favoritetraitor | 68th Devotion: Balancing Work with Family

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'.]

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.]

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

Please try not to do that again...

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

And just what exactly were you doing?

Seeking information, at the risk of my own life.

Oh? What information?

Had I succeeded in finding it, I would not have died.

Pity~. Are you feeling alright now? Or should I come over to check on your condition? I presume you are under the classification of City Dead now, correct?

That is correct, although it is not precisely a new classification in my case.

Why, Mr. Xemnas... I believe you mislead me on your application. I don't recall at all your mentioning that previously...

Speaking of which, I'm quite interested in hearing about 'Ansem'...

I did not believe it was overly important. City Death is similar enough to the natural state one such as I exists in.

He is... the 'other side'.

Indeed~?

And please, continue...

We are no longer quite what we once were. Not dead, though we should not be alive either.

He is the 'heart' of what has been removed from the equation.

Ah, yes. I understand...

A shadow's shadow, left behind when I first became what I am. Although I imagine he would tell you differently were he here in truth.

In truth... ~~Was he acting?~~ Well, I'm glad that things have been restored to... normal. At least for awhile...

As normal as things can ever be here.
