It's Too Late to Apologize

The Apology Meme



You've done something incredibly stupid. Maybe you've said the wrong thing. Maybe you broke something that wasn't yours. Or, maybe you broke a promise. Whatever the reason, you have to find a way to apologize to the person you hurt.

Rules:

1. Post with your character name, fandom and preferences.
2. People reply to you using RNG (or not) to pick an option from both lists.
3. Roleplay the apology and decide if the person can ever be forgiven.
4. Have fun!

The Reasons

01. Caught Lying - Maybe you thought they wouldn't find out, or maybe you thought they wouldn't care. Whatever the reason, the other person is now mad at you.

02. Caught Cheating - You had an affair and you loved found out. Or, maybe you cheated on a test or game.

03. Heat of the Moment - The two of you were fighting and some hurtful things were said. Now it's time to make amends.

04. Broke Something - Whether it was on purpose or on accident, you broke something belonging to the other person.

05. Snooping - You were caught snooping in the other person's stuff, or maybe even their email or phone.

06. Gossip - The other person told you a huge secret, and you blabbed it to anyone who would listen.

07. Wildcard - Pick your own scenario!

The Apologies

01. Letter/email/text - It's kind of cheap, but it's a start, right?

02. Phone Call - Maybe calling them is a food first step.

03. Flowers - Have them delivered to them, or take them there yourself.

04. A Gift - It can as small, or as big as you'd like.

05. A Surprise Weekend Away - Maybe getting away will solve the problem.

06. Makeup Sex - Maybe it won't solve all your problems, but it's fun!

07. Wildcard - Whatever you'd like.

I would have thought the implication of maiming and torture was obvious!

[Such a jerk, sob.]

[ Wait, why should he care if this sadist gets his just desserts. ]

Must be quite a blow to that ego of yours to be on the other side of it. Regardless, I doubt apologizing to me will play such a role.

That would be an understatement, Quincy.

[He paused a moment to adjust his glasses.]

Now, as I've been lead to believe, part of getting out of Hell and readmitted to the cycle of life is to make amends with one's past grievances. As you are much easier to access than the shinigami, I started with you first.
repelling: (「ts-base」 without the bullshit)

[personal profile] repelling 2012-07-10 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Now back beside the door, leaning against that bit of wall from before. Arms crossed. ]

Why would I want you back in the cycle of life?
scienceshow: (Szayel * You son of a bitch...)

Ishida, if you saw Hell, you would not be asking that question.
repelling: (「ts-base」 if they think we'd listen)

repelling: (「ts」 come on and let it out)

[ Again pushing off the wall.

He turns the lock, pulling open the door. ]
repelling: (☸ ┈┈ should've took me out)

[personal profile] repelling 2012-07-10 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ But he doesn't step aside, instead moves forward, intense, glowering. ]

Understand this, Espada. By coming to me first, by laying the first step of your so-called redemption at my feet, you have given me the burden of you, in your entirety.

It may be a new life, but trust that if you commit atrocities once more, I will find you. Whether in this life, or the next.

[ ...aaaand now he steps back, aside, gesturing stiffly to the space behind him. ]

Please, come in.

[Szayel has no comment for the warning; in fact, his face remains passive, and he doesn't move until Ishida steps out of the way. He inclines his head respectfully, before stepping into the Quincy's apartment once again.]
repelling: (☸ ┈┈ don't get my sympathy)

[personal profile] repelling 2012-07-10 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ He then shuts the door, but doesn't lock it.

How surreal: standing standing side by side with the Octava Espada, in his cramped, yet orderly apartment. Still tense, still on guard. But, he moves to the tiny kitchen area to start tea. ]


You've already apologized. How, exactly, do you think you'll be so persuasive as to convince me to accept it, now that you're inside?
scienceshow: (Szayel * Cotton Candy Boogieman.)

[personal profile] scienceshow 2012-07-10 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
To be honest, I'm not quite sure.

[Szayel shuffled inside enough to stand just outside of the kitchen area, standing back to observe Ishida.]

I fully acknowledge the fact that a simple apology would be, essentially, meaningless to you, but I'm not exactly versed in such tasks to know what would be effective.

repelling: (「ts」 nothing touches me now)

his face looks so apologetic too slfkmsd

[personal profile] repelling 2012-07-10 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Water into pot, pot onto burner. His eyes linger on it, on the red beginning beneath it, before he looks up at the Espada. ]

To begin with, the words alone are meaningless. But, more importantly, as far as I'm concerned, you don't owe me an apology. The idea is not a little absurd. You were an obstacle, and a very frustrating one at that, but it was also, in essence, a war. We were invading your land. Your methods were excessive and grotesque, but you were defeated before you could do any experimenting.

So... [ Nudging up his glasses. ]

Mala suerte, Octava. I neither want nor need your apology, and even if I was so inclined, I'd never believe you sincere. Either way, it isn't me to whom you should be apologizing.
scienceshow: (Oh by the way...)

LMAO

[personal profile] scienceshow 2012-07-10 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Szayel raised a curious eyebrow at that last part and stop sounding cute when you speak Spanish, Ishida.]

And to whom precisely should I be apologizing too?

Quincy, I crushed your stomach, threatening to turn you into a lab rat... and admittedly would have used you for other activities once I was done. How does that not warrant an apology?
repelling: (「ts-base」 . . .)

[personal profile] repelling 2012-07-10 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...other activities... ]
repelling: (「ts-base」 don't bore us)

GO TO BED

[ Not going to speculate, not a bit. ]

Yes, and the cuarto espada tore off my arm. [ And if he hasn't been outright slaughtering hollows, he's handicapped and disgraced one Shinigami, and one Arrancar- in the process completely dooming her. ]

Neither of which I liked, but one shouldn't expect the enemy to go easy on him. Just how naive do you think I am? At fault was my weakness for being caught by your ability.

As for to whom you owe apologies, I think you would know better. Every test subject, of course. Such as the Thunderwitch. The problem being that they aren't in any position to receive them. Perhaps Inoue-san, too.

scienceshow: (Szayel * Excuse you?)

LOL I DID

[personal profile] scienceshow 2012-07-10 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Admit it, in that brief second you thought it was hot.]

[Szayel let out an exasperated noise; the Quincy's logic was sound of course, even if he wouldn't follow it himself. He personally wanted to rip that pineapple a new hole for destroying his lap, not to mention the horrible contemplations he's had about what he'd do to Mayuri if he had five seconds alone with him.]

[Still, what he was suggesting was ridiculous.]


Do you realize just how virtually impossible that is?
repelling: (☸ ┈┈ what is it that)

GOOD

[personal profile] repelling 2012-07-13 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ NO. ]

Obviously. Such are your transgressions. The people to whom you most owe reparation, can never be reached. Your goal may be futile.

[ Sounding pretty bored. He turns to take out two cups and saucers. ]
scienceshow: (Szayel * Bored by this.)

LMAO

[personal profile] scienceshow 2012-07-13 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't believe that. After spending the time I have in Hell, I believe that there is hope for anyone that seeks it.

[Rather optimistic coming from him, but spending so much time in Hell changed his outlook a little bit.]

I need to start where I can.
