Are you sure

[why has he usually been hated if he's not an Inherently Bad Person]

[sangreine]

I think so. And as you now know, I can be challenging, so it's not something I can say about just anyone.

[ Not even touching the obvious low self esteem here. She's learned a few things dealing with Causality, it probably won't do any good. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

I don't think it's really that bad to get mad about things
Sometimes that just means you care a lot

[sangreine]

[ It takes her a second to respond because that cuts to the core of things more than he might have intended. ]

Mm, sometimes it does mean that. And thank you for saying so.

[gemuinemanagement]

Don't worry about it
I'm the same way sometimes

[sangreine]

Are you? I suppose we all have some things which are that important to us.

[gemuinemanagement]

I get mad a lot
Especially when people don't listen
And do things that put them in danger

[He's definitely the 'angry because worried' type.]

[sangreine]

Ah, I see. That's understandable, I think.

[gemuinemanagement]

So I can't really judge you about getting mad either

[sangreine]

I'm not usually mad over so noble a purpose, but thank you all the same.

[gemuinemanagement]

What do you get mad about

[sangreine]

I'm not always great about taking advice, but I can do it when it's coming from someone who cares about me and is trying to help because they want to see me happy or whatever. What I get mad about most often is when people start talking about my life when they either don't know enough about me to be saying anything, or when I feel like it's more about them than about me. Like they're just trying to be right rather than support me.

Or when they compare my situation to other vampires they've known and say it's all the same, that upsets me too.

[gemuinemanagement]

I'd get mad about those things too
People shouldn't give advice when they don't know the situation
Or be vampire racist

[sangreine]

Yeah. But I'm trying to remember that they mean well even so, it really doesn't do anyone any good to argue.

Easy to say when I'm in a calm discussion instead of a heated one, I know.

[gemuinemanagement]

For what it's worth, I won't get offended if you get mad at me

[He's used to it!]

[sangreine]

[ getting angry with Robin would feel like hurting a puppy ]

I'll keep that in mind, but I still think I'd like to avoid it if possible.

[gemuinemanagement]

Okay
Thank you for that

[sangreine]

No problem at all. I'm settling down more now anyway, so in general I lose my temper less. When I first arrived here I was much more volatile.

[gemuinemanagement]

Arriving without any of your memories would make anyone off-kilter, I think

[sangreine]

It's a bit different for me. My species hibernates for decades at a time, and when I wake up I don't have memories or language or much of a personality.

That's how I was at first, very much like a child. [ a little smile ] Tantrums and all.

[gemuinemanagement]

Baby Alizarin...

[that's cute though]

[sangreine]

Sort of, only in my current body. Physically I was the same as I am now, except my hair was really long.

[gemuinemanagement]

How long ago was this

[sangreine]

About two months ago. 58 days.

Although we had a game this week that reverted me to that state for most of it. It made people older or younger, and for me there's very little difference.

[gemuinemanagement]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised they can do that kind of thing
