Theallas sat in his office, filling out the mountains of paper work, especially those damn diplomatic reports from NY&NJ. damn it, first I get arrested, thrown in a super-max prison, and on top of all that, my love, Aliria, is probably going to never talk to me again.

Theallas stood, walking up to the window, looking over the massive city before him, I am not fit to rule, I am an assassin, not a politician. Almost as if to answer his thought, Commander Netari walked into the room, he was holding a Charged Particle Pistol. He was pointing the weapon at Theallas, “Sir, I regret to inform you that…” “Yes, I know Commander, you are here to inform me that I no longer am in command of the government.” “Yes Sir, I am, the government is now under my command, I am giving you two days, in which you may gather your belongings and leave the nation.”

“I only own what I carry with me Emperor, for that is what you will not call yourself, is it not?” “How did you know?” “I saw your face when I ordered you put on leave commander, it was all there in your soul, I will leave immediately.”

Several Hours Later, Theallas had departed the nation of the Sea, and left for places that only God knows.

Soon, Emperor Netari issued a statement to the nations of the world,

“In the nation of Thelas, a new dawn rises, now the nation of Thelas is no longer headed by an insane madman. It is no longer guided by fools who try to wear the crown of power, no longer shall the sword of leadership be held by incompetents. This morning, General Theallas was exiled, now I assume the role of Emperor of Thelas.

As my first act, I have declared that Thelas shall, for a indefinite period of time, close its’ borders to all nations, that we shall for a time, stop, to repair the damage that Theallas in his foolishness has caused.

Long Live the Empire!”

OOC: Okay, in OOC terms here are my reasons for doing these things, for a time now I have felt that my own OOC idiotic choices have gotten in the way of my RPing. Situations like my bungle in NY&NJ are becoming more and more frequent, and should never happen, by no means am I leaving NS, I am just taking a vacation from the national scene. Theallas will show up, but no longer as a leader, he will appear more as what he once was, an assassin. Any one who remembers one of Rave Shentavo’s RPs, the one about how Ravyllen/Azraell came to earth, where Theallas was a madman seeking power, that is what Theallas is going to be like. For any one who watches the anime series Rurouni Kenshin, imagine Kenshin as Battosai, then think about what would have happened if he had spent seven hundred years killing, men, women, children, elves, humans, orcs and all other races. That is what Theallas is about to become. Also, remember, Theallas is no longer the leader of Thelas, he is a loner now, I just use Thelas to post.

In case you want to know, he went to Menelmacar, under a false name. He smuggled his weapons in, and is about to cause some major head aches for a certain elven Queen…

Menelmacar, this is why a put a ATTN warning, Aelosia, you might be interested in this.

Menel, if you want to RP Theallas; arrival in Menelmacar, we can do that. I just need to go get IRC working…

IC: Theallas walked slowly, This place is familiar, these buildings seem to call to me. The people here are elves, but what do I have to do with them? Theallas continued to walk, it was spring in Menelmacar, couples on benches in the park, enjoying each others’ company, children played, running this way and that. Yet amongst all the warmth and happiness, a shadow walked. Those who got close to him felt the air get cold, a it seemed that the lights of the city seemed to fade.

Theallas walked, he eventually found himself standing in front of a Government office building. As he looked up, an odd sense of purpose over came him, Some one, some one inside that building will die tonight.

Theallas crouched, scuttling through the doors, avoiding the guards and security cameras, he came to the person he would kill. He knocked on the door, waiting for the person to open it. The clerk was surprised, he did not know this elf, but he assumed that he was just another government official, probably military. “Who are you?” “I am from the military, it seems that some of your accounting practices are in question.” “Oh, come right…” As the clerk turned, Theallas’ blade in a flash had stabbed from the back of his neck, out the front, severing the spinal chord. Theallas cleaned off his blade, and slowly snuck out of the building.

(OOC: Theallas is still in prison... I'll run with the Netari thing. Siri is extremely pissed off about you messing up the Lavenrunz situation, and she intends to make the protectorate an outright province of Menelmacar, and to disarm the Thelasi military. I'm going to assume Siri made Netari the new viceroy.

On the Theallas thing... assuming he wasn't still in prison - which he is - he'd have rather little luck getting into Menelmacar, since his DNA is on file. Then there's the matter of the weapons, most of which are rather distinctive. Keep in mind Theallas isn't technically a Menelmacari citizen, he's a citizen of a protectorate thereof, which isn't quite the same thing. Menelmacari weapons regs are lax, but only for citizens. Now, assuming he got that far, someone in a military office building wouldn't just assume you had the right to be there, especially if you weren't in uniform... you'd probably have had to show ID five or six times and get a DNA scan before even getting that far. Come on, this is the Eternal Noldorin Empire of Menelmacar, not Mozambique or Burkina Faso. We take security seriously.

IC post pending.)

OOC: I forgot to mention, I amworking serval of the prison problems out with NY&J. I never stated that the building was a millitary building, I only said that the clerk thought Theallas was millitary, the sword and all, the office building was just that, a low level government office building. The clerk was a lower level financial clerk, who was embesling money into his own accounts. I am still working on how in Gods name Theallas got into Menelmacar. Give me a day and I will have it for you.

bumo so this does not dissapear into the bottom of the Forums.

OOC: Okay, this is called, Thelas’ player trying to cover up a mistake… so bear with me


IC:

Twenty years ago, Thelas was still part of the Dominion, still allied with the Reich, still an ally of Arda. This was what later Thelasi historians would call “The Dark Times” when Thelas turned its’ back on all other elves. Now we see an action, created in malice, that would cause more turmoil in later times.

General Theallas had gone through a usual check-up, his tri-helical (As a LOTR fanatic, I believe that elves have tri-helical DNA, as opposed to a bi-helical structure that a human has) DNA was sampled and analyzed for any anomalies. And Theallas went on his way. Un-known to the former assassin, while he had been un-couscous, due to some minor surgery, dealing with an old shrapnel wound, the doctors had preformed another type of surgery, a mental variety. copying Theallas’ memories onto a computer, for their own use.

Commander Netari walked over to a doctor, “Is everything ready?” “Yes Sir, are you sure about this, the clone will have all of Theallas’ memories, the good and the bad, it will also have certain, issues, the same ones that the General struggles with.” “I am sure, this is the only way to ensure that the clone will be as powerful as Theallas.” “Yes sir.”

Later, as the clone (not surprisingly, looking like a un-scarred version of Theallas) Netari muttered one thing, Neithan min (wronged one)

Unfortunately, Netari’s plans went wrong, as soon as this copy gained hold of a sword, he escaped, showing all the power that Theallas himself possessed, he escaped into the darkness, never to be seen for twenty years, until he turned up in Menelmacar.

OOC: This copy, his DNA is not exactly the same as Theallas’, he looks like Theallas, except for some minor differences, one, his hair is naturally silver instead of black, two, his face is sharper, more angular, three, he is shorter than Theallas by about six inches (Theallas is about 7’6”, this guy is about 7’0”) Yes, Siri now gets to deal with TWO versions of Theallas, if you can imagine, this version is even MORE insane than the one locked away in NY&&J

Okay, well, explanation, the first part of the first post, takes place before the issue in Rest and Relaxation, the rest happens during the trial thread and after.

It still doesn't explain how the clone Theallas got into the country, with his weapons, despite having long ago renounced citizenship...

This subplot cannot continue until I see something semi-viable in terms of how this was accomplished.

~Siri

OOC: That last post was what is called pulling my ass out of the fire (and keeping NY&J to not IGNORE me....)

Okay, for a nation that big, Menelmacar must have LONG borders. I mean LONG. I also doubt that Menelmacar can cover the borders to the point of being able to track some one, who is, a, trained in stealth, b, trained in insurgency, c, trying not to be seen, d, running for his life. Thus, he snuck across the border (Give me a map and I can tell you from what country he got in through), and went to the capital, avoiding major population centers, and major high-ways.

Good enough?

Menelmacar does have long borders. It also has many border defense posts, as EOTED, Lavenrunz, or just about anyone in Lodoss can confirm for you. Automated or minimal crew, yes, but there are sensors, and there are weapons. Once inside, Menelmacar is also an archipelago, and a very rugged one at that. To reach Vinyatirion from pretty well any direction, you'd have ahead of you at least fifteen hundred miles of sky-rending, nigh-impassable mountains, deep forests and jungles, vast tracts of ocean, and fairly frequent patrols by elements of the fleets.

There are other cities, sure, quite a great deal of them, and from there someone could catch a flight to the capital; but that would get him seen as often as coming in on a flight from outside, and so would rather defeat the purpose of crossing the border covertly.

~Siri

Okay, so change it, not the capital, how about some other city...
