22nd Devotion: One Big Happy Family

[favoritetraitor]

Saya, Hagi, I just had a WONDERFUL idea!

Now hear me out, but I think we should invite Diva to live with us! I know, I know, there've been problems in the past, but Saya, she is your sister. And family is supposed to forgive and forget. To accept and support each other no matter what.

I think it's time you two kissed and made up.

It will be wonderful. Having us all living under one roof. We can have movie nights, and I'll make popcorn. Maybe we can have some friends over for cookouts....


Ah, I suppose I should discuss business though. All ARTEMIS employees, I'd like for you to take the day off with pay. Hm, on second thought... how about we all gather in a nearby park for a company picnic? I'll arrange for kite flying, boat racing, and whatever other activities you think might be fun. Bring your friends and family, any loved ones....

Oh yes, and Jez, I believe you have the keys to the cages where our lab rat is being kept. Wouldn't it be lovely to release it back into the wild? Animals deserve the same rights if not more than humans have. Being caged is just wrong... let's remedy this immediately.

Anyway, PICNIC in the park later, Xanadu, near the cherry tree. I'll have food catered. Please attend and spread the word! The more the merrier!



[ooc: Solomon's been hit with the 'One Goddamn Hippie Commune' curse. Anyone want some hugs?]

...you wish to release it?

((ooc: sorry for the dropped tags, I've been failing miserable with him :<))

Jez! My dear friend! There you are!

Why yes! It looks so pitiful in that cage. And what with the company picnic and all the good sentiment floating around out there today, I thought it'd be lovely if we were to do a 'catch and release' for the poor thing. I have a camcorder to record the whole thing!

Do you think it'd be better if we called the press to report the release? It'd be good publicity for ARTEMIS...

[ooc: omg you must stop Solomon. O.o And, it's quite alright. Just glad to see his friendly face <3 Better late than never! :) ]

If you must refer to me by my first name, kindly do not shorten it, Dr Goldsmith.

I believe that you are suffering from today's curse. You went through significant trouble to obtain that specimen and would not be very content tomorrow if you found out you had been allowed to release it.

It would not be quite the type of publicity we wish for...

((ooc: he'll do his best to! And thank you <3))

Oh, but Jez has such a nice ring to it... but... if you insist. Jezebel, it is. But please, call me Solomon. <3

I don't feel like I'm under the effects of any curse... everything seems perfectly normal.

If you insist for today.

Which is also a common symptom of many of the curses. You do recall the work we are trying to do?

Filtered

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, of course. To help cure people of these curses, thus making the City a better place to live. That is right, isn't it?

Filtered

[deadlyhealing.livejournal.com]

That is more or less correct.

Then hopefully you also remember that that specimen is necessary for our research.

I don't know, Jez... Jezebel. Perhaps we can simply build some kind of robot to explore the underground instead... that way we wouldn't have to hurt anything.

May we at least put this off until tomorrow? Should you still feel the same way then, you may of course go ahead and release it.

I am sure I can effect some alterations in the meantime.

Tomorrow?

... well... I suppose one extra day won't hurt. But let's put some blankets in there with the poor thing so it can be more comfortable.

[deadlyhealing.livejournal.com]

Very well, I shall see to it.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Would you like to come with me when I set it free?


[ooc: 23rd devotion has a message for Jez. :) ]

If it is necessary. Such a creature deserves to be put out of its misery rather than be released.

((ooc: okay, will check it out, thanks!))
