OOC: You mind if I join in? I'd like to get started planning the defensive against Melkor.

awesome party, this calls for a Eris Kallisti shrine to be built in bumplords!OOC: More shrines! yay! hehe

OOC: You mind if I join in? I'd like to get started planning the defensive against Melkor.OOC: this RP is open to any Eris Kallisti allies so jump on in. Right now all the heads are meeting in the palace. This is all going to be character RP

The noise of the helicopter's rotors made it difficult for Tyrone Williams to communicate with his superior. "General! The Empire of Eris Kallisti is in sight! ETA is less than 30 secs!" General Jeff Garand reguarded his head combat instructor with an slightly pissed look. "Dammit Tyrone, I'm sitting right next to ya!" He shouted back. "Forget it, just get the person in charge on the comm. I'd like to get the landing permisson personally. Don't wanna have anouther Jikatou incindent...." Tyrone tapped the pilot on the back of his helmet, motioning for the radio. Tyrone handed the microphone to the general. "Hello? Is this thing on?"

*Alex motions to the group to follow him if they like. Luftwaffe (Airforce) Commander Josef Petersburg, Submarine Captain Michael Doenitz, Submarine Admiral Edmund von Schroeder, and Field Marshall Fredrich Reindhart and a few other misc officers go with him to a tunnel entrance. they're lead through a tunnel. They get into a tram that goes between the islands and comes up on the otherside. The island they currently are standing on as they emerge is Fernando Poo. He leads them towards the docks where 17 submarines are being loaded up. In the middle of everything is a pale woman under a rather large black umbrella. She turns as they all approach and eyes Alex for a moment*

Pavis: Alex? What's going on?

Alex: General Noir... these are the reinforcements sent by Dreisten

*She eyes them all for a moment then her expression softens just slightly*

Pavis: I'm General Pavis Noir, KSC. Head of the Kallistian Millitary. Nice to have you aboard. We're not much to look at around here but half our troops can't stand the daylight

*She smirks a little, pointed ivory fangs protruding just slightly over her bottom lip*

((meanwhile... back at the palace:))

*Nia Starr leads the remaining others to the balcony to meet with the Empress and the others. The group consitsts of Heleina, Admiral Chegwhitten, Field Marshall Hans Mueller, Field Marshall Sarah, Army Chief of Staff Gerard Picallo, and Field Marshall Gerald Heinz*

Nia: Empress Eris. This is some of the help that the nation of Dreisden has sent. Alex Wazzat took the others to meet with General Noir

*Eris stands up after being slumped in her chair for so long. She smiles a little*

Eris: Thank you for coming. your help is very much appriecated. Maybe we should all move inside. We seem to be running out of room here on the balcony

*She chuckles a little and motions forthem to go back into the main hall. Looking over she smiles at the others who have been sitting on the balcony with her*

Eris: it seems we have even more friends then we realized

*She winks at Jai. Chaos works in strange ways*

Tyrone tapped the pilot on the back of his helmet, motioning for the radio. Tyrone handed the microphone to the general. "Hello? Is this thing on?"*One of Alex's assistants picks up the line*

Hello? Who is this. State your buisness

*The guy sounds a little nervious*

The general holds the mic up to his ear, attempting to hear better."Son, you're gonna have to speak up, I can barely hear ya! We're with the Rogue Nation of Mercenary Soldiers, we've come to speak with the leader of your nation to determine important stuff. Can I talk to whoever is in charge? We don't seem to be connecting here."

*The assistant looks over a list that Alex had left for him then responds. speaking a bit louder this time*

You've been cleared and have permission to land on Kallistian soil, but how many aircrafts do you have? We can only fit a few more on this strip. You might have to land on the beach.

The general moves the mic from his ear down to his mouth, yelling much louder than he needs to. "Don't worry, son. We've just got the one heli. I've got two other folks with me, my head combat instructor and my head of naval operations. Where can we meet up with the head man? We've got some important stuff to discuss."

It depends on what you mean by headman. The one fully in charge here is Empress Eris. Your clear to land behind the palace on the landing pad there. There should be an open spot. I'll have someone come out and meet with you once you land

hmmm...

*She sends a message back down to the control room stating to have a limo sent down to the harbor and to tell them where to dock. The unnamed extra follows his orders and sends out the transmissions*

((edit: double post))

The chopper winds down, and three figures disembark. The first, General Garand, is getting on in years, but is still in remarkable shape. He reaches into a hip cargo pocket on his fatigues and retrieves a flask. He takes a long pull from it before putting it back in the pocket. The second man, Tyrone Williams, is a few inches shorted than the general, but is much stockier. He is dressed like the general, in Urban pattern fatigues and sporting an H&K SOCOM in a shoulder holster, situated on the left side. The final figure is Zelkrav Quickclaw, Garand's head of naval operations. He is an Argonian, reptillian in apperance. As he disembarks from the chopper his tail drags along the tarmac. He is dressed like Williams and Garand, with Urban fatigues and an H&K SOCOM in a shoulder holster. The general begins barking something unhearable due to the racket of the helicopter rotors, but Williams seems to hear it. He points towards the palace, and falls in on Garands left as the general begins to move towards the palace doors. Quickclaw follows on Garand's right.

*Nix meets the Mercenary Soldiers represenitives at the back doors of the palace with a stoic look on its face.*

Wellcome to Eris Kallisti. I'll bring you to see the Empress if you like. everyone is meeting in the main hall.

((I have the stats for the missiles now. they're too big to put on a hellicopter. I'll TG the stats to Dreisten if he wants to put them on his planes))

"Sounds fine with me, we'll meet them in the main hall." The General follows Nix in that direction, his escorts in tow.

*Nix leads the General and his escorts to the main hall where servants are setting up a huge table with lots of chairs. Some servants scurry around getting food prepared and bringing out drinks. Eris is heading from the balcony towards the huge table. The table itself is round and the chairs areall mismatched. Eris's chair looks like a cross between a lazyboy and a throne and she was heading towards it when the group came in. Nix stops a few feet from Eris and smiles, motioning to the small group behind it*

Nix: Empress, the people from Mercenary Soldiers are here to speak to you

*Eris smilesand motions to the table*

Eris: please, gentlemen, sit down and join the rest of us. Feel free to talk here. we hide nothing from eachother

*She motions to those present*

*She winks at Jai. Chaos works in strange ways*Jai laughs, "You and your fnords, seriously... Or did we actually win allies without having to use them?"

OOC: I leave for two, just two, hours, and now look at this thread! GHAA! Well, time to read through a page of RPing...

Jai checks out Eris' chair.
"Note to self: When I go back home, get a chair like that."
He then pulls out Eris' seat, and politely motions for her to sit.
"After you, m'lady," he says with a teasing smile.

< m a r k >

A serving girl approaches Eris with a large bouquet of flowers. It is a dizzying array of colors with no two the same. Attached to the flowers by a thread that glows soft red is a card reading:
It has recently come to the attention of the goddesses friends in Well Being inc. that the military of this fine nation is largely undead. We can see how this would pose interesting logistic challenges and we think we can help you. We manufacture a line of lightweight, comfortable, long-wearing radiation suits that should protect your troops from sunlight as well. 5000 of these should arrive by transport plane at the airfield of your choice within six hours.
Good Luck and Well Being
Also on the plane is a large box with a picture of a red elephant on it. It contains a lot of red and gold nylon and many aluminum shock-cord tent poles. When assembled according to the clear directions, it is a 15' elephant holding a 4' apple balanced on its trunk. If set up outdoors, it will glow at night. The right front foot is signed with a black sharpie "Best Wishes, Leonard of Quirm"
ooc:: Hi folks, I'll be sending a representative along in a day or two. Not Leonard.

...actually, I think my mom has something like that in her attic... :P

In the main hall, Heleina and the others were unusually quiet, taking only time to talk amongst one another in whispered tones. After a few minutes, Heleina stood herself from her seat and spoke to Eris,

"M'lady..Allow myself to introduce ourselves. I am Heleina Winsley, Dreisden's Minister of Defense. Standing next to me is Adolf Chegwhitten, Admiral and a member within the Naval Aeronautics Defense Oriented Kommandant..NADOK," Chegwhitten arose from his seat and nodded his head. Heleina then continued on, "Army Chief of Staff, Gerard Picallo...Field Marshall Hans Mueller...Field Marshall Sarah Kleigsborg...and Field Marshall Gerald Heinz," During the formal introductions, each of those mentioned arose from their seat and gave the same courtesy as the Admiral had, they then all sat back down as Heleina continued,

"There are others but they are elsewhere...Our purpose for this arrival is obvious, we are here as a new ally that is taking a firm stance against Melkor for reasons of peace as stated by our government...We were sent here as since we will be the commanding staffs during this campaign which will serve to bolster your defenses and strike against any counteroffensives conducted against you or any coalition nations..Admiral Chegwhitten, continue." The middle-aged Admiral turned his gaze to Eris,

"At this moment in time, our forces are prepping for departure. Our naval fleets will be arriving within your ports in a few days travel, along with deployed ground forces that will be stationed in the need of a ground invasion..." Chegwhitten took a momentary pause, taking a sip of water from the glass cup before him, "..Military cargo vessels and carriers will be bringing in as many aircraft fighters and helicopters that can be spared for this massive campaign. Merchant ships will have set off by now for your coasts, they will be carrying both military and civilian supplies and will be unloaded the moment they should arrive...Your turn again Minister."

"Thank you Admiral Chegwhitten..Empress Eris, we will be committing a large quantity of ground, aerial, naval forces to safeguard your nation..What we ask is if any branch within your military be in the need of any equipment as to prep them for conflict...We are more than willing and capable to supply you with some of our best equipment and vehicles, even any needed training by our own troops...Just merely state your requests m'lady. We shall try our best to meet each of them.."

((gonna respond to these one at a time... *eyes defacto Russia and debates on putting the static shield up again*))
Jai checks out Eris' chair.
"Note to self: When I go back home, get a chair like that."
He then pulls out Eris' seat, and politely motions for her to sit.
"After you, m'lady," he says with a teasing smile.*She leans over and kisses Jai's cheek softly before sitting down*

Thank you Jai

*She motions him to the seat next to her for him*

Fnords are always in action, but no... this is differant. this is the chaos of Melkor working in our favor

*She grins a little with a wink*

*She has the flowers from Well Being put in a vase and has the elephant set up in the center of town wherethe big party is going on. She looks extreamly pleased. This was all going so well. She lets out a small giggle, thinking to herself for a moment*

((OOC: Just so ya know, Defacto Russia is my puppet that participates in all offensive military actions, while Resi participates in the defensive ones))
IC:
Jai takes a seat to the left of Eris, and relaxes. Usually at meetings like this he'd be rigid and display a perfect poker face, but this was definately different.
"The kiss probably had something to do with it," Jai thinks, "Aww, who am I kidding? It's Eris' presence in general that just relaxes me, her cheerfulness, her beauty...
FOCUS ON BUSINESS, JAI."
This last part was directed at him by Washu. She shakes her finger at him, then walks over and takes a seat with Daniel. Jai begins to talk.
"Well, all I've got to say is that it's about time we get a lucky break. I suppose the war turning out the way it did was lucky enough, but still I never would've thought such a large coalition would form against Melkor. We actually have a chance here, but the question is, 'How are we going to use it?'."

*She steeples her fingers infront of her lips and listens as the people from Dreisden speak. She nods to each of them as they introduce themselves and smiles. Once the Minister of Defence was done speaking she lets her one hand lay on the table and her other pushes a strand of red hair behind her ear. She looks over to Nia and gives her a knowing look. Nia brings in a group from outside and they sit in the cornor and start to play music. She didn't want Nia to exert herself with using that spell again so soon, so they'd just have to make due with masking the noise for now. The elf wispers to the servants and they go about shutting all unnessicary doors and every window. Nix turns on the air conditioning and shuts the balcony doors. Eris glances to Jai and nods before turning back to the others*

I'm pleased to meet you all and happy your here. Our nation is not used to wars. The only times we've ever fought was to keep people away from our trade ships. Our submarines are some of the finest you'll find, but for the most part we have... little experiance in dealing with these things. I'll be happy with any support you can give us, man power or otherwise. Though you must realize that we'll be deploying very soon... teaching my soldiers to use these things may be difficult to do in such a short time. I do encorage you to try though. *She picks up a glass of wine and sips it* I'm assuming Alex Wazzat has already shown you the missiles that were given to us... we need experianced people to handle these.

The limo has picked up a woman with red hair...
she is in uniform and seems to have a distant look on her face...
The drums of war call to her...yet she comes both to finilize the
details of her lost brother, and bring...well...a new gift....and some help...

edit: remember to sign up!

The general sits down in a chair at the table. His escorts take places to his left and right. He takes out his ever-present flask and takes another long pull from it. "Nothin' like ole Kentucky.." He says, screwing the cap back on and laying the flask down in front of him. "Alrighty, which of you is in charge?" He asks impatiently.

*The driver drives to the palace and pulls up out front. Seeing the limo park Nix heads out and opens the door for Tomas's sister to step put. It smiles a little*

Everyone is inside discussing things....

*It motions to the main doors. Just outside the doors to the palace on either side is a soldier in a bio-mech suit*

Victoria follows...she really has little patience with these sorts of things...and the last time she was here...well that was diffrent...she turned to an aide, "find that detachment that seems to have not reported in recently." she states in a dry voice.

The drums of war had grown louder...

OOC: I get the feeling that everyone is on a completely different timezone than me. (US East Coast)

"Of course m'lady..though we aren't exactly experts of the missiles you hold in stock. We can however, supply you then with a decent number of ground vehicles/weapons, aerial firepower, as well as command of a few naval vessels for your military's use...I can understand on the limited amount of time we have, our trainers will try to put in as much as they can in how to properly handle the equipment.." She sat back, relaxing a bit as Admiral Chegwhitten looked at his watch and spoke up,

"..By estimation Empress, the merchant ships should be arriving in about one or two hours...We should make preparations for their arrival. Field Marshall Mueller, what news about deployment?"

"None so far yet, I believe they are still the process of prepping and loading....those slow bastards. Only because I'm not there..well, once they get here.." Mueller showed a face of disappointment and annoyance but more directly for the apparent slow pace of Dreisden's deployment.

Victoria follows...she really has little patience with these sorts of things...and the last time she was here...well that was diffrent...she turned to an aide, "find that detachment that seems to have not reported in recently." she states in a dry voice. *Nix Leads them inside to the main hall where everyone is seated and talking> Once inside Nix moves off tothe side and sits in a chair quietly observing for now*

Nix: feel free to have a seat

*Eris nods to Victoria with a smile as she enters, but is in mid conversation at the moment*

The general takes another drink from his flask. He motions for Quickclaw to lean closer. He whispers something to him, before the Argonian trots off towards the docks. "Okay, which of you is the Empress? We've got a lot to do, and little time to do it in. I'd like to get back into the damnable racket of battle as soon as possible." The general takes another drink from his flask.

Mueller showed a face of disappointment and annoyance but more directly for the apparent slow pace of Dreisden's deployment.*Eris nods and pulls out a piece of paper with all the stats of the missiles on it. She hands it to the Minister of Defence from Dreisden*

This is the information on these missiles we have... Do with them what you feel should be done. My people arn't used to handleing anything that isn't submarine related really.

*She looked to Mueller and tilted her head slightly*

Don't be too hard on them. As of right now we're all working a little behind schedual(sp?)... so by the time your ships get here we should all be right where we need to be. We need to encourage the people, not dishearten them

The general sits up in his chair. "Your highness, I saw a few crates of kiloton missiles on my way in. Perhaps I could have a few of my people "liberate" a Driddish fighter or two that we could mount them on?"
*he grins*

The general takes another drink from his flask. He motions for Quickclaw to lean closer. He whispers something to him, before the Argonian trots off towards the docks. "Okay, which of you is the Empress? We've got a lot to do, and little time to do it in. I'd like to get back into the damnable racket of battle as soon as possible." The general takes another drink from his flask.*Eris looks to the Mercenary Soldier's group*

I'm Empress Eris. What is it you want to talk about?

General Garand leans forward in his chair. "First off, your highness, I brought my head combat instructor with me, so he could start getting what little military forces you have into fighting shape. I also sent my head of naval operations down to your docks a few minutes ago, he'll be examining your submarines. Second, I'd like to discuss what you'll need in the way of weaponry, ammuntion, munitions, vehicles, and training, so I can get that stuff to you, or tell you where to find it."

Mueller was about to respond when Chegwhitten cut in,

"Please excuse the dear Field Marshall, he has...always been like this. He always has high expectations for his troops and is harsh against those that do not live up to them..even if they aren't under his command..its a tendency of his."

Heleina looked over the schematics while the admiral was talking with Eris, her eyes going over the fine print and the designs of the missiles.

Second, I'd like to discuss what you'll need in the way of weaponry, ammuntion, munitions, vehicles, and training, so I can get that stuff to you, or tell you where to find it."*She blinks a few times*

All that is well and good sir, but as I've said before... my people don't know how to handle anything but submarines. The ones we have are in top shape, and some of the fastest around. Their currently docked on the island of Frenadno Poo... its the island closest to the main island that we'reon. I'll have someone go with your naval head and show them the way through the underground tram.

*She snaps her fingers and a servant who was standing nearby leave to go help the MS naval operatior find his way to the main docks*

Victoria coughed slightly...
and began to play with the bunnies ears...
"I think the present goal gentlemen it would be better do decide the role the forces of Eris should play and then train for that role....to try and cover all basic topics is...wasting valuable time. As for defensive purposes...I suggest that the present location of these Isles is...well...exposed...perhaps a more defensible region is in order?"

She smiles slightly....

"Please excuse the dear Field Marshall, he has...always been like this. He always has high expectations for his troops and is harsh against those that do not live up to them..even if they aren't under his command..its a tendency of his." *Eris smiles softly and shakes her head*

Its alright... our head of millitary can be the same way sometimes. Everyone is a little stressedright now, I just don't want tempers flairing at the wronge people

((TGed the stuff about the missiles))

Victoria coughed slightly...

She smiles slightly....*Eris looks to Victoria and nods*

Compleatly agreed... though I was going to move to a new region anyway...

*She glances at Jai for a moment then back to Victoria*

I'm not sure what everyone is really expacting of me. I have little expriance in organizing things *she chuckles* I seem to be doing alright so far though... the thing is, is that I don't think leading a huge fleet is a good idea for me. I can handle my submarines, and possibly a few planes or helicopters, but I don't want the pressure of having much else. I'll end up messing it up somewhere. I know my own limits. I'll leave commanding the bigger fleet to someone more experianced

The General shifts his bulk around in the chair. "I'll agree with you on that one, Eris Kallisti's forces would probably be best suited for a naval role. I also think we should get to training those folks in the useage of small arms, as well as drafting a large number of civilians for some sort of national guard. I can get the guns for them, and Tyrone, here can train 'em to use 'em." He motions to the man on his right.

Don't get me wrong here General... my people know how to use guns... some of the starefaring elves who have settled here are rather good with blaster rifles as well.. the thing is, that allthe people who want to be in our army, already are in it. I will -not- draft people, it goes against everything we stand for.... another campagin to recruit people isn't a bad idea though. Most of our army consists of clones and undead for the most part, along with a few elves. The clones have it in their contracts that when they're made from the original they have to inlist in the army or train in specialized departments for government work. Thus why I employ so many clones.

Victoria nods toward Jai Resi, "I was thinking somewhere that doesn't have many troops committed...that even Melkor might pause to bring into the war...a temporary hide-out if you would until the C.I. has been, freed of its' chains..."

"As for the duties of the Eris navy...well...perhaps you should just follow the bunny...perhaps you all should..." she looks at the bunny...it's your link to St. Dominon you realize...

The general takes another drink from his flask. "So what you're telling me is that you've got a bunch of walking corpses defending you? Clones I can see, but let's just hope Melkor doesn't use a flamethrower.."

Victoria nods toward Jai Resi, "I was thinking somewhere that doesn't have many troops committed...that even Melkor might pause to bring into the war...a temporary hide-out if you would until the C.I. has been, freed of its' chains..."

"As for the duties of the Eris navy...well...perhaps you should just follow the bunny...perhaps you all should..." she looks at the bunny...it's your link to St. Dominon you realize...*Eris sighs a bit in thought*
Currently The Corperate Islands only have 5 nations out of like, 56, fully involved. It -should- be safe there... at least I hope so. If not I'm not sure I should move at all yet.... I don't know. I'll have to put a lot of thought into it... as for my navay, I'll be sticking near Phyrric's forces when possible, unless I'm needed other places

The bunny again bounces up and
nibbles Eris Ear...

The general takes another drink from his flask. "So what you're telling me is that you've got a bunch of walking corpses defending you? Clones I can see, but let's just hope Melkor doesn't use a flamethrower.."*She chuckles softly and nods. At this point Malice Tarashibo enters. Eris looks up at him*

Eris:Ahh! Malice, right on time as usual. I need you to ask for more of your kind to help join in the fight. *she looks to the General then motions to Malice* this is Malice Tarashibo... head of Undead Relations

*Malice, having overheard what the General had said smirks slightly*

Malice: My people are best for submarine work... its always dark, andif we sink we can walk home along the sea bed

*the tall thin man laughs softly, then nods to Eris*

Malice: I'll do that M'lady
http://www.cybersluagh.com/ErisKallisti/malice.jpg

Admiral Chegwhitten interrupted the conversation between Eris and the others,

"Pardon me your Highness..But since you stated your nation's military expertise is in naval combat. Well..perhaps I can then have NADOK transfer a number of its ships under the command of your admirals. That can then bolster the strenght of your naval forces." Heleina smiled and nodded in agreement, Mueller a bit confounded at the idea but he kept his mouth shut as the Admiral continued,

"Michael Doenitz is captain of one of our most prestigous of sub groups but has experience in surface ship combat, he can be transferred to your command under your approval."

*Eris nods to the Admiral, and smiles again*

That sounds like a good idea, I can keep the subs and ships in constant contact. One of our favorite things to do was to station a sub under each ship. It usualy works well and makes the subs slightly harder to track

*She leans over to listen to the bunny and furrows her brow a little*

If you think that's best I guess I could... I mean I can always move again later....

*She sighs thinking about it for a bit*

The Admiral rises from his seat and speaks with a smile,

"Then I'll be going to make contact with NADOK, have them begin prepping their ships to ready to arrive...If you'll excuse me."

Heleina nodded as Chegwhitten saluted her, he then turned and did a half-bow to Eris before making his departure. He reaches inside his pants pocket to pull out a cellphone to make the call.

*Eris nods to the Admiral and smiles again. Hopefully this would work out well*

The general leans towards Tyrone and whispers "I'll never understand these magic users and elves. If I had a dime for every time I lost a good soldier and wanted to raise him from the dead..."

The general leans towards Tyrone and whispers "I'll never understand these magic users and elves. If I had a dime for every time I lost a good soldier and wanted to raise him from the dead..."*Malice overhears the General and chuckles again. Most forget how good a vampire's hearing is*

Belive me... raising up a zombie is not something that should be done lightly... they're not very smart and have a tendancy to attack pretty much anything, friend or foe. There are very few intelligent zombies that we've been able to find, and even they have disgusting habbits. Luckly we've found a flesh substitute for them to eat.

*He gets on his cellphone and speaks in some unknown language to the person on the other line about getting together some more troops. after a moment he hangs up and finds a chair to sit in*

The General smirks at Malice. "You're a vampire, eh? I suppose you get some sort of blood substitute then."

The General smirks at Malice. "You're a vampire, eh? I suppose you get some sort of blood substitute then."*Malice nods looking rather stoic suddenly*

Sometimes... other time we just buy what we need from blood banks

*he shrugs a little and leans back in his chair*

Garand laughs and takes another swig from his flask. "You and I should get along just fine. Have you ever fought in any battles, or are you just the representative?"

*Malice raises an eyebrow*

I have no taste for war really... I had enough of them in the past 200 years

*he sighs*

I'm the representitive here and have been for a long time. Pavis Noir, our millitary General is my childe

Garand caps his flask and puts it back in his pocket. "I had a vampiric Argonian on my staff one time, not much fun when he got hungry. Good fighter, just couldn't go out into the sunlight, or else he'd start to smoke. He finally lost it one day and Dekker had to kill him." The General shrugs dismissivly.

Victoria's ear peice bleeps...

She leans over to Eris..."I'm afraid that the bunny may have been comprimised...it will now only use heavier coding...I'm afraid the oppostion may be abusing his Mod powers..."

She shakes her head..."But the good news is that a potential ally that was going to be 'shut out' of the proceedings has decided to offer his fleet into our care for this event." She smiles..."well we shall give them good leadership and no greater danger than our own fleets..."

Good fighter, just couldn't go out into the sunlight, or else he'd start to smoke. He finally lost it one day and Dekker had to kill him." The General shrugs dismissivly.*he frowns slightly and shrugs a bit*

Some just can't handle vamperism I guess... too bad really... the sunlight thing is a setback, but that's why I invest in big hats and umbrellas

Garand's silent shadow, Tyrone, pipes up. "One thing's been botherin' me, yo highness. What's with the rabbit?"

Victoria's ear peice bleeps...

She leans over to Eris..."I'm afraid that the bunny may have been comprimised...it will now only use heavier coding...I'm afraid the oppostion may be abusing his Mod powers..."

what happened?

((A&H you have AIM, Yahoo, or ICQ? I've got all three))

OOC: Hmm, well none, but what is ICQ ? (AIM, and Yahoo and my network don't get along.)

Victoria looks at the man...
"Also a plan is being formed that may prove effective, but I need to look at the data on Melkor..."

security edit:

Garand's silent shadow, Tyrone, pipes up. "One thing's been botherin' me, yo highness. What's with the rabbit?"*Eris looks to Tyrone*

... that's a long story... lets just say he's a represntitive of one of our other allies.

*She pets the bunny gently*

Garand tilts his grey head, thinking. "Come to think of it, there's another vampiric Argonian I know of, by the name of Bladeclaw. Used to be a vampire hunter, but he was infected during a raid. Still a decent fellow, only he can't pick up his silver sword anymore. Always goes about in a black cloak. I'll have to introduce you to him sometime." Tyrone nods. "Just curious." He says as he settles back into his chair.

*Malice sighs a bit*

I think I've heard of the name Bladeclaw before... I could be mistaken though.... my kind of vampire has no allergys to silver, but the lycanthropes around here do....

((A&H- its another instant messenger http://web.icq.com/ ))

"I'm in the process of having a few of my people negotiate with the Arognians in the Black Marsh (OOC: Nation by the name of Wandering Argonians) to help us out. They aren't very big, but they are good for surprise attacks. Maybe I can get Redscale to haul his scaly butt over here and talk to you, your highness." Garand says as he checks a PDA he removes from a second cargo pocket.

"Maybe I can get Redscale to haul his scaly butt over here and talk to you, your highness." Garand says as he checks a PDA he removes from a second cargo pocket.*Eris nods to Garand*

anyone who wants to help is wellcome to come here.

The bunny says
found new security net ICQ protocol...downloading new program...nickname: Alconag

OOC: found it, I'm still trying to figure out how to use it though...
use it too keep in touch...although right at the moment I don't think Melkor is paying attention to you...me perhaps...UAA yes...

Garand whips out a cell phone and starts tapping in numbers "Let me get on the horn with my Comm officer here.. (OOC: I'll telegram him when I'm done here)" Garand holds the phone up to his mouth. "Quincy? Get a runner over to the Black Marsh and tell Redscale I'd like to have a word with him." The General closes the phone. "I'll have to appologise, your highness, those Argonians don't really like technology. It'll be a bit before we can get a response."

The bunny says

*She nods*

good.. my Nick name on there is Eris Kallisti acctualy... I also have a hidden one called IvyLynn ((my main one)). The numbers are: 313703998 and 217828748

((OOC: the screen names actualy don't really matter. its your number it goes by))

its ok. I'm sure we'll still be here when they respond

Garand's cell phone chrips out the Marine Corps fight song. He opens it up. "Hello?" Redscale hisses at him. His voice is loud enough for all who are gathered to hear. "May Makaal damn you and your softskinned vehicles, Garand! I thought some sort of vile demon-beast was charging through the village, but in reality it was only one of your messengers on a mechanical horse! Why do you disturb me?"

Victoria smiles...
"well, at the moment...I need to go look through my brothers stuff...before someone from Lords shows up looking for 'relics'...my sister isn't going to be happy when she get's home and finds out she's a great aunt already" She get up and walks towards the guest rooms..."just tell the bunny anything you need to know..."

OOC: Ergh, not again....
Let's just say that Jai temporarily caught that Ares coma disease. ^_^
IC:
Jai had been holding his hand to his ear for a while now, his smile widening the entire time. What he now knew could change the face of this battle.

Garand shouts back into the phone. "Ahh quit yer complainin' ya overgrown lizard! Is that any way to greet an old friend?"

Redscale leans on the motorcycle that the MS messenger rode in on, holding the radio mic in a clawed hand. "If your old friend is an old drunk, then yes, this is how such a friend is greeted. I ask again: What do you want?"

Edit: Double Post.

OOC: watch using Tg resi...

Garand assumes a more comfortable position in the chair. "I have a proposition for you: You swim yourself over to the Empire of Eris Kallisti and we talk for a bit. Then I owe you a favor, how does that sound?"

Redscale growls. "Alright, Garand. I will swim to this land, but it will be a long trip. I will bring escorts, Whiptail among them. Despite what you say, he does not scare the softskins. You WILL owe me a very large favor, maybe some more of your magic fire water, bourbon, I believe is the softskin name for it."

Garand closes the cell phone with a triumphant grin. "Well that settles it, I guess. He's on his way." The General props his feet up on the table as he leans back in the chair.

[first part edited out due to the cell phone call ending]

"Well," Jai began, now addressing everyone who wasn't on a cell phone, "We have a couple of bits of good news, all technologically related. First off, mass-production of our Raven Units has begun. Furthermore, we will also begin to sell them to all here who would want them. Also, due to a little accedent a couple of years ago involving hoverdynes, we now have these babies..."
Washu presses another button, and the following picture is projected into the middle of the table.
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/53887/34.jpg
Washu picked up from where Jai left off. "These are Plasma Tanks," she said, "They use intense energy weapons that can puncture through almost any type of armor. Also, due to their hovering nature, they can drive over water, as long as hostile weather conditions are not encountered. These, however, are not for sale as of yet."

Garand nods towards the hologram. "Nice tank. My question is, what's a 'Raven'?"

Garand nods towards the hologram. "Nice tank.""Thanks," Washu says with a wink at Garand, "I made 'em myself. Anyway, when I say 'most types of armor', I mean including Gravships. We now have a cheap and effective way to down Melkor's cheif weapons."
Washu leans back in her chair and stretches.
"THAT's why this is so important."

Garand grins wolfishly. "Finally, some good news. Now how do we do that?"

"What's the range on those plasma cannons?" says an Alconain Marine officer who is walking by at the moment...

Garand looks up at the officer. "That's a good question, son."

"What's the range on those plasma cannons?" says an Alconain Marine officer who is walking by at the moment..."Because Plasma is pretty close to pure energy, it's pretty close to unlimited range as far as we're concerned. If we were a space nation we might have to consider its range, but here on Earth we don't have to worry about a thing like that."

Garand leaned towards the hologram, with a furrow of concern in his brow. "You still have to worry about collateral damage, so you might want to figure out how far the blasts go. You don't wanna zap some poor bastard's farmhouse during a firefight when you miss your target."

Garand leaned towards the hologram, with a furrow of concern in his brow. "You still have to worry about collateral damage, so you might want to figure out how far the blasts go. You don't wanna zap some poor bastard's farmhouse during a firefight when you miss your target.""Due to the curvature of the Earth, if we miss a shot, odds are that it really won't hit anything unless it was fired out of a valley or something."

Garand waves a hand in dismissal. "Whatever. When does the first one roll off of the assembly line?"

((heheh trying to catch up. I log off NS for a bit to RP on ER and all the sudden Resi pops back on LOL))

*Eris has just been sitting and watching, listening, and scratching her head a little*

wow Jai... I just hope you don't expect my people to be able to handle one of those

*she chuckles and Nix walks over to her and wispers something*

I've been told by our new Fnord Handler that our fnord launchers are functional now. Unfortunately they can only be handled by my temple priests and Priestesses... and they really have no effect when used off of Kallistian soil untill the upgrades aremade. They're good for defence here though.

*Nix hands her a file and she lays out the pictures of the two types they have*

http://www.cybersluagh.com/ErisKallisti/groundfnordlauncher.jpg

General Garand scratches his head. "Your highness, what's a 'Fnord'?"

General Garand scratches his head. "Your highness, what's a 'Fnord'?"*In mid sip of her drink Eris starts to chuckle and coughs a bit. She motions over Nix to explain*

Nix: Fnords are rather complex yet simple... they are like balls of chaos, but are invisible to most people. The fnords I harvest are roughly the size of a small cannon ball and weigh nothing. They will disrupt 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.

*Nix smiles a bit*

((OOC: LOL here's some deffinitions of what a fnord is, its a Discordian thing: Fnord is evaporated herbal tea without the herbs. Fnord is that funny feeling you get when you reach for the Snickers bar and come back holding a slurpee. Fnord is the 43 1/3rd state, next to Wyoming. Fnord is the reason boxes of condoms carry twelve instead of ten. Fnord is the empty pages at the end of the book. Fnord is why ducks eat trees. Fnord is an apostrophe on drugs. Fnord is the echo of silence. Fnord is the color only blind people can see. Fnord is a sentient vacuum cleaner. Fnord is the smallest number greater than zero. Fnord is Jesus's speech advisor ((<--hehe my personal fave)). Fnord is why doctors ask you to cough. Fnord was last seen in Omaha, Nebraska...... and I didn't make any of those up hehe those are from a Discordian website))

Redscale, dripping with seawater, enters the room. He is flanked by a second Argonian, who is jet-black and wears a pair of strange-looking swords. Redscale lays a silver spear down on the table in front of the Empress. "A peace offering." He says. The spear is engraved with numerous elaborate runes and archaic designs. It glows with a dim inner blue light. "Another metal beast?" Redscale growls, seeing the plasma tank hologram hovering above the table. He and his escort take seats at the far end of the table.

Eris: Thank you... you must be Redscale. A pleasure to meet you. I'm Empress Eris.

*She runs her fingers over the spear a little*

Garand waves a hand in dismissal. "Whatever. When does the first one roll off of the assembly line?""Soon as I press the {ENTER} key," Washu says with satisfaction, hitting the key and causing a massive machine over a thousand miles away to roar to life.
"He he..." Washu thinks, "I love this laptop almost as much as I love Daniel..."

wow Jai... I just hope you don't expect my people to be able to handle one of those"And I hope you don't expect my people to even be able to comprehend how a fnord launcher works," Jai says, looking at Eris with a smile.

I don't dear, don't worry. Hopefully we won't even need to use the fnord launchers though... they have a tendancy to backfire sometimes or melt down. That's why their kept in the temples

"I trust you enjoy your gift, your highness? It was crafted from the finest silver ore, and honed to a razor's edge. It is the pride and joy of Silvertongue, our blacksmith." Redscale said in the gravelly accent of Argonians who speak english. "As General Garand has probably mentioned before, we do not trust technology. My assosicate, Whiptail, who is a Dark Argonian, begs to differ. He values the firesticks that the General sent us two years ago. We might be able to provide some assistance against this Melkor being, but it will have to be in the form of several ambushes along supply lines, things of that sort."

*She smiles to Redscale and nods*

Its a beautiful piece. Too perfect to be used in war, I'll have it displayed in my new palace once its compleatly refurnished

*She could understand him well, supprizingly enough*

We're happy that you've come to aid us... I take it your people are good swimmers. Perhaps we could have you on one of our boats and you could swim over to one of the enemy boats and ambush it... just a thought, if your interested... if not I'm sure we could work something else out

Redscale's fearsome looking assistant nods. "It would be an honor. We will gladly slay those who oppose our allies." Redscale truns to Whiptail, a scowl on his reptillian features. "We Argonians are not as blood-thirsty as our Dark Argonian brethern." Whiptail obviously takes offense to this, but says nothing.

*Eris nods slowly and smiles a little. Part of her wondered if these guys would get along with the werealligators that lived in downtown of Kallisti City*

It all boils down to what you want to do. I'll not make your decisions for you

The general nods towards his old friend from his seat. "Good to see you could make it, Redscale." He points towards Whiptail "You an' Dekker need to spar again sometime, maybe after the war's over."

Whiptail pointed back at the General, but with his unusually long tail. "I'll take him up on that." He turns to the Empress. "Your highness, we are more than a match for some mere beast. Our homeland is a wild and untamed marsh, filled with creatures twisted by dark and perverse magics. We are primitive, but highy capable warriors."

I never said anything about beasts, and I don't doubt your abilities

Redscale spoke. "I appologise, your highness, my assistant does not know his place. He is somewhat telepathic apparently. Relations between our peoples has been somewhat rocky as of late."

OOC: I'm out for an hour or so, anyone gonna be on later?

Redscale spoke. "I appologise, your highness, my assistant does not know his place. He is somewhat telepathic apparently. Relations between our peoples has been somewhat rocky as of late."*She chuckles softly*

ahh.. then my inner comment about the werealigators... they are not beasts. Their sentiant and civil... when not angered at least. I was mearly wondering about them getting along with your people. They call themselves Mokole'. I don't know a lot about them though. Most of the time they appear quite human, but they have the ability to change forms.

((OOC: I should be here *nods* If not I'll be on tomarrow))

*** Enters with "Party" favors in hand! ****

He had never heard of werealigators. 'Interesting...' Daniel thought and raised his eyebrow at this, but said nothing. He felt he didn't have a right to saying something about anything. He had no control over Rastaban entering the war. His was the queen, he was just a prince. Though she was trying to help in her own way.

'Which reminds me,' he thought, 'I wonder how things are going with that.' He checked his phone. No messages. He'd have to sit back and wait.

Washu yawns and stretches, after which one of her arms "accedentially" wraps around Daniel's shoulders on the way down.

Then she hears the comment about Whiptail's telepathic abilities. This piqued her curiosity.
"Hey," she thinks in the direction of Whiptail, "Can you hear me?"

((OOC: yay for Pissed Off Americans! join in the RP *grins*))

Washu yawns and stretches, after which one of her arms "accedentially" wraps around Daniel's shoulders on the way down.

Daniel nearly jumped when Washu put her arm around him. He was spacing out and not expecting it. Almost instantly he looked at Jai, making sure he wasn't going to taser him.

He smiled and kissed her temple.

Washu raises an eyebrow and looks at Daniel.
"What's wrong? You seem a little... on edge."

He gave her a reasuring smile. "Nothing. I'm just worried. That's all. War, talk of war, is never a good thing. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

*Alex Wazzat sends Eris word over fax that some ofthe allies are already starting to deploy*

damnit.... We're not ready yet...

Archon Mieka strides purposefully towards the sounds of the party; ignoring the whine of the Raider transport that brought her fading away behind her. She is clad in a flamboyant dress that has only a passing acquiantance with the concepts of "decency" or "modesty"; being black with blue trim, the dress leaves virtually nothing to the imagination, only barely concealing anything of actual interest. It accentuates her tall, slim form that could, at times, nearly be considered lanky. Her face seems to be chiseled from marble, a cool mask of sharp, angular features. Deep-set in their sockets, her jade eyes glint with an inner light so wild it's almost feral.

Her blue-and-black high heels echo on the street leading to the square, and make her already long legs, glimpsed in the slits up the side of the drees, seem that much longer. A little smile lights upon her lips as the square comes into view. As she draws closer, she scans the crowd for the visage of the one known as Nix, whos features she had already memorised. She could hardly wait for the fun to begin.

Victoria comes back downstairs with what looks like a large metal case...she sits down and looks over the group...
"Some of the preliminary work has begun, and we are awaiting the arrival of even more forces...but does anyone know who the woman is approaching the palace? My ship noted her landing before now..."

*Eris looks over to a small view screen when Victoria spoke and fiddled with some switches. Tilting her head at the image of the woman her brow furrowed slightly. Nia came over to look then smirked slightly with a soft chuckle*

Nia: I belive that's the company Nix was expecting

*Nix raises an eyebrow then shrugs a bit as it stood up*

Nix: I'll have my comlink on if anyone needs me for anything.

*Running a hand through its hair Nix headed out the main doors and towards the square. Eris watched it leave then made a motion to one of the gaurds*

Eris: Keep an eye on Nix... make sure nothing goes wrong.... but try and stay unseen

*The guard nodded and headed out the doors as well. The Fnord Handler wasn't just an offical to Eris, it was one of her creations, the closest thing she had to a child... she'd already lost one, she wasn't going to loose another.... Nix squeezed past the partying people and straightened its shirt a little. If there was one word to discribe it, it would be androgynous. It was impossible to tell what gender it might be, and it seemed rather comfortable with that. There were just too many people out here though... so Nix moved towards the light up elephant they had recieved from the nation of Well Being. It would just wait there.*

She pauses a short distance from the edge of the crowd; despite being eager to get this done, just the thought of actually touching humans, being caught in the smelly, primitive mob turned her stomach. Well, sacrifices had been made in the past, and she was certainly not unable to defend herself if the mon-keigh turned violent as they were wont to do. She checks the weapon hidden betwen her dress, and then resolutely steps forwards towards the crowd, to find Nix.*Nix was standing near the middle of he square. There were people everywhere and loud music was playing. The people were happy, drinking, smoking, making out where ever they could find room. Kallistians were known for their loud and wild parties.... it seemed none of them even realized that their troops would be heading to war soon. Or perhaps they did, and this was also a giant good luck/farewell party forthem. Nix was in a great mood and was happy to see the people in such high spirits. It's face was rather stoic though as it looked over thr crowd. Soon enough it saw the woman heading through the crowd as if looking for someone. Nix raised its hand and waved slightly, hopeing to catch her attention. An emotion started to bubble up though, nerviousness.... hopefully this would go well*

*Eris looks over her faxes from her intelegance gatherers. Troops from all over weremobleizing and she had to do the same... and quickly. She looked to the others, and stood up, putting her hands on the table*

We have to figure out who is in charge of what and right now... this can't wait any longer people. We have to ship out -soon-

"Point us in the direction of the conflict," Jai said smugly, "and we'll back you 100%. I can't have you stressing out over the saftey of your people, now can I?"

A turquoise jumbo jet from Well Being lands and begins a bustle of activity that is soon revealed to be a parade of jugglers, acrobats, clowns, and a marching band. They're mostly teen-age kids. The parade also includes 2 gaily decorated trucks heavily laden with boxes. If no one objects, the parade winds from the airport to the elephant, playing salsa music and giving away commerative coins with Empress Eris's face on one side and an orc face with a slash through it on the other side. When they reach the park, they spread out looking for people to amuse. The band tries to organize a dance contest. A purple giraffe, a green bear, a yellow carp and a blue platypus soon join the elephant.
An older woman wanders away from the party, apparently to admire the architecture.

*A small aircraft lands with a splash in a lake nearby the party. It is "taxied" towards a dock, and a woman, accopmanied by two heaivly armed and armoured men, got out, and went up to the gates. The man on the ladies left spoke. "This is Mrs Drake Silton, the second Prime Minister of The MOBTIW. We were informed of this place by the leaders of Swirrhirr, and was accepted into the battle by the leaders of Eris Kallisti. She should of told you about our coming. May we enter?"*

((OOC: I'm trying to catch up badly. forgive me... damn that thing called RL hehe and its a Sunday to boot. gah... I have way too much stuff that goes on for me on Sundays... anyway. Some of us didn't make the cut so we're taking on extra armies from those who didn't make it. I'll just say these people don't want to be seen as -directly- being involved so their having us take their armies into war for us. Sound good? I thought so. hehe))

*Faxes start pouring in from all over and she gives each of them a quick look over, looking more and more frustrated*

ok... It seems we have more allies showing up and more armies... how many of us can command these armies? We'll need to split them up and head towards Melkor's homeland as quickly as we can...

*She looks to Jai, Silver, Victoria((is that the name of A&H's leader person here? gah sorry)) and the leader of the Mercenary Soldiers*

I think we will have to take the main command of our little alliance here. I'd prefere to only handle naval, possibly just any submarines if possible. Some one will need to handle the land armies and another can handle the airforce. Of course I encourage you too keep your own forces even if they overlap into the main sections each of us will be covering.

*She looks to the rest and smiles, putting her hands on the table*

We need to know exactly what you're giving us to work with so we can devide it up as to who should lead what. Anything your people can send us will be of help. The war has started... hopefully we'll be some fresh faces to help out. I'm not in a huge hurry because there is something to be said for a fresh wave of troops.

((OOC: I'm not good at discribeing millitary, so you guys will have to list what your giving us. also... be -very- carefull about how much you give. keep in mind the age of your nation, your population, and things like that. I'll keep a big list as to who gives what so no one can yell at us for Godmodeing))
((OOC: hey Pissed Off Americans. you gonna join in the RP or are you just going to TG me as to what you're contributeing?... on second thought... I'll TG this message to him hehe *facepalm* duh hehe))

*A small aircraft lands with a splash in a lake nearby the party. It is "taxied" towards a dock, and a woman, accopmanied by two heaivly armed and armoured men, got out, and went up to the gates. The man on the ladies left spoke. "This is Mrs Drake Silton, the second Prime Minister of The MOBTIW. We were informed of this place by the leaders of Swirrhirr, and was accepted into the battle by the leaders of Eris Kallisti. She should of told you about our coming. May we enter?"**The gaurd nods*

Your expected... head on in

*he motions them along*

((OOC: they should enter just as Eris started speaking. See message above))

She speaks softly, just loud enough to be heard over the revelry, her words emerging from her lips as a senseless babble. One she realizes, she frowns, annoyed with herself, and switches to English.

"Hello Nix. I have heard much about you," she purrs, deepening her voice into a sensual tone that rolls from the tongue like the feel of silk along flesh. She extends her hand to lightly touch Nix's shoulder. "I am pleased to finally meet you."*Nix smiles a little and nods. It had compleatly understood the woman's words when she had started to speak before she had switched to english. Nix's voice was soft, barely above a whisper yet was strangely able to be heard*

I understood you the first time you spoke. Its good to meet you as well. I look forward to getting to know you... Would you like to go get a drink? There's a wine stall over there

*It motions towards a tent-like structure with people entering and leaving*

[quote="Eris KallistiIt had compleatly understood the woman's words when she had started to speak before she had switched to english. [/quote]

((makes mental Note No Eldar as Encryption if trying to sneak a message past Eris... It's the perfect Encryption usually as well. Sly tag))

*The lady entered, and then told her two bodyguards to stay behind.She was a bit shakey, but was trying not to show it. She sat down, and introduced herself.*
Hello. I'm, er, Drake Silton, of The MOBTIW. I'm honoured to be here, among this great number of leaders. And, um, you may want to know, although The MOBTIW has a rather small and weak army, we have a rapidly developing navy and a rather strong Air Force. The RMAF, that is, the Republic of the MOBTIW Air Force, could make very good air strikes.
*After this speech, Silton smiled and relaxed, for getting that out of her made her feel better.*
Well, I have a feeling that I have missed much. What is currently going on?

OOC: Just to let you know, although the national leader is a female, I am male. I decided to have her as my nations second prime minister to show that The MOBTIW is not sexist.

"I think forces on both sides are in confusion"...states the bunny...
Victoria nods..."At the moment there is already a high command for this operation, but they are not going to pass up your help..."

****BREAKINGNEWS****BREAKINGNEWS****BREAKINGNEWS*****
From CMN reporter Todd Olson at the Capital.

Due to regrettable actions by Big Brother, The RPA was ommitted from the list of Allied Nations against Melkor. As President I Feel I must still try to help my TRUE allies. And as such I am authorising the DOD to place a large part of the RPA's Offensive capabilities under the command of the Empress. These deployments are as follows:

24th TFW
3rd TFW
18th TFW
5th TFW
219th Combat Support Sqdn
84th Combat Support Sqdn (National Guard)
54th Combat Support Sqdn

51st Strategic Bomber wing
35th Strategic Bomber wing

521st Marine Exped.
1st Marine Exped.
214 VMF Sqdn
54th VMF Sqdn

1st Armored Division
3rd Armored Division
11th ACR
3rd ACR
101st Airborne
24th Mech. Infantry Division
84th Mech. Infantry Division
523rd MP Batalion
12th ADA
50th ADA
430th FA (MLRS)
431st FA (MLRS)

7th Fleet (CBG)
5th Fleet (CBG)
3rd Fleet (CBG)

Included in these deployments are all CSS (Combat Service and Support) units assigned to each TFW, Army Division, Fleets etc...

These deployments are on going as I speak. Other Military help is being established as we speak (Spy Sats, Weather Sat, COMM Sat). My fellow Pissed off Americans, this is not over and we shall help our Allies in anyway possible to the bitter end. We shall stand victorious! God Bless us all, Good Night.

OOC: Ah, can any of that be used in a naval assult (as has naval assult equipment?)

OOC: Gonna be gone for a little (not that I've been on here much :oops: ) just to let ya all know. Resi, keep Danny-boy safe. Make sure he doen't get into trouble. And NO tasering him, got that? ::eyes Resi:: :P

OOC; A and H yes. Each Fleet consists of 2 CBG (Carrier Battle Groups)
1 BBG (Battleship Group) 2 ABG (Amphibious Battle Groups)

1 CBG= 2 Nimitz class Carriers, 2 Guided Missle Crusiers, 6 Destoryers,10 Frigates, 4 Aux, 2 SSBN (Ohio Class) and 6 SSN (LA Class)

1 BBG= 1 Battleship (Iowa Class) 2 Guided Missile Crusiers, 4 Destoyers
8 Frigates, 1 SSBN (Ohio), 2 SSN (LA Class), 2 Aux

1 ABG= 2 LHA (23 Helo's, 6 AV-8B Harriers 4 LCAC's, 24 Light Armored Vehicles and 1800 Troops each) 3 LPD's (2 Helo's, 4 LCAC's, 24 Light Armored Vehicle and 750 troops each) 12 LST's (36 light Armored Vehicles and 300 Troops each) 1 Guided Missile Crusier, 2 Destroyers and 4 Frigates.

So long answer to short question YES! use freely!

Just to say do you remember me?

OOC: Contribution is welcome, may only be able to use in defensive role...need ruling.

OOC; NP, there are more if needed. Give em hell!

Victoria leans over to Eris,
"I request one of those fleets be sent to help protect us, it will free up some more surface naval forces...thanks"

OOC: No go...but can be used for defense...rules committee

TO: COMSUBLANTFLT

FROM: CIC

NWSE 2684****ADVISORY*****

Proceed to GRID P154863 for relief in place. Royal Navy Forces are to be sent from P154863 to present war zone. Mission: Provide Territorial Defense for the Nations of Eris Kallisti and Alcona and Hubris. Contact Command when set. Conduct of Operation: Establish CAP from PL5548 Sector 1 to RL1982 Sector 5 notify command of IFF, Commence ASW ops, Prepare AAG November for possible Port protection Ops. weapons: YELLOW tight.

**********END ADVISORY **************


Two F-14D's flying high above the fleet;

Rouge One: I understand we are heading to Eris Kallisti again.

Viper: No S*&T, I love that place. Dude, I just want one peek at that Empress. I hear she is HOT!

AWACS Command: ROUGE FLIGHT KNOCK IT OFF.. BE ADVISED YOU ARE UNSECURE, I REPEAT UNSECURE FREQ!

Viper: Whooops, VIPER clear.

*She looks to Jai, Silver, Victoria((is that the name of A&H's leader person here? gah sorry)) and the leader of the Mercenary Soldiers*

I think we will have to take the main command of our little alliance here. I'd prefere to only handle naval, possibly just any submarines if possible. Some one will need to handle the land armies and another can handle the airforce. Of course I encourage you too keep your own forces even if they overlap into the main sections each of us will be covering.



What about me? Trix? :cry:

OOC: P.O.A. donate your stuff here
http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61414

OOC: I have to say. I've been keeping up with this thread and it's remarkable that you guys have everything under control even when people are gone for over two hours.

I would just like to say that Pendral Vale is willing to donate Arms if need be. For the Fnord launchers would be best used in a state of emergency.

Eris, hon, TG me when you get the chance.

OOC: And as per above. Thanestid is also willing to support The Kallistan Empire. Diplomats will be sent as soon as I can log on again.

I think that its time for me to say what I can use in this battle:

18 B-2 Stealth Bombers
20 F-4F Phantom IIs
10 Dassult Mirage IIIs
15 AH-64A Apaches
6 Amphibious Transports (for humans and supplies)
5 Destroyers
3 Battleships
1 Aircraft Carrier
30 Spys
50 Snipers
20,000 Soldiers

Thats what we are donating to the war. Is there any leader that would do good with use of these people/items? I need one that is a veteren of war.

Just to say do you remember me?
((OOC: yes I do... stay the hell out of my threads *growls* I'm not in the mood to deal with you. Your not a part of this RP or any other RP I'm in... you not even a part of the war. Your one of the few nations I have on ignore. You and Parthenon(sp?). I don't care who owns it now or whatever. Untill I get formal and public OOC apologies from both of you for your immaturity stay the f*ck away from me. you are the weakest link. goodbye.))

Victoria leans over to Eris,
"I request one of those fleets be sent to help protect us, it will free up some more surface naval forces...thanks"

OOC: No go...but can be used for defense...rules committee
*Eris nods to Victoria*

Sounds good to me... We all need to cover our asses in this

Hello. I'm, er, Drake Silton, of The MOBTIW. I'm honoured to be here, among this great number of leaders. And, um, you may want to know, although The MOBTIW has a rather small and weak army, we have a rapidly developing navy and a rather strong Air Force.

*After this speech, Silton smiled and relaxed, for getting that out of her made her feel better.**Eris smiles at Drake*

Its good to have you aboard Drake. Hopefully we can give the anti-Melkor side an extra push in their time of need.... I'm Empress Eris of Eris Kallisti.

*She motions to the others*

We're all just trying to help the best we can

What about me? Trix? :cry:

((OOC: Trixia... did you get OKed for joining in the main fight with Melkor? if so you can help command soem things. If not just donate what you can to the cause))

((gah.. damn those double posts))

OOC: Eris, I'm offically out, I can't stand Melkor's ignore pattern anymore and some of his comments elsewhere have just gotten under my skin way too much...I'm too pissed off ath the player to have anything more to do with him...

Need any assistance, like guns, tanks, ships, training, I'll be glad to help.

((OOC: ok.. I think I replyed to everything that needed replying to on this thread so far... if I missed something I'm soooo sorry. I'm in a bit of a rush here so I can get things done before this computer crashes on me again. Just to let you all know, my phone got shut off so I'll not be online as much untill Thrusday when we can get the phone turned back on. So sorry people. If ya'll can do what you can without me go ahead and do it. I'll try and keep up with at least this thread via the in-laws computer, buit its been known to crash lately for no apparent reason. Game on.))

I'm gonna try and do this the best I can... damnit... the first real war I'm in and its constantly turning into this crap :roll: ))

OOC: Understood, I'll just start on a post about the arrival of those ships I promised you as well as the ground forces.

Could I see a list of the nations on our side and against us? Then could you maybe assign us a nation to attack? Our goverment has decided to control our own military, and not let someone else borrow it.

OOC: Eris, I'm offically out, I can't stand Melkor's ignore pattern anymore and some of his comments elsewhere have just gotten under my skin way too much...I'm too pissed off ath the player to have anything more to do with him...


OOC: Expect more of the same. Lots of "oh, didn't I mention that I have.... that stops your attack". This is what usually happens to NS World Wars. That's what was so cool about the Amerigo Slave Conflict; both sides used diplomacy as well as military (and a war mod). I don't expect to see that here. Ask Kittsylvania for advice. He's seen more of this than me and he was the mod for the Slave Conflict.
Good Luck and Well Being

((OOC: I'm back finaly. can someone who's been paying attention to the war please TG me and give me a rundown? I'm so lost.... damn phone lines and blackouts))

*Nix smiles a little and nods. It had compleatly understood the woman's words when she had started to speak before she had switched to english. Nix's voice was soft, barely above a whisper yet was strangely able to be heard*

I understood you the first time you spoke. Its good to meet you as well. I look forward to getting to know you... Would you like to go get a drink? There's a wine stall over there

*It motions towards a tent-like structure with people entering and leaving*She glances at the tent, and stuggles for a moment to remember what wine is. Oh, alcohol.

Shaking her head a little, she says, "No. You got get some, if you want it, but I do not drink." She smirks a little inwardly, contemplating the other, more enjoyable things she does instead of drinking.

"Tell me about yourself, Nix."*Nix tilts its head slightly and blinks*

I was going to say the same thing to you. You seem to know a lot more about me then I know about you... in a sense... What would you like to know about me exactly?

*It smiles a little and motions to a bench to sit on. Nix had no -need- to eat or drink, but it kept up appearances usualy and it gave it something to do with its hands.*

*Nia Starr tilts her head slightly, listening to messages over her com-unit. Eris gives her a frustrated but knowing look. Slowly the elf stands and excuses herself and heads out to the front of the palace to see what's going on... something was wrong. As she stood Callisto sends her a message too. She frowns and hurries outside*

The messenger also brings a message to the main Eris party, any nation not on the Operation St Dominic page with access to the war, and Orbital Assult capabilties to inform me, we have a special Plan and need a volunteer or two.

The messenger also brings a message to the main Eris party, any nation not on the Operation St Dominic page with access to the war, and Orbital Assult capabilties to inform me, we have a special Plan and need a volunteer or two.Ill gladly volunteer, as long as you say the plan.

*Eris makes a slight face*

I have no way of helping with an orbital assult....

*She looks to the MOBTIW leader and nods*

If you can help in any way please do...

*Her eyes go to the lists of troops she had at her dispoal*

We're going to need more ammo for the subs. Perhaps some heat seaking missiles would be in order. I'll have the submarines I have manned with undead and 5 elves to each sub as well to power it in shifts. I can't afford to lose too many clones, but the undead have a better chance of surviveing if the sub sinks. The elves going along know the risks.... I need a complete list of all the submarines and ships under my comand so I know how many troops I'll need.

*Eris rubs her temple slightly.. all the info she was getting from the main front wasn't sounding good.. they needed a fresh fleet, and unfortunately she appeared to be the only one who haddn't deployed yet*

OOC: I have returned from my week-long vacation. What has happened recently?

OOC: I have returned from my week-long vacation. What has happened recently?OOC: not a whole lot... a few Kallistian citizens and Nix have been kidnapped, but most people in the party here know about that. Still just discussing things I guess. Resi will be offline for a while. He's in Hawaii IRL

OOC: Has the war started yet? I've been out for a bit due to the blackouts and a faulty phone line.

OOC: the war has been going on for a while now... I'm not exactly sure how its going anymore, doesn't look good

OOC: Where's the war topic at, so I can get into the damnable racket of battle.

OOC:
Ground war: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=62241
Naval: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61937
those are the only ones I know of right now... ask around. there's more

OOC: Thanks EK. Who's in charge of our forces, I'll get the infantry divisions saddled up and ready.

OOC: I do not believe I can participate in this conflict, so I will give a few battallions of warriors to Mercenary Soldiers, and to Eris Kallisti for useage in their boats, for boarding actions and such.

I just got informed by Tor Yvresse of the exact plan. I am handing over my 1,000,000 soldiers to the leaders in Eris Kallisti.
*Looks at Eris.*
I hope that you will take good care of them. As for the rest of my military, my navy of 1 aircraft carrier, 10 battleships, 30 destroyers, and 400,000 soldiers to man them. Is there anyone here that would like to command that? When my forces go into the war, I will send supplies (ammo, food, water, and docters) by air and amphibious transports. Now, as for the plan, I will need a bit more help from nations that are have orbital assult technology. The MOBTIW has some, but it really isnt that good. I will tell more to volunteers.

((OOC: I'm not sure what's happening in the war anymore... I'm still going to RP this all out though. It seems Melkor doesn't like the idea of people lending troops and fleets and such. We'll just roll with it though and play it out as if we're sending them out anyway *sighs* I'm not loosing all these weeks of RP over such a stupid detail he doesn't like. Any objections?))

*Eris nods slowly*

Thank you for all your help. I'll have General Noir get the fleets ready to depart from the harbor shortly. Its about time for them to go...

*She seems slightly distracted but is forcing herself to concentrate on what's going on inthis room then splitting her attention. She pulls her hidden comlink out of her ear and it dangles against her neck now instead.*

OOC: Hey, that's what we get for going to war with a game moderator. I lost the war thread again, I don't know who our leader is, and I'm completely out of the loop. I was beginning to wonder what happened to this RP, there's been little activity lately.

OOC: Just to let you know, todays the first day of school for me, so I wont be able to get on that much.
IC: Is there any nation here that would like to volunteer for this attack? I need a nation with good outer space technology. Or even just a good air force. Anyone?

OOC: They are on their fourth leader....

Angleus was Ignored out of existance
Ur is gone
Yor Tyvesse is out...
I'm out...

This war is not going well and central command has fallen apart.
I'd wait for the return of Ruhr since they seem to be the most sentiant and look at the MAGE front threads...

((OOC: gah... this is silly. I say we just play this out as if our troops went and then came back. No one lost much and we're all ok for the most part *sighs* I was hopeing to have a good side RP with the war going on but I see that's not going to happen. We'll just roll with it I guess cuz I don't want to rewind this whole damn thing))

*The troops have been sent out. Unfortunately the war was a mad house and it was almost impossible to tell who was fighting who and none of our troops were powerfull enough to face Melkor himself. After about a week of fighting the troops headed back to the ports*
------
*Eris leans back in her chair and sighs.*

I think its best we all fortify our nations the best we can incase Melkor decides to come after us smaller nations....

((I'm not sure but after this I might put Melkor on my ignore. I haven't decided yet... I just don't want to deal with all this bullshit again.... I tried to play fair and got shot down very time. I think I've had enough))

OOC: How about we start some kind of strike against Melkor. We all IGNORE him! That should be fun. I think that ignoring him would be much better that going to war. HA, my motto is right.

OOC:
Join the Club...
The Ignore Melkor Club...
He is just is some silly little brats head...
36 holes of Golf, Olympic Pool, five star resturants and the warm feeling you get by knowing that those flying bricks of his limited imagination are just cardboard boxes. :lol:

OOC: Does that include a membership badge( :wink: ) :?: Cuz it sounds like fun.... :P

OOC:
Well we do have a badge...yes...
http://www.eng.auburn.edu/users/donatgw/M.I.C.jpg

OOC: Good idea but I was really hoping to see all those damn space dragons explode. Sorry Eris, I hadn't read this when I last TGd you. Never mind about that unless you want to take a swing at that weather changing, emotion controlling, godmod jerk on your way out the door. Sorry, but there's nothing worse than a pissed off pacifist with a nation that just topped 1 billion.

IGNORE Melkor! IGNORE Melkor! Lets make a thread bout this. That would be awesome. Ignoring a mod.

OOC:
You can't ignore him as a Mod...but you can consider his IC statments as being babbled by a five year old child...

Well Being, are you anoyed at Melkor or Mr. Pern...

((OOC: *snickers* I think Melkor dug himself a big fookin' hole OOCly and everyone's just kickin' dirt on his head now. Anyway... I miss the RP. *pouts* can we try and get back on track?))

OOC: Which one? The war or the Party?

OOC: I was really looking forward to a big-arse war, but people don't have any respect for others ideas nowadays, nor do they possess organizational skills. Most of these said people hold positions of power. It's Murphy's Law at work again.

Okay, lets go back to the war. But its going to be hard.

OOC: Both, either, ok dragon boy really got my goat. Give me a break! Pern dragons and Earthsea dragons both? I'm tempted to start a thread musing the idea that most books where magic is common and works well, the world doesn't develop high tech. I don't object to dragons but they need to be kept in context otherwise they are no different from Giant Lobster
http://www.paarlberg.com/images/savethewentworthsmall.gif
and I think we all agree that he is inappropriate in a serious war. (or not...) When Melkor defends that silliness it tells me that he doesn't know the difference between a godmod and a legitimate attack. That thing with the gravships on his coast seemed pretty straightforward but nooo, even something that simple made him whine like a baby. With this lack of discretion, how can he be a reliable mod? I had really better stop before I get deleted.

IC: As evening falls the undead join the mambo in the square. The animals begin to glow softly. "The submariners are safe! They're coming home!" someone shouts and the party steps up a notch.

OOC: Oh no! Giant Lobsters are attacking! Run children! Run for the hills!

:)

((OOC: *snickers* Giant lobsters rawk though! I'm thinking about adding it to my nations history that one attacked Kallisti city before... oh! BTW. Eris Kallisti has a website now! Its still horribly under construction but hey, its something Http://www.cybersluagh.com/ErisKallisti ))

*Eris stands up and moves away from the table. Slowly she makes her way to the balcony. Pulling open the balcony doors she steps out and looks over the people celebrating. Something was troubling her, but she was keeping it to herself for now. Leaning against the railing she sighed and smiled just slightly, attempting to keep herself as happy as she could at the moment.. Hopefully Nix and the others were alright.*

Just launch a clandestrine raid or something to get this Nix person free again, or just ignore the fact that its gone, we're all ignoring the chump anyway.

*There is a ringing noise, and Mrs Silton reaches into a posh moose-skin bag, and answers a cell phone.*
"Hello? Cheif! Hows everything going?"
*All of a sudden, she starts to tremble a bit.*
"Already! Today! Why so soon! It was planned already? But you know how important this is! Yes, I know. Okay. Goodbye."
*She hangs up, and mutters something.*
Im sorry, but I really have to go.
*She walks off towards the door. When she stepped outside, she said to the guards "Its tonight." They walk towards the plane with her, each looking startled.*
OOC: I wish that I could tell you what was going on, but then it could be ruined. Sorry!

A small cargo ship bearing the flag of Pendral Vale can be seen off the coast of Eris Kallisti. It seems to be staying out of range of any attacks that might be going on.

TRANSMISSION

The NightHawk, cargo vessel for The Republic of Pendral Vale, sends its regards to Empress Eris of Eris Kallisti. We are on a diplomatic mission and come bearing gifts for the Empress and her new fiance. We request permission to send a few small ships with these gifts to land on your shores. We are also sending our Ambassador with these gifts. She has an important message for the Empress from our ruler.

Please acknowledge.

END TRANSMISSION

Just launch a clandestrine raid or something to get this Nix person free again, or just ignore the fact that its gone, we're all ignoring the chump anyway.((OOC: I would but I agreed to play this out... the only problem is that I've been waiting for them to respond for days *makes a face* If they don't respond soon I'll bring them back. Gonna give them a little while longer))

OOC: I wish that I could tell you what was going on, but then it could be ruined. Sorry!((OOC: its kewl hehe))

*Eris glances over as they leave... that was odd*

TRANSMISSION

The NightHawk, cargo vessel for The Republic of Pendral Vale, sends its regards to Empress Eris of Eris Kallisti. We are on a diplomatic mission and come bearing gifts for the Empress and her new fiance. We request permission to send a few small ships with these gifts to land on your shores. We are also sending our Ambassador with these gifts. She has an important message for the Empress from our ruler.

Please acknowledge.

END TRANSMISSION*Minister william Talbet answers the transmission*

--Transmission--

Your welcome to dock in the main harbor, word has been sent of your arrival. Feel free to head to the palace as soon as you get to land.

--End Transmission--

Captain Tabbart receives the go ahead and informs the Ambassador. She nods and they set to dock in the main harbor. A small party consisting of two unarmed, but very big guards, a small elven child and a cloaked individual make their way off the ship and towards the palace.

The cloaked individual takes note of the celebrating that is going on, from under the hood and nods a bit to one of the guards. He takes the child and heads to the streets to join the festivaties before the child decides to make a scene.

Upon reaching the palace the individual, removes the hood to reveal an elven woman who looks very familiar. In fact. Almost too familiar. She enters the palace and looks around slowly waiting to be taken to see the Empress.

A grandmotherly woman approaches the child and its guard. "Hello, my name is Clara. Would you like some fizzy blueberry lemonade?" She offers two glasses. "I'm from Well Being and we brought lots of children with us." To the child, "would you like to meet them? I'm sure they would love to meet with an elf. See, there aren't any elves where they come from so you can teach them all sorts of new games and songs. You do like songs I hope; and we all love to dance." She glances at the guard. "There's an area roped off for children to play over by the big animals. Please join us if your duties permit." She smiles hopefully.

"There's an area roped off for children to play over by the big animals. Please join us if your duties permit." She smiles hopefully.

The child looked up slowly at the woman and blinked big bright blue eyes. She skittered back slightly behind her guard and looked up at him. He smiled slightly and nodded to the little elven girl, who then looked back to the woman and stepped forward again to accept the glass of fizzy blueberry lemonade.

“thank you...” the child spoke softly and then looked back to her guard. The girl looked to be no more than ten or eleven, but at least she was polite.

“I have orders to watch Miss Talana at all times. But if she wishes to join in the activities she may. Though she is very bright she is also very shy. But I am sure she would have fun with the children that are here. Wouldn’t you Miss Talana?”

The child looked up at her guard and nodded vigorously. He smiled and bent down to ruffle the child’s hair. He shooed the little girl towards the area Clara had said and walked slowly behind taking the glass from the woman. He looked down at her but kept an eyes on the little elven girl.

“Thank you. Miss Talana hasn’t seen very many children lately and she was in desperate need of entertainment. Tell me.. what is Well Being like?”

Clara smiles as she watches the child. "Well Being, well, it's green and quiet. Our largest city has about 78,000 people. We don't have anyone but humans and animals but we've got plenty of both." she laughs. "We help the poor. Where are you and Talana from?" She looks up at him. "Are you here for the war?" She looks back at the playing children, hearing the elf child's laughter ringing with the more familiar human tones, a faint wrinkle of worry visible on her brow.

OOC: Sorry for being gone for a while.

IC: Redscale glaces at Eris "I congrajulate you on your wedding Empress. If we had know, I would have had a much more extravagent gift crafted for you, and one for your mate as well." As Redscale finishes speaking, Whiptail gets up and leaves the room, standing just inside the door.

The guard nodded slowly and then smiled a bit watching the child. He hadn't seen her this happy in a while. He turned his attention back to Clara and nodded again.

"We are from Pendral Vale. It is a small place but growing. We are a very patriotic people, but do not like to involve ourselves in war. We help where we can but we are a peaceful people."

He paused and watched Talana for a moment before speaking again.

"We are not here for the war persay... But to celebrate the Empress Eris's engagement. It is said that our ruler and she are related in some way... But if the Empress needs Pendral Vale's support she will receive it."

He smiled a bit and then shrugged slightly.

"Has this war gotten so bad?"

The woman looks up slowly to look at Allanna. She nodded slowly and pulled a small scroll from her cloak.

"I have a message for Empress Eris from her sister, Lady Clio, ruler of Pendral Vael and Goddess of History. I am Lady Clio's assistant Iliya Starr. I have come to deliver this message as well a cargo containing gifts for the Empress and her betrothed..."

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/307750/iliya.jpg

Starting like a man waking from a pleasent dream, Ares sat up straight in his chair. His eyes snapped open as he uncrossed his arms, stretching slightly. Stifling a yawn, he looked around. "So much mayhem, so little time..." he murmured softly. He hadn't been sleeping, not in the traditional sense. Rather, his consciousness had been elsewhere. This modern world had so much to attract the interest of a War God, after all.

Grinning broadly over the twenty Kottermarks he recently won in the betting over Eris's engagement, Sergeant Noonan stepped forward, opening the door to allow his Prime Minister into the room. Stepping in, Scott Haley took a quick look around the room, seeking out his old friend to congradulate her.

Redscale glaces at Eris "I congrajulate you on your wedding Empress. If we had know, I would have had a much more extravagent gift crafted for you, and one for your mate as well." As Redscale finishes speaking, Whiptail gets up and leaves the room, standing just inside the door.*Eris looks to Redscale and smiles pleasently, she was still troubled but hiding it well*

Thank you Redscale, though Jai and I have made no offical announcements yet. You will be invited to the wedding of course. Your gift was perfect. I simply adore it.

Victoria has nothing to say at the moment...
The war was over before it began...for her at least...
"Peace, or at least not being at war, it the hardest thing to achive..."
she suddenly blurts out...


OOC: Is this a party of a funeral???

The woman looks up slowly to look at Allanna. She nodded slowly and pulled a small scroll from her cloak.

*Allanna nodded and motioned Iliya towards the balcony where Eris was standing*

ahhh alright.... this way then.

*She looked at Iliya and smiled a bit*

You wouldn't happen to be related to Nia Starr, would you?

"So much mayhem, so little time..." he murmured softly. He hadn't been sleeping, not in the traditional sense. Rather, his consciousness had been elsewhere. This modern world had so much to attract the interest of a War God, after all.*Eris glanced over at Ares and chuckled softly. It seemed he'd finaly snapped out of his daze. That was good. She could use his support right about now. Ares was the only member of her family she was still close with*

Stepping in, Scott Haley took a quick look around the room, seeking out his old friend to congradulate her.*With another smile Eris noticed Scotty enter and waved to him from her spot on the balcony. It was nice having her old friends around*

OOC: Is this a party of a funeral???((OOC: LOL possibly both depending on what happens with Nix hehe))

*Eris nodded in agreement with Victoria and kept the smile on her face for now. Things were turning out all right, best to try and stay positive. Eris clapped her hands and the servants moved to open the doors and windows again. The room had gotten quite stuffy and there was no more need for secrets*

The guard nodded slowly and then smiled a bit watching the child. He hadn't seen her this happy in a while. He turned his attention back to Clara and nodded again.

"We are from Pendral Vale. It is a small place but growing. We are a very patriotic people, but do not like to involve ourselves in war. We help where we can but we are a peaceful people."

He smiled a bit and then shrugged slightly.

"Has this war gotten so bad?"

"I worry about them" she says, gesturing toward the children. "War is always bad for the ones too young to understand why their parents never come home". She shakes her head as if to clear it. "The engagement, now that is good news. Jai Resi is a very brave man to want to marry the goddess of chaos. And my husband says I'm unpredictable" she grins. "If she and your ruler are related, Pendral Vale must be a very interesting place". She turns toward the guard, her face growing serious "the war has grown to involve scores of nations. I haven't been up to the palace so Eris only knows what her plans are. Many are dead and many more will die before it's over. War", she sighs. "Is the young one travelling for her education? Perhaps she would like to visit Well Being one day. It's very safe in Well Being. Many people join the company so their children can grow up there. She would be made most welcome".

*Allanna nodded and motioned Iliya towards the balcony where Eris was standing*

ahhh alright.... this way then.

*She looked at Iliya and smiled a bit*

You wouldn't happen to be related to Nia Starr, would you?

Iliya nodded to her guard which followed slowly behind the two women. She looked at Allanna and smiled slightly.

"In fact I am. Nia is my sister. My twin actually. I haven't seen her in quite some time and I have brought my daughter, her niece, along as well."

Iliya nodded to her guard which followed slowly behind the two women. She looked at Allanna and smiled slightly.

"In fact I am. Nia is my sister. My twin actually. I haven't seen her in quite some time and I have brought my daughter, her niece, along as well."*Allanna smiled brightly*

Nia is one of my good friends. It's nice to meet some of her family finaly. Currently Nia is busy dealing with a problem that has arisen... hopefully it will be settled soon though and she'll come back upstairs

*She quieted slightly as they approached the balcony. Her hand motioned to Eris and she'd stay quiet now unless needed*

"I worry about them" she says, gesturing toward the children. "War is always bad for the ones too young to understand why their parents never come home". She shakes her head as if to clear it.

He nodded slowly listening to the woman. What she said did make sense, but Pendral Vale being a place where war wasn't really made keeping people safe was easy enough. He smiled slightly and then nodded a bit more.

"Pendral Vale is interesting indeed. It is run by a very kind woman, Lady Clio.. She is related to the Empress in ways that only they know. She cares greatly for her people and tries her best to keep them safe. War is generally not a problem where we are. Though our ruler tries her best to keep the peace where we are located it is indeed difficult."

He shook his head slightly and watched the child for a moment.

"Miss Talana is here with her mother. For her education.. Possibly. More so to see her aunt. But I will make a note of what you have said and let Miss Talana's mother know of Well Being. I'm sure she would like to see it as well."

*Allanna smiled brightly*

Nia is one of my good friends. It's nice to meet some of her family finaly. Currently Nia is busy dealing with a problem that has arisen... hopefully it will be settled soon though and she'll come back upstairs

*She quieted slightly as they approached the balcony. Her hand motioned to Eris and she'd stay quiet now unless needed*

She nodded and smiled.

"Nia is very good at making friends. I just wish our older sister was as well... But that is another story. I do not expect to be leaving anytime soon, as I wish to spend a bit of time with my sister and for her to see her neice."

She smiled a bit and then turned to Eris. She took in a small breath and approached the Empress slowly.

"Empress Eris.. I have word from Pedral Vale's ruler.. Lady Clio.."

Redscale stood up from his seat and bowed deeply. "You humble me Empress. I will gladly accept your invitation." Redscale motions to Whiptail, who leaves his post by the door. They converse in their own language, but in hushed tones. Whiptail nods, then makes his way out of the palace. Redscale takes his seat, and begins to read from a small book that has been drying near his elbow for the past several hours.

Garand's Argonian naval operations commander returns to the throne room to find his superior dozing in his borrowed chair. He takes a seat next to him, in his culture it being rude to awaken someone who is of a higher rank.

Garand leans back in his chair, still asleep. He topples backwards, hitting the floor with a dull thud. "Wha..?" Garand mutters dreamily as he gets up off of the floor. "General. The submarines are in fine condition." Captain Quickclaw reports, helping his superior up from the floor. Garand glaces about the room looking for the Empress. "Any news on the war? I'm getting tired of sitting in this damn chair."

*Eris glanced over at Ares and chuckled softly. It seemed he'd finaly snapped out of his daze. That was good. She could use his support right about now. Ares was the only member of her family she was still close with*

Ares slipped out of his chair with the liquid, inhuman grace that always seemed to be at his command. Most of his family spent a great deal of effort enhancing the appearance that they were human. Not Ares. He fully acknowledged the fact that he wasn't human, and he had never cared who knew it. Coming to Eris's side, he leaned in to give her a little brotherly peck on the cheek and whisper into her ear.

"Did I miss anything interesting, little sister?"

Iliya blinked slightly at the man who now stood next to the Empress. Lady Clio had oft told her about the rest of her family but to see another so close was a bit of a shock. Why would the gods prefer to rule on earth than to remain on Olympus was beyond her. She glanced back at the Empress as she pulled from the confines of her cloak a small rounded object. Letting it travel between her fingers she looked out over the people for a moment before looking back to the Empress.

OOC: Haha

"Did I miss anything interesting, little sister?"*Eris leans her cheek towards him as he kisses it and grins at him, though she keeps her voice quite. No need for everyone to overhear*

oh not much my brother... just going to war, one of my officals being kidnapped along with a few others, and talking to mom.

*She sighs and makes a slightly helpless gesture*

Mother has accepted that I have chosen Jai though.. that was interesting enough...

She nodded and smiled.

"Nia is very good at making friends. I just wish our older sister was as well... But that is another story. I do not expect to be leaving anytime soon, as I wish to spend a bit of time with my sister and for her to see her neice."

She smiled a bit and then turned to Eris. She took in a small breath and approached the Empress slowly.

oh? and what does Lady Clio want with me?

"A war?" he asked, his eyes lighting up in the most disturbing way. It was really something you had to get used to about him. Most people thought of war as a neccesary evil at best, an atrocity at the worst. Ares... He thought of it as an interesting diversion from an otherwise boring life. "With whom?"

Victoria looks up....
"With a childs imaginary monstor, also known as Melkor Unchained"
She adds...then looks at Eris with a bit of concern...
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave...Dad has me as a judge at the most recent World Court..."

General Garand chuckles lightly "A child's imaginary monster... that's a good one." He points at Ares "So you're the god of war, eh?"

Whiptail glances at the awakened Ares, wary of his presence. "You are a god of warfare?" He asks, curious to the response he would get.
