34th Devotion: They don't call, they don't write...

[favoritetraitor]

My children... and just what have you been up to lately? Cain, Luke, my wayward sons. I think it's time you came home...

[Attempted filter to ARTEMIS]
Carl, Jezebel, Billy, Zexion, Xemnas, Clow, Lyle, Temperance, Lavi, Artemis, Basene, Kincaid... you are taking care of yourselves? With all the incidents occurring in the city lately, I have worried... they say to let your children make their own mistakes, but perhaps there's such a thing as having too much. Dear ones, forgive me for not being there when you've needed me. I shouldn't have spent all my time at the office... but I'd hoped to give you all a better life... have I failed? Is there still time to make amends...

... oh Cain. I've failed you, haven't I? I should have protected you better...

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

I'm gagging now.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

The last thing I need is to be better protected.

You haven't failed, exactly, but I suspect you're very cursed.

Carl, my child! How good it is to hear from you! I'd been worried about you with all the happenings in the City lately.

... ask me for anything. I want to correct the past between us. What do you need that I can provide?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I need you to leave me alone.

Cain...

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

... you can't possibly mean that.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I can and I do.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Was I adopted?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

As much as it pains me... I... will respect your wishes.

Please, take care... the door is always open if you should ever change your mind.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Being adopted, doesn't make you any less a part of the family, Luke. I just want you to know that...

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

How many in the extended family is there?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Just a handful... but of course, there would be more if you kids would finally get to the point of settling down. Is there even any special someone in your life right now, Luke?

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

Not at the moment.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Now you see? This is what I'm talking about... perhaps I can find a nice young lady for you...?

Doctor Goldsmith, I believe you are suffering from a curse.

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

My tastes are ever changing and so no one will do.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Well, certainly not if you set your standards so high, my son. But I'd rather not die before getting the chance to see grandchildren...

Jezebel... how good to hear that you haven't been swallowed up in some hole... do you know how worried I get when I don't hear from you for weeks on end? Especially with all the turmoil that's been going on...

I am perfectly capable of looking after myself.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Well, with how engrossed you get in your work, it's a wonder you don't starve. And do you even get enough sleep?

... Jezebel. I only say this because I care. You know how pleased I am of your accomplishments. You'd make any father brim over with pride... I really mean this...

[valentineluke.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid you're in for a long wait.

I believe it would be best to continue this conversation once you have regained your senses.
