((I think this is officaly ending the suitor thread too. we'll just continue it here))

*People start coming up from the underground tunnels and bomb shelters after Alex Wazzat's announcement that the invasion was over. Quickly they start setting up a party in the main square. Empress Eris herself watches from the palace balcony with a relived sigh. Hopefully the rest of her people would be coming home soon... in the meantime she had to talk to a few people....*

Tomas, who's been acting as a Vice Mashall for most of the event,
follows out behind her, he seems to have a very happy Nee in his arms and is talking to one of his Company Commanders...
"Well, remember to label things when you find them, like street location...or at least use the map grid...yes...I' know...well set up a rotation between the platoons....Yes, I want at least an entire company to act as MP's...keep them freindly, an nothing stronger than cider...tell them a Crawford said so..."
He looks at Eris...
"Well, Resi seems to have pulled our butts out of the fire on this...although I have a bad feeling of what he's going to ask for that in return..."
He looks out across the square and nuzzles the bunny...

"Well, Resi seems to have pulled our butts out of the fire on this...although I have a bad feeling of what he's going to ask for that in return..."
He looks out across the square and nuzzles the bunny...Resi taps Tomas on the shoulder.
"Ummm... didn't you know I was right behind you?"
He scratches the bunny behind the ears.
"Besides, I'm not about to ask for anything in return. All that matters is we survived."

He looks at Eris...
"Well, Resi seems to have pulled our butts out of the fire on this...although I have a bad feeling of what he's going to ask for that in return..."
He looks out across the square and nuzzles the bunny...*She turns and looks at Tomas with a soft smile*

He sacrifices a lot to protect my nation. I owe him a lot in return...

*She steps towards him and pets Nee for a moment before leaning over and kissing Tomas's cheek*

Thank you for your help as well, don't think I didn't notice Tomas. Your always welcome in my nation, and so are your people if you ever need help. I can't always offer a lot but I can do what I can

Resi taps Tomas on the shoulder.
"Ummm... didn't you know I was right behind you?"
He scratches the bunny behind the ears.
"Besides, I'm not about to ask for anything in return. All that matters is we survived."

*She smiles at Jai and moves back to the edge of the balcony*

I need to talk to you Jai...

"Ummm... didn't you know I was right behind you?"
He scratches the bunny behind the ears.
"Besides, I'm not about to ask for anything in return. All that matters is we survived."

"Ah well, then your a better man than most, Jai Resi. Most men, especially after being forced through that would want to demand something for their troubles. It surprising how few men of power are that noble. And I've been listening to this bunny's tummy growl and try to keep my naval commander and marine commander from having a duel at 20 paces in the middle of a battle. God, I wish Mav were here, no one talks back to her..."
He shifts and leans against the railing...
"Ah watch it, she's hungry....anyone see some live pray around here?"

He watches the couple walk away, his heart in his stomach....

*She smiles at Jai and moves back to the edge of the balcony*

I need to talk to you Jai...Jai raises an eyebrow. He walks up next to Eris, and asks, "What is it, Eris dear?"

He watches the couple walk away, his heart in his stomach....OOC: Awww... :cry:

Hey, for all you know, she could be rejecting me. And that's good... for you... I guess...
*sighs*

*She looks out over the square as people start milling about and tilts her head. They were all so relived to be alive and free still. Without looking at him she speaks to Jai*

What you did for me cost you Jai... I didn't want that to happen. Others came to my aide but you were the one who took the brunt of everything. I want to thank you for that. I've never had someone do something like that for me and not be angery afterwards. Most people think I'm too much trouble to deal with........ and they're right you know.... but I'm just happy my people are still free....

*She leans on the railing and closes her eyes*

"I've enjoyed every second I've spent with you," Jai said while he walked up to the railing next to Eris, "Trust me, you aren't too much trouble to be with. As of cost, let us not speak of that. The benefits of the survival of our people outway any cost. Besides," he said with a smile, now looking at Eris, "What kind of friend slash suitor would I be if I didn't help you out?"

Tomas is trying very hard not to listen in to this conversation...
"Hey! Nee see the rat...yeah...that rat over there....go get the rat...yeah...go get the rat....good girl"
I'm going to go to the bathroom now, yes good idea...bathroom...then perhaps tibet...or timbuktu...or perhaps the moon, I hear the moon is lovely this time of year.

Washu couldn't help but feel sorry for Tomas. He was doing such a good job of hiding his greif, but she could feel his inner pain.

"I've enjoyed every second I've spent with you," Jai said while he walked up to the railing next to Eris, "Trust me, you aren't too much trouble to be with. As of cost, let us not speak of that. The benefits of the survival of our people outway any cost. Besides," he said with a smile, now looking at Eris, "What kind of friend slash suitor would I be if I didn't help you out?"((omg... *feels soooo bad for Tomas. Gets sheepish*))
*She opens her eyes and looks to Jai with a small smile. She wasn't sure how to say any of this so she just let things fall out of her mouth*

I'm just not used to this I guess. Its been a long time since anyone paid any attention to me, and suddenly it seeme like half the world had their eyes on me. Jai....

*With one hand on the railing of the balcony she reaches up and touches Jai's face with the other, running her thumb down his cheek softly*

I think you've won at least one battle today. You've won me...

Tomas knew...he could hear still...
Oh well, time to get this over with then
He walked over to the black box (that has been patiently waiting around for so long) And began to type in the celestial bodies, the unit began to hum, then shiver...and float into the air...now it had one very large bright light...where the north star was located.
He waited for a moment, give the couple a moment before they have to face her

((OOC: eep! I'm afraid to ask LOL))

OOC: *blink blink*
I go to make a cup o' tea, and while I'm gone ALL THIS happens? Dang, do I ever feel sorry for Tomas... :(
If I were him, I would've invested in some earplugs before now.
IC:
Jai is totally taken by surprise, and almost stumbles off the edge of the balcony when he hears this.
"Talk, dammit!" he thinks, "You have a mouth, use it!"
After his body finally decides to work, he takes Eris' hand. A tear runs down his cheak as he begins to talk.
"Eris... I... I've never been happier than I am right now. Oh, how I've longed to hear you say that you love me, and now... it's like a dream... I simply don't care what the rest of the world or the next thinks, I love you more than life itself..."
He looks deep into Eris' eyes lovingly.
"Unlike the rest of the world, I've only got eyes for you."

OOC: Oh a tea drinker are you...at least I lost to one of my fellows...

IC: Tomas is looking at the ceiling, the box appears to be causing odd little cresents of light around the room...they appear and vanish quickly...
the light is starting to blink...slowly...

Washu looks up at him.
"That's some kind of laptop you've got there..."

He looks deep into Eris' eyes lovingly.
"Unlike the rest of the world, I've only got eyes for you."*she whipes away his tear and smiles at him warmly*

Jai... what you did for me and my nation I could never forget. That means the world to me... and so do you. I love you.

*she leans up and kisses his lips tenderly, and squeezes his hand*

Tomas is looking at the ceiling, the box appears to be causing odd little cresents of light around the room...they appear and vanish quickly...
the light is starting to blink...slowly...

*The Fnord Handler blinks a bit*

What's that?


*She/he/it moves over to stand near Tomas*
http://www.cybersluagh.com/ErisKallisti/fnord.jpg

Washu looks up at him.
"That's some kind of laptop you've got there..."

He looks at Washu...
"Washu...unless you want to meet the mother of the bride, leave"

The box is starting to rotate slowly and the odd lights are larger and bigger, but they are not lights...they are like sudden reflections within the air itself...

*Eris -seems- blissfully unaware of what's going on right now*

He looks at Washu...
"Washu...unless you want to meet the mother of the bride, leave"

The box is starting to rotate slowly and the odd lights are larger and bigger, but they are not lights...they are like sudden reflections within the air itself...
*The Fnord handler gets a little wide-eyed but doesn't move*

OOC: I'm waiting for Resi to kiss back here...

Tomas takes the box, well pushes, it out toward the couple...
I don't want to do this, but it's my duty...and Athena's promise...*uh* well it's not me at least...

He just takes a glance at the two women...
bleb

"Oooohhh crap..." Washu says. She then grabs Daniel and high-tails it out of the palace. She tries empathicly to warn Jai, but his mind is clogged with romantic thoughts and he isn't quite open to any thoughts other than ones that relate directly to Eris.
------------------------------------
In the meantime, Jai is yet again mentally stunned (I would say "poor guy", but he won Eris' heart) and can do nothing but kiss Eris back. He then reaches up with his free hand and runs his fingers through Eris' hair playfully.
"My Goddess, I never want this night to end..."

He too is completely unaware of the certain doom coming to be inside the palace.

OOC: Not doom but then again...not good either...for son-in law...

Tomas just looks at them...
Well, here it goes...
He pushes the blinking button, the unit starts to fly and a bubble quickly forms of shifting wavy lines surrounding Jai, Eris, Tomas, and the fnod handler....then stars begin to appear....in place of walls or tables....

The group finds themselves on a surface of black and white marble...there are no walls, just the darkness of space with millions of stars around them.
At each corner burns a bright lamp set in a stand about 5 feet high...
At the far end from the group, or behind Tomas to Eris and Jai is a raised platform with several levels...On the middle one stand two large glowing spheres and at the top stands a great chair of marble and a gateway behind it...there is a sound from behind the gateway...

*The Fnord Handler glances at Tomas, sticking close to him and wishing Callisto and Nia were here suddenly. Her/his/it's eyes dart to the gateway*

......

*Eris breaks to kiss and looks around, turning and pulling Jai behind her*

what the hell! Great...

*She huffed a little*

"Wow, I felt like I was in a whole other world, but I didn't think we actually were!" Jai says, and wonders aloud, "What is this place?"

From the doorway walks a woman, or really a Goddess. Her hair is black with a harsh nose and face...and eyes that are as black and pitless as the deapths of space...
Her voice, doesn't really seem to come from her...but from the surrounding cosmos...

"Tomas, of the house of Athena, you have come as ordered...we shall talk when this buisness is done."
She looks at her daughter below
"Eris, daughter of my house, Goddess of Chaos and Discord...you have decided to take a mortal as your consort...is this not true?"

She sits, her eyes seem to bore strait into you.

****Tomas pulls himself and the attendents aside****
He wispers..."don't interfere...this isn't our buisness"

*She keeps Jai behind her, gripping his hand*

... don't ask....

*He'd find out soon enough*

"...I won't, trust me..."
Jai waits for the Goddess to speak to him. He doesn't want to enrage her by speaking out of turn. What a nasty faux pas that'd be...

She looks at her daughter below
"Eris, daughter of my house, Goddess of Chaos and Discord...you have decided to take a mortal as your consort...is this not true?"

She sits, her eyes seem to bore strait into you.
*She gives a slightly sheepish smile to her mother and shrugs*

Hi mom... umm... yeah. I guess you could say that.

*She's gonna attempt to keep Jai firmly behind her still*

****Tomas pulls himself and the attendents aside****
He wispers..."don't interfere...this isn't our buisness"

*The Fnord handler looks a bit worried and speaks quietly to Tomas*

ummm ok... shit. I still wanna see what's going on though damnit

She looks at her daughter below
"Eris, daughter of my house, Goddess of Chaos and Discord...you have decided to take a mortal as your consort...is this not true?"

She sits, her eyes seem to bore strait into you.
*She gives a slightly sheepish smile to her mother and shrugs*

Hi mom... umm... yeah. I guess you could say that.

*She's gonna attempt to keep Jai firmly behind her still*

"Do not, High mom me Eris. Too many of demi-gods have wrought rain and ruin upon the planet you call home. I may no longer dwell there, but no woman of my house will marry a mortal without my consent. And if you dare interfere I will bring all of olympus and Hades upon you both...
Stand before me, Jai Resi...my son holds you in low regard."

Tomas looks at her/him with fustration
"Where would you like to watch this from, maybe go right up to her and poke her in the eye...go where you want you crazed bleb but don't walk over the edge...unless you want to experience the depths of the Void."

*She gives a slightly sheepish smile to her mother and shrugs*

Hi mom... umm... yeah. I guess you could say that.

*She's gonna attempt to keep Jai firmly behind her still* "Do not, High mom me Eris. Too many of demi-gods have wrought rain and ruin upon the planet you call home.

Stand before me, Jai Resi...my son holds you in low regard."

*She furrows her brow and bites her lip. Why this... why now... gah.. she slowly lets go of Jai's hand*

... you never let me have any fun anymore

*She mumbles, desperately wishing Ares would come out of his stupor. She could really use his backing in this*


Tomas looks at her/him with fustration
"Where would you like to watch this from, maybe go right up to her and poke her in the eye...go where you want you crazed bleb but don't walk over the edge...unless you want to experience the depths of the Void."

*The Fnord Handler crossess her/his/it's arms*

sor-ry... geeze... you think I'm not used to nothingness? I used to live there... where doyou think we get fnords from anyway.... and watch who your calling a crazed bleb....

*The Fnord Handler frowns*

*At this point... somewhere outside, more people are being brought back. The officals head up the stairs of the palace. Nia Starr and Callisto freeze in their tracks mid-step, senseing something going on*

Nia: uh-oh....

*She starts to run up the stairs but Callisto grabs her shoulder and shakes her head*

Callisto: Wait... I think its best we all stay out here for now

*The rest of the officals look wairy but nod in agreement*

Tomas just looks at her...
"Well do you see any better place to get a veiw...hmm, I do....

Will you two shut the hell up or I should bond you to each other for all eternity!

She is anoyed at Jai Resi's timidness...

*******
Back in the palace, there is nothing in the room where Eris and Jai were...well nothing out of place...just empty...with scattered chairs and what have you...and a glowing white sphere that burns almost in the center of the room...

Tomas just looks at her...

... I guess there could be worse fates.....

*She/he/it says -very- -very- quietly*

*******

*Nia and Callisto look at eachother after a moment then send the other officals to their offices that are not within the palace. The two women head inside. Carefully inspecting the sphere the two woman get a bit frustrated*

Nia: this doesn't look good....

Emporer waiting at his post in the Grand House of Representatives, looking at the teleprompt is awaiting connection. He pushes his intercom button on the phone on his podium.

"Find out if there is a bad connection. Why is there a delay in connection?"

All members in the House now stand.

Tomas looks at the woman with spiky hair...he just realized that the Vamp bunny seemed intrested in climbing up the platform stairs...
"Ah, just incase...who or what are you...and are you female?" He wispers...
****
Nyx smirks at him...
Athena's boy alright, always trying to see all the options ahead of time Tomas, be quite this instant
****
The sphere is not happy with people trying to look at it...so it starts showing brilliant...mezmorizing patterns that are designed to make the onlooker sleepy...very sleepy...

Being a Fnord Handler had its perks...being anything she/he/it wanted was just one of them... though it tended to confuse people*

****
The sphere is not happy with people trying to look at it...so it starts showing brilliant...mezmorizing patterns that are designed to make the onlooker sleepy...very sleepy...*Nia Starr yawns and slumps in a chair and shrugs at Callisto*

Nia: I guess things seem to be alright.... maybe we should just wait and see what happens

*Nia yawns, covering her mouth, and her eyes getting droopy. Callisto seems to be handling it better, but she does look a little tired*

Callisto: Guess your right Nia...

*Callisto leans against a nearby pillar*

Now the sphere starts to seem less and less bright, it's color go more toward looking viloet...until it can no longer be seen my the human eye...


OOC: It's still there, just emmiting light at around 320nm or low UV, so anyone looking a a peice of paper is going to get a headache and wonder why the room is flashing blue.

"Connection made sire."

"Empress, the Nation of Phyrric has placed itself into a position of conflict over the suitor incident and has supported one of your choices.

Now that the terms have been sought in a fairly quick manner and appears not to have been well thought out, our Nation has been shamed by one of your choices that stands with you there today. Our alliance system has been notified and was prepared for war...our own very Nation had mobilized costing billions. A war that surrender under negative terms and benefits the enemies of Phyrric and her allies in UNAOTO was unacceptable to the very least. We can no longer support the union between Resi and Eris. Your Nation was safe, with or without the surrender."

One by one, all members of the House turn their backs with knowledge that Resi is present and an act of international betrayal. Screen fades to black with the Emporer facing screen and transmission ends.

OOC: A Phyric who are you speaking to? They are not in any reachable location, unless you have transdimentional communication devices that have the setting 'nowhere, yet everywhere." If you don't want that, then just say it's blocked by static...our you could record the message I guess.

OOC: Man, I should've known not to leave in the middle of this...
IC:
Jai steps forward, and bows gacously.
"I am Jai Resi, CEO of the Resi Corporation. But of course, you already knew that. It's a pleasure to meet you, one who could bring up such a fine woman as Eris. May I be so bold as to ask two questions of your omnipotence?"

OOC: Man, I should've known not to leave in the middle of this...
IC:
Jai steps forward, and bows gacously.
"I am Jai Resi, CEO of the Resi Corporation. But of course, you already knew that. So, may I be permitted to ask two questions of your omnipotence?"

You dare to be so bold, Jai Resi? You shall ask me what you want. I shall answer if I so desire. But it is your choices here that decide your fate.

She eyes the Vamp bunny, who decides to high tail it back to her master.

edit: wrong pronoun

*Alex, who has been watching the screen records everything*

What? Crap... looks like we lost and ally in this mess.... damnit....

*He tries tocontact Eris, but she seems unreachable. Disturbed by this he tries to contact the Fnord Handler... who also seems... unreachable*

Gah! where is everyone?!

*He sets the ground troops who are still milling about on high alert and contacts Nia Starr*

Nia! What's going on! where is everyone? Where's the Empress?!

*Nia blinks a few times coming out of her sleep and groggly answers her com unit*

Alex?... to be honest... I'm not sure. There's something going on here in the main hall. I'm thinking its one oftheother Gods doing... I take it Ares is still out of it?

*Alex grumbles and looks to Ares*

Seems that way... shit... keep meupdated andgo check out the view screen there... there's something I think you should see...

*he plays the recording for Nia*

Aw damnit... figures.... We'll have to do something once Eris comes back from where ever she is... this doesn't sound good.

((OOC: it hasn't been annouced publicly that Eris has chosen Jai yet))

You dare to be so bold, Jai Resi? You shall ask me what you want. I shall answer if I so desire. But it is your choices here that decide your fate.*Eris frowns and steps up to stand next to Jai*

Mother, he's trying to be poliet. What's with all the theatrics? I'm a big girl you know.

*She crosses her arms*

This is between me and Jai Resi, you have made your choice. But you do not get special treatment


*****
Tomas waits,
O.k. she needs to not get her mother mad, since this is Olympian law...oh s*** she doesn't know!

This is between me and Jai Resi, you have made your choice. But you do not get special treatment *She blinks looking rather confused... and odd look for her*

What? What are you talking about....

Tomas waits,
O.k. she needs to not get her mother mad, since this is Olympian law...oh s*** she doesn't know!*The Fnord Handler shifts it's wieght and mumbles a little. What was going on? It wasn't used to being compleatly confused like this. It looked to Tomas questioningly*

((gave up on the whole her/his/its hehe I'm a slacker))

*She blinks looking rather confused... and odd look for her*

What? What are you talking about....
What am I talking about, too many demi-gods have plunged your world into Chaos...of course you should like that...but the rest of old gods did not...a Rule was passed demanding that any person to marry a God was to past the Test. It is Jai Resi's turn to pass it.
Considering your response to your own illegitimite neice, I am suprised at your problem with this matter.


*The Fnord Handler shifts it's wieght and mumbles a little. What was going on? It wasn't used to being compleatly confused like this. It looked to Tomas questioningly*

Tomas just looked back at her/it...

OOC: I need to hit the sack soon :( Resi never seems to sleep and yet he isn't around now? edit: shoot typo bugs with ignore cannon

OOC: Hey, I have to make dinner sometime.
IC: "If it means winning the hand of Eris, I am more than up to any test," Jai said, "But, ummm... do you mind telling me where we are, exactly?"

You are nowhere, and everywhere...Your scientific termonlogy does not yet have a true definition of this place. You may consider it a interdimential space generated during the 'Big Bang' a place where space time does not behave as even your Washu thinks. There is no time here, but what I decides pass. And no, your electronic devices are usless since they would never escape the Void below you.

Now then, are you ready for the test

OOC: sorry about complaining....

Well that's why I'm still on earth... the more chaos the more happy I am. Just don't kill him, ok.....

Tomas just looked back at her/it...*It blinked a few times at him then smiled slightly and looked away. First looking down at its feet, then looking back to Eris*

*Eris looked from her mother to Jai and shifted her wieght. She didn't like the sound of this... when it cameto other Gods/Goddesses she was slightly at a loss. There was no reading their chaos patterns... not that she couldn't effect them... she just couldn't read the outcome nearly as well*

Now then, are you ready for the test

OOC: sorry about complaining....IC: "Yes," Jai says, determined, "Yes I am."

OOC: Meh, it's k. Just don't expect too much out of me right now.

*She frowned and touched Jai's shoulder*

You don't have to do this if you don't want to Jai... Its not to late to turn back....

OOC: Well read this post carefully...

The balls of light start to show objects. On Jai's right it shows two small spindles with a thread running through them. On the left is a completely diffrent object.
http://eng.auburn.edu/users/donatgw/dread.jpg

In the right, is your gift if you chose to marry Eris.
On the left, is your gift if you do not. The plans for a grav ship more powerful than you have ever seen, enough to smash your enemy Melkor, and the return of you wife Halley to the mortal realm. These are your choices Jai Resi...take one by your hands, no one may now speak until the choice is made

The room becomes still almost as if sound itself were impossible.

OOC: The floor will generate a opostise wave for any noise you make, so you can talk, but it won't leave your own head.

*She positively -glares- at her mother and mouthed the words "how could you" to her. Her Strife side kicking in once more as her temper flared. What a mess... Crossing her arms tightly she shook her head and glanced at Jai briefly before looking away again....*

*The Fnord Handler smirks slightly and giggles mentaly. Oh wow... what a perfect test. It glances from Nyx to Eris, then to Jai for a moment. Slowly her eyes went back to Tomas though*

((OOC: omg! your horrible LOL I love it))

OOC: Machiavelli takes a bow in the stands...

OOC: Uuuuhhhh. I followed the link here. Daniel seems to have pulled an Ares. Thank goodness for Washu. Suppose this a party of three now. Heh...heh. ::makes a complete exit this time::

OOC: Uuuuhhhh. I followed the link here. Daniel seems to have pulled an Ares. Thank goodness for Washu. Suppose this a party of three now. Heh...heh. ::makes a complete exit this time::((OOC: well if your still interested in the party RP your wellcome to stay. this part shouldn't take too long))

OOC: Ok. I wasn't sure if it was open or not. lol. Gah! Baka = ME! :P :roll:

*She frowned and touched Jai's shoulder*

You don't have to do this if you don't want to Jai... Its not to late to turn back...."Nope, if I'm going to be with you, I have to at least be worthy in your mother's eyes."

Jai raises an eyebrow at the gravship.
"Bah! Give us 10 years, and we'll have one of those anyway. Or at least something close. You know me well, but not well enough. Besides, some Gravship, no matter how shiney and powerful it is, is ultimately a weapon of destruction. I'd take Eris over that any day."
He walks confidently over to the spindle.
"So, what's next? Or was that it?"

Daniel and Washu run into a very fustrated young woman, who is the previously mentioned Commadore Edwards.
"Ah has anyone seen the Empress. I need to go appoligize...for my earlier behavior."

OOC: Ok. I wasn't sure if it was open or not. lol. Gah! Baka = ME! :P :roll:OOC: *sings Akana's Baka song*
Une dai oh onne, dae oh baka baka baka baka baka ba...

Naw, seriously, don't be so hard on yourself.

OOC: Cracks fingers....taptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptap...... (I'm such a loser...who likes these damn dots......)

"Uh..." Daniel says, looking at Washu, then back to the woman. "I think she's a bit busy right now. To say the least."

OOC: *sings Akana's Baka song*
Une dai oh onne, dae oh baka baka baka baka baka ba...

Naw, seriously, don't be so hard on yourself.

OOC: Lol! I'm not, just playin'. :D 8) ::sings Akana's Baka song::

*She uncrossed her arms and stared at Jai as he grabbed for the spindle... whoah... her expression changed to one that was almost shock. Not knowing how to respond, or even if she could, she stood there. After a long few moments her eyes flickered to her mother*

"She's kinda busy at the moment..." Washu says, "... with Goddess-type stuff. In other words, it's probably not a good idea for any mortal to be in the same room as her. Man, do i ever feel sorry for Jai."

OOC: Remember, Washu got the heck out of there before everyone in the room disappeared, so she has no idea that they're gone.

Man, I wish I kept her in there... I coulda had some good RP. Meh, hindsight is 20/20. :?

*She frowned and touched Jai's shoulder*

You don't have to do this if you don't want to Jai... Its not to late to turn back...."Nope, if I'm going to be with you, I have to at least be worthy in your mother's eyes."

Jai raises an eyebrow at the gravship.
"Bah! Give us 10 years, and we'll have one of those anyway. Or at least something close. You know me well, but not well enough. Besides, some Gravship, no matter how shiney and powerful it is, is ultimately a weapon of destruction. I'd take Eris over that any day."
He walks confidently over to the spindle.
"So, what's next? Or was that it?"

I am impressed, only one before you has passed the test, his offspring looks upon us now. The tread is your life Jai Resi, as any man who marries us, you know live under our Laws. If that string is broken by anyone, you will die. The Fates have no control over you, but a mad wife with a pair of sissors will do just as well.
She smiles at him
Now for you two...what is your name, creature of the void? And what makes you hide behind Tomas, is he your protector...or do you fancy him as much as that demon rodent he carries with him?

"She's kinda busy at the moment..." Washu says, "... with Goddess-type stuff. In other words, it's probably not a good idea for any mortal to be in the same room as her. Man, do i ever feel sorry for Jai."

Man, I wish I kept her in there... I coulda had some good RP. Meh, hindsight is 20/20. :?

"You could say that again," Daniel agreed. "Jai usually seems to get the brunt of things. So take Washu's advice and steer clear. Its probably getting ugly right now. Whatever is happening there." Of course, he has no idea what is going on but can only guess.

I am impressed, only one before you has passed the test, his offspring looks upon us now. The tread is your life Jai Resi, as any man who marries us, you know live under our Laws. If that string is broken by anyone, you will die. The Fates have no control over you, but a mad wife with a pair of sissors will do just as well.*Eris moves closer to Jai and snorts with a smirk*

Scissors? Don't you think I'd be more creative then that? Think chainsaw.

*She chuckles softly*

Now for you two...what is your name, creature of the void? And what makes you hide behind Tomas, is he your protector...or do you fancy him as much as that demon rodent he carries with him?*The Fnord Handler blinks at Nyx and stepsout slowly from behind Tomas*

I am the eternal shifter. A fnord given shape, everything and nothing at once... I have no name.

*She glances at Tomas for a moment then back to Nyx, not sure how to answer that question though*

I don't know....

Gah, child...you must decide what you want...as you are of the Void, I am it's most powerful child. I ask this because you will only have this chance, either you must chose him now...or wonder what it would be like not to know. I must have a champion, you may either be his, or remain as you are.
She turns towards Eris...
Why didn't you give this poor thing a name? Sometimes your desire for confusion overtakes common sense.

Tomas thinks...
Well, I knew I was doomed...but what's the whole making me a side of beef? Okay, note to self, having multiple sexual partners in college tends to get women wanting your hide. Tell children, if you have any...

She smiles at him"Note to self: never piss Eris off. But I knew that already..."
*Jai blinks*
"Wow, so that was it? That wasn't hard at all! And here I thought I'd have to answer some insanely hard riddle or something."
Jai, suddenly realizing what he just said, claped his hand over his mouth.
"Errr... can we all just forget I said that?"

*Eris moves closer to Jai and snorts with a smirk*

Scissors? Don't you think I'd be more creative then that? Think chainsaw.

*She chuckles softly**Jai's eye twitches*

"PLEASE tell me you were joking!" Jai said.
It was more of a plea than a demand. :P

She turns towards Eris...
Why didn't you give this poor thing a name? Sometimes your desire for confusion overtakes common sense.*It blinked getting a little wide-eye and looked over to Tomas again*

I...I.. He.. *She looks back to Nyx quickly* I can't chose someone I barely know. I like him... he's extreamly nice, and incredibly careing *and very cute*... but he wants Eris.... not me.

*Eris shrugged at her mother* The thought never occured to me actualy. It always seemed content not to have a name

*Eris moves closer to Jai and snorts with a smirk*

Scissors? Don't you think I'd be more creative then that? Think chainsaw.

*She chuckles softly**Jai's eye twitches*

"PLEASE tell me you were joking!" Jai said.
It was more of a plea than a demand. :P*She chuckles softly again and reaches out to scruff his hair a little*

I'm playing Jai... geeze... *her head tilts* though... best not to piss me off just to be safe *she winks*

*She chuckles softly again and reaches out to scruff his hair a little*

I'm playing Jai... geeze... *her head tilts* though... best not to piss me off just to be safe *she winks*"Awww... I'd never piss you off if I can help it. At the very least, it'd mean risking loosing you, and I couldn't live with myself if that happened."

*She leaned up and kissed his cheek*

well good then. I'll keep that in mind as long as you do

*She leaned up and kissed his cheek*

well good then. I'll keep that in mind as long as you do"Heh, it's no problem, especially when it means being with a woman like you."
He leans over towards her and tickles the side of her neck.
"It's no problem at all..."

Gah, child...you must decide what you want...as you are of the Void, I am it's most powerful child. I ask this because you will only have this chance, either you must chose him now...or wonder what it would be like not to know. I must have a champion, you may either be his, or remain as you are.

I...I.. He.. *She looks back to Nyx quickly* I can't chose someone I barely know. I like him... he's extreamly nice, and incredibly careing *and very cute*... but he wants Eris.... not me.

*Eris shrugged at her mother* The thought never occured to me actualy. It always seemed content not to have a name

Ah, but you see...you do know him?...my dear creature...why are you attracted to him? What makes him love Eris, are the qualties you possess, except for not being a woman. You can't compete with someone who is...well, if you want him...you can have him.
Throws other sphere at Tomas, catching him inside...he seems to float with various shapes around him. She walks over, picks up the Vamp bunny and tosses it inside, the bunny is kicking and trying to bite into her.

All Aboard, say goodbye to Tomas, he'll be waking up 180 years before now...you might meet him again, Crawford do live a long time, although that is a bit of a streach even for them.
She begins to bounce the ball, smiling...

*She squirmed slight and smiled at Jai. Her hand reached out and she interlaced her fingers with his. Idley she wondered about why he hadn't chosen the other option... did he really care for her that much? The Gravships -and- his deceased wife back.... She blinked a little and squeezed his hand before looking back to her mother*

Mother... what about his wife.... can she pass on now? I hate to think of her sitting around in pergatory forever.

*ok... maybe she shouldn't have said anything at all, but she -had- to ask before Nyx left. Nyx was the only one who could say one way or another*

Hmm, oh the Resi woman? Really that whole operation is under the guidence of the Userper, but she has another year to go before she can pass to the mountain, if I understand Charon correctly. He really was just trying to see how Jai would react about those he loved, more than anything. Jai just pushed his buttons unfortunatly, or perhaps they did to each other. I don't interfere much with his operation.

She begins to bounce the ball, smiling...*The Fnord Handler furrows its brow and shakes its head in almost a sudden panic*

NO! let him out!

*It heads towards Nyx and a bubble forms in its hand*

Take me instead.

*Eris whirls and blinks at the fnord handler's yell... damn fnords and their wierd notions. Thats about the same time she heard Nyx as well*

Eris: What?! No! Niether of them! don't take either. Their my friends!

*She frowns*

My dear, I must move now to stop Melkor, and I must have either Jai Resi or Tomas Crawford to do it.
A sudden change occurs upon the floor, as the handler crosses the floor, she seems to be making no actual progress...she is stuck in the same relative postion to eveyone else, even though see is obviously moving.

Enough of this foolishness child...this is your last chance....

Jai just now notices that Tomas has been swallowed up by the bubble.
"Please, let Tomas out! Although he and I haven't got along that well, he still doesn't deserve to be imprisoned like that! He's a good guy, a little crude at times, but there's nothing really wrong with that."

Enough of this foolishness child...this is your last chance....*It furrowed its brow in frustration and suddenly fell to its knees on the ground, realizing there was just no getting any closer. It looked at the fnord in its hand, the bubbly thing changed shape and color constantly*

... I don't understand....

*It looked up suddenly, letting the fnord fall. At first it bounced once, then itturned into mush on the floor. almost immediatly it stared to take a differant shape, then something else again. Fnords were like that*

Yes... yes I care, yes I want to be with him... but what does that change? you still want to take him away

*Eris squeezed Jai's hand and watched curiously. She hoped Nyx wouldn't change Tomas into an owl... she'd seen that done before too... hmm..*

"Besides," Jai said, now attempting to reason, "We're going at this all wrong. If we want to defeat Melkor, we have to weaken the Dominion. I'll need Tomas if I am to do this, as his diplomatic skills will come in handy."

He turned to Eris and clasped her hand in both of his, and began to speak more gently, "We have to work together on this. All three of us, and as many others as we can find."

*Eris nods in agreement with Jai*

Jai is right... its not just Melkor we're fighting here... its more then that

I am offering you to go with him, he's not being banished from this world, only to it's past. He must begin laying the ground work, for a force capable of holding up against Melkor must be begun. Unfortunatly, you must be a mortal female my dear, I must have the blood of Athena in your offspring if this is to work. Your powers will be intact, except you will be a female human, flesh and blood.

She laughs...Tomas will die, but so old that it will be a joke. The curse the Fates placed upon him will be like a sheild against old age, and death She looks at all of them...
I wish It could be another way Eris my dear, but you see...Melkor has grown even stronger, from the conflict, I can not decapitate Alcona for that might mean disaster. No this is the only way, the Lords of War must be led by a Crawford

Jai is silent. He knew that this was a good idea from a tactical standpoint, but the sacrifice that would have to be made by Tomas was unbareable.
"We can't fight Melkor directly," Jai said solemnly, "but we can give our army to you. That way, you'll have two nations' armies in one, and all this going back to the past stuff would be unneccesary."

Jai, that is the point, one of you must begin the work to construct those things which will stop him...and soon. Your cash is right now building an even greater danger than Melkor was. Two armies...I have no armies by dear boy...I only do this to save Eris and the rest.

OOC: Basicly I'm Rping someone other than my own nation, who's out to save a dying civilization, to save you.

OOC: Sorry, to Interrupt, but may I cut in when you get back? I've been following this for a while, now.

No this is the only way, the Lords of War must be led by a Crawford*It furrowed its eyebrows and stood slowly. First it looked at Tomas trapped inside the bubble, then after a long few moments it looked to Eris with a pleading look*

Only you can set me free Eris, you made me what I am... Summon another Fnord to take my place... please.... I'll watch out for Tomas...

*Eris tilts her head slightly after listening to everything. No expression on her face. She looked at the handler and nods slowly after a few long minutes of contiplation*

Alright.... Go then. I release you to Nyx and Tomas's care

*She looks up at Nyx*

The Fnord Handler normaly can't be away from me for long, but I'm assuming you'll change it now so it can leave. Its fate is with you know. I'll find another

*Eris stretches out her hand to the fnord that the handler had dropped, and it travels accross the ground towards her. Bouncing off the floor it lands in her free hand*

Is there anything you need mother? anything else at all?

OOC: Sorry, to Interrupt, but may I cut in when you get back? I've been following this for a while, now.((OOC: sure thing *grins* the more the merrier! hehe))

she isn't a Fnord Handler of a Fnord any longer, my dear...
The Fnord handler vanishes and then reappears, she is dressed somewhat the same with an odd look in her eyes. My dear, meet Cathrine Eris Fnordman, your god child....Cathrine is absorbed by the bubble as it wisks off into the darkness around them.
Don't worry, they'll be happy...and safe, The Lords of War must have a leader who can rebuild them, or perish. As for you two, I have enough grandsons, I want grandaughters! I have the cosmos to run, so good bye...I might show up for the wedding, if you don't invite your father.

The whole galaxy around them explodes as the place vanishes, they find themselves back in the room they had left...the box lays on the floor near them.

As they arrive, there is a clapping sound from the doorway. At first it is unclear who stands there, but then the man steps into the light, still clapping. He wears an extremely expensive black suit, which seems not to fit his image at all. The man is tall, dark, and handsome, with black hair and the look of someone who hasn't shaven in a few day. He looks almost youthful and his visage seem surprisingly similar to that of a story-book pirate, even with the suit.

The thought that the first words out of his mouth should be, "Arrr, me matey," is very powerful in the minds of those watching, but these are not his words. "That was a bloody good show," John Silver says smiling. His voice and pronunciation also seem to propagate the image of a pirate, even if his wording that of an educated person. "Jai Resi, I thought I would find you here. Although, I must say didn't think you would have made such a spectacular arrival."

OOC: Erp, sorry, I left for a bit to make a new nation for RPing purposes. Looks like I have a bit of catching up to do...

"Washu," Daniel says, "maybe we should go check on them. Make sure everything is alright."

*Eris was standing there blinking a bit, still holding onto Jai's hand when she heard the other man and turned to look at him. Her eyes darted around the room, noting where Callisto and Nia had seemingly fallen asleep. The fnord had vannished from her hand... instead there stood a blinking androgenous human at her side opisite of Jai. The human looked at Eris, bowed and moved to a chair to sit... she'd talk to it later. her eyes went to the new person again*

I don't belive I know you....

OOC: Oops. Posted too late.

John Silver doesn't wait for the reply, he walks forward and extends his hand to Eris. "The names, Silver. John Silver," he says still smiling charmingly. "Your friend, here. Mr. Resi knows me as the president of the CoVar Corporation. Good friends. Been with him, since the start of the Corporate Islands."

"Washu," Daniel says, "maybe we should go check on them. Make sure everything is alright.""I'm afraid to look," Washu replied, "I wonder if Jai is still alive? Well, I guess there's only one way to find out."
She takes Daniel's hand and heads for the room.

((OOC: LOL we all keep getting mixed up hehe))

A tall muscular man in a suit, now stands outside the door as Daniel and Washu approach.

John Silver doesn't wait for the reply, he walks forward and extends his hand to Eris. "The names, Silver. John Silver," he says still smiling charmingly. "Your friend, here. Mr. Resi knows me as the president of the CoVar Corporation. Good friends. Been with him, since the start of the Corporate Islands."*She glances at Jai then to John*

oh... hello then. I'm Eris

*She's still a little dazed from everything that had happened. Slowly she extended her freehand to him*

John Silver doesn't wait for the reply, he walks forward and extends his hand to Eris. "The names, Silver. John Silver," he says still smiling charmingly. "Your friend, here. Mr. Resi knows me as the president of the CoVar Corporation. Good friends. Been with him, since the start of the Corporate Islands.""Ah, Mr. Silver!" Jai greats him and shakes his hand heartily, "How's life been treating you?"
Jai then turns and explains to Eris, "He's a personal friend. He knew my father before... well, I don't like to talk about that..."

*She nods slowly to Jai and manages a smile*

Alright dear. As long as he's a friend of yours

John shakes both hands with his strong grip. His eyes dart for a second to where Resi and Eris' hands are clasp together, makes some quick deductions and files the information away for later.

"Well, I sorry I couldn't be here for happier reasons, but I am afraid my motives are a bit unfortunate," he states, seeming almost to be ignoring Resi's question. "I'm afraid I'm here on...well...political business."

::vomits in corner::

::walks away::

*She raises an eyebrow slightly*

really... well, we're all here in celebration our freedom. My people should have the party almost underway both outside and in the bomb shelters as well. I personaly need a drink... how about you two?

*She smiles a little and ushers over a serving girl*

::vomits in corner::

::walks away::
((ooc: *files that under file 23 for further refferance and boots him in the ass on the way out* don't like it? don't fookin' read... I'm in no mood for spamers and flamers *grumbles*))

He smiles. "Thank you, I think I will. Scotch neat, for me, please." He thinks for a second. "I am glad to have helped save your people from the clutchs of Melkor. In fact, I arrived by submarine, as my forces were going to, coincidentally. I would be happy to stay for the celebration. When you both have time to talk...privately, I have some more depressing business to attend to."

I'm afraid to look," Washu replied, "I wonder if Jai is still alive? Well, I guess there's only one way to find out."
She takes Daniel's hand and heads for the room.

Daniel nods and let her lead him.

He motions for her to stop as he sees the new guy in the suit talking to Jai and Eris. "Well, Jai is alive. Eris seems calm. There's just this guy..." he says to Washu. "Know him? I don't."

He smiles. "Thank you, I think I will. Scotch neat, for me, please." He thinks for a second. "I am glad to have helped save your people from the clutchs of Melkor. In fact, I arrived by submarine, as my forces were going to, coincidentally. I would be happy to stay for the celebration. When you both have time to talk...privately, I have some more depressing business to attend to."*She tells the serving girl to get their drinks*

I love submaries... most of my fleet consists of them. Depressing? That doesn't sound good... perhaps we should just get it done and over with then.

*She looks to Jai and squeezes his hand a little*

Is that ok with you Jai?

*She orders a few of the other servants to set up a table and chairs on the balcony*

Daniel nods. He motions for her to stop as he sees the new guy in the suit talking to Jai and Eris. "Well, Jai is alive. Eris seems calm. There's just this guy..." he says to Washu. "Know him? I don't.""Hmmm... I don't think I do. Hey, who are you?"

Daniel nods. He motions for her to stop as he sees the new guy in the suit talking to Jai and Eris. "Well, Jai is alive. Eris seems calm. There's just this guy..." he says to Washu. "Know him? I don't.""Hmmm... I don't think I do. Hey, who are you?"((OOC: who are they talking to? the new fnord? hehe))

OOC: Silver I believe...at least that who Daniel was refering to.

He smiles. "Thank you, I think I will. Scotch neat, for me, please." He thinks for a second. "I am glad to have helped save your people from the clutchs of Melkor. In fact, I arrived by submarine, as my forces were going to, coincidentally. I would be happy to stay for the celebration. When you both have time to talk...privately, I have some more depressing business to attend to.""Man," Jai says to Eris, "aside from you choosing me there's been nothing but bad stuff happening today. I guess that means that, when everything's avaraged together, it'll still come out a good day." He turns to Silver, "so what is this news you speak of?"

In the background, a robot tasers the vomiting guy unconcous and drags him away to the backwoods of Eris Kallisti. He then has nanites eat the man's clothes, and drops him in front of a redneck bungalo. The robot walks off, whistling to itself.

Out of a box, that no one noticed, a small furry creature escapes...and runs across the room, It has brown fur, and seems to be quite agressive for a bunny. It has a collar with a card attached that reads

The Lords of War send greetings to you
Empress Eris Kallisti and your future consort Jai Resi
and many happy years together
May you know that we hold you dear, and offer our help when the need
arrises.
Peter II, Overlord of War
Head of the house of Fnordman-Crawford

OOC: Good night all

The man at the door has the appearance off a bodyguard. As Daniel and Washu approach he turns to them. "James Rackham, executive assistant and bodyguard to the President of the CoVar Corporation. May, I help you," he asks.

OOC: Were you talking about John Silver or the guy at the door to the room?

A tall muscular man in a suit, now stands outside the door as Daniel and Washu approach.

"Ahhh, so Covar's here. I'm Washu, Cheif of R&D for the Resi Corporation, and this charming gentleman with me is Prince Daniel of Rastaban, a friend of Jai Resi, Eris Kallisti, and of course myself."

The man at the door has the appearance off a bodyguard. As Daniel and Washu approach he turns to them. "James Rackham, executive assistant and bodyguard to the President of the CoVar Corporation. May, I help you," he asks.

Daniel raised an eyebrow. "Uh, yeah, we were just going to see Jai Resi. If you excuse us...Hey! Is that a rabbit? That's not Tomas' vampire bunny is it?"

In the background, a robot tasers the vomiting guy unconcous and drags him away to the backwoods of Eris Kallisti. He then has nanites eat the man's clothes, and drops him in front of a redneck bungalo. The robot walks off, whistling to itself.((OOC: *dies laughing*))

James Rackham gives them an odd look as they pass him. "Vampire Bunny," he repeats questioningly after they are gone.

Out of a box, that no one noticed, a small furry creature escapes...and runs across the room, It has brown fur, and seems to be quite agressive for a bunny. It has a collar with a card attached that reads

OOC: Good night all

((OOC: G'night! thanks for the great play!))

*She lets go of Jai's handjust long enough to scoop up the bunny and pet it. She then turns to Daniel*

no.. Tomas's bunny was white I belive

*She reads the note and smiles, then hands it to Jai*

Daniel looks at the rabbit again. "Tomas wasn't turned into a rabbit was he?" He asks.

*she motions to the balcony where the servants have set up a table and comfortable chairs*

lets all go sit

*She heads to the balcony, petting the bunny*

John Silver eyes the rabbit suspiciously. "My depressing business concerns the recent conflict over your nation." He nods toward Eris. "And then the entire Corporate Islands." He nods to Resi. "Should I continue." His eyes glance toward Washu and Daniel, and then again fall suspiciously back on the bunny.

In the background James Rackham moves to a position where he can better see Mr. Silver.

"Hmmm..." Washu said, "Well, Tomas certainly isn't here anymore, is he? Where could he have gone to?"
--------------------------------------
Jai scoops up the rabbit, and begins to baby-talk to it while petting it, "Awww... you're such a cute wittle bunny! Come here and play with Uncle Jai!"
He scratches it behind the ears.

A minute later, he looks up to notice everyone is staring at him. "What? I have a soft spot for little cute furry things! There's nothing wrong with that!"

John Silver eyes the rabbit suspiciously. "My depressing business concerns the recent conflict over your nation." He nods toward Eris. "And then the entire Corporate Islands." He nods to Resi. "Should I continue." His eyes glance toward Washu and Daniel, and then again fall suspiciously back on the bunny.

In the background James Rackham moves to a position where he can better see Mr. Silver."Go ahead, you are in the company of friends."

((we'll just say she handed it to Jai hehe))
*She laughs a little watching her new fiancee with the bunny and then looks to Silver*

Oh really? Well that -is- imporatant... you can speak freely here Mr. Silver. We have nothing to hide from those presant. We're all friends and allies.

*She smiles and sits in a chair at the balcony table*

Daniel raised his eyebrow again. "Uncle Jai? Really? Couldn't you come up with something better?" he teases. "And where is Tomas? We left and he was here, now he's gone. Someone care to explain?"

He pulls out a chair at the table for Washu. He then offers his hand to the the dark haired man. "Oh, by the way. I'm Daniel of Rastaban, this is Washu, Cheif of R&D for the Resi Corporation." He looks at Washu, making sure he got her job right.

*She sighs*

its a long story Daniel...

*She sighs*

its a long story Daniel...

"The short, edited version then?" Daniel says.

*She sighs*

its a long story Daniel..."The short, edited version then?" Daniel says.*She furrows her brow a little*

He's been sent away by my mother with my fnord handler to help us against Melkor... I'm not sure how else to explain it

"Sent away...that doesn't sound too good. And by Hera? Yes, not good at all." He shakes his head. "Poor Tomas."

Daniel raised his eyebrow again. "Uncle Jai? Really? Couldn't you come up with something better?" he teases. "And where is Tomas? We left and he was here, now he's gone. Someone care to explain?"Jai addresses the bunny, "Don't listen to him, Mr. Daniel's being mean." He covers the bunny's ears.
*ahem*
He turns to Daniel, "Nope, couldn't think of anything better. Tomas is... well, it's kind of hard to explain. He was sent back to the past to rebuild his civilization and to build up a fighting force capible of taking on Melkor. Sort of like Samurai Jack without the fighting. But, I'm making light of a serious situation..."
He pulls out a chair at the table for Washu. He then offers his hand to the the dark haired man. "Oh, by the way. I'm Daniel of Rastaban, this is Washu, Cheif of R&D for the Resi Corporation." He looks at Washu, making sure he got her job right.Washu nods. "A little forgetful, are we?" she thinks with a smirk.

"Sent away...that doesn't sound too good. And by Hera? Yes, not good at all." He shakes his head. "Poor Tomas."*She shakes her head*

no.. Nyx... but I think something may not have exactly gone as planned... but thats what happens when dealing with chaos users

*She thinks for a moment*

...it seems things went alright in the long run though...

*She glances to the bunny Jai is now holding*

Jai passes the bunny back to Eris. "I better get rid of this thing before I get too attached to it." he says, chuckling.

Jai addresses the bunny, "Don't listen to him, Mr. Daniel's being mean." He covers the bunny's ears.
*ahem*
He turns to Daniel, "Nope, couldn't think of anything better. Tomas is... well, it's kind of hard to explain. He was sent back to the past to rebuild his civilization and to build up a fighting force capible of taking on Melkor. Sort of like Samurai Jack without the fighting. But, I'm making light of a serious situation..."

Daniel gives Jai a look. "That's...interesting. Back in time? Will we see him again? Oh, by the way, you're bunny-nephew has a piece of paper attached to him."

Washu nods. "A little forgetful, are we?" she thinks with a smirk.

He smiles, glad that he got it right.

OOC: I did her job title from memory too!

Jai passes the bunny back to Eris. "I better get rid of this thing before I get too attached to it." he says, chuckling.*She smiles softly and takes the small bunny and nuzzling it a little. It'd fit well with her winged monkey's she had bought a while back. At this point the servant came back with their drinks. Part of her wanted to be alone with Jai for a bit, maybe talk a little more, but they were both leaders of nations... buisness first*

"no.. Nyx..."

"Oh, right Nyx. Sorry. My Greek Mythology isn't that great," Daniel apologizes.

"no.. Nyx..."

"Oh, right Nyx. Sorry. My Greek Mythology isn't that great," Daniel apologizes.*She smiles a little*

Its ok Daniel, I'll not hold it against you

*She takes one of the glasses and fills it with apple wine*

Membership: Triumvirate of Yut, Ur Trade Pact, Zion Pact, SEACTO, DeusExHumanaConsortium

ooc: Basically an elaborate tag so I can watch this.

Silver frowns as he thinks everything over. Maybe, he shouldn't be informing, them and just act. He needed allies, though. Finally at after his long silence, he continued, "I am here to make allies, discus alliances and such. But, I am sure you've guessed that. You, mentioned Melkor. Well, that why I am here. It's a pitty not for other reasons." He glances at Resi and Eris as he pauses to think. "I am a bit paranoid. Is this area secure from surveillance," he asks, glancing causiously around.

Is this area secure from surveillance," he asks, glancing causiously around.*She studies Silver for a moment*

Melkor seems to have made just as many enimies as he has allies... andthe allies he does have only side with him out of fear... for the most part.

*She sips her wine*

This place is suppizingly -very- secure... I have people who watch the skies and because of the recent attack no one comes in or our of here without permission from me or one of my staff. The only acception to that ruleis our known allies of course.

He winks. "Explaining how I got in." His statement leaves to question, if he used other means to get in.

Silver nods to James Rackham who is a safe distance away, but Rackham is already approaching. When Rackham approachs the table, he closes the cell phone he was talking on and informs the table of the message from Angelus.

"My link to the outside world," Silver quips, signally Rackham to sweep the area for bugs. "Just to be safe," Silver comments. Rackham pulls a small device from his suit coat and scans the area. Finds nothing and stands behind Silver.

"You will pardon my paranioa, in my business one can't be too careful," Silver explains. "With that all finished, I will proceed."

((OOC: I think this is my last post for the night... I'm sooo damn tired... sorry guys))

*She smiled at Silver for a moment*

Actualy... if your paranoid I can get some insurance

*She stood and walked over to the sleeping Nia Starr. The groggy elf blinked a few times and yawned at Eris prodded her away*

Nia, I need you to use your magic for me. Put up a static sheild around the balcony so no one can record our conversation, or listen in without being close enough to be seen.

*Nia looked around a little confused, then nodded to Eris*

Nia: Of course.

*The two women head back to the balcony and Nia raises a hand up while speaking in elven. She can't do this all the time but the effect will last a good few hours or untill she drops it*

Nai: {spirits of the storm aide me and let us speak in private}

*The air feels almost like its being electrified as the spell takes hold. Actual magic likethis was rare, but it was now obvious why Nia was always so close to Eris*

Eris: we can talk freely now... better Mr. Silver? Oh and by the way.. this is my Head Assistant to Chaos, Nia Starr.

*She smiles and Nia moves to sit in one of the chairs*

"Much better, thank you. Never too careful," Silver smiles, all charm. "Glad to make your acquantance, madam. It is a pleasure."

He turns back to the group. "When Melkor, threatened your nation." He nods toward Eris Kallisti. "We acted more out of political and profit concerns, to protect you. Then he attacked the Corporate Islands, and threatened us personnally. Fortunately, our friend Resi acted and stopped the invasion. But for how long?"

Let's everything sink in. "Yes, Melkor's got what he wants, and, yes, it appears the Terms of Resi's Surrender stipulated that no other Corporate Island, but there is nothing to stop him from attacking again and demanding more.

"Melkor is evil, pure and simple, and while I'll admit my Corporation is a bit evil, itself in it dealings, sometimes. We values our allies and are usually only motivated by profit margin.

"But, now it's personal. He threaten us and our allies, of which I hope your nation, Empress is now a part of." He smirk and throws his glance from Eris to Resi. Melkor was even able to buy out our man in charge of Intelligence in his region.

"But, I propose action, as I know you." He gesturs to those essembled. "Have been planning. CoVar is working to have our spy networks in Arda reestablished. We espect Melkor to again take action, again. When, where, we are not sure. Although, I would not put it past him to attack CoVar, much good it would do him. My people are working and no matter the loss in capital, we will end this threat."

OOC: Me, too. I've been on this all day. I'll be ready tomorrow to resume. Leave you all hanging a little. Goodnight, all.

"You will pardon my paranioa, in my business one can't be too careful," Silver explains. "With that all finished, I will proceed.""Ya know what they say," said Jai, smugly, "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get you."

"As for Melkor, his network of power lies in the Dominion. Now, if we were to uproot the Dominion and cause another reform like the one they had back when they called it the GDODAD, then Melkor'd be pretty undefended. This reform would be a complex business, really, and it would involve turning the nations of the Dominion against each other. See, all that they have in common is one-party rule, and their politics differ greatly from that point on. Some are communists, some are capitalists, some are outright evil (NOD and Melkor). We just need to highlight their differences, and the alliance will crumble."

OOC: Was wondering if we'd hear from eris kristi and Resi Corp. again. How'd the war go?

OOC: Was wondering if we'd hear from eris kristi and Resi Corp. again. How'd the war go?OOC: I surrendered and got protection for most to all of the parties involved. All in all, it turned out pretty good.

OOC: I misspelled your name, It's Eris Kallisti. Good to hear you and Resi Corp. survived.

Drop me a telegram if you want a few more allies. You seem like an OK sort.

The bunny apears to speak...
"You are correct, both the alliance must be attacked from within, but also Melkor's might must have a legitamate counter of some sort. Also, has anyone not noticed that his army is Orc? I'm surprised no one has looked at the possible weaknesses those creatures have. And I worry the security even here"


OOC: It's not a real bunny...some members of the Arda alliance are not good at keeping OOC and IC knowledge seperate...neither am I all the time. perhaps I'm paranoid, or perhaps this is the best place to have this...at a party... :)

((I'm thinking we should label what's said inside the static sheild and what's said outside it.... now ya'll gettin' me paranoid LOL))

((OOC: FOR THE RECORD! ANYTHING SAID HERE IS -NOT- TRACEABLE, IS -NOT- BEING RECORDED, AND IS -NOT- BEING OVERHEARD! PERIOD *grins* have a nice day hehe I love magic))

I'm surprised no one has looked at the possible weaknesses those creatures have. And I worry the security even here.*Eris nearly drops the bunny as it speaks... and once it speaks inteligently she sets it on the table.*

Great.... well you'd think I would have seen that coming... gah... I must be losing my touch or something....

*She picks up her wine glass and Nia snorts*

Nia: Orcs are not only night creatures, but their dumb too... easy to fool

*Eris nods and looks to the bunny*

Nia is right... but most of my troops are undead, so if we do anything against the orcs with the light issue I'd have to hide my troops underground untill it was done... or invest in a lot of umbrellas....

http://www.cybersluagh.com/ErisKallisti/alex.jpg
*Alex Wazzat recives a strange message over the telagram lines and furrows his brow. After studying the message he finds it odd that some things were capitalized and other things were not. At first he thinks it was just an error on the sender's behalf, but with closer study he finds it reveals a hidden message.*

hmmm... that's odd....

*He tries to contact Nia Starr, but it seems the lines have been jammed by a familiar static. Grumbling he heads upstairs and delivers the messge himself. As he approaches the balcony he's glad tosee Eris has returned, and that the static was just Nia's patiented "Privacy Shield". Quickly he moves to show the telegram to Eris from Roania, and points out the "hidden message" in it. Eris blinks a few times and puts the telegram on the middle of the table for everyone to read*

((I'll send you guys the telegram in a few so you can read it without me having to post it here))

At first I thought he was just being a jerk again... but this seems to possibly change things. *says Alex. Eris nods*

*Alex recives a fax and blinks at it*

oh... hehe didn't realize

*he talks quietly to Nia and the elf nods and concentrates carefully allowing one hidden frequency to get through*
((for the bunny))

The bunny, who seemed to have returned to being just a bunny suddenly seems far more intrested in the conversation

OOC: Yes, the bunny is not a bunny....beware the hipidy hops in your lands they may not be bunnies either :twisted:

*Eris stares at the bunny for a second then looks to Alex and Nia,whom both wink at her. She smiles a little and glances around...so much needed to be done... but where to start?*

Daniel looks over the message one more time. "That's...interesting," he says. He gives the bunny a look, seeing if it will speak again.

The bunny says...
"Time is both a freind and an enemy...let the party of Eris continue..."

"Gah!" Daniel says, looking at the bunny. He wasn't actually expecting it to talk!


OOC: I wish I had a drawing of his face for his reaction to this. It would be priceless. :lol:

"Ya know what they say," said Jai, smugly, "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean people aren't out to get you."

"The problem is Jai," Silver smirked back and then made a cautious look over his shoulder. "Is that they usually are out to get me." He smiled at his own comment and then listened to the proceeding conversation.

Silver had lapsed back into silence for a while, thinking, listening, his mood darkening. Finally, he again spoke. "The Dominion is extremely strong from within, and in it's recent reincarnation has only grown in strength. It appears in fact fate has shown in our favor, for before Melkor's attack CoVar was acquiring intelligence to consider joining the Dominion. We had in fact upon review our information decided on forming an...economic alliance. Destroy them from with in will be extremely hard, but we could try."

He paused for a second and behind him James Rackham spoke. "I'll have our people send you the intelligence."

And then the bunny spoke...

A thought popped into Silver's mind and he smiled broadly. His dull mood seeming to lift for a second. "A weakness we can definitely use to our advantage," he cut in. "CoVar has recently acquired a weapon that the Elf would like us not to. Ironicly, from the very top of the Dominion ladder. For know our sources remain hidden, but lets just say that it was someone few would suspect.

"Anyway," Silver continued. "It's an anti-Elf Biological Virus; very powerful. The sympton in humans are a meer headcold, but in Elves it is fatal. We've never used it, but with a little genetics tweak, CoVar's brightest mind could make a powerful anti-Orc weapon. Not lethal to Human or Elf.

"There is also the Orcs, the fact that the bulk of the Orc population has limited brain potential, and that Melkor's own Orcs have a sensitivity to light. There are also the Trolls. They are even lower on the brains scale then Orcs and have a horrible weakness to light. We must exploit every weakness we can find."

Silver paused. "Other than my intelligence on Melkor and Arda is weak. The man who lead that intelligence division was brought out. We are currently trying to reestablish our intelligence on that region, but it will take time. Something I fear we have little of." Silver looked across the faces of the group, allies. Exactly what he and now they needed, and what they had become. The most unlikely of allies.

OOC: Sorry, can't RP much today, RL been busy. I may be on later tonight and for sure tomorrow.

A thought came to Daniel as Silver mentioned Melkor's Orcs. "Wait, don't they have dragons also?" He looked around the table. "I don't know much about Melkor or Arda, but I remember something involving dragons and them."

He sighed. "I don't like the idea or harming dragons. They've only done good for my people, but if they depend on dragons a great deal and worst comes to worst." He let out another, ragged, sigh. "I just might be able to get something that would kill them." He put his elbows on the table, arms up, folded his hands and leaned his chin againt them.

"Wait a minute..." Resi said, "I know Elves are resistant to most diseases, but are Orcs? I have a friendly nemesis in a high place in the bio-war department, and he could whip up a nice little anti-Orc disease. Of course, it's not the most ethical thing to do, but Melkor's behavior is a lot less than ethical. But then there's the old saying, 'An eye for an eye makes everyone blind.'
"What do you think, Silver?"

"Oooohhh no..." Washu said, "You aren't thinking about going to HIM, are you? Gawd, I thought you broke ties with him YEARS ago."

"Not quite," Jai replied, "after I found out he didn't actually kill my father, I was obligated to forgive him. He's one of the few communists I trust, you know."

Washu grunted. She still didn't like the idea of having to deal with Neu.

OOC: Jai's pretty unfased by the talking bunny. Maybe it's because there are so many cat-people in his nation...

Waiting for Silver's response, Jai reflects on the decision he made...
"As much as I'd like to see my wife back, I simply can't give up Eris. To have her cheat death would be to choose the past over the present. I can't dwell on the past. As much as I'd like those happy times back, they simply wouldn't be the same. I can't stand to break a woman's heart, and doing so would replace the greif over my wife's death that would've been releaved. My wife is dead, it is what the fates have chosen, and although I find it hard to accept, I must."

((OOC: And here I am catching up hehe I fell asleep for like 6 hours on my couch today. slept the entire day away :oops: ))

Silver had lapsed back into silence for a while, thinking, listening, his mood darkening. Finally, he again spoke. "The Dominion is extremely strong from within, and in it's recent reincarnation has only grown in strength. It appears in fact fate has shown in our favor, for before Melkor's attack CoVar was acquiring intelligence to consider joining the Dominion. We had in fact upon review our information decided on forming an...economic alliance. Destroy them from with in will be extremely hard, but we could try."*Eris grinned a little and steepled her fingers infront of her mouth as she spoke*

We're working on that already actualy, its been in the works for longer then most realize. I'll keep everyone updated.... as of right now its still classified information though and not safe to let out just yet.

*She continued to listen*


"Anyway," Silver continued. "It's an anti-Elf Biological Virus; very powerful. The sympton in humans are a meer headcold, but in Elves it is fatal. We've never used it, but with a little genetics tweak, CoVar's brightest mind could make a powerful anti-Orc weapon. Not lethal to Human or Elf. *Eris nods slightly*

I know of some people who would be willing to help test such a weapon... also my head of Bio-engineering might be able to help...

*She glances to Jai*

She's in Resi City right now though. I'll have to get in contact with her
((Eris doesn't know she'd been hurt yet))


"There is also the Orcs, the fact that the bulk of the Orc population has limited brain potential, and that Melkor's own Orcs have a sensitivity to light. There are also the Trolls. They are even lower on the brains scale then Orcs and have a horrible weakness to light. We must exploit every weakness we can find."*Nia wrinkles her nose in disgust and speaks up*

Nia: I'll see what we can find. My people know quite a bit about them, and how to fight them... we've been doing it for longer then anyone. I'll contact Allanna Quicksilver about it.

OOC: I'm probably going to throw ppl off with this. But yeah...you, Eris, will probably see faster than a TG.

So I don't confuse Resi, does he know about...well, ya know? :twisted:

Yeah, ok, offically confused ya all! :lol:

OOC: I'm probably going to throw ppl off with this. But yeah...you, Eris, will probably see faster than a TG.

OOC: Oooookaaaaay. :wink: Just making sure. On it! Resi, if/when you see this, be expecting a TG! :DUmmm... I see it, but I have no friggin' clue... :?

OOC: Gah! :shock: ::falls over:: Nooo! :cry:

*Nia bites her lip suddenly remembering something. Quickly she stands and moves to Eris's side*

Nia: There was a transmission earlier from Phyrric... it seems they no longer consider us an ally because of the whole Melkor incident....

*Alex nods in agreement hearing Nia*

Alex: I was thinking maybe we could try and talk to them about it. it seems they didn't loose anything but time and money in the situation... Perhaps we could pacy them back somehow.

*He looks to Nia*

Alex: Didn't we just recive 115 billion from the sale of those nails?

*Nia nods and grins a little, then looks to Eris*

Nia: Why yes we did.... perhaps we should send them the money as a good will gift? they might take that into account Eris

*Eris sighs and thinks about it for a moment*

Eris: I'll talk to Phyrrhus myself, and offer to send the money... maybe I can convince him to join us

OOC: Oooookaaaaay. :wink: Just making sure. On it! Resi, if/when you see this, be expecting a TG! :DUmmm... I see it, but I have no friggin' clue... :?((OOC: Gah! ok... maybe we all need to get on IMs and talk about this. You guys want me to TG you my screennames? I've got ICQ, Yahoo, and AIM))

OOC: Yeah, good idea...

K, Eris already has mine. She can give it to Rastaban when he gets on.

OOC: Haha! Guess you'll finally found out what (male or female) I am Resi! lol!

OOC: Ha ha Resi. And ok, I'll stop. Just this last post...Gah! ::cries:: I missed my shows! ::goes and hides with Eris::

Daniel pours himself and Washu some wine. He was still thinking over some things. "Let me see that message again," he says and reaches for it. But as he does so he spills his wine on Jai.

He gives him a sheepish smile. "Sorry, mate." As he goes to reach for a napkin, and spill the bottle on Jai instead. "Damn! Sorry!" A servant comes forward and stops Daniel from helping anymore. She hands Jai a towel.

Daniel sits back down, embarassed. "At least I missed the message."



((OOC: I told you I get my petty revenge Resi! ::evil laugh:: Ok, I'm good now. :D))

Getting a bit butterfingered now arn't we Daniel?

*She shakes her head abit and a servant brings by a towel tohelp mop up*

"Robot!" Jai orders, "Nanoclean!"
The wine is eaten out of Resi's clothes by nanites in seconds.
"It's okay, mate. We all slip up sometime."

((OOC: :twisted: :P 8) ))

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I've never been clumsy." He looks at Jai. "I didn't mean to, mate."

Daniel slowly slouches in his chair.

*Alex brings Empress Eris a laptop and she gets to work on a telegram to Pyrrus of The Republic of Phyrric. Hopefully he'd check his messages. Once her letter was typed out she bit her lip and handed the laptop back to Alex. This was not the way she wanted things to turn out, hopefully they'd take her offer. Alex took the computer out of the static sheild and hit "send"*

The bunny apparently wants attention...
begins to nibble at Eris's ear....

*After the -almost- invasion of Eris Kallisti and the surrender by Resi Corp, the officals of Eris Kallisti decided to get to work putting the final touches on the Fnord Launchers they'd been working on. Alex meets up with the others as he returns to the balcony hallway. Most people couldn't man such a device so it would be left to the temple priests and and priestesses to handle them. Callisto listens carefully as Nix and Alex explain things, Pavis observes as well with a raised eyebrow. They talk right outside the balcony of the palace*

Alex: Well basicaly it disrupts the unseen order in things... things that are hit will malfunction in strange ways. This doesn't normaly effect engines unless its a direct hit, but it will mess up smaller things... like communications, targeting, landing gear, and toilets.

Pavis: I don't get it...

Nix: *Looks at Pavis and snorts* Fnords... Fnords have the power to cause chaos, much like the Empress's golden apples. The thing is is that their usualy unseen, and only I can harvest them from the fnord voids because I can see them. I have at least 500 of them harvested already, and hidden in a store house. The prievious Fnord Handler started this task before I got here. A fnord is roughly the size of a cannon ball but weighs nothing. It can't be detected, and even when something is hit with one they normaly don't notice untill its too late. They also only really seem to effect non-living things like machines.

Alex: The Fnord Handler is the only one who can see them, and only Priests and Priestesses of Eris's temples can wield the launchers because they are the only ones who know how to work chaos well enough.

*Pavis crosses her arms with a huff as Callisto smiles*

Pavis: Well then what use are they to the army?

*Alex shrugs and sighs*

Alex: Their only to be used as a last resort. The launchers can only take 5 shots before melting from being in such close contact with the fnords.

Nix: If we're attacked though, I'm sure we could use them... the thing is that we'll have to install the ground ones in the temples or something.

Callisto: I have any problems with that as long as they can be concealed... and I don't want them in -every- temple either. How many do we have?

Alex: 23 right now. If we put two on the main temple and three on the palace we can send ones out the the other islands, then concentrate on makeing more. There are only about 17 hand held ones. I suggest we put them in the temples... hidden of course

*Nix nods in agreement and Pavis makes a slight face*

Callisto: Of course we can do that.

Pavis: Well if only Kallistian Priests and Priestesses can use them...perhaps we should train more... not to mention we have more fnords then guns that can fire them... we'll need to make more and quickly.

Callisto: *She nods to Pavis* I agree.

*With that settled Pavis heads off the the lab, Alex heads back to the balcony of the palace with Nix, and Callisto stays in the hall thinking about things. Eris already knew that they were working on this. It was all up to them to get it finnished now*

((gah... forgot about this thread in all the hullaballoo hehe. this happens right before my fleet is sent out))

*Pavis recives word over telegrams and frowns*

Pavis: Shit...

*As quickly as she can she runs back upstairs and informs the Empress. She'd be gasping for breath, but she's a vampire and doesn't need to breath*

Pavis: Empress... the fleets... they're on the move against Melkor. we just got word from Phyrric...

*Eris scowls slightly*

Shit... I promised him I'd help out as soon as things happend.

*She looks to the others*

I'm sorry but I made a promise

*Looking back to General Noir she stands up slowly*

Take the Minister of Discreet Operations and man the "Cheetah" submarines with our most capable crew. "David" #23 will be your second in command because he knows how to handle the subs better than anyone.... that and we already sent "David" #17 out on a mission. Hurry.

*General Noir blinks at Eris*

Pavis: but Empress... that's all we have... you want us to take all 17 of them?

*Eris nods almost sullenly*

Those are your orders General. I suggest you follow them

*The General nods firmly, giving a salute and hurries down to get everything ready to take off. Eris furrows her brow and slumps back down in her chair, mumbling and closing her eyes. She knows she most likely just sent them to certin death*

They'll get slaughtered out there.....

((OOC: Wait, war was declared? What's the thread? I've been sick all day with that nuclear death flu I told you guys about, so I'm not really in touch with NationStates at the moment))

The war has expanded to four threads...but let us say that some of us nations became concerned after the most recent...well...events...and started plans...they were betrayed by a host...and the war began...Pantera led the attack and seems to have taken the brunt of the damage. TY attacked Roania, who dropped bio weapons here, Nakin attacked Rumakin, and Garrison II attacked Nakin. This is turning into a world war here...or a very messy little disturbance.

(OOC: Oh, yeah, I got the t-gram. I hadn't checked them when I wrote that...)
So what would this be, WWVII?

(OOC: Oh, yeah, I got the t-gram. I hadn't checked them when I wrote that...)
So what would this be, WWVII?((OOC: LOL I dunno... but its rather confusing... we're trying to make a list now of who's on what side hehe))

Has NOD or the Dominion gotten into this yet?

What was WWVI?

(OOC: Oh, yeah, I got the t-gram. I hadn't checked them when I wrote that...)
So what would this be, WWVII?

What was WWVI?

Over promoted hype...actually never ammounted to much but Vrak's world Court...it was Elf/anti-Elf and fairly fizzled

NOD has given support and various members of the Dominion...but I'm focused on a more achiveable target at the moment.

What was WWVI?I dunno... I think it was the great Slaver war or something...

...I'm focused on a more achiveable target at the moment.Which is...?

Maybe we can help.

OOC: Oh, ok. ::nods head and smiles about WWVI:: It was probably before I came here. Heh. Thanx! :D

OOC: Oh, ok. ::nods head and smiles about WWVI:: It was probably before I came here. Heh. Thanx! :DYep, it was even before my time. I think the first World War I saw was the fifth.

...I'm focused on a more achiveable target at the moment.Which is...?

Maybe we can help.

I'm after Roania, who's a damn WMD freek...my nation has a bone to pick with his use of chemical/biological weapons...

((OOC: I don't know what to think about Roania...))

((OOC: I don't know what to think about Roania...))

OOC: He's the one who did the straffing attack with his tie fighters...

IC: He is a menace to several nations, my forces are better used trying remove a Melkor Yes boy than to vanish in the massive force being thrown at Melkor at this time.

I'm after Roania, who's a damn WMD freek...my nation has a bone to pick with his use of chemical/biological weapons...Nope, can't help ya there, sorry. I'm allied with both of you, as Roania gave us this anti-orc virus stuff.

((OOC: I remember him.. but he's also the one who sent the coded TG... he confuses me))That's cause he's more than a simple yes-man. Personally, I think he's only warm to Melkor so he'll be in a position of power in the Dominion once Melkor falls.

((I was kinda thinking that myself :? ))Yep, and he wants Melkor to fall and secretly helps his enemies so he can have the second/third in command of the Dominion position that Melkor has.

Well, he's gotten himself into some serious trouble...He's got three conventional and one non-conventional invasion fleet on him...he may get out of this...he may not...I'm considering helping the main thread after the landing forces deploy...

((OOC: sooo.... while the battle rages on.... you guys wanna get some charater RP in? I have a feeling its gonna be a while untill I can do anything in the war at all. I gotta wait for them to come to me))

((OOC: Uhh. Well my shows ::eyes Resi:: are coming on. And after the fit I threw last night and much Resi abuse I've decided to watch. So that way I can spoil it for him. :twisted:

Oh, wait, did I type that?))

((*snickers*))

((I can RP in between comercials. hehe. ok, weird mood, just to warn ya all...))

((*wonders where everyone is*))

((Yup, just us spaming the post again...heh heh))

OOC: heh, out of Lurkdom (or better known as actually having a few free minutes on my hands)

IC: After running their patrols above Eris Kallisti waiting for a possible change in the invasion plans, the LSS Defiance finally touches down near the capital city.

Markson and his command staff walked down from the airlock looking forward to some level of shore leave until the next rotation.

"Damn," he grinned. "Looks like there's some kind of party going on."

"Yeah," Lieutenant Tanaka said. "Looks like it's been going on for a while too. At least we'll still be fashionably late."

The grin spread over Markson's ebony features, "Yep. Ladies and gentlemen, I vote we head in and have a good time. And since I'm in command, my vote's the only one that counts," he said as the group flagged down a cab and headed into the city.

*Realising that most of the action was elsewhere and people had better things to do then listen in on them, Eris told Nia Starr she could drop the static shield. Nai, looking very relieved, did so and went to get herself a glass of water. eris was still slumped in her chair, furrowing her brow over how she'd just sent some of her best fighters, most likely to their deaths*

.......

"What's wrong?" Jai asked with concern, "You don't look well at all. It's all this war stuff, isn't it?"

BEEPBEBEBEEP BEEPBEBEBEEP BEEPBEBEBEEP!!!

"Gah!" Daniel said in surprise as his phone went off. He took it out of his pocket. "I forgot that I had this blasted thing." He looked at. "Hmm. Voice messages."

There was three and as he listened to each one the level of surprise grew on his face.

"Hmm. That was...interesting. My sister seems to have decided to help you Eris. She started somethig very...interesting."

((OOC: Now where's Jai? I need to torture - er - I mean tease him... :twisted:))

*She smiles weakly at Jai, its obviously forced*

I just can't belive I did that... I sent all 17 of my best submarines with my my best people... They don't know how to fight in a war Jai...

*She glances over to Daniel and blinks*

She is? What does she have planned?

"Well, it nothing big. No large army or anything." He looks around. "I feel like Silver now, but I don't dare tell you now since the static shield isn't up. If only I had gotten her messages sooner. Obviously that wasn't possible before."

Daniel crosses his arms. "All I can say safely is that you'll like it. Once I get a chance to tell you it."

((OOC: Yeah, he's refering to...ya know. :wink:))

*Eris nods*

I sure hope so... as long as we can get back on the positive side again... things arn't looking so good...

*She sighs*

Daniel nods. "Its not going to have fast results, but it will work out in the long run.

"She and people she has recruted for this are willing to take that risk. We've only done something like this once in our history. It worked, but at a great lost to Rastaban. We lost our then queen. My sister isn't putting herself in a position like that queen, but she is putting some family members at risk."

He looks down at the table. "I don't mean to sound so dooms dayish. But Rastaban will help you, sublty as it seems."

"Screw the static sheild. I'm sending all five (OOC: yes, five now) of my Raven Units to help your subs. I don't care if Melkor hears this, cause not even a fleet of his gravships can stand against five Ravens."
Jai sighed. "You truely are a caring leader. I was like you are when we sent humans into combat, which is why we opted out for robots. I could actually go into combat and not worry about my troops.
"Don't worry, we'll protect you and your people no matter what."

((Melkor restarted the war... get on AIM people))

((I'm on))

Silver had long ago lapsed into silence. He listened to all that was said, but his mood seem to get increasingly dark. Finally, he rose from his seat and went to lean against the balcony railing looking out over the celebrating populace, brooding.

James Rackham went of in another direction, apparent assured that Silver was safe he left the balcony altogether, cell phone in hand.

The pattern noises of the blade was an annoyance to some and a soothing song to others, Hans Mueller was one of the latter. A veteran commander from the Dreichen-Tundra War years back, Mueller was known best not only for his strategies but for his harsh and often brutal disciplinary actions against soldiers.

On the outside he wore the cold, heartless-bastardized expression but on the inside he was content with utter joy in knowing he would be going to battle again. He turned to the Army Chief of Staff, Gerard Picallo, Mueller offering a smirk,

"I'm getting that feeling in my stomach Picallo..you know what that means?.." Picallo had his eyes closed but was not asleep, he opened his left eye slightly and responded,

"Either that you have an actual love life or the joys of war are getting to you again.." Some of the fellow occupants shared a laugh, even Mueller offered a smile..deciding now was not the best time to snap back at the ACS. Minister of Defense Heleina Winsley sat across from Mueller, herself lost in thought over the whole matter of war.. "Winsley!..you ok?" She turned her gaze to Field Marshall Fredrich Reindhart, his eyes showing an unemtional concern.

"Hmm? uh..yea, I'm fine...I was just thinking.."

"Well you'll have plenty of time to think once we land, we're almost there." The flight group of military choppers streaked across the ocean waters in the dark night, the light provided by the moon along with the far away glow of a few cities.

The lead chopper pilot spoke into his mouthpiece, "Admiral Chegwhitten..Approaching Illuminatus Isle, ETA-30 seconds." The choppers were now well in radar range of their destination, they received a transmission,

"Unknown craft, identify yourselves or you will be shot down."

"This is Captain O'Conner of Seahawk 1, permission for landing in Illuminatus."

"Seahawk 1 this is control, you do not..I repeat you do not have permission to land. Confirm your intentions.." There was a pause in the conversation, a different voice came in response,

"This is Heleina Winsley, Defense Minister of the Dreisden Republic. I wish to speak with whoever is in charge.." The helicopters hovered just a few feet away from the coastal beaches of the main island, their rotors disrupting the waves of the sea as they patiently awaited the response..

*Alex Wazzat took control of the com from his assistant once he heard the message. Wow.. that hadn't taken long*

Minister Winsley. Didn't expect you so soon. This is Minister of Defence of Eris Kallisti, Alex Wazzat. You have permission to land behind the palace on the officals landing strip there. No one is currently docked there. Good to hear from you and I'll be upstairs shortly to meet with you.

"Roger that Alex Wazzat.." She readjusted her harness strap as the choppers lurched foward and headed toward the private landing areas behind the palace,

"This is Seahawk 1, preparing for landing.." The chopper gently landed with a light thud, the other two choppers landing with much similarity. Guards were already there, opening the door as the officers began stepping out. Heleina was among the first to step out when she was greeted by one of the soldiers,

"Heleina Winsley," He saluted, Heleina saluted in return, "You and the others follow me, I will lead you to where you will meet EK Defense Minister Alex Wazzat." She nodded her head in compliance and followed the soldier into the building, the other officials begin making their way as well.

*Alex had come upstairs and was waiting in the main hall for the Dreisden Minister. He paced a little. It was obvious this guy rarely slept and drank too much cafine or something. He was a little twitchy and constantly on edge. The Empress was on the balcony with a few others, namely Jai Resi of Resi Corp, Prince Daniel of Rastaban, and Mr. Silver of CoVar Corp. There was also a browish rabbit sitting on the table in the middle of them as they spoke to eachother. Alex looked up quickly as Heleina and the others entered the hall. Quickly he strode over to them and smiled*

Welcome to Eris Kallisti Minister.

*Nia Starr, the Empress's Head Assistant, was returning from getting her glass of water and she tilted her head at the goings-on in the main hall. Quietly she walked over and stood next to Alex. Alex nodded to Nia*

Minister Winsley this is the Empress's personal assistant Nia Starr. Nia this is the Minister of Defence of Dreisden.

*Nia nodded to the minister polietly*

((Edit: typos))

Heleina removed her hat and gave a slight bow to both Nia and Alex, she offered a smile, the whiteness of her teeth near sparkling, as she extend her hand to Nia,

"It is a pleasure to meet you, and you as well Alex..I am glad we are all able to come down here tonight."

OOC: Ummm... mind cluing me in as to what's going on? I don't exactly follow what's happening.
Sounds like a personal problem...
Quiet, you!

The bunny looks at Jai Resi...
what was that?

*Nia took the minister's hand and shook it with a gentl-firmness only elves seem to have*

Nia: Nice to meet you. Would you like to meet the Empress now? Or did you and Alex have things you need to go over first?

*Alex glanced over to the balcony*

((OOC: We're having another ally meet us *grins*))

Heleina smiled at Nia and responded, "As much as I..err..we would all like to. It is all up to your dear Minister here...What is your view dear sir?" She turned her gaze averted back to Alex, her smile still composed.

The other officers that accompanied with her continued to await, their composure near stiff and their breathing seeming as they weren't.

*Alex looked to to the other minister and found himself fidgeting too much so he stuffed his hands deep in his pockets.*

Well... maybe we should get you outfitted with the missiles against the enemy ships first off...

*He nods over to the 20 large crates stacked in a room just off the main hall. The door was open and a man in a bio-mech suit stood just outside it*

In each crate is a single kiloton missile. These were used in a prior war and have been effectively battle tested against the Gravships. They were sent by an ally of ours but we have no aircrafts that can fire them.... the biggest thing we have that flies is a news heliocopter

*he makes a slight face*

Heleina started walking over to the crates, Admiral Chegwhitten following close behind her.

"..I'm surprised to hear that Minister, I would have thought you'd at least have some aircrafts capable to using these missiles.." Heleina turned back to Alex, her expression no longer smiling, replaced with a more serious tone. Chegwhitten this time spoke, his gaze still on the crates,

"I'm pretty sure we can supply your forces with a number of adequate aircraft dear Minister..I'll make the call in to load up some fighters, some attack helicopters as well if you need them.." Chegwhitten rejoined the group of officers and officials, Heleina then recomposed her smile,

"Is there anything else you wish for us to see/discuss at the immediate moment Minister Wazzat?"

OOC: Out of curiosity, how big an aircraft would you need to actually fire one of those things?

*Alex pulled his hands out of his pockets and thought for a moment. Crossing his arms he sighed a little*

nothing I can think of right now... I'd like you to meet General Pavis Noir, head of our millitary, but unfortunately I think she may be busy out getting the submarines ready to deply... that is unless you want to go out there with me to see her.

awesome party, this calls for a Eris Kallisti shrine to be built in bumplords!

OOC: Out of curiosity, how big an aircraft would you need to actually fire one of those things?OOC: I'm not sure. I'll have to ask the person who gave them to me
