My, it appears quite a few people are feeling unwell these days.

[Not that Cecil himself sounds remotely unwell. In fact, he seems to be surprisingly cheerful today.]

I'm afraid I cannot help everyone with that. However, a small dinner for the whole family should definitely cheer a few people I know up, don't you agree? Please show up promptly. I'd rather not have to drag you back home if I can avoid it.

[And drag them back he will, if he has to.]

[[ooc: Repressed abandonment and betrayal issues -> full blown yandere clinginess. Tread carefully.]]

Really... You don't need to do that.

[Rydia wasn't kidding after all...]

I insist. Home would certainly be much more comfortable than any clinic.

Father, she needs to stay in. I will bring her home when it's safe.

[Where did Ceodore find this backbone anyway?]

Are you so certain the clinic is safe, then? Or are you merely looking for an excuse to stay out of the house?

[Cecil would be quite happy about the backbone, if it didn't sound like dissention.]

What's gotten into you?

[You are being SO WEIRD, Dad.]

What's gotten into both of you?!

[Your petty arguments are upsetting Selphie.]

Considering your tendency to take everyone's side over mine, I feel quite justified in wondering about ulterior motives.

[Cecil is being perfectly normal and sane and paranoid, tyvm.]

You'd much rather be at home, would you not, Selphie?

If everybody's going to be picking fights with each other? No, I don't.

What in the world are you talking about?

[SIGH.]

Selph, try to get some sleep.

Ah, yes, you'd not know of that yet, would you? Siding over Kain over your own flesh and blood, trying to murder your own father...

[...Say goodbye to sane Cecil, kids.]

There's no need to worry, Selphie. As long as everyone comes home, I have no reason to pick fight with anyone.

[And guess who chose this moment to walk into the clinic? Nevermind the fact he's dressed in obscene shades of red, orange and purple and wearing skinny jeans of all things.] That's enough from the both of you. Selphie is ill and your fighting isn't helping.

[His voice is firm, and while not raised, is definitely capable of being heard over the journals.]

WHAT?! I would never. I was trying to save you from him.

[Okay well the twins did tell him that something severe happened to his father, but they didn't mention outright insanity.]

Frey, can you stay with her? I have... to take care of something.

Save me? My, raising your sword against me is quite the strange way of showing it.

[But then his attitude completely changes.]

Oh, would you be interested in joining us for sandwiches? Having more people around would be even nicer.

[And he truly, genuinely means that.]

[Ceodore shoots a look at both of them, giving Frey a pointed stare for his choice in clothing. Selphie gets a tender kiss on the forehead and then Ceodore's out the door to take care of business. Seriously. What. The. Hell?

The second he steps out of the clinic, he teleports over to the house and just stares at his Father, arms folded over his chest.]

[Cecil must have expected his arrival, because his sword is at his side. His smile is more than slightly mad.]

Come to finish what you could not manage last time, have you? My own son, betraying me once more. Even family cannot be trusted.

[This is likely to get messy. Ceodore left for the clinic intended to stay parked by Selphie all day so is currently unarmed and unarmored as well. He's too busy staring in disbelief to even respond to the madness or looming threat implied in those words.]

What's happened to you?

What's happened to me? Why, I've been betrayed by my son, my wife, my brother, my best friend and nearly everyone I care about over and over again, of course. They abandon me, they betray me, they attack me... I'll not let that happen again.

[All of possessed!Cecil and dark!Cecil's issues, none of the restraint. Great.]

You are not yourself. My father would never believe such things, much less say them.

[And this time Ceo's got no backup. Lovely.]

[The laughter that comes out of Cecil's mouth is far from the usual one.]

Of course I would not say them! A single word that does not correspond to your image of me, and already you consider me an impostor. Is that what helps you sleep at night, after betraying your own family?

I have never. Would never! Neither would Mother!

[Now with Kain? All bets are off. Ceodore's so torn between shocked, hurt and furious, he doesn't know what to do with himself.

Wait a second... something about this is familiar.]

Why was I banned from home? Why were there monsters posing as the Red Wings? Why were they trying to kill us?

[...That actually manages to calm him down a little. For now.]

...That girl. Forcing herself inside my mind, ripping my very soul apart as if it were a toy... Making me attack everyone I care for, the rest of the world... Such acts cannot be forgiven. Yet she stayed by my side until she died, at least. I suppose I should thank her for that.

[This is starting to become slightly pathetic.]

[Blink. That's a sudden change.]

Girl? The one Palom and Porom told me about? Is she here?

[Ceodore's not too keen on the idea of taking on his father, but he'd sure as hell put an end to someone messing with his family.]

Don't be ridiculous. If she were, we'd have long found and imprisoned her. You'll not see her outside of the battle dome.

[No Bahamut to destroy his defenses, this time. ...But no Odin to give him, either.]

Okay!
