The new president of my record company decided that my image was too "rock" and instead of the few days of meetings about the next Whitehall tour, I was locked up somewhere in the Midwest of America in an attempt to rehabilitate me of my love for drinking, sex and music that is actually written by the people performing it.

I should have them arrested for kidnapping and torture, I should sue them for wrongful imprisonment and emotional stress and I should be finding a new bloody label.

I will do exactly those things as soon as I am calm enough to not be considering more drastic reprisals.

To my friends and family, I greatly apologize to you all for having disappeared, but now you know why. I am deeply sorry for any distress or disappointment this might have caused, so please do not hesitate to let me know what I might do to begin to make it up to you. I realise that some of you might doubt this tale, but I assure you it is absolutely true.

Gabriella, sweetheart, I am so very sorry. They confiscated my cell phone and laptop and I was only just dropped off at the condominium not ten minutes ago, and I was bound and blindfolded for the entire trip. Whatever I might do or say to help convince you to begin to forgive me, let me know and it will be done.

	Damn, I knew rehab was difficult, but don't they usually allow monitored phone calls or letters? Our calls and emails were censored on the base, but it was better than nothing. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No, this particular institution was really quite insistent on depriving me of almost every dignity, let alone convenience. Their methods were distressingly thorough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I see Brandon already explained the situation..as he has more of a right to. ...I should tell you stories of basic training: no dignity, no privacy, and you start dreaming of aspirin and fatty foods. Wait a sec, too much 'rock', that's your job though. What do they except from a rock musician? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	good_to_be_king 2010-01-26 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, please let me know if I can help. Apparently it is possible to be quite popular with their new target demographic (I believe that's the term they used) and be less "edgy". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's mostly mental, physical therapy I can handle, but the mental battles are the most tiring-and aside from emotional support there's not much anyone but myself could do about it. I'll agree that it's a good idea to ease up on all of that, I just don't agree with the whole kidnapping thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	good_to_be_king 2010-01-26 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Wait... what? Blindfolded? Henry, don't lie to me please. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I do not have the imagination for a lie like this, sweetheart. When you're back you can see the hood and bruises yourself, and I should hope the building's security cameras caught something of my delivery. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Henry music_in_me 2010-01-26 05:56 am UTC (link)
	Seriously? Are you okay? You're not hurt, I mean, right? So, they tried to, to what? Rehab for drugs or drinking, fine. But... sex? Rehab for sex with me, or with those... um. You know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Only my pride, for the most part, though a few liberties were taken trying to "cleanse my system" than I'd like. Oh, they were quite fond of our relationship. It was my reputation outside of it that they were concerned with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Henry music_in_me 2010-01-26 06:24 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry. I could help, if you want? So, that's good, right? I mean, even if they did stuff to you that you didn't like, they liked us ~~and me~~ and things are still okay. Right? I love you. I missed you. I just want you to be with me, Henry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gabriella good_to_be_king 2010-01-26 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	I am in dire need of relaxing and good company, a glass of wine and good food. A night in would be heaven. Yes, I was glad that they did not try to persuade me to break us up. I missed you desperately. And I am. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I could try and cook one of Mama's recipes if you get some wine? And you love me, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gabriella good_to_be_king 2010-01-26 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds fantastic. I love you absolutely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Henry music_in_me 2010-01-26 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	And I love you. See you soon. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	There is no such thing as too much rock! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	good_to_be_king 2010-01-26 05:50 am UTC (link)
	That was my argument. And, I am confident, the reason I withstood their attempts to "rehabilitate" me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Psh. Stupid non-rockin' idiots. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I couldn't agree more. By the by, have we met? Henry Tudor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	delbchaem 2010-01-26 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	I thought you looked rather familiar. Haven't seen you in a few centuries. At least from a distance. I'm Delbchaem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	good_to_be_king 2010-01-26 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	Delighted. The name does sound familiar, but I'm not placing you, I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Few have been allowed to see my physical form before, but if you know your Celtic mythology, particularly about magick and fertility... well there I am! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How very fascinating. Very glad to make your acquaintance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am fascinating, aren't I? So glad to make yours as well! (Reply to this) (Parent)

What the fuck are you talking about? Rehab? Anthony and I were worried sick, the managers wouldn't return any phone calls, Jane...

You, Harry, have much to apologize for to Katherine, as I discovered this past Halloween, but I'll be forgiving because your little Gabriella wishes everyone to get along.

I'm with Jane, and we've been trying to help Sonya out. As soon as you can, call up Anthony and myself so we can fix this. They are not breaking up our band.

Apparently, the new people holding the purse-strings of our record company are interested in a more wholesome, family-friendly and less threatening image for its stable of artists. Frankly, we should start our own bloody label.

My Gabriella has a point. I have always seen little point in allowing our old... baggage to have sway over our new lives. Look at what Anna and your Jane have done.

	Sounds like a grand idea. We've got the money for it; we just need a new manager. Hmm. Yes. Well. As I said, call when things have settled a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	half_jaded 2010-01-26 02:44 pm UTC (link)
	Darlings, might I suggest someone in your very own family? Henry, darling, it's good to see you have returned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doesnt_think 2010-01-26 03:47 pm UTC (link)
	Who, Jane? Anna? ~~Katherine?~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	half_jaded 2010-01-26 03:48 pm UTC (link)
	Edward, darling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	doesnt_think 2010-01-26 03:52 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds like a good idea. I'd rather keep it in the family, anyway. You think he would want to be part of it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	half_jaded 2010-01-26 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	Only one way to find out, darling. Ask him, but considering it's what he already does and it would mean time with family... I don't see why not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	good_to_be_king 2010-01-26 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	I can't think of a better selection. Thank you. And thank you, I am very glad to be out of there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	half_jaded 2010-01-26 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	Of course, darling. Oh I'm sure. I do hope you fire them post haste for such insanity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	good_to_be_king 2010-01-26 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	I have my lawyer-- who thankfully is retained on my expense, not theirs-- drafting the necessary papers now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good. If you ever need assistance, please do let me know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	good_to_be_king 2010-01-26 07:28 pm UTC (link)
	Definitely. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	german_queen 2010-01-26 06:10 am UTC (link)
	I was worried when you hadn't called or emailed during the Christmas season. While I do agree that you could do 'ease up' on those habits, my concern is for your health and not 'image'. ...I'm glad you're alright. ~~even if 'alright' is relative~~ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	good_to_be_king 2010-01-26 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	Again, my apologies. If I could have sent word, I swear I would have. And I appreciate your concern. (Reply to this) (Parent)
