[Ken bows to the device screen, worried and regretful. He would have done this in person, but he doesn't know how to get a hold of something of them.]

I wanted to apologize for my behavior this weekend. Particularly to Toph-san, Rita-san, the other girl, Lockdown-san, and Rita's other friend.

I shouldn't have used Lockdown-san as I did, as a slave. Everything.... I hope you can accept my apologies, all of you.

[Very short entry, after all, he's kind of still hating himself.]

You're lucky I was busy or I would've kick yer ass.

But you're back now so stop being all wussy faced.

[oceantrauma]

It would have been better if you had.... Maybe things wouldn't have progressed as they did.

....I wish it was that simple. I'm sorry, Michael-sama.

1/2

[gotashortfuse]

AS MY SECOND IN COMMAND I FORBID YOU FROM CONTINUING TO FEEL SORRY FOR YOURSELF!

1/2

[oceantrauma]

Ahhh.... [He wants to argue he is NO ONE'S second in command, but-]

[oceantrauma]

[-done that before and it never gets him anywhere. So.]

I'll try.

[gotashortfuse]

You better!

[oceantrauma]

I will, of course. I'll give it my best effort.

NBD, dude. NDB. You don't want your whip back, do you? Because I'll toss it if you don't want it.

[Sent about a minute later.]

I'm Mindy.

Mindy-san, no. Do whatever you want with it.

And I'm Ken.

[She's been in this position, so she sympathizes.]

Thanks, but it's not your fault, you know. You were cursed.

[oceantrauma]

No!

...it's more than that.

The way I acted, that was how I was before. That was how I thought and acted back home. It wasn't just a curse. Not to me.

[negativegate]

Huh?

[Okay, that throws her.]

Are you serious? I mean--that wasn't anywhere near the way you are now.

private; video;

[oceantrauma]

I know.

Wormmon kept saying I was this way before...the way I am now. But when he met me again, I was very different. I don't think he believed I was completely comfortable with the change, as he kept asking me if I really wanted things that way.

But it was still me.

[negativegate]

I still find that hard to believe now...

If that was you, you really changed.

[ruthless_hunter]

You're lucky I got stuff to do today.

[oceantrauma]

...

Yes. Very lucky.

[ruthless_hunter]

Nobody cheats me outta payment.

What's with you all of a sudden? Last weekend you were acting all crazy and now you look like you're carryin' nitro.

[oceantrauma]

...I was cursed.

If you want payment, though, I can still give you that.

[ruthless_hunter]

[Someone just said the magic word.]

I'm listening...

[beifongbandit]

Yeah, yeah. It happens.

voice;

[oceantrauma]

You're very...accepting of this stuff.

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Well, it's happened to me before. I've had to pry plenty of friends away from their murderous rampages. Just -- do the same for me, if it ever happens.

voice;

[oceantrauma]

I can't say I'll be successful, but I will definitely do the same for you.

voice;

[beifongbandit]

Good. Then we're fine.
