Specs transmitted.
Check your TGs Roania we have another request of you. If you agree our shuttle is waiting.

OOC: Hey, stop being so impatient for me to leave! I feel unloved.

OOC: lol
sorry with the situation as it is with Vascilia Pilon is scrambling to upgrade their military to the highest level they possibly can.

Edmund Hyacinth looked at the Pilonese ambassadors. "By the way, several of our Mentats and Face Dancers want to visit Pilon."

They are more than welcome to come if they wish to leave now our shuttle can take them, it is scheduled for a new upgrade to install brand new technology that Pilon is testing and will be leaving soon.

"I'm..."

The sound of a shuttle lifting off filled the air. One of the Mentats looked at Edmund through a window and gave the thumbs up. Then it took off.

"Tell me, did you have a spare in the event of uber-intelligent people stealing your shuttle, or will we have to provide transport?"

The Ambassador stops for a moment and closes his eyes.
The shuttle turns around and lands back on the pad shutting down.
OOC Note: We have long since linked our spacecraft controls into the Nodelink, The Ambassador has complete control of the shuttle with a few thoughts...

"Yes we do have an emergency plan."
The Ambassador smiles and looks back at the craft in satisfaction.

The Mentat looked around. "Pitiful. We could undo it, but this is one comfortable shuttle."

--------------------


"Very good. Here are the stats."

CENTURION PROJECT

Made out of: Titanium Alloy

Weapon systems: (2) Missile launchers, (2) Plazma cannons, (1) Ion cannon, (3) Grenade holders, (2) Sharp claws.

Extras: AI capable of 279 calculations per minute, direct neural link between suit, AI, and pilot, minor hover pack, flicker device.

------------------

"Personally, I feel the direct neural link was a mistake."

"When's your flight?"

"Around 6 tomorrow afternoon."

"Then, that's when my flight is." Karolyn giggled.

"Sounds good to me. I suppose we'll have to organise somewhere for you to stay."

"Oh, that is a problem." Karolyn smiled. "I can't stay at the office..."

"You can stay at my place until you find a permanent residence. I'll have to clean it up though......"

"You wouldn't mind?" Karolyn asked, smiling.That doesn't seem all that proper. She thought, momentarily forgetting he was psychic.

"No, I don't mind at all."

Calin picked up a few words..... he still needed to learn how to 'switch off' his powers.

doesn't......... proper

"I'm sure we'll be able to find you a place quickly."

"Thanks, Calin." She leaned forward and kissed him.

"No problem......."

Calin stated when he got the chance.

The Mentat looked around. "Pitiful. We could undo it, but this is one comfortable shuttle."

Excellant, just a few modifications to bring it up to Pilonese standards and we'll be good to go, we will keep you informed.

"No problem......."

Calin stated when he got the chance.

"Mmmm.." She poured some of the wine into two glasses.

Excellant, just a few modifications to bring it up to Pilonese standards and we'll be good to go, we will keep you informed.

Edmund raised an eyebrow. "One might almost think that you were impugning our scientists."

Calin raised his glass.

"To your future in Assington."

Calin raised his glass.

"To your future in Assington."

"No. To our future in Assington."

"Indeed. To our future."

"Now, before this unpleasantness, I believe we were dancing?"

"I... uh... I believe so..."

"Then, shall we?"

I... uh... *turns red* believe so...

Bump.

"Now, before this unpleasantness, I believe we were dancing?"

"I... uh... I believe so..."

"Then, shall we?"

I... uh... *turns red* believe so...

You know, for a tactless, arrogant bufoon he's really not that bad.Kigari laughed at the blush. "You're sweet."

"So will you have a lot of work to do?"

Karolyn laughed. "Nah, running a subsidary isn't very hard. I'll have plenty of free-time."

OOC: :lol: That buffon created all of the Gundam prototypes... by himself...

IC: "Um... thank you, I guess..."

His subconcious laughed at him a bit.

Sure, I can stare down a Gundam, but throw me in a dance hall? :lol:

"Sounds good. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy Assington then."

Calin's head was tingling as he adapted to his new powers.... but it wasn't bothering him.

OOC: :lol: That buffon created all of the Gundam prototypes... by himself...

IC: "Um... thank you, I guess..."

His subconcious laughed at him a bit.

Sure, I can stare down a Gundam, but throw me in a dance hall? :lol:

"I didn't mean it like that." Kigari laughed. "You really are a nice man."

"Sounds good. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy Assington then."

Calin's head was tingling as he adapted to his new powers.... but it wasn't bothering him.

"Thank you."

OOC: :lol: That buffon created all of the Gundam prototypes... by himself...

IC: "Um... thank you, I guess..."

His subconcious laughed at him a bit.

Sure, I can stare down a Gundam, but throw me in a dance hall? :lol:

"I didn't mean it like that." Kigari laughed. "You really are a nice man."

*smiles again* "Thank you, very much. You are a lovely lady as well... As if the very incarnation of the fabled golden lady, whose grace and magnificence were unsurpassed...

Kigari blushes deeply.

*looks dreamily at Kigari, and blushes even deeper, by now, so much blood is in his head I'm surprised he hasn't started hemorrhaging...*

"Are you all right?" Kigari asked, concerned. "Perhaps we've been dancing too much."

OOC: That was an expression... :)

IC: *sigh* "Perhaps we have..."

OOC: Oh. I was thinking that everyone would be looking at Nova and going 'mommy, why is that man lit up like a christmas tree?'

IC:

Kigari leads Nova to a table. "Now, my name is Kigari and I'll be your waiter for this evening. What would you like?"

Suddenly the tingling was released in one huge burst that caused Calin to drop his glass. He was about to swear when he noticed the wine was sitting in midair.

"Hmmmm. That's handy. Let's see if I can get it back into the class."

Suddenly the tingling was released in one huge burst that caused Calin to drop his glass. He was about to swear when he noticed the wine was sitting in midair.

"Hmmmm. That's handy. Let's see if I can get it back into the class."

"You don't need to show off to me, Calin." Karolyn said, kissing him softly.

Calin grinned.

"I'm not trying to show off, it kind of just happened."

Calin held the glass under the floating wine, he concentrated on releasing it and a few seconds later it fell into the glass.

"There we go."

Karolyn giggled delightedly.

Calin decided to be adventurous with his powers.

After a few seconds of concentration, the zipper on Karolyn's dress went down and back up.

Karolyn caught it carefully. "That can wait for a while, Calin." She winked at him.

A mischievous grin crossed his face.

"Another accident...... It's hard to control these powers."

"If you want to 'practice', we can go somewhere private." Karolyn kissed him again.

OOC: Got to go. Need sleep, and it's back to college tomorrow.

Calin returned the kiss.

"I have no objections...."

"No problem......."

Calin stated when he got the chance.

"Mmmm.." She poured some of the wine into two glasses.

Excellant, just a few modifications to bring it up to Pilonese standards and we'll be good to go, we will keep you informed.

Edmund raised an eyebrow. "One might almost think that you were impugning our scientists."


OOC: What did you expect we are almost a full 6 months older than you.
IC: No insult was intended, but surely you do not think we have not outpaced you in a number of technologies. We will fully disclose with you any modifications and improvments we implement.

OOC: Yes, but I spend a greater percentage on 'defence'. And out of that, 1/3 of my total military budget goes to R&D, of both conventional weapons and WMDs. Besides, I've never heard you made a power armor.

IC: "Of course... if you have no objections, I know a quiet, peaceful place. Not far." Karolyn ran her fingers along his shoulder.

----------------------

"I've never seen Pilon armor in operation. But, if that is what you wish."

Calin grinned as he leaned closer.

"Shall we go then?"

Karolyn giggled as she led him back to the car. "Driver, the manor."

Calin let out an interested laugh.

"The Manor? Sounds fun."

"Oh, it's just a little place I like to call home..."

The limo pulls up a driveway. Up above is a massive house.

Calin stares out at the huge mansion.

"Hardly little. But a very nice home indeed."

"Considering Darquis hollowed out a mountain to build his castle, it's very little." Karolyn smiled.

Calin grinned.

"I see. Shall we go inside?"

"Yes." Karolyn opened the door and led Calin inside.

Calin looked around.

"Very nice. One could get very comfortable living here."

"Well, I like it." Karolyn wiped some lint off his sleeve. "So... let's practice..."

<<Fade to black?>>

ooc: Indeed. We'll leave these two alone for a while. :roll: :wink:

***Several hours later*** :P

Karolyn brushed back her hair. "What a pleasant way to wake up."

Calin sat up.

"Indeed it was. I had a feeling something good would come out of this trip to your nation."

"Mmm..." Karolyn smiled. "I must agree."

OOC: Oh. I was thinking that everyone would be looking at Nova and going 'mommy, why is that man lit up like a christmas tree?'

IC:

Kigari leads Nova to a table. "Now, my name is Kigari and I'll be your waiter for this evening. What would you like?"

OOC: :lol: Heh. ^_^

IC: *sighs happily* "Thank you, very much. I'll just have a Sprite or whatever..."

Nova sat down in a chair, and slowly fell asleep as Kigari left to get the drinks.

OOC: Oh. I was thinking that everyone would be looking at Nova and going 'mommy, why is that man lit up like a christmas tree?'

IC:

Kigari leads Nova to a table. "Now, my name is Kigari and I'll be your waiter for this evening. What would you like?"

OOC: :lol: Heh. ^_^

IC: *sighs happily* "Thank you, very much. I'll just have a Sprite or whatever..."

Nova sat down in a chair, and slowly fell asleep as Kigari left to get the drinks.

In a few minutes, Nova felt a pressure on his kneee. Kigari was sitting quite happily on it. "They didn't have sprite. But they did have some champagne."

Calin grinned.

"I guess we missed the reception."

"I don't mind that much. Do you?" Karolyn kissed him.

Nova woke up. "...hm?"

"Really? Cool." Nova fully woke up, sipped the champagne a bit, and then placed it back down. He moved his head right next to Kigari's. "How about you? Want something?"

"I'm quite content here, Nova." Kigari rested her own head on his. "You know, I could get to like you." Hell, I could get to love this guy!

Calin returned the kiss.

"Not at all. Last night was far more enjoyable than a diplomatic reception."

Nova's face fell slightly. "Really?" He looked away a bit. "Because I already have gotten to like you a lot..."

Calin returned the kiss.

"Not at all. Last night was far more enjoyable than a diplomatic reception."

"Still, we have a plane to catch." Karolyn stood up. She smiled. "Are you going to lie there and admire the view, or are you going to come with me?"

Nova's face fell slightly. "Really?" He looked away a bit. "Because I already have gotten to like you a lot..."

Kigari smiled and kissed the top of his head. "That answer your question?"

Nova decided to try with all his might to stop the human light show from recurring. He smiled and then kissed Kigari on the lips. "Yes. It does."

Kigari looked shocked for a few seconds. Then she closed her eyes.

Calin bent his head to the side.

"Even though it's a great view, I'll get up."

Calin gets out of the bed and begins to dress.

"We'll have plenty of time together in Assington, Calin." Karoyn smiled.

<<<Did you get those names from Raymond E. Feist's books?>>>

OOC: Yep. Great Books. :)

IC: "That is true. I'm sure we'll lead a very happy life in Assington."

OOC: I wonder why no-one has tried to rp one. Though the Moredhel would be a tad worrying.

IC: Karolyn helped him up. "I love you." She said as they walked to the door.

Nova looked lovingly at Kigari. "And I love you as well." He walked towards this door with her. (Where does this door lead?)

Nova looked lovingly at Kigari. "And I love you as well." He walked towards this door with her. (Where does this door lead?)

MISTAKE! Crossed continuity!

What continuity?

Calin grinned.

"I love you too."

OOC: I'm not sure. I prefer to come up with my own stuff.

Nova looked lovingly at Kigari. "And I love you as well." He walked towards this door with her. (Where does this door lead?)

OOC: I meant Karolyn. I was typing in twp threads at once. Kigari is still on Nova's knee.

OOC: I looked carefully at that thread... oops. Damn. :oops:

Nova looked lovingly at Kigari. "And I love you as well." He walked towards this door with her. (Where does this door lead?)

OOC: Ah, let's go with it.

IC: The door led to a garden. Kigari smiled happily. I have a cute guy right next to me.

OOC: Um... okay.

IC: Nova looked at her serenely and happily. Is this a dream? Otherwise, I really do have a beautiful woman that cares about me...

OOC: Um... okay.

IC: Nova looked at her serenely and happily. Is this a dream? Otherwise, I really do have a beautiful woman that cares about me...

OOC: :oops:

IC: Kigari coughed. "Are you a religious man, Nova?"

OOC: ?

IC: "Hm? I've... never really thought about it before... (I don't think she still knows he's not Christian). I don't know who's right. There are so many people who say there is a God... so many that say that there isn't... *sigh* I don't really know. I'll just be as good of a person I can be... and I'll worry about what happens when I die when it comes. What about you? Are you?"

Kigari sighed. "I was... but now..." She shook her head. "I have seen so much... so much evil, and death. It makes me wonder..."

Nova turned her so that they were face-to-face. "You're a kind person... I really think that people like you are the reason humanity has hopes for the future. Even if you do wonder... please, for me, don't lose your purity and kindness."

Kigari blushed. "You're sweet. You're wrong, but sweet." Kigari shook her head. "I love you." She laughed.

Nova blushed as well. "I may be wrong on a lot of things... but this, I know I am right."

...

"I love you, too. Promise me this, Miss Kigari... don't die before I do. I won't forgive either of us if this happens otherwise."

*Black BMW pulls up. "Gimn Sovetskogo Soyuza" plays in the background. Man steps out to open BMW's door. "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Premier of the United Socialist States of Manchester-Dalton." Premier steps out of car, solemnly waving, then he makes his way down the red carpet followed by members of the Red Guard and KGB.

OOC: Leaving for the night/day. See yaz! ^_^

Calin stepped towards the door.

"So when do we leave for the airport?"

Nova blushed as well. "I may be wrong on a lot of things... but this, I know I am right."

...

"I love you, too. Promise me this, Miss Kigari... don't die before I do. I won't forgive either of us if this happens otherwise."

"I have no intention of dying." Kigari laughed.

Calin stepped towards the door.

"So when do we leave for the airport?"

"Our flight is at 2... right now it... crud." Karolyn looked at a clock. It said one o'clock. "Well, we were distracted."

*Black BMW pulls up. "Gimn Sovetskogo Soyuza" plays in the background. Man steps out to open BMW's door. "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Premier of the United Socialist States of Manchester-Dalton." Premier steps out of car, solemnly waving, then he makes his way down the red carpet followed by members of the Red Guard and KGB.

"Look. A commie." Duke Darquis mutters to his aides. "Remind me to put together an invite list." He stepped forward and bowed. "Greetings, your excellency!"

"So we were. So I guess we go straight to the airport."

"So we were. So I guess we go straight to the airport."

"Yeah. Shall we?" She opens the door for him.

Calin picks up Karolyns luggage and steps out the door.

"We're in for a long plane trip."

"It won't be that long. And I have perfect company."

"That is true. Time flies when you're having fun."

They drive on. "I'm going to miss Roania."

"I'm sure you'll have chances to visit. This probably won't be the last time I am here."

"Well, travel broadens the mind."

"Indeed it does. I think you will enjoy Assington as well. I know Assington will enjoy your presence."

"I'm sure it will." And with that, they drove off into a new future.

OOC: do we want to end this part of the rp?

Premier speaks to Duke Darquis," You shall not address me as Your Excellency, but as Premier!" Premier turns back to his guards. A Red Guard member steps forward and whispers to the Premier, "What shall we do to him, sir?" "Nichevo," whispers the Premier in Russian.

"Yes, Premier. Right this way, sir." Duke Darquis motioned to the Inquisitors.

"We will take you to his highness."

Nova blushed as well. "I may be wrong on a lot of things... but this, I know I am right."

...

"I love you, too. Promise me this, Miss Kigari... don't die before I do. I won't forgive either of us if this happens otherwise."

"I have no intention of dying." Kigari laughed.

"Heh. Good thing... "

Kigari kissed him again. "What about you? You hardly seem to be what I pictured you."

Nova looked at her inquisitively. "How so?"

"Well, you're the ruler of your country! I thought you would be all... grumpy and tired and paranoid. But you're not! You're sweet and sensitive."

"Heh." Nova smiled. "I'd probably be old, too, right?" Nova laughed, and then kissed her again.

"I think you are just fine the way you are."

[blush="Nova"]

"Thank... you..."

Kigari laughed.No matter what I say, his face turns bright red. I wonder if I can make it go blue.

OOC: :lol: Then his hair, face, and eyes would match...
OOC2: I'm assuimg they're sitting or lying down... no one could stand for this long...

OOC: They are sitting. Nova on a chair and Kigari on Nova.

OOC: Oh. And how do I respond to a post like that?

OOC: Um... I'll give you something to work on... :wink:

IC: "So, Nova..." Kigari starts to say. "Will you be staying in Roania long?"

OOC: Thanks... ^_^

IC: Nova sighed. "Probably not. There's a lot of cleanup to do after all of those wars we have had for so long..." Nova rested his head back and closed his eyes, trying to forget the numerous wars.

"Oh... well, Roania hasn't had any wars. Just police actions, peacekeeping, and civilising the poor unfortunates of this world." Kigari said, rather bitterly.

OOC: Leaving... sorry... see ya! ^_^

IC: Nova opened his eyes, and said a little gravely, "Civilizing, hm? Hm..." He closed his eyes, and it was evident that there was something... he didn't know what... that he didn't like about the use of that term.

OOC: C'ya!
IC: Kigari sighed and put her head on his shoulder.

Nova opened his eyes again and looked at Kigari fondly.

Kigari, you are truly extraordinary, do you know that? Truly extraordinary.

"It just seems... so pointless sometimes." Kigari whispered, to no-one in particular. "All the fighting, and killing... is this what the Principality is meant to do?"

"I don't know. I don't know what Roania was created to do, what Tiburon was created to do, not even what I was created to do. All I can do now is fight for what I believe in..."

Kigari started. "Was I thinking aloud?" She looked around, making sure that no-one was listening.

"I'm quite sure there is no one here but the two of us..."

"Good." Kigari sighed. "Sometimes... I don't know if this is what I want... to just be a machine, an object for killing." Kigari blinked back tears.

"Don't think about that. In that case, you'd be killing off innocents... and I'd have to stop you..." *closes eyes hard*

Kigari laughed, sadly. "But... Nova, don't you know? That's what the Roanian Military does! I never have... but... I've seen them... generals, ordering gas attacks against enemy civilians... thousands of them..."

She put her head on his shoulder and cried.

OOC: She's talking about the Freemantia war, where in response to a nuclear attack against Roanian soldiers, the Roanians launched chemical weapons against two cities.

OOC: Harsh. He's just talking about... well, what he always feels compelled to do.

IC: Nova wiped away Kigari's tears. "Please don't cry. It doesn't suit you."

He looked at her. "That's what the Roanian Military does? Ki... Kisama..." His anger and sadness at their deaths were evident, despite his attempts to hide it.

OOC: Well, it was an attack against Roanian peacekeepers... and the ruler of the nation was busy waving more weapons around and going "I have more weapons, and I'm not afraid to use them!'

IC: Kigari just kept crying. "And... the General didn't care! He... laughed at me when I told him I would report him... said the Minister wouldn't care... and Richelieu said he couldn't condemn a member of the military based on just one account..."

She held him closely and laughed. "At least when the Prince was told the General was punished."

OOC: That ass.

IC: Nova looked away, unable to conceal his anger at this general any longer. "How so? How was this general punished?" He asked bitterly. "Fined $500 dollars? Was he not allowed to pass GO? Because nothing can make up for the lives of those civilians... nothing."

Kigari looked at him oddly. "He's the... guest of Cardinal Richelieu, and he has some very nice quarters under Inquisitorial HQ. Well, that's the men who fired the weapons and advised him on that stance, at least. I think the General is currently living in Derricks, on half-pay and under house arrest."

Nova (sarcastically, and to himself): "Aww... he couldn't stand the pain when he was tried for killing people, poor thing..."

That bastard. Wait... the Wing Gundam is stationed near Derricks, right? Hehehehe.... :twisted:

Kigari sighed. "I don't know... I've never known anything but war... I can't even avoid talking about it when I'm with someone I care about."

Nova: "That doesn't matter... I've known a lot of war myself. At least you have a purpose in life... my existence is just scattered in the wind..." He looked down. "The fact that I'm a leader of a country is a mistake. Even my life is a mistake."

"Your life? By rights, if a Priest hadn't found me lying in the street, I wouldn't be alive right now!" Kigari said angrily. "You are not a mistake. You're kind, and gentle, and you care. Hardly anyone here cares about people outside of their own friends and family."

"My life is a mistake. You don't know the reason why I'm still alive, so you can say that..."

OOC: He's referring to the Golden City Massacre, in which the entire city was destroyed-along with its 2 million people- except for one, who escaped. Guess who that was?

OOC: Ouch. Well, that's not his fault.

IC: Kigari shook her head. "That doesn't matter. You're still a much better man then any I have ever met." She looked around. "Barring his highness, of course!" She said, just in case someone was listening in. She relaxed and curled against him. "As I said, you're kind, gentle and caring. You're also handsome, and I think I l..." her voice trailed off.

OOC: Full story-

Shiro Starfighter, considered one of the greatest MS pilots in Golden City, was one of the city's defenders during the first civil war. He was able to hide his son (at the time age around 6) inside a crate of... something... until the battle would be over. The defenders lost, and Nova blames himself because he wasn't able to pilot an MS in order to finish off the attackers, whose MSs were severly damaged, and for that, he blames himself. Instead, the attackers were able to revive themselves and completely razed Golden City.

IC: The people.... they're scared. Scared to call out their beliefs and setniments... this is wrong. He said the last sentence aloud (albeit almost undistinguishably). "This is just wrong!"

OOC: Ouch.

IC: Kigari looks up. "What's wrong, Nova?"

OOC: Ah, well.

IC: "Hm? Um... nothing. Nothing is wrong... I think..."

Kigari looked up at him, concerned. "Are you sure?"

Nova smiled an empty smile. "Yes. I'm sure."

"Okay..."Good... I was worried for a second

Nova smiled. "You just take it easy, 'kay?"

I have to stop this...

There was a cough. Kigari looked up. Duke Darquis was at the door, a slight smirk playing around his face. "I do hope that an actual member of government might get a chance to speak to His Excellency, Inquisitor Kigari?"

Kigari leapt up and saluted. "Of course, sah!" She said loudly.

Leopold winced. "Yes, go off and do something soldierly, there's a dear." Kigari left, looking back at Nova longingly. Leopold sat down on the chair opposite from Nova.

Nova looked longingly back at Kigari before she went away. Then, turning his attention to Leopold, "Don't ever call me your excellency. My name is Nova Starfighter. That's all."

"And you are?"

"I am Duke Leopold Darquis. Minister of Foriegn Affairs." The tall, thin man leaned forward and stared at Nova much like he would a trained dog. "I must say, when I heard you were coming, I was expecting someone... older."

He shrugged. "Anyway, I was wondering what it is that bought you to Roania. Some aid, perhaps? Medicine?"


OOC: I just realised that your nation, because it's still rebuilding, can only barely match me on the battlefield. And Darquis is fully aware of that fact, and considers it rather amusing.

Besides, I have a Commonwealth. 8)

OOC: Actually, we were finished rebuilding by now... no, wait now ... it's just been quite soon, so its fresh inside pretty much everyone's memory...

Plus, we have the Gundams, and those are quite powerful indeed... :twisted:

IC: Nova looked at him with cold hatred, much as he did on the battlefield to countless enemies before.

"Tiburon does not need aid whatsoever. I came here merely for diplomatic relations."

"Did you?" Leopold's lip curled slightly. "Of course. Since I am the Minister for Foriegn Affairs, perhaps you can tell me what they are?"

"Well... I was here to find more about this place, seeing as we have been fledging allies in the past."

"You're Duke Leopold, right? I have a question for you: do you know of an organization known as the CTFF?"

Leopold smiled. "There were some soldiers claiming to be from your nation with that name emblazoned on their uniforms. My forces found the survivors near my castle."

His smile grew even larger. "It appears they had been attacked by Dire Wolves. Of course, not being Roanian soldiers, I ordered them to be executed for spying."

"The CTFF is a paramilitary organization claiming to have factions in various parts of the globe... and executing them was not the right thing to do."

This guy's arrogance and disregard for human rights is amazing... Kisama...

"I see. You know, you seem very keyed up on this CTFF. I wonder why?" Darquis asked.

OOC: What's really surprising is that Roanians and Tiburonese can understand each other, even though the Roanians are German and the Tiburonese are Anglo-American, Japanese, and Indian (peninsula). :P

IC: "This is because we are never able to fully eradicate it and imprison the members, since the organization is mutlinational. It has become a minor, yet persistent, problem for us."

OOC: The Roanians can speak English and Russian as well. Comes from being on a big island Equidistant between Hawaii, Russia and Australia.

IC: "Very well. What did you wish to know from us?"

OOC: Ah. So we're all speaking English...
OOC2: Sorry... got to go quite soon... and we didn't even start RPing fully yet... :cry:

IC: "First of all, I was sent here to find the political situation of the country, then the economical situation of the country, and finally... I was sent here to have a vacation. Haven't done that in a while."

Darquis curled his lips again. "Of course, boy. Whatever questions you want to ask, ask and I shall answer to the best of my ability."

<Bump of Interest>

"I have a name, and the sort of information I seek is not readily available inside governmental walls."

"Of course, Nova. Try me." Leopold says. "Ask me any question, and I'll answer it."

"All right, then. I've heard that this is a theocratic nation, so... is it true? And, if so, is Christianity compulsory?'

Leopold snickered to himself. "Why, of course this isn't a Theocracy, boy! And Catholicsm is not compulsory."Just the only way to get a decent job.

"Well, then, how's Roania treating the elves and fairies and people like them?"

Leopold shook his head. "I'm sorry, matters like that fall under Archmage Merrech's purveit. If you wanted to know things like 'imports and exports', or allies."

He looked Nova in the eyes. "Or, your excellency, if you want to know about the common person, I am the lord of around 2 million of them."

Nova looked a little coldly at Leopold. "I'd just like to know why Roania's still totalitarian."

Duke Darquis stared at Nova questioningly. What is this man talking about? Totala-what now?

OOC: What on Earth made you think that an all-powerful Aristocrat would have any idea of another way to do things?

"You guys don't have an elected leader. Nor is there free speech, and your nation controls its populace oppressively, and there is an unwritten ban against religions other than Catholicism."

"Just do me a favor. I'd like to have a few words with your head of state, Prince Alexander."

"Of course!" Duke Darquis signalled to one of the guards.

--------

10 minutes later Prince Alexander Black walked into the garden, yawning. "This had better be important, Darquis."

Nova faced Prince Alexander and did a small bow. "I am Nova Starfighter, the President of the Republic of Tiburon. (OOC: I'll stick with the old title; I'm too lazy tow write out the Emerald Greens and Gundams every time) I'd like a word with you about... well... Roania, I guess."

The Prince sat down with a sigh. "Of course, Nova. What would you like to know?"

"First and foremost, I'd like to know why Roania is the way it is. People have a right to be free to choose various aspects of their lives. It is human nature to do so... and yet your nation denies people the rights to choose an elected leader, to speak freely, to practice their own religion, and to choose their own destines. All I'd like to know is why."

Alex leaned over to an aide. "What's an 'election?'"

"A chaotic practice where-in heads of government get replaced, weakening the country."

"I see." Alexander coughed and turned to Nova. "It appears that the answer is 'people are stupid.'" He turned to the aide. "Right, Bartholomew?"

"Yes, your highness. Whatever you say."

Nova: -_-; Damn, this is gonna be a long one...

"Um, well, it's not so simple as that... you see, people have beliefs, actions, and choices. I'm not Christian, but I'm pretty sure it says in Galatians 3.28 that "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." and in Malachi 2.10 that "Have we not all one father? Has not one God created us?". These people have the right to choose their destinies based on their beliefs and actions. "

OOC: Damn, took me a while to find these... stupid search engines that bring up unrelated sites...

"But they do choose their destinies!" Alex said, confused. "If they can get a job, then they can do anything provided their boss is willing to take responsibility."

"They can't smoke. They can't decide on who their leader is going to be. Subtly, they can't be anything other than Christian. And I've talked with Kigari... she was a good little puppet, she supported the leadership to the end, but I can see oppression clearly when people act the way they do...

"Yes, but they are happy." Alexander nodded to Leopold. He nodded back and made a note of Kigari's name.

Nova, noticing this, secretly took a gun from his pocket and held it there. Good thing those Inquisitors can still be fooled...

Looking defiantly at Alexander, he asked, "Are they? Really?"

OOC: If he shoots either of them, his future life will be spent underneath the Cathedral. And he will be there for a very long and painful time.

Oh, and chemical attacks will occur against every Tiburonese city. Followed in short order by pathogen bombs and Neutron strikes.

IC: "Of course they are!" Alex sighed. "Really, your empathy does you credit, sir. But they are all perfectly happy with their lives."

OOC: Not to kill.

IC: "Thank you, sir. But there are a lot of people that surpass me in kindness... And I do believe that people would always be a lot more happier with a lot more freedom."

Insantly, Nova shot off the notepad from Darquis' hands, and then threw away the gun. Smiling wryly, he added, "I'm not getting anyone in trouble. Not today, at least."

OOC: Oh, dear god.

IC: Leopold jumped back. "Impetuois youth!" He grabbed his cane and twisted it. The wood came off revealing a blade. He charged towards Nova.

And was stopped. Before anyone had even seen him move, Alexander was standing up and forcing the Duke down with his own blade. "That was a very foolish thing, Nova." The young man said, calmly. "M'lord Duke, please sit down."

Nova, now looking away, was not as jovial as before. "I've done many foolish things in my lifetime, foremost among them being a leader. So many soldiers have senselessly died under my name that it really doesn't matter what happens."

"I'll give you what for!" Duke Darquis raised his blade. Alex sighed.

"Put the blade down, or it's treason."

Leopold stopped, and backed away cautiously. Alexander smiled. "There, see? Now, go off and talk to another ambassador."

Alex turned to Nova as Leopold walked off. His face became a scowl. "Now, you will tell me why you did that, or else I will have to haul you up before a judge for attempted assassination."

Nova, looking defiantly once again, replied, "Like I said before, I'm not getting anyone in trouble. I told you already, she wasn't a part of any subversive movements... and don't tell me I'm blind not to understand what Duke wrote there. If you wish to inflict the penalites on me, so be it... but don't get others involved."

"I see." Alex sighed. "Very well. If you were willing to die to protect a lady, who am I to kill you? The world needs more people like you."

"Quite the contrary. This world needs far less people like me."

"Quite the contrary. This world needs far less people like me."

Alexander paused, not understanding. "If you say so. Now, would you like a guide to show you around my city?"

OOC: If so, we should start a new thread.

"Yes. But we weren't finished speaking."

"What else would you like to know?" Alex asked, his patience becoming strained.

"I'd just like to know two things: how you can justify keeping a nation such as this under totalitarian control... and, how long a nation such as this can last."

"Totala what now? And it's lasted for hundreds of years. Much longer than your 'democracy'. Remind me again who your masters were?" Alex said with a genteel sneer.

Nova became enraged at these remarks. "I have no masters Prince of Roania! And our nation has also had democracy for hundreds of years... we've had it for a lot longer than your tyranny!"

OOC: Wasn't he in a civil war 20 years ago or something?

OOC: It was 15 years ago, and there was a democracy way before then... Tiburon itself started as a democracy that declared independence from the tyrannical Empire of Espiron Combined.

"Besides, save for the years of warring states, and Rasputin's tyranny, Roania has always been this way. And it always will."

OOC: It was 15 years ago, and there was a democracy way before then... Tiburon itself started as a democracy that declared independence from the tyrannical Empire of Espiron Combined.

OOC: Were you named after a company associated with video games like EA Sports NCAA Football 2004? :lol:

Na, I came up with this name myself... but its also an Indiana consulting company as well as a Hyundai car...

Na, I came up with this name myself... but its also an Indiana consulting company as well as a Hyundai car...

hmmm...most interesting...

now...get back to your rediculously long RP

"Besides, save for the years of warring states, and Rasputin's tyranny, Roania has always been this way. And it always will."

Nova calmed down, at least on the surface. "Perhaps it always has. But Roania is ten revolutions waiting to happen." He smirked a little. "Just you wait."

Nova calmed down, at least on the surface. "Perhaps it always has. But Roania is ten revolutions waiting to happen." He smirked a little. "Just you wait."


"Tell you what. Why don't I have one of my guards show you around? What about that women you were talking with? What's her name again?"

Nova stared at him. "You do not even know the names of your own officers? Her name is Kigari."

Nova stared at him. "You do not even know the names of your own officers? Her name is Kigari."

Alex smirked and made a mental note of that name. "Thank you, Nova. Now, why don't you get some sleep? It's.." he checked his watch, "After midnight."

OOC: A new thread might be a very good idea.

OOC: Ya. Plus a war thread... that's probably gonna happen soon...

"Indeed... but I'd like to take a little tour of this capital..."

OOC2: Something tells me they're not gonna be the best of friends...

OOC: I doubt it. Really, really doubt it. Look at this...

IC: Alexander nodded. "Very well then, your excellency." He snapped his fingers. "Kigari!"

She walked around the corner, blushing. "Yes, your highness?"

"I knew you would be listening in. Kigari, you will be showing his excellence around Roan city for a week."
