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.

They had it coming.

Sorry if I'm too hard on you. I just think so highly of you.

I know I messed up your meal. I'm just a novice cook, after all, but I know you put a lot of work into what you make. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry! I thought the door was closed!

[ 'They had it coming,' is what Nishiki says.

'Only the strong deserve to live,' is what his brother would say. He'd drag the arrow back out of the (failed, weak) dead person's throat with a sticky, thick noise that Okuyasu didn't really know the anatomy of but figured was caused by the rough, ribbed part of their esophagus that he could feel on the front of his own neck. Sometimes at night he'd hold his own throat and wonder why that, of all things, had barely left a scar on him. Everything else liked to mar his skin.

'They had it coming.' Okuyasu's not often still, but he is right now. He's staring at the bodies - two of them, limp, at weird angles. Looks like a struggle, he thinks with a wild certainty that comes less from watching crime shows on tv and more from direct experience with what someone fighting back but losing looks like.

His chest feels sorta tight, and when he breathes it's almost like an arrow's blocking the air. ] Y-yeah? Did they-- were they tryin' to kill you first?

[ He probably shouldn't lead the witness with his questioning here, but Okuyasu can't take his eyes off the bodies and he definitely can't think far enough ahead to plan a single thing. ]

1. I'm sorry I said that was a stupid idea. I still think it's a stupid idea but I'm sorry I was the who said it.

2. I'm sorry, I'm not that kind of super hero. Or any kind of hero really.

3. Remember when I stole a lab coat and told everyone I was a doctor and almost operated on that girl? I'm not going to say there was anyone there more qualified to do it than me but. Sorry about all that.

4. I'm sorry I fell asleep at the wheel again but I don't think you're going to reinstate my driving privileges, are you?

[manipulatestime]

So what kind of superhero are you?

[horticulturalist]

I'm not. At all. We just get sort of. Lumped into that group by virtue of being weird.

[manipulatestime]

Yeah? How weird?

[horticulturalist]

Well, Jane's made up of sixty-four different people, Cliff's a brain in a robot suit and Rita is... I think the politically correct term is shapeshifter.

bucky barnes, mcu.

[freights]

You'd have done the same goddamned thing.

[manipulatestime]

Doesn't sound that weird, though my experiences lend to me being more open minded than most.

What's your deal?

[horticulturalist]

Yeah, well. Metabolizing the earth's yellow sun like steroids doesn't sound so out there to me either, but not everyone has roommates like mine.

I'm the radioactive host body for an inter-dimensional alien.

Number Five | The Umbrella Academy [Netflix]

[manipulatestime]

Sorry? What do I have to be sorry for?

[manipulatestime]

Roommates? Try family.

Ah, inter-dimensional. Haven't tried that yet. How's that working out for you?

[horticulturalist]

Oh. We're all mostly here because there is no family. Which I guess makes us a sort of family. In a... Dickensian kind of way.

Uhm. Not great.
I guess I'm in pretty good shape for a ninety-five year old. But it's been a bit of a bumpy ride.

Dennis MacGyver | Murdoc AU | MacGyver

[dennis_murdoc]

I don't even know where to begin.

[manipulatestime]

We're not the norm, either.

You seem spry. Could do worse for ninety-five.

tachibana tetsu | yakuza 0

[irongrip]

I'm sorry for never...Never reciprocating in full.

[horticulturalist]

Yeah? I don't know a lot of "super-families"... Would I have heard of you?

Yeah, not sure why, but I seem to be holding up pretty well.
Though I can't help but think, being well built would be more charming if I still had skin.

[manipulatestime]

No idea. We were the Umbrella Academy.

Well built is overrated. Skin, however, is not. Sucks.

[horticulturalist]

Oh. That rings a bell. I guess we're Niles Caulder's little pet projects. Jane calls us Doom Patrol, but I don't think Rita likes it. Also we don't exactly patrol anything so... she was probably just being ironic. What does the Umbrella Academy do? Teach?

It's an important organ if you want to have a social life.

[manipulatestime]

Apparently it teaches you how to become an underdeveloped manchild - or womanchild in the case of my sisters - with the emotional capacity of a two year old. I left when I was thirteen.

Social lives are overrated.

[horticulturalist]

Oh. I hope tuition isn't excessive. I feel like you could learn that on your own.

Was that... a while ago? You still look like you're thirteen.

I guess. If you have somewhere more important to be.

[manipulatestime]

My dad ran it. We paid by being good little experiments.

I'm fifty-eight.

[Sigh.]

[horticulturalist]

What is it with old eccentrics and human experiments? Someone should study that.

There it is. I thought you seemed a little... articulate? For a teenager.

Nile Freeman | The Old Guard

[babyguard]

I'm sorry I almost left.
