A Diplomatic Assembly (OPEN RP)

Snake Eaters

Lord Barbarossa sat at his desk, reading through his papers one last time before the assembly began. His wife came through the ornate double doors, and placed her soft hands on his shoulders, trying to kneed some of the tension out of his shoulders,"Relax. Everything is going to go great"

"I hope so, Sara. I hope so"

She went round to the other side of him, and knelt,"I know you are nervous. Snake Eaters' has always been fairly isolantionist... but at least you have the vision to know we must break out of this"

He smiled. She always knew how to calm him down,"Come on, they'll be here in a minute"

He stood up, taking his jacket off the hanger at the end of the room. Grey Armani... he loved it, and it complemented his cool grey eyes, and his dark hair. Barbarossa had been tempered as a young man by the fires of war, and that insight was unique in the history of Snake Eaters' Presidents. Now, he was a politician... and one who had started to bring Snake Eaters' out of it's isolation. First had been his alliance with the The Queendom of Kaymiril, and The Eternal Domain of Warhaven. No word yet from The Empire of Balrogga. He smoothed the creases from his suit, checked his shoes were laced correctly, and then took his wifes arm, before leading her down the grand staircase towards the ballroom.

The assembly of the diplomats was to take place in his own house, mostly in the ballroom, but almost all of the downstairs was open to them. Only the upstairs was barred to the guests. The front door was guarded by the elite members of the Pretorian Guard, who could eliminate any threat faster than than most people could even recognize it.

He checked himself one more time, straightened his tie, and waited.

Crown Princess Annastrianna d' Maril's aide, Sojhonn, entered her office with a bow.

"Xas, Sojhonn?" (Yes, Sojhonn?)

"Qu'essan, dos inbal biu alissem ulu natha talthalra wun l' phreng d' Nindyn Vel'uss Cal Cahlinden." (Princess, you have an invitation to a meeting in Snake Eaters.)

"Ja'hai lil alissem, Sojhonn." (Accept the invitation, Sojhonn)

Now
Glider on her shoulder, Anna walked the remaining distance to the door, presenting her invitation to the Praetorian Guards at the door.

The guard shot a swift look at the princess, and nodded,"Welcome to Snake Eaters' your Highness. Please continue"

Anna nods at the guard, then makes her way in.

Barbarossa looked up, and smiled. He knew this woman,"Your Highness, I am honoured that you chose to join us. Let me introduce my wife, Sara"
Kaymiril
08-05-2005, 16:35
"Gre'as'anto lu' verve dro, Lord Barbarossa, Lady Sara," she said, in the formal Kaymirilian greeting.
She then looked back at Barbarossa and smiled.
"It has been a long time."
Snake Eaters

It has been too long. How are things in Kaymiril? And also, do you have word of Colonel Cougar and Rhenmet?
Kaymiril
08-05-2005, 16:41
My nation is doing well, as are your Colonel and his wife...that reminds me, there is something I will wish to speak to you about after this meeting.

How has the Snake Empire fared?
Snake Eaters
08-05-2005, 16:42
We have gone from strength to strength these past years... but only now do I see fit to bring us out of our seclusion truly
Kaymiril

Anna nods. "A process I hope to complete in Kaymiril during my reign."
Snake Eaters
08-05-2005, 16:46
He nodded, and then looked around worriedly,"I wonder how many will turn up at this event"
Kaymiril
08-05-2005, 16:48
"A few, perhaps, as this is your first diplomatic assembly. Less stressful, in all honesty."
Snake Eaters

Maybe so... maybe so

The Undersecretary to the Emperor of The Iron Fish enters the house with a swish of his cape and a slight scowl on his face, flanked by two IIA (Iron Intelligence Agency) strikeforce members.

The Emperor himself was supposed to attended this...function, but has instead sent him. He disliked such political meetings but The Emperor had been quite insistant that he went. And besides, The Iron Fish had some things to discuss with Lord Barbarossa, namely The Iron Fish's space program.

Looking up he notices Princess Anna and Lord Barbarossa in conversation.

"Good Evening."

"Good Evening... you look as if you don't want to be here"
The Iron Fish
09-05-2005, 22:58
"Oh, I do Lord. I do. I just have a few things on my mind. I am, of course, honoured to be here."

With that The Undersecretary takes a seat in the corner.

OOC:

Oh dear. I have to actually go now.

Barbarossa took a drink from the table, and handed it to the Undersecretary,"you look as if you could do with this. Let me introduce you to my wife, Sara, and Crown Princess Annastria D'Maril. Now, I understand you wish to talk about our recent offer of spacefaring craft?"
