((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;;]

But it raeped ur inbox!

It caused me no embarrassment, neither at the time nor retrospectively. Even if it had, I certainly wouldn't blame you.

You seem to be an interesting person, yourself. It's sort of a shame that we don't talk more.

I has gmail. It just keeps stacking it on up!

I'm very glad to hear that. You know the story you told was very good. I did enjoy that.

As do you, sir. I agree, it is a shame, though perhaps we'll speak more now that we've endured this curse together.

I has slow connection, so even with gmail deletions/reposts annoy me. >.> But they're necessary.

Thank you; I'm glad you liked it.

I hope so.

Ah- I forgot to ask. What's your name?

[identity profile] misterblackbird.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I did, very much.

Cain Hargreaves. I know I was calling you 'cherry blossom' yesterday, but what would you prefer me to call you?

[identity profile] i-themagician.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
My name is Clow Reed; you may call me by my first name if I may call you by yours.

[identity profile] misterblackbird.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I've gotten used to that kind of informality in this place. Yes, certainly, Clow. Please, call me Cain. It's very good to meet you.
