Tesk clicked off the tv, he looked at his aid, Lakan. "Fine you win". He said. Lakan had gotten him to watch the clip, trying to get him to marry. "I'll send out a notice".

Thank you, he beleives in love, not heritage.

Thanks for the info on Tesk, Taralkea. Also, do you have a NSWiki? Just wondering.

What?

By NSWiki, I meant http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Also, does Tesk require any more info on my suitor? Just to confirm.

Nope.

Ok, just wondering. Also, will this thread be used for having the suitors come and visit Tesk?

Yalp.

If so, could I send my suitor? Or will we wait for others?

Your choice.

OOC-I guess I could. I will then. Is this a good post?

IC-Theodora Cantacuzenus got herself ready and then proceeded to go on the plane heading for Taralkea. She came on the plane and the plane went off for Taralkea. She was hoping to have a good time in Taralkea. The plane landed in the airport of the capital and she came out of the plane, dressed in Roman Greek formal attire. She wore an amulet or necklace round her neck which contained a picture of her late brother who passed away some time ago.

OOC: Good enough for my peasant blood.
Tesk was waiting at the airport for Theodora. He was wearing leather and chainmail, a sheild with his coat of arms, a wolf and a Dragon on an azure background attacking a shodow, in the limo by his him. "Greetings my lady". He said kissing her hand, "I trust your flight was enjoyable"?

''Greetings to you.'' Theodora said. ''Yes, it was a good flight. Your nation looks nice from the skies.'' Theodora replied. As they went in the limo, Theodora asked ''Could you tell me some info on Taralkea? What is it like? What is the capital like?'' She wanted to know lots about Taralkea which was the nation she was visiting.

Tesk laughed, "Your curios arent you"? "Well, We were ormed only twenty years ago through revolution, my Father was the first emperer, the capital Taralk, is pretty big, and where the city isn't, theres forests". He grinned at her, "You came just in time, we are about to have the estival o the Dragon".

''The Festival of the Dragon?'' Theodora said. ''That would be good to see. Why don't we see it? I would like to see a Taralkean festival.'' she said. ''Thanks for telling me of your nation too.'' Theodora said.

OOC-Sorry for late reply. My internet is being fixed up.

"No problem, the festival should start in a few days, He smiled at her, you ever see a Dragon"?
OOC: Its okay.

OOC-Thanks.

IC-''I don't think I have seen one, I can't remember.'' Theodora said in response. ''It's too bad that we can't fast forward time so that we can go to the festival.'' Theodora said. ''In the meantime, we can always go to the palace and see stuff around there.'' she stated.

He smiled at her. "Yes we should, but first I want to show you something". He led her to what appered to be an empty feild. He gave a whistle, and a huge blue Dragon, bigger than a tank, flew down from the sky.
OOC:We need more people.

OOC-More people for this thread? I guess you are right, its only you and me here.

IC-Theodora was amazed at the sight of the dragon. ''Is this dragon one of your Imperial ones?'' Theodora asked. ''Why don't we ride it together? I would like to see Taralkea from the skies.'' Theodora inquired.

"Imperal"? He said laughing. "No, he's just my pet, one of the youngest Dragons, we have". "And sure we can ride him". He grabbed her and placed her gentley on the back of the Dragon and hopped up. "You want to go for a ride"? He said to the Dragon. The Dragon instantly took off, giving them a birds eye veiw of Taralk.

Theodora nodded and held on when the dragon went up into the air. ''This is a great view up here!'' Theodora said. ''I wish I had a dragon, then I could fly over many nations, seeing the cities and the such.'' Theodora said. ''Let's ride the dragon to the capital.'' Theodora stated to Tesk.

"Okay, and you want a Dragon? I could give you one just for coming here". "Okay, we should be to the palace in five minutes".

OOC: Yallow?

''My own dragon? That would be great!'' Theodora said joyfully. ''Let's ride the dragon to the palace. Also, this dragon looks familiar somehow.'' she said.

"Okay, how does it look familiar"?

''From a picture I've seen. It was a painting by Dragonius, a well known Roman Greek painter.'' Theodora said.

"Ah, Dragianus, he was a good freind of my Father". "Well, little is it known, but that was a fantasy drawing". "After he painted that knowing all our types of Dragon, he came here to see i we could breed one". "He's the first of his kind". "Well, here we are". They were at a very large building now, Tesk hopped down and helped Theodora off.

OOC-Thanks for giving me some info on Dragonius. I was planning to use him for a factbook or something on him.

IC-''I have many of Dragonius' paintings.'' Theodora said. She came to the palace and said ''Your palace looks well kept. The architecture is amazing.'' She went inside and said ''Do you have a balcony that you can see the whole city from?''

OOC: You do realise I mae that up on the spur o the moment right? If so, no problem. By the way, whats a fact book?
"Yes, he is one of my favorites to". He replied. "Yes, we could use the balcony in my sisters room, shes at her wedding right now".

OOC-I'll give you a link to a factbook soon so you know what it is. Also, that's ok if it was a spur for the moment.

IC-''I hope her marriage is prosperous.'' Theodora said, going to the balcony. ''What a great view! Usually royalty or nobles have this kind of view.'' Theodora stated. ''Why don't you come out too? You can point out things to me.'' she said.

He came up beside her, "That, he said pointing to a breif spurt of fire, is where they are setting up the festival". "And that, he said pointing a little to the right, is where the dragons are".
OOC:Okay.

OOC: Yodalaehoo.

OOC-Sorry for that.

IC-Theodora was hoping to go to the festival, she wanted to see what it was like. ''Where did the dragons come from? How did they get to Taralkea?'' Theodora asked.

"They were here before us, would you like some lunch?

''Sure, some Taralkean food would be good.'' Theodora said.

"You like Narzul meat"?

''That would be good.'' Theodora said. ''I like to try out new foods.'' she said.

They went to the dining room, Tesk pulled a chair out for Theodara. "Narzul please, he said to the water, anything else"? He said looking at Theodora.

''A Taralkean drink would be nice.'' said Theodora.

"Okay, get her some Nezha, I'll have tha to". The waiter brought the order to the kitchen, the heard a gout of fire and five minutes later he brought their meal.

''This is a nice meal. Thank you for the lunch.'' Theodora said, eating her meal. ''This is a well done meal.'' she said.

"Probably because we use the Dragon chicks to cook the everyday meals".
He pushed his finished meal away, would yu like to go to the beach"?

Theodora nodded and finished her meal. ''Sure, we can go to the beach.'' Theodora said. They went to the beach and Theodora went to get changed from her formal clothing.

"Okay, I'll have an aid show you to your room".

After she got changed, she came to Tesk and said ''Let's go to the beach now.''

'Okay". They headed to the beach, when they got there, the same Dragon that they had ridden dived into the water, splashing them both, and swam up to Theodora, wanting a pat on the head.

Theodora patted the dragon on the head and held its head lovingly. ''This dragon is a nice one. I'm sure it will grow up well.'' Theodora said before diving underwater and swimming around.

OOC: Sorry it took me so long.
Tesk jumped in after her, he swam right behind her and splashed her, saying "Your it"!

OOC-That's ok, I understand.

IC-Theodora went after him and splashed him. ''You are it now!'' she said, splashing him.

Tesk splashed her back, then the Dragon jumped between them, splashing them both, there almost seemed to be a voice saying, 'Now your both it'! and dived back underwater.

Theodora went underwater, looking for the dragon. She was a good swimmer and she tried to get Tesk to come with her.

Tesk understood what she was doing, and dived in ater her, the Dragon eluding them at every turn and splashing them when they least expected.

Finally, after some time, Theodora got on the dragon and rode the dragon underwater. ''I got you!'' Theodora said to the dragon.

The Dragon seemed suprised, then a voice said, 'Now it is Tesk's turn to get us'! Tesk went ater the Dragon, trying to catch them to no avail.

Theodora held on to the dragon tightly and tried to urge on Tesk.

Tesk inaly got the tail, and burst upward saying, "Might as well quit while I'm ahead".

Theodora greeted Tesk and then asked the dragon to get to shore, above water.

'Yes my lady' Siad the Dragon.
When Tesk got ashore, he said "I swear, you have a telapathic conection with him".

''A telepathic connection?'' Theodora said, interested. ''Is it time for the festival?'' Theodora asked.

"Yeah, in our culture, it's said there are some people who can talk to Dragons wth their minds". "The estival is in two days". "Well, I beleive it's dinner time".

''I hope I can talk to the dragon through my mind.'' Theodora said. She then got changed and said ''What shall we be having for dinner? Also, can I cook something for you perhaps?''

"Do you want to cook"?

''I guess I could cook. I can cook well.'' Theodora said nicely.

"Okay then, get in there, take over the kitchen, recruit the Dragons with your telapathy, and cook whatever you want".

Theodora tried to use telepathy and the dragon flew them both to the palace. She got into the kitchen and began cooking foods like Baklava, Sachertorte and other foods, even mixing Taralkean and Roman Greek foods together.

A young red Dragon walked up to her, 'Do you require aid miss'? It said n a suprisingly mature voice.

''Sure, if you could help me, I would like that.'' Theodora said to the dragon.

He walked up to the Narzul she was putting in the oven and said 'I dont even know why they have ovens in here' He blew softly on it, cooking it just right, and grabbed some spices with his tail 'There you go miss'.

''Thanks.'' Theodora said, putting some spices on. ''Can you help me serve some of the food? I've made some Narzul, Baklava and others.'' Theodora said.

'Yes miss'. He grabbed a couple plates with his tail, and balnced one on his head.
OOC: I like Dragons in case you can't tell.

OOC-I see. I kind of like them too.

IC-Theodora and the dragon brought the dishes and served them. ''I hope you like my cooking.'' Theodora said to Tesk. ''The dragon helped me too.'' Theodora said, embracing the dragon and giving it a kiss and a pat on the head.

OOC: Hello my Dragon liking bretheren!
The Dragon wagged his tail, accidentaly hitting a servent. "Dumb animal". The servant muttered. "Smells delecios". Siad Tesk offering her a chair.

OOC-Hello too.

IC-Theodora sat down and they began to eat. ''How do you like my cooking?'' Theodora asked politely.

OOC: ROFLMAO
"It's great"! He said. "Just one question, what is that"? He asked pointing at the barklov.

''Thanks!'' Theodora said. ''Baklava is is a popular rich, sweet pastry found in many cuisines of the Middle East and the Balkans, made of chopped nuts layered with phyllo pastry, sweetened with sugar syrup or honey.'' she told Tesk.

Tesk suddenly stopped chewing the barklov in his mouth. "Uh-oh, he said, I'm alergic to nuts".

''I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were allergic to nuts.'' Theodora said. ''Dragon, let's help him!'' Theodora said, trying her best to help him.

OOC-I did not know of his allergies. Sorry.

OOC: My fault, should have included stuff like that. Whatever you do, just don't give him a flower.
They finaly managed to get his sneezing under control, and the swelling wasn't to bad. "Good thing it wasn't a flower". He joked nervously.

OOC-That's ok, I understand. And I will not give him a flower.

IC-''Thank the Heavens!'' Theodora said, relieved that he was ok. She decided to eat the Baklava herself. ''Try the other foods like the Honey Glazed Narzul.'' she told him.

"That I can handle". He said. "Well, we might as well go to bed, tommorows the festival".

After they ate their dinner, Theodora asked ''Can you show me my room?'' She snuck the Baklava, hoping to eat it while she slept.

Tesk showed her to her room, the Dragon acompanying them. When they got to their room he kissed her hand saying "Night, hope you enjoy your barklov". The Dragon went in hopping on the bed, and said, 'Night miss'.

Theodora said ''Good night.'' and then said the same to the dragon. She found some room on the bed, ate some Baklava and then went to sleep.

OOC: And so ends the firs day.
The sun shown threw the window. Already there was sounds of getting ready for the festival. He went to the womans chambers, hoping to suprise Thedora.

OOC-Yep.

IC-Theodora was sleeping with a book over her face, it seems that she was trying to read. She seemed to be moving when she slept. Then she could hear the door move. ''Tesk, is that you?'' Theodora said, trying to hide, hoping to play a joke on him.

"Yep, may I come in"?

''Not yet. I'm changing from my night clothing.'' Theodora said. She started to change into her formal attire. ''I'll tell you when I am done.'' she said.

"Okay". He stood there waiting.

''You can come in now.'' Theodora said finishing up. ''The festival is today right?'' Theodora said.

He came in, "Yep, we have to hurry to not miss the festival breakfast.

Theodora nodded and said ''What are we waiting for? Let's go!''

They went toward he smells outside the Dragon trailing behind.

''What is the festival like?'' Theodora asked.

"Oh, it's nothing like you've ever seen, they even put on a show cooking breakfast". The got to the sight just in time to see a cook throw up a slab of meat and it getting blasted by a full grown Dragon staying just below well done.

Theodora was amazed at the dragon cooking the meat and tried to go grab some to eat. ''Tesk, thanks for taking me to the festival.'' Theodora said.

Tesk laughed, "No problem, what else would I do, ground you to your room"?

''That wouldn't be nice of you.'' Theodora laughed a little. ''Tesk, do you have any drinks here. I am a little thirsty.'' she said.

"Sure". He pointed at a servant, "You, get her some Nerzh". "Yes sr". He said.
"So, said Tesk after she had gotten her drink, How do you like Taralkea"?

''This is one of the best places I've been to. I like Taralkea. It is a nice well kept place and you are a nice person.'' Theodora said.

"Thanks, I hope you weren't bugged when I showed up at first wearing armor".

''That is ok. I've seen people like that before.'' Theodora said.

"Good, I've just learned to be wary, no offens". "Are you hungry"?

''I understand, Royalty can be prime targets for human poachers.'' Theodora said. ''I am a little hungry.'' Theodora said.

"Yes, evn rom those closest to you". What would you like"? "Keep it breakastlike please".

''How about some scrambled eggs? I like eggs, you know.'' Theodora said. Theodora agreed about what he said about those closest to you trying to hurt or kill you.

"Okay, and don't worry, we don't eat Dragon eggs". He passed her a plate and her Nerzh, "After breakfast, the fun starts".
OOC: I'm going to have to choose Theodora after the estval if noone else shows up.

OOC-I see. Also, if you choose Theodora, then after they get married, be free to use her in RP's you RP in.

IC-''I'm sure your people don't eat the eggs of a national animal.'' Theodora said. ''What is the fun that begins after breakfast?'' Theodora asked.

OOC: And you can use Tesk, I think after he gets married I'll make a factbook on Taralkea.
"Well, first we have medeival tournaments, which I usualy join, then ater that, there is Dragon riding".

OOC-That's good. But how could I use Tesk? He is Taralkea's leader.

IC-''Can we join a Medieval Tournament? Perhaps I can fight you and joust with you.'' Theodora said.

OOC:She could bring him whenever she visits places I guess.
IC: "Can you get into plate armor"? "Or lit a sword? Or Ax"?

OOC-That would be acceptable.
IC-''I can do those things. I have learned many things like sword handling. I can do good.'' Theodora said. When they went to the tournament, she got changed into a Roman Greek style Knight and said ''Let's get ready to rumble!....Medievally!''

OOC:Okay
"The tournamant is now to begin, first event, archery, first one up,.....Lady Theadora?

OOC-I would like them to fight and joust each other too.

IC-''That's me.'' Theodora said as she got her bow and arrow. ''Like Genghis Khan and the Mongols.'' Theodora said as she shot some bows, getting bullseyes and so on. ''Your turn, Tesk.'' Theodora said.

OOC:Paitience young one.
Tesk looked suprised, but went ahead and got the exact same score.
Then it wasa jousting, "First up, Theodora and Tesk". Tesk rode to the ffeild, planning on letting her have jousting.

OOC-Yes, Venerable Master. Just kidding.

IC-Theodora rode on her horse and then rode towards Tesk as the joust began. She pulled back and then thrusted, knocking Tesk off his horse.

OOC:Probably my last post or a while, depends on your next post.
"Next up, combat"! Tesk, ended up winning, making two winners to split the prize.

OOC-I see. Also, I did thought that we would RP combat but if Tesk won, that's fine.

IC-''Nice match, Tesk.'' Theodora said, fixing herself up. ''Tesk, let's try dragon racing.'' Theodora said.

OOC:Sorry it took so long.
IC:Thanks, that sounds good to me, though you'll probably win with your conection.

OOC-That's fine.

''That does not mean we can't race! Let's go race!'' Theodora said.

"Never said we couldn't, I just said I'll probably loose". He lead her to a feild full of saddled Dragons and some barebacked ones. "Which Dragon"? He asked.

''How about the one I first rode on?'' Theodora asked.

"Okay, here it is". And led her to it, he got on a medium sized black Dragon and started counting down, "3,2,1, GO!".

''I will win!'' Theodora said, beating Tesk in the race.

"What I tell ya, telepathic connection ". What do you want to do next"?

''Let's go back to the palace.'' Theodora said. ''Perhaps we can dance to Taralkean music?''

"Okay, lets go get some musicans, what kind o music do you like"?

OOC: When should Tesk propose, I'm guessing noone else is joining.

((OOC: I shall, if allowed.))

OOC-You can propose whenever you want.

''I like all kinds of music.'' Theodora said to Tesk.

OOC-Tocrowkia, could you join Roman Greek Arterus' The Consul's Search thread? The Consul is looking for a wife. RGA is a puppet nation of Roman Greece.

((OOC: Depends on if I can get into this one or not. Looks like it is drawing to a close though.))

OOC-If you can get in or not to this thread which will perhaps end soon, can you join the Consul thread? Thanks. I hope you could if you are able to.

((OOC: Depends on if I can get into this one or not. Looks like it is drawing to a close though.))
You can join, go ahead.

((OOC: Actually, scratch that. Forget I said anything, you two.))

Dont wanna join?

Tesk should propose to Theodora now then if no one will join. I had thought people would join.

OOC: Okay, and you gotta point, last time I made somthin like this I couldn't keep up. Boy, my grammers gettin worse.
IC: Once they were on the ground Tesk pulled out a ring, and knelt before Theodora, and said, "Theodora, will you mary me"?

OOC-That's ok. Sometimes RP's do good and sometimes they do not as good.

IC-''Tesk, I...I will marry you!'' Theodora said, embracing Tesk.

OOC: Ya, good point, I realy gotta restore my grammer.
"Thank you, when should we have the wedding"? He said embracing back and giving a kiss.

''Whenever you want it, I suppose.'' Theodora said, returning the kiss.

OOC-Your grammer is ok, Taralkea. You don't need to criticize yourself.

OOC: Just feel like it should be a little better.
"How about next week"?

OOC-I understand.

IC-''Sure, if you want to.'' Theodora said. ''How about I cook dinner for tonight?'' Theodora asked.

"Whatever you want". He said.
And they lived happily ever after. Or do you want to keep going?

OOC-We need to do the wedding, don't we?

OOC: Good point, any ideas on how to proceed?

OOC-I guess we could just start a wedding. Get a justice of the peace or a priest and so on, I suppose.
