((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;;]

It is borrowed time in which we are living here, isn't it?

I hope you are well, sir, after all the ordeals yesterday.

I didn't drink to excess, my sultan. ♥

[identity profile] misterblackbird.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Nor did I, though I feel a bit like I did.

And the curse is over, so there's no need for you to call me that.

Your Lordship seems... touchy with formalities.

If I'm not a sultan, then there's no need for you to refer to me as one. I hardly call that 'touchy'.

And if I am not a sir, there is no need in referring to me as one.

Cigarette?

[identity profile] misterblackbird.livejournal.com 2008-07-13 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I shan't refer to you as such any longer.

Thank you, but no, I don't smoke.

I believe I will, thank you.
