Hi, sorry about the pervious interruption, this leaves off from the spot where Queen Romalia announces her husband.

"Hello everyone," said Queen Romalia, "we are proud to announce the changing of our flag to something more sea-faring-y. We also changed our national animal to the flying fish. In light of this, the chefs are putting out flying-fish-sticks for the children. Thank you!"

She kisses her new fiance.

"What do you say to our Invitation?"

OOC:
I guess I'll RP my gift again.

IC:
President Karm Messner walks up to the happy couple and grins. "Seeing as how many other nations are bringing you gifts, I will add my nation's to their's." From a locked box he pulls out a incredible goblet. The goblet is made of gold, but the shining metal can hardly be seen from beneath the massive amounts of diamonds that cover the cup. "This is a goblet my nations founders brought with them from the Old Land. There is a legend that anyone who drinks from it will have great luck. Over the years this legend has seemed to be true." Karm pauses. "I have also taken the liberty of giving you my own personnel gift. I have bought the both of you an estate in the heartland of my nation. The house is on a beatiful 45 acre property and is built in our nations traditional style. As an added bonus, I know the hunting is very good around there, it's where I grew up!"

"On behalf of the United Socialist States of Hallad, we have brought you a necklace of the finest quality." Derik Connolly said as he walked up to the Queen. In his righ hand was a briefcase with the Halladi Socialist Party's seal. He opened it as he kneeled before her. In a glass case was a diamond and white gold necklace. "I hope it is to your liking, milady."

OOC:
Wow, you eat your national animal? Okay... fine with me!
IC:
Karm grins as the fish sticks go by. He knows that they are for the children, but he grabs one anyways. A little girl looks at him indignantly
and says, "Hey, those are for us!" The President grins, "What, I'm a kid!" "No you're not!" "Are not!" "Am too!" The arguement goes on light heartedly and Karm thinks, "I've always loved kids. And besides, these fish sticks are good!"

GREENHOME:

"Thank you for the goblet! It's so pretty! Look, Micheal,"

She hands the goblet to Kingsly[

"And I think Micheal would love to hunt in the new estate, isn't that right?"

"Of course, Rachel."

HALLAD:

"Wow... that's amazing... did you know there are absolutely no pearls in TBD? This is worth millions upon millions of Burns! This is the most pretty... thank you!"

"Really Rachel, no pearls? If I had know that I could have gotten you something else... Oh well. Micheal, if you'd like I can come down to the estate when you visit it and show you some good hunting spots."

"None at all, Karm. The waters are either too hot or too cold."

KINGSLY: "Really, Mr. Messner? That would be great. I recieved a Ratio Ultimate sniper rifle from Rachel, a bit of overkill but it gets the job done."

"Actually, there are very few in Hallad as well, we only have about a mile of coast line."

Whoops, double post

"A sniper rifle eh, Mr. Kingsly? I suppose it works. I use a 1864 Colt Special Musket. A good gun, if a little old."

"Mr. Connolly, only one mile? Wow, I couldn't imagine a landlocked nations, the sea is such an important part of our nation's history. But I'm sure you don't want to here about that. So, what's the next course?"

"Queen Romalia, I would like to invite you and your betrothed to the Launching of the Pacifica, over Picon. This is the 12th and last battlestar to be built for our fleet. The event is taking place in honor of our population reaching 500 million."

"I would also like to invite the other leaders attending this event to our momentus occasion."

Goronkoth:
"Wow, umm I guess I would be interested in coming... Just what is a battlestar?"

OOC:
I've got to go. Cya.

I'm just going to mention this because I'm a nitpicker. If you're basing DEFCON system on the U.S.'s DEFCON system, DEFCON 5 is the lowest and DEFCON 1 is the highest, contrary to popular belief.... Also, DEFCON 1 is when you are actually under attack..

Greenhope:

"Well, we arn't really land locked, our allies in our region allow us to pass through freely. Our economies are practically merged."

"Are the currencies of you and your allies the same?"

"No. We respect their soveirgnty, they want their own currency so we are in no position to force them into anything."

"Our Region is under one curency, the Daktari. This is to facilitate transregional trading."

The God Emperor Dak I, after leaving the party early, realized two things

1. he left his sabre at the check in.
2. He forgot to offer a gift.

eager to correct these mistakes, he returns to the state dinner, and apologized for his late return.

The Admiral walks up to the Queen's father and hands him a box. "This is a cerimonial Horizon Island Marines sword with a special touch, it is crafted from 24k gold, and encrusted with jewels. Just a small gift from my nation to you."

Meanwhile, a special forces Major walks up to Micheal. "Sir, I served with your sister on the operation she passed away in, I'd like to present you with a gift." He handed a beat-up rifle case to Micheal. "This was your sister's, she was carrying it when she was killed, the team saved it from being returned to the armoury." Micheal opened the case to find a Sniper Rifle, known as the SPR (Special Purpose Rifle) or Mk12 Mod 0 (http://reichnation.com/uploads/mk12mod0.jpg). Choked up, Micheal replied, "Thank You Major, but to save it from the armoury, you would have had to pay for it?" "Yes sir." Micheal shook the Major's hand, and thanked him again. "Also sir, we found a photo of her from training, here." He handed him a photo, and left. (http://reichnation.com/uploads/mp5.jpg) Micheal turned back to his future wife.

OOC: I can provide added security to the event. Naval Special Forces are already gaurding the Admirals Helicopter, more can be sent along with Marines and Army Rangers.

Communist Rule:
"We actually just based the DEFCON system because it's cool :)."

Goronkoth:
"We would love to attend! Thank you."

Goronkoth: "is there place on you battlestar for me and an aide?? no dakaran has ever been in space"


To the soon to be married: "The Holy empire cannot afford expensive weapons or jewelry, but maybe there is something i can give" with that said, the emperor tore the insignia off his already torn and battered uniform. "This signifies that if you ever need a favor, Dakara will respond to your call"

"We in the govrnment will discuss this. But we are rather positive aboute the outcome."

OOC: We also use some Babylon 5 and Star Trek Ships.

"We would also like to found a Dakaran Embassy on Caprica, our capital!"

"And of course, a Burnsian one."

"By the way, here is a picture of Caprica (http://members.cox.net/exordius1/Goronkoth/Planets/Caprica.jpg), our capitol. And here is Picon (http://members.cox.net/exordius1/Goronkoth/Planets/Picon.jpg), where the event and Fleet HQ are."

God Emperor Dak I returned to the party,
Sheik Mohammed Bin Al Deeb was trying very hard not to be offended by the strangeness of these people, even the Russians were rude, he realized that his time with Russians in Afghan was with soldoers and not politicians, so what could he expect.

Upon seeing the soldier who arrived with a sword return to the dinner(obviously a general, or someone of great import, to be attending),
He approached the man, he bowed and gave the ancient silent blessing of the Bedouin "Forgive my forward nature sir, but you see I am more out of place here then most. I could not help but notice you entered with a blade at your side, seeing as I to prefer to keep my enemies close" the reference being to obviously to the range of the weapon " I thought we might share some commonality. One soldier to another." He extended his hand to the man " I am Sheik Mohammed Bin Al Deeb of the Bedou, and you are?"

OOC: is it too late for me to join? I've just been busy :( It didn't look like I missed much from reading the other thread though! Tell me if not and I'll delete this post through editing.


The President of Domestic Affairs of Squeezitlandia and her partner arrive bearing a gift of the finest thing Squeezitlandia has to offer--the latest and most fantastic computer constructed by the nation's fantastic info technology sector. And also a few fancy and beautifully hand-crafted baskets, for good measure.

Extremely late, the Credonian delegate arrives aboard a Boeing 737 Business Jet. The surprise delegate steps off of the plane onto the tarmac as his body guards hold back the press who seem to swarm around him. He poses for the camera and then begins to speak.

"For those of you who dont know me, I am Alexander Nicolas Sutton, son of late president Kaimoni Sutton, my father. It is time that i stop being afraid and take after my father. It is time that i pick up where he left off, and i know if he was here today, he would do all he can to establish good relations with every willing nation that he could. This is my way of showing mygratitude towards him, a great man, and this is how i will follow in my footsteps. Tonight, i officially announce that i will be running for President of the United States of Credonia in the 2004 elections to be started this month. That is all, thank you and God bless."

He walks to his Black 2004 Lincoln Navigator stretched limousine (the same kind as his father President Sutton) and headed towards the dinner.

As he arrives, he steps out of the limo and takes a look at his surroundings and inhales some of the sweet smelling air and starts for the door. He iand his bodyguards are greeted by armed guards.

"Not too bad of a job with security around here. Tonight just may be a good night to party" Sutton remarks as he heads past the guards and into the main room with the other dignitaries.

He approaches the King of the Swedish Dominion.

"Good evening your highness. Im Alexander, son if late President Kaimoni Sutton. Ive heard a lot about you in the Credonian news regarding the war on TBD (or is it PFM heh i just woke up so i forgot). Perhaps if you have time later on we may discuss that issue" he says as he shakes the Kings hand.

"Mr. Sutton," President Karm Messner said, "I wish you luck with your election. I am sure that you will make an excellent president. All that beside, let me be the first person to welcome you to TBD. Through the years I have been in office, it has become almost a second home to me. I'm sure you'd agree that it is hard to find a better place to visit for a few days."

2. He forgot to offer a gift.

One soldier to another." He extended his hand to the man " I am Sheik Mohammed Bin Al Deeb of the Bedou, and you are?"

" i was hoping i would meet you. Sheik Bin Al Deeb. I believe we share a commonality that these nobel types do not, for all warriors, deep inside are brothers" that said, he engaged in conversation with the Shiek.

"Mr. Sutton," President Karm Messner said, "I wish you luck with your election. I am sure that you will make an excellent president. All that beside, let me be the first person to welcome you to TBD. Through the years I have been in office, it has become almost a second home to me. I'm sure you'd agree that it is hard to find a better place to visit for a few days."

"Thank you sir for your kind wishes. It's an honor to be here in this beautiful nation. Its a shame my father wasnt able to come to see this for himself. He would as impressed and breath taken by such surroundings and beauty. Good luck to you in the future on the success of your nation."

Her Highness walks over and smiles.

"I couldn't help but overhear, Karm. Thank you. No one has ever said that about this drafty old mansion... I redesigned it myself."

President Karm Messner stands up and taps his glass, asking for silence. "I know that it is yet early in the night, but I have wanted to say this for a while. I propose a toast: to Queen Rachel Romalia and her soon to be husband Captain Micheal Kingsly. May your marriage be long, prosperous, and happy and may all of our nations be forever at peace with one another!" All of the assembled delegates raise their glasses to the Queen and her husband to be and drink. The room is then filled with applause.

Her Highness walks over and smiles.

"I couldn't help but overhear, Karm. Thank you. No one has ever said that about this drafty old mansion... I redesigned it myself."

"Nonsense Rachel, it is one of the most beatiful spots I have ever seen, let alone been to. I am very impressed with your skills, you have turned this area into a place I will always remember!"


OOC:
Might as well double post, sorry...

Lauren walks over to the Queen

"Congratulations on tying the knot. It must feel wonderful. I myself have never been married, or even been in love for that matter" She blushes a little and begins to look a little sad.

"Oh... that's too bad. It's so wonderful. I hope you find that someone. :)"

bump

The Admiral walked up to the Queen and saluted. "Your highness, if I may, I'd like to ask you a question in refrence to the possible war with DL. Will you grant our forces permission to enter TBD, in preperation for the defence of TBD should war break out?"

"The war is over, I think, as DL has not posted."

Lauren continues to speak with the Queen

"Yes, Credonia will also send forces in your defense should war break out again. I hope this event marks a change in the attitude towards out nations as relations have been...icy, cold, and less than favorable for both sides in my opinion"
