WHO: Waver+open
WHERE: The network
WHEN: A couple days after the Zodiac post.
WHAT: Damage control on the wreckage of his life.
WARNINGS: None, any that come up will be in subject lines.

So now that I've started this year by exploding in grand fashion, let me try again with a slightly cooler head.

My title is Lord El-Melloi II. My real name is Waver Velvet. I prefer to be called 'Professor', as only my family and close associates use or even know me by that name. I've had my reasons for keeping it quiet, but most of them are largely irrelevant here.

I apologize if my reticence has made me a difficult individual to coexist with. It is not something that comes from a place of inherent distrust, least of all after half a year spent in this world.

[he's trying very hard to say he tolerates most of you]

And please stop concerning yourselves with my hypothetical romantic life.

What on Earth did I miss while I was away?

[ OF ALL THE TIMES FOR HER TO POKE HER HEAD BACK OUT ]

[fionnuisce]

Oh, you know, the usual shitshow that results whenever everyone starts going at it on the average Zodiac post.

[nmc0204]

At least I can be sure that nobody got blown up or froze to death while I was away if this is what you're all choosing to argue about online.

[ of course, she could also be underestimating the general spirit of buffoonery at play here but waver probably has more restraint than that. probably. ]

[fionnuisce]

Not that I know of, just your garden variety disasters in text format. Almost normal, or as close as it gets around here.

[nmc0204]

I won't go as far as calling that reassuring but it's better than nothing. What did I miss by keeping to myself during December?

[ sometimes you just camp out in your pocket dimension vacation home for three weeks. don't worry about it. ]

[fionnuisce]

Holiday nonsense. Did you know there's no skeletons allowed unsupervised at the North Pole? Neither did I.

[nmc0204]

I'm guessing from context that this isn't some random factoid you're telling me just for the fun of it.

[ FUCKING SKELETONS??? ]

[fionnuisce]

It didn't come up as an issue, so far as I know. I just thought it was funny.

[nmc0204]

There is NOTHING funny about tempting fate like that. If we end up dealing with a horde of skeletons next month, it'll be all your fault.

[fionnuisce]

I'm sure we'll be fine. If you have problems with skeletons, I'll personally handle it for you.

[nmc0204]

[ texting back at a VERY notable speed: ] I can handle myself.

[ that's our ryoko! ]

I don't imagine a skeleton being that much harder to deal with than an android and I can deal with those easily. I'd just prefer if we weren't speaking more problems into existence.
