Greetings,

I have done terrible and inexcusable things over the course of those past few months. Though I was corrupted through the power of the rift, I take full responsibility for those things I did. The rift did not create anything: it only exploited what was already there within my heart. It is entirely my fault for having allowed emotions and feelings that could later be exploited to fester within my heart.

I have been allowed to stay and continue helping in the efforts to help this world, and I intend to do my utmost to prove myself an ally of humanity. I do not expect anyone to forgive me and I understand if you are afraid of me or would rather never see me again: I shall do my utmost to be invisible to you. However, I shall not relent from helping LILITH as my love for humanity is unwavering and has never changed.

Most importantly, please do not hold any grudge towards others who have been corrupted. If you find yourself having negative thoughts towards them, such thoughts are misplaced. They are kind souls who sought to help me, and suffered as a result of it. They are amongst the most beautiful souls I have ever encountered and they in no way deserve to be treated poorly. Note this statement only partially apply to Silco. Though you should bear no grudge towards him for what transpired last month, I do not consider him to be a kind and beautiful soul.

Furthermore, I would like to put an end to some strange rumors that reached my ears. It is said I took people in relationship to assist me when I was corrupted. Well, just about every of the people I consider close to my heart are in relationships. It would have been more surprising had one of the seven guardians been someone not in a relationship. The pattern some of you may have observed is as such, not a pattern at all.

Lastly, I would like to issue a warning about those rifts. Please avoid them at all costs. Though I dare not presume your heart bears the seeds that could lead to an apocalyptic outcome, it is evident the potential for evil exists within us all. Rifts should be avoided entirely until we understand them better.


I am sorry for everything.

-- Ereshkigal

Have you apologised to the people that you took personally, or is this it?

[queenofkur]

I have to most of them.

I have been unable to see Tsurumaru and Bakugou yet but I intend to once I find them.

[Raidou had intended to to stop by and speak with Eresh, since they hadn't really talked other than that brief, awkward meeting with her and Yuji in the med bay for about 20 seconds. Turns out she kind of helped, in a weird way. He's been pretty concerned about all of those taken by the rift, too, trying to check in on them all.

However, when he reaches the part of the "rumor", he does feel a bit guilty. When presenting his theory of who was disappearing to the network, he tried to keep that details of the memory he'd seen quiet. The only person he'd admitted it to there was Yuta, but of course, anyone would have been able to read it. Whoops.

He had planned to stop by and check on her, with a gift in tow. Instead, it will be dropped of by drone at her door. It's a small pot of orange and yellow gerber daises - not cut flowers but live ones in soil. Grown in his garden in Okinawa, there aren't many flowers in it yet, but he'd thought she'd like to have some. A card states who they're from, but there is no message.]

[queenofkur]

[ When she manages to read the name on the card (it takes some time with those eyes of hers), she sends a text message over to him. ]

Thank you.
It means a lot.

@curse

[gimu]

you’re not allowed to be comfortably invisible.
work hard amongst everyone, ereshkigal.

[queenofkur]

My apologies if it sounded as though I wish to be comfortably invisible.
Working hard is what I have done every day since I was summoned here,
And this is what I intend to keep on doing.

@ soba

[gorb]

If you have room to be petty about someone else then that makes your apology instantly lack sincerity, little goddess. 7/10 for the performance though, I suppose some people might be fooled by it.

[queenofkur]

Silco is a detestable human being. I did not wish to accidentally praise him.

I intend to apologize through my actions as well rather than only with words.

not here

[zauneyete]

[ YEAH THAT'S HIS EVIL BESTIE!!!! ]

[misclassed]

[ how strange. he hadn't expected to hear from ereshkigal, personally. the ordeal had been one borne through the emotions and reactions of others, more than the impact on himself.

but it brings up a question, now, that he'd been thinking on since the corruption faded away on both him and their comrades. ]

And you're sure that corruption wasn't you?

[queenofkur]

The source was external,
But it built upon things that are already inside me.
There is no doubt this is something I could become naturally over time.

where r u rn

[queenofkur]

[ Fifteen minutes. That's the time it takes Ereshkigal to decipher what "r u rn" means using the power of the internet. But once she does, she finally replies. ]

I
I am in my quarters.

( text | un: fishbones )

[powderkegs]

[ welp. that killed any goodwill she had. and to think jinx gave her a pass. ]

Wooooow.

Not gonna lie, you had us in the first half! Too bad you suck at being a genuine person.

[queenofkur]

If you too take issue at my mention of Silco;
I am sorry for what I did to him.
I am not sorry for making it clear he is not one of the souls I cherish.

If this invalidates my apology in your eyes,
So be it.

@BANKERBOY

[tokakujuho]

Kindly stop abusing the network to harass everyone with your nonsense. You've shown us all what you are, enforced existing opinions even more so with this version of an apology. You have your circle of friends who can comfort and coddle you.

Leave the rest of us in peace, won't you?

[queenofkur]

[ Are there truly so many people who like Silco? Humanity is a mystery sometimes. ]

I understand.
I shall no longer share my messages with you.

@Bootyyyshaker9000

[soft_shelled]

This is a pretty shitty apology, you know that?

[He doesn't give two shits about Silco, but really, even with how bad he is at apologizing? He knows you don't just shit talk someone when you want sympathy or forgiveness.]

[queenofkur]

Yes.
I'm sorry I mentioned I do not appreciate this murderer.
Everything else I wrote means nothing any more.
I got the message.

@Neon Leon - here have a silly thread

[makesascene]

girl, we gotta get you a PR person. This apology needs some work!! Next you're gonna whip out a ukele and sing at me about how sucky that one guy is (sicko??? idk).

Thanks for the message, no idea what your deal even is. Glad you're aight now.

[queenofkur]

I realize talking about Silco was a mistake.
But everything I said was genuine.
I am sorry for everything I did.

@lastsamurai

[rebelsamurai]

All this dumbass drama over nothin'. [Here comes Johnny with some useless or maybe useful words of advice. Brace yourself.]

You wasn't yourself, right? The rift corrupted you and all, so why fuckin' apologize?

You're an ally who just had a really shitty day. That's common around here in our line of work. As for that Silco guy, it's whatever. But I doubt that ugly bastard has a kind or beautiful soul. He looks kinda shady.

The only guy I'm worried about is good old Gojira. The rest can go fuck themselves.

[queenofkur]

I thank you for your kind words.
While what you say is true,
It is also true there is ugliness nested in my heart.
Perhaps were I a better goddess,
I could have resisted and none of this would have happened.
So I believe my apologies to be not only warranted but necessary.

And I see you speak of dear Godzilla.
Are you a friend of his?
His is a most noble and valiant soul.
I am most fortunate to count him as a friend.

@MONSTER

[copy]

hello, ereshkigal-san.
i was corrupted too, so i understand.
i would say "you don't have to apologize to me" or "it's okay" but that's what people have been telling me and it doesn't really feel right.
i still feel responsible for my actions too.
so maybe then it's better to say: apology accepted.
does that help?

for what it's worth, i'm really sorry as well.

[ For not holding back during the battle. His corruption might not have mattered much there when holding back against a goddess would have seemed unwise even in his right state of mind. ]

[queenofkur]

I
It does
Thank you kindly.

But I must admit to being confused,
Why would you apologize to me?
You have wronged me in no way.

[sanguivorous]

We haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet, but it's good to see you back and in your right mind just so Taryon will stop fussing over it.

["Fussing" over a friend's disappearance is maybe not the best way to put it, but.

[queenofkur]

Are you Astarion?!

@Archer

[21towin]

So, are you up for that date now?

[queenofkur]

ABSOLUTELY NOT

How dare you make such a suggestion!!
