seven paintings burned

[thehangedrose]

[Well, the worst is over. He's not longer infected by the virus, and he's managed to get back into Rapunzel's good graces again, but it still really bothers Garry that there are still so many people out there that he yelled at, insulted, hurt, and generally mistreated while he was in that wrathful state, so he opens the journal, clearing his throat before he starts to speak.]

Um, listen. I...I want to apologize to the castle residents. A while ago, I made some really mean statements over the journal, and I had some conversations with some of you that, erm, didn't exactly end well.

I really want to say, that from the bottom of my heart, I'm really sorry for what I did. I know it was because of the virus that was going around a while ago, but still, what I did...that was inexcusable, it really was!

[A sigh.]

So, if there's any way to make it up to any of you who I hurt during that time, please, don't hesitate to tell me! I really feel bad about it, I do. I promise I'm not like that at all, I'm not. Really.

[And an awkward pause as he closes the book. People will find him hanging out in the lobby in a chair, looking rather morose.]

Comments

[ino]

Oh, good. I was afraid I was going to have to kill you.

[SAID SO CHEERFULLY]

[thehangedrose]

......

[Don't take it seriously, it's just a joke, right? Totally, people wouldn't kill people over that, hahaha, let's just answer this nice lady all calmly and everything, everything is going to be okay!]

2/2

[thehangedrose]

OH GOD, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME, I TOLD YOU I'M SORRRYYYY!!!

[EVERYTHING IS TOTALLY NOT GOING TO BE OKAY, IS IT? BRB BARRICADING SELF IN ROOM FOREVER.]

[ino]

...

[welp. healthy sense of fear never hurts.]

Well, you apologized, so it's fine.

[thehangedrose]

[brb hyperventilating, if he gets a heart attack HE IS SO BLAMING YOU except he would probably never have the heart to (pun not intended)]

But, hey, hey, you do realize that all of the stuff I did, that wasn't exactly all me, right? I didn't intend anyone to get hurt, why would you ever kill somebody over something they didn't fully intend??

[ino]

I wouldn't, of course. Since you apologized and it was the virus, now you aren't in big trouble anymore.

[because if you were intentionally being an asshole to rapunzel, your life would be overrrrr]

action

[not_mafia]

[After having gotten side-tracked and ending up spending one extra day at the castle than Tsuna had been meaning to, the boy's on his way out to head back home, when he spots a familiar boy in a chair.

Poor guy. He was usually so sweet; lashing out with the wrath strain like that must have really taken its toll. None-the-less, Tsuna manages a little smile as he comes over.]

Hey, Garry-kun.

action

[thehangedrose]

[He turns his head at the voice, and almost leaps out of his chair. It's...Tsuna. The one he probably hurt the most. His surprised look changes into a rather guilty one, as he can't help but glance away from the kid.]

Oh, um...hi, Tsuna.

[And a long silence before he bites his lip and speaks, sadly:]

I'm...I'm really sorry for what I did to you, Tsuna. Please believe me, I never wanted to hurt such a nice guy like you...

action forever with me, garry...~

[not_mafia]

[Yeah, he was expecting that sort of response.]

It's fine. Remember what I said? It wasn't your fault.

[Even during that little episode, Tsuna didn't blame Garry for a moment. Although it HAD been inconvenient. He was pretty lucky to have stumbled upon Martel afterward.

He smiles a little bit bigger, then, and offers a hand to him.]

No hard feelings, alright, Garry-kun?

forever and ever~

[thehangedrose]

It doesn't feel like it isn't my fault...

[He sees the hand, and looks up, something like quiet disbelief in his expression]

But I...I hurt you, Tsuna. Why are you forgiving me so quickly?

[not_mafia]

[So many things that he could say, but it really just boils down to one thing.]

Because we're friends. And we'll always be friends.

[Still offering his hand.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[Oh hey, he totally made out with your girlfriend.

SURE IS AVOIDING YOU FOREVER]

[thehangedrose]

[HE IS SO GOING TO FIND YOU AND HAVE A NICE LITTLE CHAT WITH YOU MISTER.]

[i mean your door looks nice and kickable and everything]

[whichwayyoulean]

[Stand on the doormat and get the BOOT, Gar]

[thehangedrose]

[BOOTS WILL NOT STOP HIM FROM GETTING POTENTIAL RIVALS AWAY HIS GIRLFRIEND, THANK YOU VERY MUCH]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He doesn't want your girlfriend man. Ino has like a billion women lined up for him. HE NEEDS NO MORE]

this guy

[kalinda]

[Sup, GARRY. Remember this voice?]

Do I also get an apology for having my private time interrupted?

this woman who is friends with the woman with the snake

[thehangedrose]

...

[oh wow no HE STILL ISN'T OVER YOU DOING WHAT YOU DID]

If you apologize for not being apologetic over it when you put it out for everyone to hear and have me interrupt, then yes.

this judgmental fellow

[kalinda]

I'm not sure there will be much luck if I wasn't apologetic the first time.

this woman who needs to learn some things are meant to be private

[thehangedrose]

Then, I'm sorry lady, but I don't think I'll apologize for doing what I thought was right.

I'm apologizing for what I did during the period of the virus, not what I said back then.

the dude who needs to see that this is a filter thsoe are pretty private look at them go

[kalinda]

Wouldn't that first rationalization work for the second apology as well?

dictated

[heal_theworld]

It wasn't your fault, Garry. Don't worry about it. You've already been forgiven. [She didn't meet him personally, but she heard his posts and she healed Tsuna after he had a run in with him.]

dictated

[thehangedrose]

Yeah, well, I don't want people who haven't forgiven me yet not know how much I feel bad over it...I don't want anyone to remain upset, you know?

dictated

[heal_theworld]

I understand, but really, everybody was in the same situation. So don't feel too badly, all right?

dictated

[thehangedrose]

Alright...if you say so, Martel.

I mean...it's just, how could such a horrible thing happen to everybody? It's really unfair.
