An announcement

[birthrightgreen]

Samael and I would like to take a moment to welcome into the world our daughter, Titian SaDiablo Connor.

She was early, which scared us both, but thank the Darkness she is healthy and strong, and Morghann says she is going to be just fine.

Congratulations to you both and welcome to little Tatian! :)

Thank you. :)

[ibringlife.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

A baby. Wow. Just...wow. Congrats!

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Doctor.

Marian sends a runner over carrying what looks like a trunk. Inside are half a dozen knit blankets in bright greens, greys and silvery blues. Tiny pairs of socks in a rainbow of colors and a cozy little sweater with an intricate leaf pattern embroidered on it. A small card is laid atop everything inside.

Congratulations on your new family. Love always Lucivar, Marian and Daemonar

Surreal is absolutely delighted with the gifts, even moreso that they come from home. She wraps Titian in one of the blankets immediately, snuggling her close as she writes a response to send back.

Thank you so much, all of you. I hope you can come soon to meet her. Love, Surreal.

Titian?

I mean, congratulations! Hooray for babies!

[oldestbeloved.livejournal.com]

Named for her mother.

[shaman-x.livejournal.com]

Okay.

[oldestbeloved.livejournal.com]

... What?

[shaman-x.livejournal.com]

That was a very paranoid response, dad.

[oldestbeloved.livejournal.com]

... It was not!

[shaman-x.livejournal.com]

And now you're in denial. *beams*

[oldestbeloved.livejournal.com]

I am not! ...Oh crap. There's no way I'm going to get out of this one gracefully, is there?

[shaman-x.livejournal.com]

You could try it in song?

[oldestbeloved.livejournal.com]

A song and dance routine? Hmm, maybe.

*does a little routine*

[shaman-x.livejournal.com]

*films it*

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

After my mother.

Thank you.

[shaman-x.livejournal.com]

I got you a present! Although I'm currently using it to film Sam do a little dance.

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

*laughs* A present?

[shaman-x.livejournal.com]

Yep. Thirty-terrabyte crystaldrive holocam! Lightweight, versatile, waterproof, shockproof, sixteen hour powercap, one hour recharge cycle, up to twelve times zoom, autofocus, autotracking, voice or button controlled and with nifty built in playback features! So you can take home-videos and show them to people and use them to embarrass her when she's a teenager as I have heard parents do.

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

*grins*

Is that what parents do? I fear I'm sorely lacking on that sort of knowledge. I won't have any idea how to properly embarrass her!

[shaman-x.livejournal.com]

Baby photos are always a good start. And do you know what's better than baby photos? Full 3D sensesurround footage! Plus it'll be cool to have records.

Ooh! You could take a recording on each birthday with the previous recording playing in the background! It would be very Escher, but in the good way, not in the 'that building makes implausible physical sense' way. That wouldn't be embarrassing, it'd just be cool.

I was gonna get a bear, but the lady at the counter said you should be careful with fluffy things and very young children in case they shed. The bears, not the children. Children really shed. So I didn't. But I totally will in a few months or so.

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

Baby photos. Noted. We didn't have such things in Terreille, but I can see how they would be good momentos to keep.

...Escher?

I'm sure she will love it whenever you think it appropriate. Noah seems quite fond of dragging his around behind him.

[shaman-x.livejournal.com]

Yeah. 's good to keep.

An artist! Drew weird stuff, optical illusions and impossible buildings and shape-shifting tesselations.

Self-cleaning charms are good for that!

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

Then I shall.

Do you think there is any of his work in the library? A book or something?

*smiles* I don't know any of those, but now that I can use my Jewels again, perhaps I should learn. It sound useful.

[shaman-x.livejournal.com]

Everything 's in the library.

You just sorta, um. *hums a cleaning charm*

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

...Right. I forget that.

*listens, frowning a little in concentration*

[shaman-x.livejournal.com]

Except "the complete list of everything in the library" which for some reason is kept in the small broom closet on the twelth level.

But tied to a thing, not just *hums* 'cause that just really cleans yourself and if you do it too much you get all itchy 'cause they're not really designed for that. That's why Wizards still have bathrooms!

[fireofspirit.livejournal.com]

Of course she's going to be fine. She's her mother's daughter.

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how much of a recommendation that is, but thank you.

[fireofspirit.livejournal.com]

Strong-willed, feisty, resourceful, and powerful? I'd say it's quite a recommendation. *smiles*

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

Well, when you put it that way...yes. *smiles*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_deadlydance_/]

Congratutations my dear. You must expect my arrival soon. This is an event to be celebrated in person.

It goes without saying that I expect you to rest, as well?

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

You're coming? Truly?

I am resting.. I try to rest whenever I am. Mother Night, but shouldn't she sleep more?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_deadlydance_/]

Yes, I am truly coming.

As for her need to sleep more? She is your daughter Surreal. I wish you well of telling her that.

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

I am so glad to hear it.

*wry* And Samael barely sleeps at all...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_deadlydance_/]

*laughs out loud*

Oh my dear. The best of luck to you then.

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

That's not all that encouraging...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_deadlydance_/]

I do not believe it was meant to be.

*grins*

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

Brat.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_deadlydance_/]

And here I thought I might be in danger of passing my title to that beautiful, sleepless daughter of yours.

[birthrightgreen.livejournal.com]

You can share it.

Congratulations

Sends a soft sweet little silver-blue blanket for baby Titian along with a congratulations card

Congratulations Surreal, Samael. May your little bundle of sleepless joy bring you years of happiness!
