Public Apology

[chosen_gigolo]

 [A much more composed Chosen sits in front of the SFC this morning, looking fairly reluctant but this needs to be done. Are those note cards?]

To all the men, women, aliens, and talking animals of Vatheon, I wish to humbly extend my apologies for the events of a few nights ago. It was completely out of line and I know I offended a great many of you. It won't happen again and I'd appreciate if we could just take it as a parable on the evils of alcohol and move on. If anyone still has a bone to pick with me over it, just.. respond, I guess. 

Again, I sincerely ask your forgiveness for the ass I made of myself on the network and any trouble it may have caused anyone.

[He tucks the note cards away, and reaches to turn off the picture, but pauses a moment before he does.]

...Except to that white-haired guy. You're kind of a dick.

Just be glad you had someone there to keep you in line.

[Despite his words, Guy's expression stays soft. Didn't need to tease the guy if he was trying so hard to ask for forgiveness.]

[chosen_gigolo]

No kidding. I have no idea why she puts up with me, I really don't.

[And when not inebriated out of his mind, Zelos can actually read people well enough to know when they're trying to be nice.]

[Video]

[relinquishing]

Well hey, don't take her for granted. If she's patient enough to put up with you at your worst, I'd say she's pretty special.

[Ky inclines his head, appreciating that he's going to the effort to apologize.]

On my own behalf, I accept.

[Video]

[chosen_gigolo]

That's, uh... good.

[Zelda had mentioned this guy was kind of a judgmental prick (his paraphrasing of what she said in much more polite terms) but as long as he kept his brand of morality to himself Zelos wasn't going to stir things up unnecessarily.

More than he already had, anyway.]

IIt would go far to apologiize to iindiiviidual2 2peciifically.
You did not acquiit your2elf well iin your venture.

[chosen_gigolo]

I'm well aware, thanks. Honestly I'm pretty glad you jumped on tellin' the younger trolls "ignore the human."

[He's not gonna go around apologizing individually though. That'll take way too long and be far far too uncomfortable. He'll just... not mention one way or the other to Psii. At least his thanks to the troll for the damage control are genuine.]

[p2iioniicii2t]

You do not need two expre22 gratiitude two me.
There wa2 2iimply no need to allow you to 2peak 2o crudely two our Heiire22.

What are you talking about? Best show I ever saw!

[video]

[chosen_gigolo]

Uh... you're welcome, I guess?

[That face does't look familiar. Did he even comment that night or was Zelos drunker than he thought?]

[video]

[bountyofthesun]

[Nope, he didn't - too busy laughing his ass off at the time.]

These little talky things do come with their dangers, don't they?

[Video]

[heartandsoul]

I think you should be apologizing to your friend more than Vatheon at large. She was the one that had to deal with you.

[Video]

[chosen_gigolo]

Already did, my feisty cutie! No need to worry!

[ofthefullmoon]

It's all right.

[ she feels more like she's at fault anyway. ]

Estelle-hunny, I'm sorry, don't be like that. I didn't mean what I said.

[bufudine]

It's fine.

[Serph doesn't have a bone to pick with you, but he does think Zelos needs a break. He's not the sort to chide so he doesn't.]

The roses turned out well, thanks to your advice a month ago. Would you like to see them in person?

[chosen_gigolo]

[Well this is encouraging! Someone who isn't laughing at him or putting him down.]

I'm glad I could help! That'd be great. I've got time whenever you do, bud.

[used2btoonpi]

At least it was entertainin'.

I'll have to keep that post in mind next time I run into someone tryin' to get drunk.

They'll get to see what kind of an idiot they might end up lookin' like.

[Video]

[chosen_gigolo]

Well I did offer it up as an example, so I guess I deserve that.

[Video]

[flyingdreams]

[Heh heh heh]

Getting yourself in trouble already, Zelos?

[Video]

[chosen_gigolo]

[She saw that? His life is over.]

Apparently!

[He lets out a nervous chuckle.]

I wasn't really feeling myself. I drank a bit too much.

[clairvoyancies]

...

[Just staring at those note cards. With a few nights having passed now, Tsubaki's uncomfortableness has lessened, though the topic in question is still a touchy one; and the memories it brought back were not pleasant ones.

She simply blinks once, tilting her head as if to examine him. And she bites her lip.]

...Zelda has helped you.

[video; filtered]

[chosen_gigolo]

Tsubaki..

[Zelos had been meaning to speak with her as soon as he'd seen the log of her reaction. Not only did he feel terrible about obviously dredging back up all the things he'd wanted to help her forget (terrible doesn't even cover it), he'd seen that slightly jealous look when Zelda answered the SFC.

That broke him down more than anything. He wanted to be a friend to her, a confidant, but if she was having other feelings...

This is more complicated than he's willing to deal with but he'll deal all the same. He won't abandon Tsubaki. If anything, his idiocy on the network that night will help break her of that sort of fondness.]

Yeah, she did.

[Damn it all to hell but he can't manage to say anything more just now.]

LMAO how did I miss this?! << sorry!

[redeyed_devilx]

[ Assuming that it was directed at him he just gives the guy a smug look. He doesn't say anything at first but feel free to talk to him he might respond.... if not mess with Zelos a little more. ]

Haha, it's cool~ He's too smart to take that bait when sober though, sorry

[chosen_gigolo]

[Oh it was, but just because he perceives someone as a jerk doesn't mean he'll seek them out to antagonize them, so unless Duzell pokes him first, he's not poking back.]
