[phone call.] >> Regent Cid.

[Ringringra-ri-ring. There's someone on the phone that's got business to discuss about your lovely little daughter, Regent. And it's pressing. Best pick up, or the phone'll ring all day.]

[phone call.] >> Rydia of Mist.

[Courtesy call, to make sure you're okay. A few days have passed since he spoke to you, and the matter's been on his mind. Why? Because he's nice like that and waited a few days before bothering.]

[network post, video - filtered from Garland, Kuja, Lufene and Dr Cid]

Greetings, people and friends of Gaia!

[Cid looks so happy his moustache is practically twirling by itself.]

I, Regent Cid, and my wife Hilda, have a joyous announcement to make! Last night, my dear wife gave birth to a baby boy!

[The camera zooms out to reveal Lady Hilda sitting in a comfortable old chair, looking tired but pleased. She's holding a small bundle in her arms, an infant barely a day old.]

This child is my heir - Cid Fabool X!

We are not accepting any visitors as yet, as Lady Hilda still needs time to recover, but all well-wishes will be warmly received. May you all have a stupendous day!

[Voice]

[Selphie's voice cracks like a whip over the network and boys does she ever sound mad. She's not overly impressed with the latest round of gossip circling around Alexandria.]

Whoever the jerkface is who started spreading that rumor about SeeD being in on what's happened recently can come talk to me and I'll be more than happy to straighten them out. Got it?

Good! [And the feed dies. Anybody on Garden will find her wailing away on monsters in the training centre. She's discovered that she doesn't need to junction on Gaia to use magic so... she's training to see what she can learn on her own. If she can't figure some things out, she'll seek someone versed in magic to help her out.]

[ VIDEO / Action for those in Madain Sari (Hope, Fang, Vanille, etc) ]

[ Lightning is wandering around the ruins of Madain Sari, ignoring the looming specter of Lunatic Pandora overhead. She's walking slowly, gunblade out in case of ambush, one hand on the walls of the area she's in, right outside the Eidolon Wall. She's looking for something, or someone. ]

Wonder if this'll even work.
