[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.))

[Simultaneously housesitting and babysitting for Rydia.

But he doesn't betray any of that in his expression.]

Avoiding causing a scene.

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

Other than that. Something about babysitting?

[rebornaninsect.livejournal.com]

[Sorry, it'll take more than that to break his pokerface.]

What do you mean?

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

Rydia hasn't gotten to you yet, has she.

[rebornaninsect.livejournal.com]

And I assume she has, for you?

[Why yes Edge he might just have implied that you're wrapped around Rydia's finger.]

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

I'm not the one babysitting! Or. Are going to be asked to babysit.

[rebornaninsect.livejournal.com]

Why would she ask you? [Edge's dignity is just being pummeled right now, isn't it?]

She intends to place such a burden on me?

[knewthat.livejournal.com]

I know, right?

But there's no one else, according to her. Consider me breaking the news—and asking you in her stead—before she gets to you. Maybe you'll soften up some once she starts asking.

[rebornaninsect.livejournal.com]

Hmph. We will se about that.

[Which, in Golbezspeak, translates to 'not likely.'

And yet that's exactly what will happen.]

[It is ammunition that should be used against him whenever he starts to angst excessively.]
