No. 31 [video] locked from the Major and the Joker
[even though he sat for a very long time fidgeting with the comm, turning it around in his hands, before hitting 'record,' Alastair sits there and stares for another long moment before speaking]
So. Um. Stuff happened...and I guess...I kinda owe a few people an apology.
[he looks away for a second, and then back. That's too hard we're going to try a different subject]
I don't know how to explain it. I've spent the last week thinking about it and...I don't know. I guess when the Porter blinked me home for like five minutes Thanksgiving weekend, it changed my powers. Now I've got...I've got this thing that should be dead and gone but it isn't and I don't know how to keep it from coming out again.
I don't want to hurt people. I mean it. But I don't know how to control it. Or why I have this power again. Even if it means I can protect myself and my family now. Don't...I hope no one else messes with us because if I get pushed, that's what happens.
All I can say is...I wasn't in my right mind. The...the Oricalchos possesses me. It's inside me again and I can't stop it. But I'm still. [loooong pause] Sorry. To the souls I took. And the people that had a problem with that. Bruno...uh. Thanks, for being so understanding. You've been a real help, I mean it.
I'm gonna try to keep it from happening again. But I can't really make promises I don't know if I can keep. Because I've got a real good track record of keeping my promises... [his face twitches as he tries to hold back emotion] ...right, Kaiba?
