A young congressman stands from behind the door and walks quietly to the front of the auditorium. He proceeds up the stairs as he hears no talkin or wispering. He walks behind the head microphone stand and stands looking down at his papers, then at the audience. He looks once more then begins to read the grim news

Ladies and Gentlemen... We have a terrible announcement. Premier DuFour has died last night. Autopsy by New Orleans Corners has show that he died of a heart attack probably in his sleep.

He stops and looks out into the pack auditorium then looks back down.

In his final testiment he has left specific directions for the "Peoples Congress" to take charge of all official duties until elections can be set up.

The crowd remains quiet as if holding their breath

Dakingrad
"Sir, Urgent news from our allies!" an aide called out to Premier Zukhov "Comrade Premier DuFour of Communist Louisana is dead"


The news hit Premier Zukhov like a train wreck, his comrade and closest ally was dead. he couldn't beleive it. Dufour? dead?

"Services?"

without answering the aide "Send word to the Emperor. he may just come down from his village to attend"

The Citadel
"of course i'll come" Dak answered without thinking, after reading the premier's telegram.

"Usul, Iuna, In my chambers!"

"yes?" enquired the zealot Usul and Priestess Iuna

"Premier DuFour of communist Louisana is dead, and we will honor our comrade, in our way and thiers. But first we msut go the the funeral, then we may have the Ghost Dance when we get back...call the brothers together, and we will have our death wail."

A loud wail from thousands of voices rang out in teh cold night in every zealot village and the citadel. the sream was still ringing in his ears when Dak boarded the train for dakingrad.

Inside the President's Villa:

While mingiling with the guests, he hears of the Premier's death. His butler whispers him the terrible news.

'Damn' the President thought. 'He's dead... I hope there's not a revolution... eh, I gotta send them my pity.'

The President whispers to his butler to tell the Minister of Foreign Affairs to send them an official response. The butler nodded and headed to his office.

Butler:"Orcha, s-"
Orcha:"I heard, sending a response now."

The Minister started typing the following the response:

**Official Statement from DuFour family**

I would like to first thank all our friends for their support. I would also like to thank the "Peoples Congress" for taking over Daniels(a.k.a. Premier DuFour) state duties.

Tears begin to swell in the womans eyes as she continues to read the document about her husban.

Tomorrow will be the last day the body will be located at the old capital building. Mass for the Premier will be at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans. His burial will be at the DuFour family tomb in Plucheville

She continues to try to hold back her tears

I would again like to thank Daniels friends. You were really important to him. He will be missed by many.

She starts to cry as she walks off from behind the wooden podium.

The MegaCorp Cartel of MMI offers its sincere condolances. A MMI envoy wishes to attend the state funeral.

OOC: Should be there by now.

The 747 lands on the airport. It rolls to a grinding stop, then the Minister opens the door and steps outside, waiting to be greeted.

Oak Alley Plantation

Dak left the hotel without the Premier knowing. he took the two members of his entourage, and after stopping by a florist, went to visit the DuFour family.

The Minister called for a taxi, getting picked up he told the location of where he wanted to go. He was driven away... to the Plantation.

OOC: Sorry, I RPed as one of your dudes @.@

bump.

The Minister arrived at the Plantation, expecting to be greeted. He gets out of the cab and gives him 5 Roses as a tip. He now starts to look at his watch...

OOC: Greet him for I am saten grrrr..... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

OOC: I just saw this...I'm in the International, so I guess it's ok to post...Besides, you and I are good allies.

IC:
The ANL regrets this terrible tragedty and we send our deepest condolances. This must be a hard time for your honorable nation and we wish to be availble for you if need be. Also, we ask if w maybe able to send a diplomatic envoy over with our Vice Premier. Of course, this is all up to you.

Mrs. DuFour picks up the phone in her late husbans office with direct connection to the Premier of ANL office and presses the buttons.
We will accept your people ANL. My husban was very fond of your nation.

The Premiers oldest son(Terry)drives a rather large golf car and stops suddenly on side the Minister.
I am Terry DuFour, need a ride to the house?

Mrs. DuFour picks up the phone in her late husbans office with direct connection to the Premier of ANL office and presses the buttons.
We will accept your people ANL. My husban was very fond of your nation.

The Vice Premier Coyotepec picked up the phone (Premier Quetzalcoatl is dealing with urgent buisness in Rotovia) and said "Alright, we will be departing shortly. Again, we send our condolances."

Within an hour, the ANL's VIP Iu-86 took off with the Vice Premier and 6 diplomatic personel.

After the TWA 7E7 rolled to a stop at the airport, CEO Jack O'Neill began to walk down the wheeled stairway. This is the first time I've ever been to Communist Louisiana. I wish it could have been under better circumstances, he thought. After reaching the bottom of the stairway, he looked around and wondered, Now where is that transportation?

A black SUV pulls up. A foreign man comes up to Jack O'Neill

I am suppose to bringgg you tu Oak Allley, please relax in the car sir and sit. I bet you have has a long flight and this hummidity is killing you.

He grabbs the suitcases and puts them neatly in back of the truck.

The ANL's Iu-86 opens radio communications with Baton Rogue airport.

"This is 45001 Notilli-12, requesting permission to land at Baton Rogue Airport. If required, we will divert to another airport."

In the back of the plane, Vice-Premier Coyotepec began to talk to his delegation.

"Alright, the leadership of Communist Louisiana was on very friendly terms with the ANL leadership. I would like to see the new leadership of CL be very friendly with us also. I also want to get the people of CL to be friendly towards us. How do you propose we do this?"

"Easy," spoke one of the delegates, "in the Plaza of the Revolution, we can begin to build busts of great communist leaders. We can have Marx, Ingles, Lenin, Trotskym then we can have our Premier and Premier DuFour's bust also in the Plaza."

"That would be good." Coyotepec said. "What else do you have in mind?"

"Well, we could try to formally sign a treaty with Communist Louisiana. Trade, military or whatever."

"Good, begin to write it up and have it donw soon. I think we might be leaving CL with better allies." Coyotepec finished.

IDF's President Manichevitz is now arriving at CL's main airport for the funeral. He

Transmission to ANL
This is Baton Rouge International Airport over.... You have permission to land.... Please land on run way 7 where we have vehicles waiting over....

3 black suburbons wait as the plane begins to land.

Transmission to IDF
[i]This is New Orleans International over.... Premission to land accepted please land on runway 16 over....

3 black suburbons wait as the plane begins to land.

"Roger that, prepairing landing sequence now."

With that, the Iu-86 slowly decended down upon the airport. The Vice Premier walked out of the conference room and into the cockpit where he watched the city come into view under the clouds.

"My, my, what a pleasent looking city. Always wanted to see Baton Rogue. Maybe we can travel down to New Orleans also."

The plane touched down on runway seven with perfect ease. As the plane came to a stop, three black suburbons waited with lights flashing. The door swung down and the six delegates and Vice-Premier steped out and quickly walked into the black suburbons where they were carted off to wherever.

"Thanks for picking us up." The Vice-Premier said to the drivers.

3 men walked towards them and picked up the delegates baggage.

Aucun problam le monsieur. Nous apporterons votre vers vos adaptations ou nous trouverons probablement à vous de quelque chose manger?

1 of the men laughed then turned his head

im sorry comrade, my friend here speaks only cajin french like a majority do here. He wanted to know if you would like to go to your accommodations or have a bite to eat?

"A bite to eat sounds good. How bout where they serve the best jumboliya?"

The man smiles

My wife is at work so thats out the picture

He begins to laugh again

We know a place that serves both Creole and Cajin foods

The man turns his head towards the driver and speaks in french to him. He then looks back out his window and tilts his head back a little

Next stop, Grandma's Resturant

The driver drove over the bridge looking at the old state capital building from the bridge and then sighed.

OOC: I'm going to re RP my entrance.

The 747 near Communist Louisiana, requested permission to land.

"This is OY747 requesting permession to land in the Motherland of Communist Louisiana over."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Orcha Yultanov, sat nervously in his seat. This was his first venture out of Rose for a while, so he was nervous. He looked at his watch, it was an old fashioned wristwatch. He though to himself.

"Poor man that he died like this, let's see I have my suit and wallet here so I'm ready. Hmmm, I wonder if they have croquettes and rice, they are so delish. View's nice too, eh... wonder when I'm going to land, my coo coo hurts."

OY747 this is Baton Rouge International over.... You have premission to land on number 5 over....


OCC: I am going to bed.

The 747 lands, and it lands perfectly too, not like that MiG 19 in Formal Dances...

"Okay this is OY747 landing on runway 5."

The Minister looks at his watch. He stops looking when he realises he's landing. He stands up and heads towards the exit of the plane. He slides down the emergency slide. "Wheeee" He then stands up, looking at his watch expecting a ride.

OOC: And good night.

Two black XB Scions pull up towards the jet. One man gets out holding an automatic machine gun and another steps out wearing a dress suit and picks up minister from TIOR.

Sorry about the gun man comrade, we are on extra alert with the Premiers funeral comming up

The Minister is surprised and puts his hands up.

"What the? Hey! Why am I specifically held hostage?! Oh..." He puts his hands down. "Thank, and I suppose that you will take me?" He checks his watch and waits for a response.

OOC: I think I'm going to have Hamion at the funeral already, I really don't want to RP his transport there and such.

IC:

Hamion looked down at the body of his fallen comrade sadly. Premier DuFour had been a pleasure to be associated with and a staunch ally as well as advocator for the true communist style. Never had a hard feeling come between Communist Lousiana and Blargistania and now, Hamion was here to honor the alliance, even in the face of death. After standing over the casket for several minutes and offering up prayers to the Invisible Pink Pony to watch over and protect the Premier's soul in the afterlife, Hamion began to attend his state duties.

In a small telegram, Hamion issued the following statement.

[i] Blargistania offers its condolences to the government, people, and family of Premier DuFour. We had none but the best of relations between nations and we wish to continue that tradition. The government of Blargistania would like to offer and strengthen its bonds of allaince with the People's Congress and the future Premier. The world has lost a great man in Preimer DuFour, but let us not leave his legacy behind. All nations sharing the Premier's views should work to preserve his memory and his works. Vive l'estate de Communist Louisiana.

Consul Locke sweated in the opressive humidity. It did not help that he was wearing his best suit. However, such events called for deep formality and respect. After arriving at the Airport, lodgings were arranged, and he and his security enterouge set up shop. After that, he intended to view the fallen leader's body.

As the Vice Premier and the delegation enjoyed the fine cajin food, they Vice Premier looked up and asked "So where exactly are we going to be going to, I mean to stay until we are done with buisness?"
