[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.

[mastercosplay]

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

[material_guy]

That is some acne you got goin' on there.

[onlysanechimera]

Thanks, Kano. How've you been?

[onlysanechimera]

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

[Video]

[onlysanechimera]

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

[mastercosplay]

You're welcome.

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

[onlysanechimera]

No harm done. It's nice to meet you, Hiiragi.

[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.

[onlysanechimera]

Funny, most people jump straight to 'monster'.

A pleasure to meet you as well, Yayoi.

[pikapikapikarin]

The monsters in my world look way different, so it's not like a guy with blue skin and wire-hair can be considered a monster anyhow. Not by my standards anyhow. I fight a Red Demon on several occasions.

Same. So how long have you been on the community for?

[onlysanechimera]

... Red Demon? Is this a demon with red skin, or a demon who's a color? [Well, she did say her monsters were different...]

It's been so long now I don't really remember, actually. Let me think... [Joined in March, and carry the one... wow.] ... Nearly four years now.

[pikapikapikarin]

Well his Japanese name is "Aka Oni" and he is basically a red-colored demon so...

Oh wow, that is a long time. That's incredible to have been here for a long time!

[onlysanechimera]

Ah, sorry. One never knows with some worlds. Ah, this Red Demon doesn't have anything to do with eyes, does he?

I suppose so. It's to the point where the community is basically just a normal part of my life now.

[pikapikapikarin]

No, not really. But his eyes glow red when he gets enraged. But I think that's a universal staple with the enemies I face.

That's good. It's really become a part of my life too.

[mastercosplay]

It's nice to meet you too Mister Zelgadis.

Is Christmas a tradition where you come from?

[video]

[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.]

[ifbymyhands]

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

[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]

Ah. No, probably nothing, then. Just a strange coincidence, I suppose.

... Oh, I think I miscounted. I've been here five years.

[onlysanechimera]

Ah. Sorry to hear that.

[onlysanechimera]

Not really, but as long as I've been on the community celebrating Earth holidays I've gotten used to it.

[pikapikapikarin]

Mmm. I think it's a universal sign of being really angry to me to be honest.

Oh really? Wow... that's incredible!
