Okay, this is gonna be a really big post, so here goes.
First, I've gotta apologise to everyone. The party was a bad idea in the first place. And yes, technically I know it wasn't me who wrecked the place and all that, but it was my fault for deciding to have a party with way too much alcohol. Especially with people like Pech and David and Doomrider and all that. So, I'm sorry. I'll be more careful with stuff next time. And I'm really sorry for all the newcomers who turned up. We're not normally like this, I promise.
I'm writing this from my PDA in Nelli's house. I've decided to just... crash there for a bit. Get away from everything for a while. And no, I didn't just bugger off and leave Erebus in the middle of a destroyed house. That would be awful. I stayed there and helped clean up the mess and fix what I could, but everything was just too much. So I'm here in Nelli's apartment, which is kind of cosy and something that smells good is cooking right now so it's a decent getaway.
I kind of scared her to death! I turned up with my suitcase all unnanounced and asked if I could stay for a bit because things had gotten out of hand, and she sat me down and made a cup of coffee and she talked to me about it. I joked about her talking all the time, but it turns out she's a really good listener too. She says her girlfriend has moods like that too so she knows how to deal with moody people. She asked if Erebus had done something but I told her straight away he never would, and I'm not sure if she's convinced but it's true. It's nothing to do with him.
I'm not sure how long I'll be here for. Until I get my shit together, I guess. I've stopped buying any alcohol for myself, and when I go out I try to keep it to two or three drinks, but I don't go out as much because I just don't feel like it. I don't trust myself anymore.
Erebus, I'm sorry. I've been an awful wife. I've just done whatever I wanted and gotten drunk and done stupid things and cried about it like a little girl, and I never once asked about how you felt or what you wanted to do and all I do is make problems for other people and
I'm sorry
I still love you
i'm gonna finish here
So that was why there was so much frenzied tension coming from over there..and panic...and...
ReplyDelete...Oh, don't mind me. I'm just.. "talking out of my ass", as some of my friends say. Sorry I couldn't make it. And I sincerely hope things get better soon.
Hope things get better for you soon, Jonesy.
ReplyDeleteMe? I just hope I can find the latch to this bloody Lin Kuei Cyborg costume. Cyrax will kill me if he finds it gone D:
Well, it was certainly an... experience... meeting Widow's friends.
ReplyDeleteI'm still finding bits of silly string in my hair. You all know how to enjoy yourselves, I suppose... even it does descend into complete anarchic hedonist debauchery.
Yeah, sorry about that. Should've given a little more background. I'm just glad Sarah passed out face-first in the third cake before she could see her cards. For once I'm glad she got drunk.
DeleteIt's not a good idea to play strip poker if the only thing keeping your underwear from sight is a one-piece robe.
...I'm suddenly glad I couldn't make it.
DeleteBetter off than big bro. Near the end of the night he got so hammered he ended up taking off his damn chassis thanks to a game of strip poker. Spent the last few minutes of the party pretty much in the buff.
DeleteGod, I swear, if I find out who spiked the damn chocolate fountain . . .
It was certainly an interesting party. I'll admit.... carrying some of my guns into a party with a lot of alcohol wasn't a good idea... especially when someone decided it would be a good idea to see how my RPG launcher worked.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll be glad to know that repairs on the house are going smoothly. Well, as smoothly as they CAN go at least.
ReplyDeleteCall me crazy, but helping rebuild this place brings back memories. Huh.
And before I forget, best of luck with everything. Hope you feel better soon, and if you need to talk I can lend an ear.
DeleteYou and I need to have a talk, bodyguard to bodyguard-ed.
ReplyDeleteListen. I haven't seen you much yet, but from what I have seen, you seem like you love your husband very much. How exactly are you a terrible wife?
ReplyDeleteApart from acting like a fame-struck idiot and doing a bunch of attention-seeking stunts without asking him how he felt or what he wanted to do?
DeleteNot much.
Mrs. Svilzerian, do you really think I would have so willfully joined you and your husband in holy matrimony if I believed you to so easily become what you describe? You two have had nothing but a positive effect on the other, fortifying strength with strength. It has been a joy to watch you two continue to grow through this new bond, and that is all this is. Further growth as you realise and tear off another layer of weakness in beautiful metamorphosis.
ReplyDeleteI hope that wasn't too bold of me.
Regardless, should you find that drink is the demon vexxing you, a colleague of mine will be staying at the Church for the next two months as he attempts to get an Alchoholics Anonomous program going in the community. He's a bit young and considered highly unorthodox, but I highly reccomend him.
I mean if you would permit me to do so. I do not mean to overstep any bounds.
I have to say, he has a point. You and Erebus have been nothing but great for each other. I've known this ever since I helped hook you guys up on that first place. Do you really think a few bad decisions could spell the end for something so good? I highly doubt it.
DeleteAmanda, you're a marine. You know as well as anyone that when the going gets tough the tough get going. Don't let life get you down, but keep on fighting it. Life gives you lemons, punch it in the face and ask for strawberries. Bad things happen, but only the strongest can power through it all.
And you and Erebus are two of the strongest people I know.
That
DeleteThat helps a lot, father. Thank you so much for your kind words.
I'll see if I can go get in touch with this colleague of yours. I think I need all the help I can.
So sorry for all the trouble I caused, Jonesy. Being high on infinity mixed with 100% shitfaced-ness and a hole through my skull obviously doesn't mix well. If you want compensation for the whole "bursting into flames and lighting your bathroom on fire" thing, I'd be happy to pay up.
ReplyDeleteChet's informing me that I participated in strip poker. I'm incapable of playing poker, so I'm guessing that's why I woke up in the nude. You're welcome, whoever got to see that.
You goddamn bastards have a huge party filled with debauchery and violence, and you don't even have to courtesy to throw the bloody thing within visual distance of moi.
ReplyDeleteFuck all y'all gits
