36th Memo- [Voice]

[maggotbone]

A little sad when Father's Day is coming up, and there's no sacrificial goat to give. Not because there's a lack of supply, obviously, but some rituals are meant to be done with father and daughter alone. As much as I loathed the man for trying to control my life, and the fact that he reminded me over and over again that he hoped for a boy- he was my dad and the only one I had. He tried to give me a normal demonic life, even when I was a half breed.

Really, he always had my best interest at heart.. even if it meant trying to make me marry a man I hated to fix a mistake that he made, and get me to suck out the soul of a man I wanted to keep around. I guess after about a year, it's easy to kind of miss that nagging and constant pushing. I mean, at first the lack thereof was great. But it's the little things. It showed he cared, right? Funny how you don't realize that until you've been without one for a long period of time.

So no sacrificial goat. I still think I need to do something for him though. Call it the plight of a loyal daughter.

[Someone may be considering claiming a soul in honor of Daddy. Islanders beware]

Spoken like a guy that never got his train set for Christmas.

[She's so totally teasing you, Harvey]

voice

[indentcision]

I never did. But I got over it.

voice

[maggotbone]

Don't lie to me, Dent. I hear a lot of resentment.

voice

[indentcision]

It's not resentment. [ Well. ] It's just not my thing. What's Father's Day without any fathers?

voice

[maggotbone]

Yeah, I can see that.

But not even Christmas though. I admit, I didn't expect this from you but I probably should have.

voice

[indentcision]

Not even Christmas. [ He hates Christmas. For reasons. ] It's not that big of a deal.

voice

[maggotbone]

No, not really.

So what's the next holiday coming up? Fourth of July? ...If I'm back in town we can go hate it together if you want. Or would that be too festive?

voice

[indentcision]

Better yet, we could both leave town to avoid whatever inevitably blows up.

voice

[maggotbone]

As long as we're at a comfortable distance to "ooh" and "ahh" at the mushroom cloud.

voice

[indentcision]

We could go to New Jersey.

voice

[maggotbone]

Wow. Blow up or go to Jersey.

Both equally appealing.

voice

[indentcision]

[ PFFT. ]

Or we could go upstate.

voice

[maggotbone]

Careful. You might enjoy yourself.

voice

[indentcision]

Don't be too sure.
