The king of Royal Polynesia escorted his lustrous wife into the Ball Room and greeted the King of Genovia with a friendly handshake.
'It is good to see you my old friend' the two men smiled at each other and walked off toward the bar leaving the two women alone.
'This is going to be a long night isn't it?' The queen of Royal Polynesia smiled at the queen of Genovia.
'You know Anastasia,' she replied with a wicked smile, 'This could be just what we were both looking for!'
The women giggled at each other and headed off toward the corner of the ball room the hosted the food.
Across the floor the two men began discussing the latest developments of their countries
'I don't believe it you know Xavier!' The king of Genovia was glaring at the bar tender.
'What is that Jacob' smirked the king of Royal Polynesia.
'They've only gone and ran out of Vodka and Coke' Jacob looked horrified by this.

Am I correct to assume that this is open to everyone?

Yeah it is mate


Sorry about that changed the title to make it a little clearer

'They've only gone and ran out of Vodka and Coke' Jacob looked horrified by this.

Mortified by the lack of Vodka Jacob downed several shots of whiskey and began to relax with Xavier telling his usual poor jokes,

'Knock knock'

'Who’s there' replied Xavier

'King' Smirked Jacob

'King who?' Xavier prepared himself to fake laugh

'JOE king' Jacob burst into a fit of laughter so much he fell from his stool...twice!

The two queens began to pick at the buffet table full of Salmon, Caviar, Beef, Gammon and various other meats as well as a table full of chocolate and sweets.

’You know Ana’ Elizabeth, queen of Genovia giggled again, ‘Shall we skip the mains and hit desert?’

They both glanced at a bowl of hot chocolate surrounded by various jams and lying just to the left, a pile of plain Porfiter rolls.

'I think you read my mind, I've been watching those since I walked in' Anastasia giggled and both women headed toward the bowl with eager eyes.

Northampton, Imitora

The cool fall air was crisp, clean, and the turning of the leaves had become the new focus to the nation. But others had work to do, and despite the excellence of living in a nation that really did have four seasons, the beauty of fall had found blind eyes. President Courtney Rydell sighed has she signed off on more bills, looked over more legislation, and generally did the work that was always assumed of a President. And as she continued to work, she, like most professionals in the nation, wished for a break.

She was reading over yet another legislative act that was asking for more power in the Imitoran House of Speakers, which she wasn't going to sign off on. Still, she had to read it. It was at this point that the door to her office clicked open, and her Chief of Staff stepped in. "Uh, Madame President?"

"Yes, James?" she asked, not looking up from the sheaf of papers. "And I told you not to call me that anymore."

"Uh, sorry Madame, I mean, Courtney. But I was just looking over some of our incomming mail. We got a invitation, general diplomatic style. Halloween ball out in uh," he glanced down at the paper, "Genovia And Saen. No relations with the nation as of yet. Looks royal."

Courtney looked up from the papers. "And your suggesting that I go?"

"Yes, ma'am. You were saying you wanted more diplomatic relations with other nations, and you also need a vacation. Kill two birds with one stone?"

"Yeah, works for me," she replied, pushing the papers away. "When do I leave?"

"Your the President. Whenever you want."

Genovia And Saen

Courtney arrived with the usual lack of pomp. It was the standard Imitoran arrival, they were never huge fans of the fanfare that many nations all but demanded. She arrived at the ball room dressed conservatively for a costume party, a simple, black cocktail style dress with an open back. Her makeup was soft, enough to highlight the good and hide the bad, and she carried a small mardi gras mask in her otherwise uselessly small purse. Over shaddowing her was a single body gaurd from the ISS, his perfectly tailored wuit hiding the extra bulk from the kevlar vest he wore, and allowing no bulges from the Sig Sauer P226 in a shulder holster.

Courtney moved gracefully in the dress, the black matching stilletos laced up her toned thighs didn't hinder her at all. With a small smile, she moved towards the already arrived guests.

OOC: Sorry for a crap post, been busy, am busy, gonna be busy. Hopefully the next one will be better.

Anastasia turned, chocolate on her chin and a Profiter roll in her mouth to see the beautiful president glide into the room. With her mouth full she simply nudged Elizabeth.
Both women stood in awe and after a couple of moments of silence decided to make their way across the floor toward the woman.

Anastasia curtsied the woman thought she still had chocolate on her chin, Elizabeth however nodded her head simply and said,

’Welcome to our husbands ball.’ Both women smirked, ‘Whilst they discuss poltics we use the time to releave ourselves of their pain in the utter backside.’

Both women giggled and finished just in time for the two kings to walk up behind.

‘My dear welcome to the Genovian ball I am king Jacob of Genovia.’ He took the womans hand and kissed it gently.

‘And I am Xavier king of Royal Polynesia.’ Xavier simply bowed to the woman. ‘Please do come on in. What is your name my fair lady?’

The two kings escorted the young woman to the bar shortly followed by Elizabeth and Anastasia, who still had chocolate on her chin!


It's ok nice to have someone new;) .[/QUOTE]

Ana and Liz break off from their husbands and head back toward the table with the profiter rolls on. There were only half the profiter rolls left and half the table was covered in various Jams and chocolate but both women seemed careless.

'What did you think to that new lady?' Ana whispered.

'Who knows, seems important though not very dressed for the occasion,' Liz giggled to her self before devouring another profiter roll.

'Hmm I don't know she seems nice, A little stressed looking though.' Ana peered over her shoulder at the young woman now talking to the kings.

'Well I told you tonight was going to be fun' Liz replied missing her mouth a dropping chocolate onto the table and her cheek, 'Damn!'

'I know how did you miss!' retorted Ana

Courtney humored the two women, noting that, as expected, there was two cliques, the politicians and the socialites. These women were of the later, and Courtney, while humoring them, was of the former. She was polite enough, not mentioning the chocolate on the woman's chin, and noted their manerisms.

My dear welcome to the Genovian ball I am king Jacob of Genovia.
And I am Xavier king of Royal Polynesia. Please do come on in. What is your name my fair lady?

Courtney bowed slightly from the waist, accepting the kiss. "President Courtney Rydell, from Imitora, your highnesses." Her smile was polite and sincere, accented by the deep red lipstick. She followed the two men over to the bar, and ordered a bacardi Big Apple on the Rocks.

He body gaurd, noting the relative safety of the ball room for the moment, made his way quietly over to the buffett, and made a small plate of the beef and Salmon.

'My dear Rydell what a pleasure it is to have you here in Genovia.' Jacob lead the way to the bar once there order himself a glass of whisky. 'This ball, is for the majority a chance to exchange a few, erm, international relations'

'Jacob and I are both on a united front and have been close friends for many years and we hope,' Xavier smiled gently at Courtney, 'That you will become as much a friend as we are now.'

The two queens now happily satisfied with their "meal" head toward the bar where the husbands are sat.

'Time for some investigating' giggles Ana within ear shot of the womans body gaurd.

Both women pick up their ball gowns and glide across the floor, this time Ana has removed the chocolate on her chin and Liz managed to clean what mess she has made from her cheek.

Both women seat themselves near the woman and listen in on the conversation nodding every so often.

Conspicous only by his absence from his great friends ball, Matthew Ryan President of Auferstehn, sat outside; his wife besides him. They had avoided the glare of press, and landed in a private helicopter out the back of his old friends gardens.
Now, he faced the music for the first time since his new republic had gained its independence. This was it he thought time to go, he and his wife stood up almost as one and prepared to enter. He straightened the Chalk Grey suite he was wearing and loosened the red tie around his neck- after all he didnt want to look to up tight. He had passed on costume but was swearing down it was post modern dracula.... There they stood hand in hand waiting, gathering, collecting the strength... After all the last few days had tired Ryan far more than he imagined but now was his time

And Just then they were surrounded... The Press had caught them, hje grabbed his wifes hand and forced his way through the hounding pack up the steps and into the hall...

They paused...

"Good luck, babe.." his wife kissed his unshaven tired face, and in that instant he realised why he was here and the exhaustion that had taken hold of him over the last few days ebbed and he felt fully ready to take on the mantel of a world leader, like his father before him.

The doors of the ball room open and show a elegantly lit room with a glass dome showing the nights sparkeling stars.

Xavier stood and made his way across the floor leaving Rydell and Jacob to chat.

'Haha hello old friend' Xavier extended his hand to greet Matthew, 'has been far too long, I see you brough some friends,' Xavier nodded at the press behind him, 'Your country always caused a fuss over nothing.' Xavier laughed and welcomed both Matthew and his wife into the ball room. He lead matthew to Jacob and Rydell and pointed out Liz and Ana to Matthews wife.

'May I introduce to you Ms Rydell, President Matthew of Auferstehn, A very lively country seeing as they have just received their independence!'

"I wouldn't say indepence was nothing Xavier..." Ryan sighed, "It's certainly taken the wind out of my sails.... Jacob my old man, how are you? My god, it must be ten years.... You must excuse my attire friends, you know how it is when times are running faster than the wifes hands can go.... on the Iron that is, Rose come here" he kissed here, "Thank you".

He embraced her and whispered in her ear "The usual?"

"Yes, dear... and the Uni drinks for the other ladies..."

"Ok, What will it be Gents?"

Ryan felt back at home amongst his university friends once more...

Jacob and I are both on a united front and have been close friends for many years and we hope, that you will become as much a friend as we are now.

Courtney offered a polite smile, nodding.

"Historically speaking, the High Republic has been what many would consider issolationist. My predacesor, President Thomas Gibbson, was the first to make moves to make the naiton more open and diplomatic. I decided that, with my term, to continue those actions. Hence why I am here, opening up relations with other nations."

She took a quick pull from the drink, the sweet apple flavored rum sliding down easily.

'May I introduce to you Ms Rydell, President Matthew of Auferstehn, A very lively country seeing as they have just received their independence.

Courtney turned and eyed the new commer. "Well then, congratulations Mr. President. Courtney Rydell, Imitora. Pleased to meet you."

"Well then, congratulations Mr. President. Courtney Rydell, Imitora. Pleased to meet you."

He took her hand and kissed it gently, "The pleasure remains all mine Ms Rydell"

He turned gently away and addressed his wife behind him, he indicated her way "My wife, I'm sure will be delighted to have you over on a visitation once all has settled down, she deals with that. All, only of course if you wish...."

He tapped Xavier playfully "Now, where were we all those months ago, I believe we were discussing the drawbacks of monogamy?" He laughed, and for the first time in weeks he felt like he was able too laugh without caring what was too come....

Jacob and I are both on a united front and have been close friends for many years and we hope, that you will become as much a friend as we are now.

Courtney offered a polite smile, nodding.

'My dear Rydell I do appologise profusly but we are all university friends I hope that puts you off non' Xavier looked rather uncomfortable knowing poor Rydell knew no one here. 'I shall endevour to make you feel as much at home as possible.'

Xavier sat Ryan down and the friends began to discuss the latest events.

'Well Royal Polynesia has had it easy by the sounds of it, A very peaceful nation no wars in recent history' Xavier chuckles happily knowing of the turmoil both Genovia and Auferstehn have been through in the past years.

'Yes you have' Scowled Jacob, 'I regret to inform everyone that still Genovia is in the midst of a civil war! seems never ending!'

"Well then, congratulations Mr. President. Courtney Rydell, Imitora. Pleased to meet you."

He took her hand and kissed it gently, "The pleasure remains all mine Ms Rydell"

'You forget old friend my education lacks yours' laughs xavier 'not a clue what monogamy means'

The room fills with the pleasant sounds of the orchestra.

"Well I'm not explaining Xavier, ask your wife, she should know, you on the other hand..." He Laughed, " No, I jest you are an honest man Xavier, I wish I were as linear as yourself, Fancy a dance old man.... On second thoughts I dont think my friends would appreciate it..."

"Well I'm not explaining Xavier, ask your wife, she should know, you on the other hand..." He Laughed, " No, I jest you are an honest man Xavier, I wish I were as linear as yourself"

'Yes more honest than you' Xavier retorted before laughing. 'Why Ms. Rydell would you do me the honour of dancing with me?'

Xavier's wife seemed some what disgruntled he did not ask her and sat in a huff.

'Ryan will you and your wife join us?'

"If my dear Rose would accept, I shall...."

He approached, and she knew what he wanted. She took his hand and he kissed it gently, being the soft man he was, and loving his wife dearly, just as he touched her his life felt good again....
But he regained his armour and was again the worlds newest leader...

"If my dear Rose would accept, I shall...."

He approached, and she knew what he wanted. She took his hand and he kissed it gently, being the soft man he was, and loving his wife deary, just as he touched her his life felt good again....

Jacob, not the romantic type remain seated and muttered to himself

'Get a back bone' Before rolling his eyes

Courtney simply nodded at the starting of the music. She sipped her drink carefully, letting the smooth liquor slide down her throat. She watched as the other delegates went off to dance, and the Genovian king staying back. "Not much of a dancer?" she asked over the music.
