I am "The Watcher" - a being whose sole purpose is to observe and record the goings on of various planetary societies. As a part of my duties, I have been assigned the duty of observing the planet known as "NS Earth" to its inhabitants. What follows is a description of what has recently taken place on that world; some told in the words of those who participated, some in my words, some, in the words of those who will come in the futrure, as that word is used by those who see time as a line, progressing from the known to the unknown. To these beings, what is reported below will dramatically change their planet and the interrelationship of its people. To make things easier on the reader of this report:
Blue Text = the words of King 'Lude Valeeum Narcosis, II - ruler of the nation of Mauiwowee, one of the most powerful nations on the planet.
Red Text = the words of his mate, Queen Harriet - the person who has upset the politics of the planet and who has/will destroyed the rule of King 'Lude in order to establish her own rule
Black Text = the followers of Queen Harriet.
Green Text = my comments.
****************************************************
The details of how it came about are unimportant, this report begins at a time in the continuim when king 'Lude has been imprisoned in the dungeons of his own castle as the result of queen Harriet's actions and her charismatic display of leadership abilities which manage to sway a significant portion of Mauiwowee's forces to her "side."
Do you mean it ? Do you mean it ? Do you mean it ?
Oh, yes I mean it!
Why do I follow you and where do you go?
You've never seen nothing like it, no never in your life; like going up to heaven and then coming back alive Let me tell you all about it, And the world will so allow it.
Ooh, give a little time to choose - Water babies singing in a lyrical delight - Blue powder monkeys praying in the dead of night . . .
His request for time and use of poetry reflective of their prior love and the allusion to the sad faces of the gunners that had secured their rule in the past had, sadley, no effect
Here comes the Black Queen, poking in the pile, Fie-fo the black Queen, marching single file
Take this, take that, bring them down to size
March to the Black Queen
Put them in the cellar with the naughty boys, A little ****** sugar then a rub-a-dub-a baby oil black on, black on every finger nail and toe We've only begun - begun, Make this, make that, keep making all that noise.
March to the Black Queen
Now I've got a belly-ful,
Speaking derisively, Harriet said
You can be my sugar-baby, you can be my honey-chile, yes.

Continuing this sarcastic tone, she said:
A voice from behind me reminds me, spreading out your wings you are an angel, remember to deliver with the speed of light a little bit of love and joy. Everything you do has a will and a why and a wherefore - A little bit of love and joy.
In each and every soul lies a man, very soon he'll receive and discover, but even till the end of his life, he'll bring a little love.
Recognizing that the king had an emotional attachment and his belief that people would "do the right thing" if he gave them the ability to do so, Queen Harriet replied to the king's clearly emotional play on words

I reign with my left hand, I rule with my right, I'm Queen of all darkness, I'm Queen of the night! I've got the power - now do the march of the Black Queen!
Terrified now, willing to do anything to save his mortal existence, King 'Lude said the words that would change the course of history on Earth V. -
My life is in your hands, I'll fo and I'll fie, I'll be what you make me, I'll do what you like. I'll be a bad boy - I'll be your bad boy - I'll do the march of the Black Queen.
That ended the discussion in the dungeons, but changed the world. Those "in the know" carried on and chanted, psychologically anyway,
Walking true to style, She's vulgar 'buse and vile, fie-fo the Black Queen, tattoos all her pies, she boils and she bakes, and she never dots her "I's - She's our leader!!"
Looking at king 'Lude, Harriet said:
"Forget your singalongs and your lullabies, Surrender to the city of the fireflies, dance with the devil in beat with the band, to hell with all of you hand-in-hand, now it's time to be gone - forever - forever"

and then there was a single shot from a "handgun" and death, and illimitable darkness held dominion over all the planet's inhabitants. A leading nation and force on the planet in the fight to establish a planet-wide realization of the power of freedom, liberty and equality for all, died that day in the dungeon. The "Black Queen" assumed control and the world would never be the same.

:::: Fade In ::::

Hello ladies and gentlemen of Mauiwowee - I bring you sad news this evening - there is no way to state this more plainly - King 'Lude Valeeum Narcosis, II is dead. His wife, our queen, Harriet, has assumed complete control of Mauiwowee. The House of Royals, in an emergency session, has acknowledged her rule. The House of People, on the other hand, has been suspended as a law making body. The National Judiciary has yet to react. - Shelias and Surfers, in all my years as a reporter for SidTV, nothing this dramatic has ever happened. I hope continue in my role as a reporter to you of our nation's political system, but I can't promise this will take place. The death of the king as the result of a suicide and the resultant rule of queen Harriet changes things in a way that no one can predict. I'll return in a moment with details of the king's suicide and death, but, for now . . .

::: In the Palace :::

"Yes your majesty?"

"General Ripper, you've been loyal to our nation and ensured that the power of the Mauiwoweean royal family was not attacked by outsiders. Are you willing to continue that role?" Said Queen Harriet.

Looking at the Royal Guardsmen that surrounded him he said "Yes mam, I served 'Lude with no hesitation and I will serve you. The people are my only concern."

"Good!" said queen Harriet, the new ruler of Mauiwowee - "if you mean it, then I have a job for you and your men. If you don't, then recognize that your betrayal of me will be cast in the news to the people as a betrayal of our people."

"Yes mam" said the General, already regretting his words.

Watcher Report 2
Subject - NS Earth
Topic - Mauiwowee
Report Format - Sound & Video Clip Compilation - Resident Motivational Summary and background for current events

CLIP 1 - Queen Harriet "The Black Queen" of Mauiwowee - Upon her murder of her husband, King 'Lude II

"I reign with with my left hand,I rule with my right,I'm queen of all darkness,I'm queen of the night! I've got the power, now do the march of the Black Queen!"

CLIP 2 - Television Commentators' 'roundtable' discussion on Queen Harriet's ascension to the throne

"She's walking true to style."

"She's vulgar, buse and vile!"

"Fie for the black queen, she tatooes all her pies, she boils and she bakes, and she never dots her "i's"

"She's our leader."

CLIP 3 - Queen Harriet in session with General Jack T. Ripper, Mauiwowee military Chief of staff and 2nd in command of Mauiwowee's military (after the death of 'Lude II)

"Everywhere are freaks and hairies, dykes and fairies, tell me, where is sanity? Tax the rich, feed the poor, till we have no rich no more."

"I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do, I leave that up to you."

"The population keeps on breeding, our nation's bleeding . . . EDIT FOR CONTINUITY"Just black and white, rich or poor, them and us.

"stop the war!"

CLIP 4 - War Protest in Mauiwowee controlled Brazil

"Generals gathered in their masses, just like witches at black masses. Evil minds that plot destruction, sorcerers of death's construction. In the fields are bodies burning, as the war machine keeps turning. Death and hatred to mankind, they're poisoning your brainwashed minds.
Politicians hide themselves away. They only started the war. Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor. Time will tell on their power minds, making war just for fun. Treating people just like pawns in chess, wait till their judgement day comes!"

CLIP 5 - Bedroom of Roxicet "Rox" Soma Narcosis, age 16, illegitmate son of King 'Lude II, but rightful heir of the throne of Mauiwowee, half talking and half praying to himself - (note: his existence is unknown at this time to all but his mother (the king's former secretary & aide) and a few other people who will reveal their knowledge at a later time).

"When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical. There are times when all the world's asleep, the questions run too deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am. Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable! At night, when all the world's asleep, the questions run so deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am."

CLIP 6 - War protest in Mauiwowee controlled Nigeria

"War! Good God, what is it good for?"

"Absolutely nothing!"

Say it again!

CLIP 7 - Commodore Stanley Bostitch - thoughts upon refusing an order from the queen to use nuclear weapons.

"Gimme one good reason why I should listen to you. I need one good reason why I should do What you want me to. Gimme some air or I can't breathe, I can't see so I can't believe. Show me just a little more Oh-oh gimme one good reason why I should listen to you. I need one good reason why I should do What you want me to. Under your thumb ain't no place to hide I can't choose and I can't decide. Gotta be a better way Oh-oh gimme one. I keep making the same mistake; No win no lose no give and no take I'm just playing a simple game And I don't wanna ask you again and again, for one good reason why I should listen to you; just one good reason why I should do What you want me to."

CLIP 8 - General Ripper's concerns and thoughts on the new rule of Queen Harriet and his concern she doesn't trust him (as well she might not since he knows that she murdered the king and that the suicide story is a lie.) - it must be noted though, he is loyal to whoever is the king or queen - how they obtained the position is of no concern to him, Queen Harriet doesn't understand this about him though, King 'Lude did.

"My eyes with your vision. My choice but always your decision. Well it's my play with your direction and it's my need but always your connection. When I look into your eyes you don't believe me; I can see it in your eyes you don't believe. My words, your expressions. My land, always your possessions. Well it's my song, and your production; my expense is always your deduction. When I look into your eyes you don't believe me, I can see it in your eyes you don't believe - And the face I see before me is both sides of a mirror, anyway, you've got a hold on me. And the face you're looking into is both sides of a window, and any way you look you see through me. My fame, your reflection. My weakness, always your protection. Well it's my terms on your conditions. And they're my tunes but they're your compositions."

CLIP 9 - Queen Harriet's journal

"I gotta be crazy, gotta have a real need; had to sleep on my toes, and when upon the street,
I had to be able to pick out the easy meat with my eyes closed. Then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight, I had to strike when the moment was right without thinking. And after a while, I could work on points for style, like the club tie, and the firm handshake; sudden look in the eye, and an easy smile. I had to be trusted by the people that I lied to, so that when they turned their backs on me, I got the chance to put the knife in. I gotta keep one eye, looking over my shoulder. I know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as I get older. And in the end I'll pack up, fly down south; hide my head in the sand, Just another sad wo-man, all alone and dying of cancer . . . I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused. Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used. Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off, this creeping malaise. If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze? Deaf, dumb, and blind, I just keep on pretending; that everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend. And it seems to me the thing to do would be to isolate the winner. Everythings done under the sun, And I believe at heart, everyone's a killer."

CLIP 10 - Queen Harriet's mother, when Harriet was child.

"Watch out, you might get what you're after. Oh, baby, he's strange, but not a stranger."

RE: Harriet
DATE: Today

Sirs:
As you know, Queen Harriet has taken control of Mauiwowee on the reported suicide of King 'Lude - as you are also no doubt aware by now, I and the troops under my command are wanted men. However, I know you oppose her tactics - how I know this is unimportant. I ask only for your assistance now, during this time of trouble in our great nation.

Sincerely,
Commodore Bostitch

Watcher Report - General Jack T. Ripper

To his reflection as he shaved 2 days after the fleet split and the queen directed the arrest of the members of the House of Peoples

I must’ve dreamed a thousand dreams - Been haunted by a million screams, But I can hear the marching feet, They’re moving into the street. Now did you read the news today? They say the danger’s gone away, but I can see the fire’s still alight - it's burning into the night. There’s too many men, too many people, making too many problems - and not much love to go round, can’t you see this is a land of confusion.

looking down at his hands and razor

This is the world we live in. And these are the hands we’re given. Use them and let’s start trying To make it a place worth living in.

To a picture of {the murdered} King 'Lude II

Ooh superman where are you now? When everything’s gone wrong somehow - Us men of steel, us men of power, are losing control by the hour. This is the time, this is the place, so I look for the future, but there’s not much love to go round, tell me why, this is a land of confusion.

Again to his hands and razor

This is the world we live in, and these are the hands I'm given, I'll use them and I'll start trying to make it a place worth living in.

To a picture of his long dead wife

I remember long ago - Ooh when the sun was shining, yes and the stars were bright, all through the night, and the sound of your laughter - as I held you tight. So long ago -

To himself in the mirror again

I won’t be coming home tonight. This General will put it right! I'm not just making promises, that I know, I’ll never keep. Too many men, there’s too many people, making too many problems and not much love to go round. I can see this is a land of confusion. Now this is the world I live in, and these are the hands I'm given. I'll use 'em and I'll start trying To make it a place worth fighting for. This is the world I live in, and General's the name I'm given. I'll stand up and I'll start showing just where my life is going to.

::: FADE IN :::

Good evening gents and sheilas - this is Asus Norton, your Live at 5 reporter from Mauiwowee. In our top story tonight, amidst allegations of conspiracy, foul play and cover-up, her royal highness, queen Harriet has suspended the House of Peoples and directed that at least 3 members be arrested on unspecified, sealed charges. General Ripper, spokeman for the military, has assured SidTV that all is well and things will return to normal shortly. The apparant suicide of King 'Lude, however, has many royal watchers scratching their heads - David Dukacass, famous photo-journalist for the Bud-City Sun expresses the sympathies and feelings of most in his report "Suicide? I Don't Buy it!" in this week's issue of the tabloid. Adding to the speculation is the rumored desire of Harriet to be known as the "Black Queen." As any school child knows, associating a color with a queen is an honor bestowed by the populance, and usually by history. Mauiwowee itself was founded by the "Red Queen," Alice the First. The Yellow Queen, Meridith II received her title after her death due to her promotion of agricultural and the cultivation of plants that, primarily, are thought of as yellow - corn, sunflowers, etc. The blue Queen, Anastasia IV was named during her reign during a time of great depression, both psychological and financial that she managed to restore us from in the space of just a few years.
However, until now, NO queen has declared her color or demanded recognition of herself by that color. However, Harriet is demanding that she be recongized as the "Black Queen."
On 24-24 tonight, Barbarra Wahthers will do an in-depth report on the naming of our queens and use of color as a honored tradition in their popular names.

We'll be back with more after this commericial, please stay tuned to SidTV.

FROM: General Ripper

Mike/Jay:

This message is short for various reasons and I'm using the W.M.D., Inc. network for reasons that I hope you can understand at this time. Your former ambassador and our current queen, Harriet Levine, has lost touch with reality. I can prove she murdered your past friend and ally, King 'Lude. She doesn't know that King 'Lude has a son, Roxicet Soma Narcosis and plans to install him as king are in the works, but they will take time. The bulk of our naval forces, being deployed around the world, are accepting the messages the mass media is sending - suicide. Please note that is this false, but please keep this information secret for now. She needs me too much now as . . . I have to go, more later. Monitor the WMD encrypted channel with the IOC.

P.S. You are free to notify TIOR if you think they may be of assistance - they are the only other nation I feel I could trust in this.

OOC:

Mind if I join in? I can post my support like we discussed over AIM a few weeks ago, Maui. :)

OOC: Feel free - just remember that I view NS Earth as being in a Separate "dimension" than Earth V - names are the same, postions of importance are the same for the most part. But what happens in one dimension doesn't necessarily happens in the other dimension - sort of a "corrupted" Sliders idea without the ability for people to travel from one "time" to another. 'Lude, Harriet and Rox on NS Earth are not the same people as they are on Earth V - despite the incredible similarties in name and circumstances. In fact, it might be a good idea to RP how Sharina knows of Maui on NS Earth since our only real interaction has been on Earth V. Just like I keep Norleans and Maui apart on Earth V, I keep Maui on NS Earth and Maui on Earth V separate and apart as well. :cool:

That said, I'd love to have you join (btw - Sarzonia is a great RP'er if you've not dealt with him and I hope The Island of Rose (TIOR) can join in as well.)

OOC:

I'm still game. We should try to work out some initial details for NS Earth stuff over AIM, so not to mess up or anything. I've been getting my RP ambition back, after the whole illness thing and the n00bishness crap about Feline Catfish and Call to Power situation around Mother's Day.

I'm ready to jump back into RP'ing, as I've just done over in Earth V yesterday. :)
