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

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What do you mean?

[He sags at hearing that second outburst]

You needn't believe me, if you don't wish to but the items you left behind and the photos back in Discedo of us all are proof enough to me that your existence over a year ago was real.

[he takes the sunglasses off his head and thumbs over the sides. These were the ones Saburo had replaced his originals with. it feels so long ago now.]

I'm not sure. You were friends with Miss Alpha before I even came to know you but in the end you didn't wish to stick around either of us due to some complications with your real brother. I believe it was to protect Alpha b-but I'm not sure. You've always been rather shady.

[Then he flails, realizing he had said something he used to without much thought to it and how, now, with Saburo's memories not there, it was actually very rude]

I-I mean--!! I- It's just- I meant that y-you were always mysterious!!

[This is way too much to process at once. The words are easy enough, but the meanings seem alien...or a little unsettling, or too familiar for unknown things. Which is also unsettling.

So he just picks the least-confusing thing in this whole mess, which is the odd 'recognition' feeling about what Cube is holding.]

...Are you wearing my shades?

[He's about to take off his own for a study-comparison.]

Wait a minute...

[And this obliterates everything else in the whole conversation.]

Are you saying Kikaider was here?! What happened? Did I succeed in killing him, if he was?

...Is he still here?

Ah- y-yes. You left them behind w-with your flute and guns.

Edited 2011-08-12 04:22 (UTC)

[Then he responds very plainly]

No. Your brother is no longer here and I don't know what became of him. People disappear here quite suddenly, after all.

My...

What! That isn't my flute!

[Not after all that alone time it spent with Gill.]

[...]

[That is majorly depressing and disappointing...

...with a strange side of relief?! What? He's not sure where that came from, but he quickly kills it. None of these reactions are important if Kikaider is elsewhere.]

Are you certain? He isn't anywhere else on this world?

I-It isn't?! Then why did you have it? Where did it come from?!

[And Cube puts lips on that... *CRY*]

I can't be certain. I've only been to Discedo and Spero. However, he hasn't said anything that I can see over the communicators.

If I see him or hear from him, I'll let you know. I won't keep you from your purpose.

[If only Cube knew he was mouthing Gill's secondhand phallic object. Luckily for him, Saburo won't go there.]

It belongs to... a human. Hmmm. A coward who only relies on his toys!

[Shaking his head more. Cube seems to know too much, but he can't ignore that offer.]

Do that. [...] What was Kikaider to you, and Alpha? An enemy?

[He doubts it because of course that would make sense.]

[Please, I don't want to lose my dinner. *CRIES MORE*]

Oh...

[He seems rather depressed about that. His ears even droop.]

I did not know him very well personally but he called himself Jiro. Alpha, on the other hand, may have been friends with him.

I have no intentions of fighting him for you.

Yes, that is Kikaider.

[Sentimental, as wishy-washy as any human... hmph!

Though he does study Cube's reaction with a bit of confusion. And a stab of--some feeling when he mentions Alpha being 'friends' with Kikaider. Which is strange. His brother did have the bad habit of befriending humans--nothing surprising about that.]

Fight him for me? Ha! I'd stop you if you tried. That is my fight.

[That oddly brings a small smile to his face. Nostalgia. Even if Saburo doesn't remember him or anything, at least he is here now.]

I wouldn't. I know its yours to fight.

[Okay, now he's smiling? He'll never understand these sudden shifts, or why he feels relieved to see this one.]

I'm certain I told you that.
