Congress Voting on Elves and Non-Humans.
It has recently come to the attention of the Sharldonian Congress that the world is becoming more, and more heavily populated with sentient creatures aside from Humans, it has been noted, after some researching and studying, that these beings, such as Elves, Cathumans, etc... can, if not dealt with in just the right manner, cause friction between themselves and Humans, claming they have fewer rights, or that they're better than Humans, or some other species, so a Bill has been set before the Congress for voting, if passed, all Non-Human sentients will be barred from Sharldonia, if not, then nothing will happen, if it is passed any sentient Non-Humans in Sharldonia will be asked to leave.
Pass the bill and Belem will send you 20 billion dollars.
Pass the bill and Belem will send you 20 billion dollars. Are you trying to BRIBE the Sharldonian Congress sir!?!

Its called foreign aid. Of course foreign aid must be selective.

Crimmond: But of course, they are sentient, they shall be treated as such if the Bill is passed.
Cyberutopia: No money shall be accpted on such matters.
So far the House of Representatives, which is one half of the Congress, is against the Bill for the most part, the House of Senate is totally undecided.
Sakkra: Define "Commit to action" if you would?

Should the bill be defeated, we would tender a proposal to begin "Species Sensitivity Training", in which humans may learn the culture and habits of other non-human species, and vice-versa.
Should the bill pass, we would be willing to extract the evacuating beings to our lands, where they can then disperse at their leisure to any other areas they wish.
What, you were expecting a war?
Cyberutopia: Go on, you don't need me to excuse you.
Sakkra: In a world like this? we should not be to shocked, no offense or course.
Understood. Our stance is war is fine for warmongers. We are not them.

House of Senate: 3/3rds UNDECIDED.

We'll burn that bridge if we come to it.
As a nation composed of a 89% elven population, of course we don't want that bill to be passed. However, if you're going to deport your elves, it will be a pleasure to accept them. But if you decide to:
1.- Burn them
2.- Torture them
3.- Sell them as slaves
4.- Use them as dog food
You will be on a diplomatic trouble. All I can promise if that you don't pass that bill, you could have a very nice political and trading relationship with the Empire of Aelosia
I will say this now, Sharldonia, and the Congress of Sharldonia, will NOT be swayed by threats, offers of money, or land, they will not be swayed by assassinations, or implied promises, their decision shall be made in an even, honest fashion, Humans are the majority here, so it's not looking good for the Elves, or the other Non-Humans, long live Democracy!
Representatives: 1/2 FOR, 1/2 AGAINST.
Senate: 1/2 FOR, 1/2 AGAINST.
For someone whos motto is "For World Peace!" i find this Vote of Congress very difficult to understand. You may not be swayed by Threats from other nations, but please take this as a Warning, not a Threat. You are playing a very dangerous Game here, considering your Population is only 7 million anyway, I do not understand why you wish to begin "cleansing" it in the first place. My people (Mostly Human), Have lived in Peace with Elves, Dwarves and various other Species for Years, and They all take part in our Government. We have nothing to hide from them, and they have nothing to hide from us, we work together as a team, and it troubles me to see other Nations always bickering about what to do with "them".
We await the decision of your Congress most eagerly.

Your last name is....Boogie?
Anyhow, the Congress continues to debate, and the House of Senate looks like it may swing in FAVOR of this Bill, we can't tell though, and we're not even going to speculate on the House of Representatives yet.
Yes, my last name is Boogie, handed down from my Father and those before him, that Created the What once was, Kingdom of Great Boogie, until we changed to an empire, several Months ago.
http://mysite.freeserve.com/boogieondown2/King_Boogie.jpg
The Dragonian Empire wishes to open it's wings to any of the elvish or dwarvish kind. The Dragonian Empire already has a very large population of elves and dwarves, and we have been able to live in harmony for thousands of years. Some elves and dwarves even hold seats in The People's Assembly House, the legislative/executive branch of Dragonia.
I will say this now, Sharldonia, and the Congress of Sharldonia, will NOT be swayed by threats, offers of money, or land, they will not be swayed by assassinations, or implied promises, their decision shall be made in an even, honest fashion, Humans are the majority here, so it's not looking good for the Elves, or the other Non-Humans, long live Democracy!
We're not threatening you in any way, and all that we offered was frienship, not money, or bribes. That was a warning. If you commit any kind of kinslaying (abuse or slaughter of elvenkind), you will be swayed not by our words, you will be swayed by a military fleet.
It's good that you are handling the issue in a democratic way, but humans don't have the right to abuse of the rest of the races just because they outnumber them. In that point of view the holocaust could be justified just because the jews were a minority.
Anyway, we are pleased to hear the words "even", and "honest" in your statement. As long as the situation don't escalate to a genocide or racial hatred scenario, we will accept and support your decisions.
Aelosia: Please don't incinuate Military action, it may cause trouble.

http://mysite.freeserve.com/boogieondown2/King_Boogie.jpg Sorry, I was just a little shocked.
Update: The Congress ic currently in a stalled position, we cannot seem to get anywhere.
The Dragonian Empire's People's Assembly have unanamiously decided to take military action with Aelosia if the unlawful killings of Elves and Dwarves takes place. We know that we cannot stop the legislation taking place, or the segregation of elves and dwarves, but any inhumane act taken against these life-bearing beings will result in a dual-force protection of the Elves and Dwarves.
TDE: Please define the probable extent of this Military action, if you would?
Representatives: 3/4 FOR, 1/4th AGAINST.
Senate: 1/2 FOR, 1/2 AGAINST.
Elves, Cathumans, Foxhumans, Dwarves, and other Non-Humans are starting to activley protest outside the Presidential Building in our Capital City of Hobart, demanding the freedom to stay in Sharldonia, they refuse to disperse.

While The Dragonian Empire has not had official contact with Aelosia, our course of military action, which is a combined unit with The Allied States of Defari, would be to eliminate all establishments made for the pourpose of inhumane treatment of non-humans. Also, any officers found or presumed to be aiding in the unlawful treatment of non-humans will also be either killed, or detained and tried in front of a tribunal

We are curious as to the debate regarding the bill. Perhaps you could provide a summary of various 'pro' and 'con' arguments presented, for our news services?
Also, we would appreciate it if you could elaborate upon the origins of your nation's foxpeople -- assuming they are not genetically engineered, that is. Ravenspire is one of the few places in the world to host such a population, in large numbers, so the existence of a similar race elsewhere is always of particular interest to us.

I think everyone can pretty easily guess how Menelmacar feels about all this. Though, even if the bill passes, as long as the Elves get to keep their assets and are allowed to leave freely and without trouble, we won't be blowing anything up. Though if you do pass it, we'd like to encourage you to send them to us, as part of our Send Us the People You Don't Want, Especially If They Have Pointy Ears program.

I am with you all the way on this one Menelmacar, We will go with what ever decision you wish to take at the End of this Vote. I just hope it goes well for the Elves, for Sharldonia's Sake.
http://mysite.freeserve.com/boogieondown2/Gavinrad_The_Dire.jpg
Ravenspire: Well, as an example for a pro/con argument, with the pro being why the Bill should not be passed.
Pro: Elves live far longer than Humans, they could be very usefull employed as scientists and researchers, as there would be less worry of them dying halfway throuhg a major project, barring accidents and the like.
Con: Elves have been described as notoriousley arrogant, this arrogance could cause truly extreme friction between the Elves and other species.
As you can see, this pro/con setup spoke specifically about Elves, more information will be made available later.
Menemacar: If the Bill passes, we'll consider it.
Great Boogie: Enough with the threatening statements, OK?
Meanwhile: In Hobart, the Military Police from the SRANG are holding the Presidential Building with the help of the Police, the crowd has sealed off the Presidential Building, and they refuse to let anyone out of it, a Company of the Sharldonia Republic Army Corps(SRAC) has been mobilized just outside Hobart, in case help is needed.
Con: Elves have been described as notoriousley arrogant, this arrogance could cause truly extreme friction between the Elves and other species.
So i guess you have never come across arrogant humans then? How lucky you are. Im sorry, but that is the most pathetic excuse for a con, i have ever seen.

The Aelosia's goverment just want that your elves remain unharmed and in a position of citizens. If that can't be achieved, please deport them to a nation that wants them, as Menelmacar, Aelosia, Celeborne, and many others. We'd like to handle this nicley, but the Non-Humans are causing trouble right now, as can be seen by the fact that we've had to call in MPs to guard the Presidential Building.
Another Company of SRANG Military Police has been called up to guard the Presidential Building,we have heard rumors tht some people are trying to stir the protetors further, to get them to seal off the Presidential Building from outside, rest assured that, if they do so, we shall use force if it becomes necessary to do so.
IC: Sergeant Carl Vance stood inside the Main Gate of the Presidential Building and looked out at the crowd, he wore a normal National Guard uniform, BDUs, minus the helmet, on his arm we had the black MP patch, at his side was a 9mm pistol, he had been ordered to watch the protesting crowd for any person who could be identified as a "Herd Leader" so that they knew who to go after if trouble started, at the sound of a bullhorn flaring to life, he perked up, he couldn't hear the voice clearly, but someone was talking loud now, he stepped forward a little bit, and began to listen.
OOC: Sorry for not putting this in the last post, had to work out some details.
IC: Kori stood up on top of the car with the bullhorn, like aoo the protestors, Kori was what the Sharldonian Congress called a "Non-Human" in Kori's case that meant he was a Foxhuman, he was just shy of 24, and lived in the Residential Sector of Hobart, he had come her intending to keep the Bill calling for all Non-Humans to be removed from Sharldonia from being passed "People!" he shouted into the bullhorn "People, listen to me please!" several began turning to face him "Thank you" Kori began "Now, why are we here?" the answer was like thunder "RESIDENCE!!!!" "Yeah" Kori said, then he pointed at the Presidential Building "Congress is in there, right?" a cheer answered him "Well I say it should stay that way untill they decide to let us stay in this nation, I say we should blockade the gates, noone goes in, noone goes out, who's with me!?!" another cheer answered him "Then let's go!" he shouted, and the crowd began pushing towards the Presidential Building.
Main Gate: Sergeant Vance saw the crowd pushing forward, expecting the worst, he drew his pistol and withdrew further into the gate area, he keyed his radio "Sergeant Vance here at the Main Gate, Captain, these people are pushing towards me sir, what do I do?" "Have they got weapons Sergeant?" "Not yet" "Go loud, but only shoot if they attack" "Yes sir" 'go loud' meant for him to ready his weapon, which he'd done, he settled in for a tense wait.

The People of Dragonia have covered the events of the legislation very closely.

Ok. Sorry. We are a fairly young nation and aren't yet very good at international relations. May we send our envoy?

The government of Thelas would like to offer asylum to any refugies from Sharldonia. If you wish, we can send a mediator, Eöl Táralóm, expirienced in dealing with race riots.
Thelas: Fine, but do not attempt to remove anyone from this country.
News: An odd rise in Elves and Non-Humans coming to Sharldonia has been detected.
The Dr. Elianel Hyral had just arrived to Sharldonia. He stepped out of the Aelosian vessel, unarmed and with no guards, just followed by his assistant, a little executive girl always writing in a notebook.
He approaches to the Sharldonia's guards waiting for him in the airport. "I'm the Aelosian mediator, Dr. Elianel Hyral, Can you take me to the place of the riots?", he says in a calm, quiet tone.
The twelve National Guardsmen standing waiting for the Dr. stay silent, untill a man in the National Guard uniform steps out of a nearby Jeep, the man wears the markings of a Major, and he looks to be somewhere around his mid-forties "Good afternoon Dr." he said "I trust you are ready to leave now? or is there something we can do for you before we go?"
"No, I've heard the news, and the situation is turning critical, please take there, I need to talk with those people", says the Dr.

LNN News Report
A rugged young man appears on the screen in front of a demonstration.
"Welcome back to LNN, I'm Johannes Doe here in Sharldonia with an update on the vote to expel Elves and other 'non-humans' from the country.
"As you can see behind me, a protest is going on in regards to the current vote by certain 'non-human' groups who are hoping to not have to leave their homeland. We're going to try to move in closer to interview the leader of the protestors, and hopefully later we will be able to get interviews with goverment officials and Dr. Elianel Hyral from Aelosia."
The leader of the Protestors isn't really hard to find, the one called Kori is standing atop a car, shouting with a bullhorn, spuring the Protestors onwards.
"Please let me go alone", says Elianel to the guards "I will talk to him".
He slowly mixed with the crowd, trying to approach to the leader of the protestors.
Larkinia
02-11-2003, 07:13
The cameraman swung around to get an action shot of Kori standing on the car and then got a picture of the buildings behind the group.
"We're going to try and see if any of them will speak to us."
Doe and the cameraman moved closed to the protest.
Aelosia: The SRANG soldiers are happy to oblige Dr. Hyral as he moves, he finds it difficult to get anywhere quickly, but he eventually find himself next to the car.
Larkinia: The crew had the same problems.

No problem, they're still trying to get in the area. You can decide if they get there in time to see the Doc or not. Dr. Hyral and the Larkinians end up running into one another near the car Kori is standing on top of.
"Hey!", shouts Elianel to Kori "May I have a word with you?. Maybe I can help you with this protest".
"Hey!", shouts Elianel to Kori "May I have a word with you?. Maybe I can help you with this protest". Kori looks around "Who the heck are you!?!" he shouted over the crowd.
"I'm a friend, see?, pointy ears", says Elianel pointing at his elven ears "I came from another country, to give you several advises on this. You shouldn't advance to the palace!"
Larkinia
02-11-2003, 07:23
The camera crew is going to be filming (live even) and wait until they can get a chance to ask some questions.
"Why the heck shouldn't we enclose the Presidential Building?" Kori shouted back, looking at Elianel "Hey, are you married?" he asked, as an afterthought.
"Yes I am, Why?", says Elianel, surprised by the unusual comment. "If you go there, you're going to be attacked by the police, and this will turn into a riot. Violence just call violence, and if this turns into an aggressive situation you will lose your international credibility"
"The Police here are not aggresive, they'll wait and attack only if we do" Kori pauseed "What's the name of your wife?"
"Ariana, but, What is your interest in that?. If you're going to march to the palace, please do it a the best civilized and peaceful way, without any provocations!", says Elianel, still surprised.
"Ariana?" Kori said, stepping down, the crowd not seeming to notice "Can you tell me a little bit about her?"
"I knew her in Kecha, during a mission trying to investigate the behaviour of the elven population of that nation. She's clear and nice as the open sky at dawn!. But, Why you want to know about that?"
"I knew her in Kecha, during a mission trying to investigate the behaviour of the elven population of that nation. She's clear and nice as the open sky at dawn!. But, Why you want to know about that?" "She sounds like a helluva woman" Kori said, the crowd was calming down a little now without him spurring them on, but just a little "I'll have to meet her sometime, my reason for asking is this, if you have a wife, why are you here?"
"Because it's my duty and my job. I swore to do everything at my hands to improve the state of the relations between the different races, and I'm a men who respects his word. To be sincere, I would like to be with my wife in a pristine beach now, but duty calls".

"As long as it remains peaceful," contributed a third voice.
A pretty young foxgirl with red hair and a chipper smile bowed slightly to Kori, and indicated the microphone she carried. "Rurika Isegawa, Ravenspire News Network. Would you mind stating your position for our viewers?"
"I just don't want anybody hurt, that's all. Tell me, what are your demands?, maybe I can take them to a higher level".
Kori looked at Rurika and grinned "I thought it was obvious, we're here to make sure that Bill gets defeated" then he looked out at the crowd again "If something happens to fire this up, someone's gonna' die"
Ravenspire
02-11-2003, 23:58
"That's what I was afraid of." Rurika shakes her head. "Assuming the bill does get defeated, what place do you see for yourselves in Sharldonian society? And what contributions do you expect to be able to make to it?"
"We see ourselves as being regular Citizens in Sharldonian society, as for contributions? we're just as able to help this country as any Human, and, just like them, we're capable of some amazing stuff"
Ravenspire
03-11-2003, 08:01
"I see. And, before the introduction of this bill, wat sort of interaction did you have with the human population?"
"Nothing abnormal, they're basing this discussion on activities in other nations, reports, etc..."
Ravenspire
03-11-2003, 15:37
"There are many nations within which two or more different races live more or less in harmony. Has the legislature considered those examples?"
After Kori's response, Rurika added, "If you don't mind switching to a personal level for a moment, what job did you hld here, and how have you personally interacted with humans and others, prior to the introduction of this bill?"
"Myself?" Kori asked "I'm a Foreman down at the Dockyards, I'm also a Sergeant in a unit of National Guard Combat Engineers"
The votes have been recounted again, now they turn out like this:
House: 3/4ths in favor, 1/4th undecided.
Senate: 1/2 in favor, 1/2 undecided.
"Are you a soldier?", asks Elianel "You didn't look like one".
"Most people say that about Combat Engineers for some reason, more so if they're in the National Guard, the National Guard is Provincial troops, and they only serve active part-time, unlike the Army, or the Marines, plus I haven't been in the NG for long"
"Seize the opportunity, talk with that reporter so you could attract the international attention to this business. I know many nations that could help you if the bill passes. But why the humans of this country hate, or fear you?", says Elianel.
"Foreign occurences is why they hate us, along with some kind of Human fear of that they cannot controll and understand, by the way, did you notice all the new Elves and Non-Humans coming into the D.R.S.? I'm told there's a bunch of them coming in now"
"Just remain calm. But How many Elven haters could exists in this nation. I'm sure many humans like the other races", says Elianel, looking at Kori's eyes.
"These people are like sheep, because they've spent to much time around all-Human communities and the like, it could be misunderstanding, but then, I'm just a minor player"
OOC: Aelosia, stand by for a T-Gram soon, OK?
