Is it even possible to apologize for something you did when you, in all technicalities, weren't quite yourself? Can one be held accountable for that sort of behavior? I suppose I ought to start it off in a desire to retract the previous weekend from everyone's memory. Particularly the wig and general elitist behavior. The clothes I am on the fence

Comments

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, I think we'd all appreciate it if that particular curse was never spoken of again.

[shifts]

You can't tell me you didn't have a bit of fun with it.

[totallyinaband]

I was a servant. I didn't even get any of the champagne.

[shifts]

Not even here and there?

[totallyinaband]

[Well, maybe a little. But certainly not in any context Stephen is about to share with the group...]

Everyone else got the weekend off to play dress-up and get wasted. I had to work. And 18th century France didn't have any laws about over-time.

[shifts]

I'm sure we all appreciated you, though.

[totallyinaband]

I don't remember seeing you at the ball. What were you up to?

[shifts]

Behind the scenes, for the most part. Socializing here and there. Exploring a bit of the palace itself.

[totallyinaband]

Smart move. It went on way too fucking long.

[shifts]

Oh, it wasn't so bad.

[totallyinaband]

I thought you weren't there.

[shifts]

I said I was behind the scenes, not that I wasn't there. A bit of a difference, I think.

[totallyinaband]

It must have been a lot better from 'behind the scenes', then.

[shifts]

At least more relevant to my interests at the time.

[totallyinaband]

Which were?
