I suppose I should preface this by saying that I don't remember the specifics of any conversations I had, the last time I posted to the Network. If I did, I would be saying this personally to each individual I spoke to, but... well, I can only hope that anyone I did speak to will understand.

What I can say is that I am sincerely sorry to anyone I said anything at all rude or inappropriate to. I realize that I wasn't in control of my actions at the time, but I don't think that serves as adequate justification to simply not acknowledge that it happened. So if I said anything to you while under the influence of that... being, then I apologize.

[private to House]

We should go out... take advantage of the apparent lack of apocalyptic situations. I won't even push for karaoke.

What happens in curses... or the equivalents thereof, stays in curses. We've all done awful stuff here, without meaning to.

Oh, I know, I just... didn't want to leave it completely unaddressed. Whether it was voluntary or not, if I said anything that upset anyone, I'd want to apologize for it.

...Okay, point. The whole 'so I'm sorry I creeped on/hit/hit on/was awful to' post-curse apology is City tradition.

Are you doing okay?

I think it's a nice tradition. Even if we didn't have any malicious intent, it doesn't make the feelings our actions may have caused any less valid.

Yeah, I'm alright. What about you; I hope July wasn't too awful for you?

Blame is gross. Apologizing anyway, less so.

...Well, my birthday was taken up by dinosaurs and I turned into an evil vampire for a weekend. But other than that, it was pretty low drama and non-sucky.

You know, I have to say I find it slightly disturbing when those are the characteristics of a "non-sucky" month.

Happy belated birthday, though - even if it sounds like you deserve a slightly better celebration.

For someone from Sunnydale, that's... an eventful vacation.

Thanks, Dr. Wilson. And no, my birthdays are always sucky. I'm used to it, it's kind of a Summers thing. If there was lighthearted fun and... I don't know, cake and no death or badness, the world might end for real.

I really ought to thank the City, I suppose. New Jersey seems more idyllic every day.

Well, seeing as it's not technically your birthday, I think the world would be safe if you had some cake with no death or badness now.

You're from one of those normal worlds, right? Which, ironically, makes you weird. Here, at least.

...This is a point. But unbirthday cake is never as good as birthday cake.

But, you know, it's still cake. So the difference is itty-bitty. Infinitesimal, even.

I certainly am. Our apocalypses are reserved strictly for star-studded summer blockbusters. I suppose it makes me rather ill-equipped for most of what happens here.

So the inherent goodness of cake is enough to make up for any theoretical cake's lack of timing?

The City is close enough to home to actually be kind of... not all that weird, sometimes. I mean, weird is my baseline. This is just new and different weird.

As long as it's not fruit cake. Fruit cake actually has negative goodness.

Well, while I can't say I envy you the weird baseline, even if it does seem like something of an advantage, here.

Though at least fruit cake is apparently the same across any reality.

What's life without an apocalypse every second Tuesday?

It's evil. I don't get it.

Considerably less stressful?

Clearly it exists solely to balance out the universe. Just as you cannot have good without evil, you cannot have chocolate cake without fruitcake.

...Okay, true.

Suddenly, everything makes sense. My eyes are clear now!

But I still hate fruitcake.

I think that's acceptable, especially given the terms of the analogy. After all, you'd probably get some fairly odd looks if you said you liked evil.

You really aren't from Sunnydale. We have a close working relationship with a kind of scary amount of ex-murderers.

Well. Not to be overly judgmental, but... I would hope that the emphasis is on the ex- prefix in that statement.

Yes. I mean, usually.

...My life is weird. For the record. My babysitter for a while was a soulless vampire, so... viva la weird Sunnydale teamups.
