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...

What the hell?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Please watch your language, young man.

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Hell. No.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

This is my fault, isn't it? If only I'd paid more attention and been around as you were growing up...

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, daddy dearest. That's my damned problem alright.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Kincaid... must we fight? We are family after all... I wish to be there for each and every one of you.

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

If we were fighting, you'd have something to show for it.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Still, is that any way to speak to me? Honestly, you and Cain... what am I going to do with both of you?

Kincaid... I think it best if we could both meet halfway in this relationship...

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Yeah? How ya wanna accomplish that?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Hm... I'm afraid I don't really know what your hobbies are now... but... um. We could always go fishing!

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

I'll go find a bridge to jump off first.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

... I would hardly call that meeting me half way. Are you trying to make me worry?

Kincaid... I care just as much about you as I do the others. Surely you know that.

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Beach cliff then.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Is this a cry for help? Have I not spent enough time with you?

Perhaps we should go to family counseling...

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

You make me want to hit you.

You gonna pay me tomorrow if I do that?

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

... if that would help to mend this rift, then yes. I suppose I will be willing to pay you to come with me to counseling.

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Counseling. You've really gone off the deep end, daddy dearest.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Well, we wouldn't have to do this if things hadn't deteriorated to such a state.

But, of course, all of you are worth the time and effort involved in mending our relationships.

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

I'm gagging now.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

.... why can't you be more like your brother, Xemnas? Still... Kincaid's obviously more in need of my attention. What kind of father would I be if I failed him now?

I'll call to make an appointment for us tomorrow.
