OOC: Only serious offers. Please keep any ah..... Bisexual/gay/lesbian etc flaming will be ignored, as will "I shall invade your country to stamp out all the bisexuals/gays/lesbians!!!!11111" though serious IC comments, regardless of if it's negative or not will be accepted (hey, you're welcome to an opinion! :wink: ).

NAME: Robert Fortier
AGE: 29
HEIGHT: 6'1"
GENDER: Male

Background: This enigmatic, quiet man is fairly a mystery. At the age of 18, he left college in his first semsester freshman year to join the ICMC. He worked his way through the ranks quickly, and after two years was a seargent. He prooved himself enough so that by teh age of 21, he was in the ICMCs First Special Operations Unit, Delta Unit (1st SOU-D). At 24, he was in the employment of the INSA, and worked as a deep cover operative. All files on Fortier between the age of 24 and 28 are classified. He left the agency at 28, and now works as the CEO of a supercorp, a company that specializes in Law, Stock, and Security. He is single, and sepite a relationship with one of the past presidents (before the conversion to the Speaker system), is compatable with just about anyone.

IC: Every one of the candidates so far, thank you. A reminder, everyone, gender doesn't matter, nor will material wealth or trappings of power (remember, she's leader of 1.7+ billion people, with another 800 mil or so under de factor rule). Please further note, that "finalists" might be required to go on dates, for Miss Halvent to judge their personality before a final decision is made. Please, everyone, put your best man or woman forward, they might just get to marry a President!

OOC: This sets up a whole RP possibility among the shortlisted candidates..... :wink:

OOC: Just Realized that the picture aint showing, so here ya go, This one should work. (http://www.studentstart.be/images/Clive%20Owen%20gd%2011.jpg)

IC:

A black car shot down the mostly open road into the Adejaani capitol. The engine screamed as the car, a convertable, slowed to meet the speed of the exit ramp, the engine unloading as the driver downshifted. The black Z4 3.0i slowed as it entered Ticonderoga city.

He followed the GPS system to his final destination, The Stamford Hotel. He slid out of the car, and pulled a duffle bag with him that was sitting in the passenger seat. He tossed the keys to the vallet attendant, and entered the hotel. He walked into the check in deck, and waited for a desk clerk.

He checked into his room, and hopped onto an elevator that would take him to his room. He dropped off teh duffle bag, and went back down to the lobby, where he had spied a bar. He walked in, sat, and ordered a Corona, in the bottle, and reclined slightly in the booth.
Adejaani
20-04-2004, 05:20
OOC: Just to explain, me and Imitora are having this "outside" the competition. :wink:

IC: 'Amanda Baines' stepped into the bar of the Stamford hotel and looked around. Instinctively, she scratched at her neck, which was itched before she forced herself to stop. In reality, she was Jade Halvent, President of Adejaani, out on a mission. Once her Secretary of Intelligence had found out Imitora's candidate coming here, she'd set out to find out what kind of a man he was. Although technically against the spirit of the competition, she'd disguise herself so not to appear like herself.....

Unfortunately, the disguise meant a fair amount of molded latex was now sticking to her, making her sweaty and itchy. Still, she had work to do, especially if this Fortier guy was going to be a potential husband. She wanted to learn more about him, in his 'natural element', so to speak.

'Baines' then crossed to the bar and ordered a carrot juice, looked at Fortier then winked at him seductively.

20-04-2004, 05:43
Fortier looked at the girl, and nodded. He walked over to the bar, sitting a seat down.

"Howdy," he said, smiling at her. He looked at the carrot juice, and chuckled. "A little late to ask if I can buy you a drink," he joked. He slid over a seat, and held his hand out. "Robert Fortier. From Imitora."
Adejaani
20-04-2004, 06:07
'Baines' shook the hand. "'Manda Baines. So what brings you here? Thought you Imitorans hated us folks here in Adejaani." She looked him over, sizing him up and smiling.
Imitora
20-04-2004, 06:18
"That was before the instalation of our new, user friendly government," he replied, jokeing. "We've never hated you guys, just needed a whipping boy is all," he finished, laughing. He took a sip of the light colored beer. "I'm jokeing, of course. I for one have never had a problem with Adejaani. Nice place."

He paused agian to take a sip from the beer. "Some sort of courtship thing for the president. Ya know anythgin about it?"
Adejaani
20-04-2004, 06:25
'Baines' hid her grimace and mouthful of profanity by taking a sip of her carrot juice and waving the bartender for another. "Oh, that thing about the President marrying is mostly a flap. Some say she's coldhearted and only doing this for publicity and politics."
Imitora
20-04-2004, 06:32
"My kinda girl," Fortier said, chuckling. "But enough about that, lets talk about you. What brings you to this little bar in this hotel?" He took another swig of the golden liquid, and he placed the close to empty bottle down. "What do you do here in Adejaani?"
Adejaani
20-04-2004, 06:39
'Baines' tried to laugh, but it came out a bit forced. "Me? I work for the government. A social worker, actually. I try to help the kids. How about you?"
Imitora
20-04-2004, 06:45
"Whatever suits me, pretty much. I work for a small law and stock firm in Imitora, offer private security and the like. After my term in the ICMC, I went back to school, got a law degree and my serries 7, and now I'm here. I make good money, my own hours, and I'm generally happy."
Adejaani
20-04-2004, 06:50
"I see....." Abby sipped at her drink. "But what makes you think you're right for President Halvent?"
Imitora
20-04-2004, 06:56
"Never said I was. Just like to see where I can get. But then again, who am I to say I am right for anyone? After all, its not my place to say who I am and am not right for. Its up to her to decide. I'm not gonna tell her she should marry me because I am right for her."

He placed his now empty bottle of Corona down, and signaled for another. "But then again, I also wonder if she is right for me. After all, I'm doing all of this on a request from my government. I'm more like a representative than a suitor. Of course, I would like to at least get to know her better. I think alot of these political marriages are bound for failure. It takes months, years, to be ready to marry someone. Love is not a simple, quick comming thing."
Adejaani
20-04-2004, 07:00
'Baines' raised her eyebrow. "Then why don't you go back home if it's a waste of time? Just apologise and say it was a mistake? Considering the poor relations between our two nations, it won't be that big a loss."
Imitora
20-04-2004, 07:07
"I never said it was a mistake, I simply noted that a marriage based on two weeks worth of dating is bound to fail. Now then, say a definite, single relationship before the marriage is different. If I end up dating Halvent, that would be a different situation. And who knows, one day we may possibly get married, that of course being the ideal finality in my book."

Robert took another sip of beer, and eyed her up. There was somethign odd about her, and his 6 years of INSA work tought him how to pick up on the subtle nuances of those in hiding or other information operatives. He had picked up on this, and was now tryign to figure out what was up.

Adejaani
20-04-2004, 07:24
"And nobody said marriage would be straight away. There would be at least 'some' time for the dating and everything." 'Baines' looked angrily at him, feeling ready to strike his name from the list.
Imitora
20-04-2004, 07:49
"Well thats good to know," Robert replied. He looked up at the TV. Appearntly the ISS was being acused of trying to cover somethign up between Griffin and a representative at teh one year party. A representative from Adejaani.

"Well, looks like we get along better than we thought," he said, chuckling. "So tell me about teh Halvent administration. Whats it like?"
Adejaani
20-04-2004, 07:56
"Different. Judge Bell's a good, kind man, but wasn't tough enough. At least the new administration's got purpose and an iron will and spine enough. 'Course, the Sha'Ra conflict is a strain, but more aggression and attack power as advocated by the new administration would bring more risk, but more decisive victory."
Imitora
20-04-2004, 08:06
"Yeah, thats what got the most criticism from the last administration back home. No balls and all. The guy was way to liberal." Robert took a swig of beer, and turned away from the TV. "But then again, being a liberal in Imitora is close enough to treason than actual treason."
Adejaani
20-04-2004, 08:15
"Really." 'Baines' smiled wickedly. "Well President Halvent's been on the record as saying her administration is going to go 'balls to the wall' on most issues."
Imitora
20-04-2004, 08:20
Robert supressed a smile. He picked up on Baines' smile, and noted it. He know understood. She was one of two things, a 'spy' to scope out the suitors, sent by Halvent, or some sort of government employee who was pro Bell, trying to find out how to get him back in office.

He picked the first option, and went with it. "Yeah, its getting her respect in Imitora, more so than Bell. So what do you think about her?"
Adejaani
20-04-2004, 08:24
"A cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey droppings." 'Baines' said with an evil smile. "She apparently makes a great lasagna though."
Imitora
20-04-2004, 19:27
Fortier laughed. "I like lasagna. Its good with a bit of parmisan." He smiled, "And of course, she is a girl, so dickless would be a very big plus. And I like a good ass." He laughed, and took a swig of beer. Many a similar thing had been said about him, though, back when he was in the INSA, and many worse.
Adejaani
21-04-2004, 00:19
"And what exactly do you mean 'a good ass', Mister Fortier?" 'Baines' winked at him seductively and waved the bartender for another drink.
Imitora
21-04-2004, 00:28
"You know, not to big, not to small. Just right," he replied. "Any idea of what she looks for in a guy?"
Adejaani
21-04-2004, 00:37
"Or a girl." 'Baines' replied with a wink. "Personality, mostly. Can't stand schmucks, for one. Or big headed corporate wankers."
Imitora
21-04-2004, 00:42
"Personality, gotcha," Robert replied, taking anotehr swig of beer. He had tons of personality, in fact, he had six, well seven icluding himself, people worth of personality. Of course, he didn't say that. "Well, I'm no corporate wanker, so Im sure I got that angle covered."
Adejaani
21-04-2004, 00:48
"Could've fooled me, Mister Fortier. A law and stock firm. Law degree, a Series 7, whatever that is. Work your own hours." 'Baines' ticked them off one finger at a time.
Imitora
21-04-2004, 00:54
"Now then, I never said I dont like to be well off. Law degree, law firm helps me pay off law school debts. Series 7 helps me do a bit of trading on the side so I dont have to go through a middle man. After all, they get 10% when your stocks go up, and that just sucks. I like to have money, don't get me wrong. I've been poor, and it sucks. And I dont plan on going back. This way, no matter what happens, I can have my cash, and not worry about how much I spend. Plus alot of the money goes to other investments, and private projects, the like," he said, putting down the bottle. "And it never hurts to know the law so you can get outa trouble if you break it."
Adejaani
21-04-2004, 01:28
"A real high flier then, on the up." 'Baines' smirked into her drink, having sort of made her point about him being a corporate wanker.
Crimmond
21-04-2004, 03:29
Virgil Hilts climbed out of the engine comaprtment of his plane and looked at the TV. "Still there is only three applicants known so far in the competition for Adejaani's President Halvent. One of the three is from the Crimmond Combine. Current bets are 12 to 1 against the Crimmond canidate in the Myer gambling industry. In other new-" Hilts wiped his hands off and muted the sound. "Holy crap... I have a decent shot at this. Maybe I should get my phone hooked up again..."

OOC: fancy bump.
Adejaani
21-04-2004, 03:53
OOC: Yeah. :? Actually, Crimmond, Samba, if you want to do this sort of "outside the game" RP, you're free to.

OOC: I still dont see how hes a corporate wanker. He has money, but thats different froom being a corporate wanker. At least he not a trust fund kid.

IC:

"You could say that. ICMC Military Pension is much, specially when you did covert ops. But hey, I live nice, I have good friends that dont come to me just for money, and I have fun." Robert smiled, and took a swig of beer.

IC: "And what does sir do for fun, exactly?"
Imitora
21-04-2004, 05:11
Robert held up the key to teh Z4. "One thing that the ICMC pension IS good for is a nice car. Military discount, got a 70,000AC car for 40,000. So I drive, and work on my car. Read alot too. Thats about it. Not much to do for an exmilitary type that isnt a merc, ya know?"
Adejaani
21-04-2004, 05:17
"Oh, I don't know." 'Baines' ordered a fruit cocktail from the bartender. "You could run your own business or set up a defense analyst agency or write a book about your exploits."
Imitora
21-04-2004, 05:36
Robert nodded. "I've thought about it, but authors don't get paid much at all, its acutally less than that of the ICMC, if you can believe it, and there are alraedy a ton of defense analyst agencies. The firm keeps me busy, but I have my own hours, so tis all good."

Robert took another swig, and switched the issue. "But what about you. What got you into social work?"
Adejaani
21-04-2004, 05:40
"The plight of the children. They're our future. The next generation of leaders, scientists, doctors, nurses, soldiers, sailors, pilots, firefighters and all that. They're a resource that we can't replace and we have to give them all a fighting chance so they can better our countries when they grow up."
Tarlachia
21-04-2004, 05:43
ooc: jeez...it's like a casual military cross-examination! :shock:
Imitora
21-04-2004, 05:46
Robert forced himself not to smile or laugh, or say his true feelings on teh matter. Mostly liberal drivel, give them all the same chance. But he wans't gonna go there.

"Makes sense," he said. "In Imitora, your born, and theres your chance right there," he said, looking up at the TV. News was slow. "But why government based, why not go into a private charity?"
Adejaani
21-04-2004, 05:53
OOC: Tarlachia, do you mind? :lol: Contribute a candidate or stay quiet, will you? :lol:

IC: "Because big business, or rather, any business, seeks to perpetually cycle itself for its own purpose. They usually rely on the kindness of strangers, namely donations. At least with the government sector, there's a guaranteed flow of funds and we at least get resources to do things instead of spending half our time begging for money. In government, it's 'only' a quarter of the time spent begging for money." 'Baines' laughed. "'Course, having a couple of friends who control the money flow really helps a lot."
Imitora
21-04-2004, 05:59
"But shouldn't the tax payers have a say in where the money goes? I mean, its not really charity or social work if your taking funds that are present. I mean, donating it to a worthy cause is nice, but shouldn't the idea be that the people themselves give from teh goodness of their hearts? En auner es anuer? I dunno, I guess growing up where handouts are seen as I sign of weakness, it kinda gets engraved in you that work is the way forward." Robert sighed slightly.
Adejaani
21-04-2004, 06:14
"Yes and the taxpayers can contribute and they do, but they can't exactly diagnose and find where the money's needed the most. The government pays for the minimum 'survival' care, which is basically food, shelter, education, healthcare etc and then dribble any leftover money back in, in the form of say, trips to theme parks or extra presents at Christmas. The citizenry's contributions are the 'luxury' stuff like getting them computer games or bicycles and stuff."

"Seven and counting," Robert beamed. It was almost a bragging right that Imitora had been in seven wars, and won every single one of them. "Of course, based on what contacts have told me, you're getting ready for another, at least thats how I see it."
Adejaani
21-04-2004, 06:42
"Very. The Sha'Ra conflict's going to be painful, but we won the last one. The people took heart and stiffened their upper lips and we won. I was younger when we first got into the conflict, but people look with pride at the brave men and women who sailed to a far off point in the galaxy....." 'Baines' teared up slightly but brushed it aside.

"They say Jain Granger, that's the Admiral in charge of the Space Forces, she's got a higher popularity than President Halvent. Except she doesn't want to leave the service, not now, not ever."

"Yeah, but special operations? I've read up on the Sha'Ra, files I got from yours and Sambazie computer systems. From what I've read, these aren't where you use SF. And I've been checking in, almost a full quarter of the 22nd SOTF were leaving Imitora when I left. Now then, I know that military special forces training is important, hell I was one of the real 'men in black', but on this level?"

Of course, he knew the real purpose for the 22nd SOTF was to send them to train as well. And with Zeta company training in Imitora, and Eta Company on their way to Adejaani, he knew somthing was up. But that was a check for another time.

"So whats your view on the conflict? Personel, of course."
Adejaani
21-04-2004, 07:51
'Baines' raised an eyebrow. "I don't know what SF is, apart from 'Science Fiction'. However, I think the conflict's a necessity. Adejaani, as a nation and as a people, need a conflict to strengthen our souls and resolve. Besides, there's a billion and some people on Magnia and dozens of millions more on Siesana, so we have to protect them, in addition to fighting the war."
Imitora
21-04-2004, 07:56
"SF, Special Forces, Covert Operations, Special Ops, Elites, Black Work, the like. And no offense intended, but comming from a Marine from a nation that thrives on the general idea and principality of war, there are many a better way to strengthen the resolve of the people other than war." Fortier took a swig of teh close to empty bottle, getting a look in his eye that seemed distant, almost empty, as if everythign he was drained out of him.

"But thats another story. Maybe for another time."

"And this interests me how? Trying to sell the people of Adejaani onto the Imitoran way of life, one attractive lady at a time?"
Imitora
21-04-2004, 08:28
"Hey, I'm just giving you my side of the story. Not trying to sell anyone. If they wanted to sell you all, they would have sent a recruiter." He put doen the beer, and pulled out his wallet, tossing down enough to cover his drinks and hers. "So got any plans for the night?"
Adejaani
21-04-2004, 08:35
"Ah, a gentleman." 'Baines' smiled slightly, adjusted her opinion of Fortier and left a small tip. "No, not really. Guess it'd be home in front of the TV eating a sandwich."
Imitora
21-04-2004, 14:30
"Well, you live here, and I don't, and I'm looking for a good place to go out for dinner. Maybe you could show me a decent place, my treat?" he asked, pulling the vallet card from his wallet.
Adejaani
22-04-2004, 00:20
"Not exactly a gourmet, but you are standing next to one of the best multi-culture restraunts in Adejaani." 'Baines' pointed to a very plush set of wooden doors trimmed in gold, bearing the sign Allez Cuisine.
Imitora
22-04-2004, 02:06
"Well then Ms. Baines, lead the way," Robert said, gesturing towards the resteraunt.
Adejaani
22-04-2004, 03:37
'Baines' smiled and led the way, intentionally wiggling her behind so Fortier could get a better look, then winked at him. The Maitre D', a man named Kaga, bowed extravagantly and led them to a small booth in the corner lit by candles and handed over two menus.

"Please, feel free to look over the menu and order when you're ready." Kaga bowed and stepped back a bit. 'Baines' picked up her menu and started reading.

OOC: Kaga's pic :D :P (http://home.iprimus.com.au/quincyw/kaga.jpg) Cookie to whoever knows who the guy in the outfit is from and the significance of the restraunt's name. :P
Tarlachia
22-04-2004, 04:29
OOC: That's the guy from "Iron Chef:, the host guy...can't spell nor pronounce his name lol. And I know this b/c my stepdad is always watching that show (he's a chef, figures...). As for the restaurant, I'm drawing a blank...however, here's a guess: It's the restaurant where the above mentioned guy works at??
Adejaani
22-04-2004, 04:49
OOC: *Hands Tarlachia a cookie* :D

Takehashi Kaga, Chairman of the Gourmet Academy, which serves as the backdrop of, as he noted, Iron Chef. :D "Allez Cuisine" (in his weird Japanese pronounciation), is what Kaga says and is, apparently, French for "Start Cooking".

*Hands Tarlachia another cookie* :D Maybe I should do an Iron Chef tournament in NS. Would prove fun! :shock: :D
Imitora
22-04-2004, 04:51
OOC: Its French for Go Food, aka Fast Food.

IC:

Fortier flipped through the menu. He let his eyes slide over the lists, and looked at Baines. "Would you like to order"
Tarlachia
22-04-2004, 05:10
OOC: *munches on cookies* Thanky-much! ...*shuts up now and continues to read*
Adejaani
22-04-2004, 05:14
OOC: I really really really should make an "Iron Chef" competition for NS. I really should. :shock: I'll do it tomorrow. :P

IC: "Guess so. This menu is really extensive though. And you need to be careful and read the description carefully." 'Baines' winked and waved Kaga back over. "You order first, I'll look for a little bit longer."
The Islands of Dilmun
22-04-2004, 05:15
OOC: Okay, I am COMPLETELY lost here. What does this RP have to do with this competition? Because I think that the fact it now is only an RP, that no one wants to interuppt with an application. I know I'm uncomfortable with just posting without RPing anything.

Oh, and an Iron Chef RP was tried once and failed. Terribly... cooking didn't seem to be a good RP idea at the time.

EDIT: Wrong nation. This is Crimmond.
Adejaani
22-04-2004, 05:33
OOC: Actually..... I have no idea why I'm just RPing with Imitora on this. I should be RPing with everyone else..... :?

As for the "Iron Chef", dunno. I might do something else instead of a cooking challenge.....
Imitora
22-04-2004, 05:43
Fortier eyed teh menu, and started off light. "An order of shrimp rolls and an order fo the California rolls. And I'll have a glass of," he perused the menu, "one of the '98 Merlots. What do you recomend?"
Imitora

22-04-2004, 05:57
Kaga smiled. "Try the Japanese Sake."

'Baines' rolled her eyes slightly and smiled at Kaga. "I'll just have a green tea, Magnian beef rump steak, hasperat and haggis please."
Imitora
22-04-2004, 06:04
Fortier nodded. "Sake it is. For the main course, I'll have the cornbeef and cabbage, side of boiled carrots, and ya know waht, cancel the Sake. I'll take a Guiness. Stout."
Crimmond
22-04-2004, 06:10
OOC: I guess Imi was the only one who had his char get off their ass to fly to your nation. At the moment, the rest have no insentive to do anything but their daily routine.
Adejaani
22-04-2004, 06:14
OOC: True, Crimmond. This was mostly to pass the time while I waited for more candidates. Haven't forgotten the others, though.

IC: Kaga nodded and walked off, while 'Baines' looked at Fortier. "That's a bit conservative, I thought you'd try something more exotic."
Imitora
22-04-2004, 06:59
"Eh, not really in teh mood for exotic, more in the mood for good food, ya know? Anyways, I'll see about somethign special when the desert tray rolls around." Fortier smiled lightly as tehy brought out the pint of the dark beer. It looked thick enough to float a small navy. "Now were talkin," he said.
Adejaani
22-04-2004, 07:37
'Baines' shrugged and sipped her tea. "Don't get what the fascination is with alcohol. Tends to cause more problems than it solves."
Imitora
22-04-2004, 18:15
"True," Fortier said, lifting the large glass towards Baines in a mock toast, "but this is no mere beer. Guiness is the drink of the gods. And all is good in moderation."
Adejaani
23-04-2004, 00:26
'Baines' snorted and saluted back with her tea. "Ah, here comes the food." A waiter deftly handled all the dishes at once and deposited them on the table and left. "Let's see if you like Adejaani cuisine."
Imitora
23-04-2004, 03:53
Fortier nodded, and picked up his knife. he deftly handled it, almost as if the meet was still alive and he was going to kill it stealthily. He twirlled the knife around, holding it properly, and took a slice out of the meet, holdign it with his fork.

He then picked up apiece of cabbage with the fork, till holding the piece of meet, and took a bite. He chewed, slowly, then swallowd. "Pretty good stuff," he replied. He then took a piece of sushi, and poping it into his mouth with the chopsticks, and nodded.
Adejaani
23-04-2004, 04:30
OOC: Immy is exempt from this as his candidate is already here. And I'm going to break the laws of physics a bit. The "assistant" is Halvent, in disguise. But she'll be dealing with all the candidates at the same time, don't ask how that happens. It's just to speed the RP up.

IC: Message to the candidates

Please make your journey to Adejaani, where you will be met by an assistant, who will basically be happy to answer any questions you might have and to make sure your stay is comfortable until President Halvent is ready to see you.

===============================================

{RP- Imitora}

"Agreed." 'Baines' whispered, her face flushed and holding her ears. "Hasperat is good, but spicy as hell."
Imitora
23-04-2004, 04:45
Fortier chuckled, and smiled. "Looks like that. I'd offer you some water, but that doesn't help with spicy foods. Waiter?" he asked, gestruing to the waiter standing not to far away. "Can we have a glass of milk, please?"
Adejaani
23-04-2004, 05:14
'Baines' waved the waiter away. "Nah. Green tea does the trick. I'm very partial to spicy foods. I can also whip up a pretty mean Laksa or a Tom Yum Gon soup which is about the same as the Hasperat." 'Baines sipped at her tea and soon her color returned to normal. "Tell me, Mister Fortier..... Is this a date?"
Imitora
23-04-2004, 05:32
Roebrt nodded to the tea solution. "Well, in the general sense, yes it is. I am treating you to dinner, which is one of hte many facets of a date. So yes, I do believe this is a date."
Adejaani
23-04-2004, 05:55
"And..... Why me? Why pick me, of all the women who were in the bar?"
Imitora
23-04-2004, 06:04
"I believe," Fortier started, "the question should be why pick me. After all, you were the one who initiated the meet," he countered. "I was just sittin all by my lonesome when you came in and started winking," Fortier added, smiling.
Adejaani
23-04-2004, 06:23
'Baines' shrugged and smiled, cutting up some steak. "I could have had a nervous twitch, for all you know."
Crimmond
23-04-2004, 08:13
Virgil Hilts read the message and looks at the plane. "Damn. I wanted to start on the oil tank today...." He shrugs and heads out, locking the hanger, and heads to his mono-cycle.

A few hours later, Virgil rides the cycle into Gdansk, the only way in or out of the nation for civilians. A brief argument over seats and he's off, sitting on an aisle seat in coach. "I just had to have the window seat. First Class wasn't good enough." It was going to be a long flight....
Imitora
23-04-2004, 08:53
Robert laughed. "Well, I'm no expert, but I think I know enough to know the difference between a nervous twitch and a wink,"he joked. "In a wink, theres more movement in the upper cheek, and no head move. In a twitch, theres more movement in the lower neck, and the eye closes, but doesn't wink."
Adejaani
23-04-2004, 10:13
{RP- Imitora}

"I see....." 'Baines' winked, then brought her foot up and gently tickled Fortier's leg with it. "So was that a wink or a nervous twitch, hmm?"

===============================================

{RP- Crimmond}

Sarah Jade Halvent, President of Adejaani scratched at her chin, a little uncomfortably hot under the layer of latex on her face. Under the alias and disguise of 'Jamie Hayes', it was Halvent's way of scoping out the Crimmond delegate, a man named Virgil Hilts without him being on guard. 'Hayes' waited a little impatiently and fidgeted, ignoring the looks from the hired limo driver next to her.

OOC: Picture of Halvent disguised as Hayes (http://home.iprimus.com.au/quincyw/hayes.jpg)
Imitora
23-04-2004, 16:14
Fortier simply smiled. He took another bite of the beef, and took a sip of the Guiness. "That was a wink," he said, gesturing to her eye, "and that was intentional," he said, signaling to her foot on his leg. He winked, and offered a charming, innocent smile.
Crimmond
23-04-2004, 17:33
OOC: I have a solution: Assume you've not broken physics, but just 'bent' time as only able to in RP. My meeting starts after Imi's and whoever's next starts after mine. We just RP them at the same time.

IC: Virgil stepped off the boarding ramp and looked around. He was wearing exactly the same outfit as in his picture, to make it easier to spot him. After not finding his luggage, he sighed. "Not again..." A short walk to lost luggage claim... "Hey, you lost my luggage. Grey duffel bag, tagged to Virgil Hilts." The person behind the counter nodded. "Okay... has your flight arrived yet mister Hilts?" Virigil blinked. "Uh, no... I'm having an out-of-body experiece, now where's my bag?" She looked confused, as mostpeople who asked questions like that do, "ID, please. Okay, we just got the bag."

He takes it and walks off. "'Has my flight arrived yet?'" he repeats, smirking. He head down to the main lobby and spots limos outside. He, of course, heads that way and looks up and down the row, looking for a sign or something.
Imitora
23-04-2004, 17:36
"Okay... has your flight arrived yet mister Hilts?"

Valient
24-04-2004, 05:54
After a long and uneventful flight on Air Force One, Valient landed at the VDRA airport and exited the cumbersome aeroplane.

He was still clutching the memo in his hand as he waited for his someone from the ruling government to acknowledge his presence and pick him up.

He tugged at his tie... he was nervous, yet slightly anticipatory.
Crimmond
24-04-2004, 06:31

http://eyeofthetiger.narod.ru/roc303.jpg

IC: Cosmo Spear got the message from the Mikatopian government. Apprently the leader of Adejaani was looking for a partner.

Cosmo was an actor in Mikatopia, and a damn good one too. He appeared in many a government propaganda film and had recived countless praise. Not only that, but he was also a member of Mikatopia's Royal Guard, an esteemed postion, plus he was lead singer in a rock band, The Wrath Of The Badger.

Two hours after getting the message he was flown off to Adejaani. His application had been sent three days in advance. Whatever the government wanted, the government got.
------------------------------------------------------
Arriving at the airport, Cosmo looked for the "assistant" that would be atending to him...
Valient
24-04-2004, 06:58
Valient walked up to Cosmo Spear and introduced himself.

"Hello, Alexander Valient. I assume that you are here for the... contest?"
Adejaani
24-04-2004, 12:51
OOC: Is fine. I'm not going to rush anyone into RPing this quickly.

However, please note that this counts as the elimination process, so you better please! :wink:

New applicants will no longer be accepted. However, Resi and Tarlachia may still submit their candidates as they 'reserved' a place earlier.

===============================================

{RP- Crimmond}

'Hayes' muttered show time to herself and stepped forward. "Good morning, welcome to Adejaani, Mister Hilts. I'm Jamie Hayes, I'll be your 'assistant' during your stay here. Basically a chaperone, getting to know you and your needs. Any questions before we begin?"

===============================================

{RP- Imitora}

'Baines' decided to take a different approach. "Want kids?"

===============================================

{RP- Valient/Mikatopia}

A man in a light grey suit stepped forward to meet the two. "Excuse me, gentlemen. There are official cars waiting for you, where you'll meet with your assistant. They're just outside. Please, come with me."
Mikatopia
24-04-2004, 20:08
Cosmo aknowlaged Valient with a smile. Then the man came up and asked the two men to please follow him. On the way, Cosmo talked to Valient about politics, favorite movies, and places they had gone.

Finally they stopped in front of the assisant.
Crimmond
25-04-2004, 02:58
Virgil looked over at the woman. "Uh, hi. I have a comment before the questions. I've had emergency rations better than the crap they gave us on that flight. Now, when am I scheduled to meet your president? So I know how much time I have."

OOC: Going out of town again all day sunday. Ugh. Not much RP this weekend.
Adejaani
25-04-2004, 07:00
{RP- Crimmond}

"Well, most of the senior government of Adejaani is tied up with talks or coordinating the conflict against the Sha'Ra. You won't meet President Halvent for a long time yet, this sort of, well, 'me and you' time is to get you settled and comfortable." 'Hayes' smiled.

===============================================

{RP- Mikatopia/Valient}

The grey suit nodded. "Mister Spear, you're the limo on the right, please. Mister Valient, the limo on the left, please."
Crimmond
25-04-2004, 07:09
Virgil nodded. He seemed slightly annoyed. "I thought when I was invited, it was because she wanted to meet me as soon as possible." He sighs. "Well, I guess dealing with you is better than some clerk." The way he said it, it was unclear if it was an insult, a compliment or both. He motions to the car. "No sense in wasting valuable time."

25-04-2004, 11:06
Ribert laughed. "I dont think the world could suruvuve another me," he joked. He paused, took a sip of beer, and continued. "Yeah, I would. Maybe not right this second, but eventually, I'd like to have a kid or two. A son so I could cronicle all the stupid stuff I've done and teach him not to do it, and a daughter, so I can carry on the tradition of fathers scaring all that is good and holy out possible suitors. I know it was done enough to me," he said, chuckling.

OOC: Adj, sorry it took me so long to respond, had to deal with family, girlfriend, and Secret Service agents all weekend.
Adejaani
25-04-2004, 11:12
OOC: It's fine, everyone, really. I don't care if you don't respond immediately. I would like a fairly rapid response, but I understand real life issues and stuff. Please, don't sweat no responses. :wink:

Magnus Valerius: Unfortunately, the application process is now closed. Sorry. :(

===============================================

{RP- Imitora}

"Then I'll make sure your name is down for 'father of the year'." 'Baines' jested. "Tell me everything interesting in your life that's happened so far. Saved any orphans from burning buildings or liberated a country singlehandedly whilst in the service of the ICMC?"
Imitora
25-04-2004, 11:37
OOC: Sorry to ditch on you like this Adj, but this is gonna be my last post. I should have some good RP inme tommorow night, but I have a previous obligation in my bed... :twisted:

IC:
"Well, I did some, quote unquote, heroic stuff. But on a different level. I started off early. Two weeks outa MOS training, I was off to some God forsaken jungle in Jarlssburg acting as a support force for a Spec Ops unit on a rescue. This is where I decided I wanted to go carreer military, and turned down the college offer."

He stopped, and looked off for a second, beofre continuing. "As a regular in the ICMC, I really didn't do much in the way of FNW nightime news, no orphan resuces, or the like. Sure, you could say I went the whole, liberation, route. I was involved in three wars straight off. Markov, G-Corp, and another war that never really made it past a landing force. After that, I managed to get into the 1st Special Operations Unit, Delta, or 1st SOU-D."

He stopped. He had to think exactly what he did and didn't have the ability to say, before speaking. "Almost everythgin I did in the SOU is classified. I'm sure it'll come out if I do end up being picked by Halvent, after all, opponents just love to fig up the military files. I can tell you I have done many a thing that is less than...moral, to say. Of course, Imitora never has and never will follow the rules of the Geneva convention or teh rules of war or what not, but in teh 1st, we did things that most nations would go to war over. But everythgin we did, we did for a purpose. Everyone we killed was a bad person. Everything we did, we did so that people would be alive in order to adopt orphans."

"Did I liberate any countries? No, but I killed many people that would prevent oppresed from being liberated. One of the tenants of the 1st SOU is that everythgin we do, we believe in whole heartedly. Every time I pulled that trigger, weather it was in Markov, Larkinia, Iansisle, Sambizie, G-Corp, anywhere, I did it so that, the innocent would be forever safe."

"And tehn the exciting part ends. I left the ICMC, and sereved breifly in the INSA as a low level anylyst, nothing big. I went to school, got a law degeree, doctorate in Political Science with a Foriegn Affairs focus. got my Series 7, then ended up at the head of my small, private firm, upholding justice for the oppressed and needy," he finished.

Of course, upholding justice really meant Live Wire, the 'ultra classified' privately funded counter terrorist and hostage rescue unit, who collected intell, took action, and generaly made sure that small, tinpot dictators and there terrorist croonies stayed quiet.

"And thats my life story. Nothing insanely heroic, I know, but after all, most heroes come home in a box. And I dont look good in mahgony."

"In other words, you lived a very boring life." 'Baines' smiled sardonically and finished off her steak.

"An insanely boring life, as a journalist, then social worker." 'Baines' sipped at her tea.

"Best kind of job there is, one that pays the bills when ya need them to," Robert replied. He took a sip of Guiness to wash down the last of the beef, and dabbed the napkin on his lips. "Almsot as good as mom's" he said, leaning back slightly in the booth.

"Oh Crap!" Were the first two words from Natalia's mouth as she read the invitation to Adejaani. "This is nearly two days old", she barked at a staff member as she hurried through the halls of the palace. "OK, pull yourself together", she stated to herself. It was an unusual situation for to be in...being late and all. But she managed to get herself together and proceeded to her father's ship, high above the nation.

While aboard her father's ship, Natalia had learned of her father's recall to Siesana. Mabey now she could get some "private" time without her father or his men looking after her. But she has grown use to the situation, after all her father is a respected Lordship. And is because of respect...er...fear, of her father that Natalia hasen't been too successful in the dating seen. Every man in Sambizie knows full aware the risk of crossing paths with Lord Tal'had...

------------------------------+---------------------
Hours Later....

A slick black shuttle touches down on the designated pad within Adejaani. As the doos open and the ramp extends downward, Natalia is instantly flanked by 6 Sambizie Legions, (Her father's Elite). "That must be our escort over there", she states while pointing in the general direction...

A nod is given. "I don't really mind what I eat much. Hell, for the past six weeks I've been living on rations. Spent too much on my plane, I guess..." He shrugs. "A change of food would be nice though." So far Virgil seemed to either be naturally distant or had jet lag. He sighs. "And don't call me Mister Hilts. Virgil or my old call sign, Storrish." He pauses, presumably waiting for the question everyone asked.
