68th Devotion: Balancing Work with Family

[favoritetraitor]

Sweetheart, I'm afraid I had to run to the office for a little while. An emergency... if any of the family needs me, they can do so via the network.

Luke... I hope you liked your gift* and cooperated...

[Private to Marishka]
Please keep an eye on the girls. I caught Penny with a laundry basket full of ducklings last night.. (I did speak with her about this, so there's no need to mention it again). And Sun-Sun seems to be feeling a bit out of sorts. Perhaps you should talk to her...

Also, don't let Stork sleep all day. He needs to get out to apply for some jobs... or at the very least make himself useful around the house.

[ARTEMIS FILTER]
Mr. Xemnas... I'm afraid death is no longer a viable excuse to not show up to work. And while I'm perfectly willing to give you an extension in order to acclimate yourself to your new situation, I do expect you to at least contact me so we can discuss it.

On the rare chance that my second in command will be out for awhile or will not be regenerating as 'City Dead'... is there anyone in the Organization that would like to submit yourself as a possible replacement?

And does anyone know what he meant by: "Trinity was the breaker you sought for."? Those were his last words before he vanished...




*[ooc: A well intentioned father, Solomon hired Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin to go and give Luke a makeover. Mainly something more 'professional' like.. this. Solomon is still firmly entrenched in the 'Family Day curse'.]

An emergency...?

...

A work emergency. One of my employees... is having some difficulties.

[private]

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

Difficulties. So~... work for me?

[private]

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Oh, no... I'm sorry. I'm afraid it isn't anything of that nature. He just seems to have had an accident... resulting in probable death.

[der-freischuetz.livejournal.com]

Hm, if you say so. Do not hesitate to give me an assignment, though. That might be interesting!

And to satisfy my curiosity, you mentioned a gift to that... individual...? It sounds violent.

... what's the matter?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

My appearance does not require improvement.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

You don't like it...

Was it the suit? It was the suit, wasn't it?

But look. I kept the hair at a moderate length... well, for the business world, it's long...

This comment doesn't exist. Solomon showed her.

I'm taking Penny out for frozen yogurt later, if that's all right.

[ooc: cursing him even if it stretches the family definition because it's too amusing.]

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Taking my dear, sweet, innocent Penny 'out'?

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Out? Like a date, you know? Not 'out' like a mob boss takes someone out.

Dad, this is Billy. Billy, this is Dad.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Yes. We've met.

[Private to Penny]
Penny. I don't know if he's the sort of man I want dating my daughter...

[Private]

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

Hey, Pen, I know you said your Dad was protective but this...is a little more than I expected.

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

Not for too long. I'll have her back by dinner time.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Is this a 'date' then?

Forgive me, but I think death takes at least a few days to get used to. After regeneration, I mean.

I am sorry to hear about his passing, however.

ARTEMIS filter;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

... of course, it just took me by surprise.

It would be a great loss if he didn't come back...

ARTEMIS filter;

[i-themagician.livejournal.com]

Well, we'll know soon enough, won't we?

ARTEMIS filter;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

The sooner the better. Please let me know if you hear of anything...

But if he doesn't... do you have any recommendations as to who you think would be able to fill his shoes?

[voice, private]

[letxequalnull.livejournal.com]

I apologize for any inconvenience that I may have caused. I would have contacted you earlier, but the City seems to impose a price on those who have died within her walls.

[He sounds... more or less alright though, if a bit tired.]

[voice, private]

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Mr. Xemnas... Such a relief hearing from you after your apparent untimely demise... I was worried.

Please try not to do that again...

[voice, private]

[letxequalnull.livejournal.com]

It was not precisely my intention to do so in the first place.

[voice, private]

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

And just what exactly were you doing?
