[When the video connects, lo! A panning view of the mighty Kingdom of Baron, from one of the castle towers. Surprisingly, Edge's hands are quite steady. His voice cuts in from the background:]

To those of you curious, Baron is safe and sound. There's still no sign of Cecil and Rosa... and Ceodore, was it? He sounds like a tough kid. [A pause; he's getting sidetracked a little too much for his own good these days, but all this information is a lot to handle at one go.] Anyway, the kingdom is still in good hands, and it probably won't run itself to the ground anytime soon.

[Now, back to business. Look at Edge's handsome face, everyone!!]

When I get to Eblan, I'll wait a week and then head towards the Tower of Babil. At someone's insistence, I'd like to get a group together for this—it might hold a clue or two as to what's happening around here, but I can't make any guarantees.

You guys can take an airship heading south from any of the kingdoms to Eblan. Just ask around, and I'm sure you'll be able to figure something out.

I'll welcome anyone interested with open arms so long as they're not looking to stir up trouble! You have my word as King.

((ooc; group of three filled! Let me know if you really want in on the party plot--I can probably make room for one more.))

That better not be sarcasm, Palom.

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

That was sincerity.

[LIES.]

—and you know, I'll have a team with me. I'd like to see what these new guys are capable of.

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

[Yes, we do. Although he hates to admit it.]

Oh, I'm aware of that. Porom's planning to head to the mountain after you're done with your expedition.

Just tell her to not overwork herself. If anything comes up on her end, we can always ask one of the others to help us out. Kain, maybe. Don't know much about the others.

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

Porom can handle herself. It's you that needs to take caution. I hope you guys will stock up on Potions.

...But you do have a point. Someone needs to lead these outworlders a thing or two.

Hey, don't underestimate ninjutsu! I've been working on a new trick or two myself!

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

Sure you have, Edge.

[Next thing you know, there's a ninjutsu for turning monsters into midgets.]

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

Your enthusiasm is overwhelming.

[palomthepoofy.livejournal.com]

I'm so overjoyed.

[You keep believing that, Edge.]
