make amends

Remember that terrible shit you did? Time to make it right. Ish.

Top Level with the start of your apology(ies). Public or private. In person or over txt.

Well That Was Awkward ↦ Maybe you’re nervous. Awe struck. Tongue tied. Just a little socially awkward. Whatever. This is going to be bumpy.
Total Catastrophe ↦ You fucked up so hard with this one there might not be any coming back from it.
Not Again ↦ You know this wasn’t the first time. This is kind of your MO.
Sorry Not Sorry ↦ Maybe you’re prideful. Maybe you really aren’t to blame. Either way, this only debatably qualifies as an apology at all.
Wildcard ↦ You know what you did.

Comment to see where their sorry song goes. Maybe it’s an apology you didn’t know you had coming, maybe it’s long overdue, completely unnecessary or anything else. Whether or not you’re feeling forgiving is up to you.

(Sorry Not Sorry)

Yeah, I kind of got that impression :')

Was it my drunkard previous text? It was drunk for: how are you doing, how's the horse? ( He thought it was only fair, she sent a bit if Irish, he sent a bit of drunkish, it was fabulous. )

It was, thanks for the clarification. I'm a little bit stressed but otherwise fine - and he's as much of a brat as ever, but I'm sure he'll appreciate being asked after. What about you? How's Sumo?

I'm good, feeling good. Sumo's master of the domain, as it should be.

What... does a bratty horse look like? Is he stressing you out?

Good, I'm glad! A bratty horse looks like one that'll respond to having a new lock put on his stall door by laying down as dramatically as possible and acting like a bedridden Victorian child, refusing to get up for any reason other than undivided love and affection. Whether it's to comfort his apparently wounded sensibilities or because he feels like he deserves an apology for this obvious offence, who can say. Cheeky bastard still won't get up. All that to say, no, he's not stressing me out. I'm going to be in a play that's opening in a week and the lines are uh A Lot. There's so many. It's great and I love it, but!! Aahh!!

This horse sounds amazing, absolutely no games, no fronts, he knows what he wants, what he needs to thrive... I mean, do you even love him?

Probably channeling some Sumo empathy there.

And, congratulations! I'm glad to hear you're in a play and that sounds like a pretty healthy stress. I bet you'll steal the show, honestly.. so, who needs lines? ( He's fantasizing about coming to watch her in this play armed with a bouquet of flowers. Fuck, he's not even embarrassed about that far away fantasy. He's genuinely digging it. )

I love him with my whole heart but that doesn't stop me from wanting to kick him sometimes. He once sulked at me for hours because I dared give him green apples instead of red. Honestly....he's a beautiful pain in the arse. Is Sumo ever like that at all? Thank you very much :) The stress is always worth it, but right now I'm drowning in words and am rehearsing opposite a broom wearing a hat. Truly, my life is one of glamour.

Yeah, sort of comes with being the master of the domain. I don't know when... how... or even if I ever had the control, the power, but I sure as shit don't got it now.

Well, at least your broom is wearing a hat. The shit I talk to don't wear hats. It'd be a real benefit to everyone if Gavin put a fucking bag over his head, let alone a hat.

Oh yeah, no, you never had the control. I wouldn't think about it too much. By the way, your compliments have apparently roused his highness from his stupor, so thank you.

It's true, my household cleaning tools are very well presented. You should have a 'Gavin insulting jar'; give it a month, you'll have enough put aside to have him discreetly murdered.

Listen, I'm a man who works for the public... Whatever I do is considered a service for the people.

But I'm damn proud to have a horse or two in my favor, as well.

( He has to read that bit about Gavin a few times because he's not sure what a jar with a mouth has to do.. or what it ought to do for him... or what she's implying. But it becomes clear that's not what she typed, and he was, indeed, too drunk to read straight. )

I can't stress enough, I uphold the peace, the law, and I don't see any flaws in this jar business plan.

...I'm not sure that's how that works, Hank. Just a feeling. I thought you might say that - the jar business model has yet to fail ever in recorded history. It's literally flawless.

What doesn't work what way?

So, let me get this straight... I'm standing on the corner, with my jar, insulting Gavin and people tip me?

'Whatever you do is considered a service to the public' - I don't think that's how that works, but I could be wrong of course. No- no, you put a dollar in the jar every time you insult him. Like a swear jar? Do you not have those there??

The fuck do I got to pay myself to do something for free every day???

And it does work that way, you haven't seen my services.

I mean, you could murder him, sure - I was thinking more if you wanted to hire someone to commit the Gavinicide on your behalf, who'd dispose of the body and everything- ....Although actually, now that I'm thinking about it, it might actually be a worthy public service to just do it yourself..............okay I think I've just talked myself out of the jar idea, ignore me. No, no I have not. Dare I ask for details?

I mean, so.. we're talking about a gofundme to hire a hitman for Gavin... except I'm out on the corner taking cash for it.

Aside from the present conversation, what more do you need to see?

..Basically, yes. Yes I am. Well that depends; is the present conversation the only service you provide? The public must know! They demand answers!

I'm getting a sinking suspicion that I'm being used here so you can avoid your lines.

sshh, if you don't acknowledge it, I don't need to lie.

Okay, you are a vixen, taking advantage of a drunk old man.

I don't hear the drunk old man complaining

Oh, he's definitely not complaining. Use me all you like.

Excellent answer. At least now I'll have someone to blame when I'm not off script and the director gets mad. 'It's not my fault, I was distracted by an inebriated public servant!'

Good to know I'm a lot more interpersonal than a broom with a hat, go ahead and bury me when the day comes I'm second to that.

Why would I do that when I could just buy you a better hat than the broom?

make amends

hope you don't mind more with her!

dfjhnsdof NEVER WILL HE NOT WANT MORE WITH HIS IRISH PRINCESS!!
