Δeo Proμεnαδa, Dεiαiy, 3 hours before the ceremony...

Delaria was having a fit. Sirithil had still not responded to the invitation to the opening ceremony, and the start wasn't far off.

"Kierea!" she screeched. "Damnit woman, are you sure you sent the reminder?"

"Look, for the last time, I got a reply saying she'd look it over, but no definite response!"

"I don't believe this... This isn't happening!"

Delaria threw her hands up in dispair, and legged it out of the office, at least, as fast as a person could leg whilst wearing 5 inch heels and a tight ankle-length dress, towards the Temple...



OOC NOTE: This follows on from this rather short thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=73196&highlight=). :P

If anyone wants to take part then TM me...

A single private jet flew to Peng-Pau. On board was William and only him. He din't trust anyone else of his nation right now to come to this party so he went alone.

"This is William. Requesting permission to land. Over."

Dεiαiy International Airport, Dεiαiy...

Williams voice crackled over the radio in the Air Traffic Control towers in Dεiαiy International Airport.

"This is Dεiαiy Air Traffic Control. You have entered Peng-Pese airspace. State your flight number or registration and purpose." responded one of the attendants...

"This is William i Eldandil Xylon of New Avalon. Registration Alpha-Charlie-Zero-Zero-One. Here on formal state visit for the opening ceremony of the Sirithilist Temple. You should note I am expected."

Dεiαiy International Airport, Dεiαiy...

William's response crackles over the radio.

"Acknowledged, your Eminence. You are cleared to land on runway 7. A limousine will meet you once stationary to take you to the Cαpιταlιa's residence." responded the attendant.

William acknowledges the message and lands on the said runway a few minutes later.
After the plane had taxied and stopped he stepped out with his blue uniform on. He quickly went to the limousine and got in. "There's no one else driver. Go right ahead."

Reports of graffiti and vandalism appear at the local Deiaiy police station. During the night, members of an unknown gang began to spray paint the words upon shop windows and walls;

"For Lafalkr and Xizjagr, the Diety and the Chosen One"

Security video shows that various hooded and obscured persons were responsible...

Dεiαiy International Airport, Dεiαiy...

The limousine driver pulled away from the aeroplane, and set off for the Parliamentary Headquarters, the enormous governmental complex built upon the overhang of the northern edge of Peng-Pau in which Delaria resides...

Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

Delaria gave a feral growl upon receiving reports of graffiti in and around Dεiαiy.

"What should we do, Cαpιταlιa?" asked a confused and vaguely worried Policeman.

"Clean it up, maybe?" seethed the Cαpιταlιa through her teeth...

She threw the report at the officer, and stamped her foot on the floor...

"Why does this always happen to me?"

"Cαpιταlιa, William's arrived at the airport..." interjected Kierea.

"Great..." mumbled Delaria.

Δeo Proμεnαδa, Dεiαiy...

A team of 300 frantic people began to attack the graffiti in Dεiαiy...

Reply to Forwarded message from Yonnis ini Yonnas...

Greetings Yonnis.

As you probably know, I am Delaria Czjvenedestra of Peng-Pau.

You are welcome in our country whenever you wish, as are most international leaders. If you wish to attend, then I suggest you make haste, as the ceremony starts in two hours.

Good day.

Czjvenedestra out.

William stepped out of the limosine as they pulled up to the Parliamentary Headquarters. Walking up slowly to the tall glass doors of the large white building. Entering the large lobby decked out in green and white marble. He approaches the nearest person and speaks. "Tell your boss that King and Emporer Willial i Eldandil Xylon of New Avalon has arrived."

The Lobby, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

The president of MacroSoftware turned on his heels and looked at William, his mouth gaping.

"I beg your pardon?" he said, infuriated. "Who the bloody hell ar-"

A quick thinking receptionist butted in before the situation could get out of hand...

"I apologise, your Eminence." she said, bowing slightly to William. "Please, follow me to the private bar where you'll be made welcome while I contact the Cαpιταlιa."

She ushered him off towards a large polished oak door lead up to by a red carpet, and sided by two security men. The President of MacroSoftware just stood looking confused...

The Cαpιταlιa's Office, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

The chime on the videophone rang once. Twice. A third time, before Delaria grudgingly punched the 'Receive Call' button.

"What?" she said groggily.

"William's here, D." responded Kierea.

"Oooh!" she squealed, and then she realised what Kierea had said...

"Kierea, darling, if you want to keep your job, never ever call me that again..."

She ended the call before Keirea could respond, and dashed off to her room to delve in the wardrobe for something to change in to, before rushing off to the swimming pool sized bathroom to put on some makeup...

William opened the doors and entered the bar. He walked up to the bar and asked the barmaid for a drink. "Something local would be nice." He added and waited for anyone to arrive.

The Cαpιταlιa's Suite, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

Delaria frantically tried to do up the lacing on the back of the white PVC dress she'd chosen from the wardrobe, and cursed as she fumbled and tangled it again...

The Cαpιταlιa's Suite, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

The dress finally done up, Delaria set to work on lacing the long white boots she'd chosen to go with it...

Williamstands at the bar and gets some sort of drink called Uski. He thanks the barmaid and sit down on one of the sofa's and pours some 'Uski" into his glass. He snifs a bit and takes a s mall sip, wich he washes in his mouth before swallowing. Deciding it isn't that bad he takes a slightly larger sip and relaxes in the couch. Thinking how nice the bar is.

The Cαpιταlιa's Suite, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

Delaria finishes lacing the boots, and puts on some lipstick, eyeliner, and mascara. Satisfied that her makeup is finished, she ties her hair back in a tight ponytail, the striking red contrasting with the brilliant white of the dress.

She pulls on a pair of shoulder length gloves, white, naturally, matched with the shoulderless dress, and exits the suite of rooms...

To Delaria of Peng-Pau:

I apologize deeply for the delay in responding to your communication. There was some confusion regarding compatibility issues between the comm networks of our two nations.

Nonetheless, I gladly accept your invitation and I will be present for the ceremony.

Sirithil's message popped up on the screen in front of Kierea, and the Peng-Pese woman squealed and rushed out of the office to alert Delaria...

The Bar, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

Delaria entered one of the glass elevators that run down the centre of the building to the lobby, and pressed the "Ground" button...

The elevator began its descent...

Reply from Peng-Pese Department of Foreign Affairs...

Grand Maester Yuna,

The Peng-Pese people are a multi-cultural people who see no reason to bar religions from the land. As some have chosen Sirithilism as their path, we have provided them a place of worship.

The specifics of the Church of Yevon intrigue us. Would it be possible for you to send us a delegation of the priesthood to teach us of your beliefs, or some kind of documentation on the religion? It would be much appreciated.

*A large package with a single copy of each of the 30 Holy Books that contain the Teachings of Yevon is sent to Peng-Pau, the first Ten Books contain the Original Teachings as spoken and written by the Prophet Jeris Gamm, the other 20 are books written by various Maesters and Summoners over the centuries that were declared holy, mainly interpretations on Yevon doctrine and National Law*

Hope this helps, Praise be to Yevon!

"Δeos κιlaιαε..." he mutters. "Why can't they ever keep it simple?"

He places the books up on the shelves behind his desk, filled with the holy books and scrolls, even data cubes in some cases, of some several thousand religions. They site nicely between the 43 volume "Scrolls of Eden", and 200 page "Rede of Czjvenedism"...

William finishes his bottle of Uski and askes the barmaid if he may have another. "Never have I had to waitwith a celebration to be greeted formally so long. This better be worth the wait. Well at least this Uski is great." He thinks to himself and thanks the barmaid as she gives him another bottle and he takes a sip.

The Lobby, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

Delaria stepped out of the glass elevator, trailed by two security guards, a receptionist trying to pass on several messages, a man from the Religious Affairs Office moaning about the length of religious texts, someone trying to get an autograph, and a jack russel puppy.

It barked, and ran between her legs, nearly tripping her up.

She growled, and the assembled 'crowd' gasped.

She kicked it. They 'phewed'.

"Someone get rid of this damned dog. I thought pets were banned from this building..." she grumbled nonchalantly.

A porter ran over and grabbed the dog, and ran over to the entrance doors with it, whence he threw the thing out.

Kierea dashed accross from one of the other elevators. Delaria stopped to let her catch up.

"Delaria, Sirithil's replied to your message." she told her boss breathlessly.

Delaria sighed with relief...

"Finally." she grumbled, and resumed her walk towards the bar...

The Bar, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

The barmaid orders a Flightless Hippo and sweetcorn pizza, the only known miracle cure for Uski induced drunkness...

William looks over the strange meals. He eats them although he might be a little disgusted. For cultural and pilotics sake. To his suprise it doesn't taste half bad and he starts feeling more clear headed.

You guys would not believe this place, Sirithilists everywhere. Not like Seocc at all, they've got a spiritual advisor here and everything. I found a nice hostel to stay at until the temple opens and I can offer my praise to the Goddess herself.

Peace in All Things,

Yonnis.

The Lobby, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

Delaria tripped on the red carpet as she entered the bar. According to the barmaid, her cry of 'Woooaaargh!' was something to treasure in memory for years to come.

The Cαpιταlιa growled and clambered back on to her feet, shaking off a person trying to help her back on to her feet.

"Bug'roff! The lot of you, go on, shoo!" she shouted, and the assemblage dissipated back into the lobby.

She brushed her hair back behind her ears, and brushed down her knees, and groaned as she noticed a slight mark on the dress.

"Today is not my day..." she hissed to herself through her teeth.

She surveyed the room quickly, checking for people, trying to fit a face to the description of William, and her gazed settled on the only male in the room.

She thought Bloody hell, he's.. fit....

She said "Kαroς mε- *" and winced slightly as she realised what she'd started blurting out, and winced more when the barmaid started chuckling like her aide...

OOC: What about the new Temple I am building in Deiaiy and the missionaries I have sent to your nation?

William saw Delaria enter the bar and emediatly stopped what he was doing and stood up. His full 2 meters and 4 centimeters of height made very clear now.
He slowly walks over to Delaria and drops onto one knee and bows. He takes her hand in a very gentle and soft grip and kisses it lightly. "Greetings milady Delaria. I be Emperor and King William i Eldandil Xylon of New Avalon. I be very pleased to meet thine acquaintance." He says and looks up at her, slowly giving her back her hand.

Delaria, lost for words, gives a feeble "Mnhm..." in response...

She coughs slightly.

"I am Cαpιταlιa Rεverεnςα Dεlarια Czjvεneδeςtra of Peng-Pau." she stated, placing her hands, left on top of the right, on her lap. She bowed...

While I am pleased that our ally Lady Sirithil nos Fëanor is so popular on the international scene, you will see nary a SLAGLandic envoy in sight at your temple's dedication. Sirithil worshippers represent a minority that could best be described as "barely mentionable." In fact, a recent poll by Quien Es Mas Über magazine stated that you're ten times more likely to find a S.H.O.D.A.N. worshipper than a Sirithil worshipper. Living deities are very rarely worshipped in The SLAGLands; after all, their worshippers are more likely to see them screw up.

I offer my hearty congratulations, but I still don't see what the big deal is.

OOC: RP'ed this bit out with Delaria on IRC

William stood up and looked down onto Delaria. "Again I must say it is a pleasure to meet you milady. And might I add that you look absolutely beautifull."

Delaria blushed slightly, knowing full well that it's the truth. She felt overshadowed by the tall man, but didn't let it show.

William sees Delaria blush and smiles. "A very nice place you have here. And thank you very much for the Uski and food."

"Thankyou." she smiled at him, and can't help wondering why he ... he's so tall. She chuckles and looks around the bar. "It is very homely, isn't it. I'll take you for a tour later, during the after ceremony party, along with the other delegates." She says. "Aaand..." she adds as an afterthought, "Don't drink too much of the Uski..."

William nods and continues to smile. "That would be lovely." He says and bows slightly. He lets out a small chuckle upon hearing her Uski comment.

The Bar, Peng-Pau Parliamentart Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

Delaria lead William over to a table in the middle of the room, surrounded by four comfortable leather sofas. She sat down on one, and she gestured for William to take a seat beside her.

She gestured towards the bar, and the barmaid walked over.

"Vnμειaδιldiaς proδας midδrεκι?" the woman asked the Cαpιταlιa in Peng-Pese. (Lit: Order you what now?)

"Οnnας Fεαυkκις Μμαδιrikaε, βliςα mαε." replied the Cαpιταlιa. (Lit: One Frisky Watermelon, I ask of you.)

She turned to William.

"Would you like a drink?" she asked him...

William sat down next to Delaria on the sofa like she gestured. He attentively listened to Delaria and the barmaid speak in Peng-Pese.
He looked at Delaria and smiled. "Yes please. You order for me milady." He says and nods. "That Peng-Pese is a beautifull language. Could you tell me something in it?"

The Bar, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

Delaria nodded.

"Οnnας Λlikκαι Βlιακςιαnmοκαςιε, βliςα mαε." she told the barmaid. (Lit: One Bonked Cauliflower I ask of you.)

The barmaid walked off, and Delaria looked back towards William.

"I got you a glass of champagne." she told him.

"So." she added. "You want to learn something in Peng-Pese?" she asked him...

William nods. "Yes please. I would much like to learn a little of each nation I visit. It's always nice to learn something new I always say." He says and waits for Delaria to speak again.

The Bar, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

Delaria ponders for a moment.

"Well... Where to start..." she leans forward and rests her chin on her hand, and her elbow on her knee.

"Μαε nαμmαες ιςταε nας Wιllαεm..." (Lit: I am the one known as William.)

The Bar, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

William smiled and said "Μαε nαμmαες ιςταε nας Wιllαεm..." following it with "And what would that mean?"

Delaria smiled.

"My name is William." she told him.

"I see. Got anything else to teach me?" he replied.

Delaria chuckled. The barmaid lifted a glass of water to her lips to take a sip.

"Uvoς ςleατipαεις ταε mαε ις nαεικaταe?"

The barmaid coughed and spluttered on her drink. Delaria smirked.

William chuckled.

"How would I say 'you are as beautifull as a flower, as radiant as the sun, and as soft as silk.'?" he asked the Cαpιταlιa.

"Hmm..." she ponders.

"Uvoς ταε ις nικlλkαεις οnnας fαελleαι, ταε ις mαεκιlaις οnnας δaεαις, mας ταε ις pαrες οnnας ςιlκιαε." (Lit: You be as look like a plant, be as light as the big star, and be as felt like worm-sh**.)

The barmaid giggles slightly, still recovering from the last phrase.

William looks at Delaria. "Uvoς ταε ις nικlλkαεις οnnας fαελleαι, ταε ις mαεκιlaις οnnας δaεαις, mας ταε ις pαrες οnnας ςιlκιαε."
He then looks at the barmaid. "What's so funny?"

The Bar, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

The barmaid looks at William, worried.

"Er.. Nothing, nothing..."

She brings over the drinks Delaria ordered - a glass of champagne, and a Banana Colada - and scurries off to the kitchens...

William grabs his drink and takes a sip. "Now milady. Would you like to tell me a line in Peng-Pese?" He says and takes another sip.

The Bar, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

Delaria chuckled.

"Uvoς ιnnαεςι οvovας nebrαεκuς." (Lit: You, me, bed, now.)

She winked.

William smiled, and he din't know why. But he blushed aswell. "And what does it mean milady?"

The Bar, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy...

"Where's the nearest train station?" she said, without skipping a beat.

William chuckled. "I think it's a little due east from here." He says and smiles. "So milady. Could you tell me a little on what I should expect to happen?"

OOC: Bump, waiting for Menelmacar to post...

The Bar, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Delaria stood, and gestured for William to do so.

"I assume you wish to tour the building?" she asked him.

William stood up and bowed slightly to Delaria. "I would be delighted milady." He says and stands next to her. "Lead the way milady Delaria."

...............................still
OOC: Bump, ^ waiting for Menelmacar to post...

The Bar, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Delaria nodded to William.

"Well then, follow me..."

She gestured towards the exit from the bar back into the Lobby, and walked towards it.

She opened the door and stepped out into the lobby. She spotted someone running frantically across the expanse towards her, and grumbled.

"Hang on, can you wait here for me please..." she said to William, and dashed towards the figure...

He nodded and stood still on the spot looking at Delaria doing so.
She's nice. He thought to himself. William stay with it. Remember Yuzu.

The Lobby, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Delaria faltered midrun, and turned her head for a moment to look questioningly towards William before continuing...



OOC NOTE: Some Peng-Pese people (about 1 in 10, hehehe) are empathic. Delaria is slightly higher in ability than the normal Peng-Pese Empath, in that she can occasionally get the gist of a thought.

And yes, I have said this before...

William questiongly looked at Delaria. Why's she looking at me? Go on I'll be here when you get back.

The Lobby, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Delaria stopped running when she was within 3 metres of the other person.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"She's not here yet!" the other woman blurted loudly and anxiously.

"Who?!" demanded Delaria.

"Sirithil! She's not here yet!"

"What?! What's the time?"

"We have 2 hours left until the ceremony starts..."

"Mιεrςαςτα..." cursed the Cαpιταlιa.

Delaria turned her head to look back at William for a moment.

"We have one guest who's arrived..." she said disheartenedly.

"And another four on the way..."

Okay William try to think of something else then Delaria.... Nice lobby. Good architect that made this. He thought to himself and looked around the lobby.

The Lobby, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Delaria sighed and began her walk back towards William. She looked at the lobby, with its white and green marble flooring, arranged like a chessboard, and the mahogony panelled walls; all a stark contrast to the eight modern styled glass lifts that rose elegantly up a wide shaft up the centre of the building. Each lift was connected to the main building every 5th level by a glass jetway.

She remembered standing at the bottom of the lifts as a child and staring upwards at the skylight at the top, watching the sunlight that streamed through it reflect off the glass panes lining the inside walls of the shaft and lighting the whole array up majestically.

She remembered standing there at night-time, when the lifts themselves provided the illumination, striplights on the cars reflecting light around the car's vicinity.

Delaria sighed, pining for her childhood again, the days when everything was simple, when things like love and war didn't bother her, and continued her walk towards William...

William bowed as Delaria came close. "Shall we continue?"

The Lobby, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Delaria nodded to William.

"A good idea if I ever heard one..." she stated.

"Follow me to the lifts, and I'll show you around the departments."

She guided William towards the shafts that began on the floor in the centre of the lobby and continued up the centre of the building...

William looked up the glass shaft and was stunned by the sight. "Absolutely stunning sight this is milady." He says and looks back at Delaria. Stunning indeed.

The Lobby, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Delaria smirked at William. She reached out with her right hand and pressed a button marked "Καleος*".

The elevator car sped down the shaft at a disconcerting speed from the top, slowing suddenly two floors above them, and completed the final floor at a considerably slower speed, coming to a halt in front of them. The doors emmitted a chime and slid open.

Delaria stepped into the car...



*: Call.

William stepped in the elevator with Delaria. "It's nice that these elevator's are made of glass. Back in Diablo_NL they have no means of looking to the outside. A shame realy."

A Lift, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Delaria chuckled.

"Most people find it disconcerting to stand on the walkway at the top and look down the shaft."

She shrugged, and pressed a button with the word "ΞΛΣΚΑΣΙΧΠ*" next to it.

The lift doors chimed a lower note and slid closed.

The elevator began to rise in the shaft...



*: International Relations.

"Yes many people would have that. Fear of heights is only a natural response. I just like to enjoy the view." He says and looks at Delaria.

A Lift, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

The lift ascended to the 30th floor...

"Fλοuraςιεα Δiεαr." spoke a voice inside the car.

"We're here" announced Delaria.

The doors slid open, and she walked through them...

William followed Delaria out of the elevator. "Please continue the tour." He said and motioned her to do so.

Department of International Relations, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Delaria led William through a maze of corridors and up one flight of stairs to a large open plan office. The place was hectic; papers everywhere, things pinned to the partitions, piles of paper on the floor, bookshelves dotting the walls of the room containing the texts of laws and religions from all corners of the world.

As she entered the room, it went quiet. Some people stood, but most of them remained seated. She walked over to one of the people who had stood; a man of about 50 years.

"Δεος Cαpιταlιa." he spoke as she approached him.

She nodded in reply. She gestured towards William.

"Deςαιn, this is William i Elandil of Avalon. William, Deςαιn Nescαrtια, our Cαpιταlις Inατια Rεαlιnςα*."



*: Leader of International Relations

William nodded. "It is New Avalon milady. To be born on the mythicall island Avalon from the Arthurian tales would be a great Honour. Alas I am but the first born of the city New Avalon." He says and smiles and walks up to the old man and bows to him before offering his hand. "William i Eldandil Xylon of New Avalon as you might already know."

Department of International Relations, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Delaria coughed slightly.

"Oh, right..." she said rather embarrassedly.

William smiled slightly. "Do not worry milady. Making mistakes is only human." He said.

Department of International Relations, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Delaria coughed slightly..

"Yes..."

She shook off her embarrassment, and continued.

"This is the man you spoke to when requesting to attend the ceremony."

Deςαιn moved to say something, but Delaria cut him off midvowel.

"If you'll follow me this way..." - she began to walk towards a corridor - "...we can continue the tour."

She smiled.

William bowed slightly to the man and quickly got next to Delaria again. And followed her as she continued the tour.

Department of International Relations, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Deςαιn walked over to a desk after the Cαpιταlιa had walked out of sight and logged into the computer system by pressing his thumb onto the scanner built into the keyboard.

The computer sprang to life, loading up a series of programs and prompting for inputs and passwords at irregular intervals.

When the machine had finally finished initialising, he double clicked an icon marked "Connect to Dειαiy Intelligence Agency Network".

Another password dialog appeared, requiring a username, a password, a thumbnail scan, and a voice print.

"Deςαιn. Alεf Nεmeβt Mιnkοτa Nεverγthιnε. Zero One Zero." he spoke.

"Processing..." replied the terminal in a melodic female voice.

"Welcome, Deςαιn." it said after a few moments.

"Morning Idεralιa." he replied, and bought up a window marked 'Browse Classified Database'.

He clicked a few more buttons, and bought up a search window. In the 'Name' field, he typed "Yonnis E. Yonnas"...

Bumpity.

OOC: Bump, sort of... Still waiting for SeOCC to post, and I'm trying to keep this thread out of oblivion...

May get it archived and continue elsewhere...

ooc: sorry, i was waiting for the opening of the temple; i thought i'd sorted out everything else with Peng Pau via TG. if not, TG what i'm missing.

ooc: oh, zog, just realized i didn't TG you Yonnis' dossier.

ooc: oh, zog, just realized i didn't TG you Yonnis' dossier.

OOC: Yay, finaly... :D


Department of International Relations, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Deςain frowned at his terminal, blipping up warnings about his actions and their possible reprocussions.

"Idεralιa you feind, give me what I want now..." he growled at the screen. "Delaria herself has requested a dossier on each guest to the opening, now let me through!"

"And you failed to mention this first because...?" chided the feminine voice of Idεrelia from the speakers.

"Oh shut up and put me through."

The man leant back on his chair and crossed his arms while the computer opened a connection to the SeOCC Intelligence Agency networks.

"Finally."

He clicked another icon marked "Vιdεςτακ", and a large window appeared containing the results of his enquiry.

"Now, lets see who you are Mr. Yonnas..."

He opened a file marked "Yonnas, Y - Intel Report.doc" and the file opened in AccuRead...

"Bugger."

A large prompt appeared saying "ENCRYPTED DATA. INPUT DECRYPTION CODE TO CONTINUE...".

"Idεralia," he said.

"Yes?" replied the speakers.

"Can you crack this file? I didn't receive a decryption code from SeOCC..."

"Processing..."

Deςain leant back in his chair, preparing to wait at least ten minutes, and he blinked when Idεralia announced that the code had been cracked after just a few seconds.

"That was quick..." he stated pointlessly.

"SeOCC needs better encryption algorythms," answered Idεralia. "We haven't used things like this for over 100 years."

Deςain chuckled, and began to read the decrypted text...

He frowned at the file.

"Oh dear..."

ooc: among other things, you did receive the decrtpt code, since if you were reading it ... and didn't i mark that report EYES ONLY, as in YOUR EYES ONLY, as in DON'T GO POSTING IT ON NATIONSTATES.

ooc: among other things, you did receive the decrtpt code, since if you were reading it ... and didn't i mark that report EYES ONLY, as in YOUR EYES ONLY, as in DON'T GO POSTING IT ON NATIONSTATES.

OOC: Oops... :?

*removes*

And this was the data Deςain received from the search, not the dossier. ;)

Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Deςain picked up the printout of the Yonnis search from the printer tray and ran out of the International Relations office towards the nearest elevator bank...



The Lobby, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

An elevator lowered to a stop in the Lobby and the doors slid open. The Cαpιταlια and William stepped out of it chattering to each other quietly, the tour of the non-restricted areas of the Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters completed, Delaria chuckling occasionally and expressing herself loudly with her arms...

William smiled greatly as he talked with Delaria, she was very friendly. "A very beautiful and great building you have here. I'm quite jealous our architects haven't thought of some of these things." He said to her.
"So milady, what will be next for us?"

The Lobby, Peng-Pau Parliamentary Headquarters, Dεiαiy, Peng-Pau...

Delaria chuckled.

"The building's over 100 years old, and the designs even moreso. The architect who came up with it was literally centuries ahead of his time," she said, smirking slightly. "We've just had it redone to fix some structural issues."

She gestured back towards the bar.

"Shall we?" she intoned, and began to walk towards the ornate bar.

"Certainly milady." William said and gestured Delaria to lead. "Excuse me for asking, but where are the other guests?"

Delaria grumbles.

"The invites were sent out. We've received negative replies from only one of them, and a possible from two..."

She grumbles more.

"And none of them apart from you are here yet."

"I see." He says and ponders for a moment. "I don't really mind. The less guests the more time I get to spend with this beauty. He thinks to himself. "Is there something we could do untill the other guests arrive?"
