((The soft, muffled shuffling of blankets and bedclothes...a small muttering groan, someone not wanting to get up.))

Why is it morning already...?
All right...

((Fumble, shuffle.))

I remember yesterday only vaguely, like one remembers a dream, or a drunken night out. I thought I was a sultan, living in a palace hung with silk... There were holy men and mad men, flying carpets, genii in lamps, adventurers, dancing girls, the ladies of the court--my court--all around me, all colour, and light, and fire...

But I--((a sigh))--realise now there are more than a few to whom I owe apologies, or perhaps explanations.

To put it simply, you have my sincerest apologies for the...madness the curse brought over me. It was a curse and nothing more. I am terribly sorry.

There's nothing else I can say about it.

((Another groan.))

And I shan't be going out today, that much is certain.

Riff? Riff, where are you?

I had a mother--for one day, I had a mother who loved me, who held me with her white hands--

[ooc: Aaaaaaaaaaand sultan no more. Having crashed, now with a curse "hangover," extremely embarrassed, he's woken up in his own bed, and, luckily (?) alone. Be nice? ...or, not, that's okay too. Strikeouts are thoughts--you can't hear them.

A huge, huge, huge thank you to everyone who played along with the harem theme yesterday. I hope you had fun. I know I did. I was so glad to revisit this scenario with Cain--the lulz are immense. I hope you had twice as much fun as I did. Thank you all so much! I am now about as tired as Cain |D;;]

My lord? Are you all right?

1/2

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

No, not entirely. Between exhaustion and embarrassment, I'm not feeling well at all.

Riff--

Was I a good king?
Was I any good at all?

[mybffcheesekun.livejournal.com]

There's nothing to apologize for. It was a curse.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

While it was a curse, I still feel obliged to apologise for any embarrassment for which I may have been responsible.

[objectedly.livejournal.com]

All this sand...

I do hope you will be better, Lord Cain. That was... rather embarrassing.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Mr Edgeworth. I will, after some rest. I've endured that curse before, and it's particularly draining.

Anyone who blames you for the actions of a curse hasn't been here very long.

You were perfect, Cain.

[ourdenouement.livejournal.com]

Had fun, Earl?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Of a sort, I suppose. I'm exhausted from it all now.

[the-bastard-ds.livejournal.com]

... Sorry.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

My apologies likewise. Are you reunited with her now?

[browning-baby.livejournal.com]

No problem. It was just a curse.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

It was just a curse, but it was such an involved curse. Regardless, I'm glad you're not upset here, on the day after.

[anti-bereznoff.livejournal.com]

...did you do anything to them?

The ladies, I mean.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I stared perhaps too long and too intensely, I flattered them badly, I had them sit beside me and around me, and I touched their hands, but nothing more.

[monochrome-mind.livejournal.com]

It seems like you've regained your senses, Mr. Hargreaves. The apology is accepted, even though you did no harm to me.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I have, at last, though I almost wish I hadn't.

Well, I'm glad I did no harm to you, though you're one of the few to whom I don't owe specific apologies.

There's nothing to apologize for. On the contrary, I thought you treated everyone - including those of your court - with respect and dignity, which is often more than one expects, considering that it was just a curse and there would have been little stopping you from being a complete tyrant.

In all, I think you would have made an excellent sultan.

I didn't see :D No harm, no foul!

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

All the same, I behaved fairly ridiculously, and I am sorry for any embarrassment that it caused. I'm glad I didn't end up a tyrant, though. I said more than once that I only wanted was what best for my country. I suppose I truly meant that.

Thank you. You're very kind.

[metousiosis.livejournal.com]

Such a lifestyle will catch up with you.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

So I noticed this morning. So you understand my reasoning behind giving it up.

Hi Cain! Yumi leers suspiciously.

[too-ugly.livejournal.com]

...

Do I know you?

Hi Yumi! You get an equally suspicious leer back

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I'm not certain. Do I know you? You seem somehow familiar.

[shanghai-lotis.livejournal.com]

Enjoy my act, my Lord Sultan?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Please, don't call me that today, miss. I'm hardly sultan anymore. But what do you mean 'act'?

[reginagloriae]

...I-It's fine. It was a curse.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

It was, but I'm still glad there are no hard feelings about it all.
