[Well, will you look at that. It's Zel's room, and someone in Zel's clothes lying on Zel's bed. But that doesn't look like Zel, does it? Not unless you remember Zel from waaaaaaaay back...

He sits up slowly, looking like he heard something familiar. His eyes widen for a moment before he rushes over to what is apparently his computer - before suddenly remembering himself and forcing himself to settle down. He gives the camera a sardonic, if slightly strained smile.]

Well, look who's back. You know, if you were going to punish me for not posting enough, two months seems like a bit long for it. Especially when you already decided to do this to me again.

[Then he relaxes, slowly, and his smile widens a little.]

And now I should stop making a complete fool of myself and talk to the people reading this instead of the community. As you can probably tell, I lost access for a while... though I guess I should reintroduce myself, for the benefit of people who've joined since I was human.

Hello, my name is Zelgadiss Graywords, and I've been on this community far too long.

[And then he picks up a little box that seems to have been sitting by the computer, and raises an eyebrow, smiling a little more - though he looks shocked to see what's inside.]

... Looks like even if I missed Christmas, it didn't miss me. I wasn't expecting to get a gift from a vampire, though.

Welcome back, Zel-kun.

[onlysanechimera]

Thanks, Kano. How've you been?

[ifbymyhands]

Bored out of my mind, mostly. Everyone keeps disappearing.

[mastercosplay]

We haven't met before, sir, but welcome back and happy holidays.

[onlysanechimera]

Ah, thank you. Since we haven't met, could I ask your name?

[mastercosplay]

You're welcome.

My apologies, I'm Hiiragi, but you can call me Hii or Hii-chan if you like.

[material_guy]

That is some acne you got goin' on there.

[onlysanechimera]

Very mature. For your information, it's because I'm part golem.

[material_guy]

So that's real live rock, then?

[pikapikapikarin]

Welcome back and um... you look different I suppose? Actually kind of cool to be honest. [To put it politely.]

[onlysanechimera]

Well, that's not quite the reaction I used to get from this. But thank you. [He's smiling, anyway. 'Cool' is a lot better than usual.]

I don't know if I ever caught your name before, by the way? I suppose I should at least attempt to be polite.

[pikapikapikarin]

Yeah, you look rather cool!

Ah, it's Yayoi Kise. Nice to meet you, Zelgadiss right? A pleasure.

[croibhristeoir]

Welcome back.

[Nah, you don't look weird. The only thing Lancer will ever find strange about you, good sir, is your voice. Because I'm still the little jerk that thinks seiyuu jokes are funny.]

[onlysanechimera]

Ah, thank you.

[He cocks his head a little. Well, that's surprising. So am I. Though I tend to do it with English VAs too XD.]

[croibhristeoir]

Two months, was it? I've noticed this place is terribly fickle with connecting and disconnecting.

[Whatever works, still hilarious. |D]

...I'm sorry, but do you hear that too?

[kukuku]

Kukuku, be grateful for you are one of those chosen to receive my dark blessings.

[ But more importantly, she's never seen him like this before. ] What has plagued your vizage?

[onlysanechimera]

Oh, I am grateful. I'd have been more grateful in the post itself if I knew what to call you. You have to admit, your full title's kind of a mouthful. It fits a noble like yourself, of course.

[His face falls a little as she comments on it.] Oh. That. It happened when I lost contact with the community. It's... a long story. I'll leave it at the fact that I'm not fully human.

[dulacaun]

[ she's surprised by the change in zel's appearance, but the benefit of lacking a face is that no one can see your reactions. ]

Welcome back, Zel. Did you enjoy your break from the community?

[onlysanechimera]

Thanks, Celty. And... not especially, really. I missed talking to some people, and, well...

[He gestures at his face.] This happened at the same time I lost contact.

[mightletyouknowme]

You're not him.

[onlysanechimera]

[He rolls his eyes.]

I realize the last time I looked like this was before you knew me, Sena, but you could at least try to get past what my skin looks like.

[Yeah, he's... a little edgy about it. Greed making fun of it didn't help.]

[nofarplaneyet]

So you got turned into your current form? *Interesting enough to make Auron want to comment*

[onlysanechimera]

A long time ago, yes. It got... complicated when the community got involved.

[miraclefighter]

Welcome back to the ducky community, sir~!

[onlysanechimera]

Well, thank you.

I don't believe we've met, have we?
