✪ Aftermath! Another apology another day! ✪ [Video/Text]

[loyal_cube]

[Cube doesn't make eye contact with the camera as he speaks, almost as if he were a shy child. However, his voice is soft and sad. Still, he pushes the words out as he knows they need to be said. Everything is then repeated in text.]

I'd like to make an announcement. In a previous post I had stated I was going to charge for medical assistance, including chip removals, and allow people to disregard any medical paperwork. Unaware to most, it was not actually I who made these claims.

There will never be a charge for medical attention or for chip removals under my supervision. I apologize for any issues this brings up and will address concerns on a case-to-case basis. If you did indeed make a deal with the one posing as me, then please advise me of so and I'll do by best to return any property of yours or something sufficient in case it was not something that can be physically returned.

I'm truly sorry to those who were harassed and humiliated. Some of the incidents I'm aware of, while others I may not. Either way, I assure you I will do what I can to prevent such an event from ever happening again.

[Locked 50% to Shinjiro and Hungary]
Thank you for assisting in the return of my body. I owe you a great deal. If there is anything I can do, anything at all, please let me know. I'll do my best to make it up to you somehow.

[Locked 50% to Saburo + Alpha]
I wish to speak to you. I can't recall what Soraoto may have said while acting as me, but if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to know if you recall who I am or anything about this world prior to three weeks ago. If not, then please disregard this message, if you wish.

[Locked 50% to Luke]
You don't need to respond if you don't wish to. I hope you're safe and well. I'm sorry for everything Soraoto has put you through. I regret ever introducing him to you and wish there were some way to reverse what he has done. Even if you don't trust me, I hope you don't immediately distrust other demons because of Soraoto and I. You're a fine young gentleman, and I will respect any actions you take towards me as long as they're only towards me and Soraoto and not any others.

[Locked 50% to Gakupo]
I'll understand if you needn't wish to speak with me but I wish you're well. I'm sorry for the humiliation you were forced to endure while I was possessed. I hope you can forgive me for failing to help you. In the event this situation has changed your mind about being int he medical field, I ask you please let me know. i will respect your wishes and will not hold anything against you.

[Locked 50% to Marco]
Thank you for keeping Soraoto occupied for a while. I'm glad you saw through his trick. I'm sorry you had to go through so much trouble, though. Please advise me how to repay you for your efforts.

No need to pay me back kid. Although I would like to know how Japan got his hands on the pictures, if it's not too much trouble.

And don't worry about it. He was just in for the entertainment value, it was kind of fun. Sorry you had to see all that though, eh?

[Locked 50%]

[loyal_cube]

I... I believe Soraoto traded Japan-san for them.

[He is quiet for a bit, not really wishing to recall Japan lowering himself to singing about boobs.]

Japan-san sang an inappropriate song that amused Soraoto and I believe he considered that a fair trade. I-I'm sorry.

Ah...I-I'll be alright. I wish I could say it was the first time I have been forced to witness such things.

[ethericbit.livejournal.com]

...So nothing's really changed? We just have to fill out those forms?

[ HE REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO FILL OUT A FORM, you can tell by the way he says it, since he basically doesn't eat and sleep- only because of the chips and in minimal amounts...but he really needs this thing out and Greed recommended Cube so welp. ]

voice.

[loyal_cube]

Yes. The form is required. It's to prevent disasters from happening.

I don't share information on the forms unless whomever filled it out starts hurting people and the information is somehow helpful to stopping them. Otherwise, it's confidential.

unlocked because she doesn't really know how.

[eroslegy.livejournal.com]

… ( she's still a bit wary of him, because of everything, but she tries to keep that out of her voice. )

It vas nothing. I didn't do it to get paid.

Cube should teach her someday....

[loyal_cube]

I-I rather not use that word. [Not after what Soraoto has done to it] It's simply a gesture of my gratitude.

H-How are your bruises and burns?

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

Does this mean that you are prepared to remove chips now?

[Yeah, no, sorry, he doesn't really care about your angst.]

[loyal_cube]

No. I've been injured and it'll be at least a week or two's time before I'll be able to operate on anyone.

However, I will remove chips as soon as I'm able to.

[He is actually quite used to it. He is a chip-removal doctor, after all.]

Don't be too hard on yourself for something you couldn't control, Cube-san.

[Video]

[loyal_cube]

[His eyes dart over to see who it is but then part from the device.]

But it was something that could have been prevented.

[hakai-aniki.livejournal.com]

Why are you apologizing?

[This is before he even sees the locked part. When he reaches it, he makes a lock of equal strength without realizing he 'didn't know how,' at first. The content is more than enough to distract him from particulars.]

[Locked]

Explain first! What is 'Soraoto' and how was it acting as you?

[loyal_cube]

[Give Cube a moment here as he stares at Saburo or his frequency. It just confirms everything. He cries a bit off screen but then sniffles just as the video comes on.]

Soraoto is a demon I can summon. The black arms and white gloves? That was him. He usually only has that form but during a ritual he tricked me and possessed by body.

He fought you knowing its the opposite of what I wanted... he knew what I was feeling and turned that against me.

I don't suppose you recall anything from your previous visit here, do you? [Not if he is asking about Soraoto but confirmation would be nice]

[Interfering Action]

[u-n-asplode.livejournal.com]

[A bit after that message is posted, there is a little nudge at Cube's shoulder. The crystalline clinking noise that accompanies it identifies who it is before she speaks.]

...does Cube not need this, then?

[Flandre isn't wearing her necklace.

...but there is something crudely wrapped in paper clutched in her hands.]

[Interfering Action] <3

[loyal_cube]

[Cube turns to smile but looks at the wrapping and offers to take it from her, confused.]

What is in it, Flandre-chan?

[Staring down at it, he isn't sure if he should open it or not.]

[satellitemecha.livejournal.com]

You were... possessed?
{Clueless Yusei is clueless.}

[loyal_cube]

Yes. Soraoto thought it a very good trick to play on me but took things too far. I will not be summoning him for a very long time. [If ever]

[voice]

[asitneverwas.livejournal.com]

I heard from someone else that you weren't yourself. I don't hold it against you. I'm sorry for responding with the level of anger that I did.

[voice]

[loyal_cube]

[A sigh of relief]

I'm quite glad someone figured it out. I-I hope I never come off as rude as he did.

You have no reason to apologize. I completely understand. I was furious too, b-but there was little I could do.

I thank you so much. I-I don't know if there will be man others who will not hold blame against me. I certianly wouldn't hold it against them but... i-it's difficult. Specially when some don't even believe in demons.

[Locked 50%...or so he thinks. He may have gotten it right]

[thepurpleway]

[He reads to text, truly feeling as if he couldn't trust Cube again. But if Cube was possessed, then it couldn't have been his fault! His eyebrows furrow as he processed it all before starting a video feed.]

It hasn't changed my mind.

[Locked 50% At least Cube's side is right]

[loyal_cube]

I'm relieved to hear that.

[Or rather, relieved to hear from Gakupo at all.]

I still believe you have much potential.

[luke-triton.livejournal.com]

that was mr soraoto ?

i thought you were acting ...different..

not like you act , it was weird

[Long pause before he finishes typing]

are you ok now?

[ooc: did I miss a tag-back on the original thread? X_x;; Just wanted to be sure.]

[Text | Locked 50% ]

[loyal_cube]

Yes.

I couldn't say or do anything of my own will. All I could do was watch and listen to what he was doing.

Yes. I'm in control of my own actions again and have rested.

Thank you.

[ooc: No, I just looked. It was my fault. I'll tag that asap.]

[Okay he's trying to pull up something nonchalant and 'whatever,' about all this.]

[also audio]

[prodigal-axe.livejournal.com]

[But nothing like that comes to mind. Oh well. There's a sigh, and finally he says something.]

...It ain't your fault. That bastard should be the one apologizing.
