✪ 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.

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.

[His cheeks become warm with embarrassment. he has never been one to take compliments well.]

T-Thank you. You're too kind.

[Cube isn't sure if it's genuine or not but to suggest it's not without proof would be horribly rude.]

I-I'm sure you have something of more importance than to compliment me this evening, do you not?

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

Not a single thing ♥

[The sad thing is, he really doesn't. Until that chip is out, he's kind of like a hermit. Because he has literally no way of defending himself.]

[loyal_cube]

[Awkward moment but Cube decides to be honest]

I-I really haven't... anything to do, either. N-Not with my leg in the condition it is in.

[He ponders asking Loki over for company but lets the idea go. He was just possessed by another demon. Who in their right mind would trust his company for dinner...?]

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

[Loki cannot keep being the kid to get lured into hanging out with demons, okay, this can't keep happening.]

I know, we could play a game~ [Shit, he really is bored. Run, Cube, run!]

[loyal_cube]

[Skeptical]

W-What sort of game?

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

It's called two truths and a lie. Children on Earth would play it sometimes to get to know each other better.

Have you heard of it?

[loyal_cube]

Ah. I've heard of similar games.

What are the rules to this one? Must I say three things and one must be false?

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

Yes, and then I would guess which one was a lie~

[loyal_cube]

I-I'm not sure what sort of things to say. Perhaps you should say some things first? I could get a better idea then of how to play...?

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

Alright then~

1. I like sweets. Especially cakes.

2. Someone once tried to kill me via karaoke.

and, 3. I am an excellent swimmer.

[loyal_cube]

[In all honesty he wants to say 3. but he'll go with the 2nd one if only because it is what would be expected of him to choose. After all, normal people don't get killed via karaoke... normally.]

Y-You're lying about your second statement, am I correct?

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

[Said very solemnly.] I'm not.

Heimdallr is a very particular sort of person, you know.

[loyal_cube]

Ah... I-It wasn't Magical Kareoke, was it?

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

Something like that. It was meant to get me drunk.

If you can imagine, the entire thing ended poorly.

1/2

[loyal_cube]

I-Its sounds as such. I'm sorry.

Ah, but perhaps I should go...

What to say....

[loyal_cube]

1. I've never been to the Celestial World due to my demonic lineage.

2. I was selected by a group of gods to watch over certain princess candidates.

3. I can't return to the demon world without danger to myself.

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

[Loki thinks on it quietly for a moment.]

I suppose I shall have to guess the first one.

[loyal_cube]

Ah, y-you're correct. I have been to the celestial world to retrieve the mistress once before.

I suppose that was too easy.

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

You spoke of a celestial realm in one and gods in the other. I merely hypothesized that if one was true than two could not be, which would, of course, summarily register three as a truth which, if two were indeed not true, I supposed, than three being true would make things quite difficult for you.

[loyal_cube]

I had forgotten.

But you're not correct about that one hypothesis. The gods never summoned me to the Celestial World. I only step food in the celestial realm when I went to retrieve the mistress. No other reason. When they spoke with me, I was in the Demon and Human worlds.

I-I have no reason to return the the Demon World. My purpose has kept me in the Human World for many centuries. [But that doesn't mean he doesn't miss the Demon World.]

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

Well a hypothesis is merely that, after all-- a hypothesis.

[loyal_cube]

Yes, you're right. I'm sorry.

Would you like to go again? I'm not sure what else I could say about myself that wouldn't be inappropriate. [Or too embarrassing]

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

Inappropriate? [Cue magical innocent child beam 2.0]

[loyal_cube]

[Cue flailing]

Ah, I-I didn't mean a-anything-- I- I-

I simply meant t-there are just some things one doesn't discuss!

[it's sounding worse and worse each time he tries to explain. His face gets red]

[magicalgirloki.livejournal.com]

[Loki is laughing at you on the inside, Cube. Outwardly, however, he continues to play at naive.]

Oh, you mean like how old you are? Freyja always said that you're never supposed ta ask that.
