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...

Fortunately... no hair terribly involved.

Zexion, how delightful to hear from you! Please don't mumble. Have you been alright? Any difficulties because of the creature that was rampaging across the city?

... I certainly hope you haven't been Underground...

I have not.
It makes me wonder if any of the ARTEMIS members has encountered the creature.

Ah, good. If only your brother Artemis would refrain... perhaps you can speak to him...?

And which creature are you referring to?

The origin of the hair, basically.
My brother...? Pardon?

Ah yes, the hair creature. I'm grateful that none of you were hindered too greatly by it. Of course, I'd expect nothing less of my children...

And yes, Artemis. Oh, before I forget... I spoke with your other brother Xemnas about playing in the darkness. Likewise, I'd like to ask you to refrain from such activities. I don't feel it's safe.

I just couldn't forgive myself if either of you were injured because of it...

The Superior... forbids it.

I... understand.

You promise me that you won't do anything else with the darkness, just as he has given me his promise?

I would like to know what was said, exactly... I admit I was completely unaware of this... prohibition.

You and Xemnas, you're both such good boys. What more could a father ask for?

I simply asked your brother to refrain from working with the darkness. He was most agreeable to my request...

Hm. Zexion, how would you feel about our little family going on a camping trip? It's been awhile since we all got together, and I would like to have the opportunity to spend some quality time with you children.

This must be a sort of curse, most certainly.

Ah...

Yes.

Camping trip? ...I believe I can endure, as long as there is a tree with a vast shade. And a book, of course.

Endure? I'm certain that it will be a grand time for everyone. I'll even pick up s'mores...

... that is... chocolate, marshmellows... and... some sort of cracker isn't it?

The important thing is that we'll all have valuable time to get closer.

Y-yes.
