This is a catch-all contact post for Zelos Wilder/Kaneis Major in warforged. Please put the style of contact (in-person, mail, scrying, messenger pigeons - whatever) and/or location in the subject line!
[Okay so the guy was a bit weird, she was willing to give him that. A freak-out like that and punching Mar? It seemed a little...unusual. She'd done a few things similar in her youth and it usually the result of an underlying issue. She didn't expect him to open up about it but she is going to check up on him.]
[After the talks were all done, Zelos did the best he could to give himself space to calm down. He...hated having outbursts like that, he must have seemed insane to everyone around. He much preferred being in control and not letting any of his emotions showed.]
[Though unfortunately, sometimes that's hard to do when you're a screwed up 23 year old crazy person]
[But Valamia will find him sitting by the edge of the lake, his arms wrapped around his knees. His composure is back, for the most part, and he looks up at her]
Huh?
Oh...yeah. Sorry, didn't mean to lose my cool like that. That guy's seriously annoying.
[She'll take that second to sit down, curl her tail around her and get a bit comfortable. Ah, the old joints have not been enjoying all of this outdoor sleeping.]
I'm not great with people who are as...open and oblivious as he is. He is horrible at first impressions, doesn't think at all about what someone can find offensive and clearly isn't great at understanding how important life is.
[That and of all the Horde races, blood elves and undead were not people she wanted to talk to.]
All in all, I'm surprised I didn't punch him within the first ten minutes of talking to him.
You have no idea. Tallir and I were always in trouble when we were kids.
[But she cannot be anything but fond about him. Her dear old silly brother.]
It happens. We're not exactly in a great situation, all things considered. I mean...who wants to get dragged into a war that they're not part of and deal with all of this? [She'll chuckle.] At least it was just a punch and not a mace or sword to someone.
[that's the sorta stuff kids did, right? Even his sister....okay, maybe he just shouldn't think about that right now]
Heh...no, I still know not to turn that stuff on your allies. [So far. But at that remark about the situation, he gives a small "heh"] ...I just don't like hearing that kind of reasoning. It's...screwed up a lot of things for me. Stuff I'll never be able to fix.
[She could almost go on a ramble about silly stories between her and Tallir but she'll wait until there's a better time.]
You know, I don't think anyone would hold your actions against you. [Not with everything they're all dealing with.] It's not easy, life and mistakes. We all make them, we all have regrets and no one wants to talk about it because we don't like exposing ourselves. When someone acts in a way that reminds of us how it was before...it hurts.
[She takes a small pause and sighs.] Sometimes we react before we think in that situation. Sometimes it's hard not to react.
Maybe. I can assure you that being an adult doesn't always consist of being polite and in control of yourself all the time.
Trust me, twenty-thousand some years later and there are plenty of people who still lose their cool and have punched someone in the face. I've done it within the past century.
[She's going to start laughing. Give her a minute. Okay. Okay. She's done laughing.]
We've always been a long-lived race. Not all of us live to see these ages but if allowed, we'll live well past my age. Oh and yes, I am aware that does make me pretty old.
[It's okay. The reaction is always enough. If she didn't love watching people react to her age, she wouldn't tell them.]
It depends. On worlds we tried to establish life and settle in, didn't get to stay and on the ship we rotated our people in and out of cryostasis. Personally I spent my time being a Peacekeeper, looking after my little sister or bothering my husband at the time. It kept a person occupied.
[Get with the times, man. Cryostsis for years, decades even!!! ]
It's a sort of hibernation. Space travel would drive everyone insane otherwise. As for being a Peacekeeper, you're right. It's a sort of guard. Defender of the people and meant to keep people from being too uncivil. It was...interesting. I can tell you plenty of times things went past the punching someone in the face marker.
Yep. I mean...even a person you love with all your heart can get on your nerves sometimes. The stasis helped keep couples or families from wanting to constantly punch each other in frustration or far worse.
Now imagine all of those people who are weird in their stories being around my age. Adults, we're all pretty weird. No age is going to stop or change the levels of weird either.
Ha, good point. When you put it that way, I kinda wish I got a hibernation from time to time.
[Nevermind he mostly just seems to sleep in the Sanctum]
Really? Even after, like, ten thousand years or something- people don't learn that they'll get in trouble if they go around without pants or claim their some...holy messiah or whatever?
I think it does help keep everyone a little more sane. It doesn't stop stupidity but every little bit helps in keeping the majority sane.
[She's going to smile and try very hard not to chuckle. ...Alright she's good.]
No, not all the time. I remember one time before I retired there was this couple. Young couple, not yet married but I think they did get married a few centuries later...they got into a fight. One stormed off to go calm down and the other decided to have a drink or five. ...You know I'm guessing you can figure out how well that ended for everyone.

how about later in the evening after punching Mar
Hey, doing a little better?
sounds good
[Though unfortunately, sometimes that's hard to do when you're a screwed up 23 year old crazy person]

woohoo~
I know. I've been tempted to punch him myself but for a few different reasons. Mind if I join you for a bit?
[She isn't going to be quite so bold as to just sit around and make sure he's okay. At least not now.]
no subject
[He had no reason to say no. It would only make him obvious too. But he looks slightly amused about that]
Yeah? What reasons are those?

no subject
Heh...yeah, I'm noticing that. Maybe he's got some kind of brain damage or something.
[He moves to rub the back of his neck]
Though if he does, I probably didn't help with that.
no subject
There are just some people like that naturally. I had a brother who had a few of those traits, not all of them but a few.
I wouldn't worry too much. Hardheaded people like him can usually handle it.
no subject
[Or so he can guess, considering he's the brother that seems to give nothing but grief to his sister]
Guess so. [He shifts a little] I usually don't lose my cool like that, really.

no subject
....I guess so. But I'm supposed to be an adult, you know? And you know, not hit people when I lose my cool?
[He considers] Then again, Sheena's always doing that- maybe I hung around her too much.
no subject

no subject
- Hold up! Twenty-thousand?!
no subject
Yeah. There's a few Draenei around who are twenty thousand or older. ...I think I'm closer to thirty than twenty though. Hm...
no subject
[DA FUQ]
How's that even possible?! The oldest people I know are four thousand! And that's really old!
no subject
We've always been a long-lived race. Not all of us live to see these ages but if allowed, we'll live well past my age. Oh and yes, I am aware that does make me pretty old.
no subject
[If he was the sort, he'd blush at the laughter. But oh well, he's used to being over the top and getting reaction]
I can't even imagine that! What do you even do with all that time- take up a thousand hobbies?
no subject

no subject
[Da fuq is that he ain't from one of your fancy space traveling canons]
A Peacekeeper? You mean like a guard or something? Or did your family just fight that much?
no subject

no subject
[Huh. Weird. But he guesses that's what the Summon Spirits do. Too bad that's not really a thing for angels]
I can imagine. I was familiar with the knights and guards back in my hometown. Lot of weird stories.
