✪ 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.

[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.

Maybe Soraoto's motives are selfish, but that's not always the worst thing, eh? Did he hurt anyone outside of silly costumes or whatever?

There's a lot to be learned from learning to play once in awhile and if someone is that easily bothered by such a small thing, then they simply have that much to learn.

[Okay. Creeped a little but he more huffs at it. Not too surprising.]
Please make sure it is in private. I rather not hear the tune again anytime soon.

Y-Yes. I believe he got copies of them all. Perhaps it could be called fraudulent somehow, if something were to happen with them.

[There is a sigh then silence for a long moment.]

Unfortunately, he did cause harm. Most was out of self defense but the other damage I... I blame myself for. I wish now I had made some rules for him before all this, but I'm not even sure he'd have followed them anyway.

Of course, I'll keep it to myself.

Eh, it'll be fine. Japan wants me to dress up, not share it. I think.

Ahh... damn. Sorry to hear that Cube. Well if there's anything I can do it the future to help, let me know eh?

[AGAIN, more then he wants to know in his current state but he lets it pass]

Thank you... but I don't believe there is anything anyone can do to patch lost friendships over this matter other than myself. [Like Gakupo and Luke.]

Again, I really do appreciate your efforts in entertaining him and in the end, realizing it wasn't me asking for such things.

Eh, if friends can't take a small joke when it wasn't even your doing, they weren't much for friends to begin with.

I do worse to my brothers all the time for fun. [And how.]

I'm afraid some people do not take kindly to being tossed about in the air or being forced to dance in women's clothing to a tune on a flute. I know I would be furious. [And often is when Soraoto puts him in a dress and heels.]

Ah, well... I suppose that makes them stronger.

It does make them stronger. If you're going to get unsettled by a little thing like okama, the New World will eat you alive.

It's not me I'm worried about...

it's about the people Soraoto hurt both physically and emotionally. Like Gakupo, Luke, Hungary, Shinjiro...

[And... some others that he can't honestly recall names of at the moment]

Give them some time, they'll come around. Shinji knows it wasn't you. He actually gave me the tip-off, eh?

Gakupo seems to get mad easily, but if he's still willing to work by your side and you really explain it, I'm sure he'll understand eventually. And if not, send him my way and I'll explain it.

Shinjiro...

I'm glad he said something.

[A bit of relief shows through as Cube thinks of that for a moment. Good old Shinjiro.]

I-I don't know if that would be necessary b-but... I will keep it in mind. Have you both been friends for very long?

Me and Gakupo? Not especially. Mostly it was jut that Japan asked me to look after him when we all came to Spero. Oh, but he did teach me a song.

That reminds me though... was there something special about your brother's flute?

Did he? What sort of song is it?

Yes. I've found out it causes those with mechanical parts, like cyborgs and robots, pain and... well... makes them do very odd things. Soraoto played it for Gakupo and I- I recall him making animal sounds and acting strange.

I-If Saburo is truly here... t-then it must not work on him.
[yes, he isn't sure if that was fake or what but he recalls the fight with Saburo briefly]

One about flying, it's pretty cool.

Ah... all right. I see. Then you'll definitely want to apologize for that, eh? [Shrugs.] And give him time.

What, that wasn't your brother fighting with you? [Somehow hadn't made the connection that Soraoto had taken over at that point though it made some sense.]

Ah, perhaps you could share it with me sometime. N-not now, you've done so much already.

Of course. I'll give him all the time he needs.

Eh? N-No. I mean, yes. It wasn't me. Soraoto had started that fight with Saburo! B-But... [Thinking about it now he didn't seem to recall me at all, did he?

[He goes quiet a bit before he smiles]

I suppose that means Alpha doesn't recall me either. It's alright. At least I can see them once more.

Edited 2011-08-06 08:45 (UTC)

Once I get some practice in. It'd be too weird to sing without practicing first, eh.

Alpha? Hmn... maybe it'll come to Saburo with a little bit of time, eh? I think it took Japan a little while to remember things when he left before.

Of course. Please don't rush yourself.

Mhm. Alpha is Onee-chan to me. She has come and gone many times now, mostly not remembering her previous stays here.

I will give them time but I'm grateful regardless.

Of course.

Oh. Sorry to hear that, eh. Well, I hope they do remember then. Or that it works out well nevertheless. I'm not sure how I'd be if Ace forgot about me.

It's happened so many times now, I've found ways to not worry about it. I-I admit, it hurts, but you can't blame them and the energy is wasted on worrying or crying over it. All we can do is watch over them during their stay here and hope to be friends once more.

Well, you've got me Cube. I'm not going anywhere.

It's not a replacement. Just some stability.

[That was unexpected, but not really. It's comforting to hear and just what he needs to hear right now and knows it.]

Thank you, Marco.

The same to you. I can't be certain but I feel as though I'll be here a long while yet.

Thanks kid. We've got each other's backs then, eh?

[he chuckles lightly at being call "kid." He doesn't know how old Marco is, knowing he is a phoenix but it's still amusing to be called a child]

Yes. I believe that is a good way of putting it.

[So far as Marco's concerned, unless you're like Garp or his old man, you're still a kid.]

Come what may then, eh.

[If Cube can be "little brother" to a month-old robot, he can be "kid" to Marco... or just about anyone. lmao]

Every day is a new challenge. Specially in a broken world like this one.

May I ask you a favor? Not now, but sometime... would you mind sharing a story or two with me about your life as a pirate? One of my first friends in Discedo was a pirate, though I believe he was a bit different than most, but since then I've always been curious what kind of life it entailed. I regret not asking him more about it while he was here.

[But perhaps there is hope to learn something new now]

[Yeah pretty much.]

Hah... of course. [Small laugh.] I have a couple hundred though. Anything specific?
