[Hi, Trench. It's been a while since this display name surfaced on the network. This time, there was accompanying video instead of just text-- And the dour man frowning into the screen, with dark bags under his stormy ocean green eyes and his cheekbones prominent in a manner that suggested recent illness, exuded nothing short of the stony sense of a man that was done with watching the madness of recent weeks.
--Or, perhaps, someone that had actually worried himself sick over the last month. Literally.]
... Not that anyone cares, but watching all these pompous assholes call themselves 'teacher' is making me want to pull my hair out.
[And, look. He had a lot of it. Heaving a sigh, Waver Velvet plucked the wire glasses he had been wearing off and set them aside. Pinching the bridge of his nose as if to ward off a headache-- or collect himself-- he continued.]
Some of you know me. Most of you don't.
That's fine, I'm only here to offer a different option for anyone feeling a tad... unanchored here.
I am Waver Velvet, sometimes called Lord El Melloi II-- but most of the people here just know me as Mackenzie. I'm not a combat instructor, like that trio that really wanted to play out a real-life Tournament Arc a few months ago-- like we were in one of my kids' anime shows. I'm also hardly worth even calling a mage. What I am, however, is someone that is willing to offer tutoring to anyone that feels they need it... In basically any subject matter.
[A shrug. He waved a hand.]
Don't worry about whether or not I'm an expert. One thing I've learned after teaching for the last decade is that no one is. If you need help with something that I don't already know, I'll learn it well enough to help.
--Also, if you need someone to just listen and help you resolve a problem... I can do that, too.
No, I won't ask you to call me Professor, Teacher, or even have you use my title. Just keep calling me Mackenzie, if you wish. I won't ask for payment, either. But, well... if you insist, bring along something to eat. Anything. I don't really care what.
Alternately, feel free to talk about whatever's currently interesting to you.
...I won't arrange 'classes' either. I know that you lot of teenagers are basically free-range, and that's fine. There's probably good reason for you to not trust adults. I know I didn't while I was in school.
[He sighed, satisfied that at least he was able to remove this much of his concerns from his shoulders, and seemed to be signing off before adding:]
Oh. One more thing. Does anyone have an open venue? I have a stack of rhythm and fighting games that I'm willling to share with people needing a distraction-- in a public forum, of course. If enough people are interested, we could work on making something official.
That's all.

Palamedes... When you have a moment and are up to it, I'd like to talk.

ichi ni san yon go
or shi depending on who ur talking to. i think it sounds prettier but a lot of people disagree
but also hi fu mi yo itsu so i mean it's anyone's guess lol
i've had better months tbh
by like. a lot
this was probably bottom two months ever honestly
no subject
...a lot has been happening, Miss Himiko. Are you able to be more specific?
locked
[private]
so my girlfriends vanished for a week
one of them got stuck in a time loop with some blondie bitch murdering her repeatedly
and the other got possessed to do bad stuff
i spent two whole weeks wandering around trying to help people
a lot more people died than i ever wanted to see die
most of my old friends still think i'm a murderer
and to top it all off the me that just showed up actually IS a murderer and a card-carrying member of the league of villains
the only remotely good things that have happened all month are, in order
i managed to stop a friend from killing someone
(one of the friends that might still be convinced i was lying to try and hurt people)
and my girlfriend stopped dying.
that's it. full stop.
there. does that answer your question, el-melloi ii, sir?
[ the formality upped a notch for that entire post. she's... not having a great time of it. ]
locked forever
I honestly didn't expect such candor. I'd never force admissions like this, Himiko.
That all sounds terrible, though. Straight out of a horror game kind of terrible.
For what it's worth, I'm sorry all of this is happening and that your friends don't believe you. Multiple timelines likely being in play are always hard.
no subject
it shouldn't and it's gross and it sucks but sometimes the world is just like that
that's part of being a hero after all. you have to keep moving forward
also you don't have to apologize. it's not your fault or anything
it's been that way since i showed up after all
but i guess it's nice to hear that from someone that i don't get all chu-chu with
no subject
[It was an alarming thought. From the little he knew of Aizawa, he had seemed to be an exceedingly rational man... ]
Himiko. I may not know much about the heroes of your world, but even the heroes in stories have people standing by their side.
Heroes need and deserve support too. That means more than just having romantic partners.
no subject
or at least he let me speak.
idk if he ever made a decision. he's gone now anyway
i know that ok? even all might had people watching his back
but all might was a real hero. a normal hero. the kind of hero everyone looks up to
it's easy for people to band behind someone who's so obviously good, you know?
it takes a lot more for someone like me.
i'm not gonna let that stop me though.
in case you were thinking it.
it just means i have to try twice as hard as everyone else, even when i only want to put half the effort first.
no subject
You're certainly someone I would have wanted to be around when I was a teen.... as much as I wanted to be around anyone.
...I had to work twice as hard as my classmates too, because I wasn't talented in the same way that they were. It got so frustrating that I never did officially graduate.
Now, I've come further than any of them.
With your efforts right here? I think you can do the same-- if that's what you want.
