Citizens of Gaia:

I, Regent Cid of Lindblum, wish to send you all a message of hope. This past winter has been hard on everyone. We have experienced food shortages, monster invasions, unprovoked attacks, and only a few days ago, we were plunged into visions we most likely didn't want to see.

But through this turmoil, I am proud to say that the people of Gaia have remained strong. I am proud to serve people of such courage and fortitude. I promise you now, spring will come and we will work to ensure a prosperous future. We won't allow those who would destroy that future to run amok! The madman Kefka was recently sighted in Lindblum. To ensure the safety of all citizens, I am increasing the number of knights patrolling the streets, as well as introducing automated defenders known as rooks to protect us all. He won't set foot here again, you can be sure of that.

Rest assured that I and other heads of state are working to set things right. No-one can know exactly what lies ahead, but we can be ready for it.

Well, I had simply intended to check in with you all and see how you were faring. I would still like to hear such news - Lady Ashe, congratulations on your lovely baby! But I hear that Figaro has been claimed by another? - but we have far graver matters to discuss.

First, Kefka. I'm afraid to say that he is actually the least of our worries now. But the scoundrel just appeared in Lindblum and it's about time that he was stopped for good. Lord Vayne has been kind enough to provide us with weapons, the rooks I spoke of, to defend our borders, and I think they could be used to defeat this clown too.

Second, Kuja has once more appeared in Gaia. Don't be fooled by his manner; his only goal is to bring chaos to Gaia. The last time he was here, he masterminded the destruction of all three realms of the Mist Continent. We still haven't fully recovered from that. We mustn't allow him to gain any influence again.

Third, Memoria. I believe that the fact we were all transported to that place has terrible implications for Gaia. I won't say more until I have more information, but it may be the reason that any of you Sky People are here.

Is it true that Garland has returned? Zidane, I want to know everything that he said to you. Cloud, you spoke of encountering Garland before. What can you tell us about him? His aims? His powers? Did he bring us to Memoria? Why? We need to put our heads together to work this out.

With that said, I would like to propose another meeting aboard the Invincible on the 22nd February. Some things are best discussed in person. The sooner we can figure out a plan, the better. Let me know what you think.

Thank you, Your Grace.

I... feel the situation regarding Figaro is reaching an amiable solution.

Whilst I would gladly attend, you understand I must also see to the care of my son. Would it be too much to ask... have you anyone in your company trustworthy enough to see to his supervision aboard during the meeting's course? I wish not to leave him behind.

It's nothing you need to worry about. I'm just tired. Walking through Memoria was much different from before. On top of that, there is a lot of things I must deal with personally. When the time is right, I will share. But that time isn't now.

I just... Feel as though I've cut myself off from the world, without meaning to. I need to fix that, if I'm to continue being a good Queen. Alexandria deserves a strong leader, not what I have become as of late.

Are you in Figaro, my lady?

Of course. Consider it done!

If there's anything I can do to help, you know where I am.

I wish to assure all that Troia is safe now. The pirate threat has been dealt with successfully.

((OOC: Would it be okay to assume Rosa's included in the filter since she was present at the lasdt meeting / is currently filling in for Cecil?))

Thank you, Lady Rosa! I heard that Cecil has vanished... How are you faring?

[ooc: Yes, absolutely, especially since Cecil is gone.]

I am as well as I can be. If you would like my presence at the meeting, I would be happy to attend, though I'm not the leader Cecil is.

But you're ruling Troia in his absence, right? Come along and we'll see what we can do to help you. I couldn't leave a lovely lady all on her own.

I'm trying to. I will. Thank you, Regent.

No, not really. After I tried to talk back to him he just...stopped. Answering, I mean. I would've thought it was a memory if he had said stuff he said before...

Ah, I see. So it has all been resolved?

Hmm. Well, try to remember as much as you can. We'll need to hear everything at the meeting.

Yes, we arrived only this morning. We await the arrival of those knowledgeable of the castle, that they may raise it for our occupation. Until then, Rasler and I have found residence within the city.

Thank you.
