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'.]

Really I just want to take her out on a perfectly innocent date. I mean, I can't really know what my intentions are more generally until we know each other better. But I like her a lot and I'd never do anything to hurt her.

As far as my goals for the future, world domination I plan to get PhD in theoretical physics, I guess.

Theoretical physics? I do hope that you'd intend on doing something with such knowledge rather than sitting back and teaching... In other words, would you call yourself an ambitious man, Billy?

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

Well, I was considering engineering instead...but either way I'd do more than just teach. I am pretty ambitious.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Ambition can be a positive trait...

Very well. But as you said, just for frozen yogurt, and have her back untouched before dinner. I expect you to be a perfect gentleman to my daughter on this date, agreed?

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

Absolutely, I promise. On both counts.
