Hello. We are a new nation in NationStates. Anyway, we have the son of a nobleman who is looking for a girl to settle down with. Please post the offers of your suitors here. We require the basic info of the suitors so we know who we can choose and that. This is my first thread of this kind, please understand.

Thank you for your time in reading this thread.

I will post info on the son of the nobleman soon.

We would ask what the nobleman's name is, his interest, his dislikes, his standings in the hiearchy of Imperial Romania, and what type of girl is he looking for? Also does he hope to wed a fellow noble, or simply a girl he'd like?

OOC-Standing in Imperial Romania? Also, in the picture, which girl is she? I will try to get a picture of Nicholas too.

Sara Romanov is a perfect choice for Nicholas. He had recieved this info and would like to meet her. He requests that they meet in Theao if possible. He hopes everything will work out ok. We hope this response is ok as well.

Sara is interested in meeting Nicholus and wonders when he wishs to come visit.

ooc: Sorry about that, forgot to edit, will do so. She's the blonde

OOC- We hope this is an acceptable picture of Nicholas. http://www.napoleonguide.com/images/napgal_genbon.jpg

OOC2- Nicholas requests transport to Theao so he can meet Sara. He is also interested in meeting her. He also would like to know of any Theao customs and the such as he does not want to be rude or offending or anything like that while in Theao.

There are flights going from Imperial Romania to Theao via a number of stops. There are very few unusual customs, and it is unlikely for him to stumble upon them. It is also moderately difficult to offend a Theao in general communication.

ooc: The section of ooc2 would likely be better as ic, as it's 'in-character'

OOC-Thanks for telling me that.

IC-Nicholas dressed in a formal outfit and bought a gift to give to Sara. Nicholas was cheered by many people who gathered to say goodbye to him. He proceeded to the airport, said bye to his family and then got on the plane and went to Theao....

OOC-Is this ok? Also, I would like your reply to be the plane landing or Sara getting ready or something.

Sara finished getting dressed and looked around as she neaded down to breakfast. She wondered what Nicholus would be like, especially when facing a girl who could send him flying if he tried to get fresh.

Gerrard had been sent to pick up the man and bring him to visit.

Gerrard had been sent to pick up the man and bring him to visit.

Nicholas was in the plane thinking about what may happen. ''I hope all this will work out. I hope Sara is a nice girl, not to say she isn't.'' Nicholas thought. He took out his gift (when he gives it to her, I will say what it is) and looked at it before putting it away. ''We are landing now!'' one of the aides said. ''Good, I will get ready.'' Nicholas said getting ready for landing. The plane landed and Nicholas said to himself ''Well, I am in Theao. I must not make Sara think I am a jerk or anything.'' Then he came out....

As the plane that had originated in Imperial Romania disgorged it's passengers, Gerrard held up the sign with the name of Antonescu on it as he awaited for Nicholus to disembark and notice the sign.

''Hello there!'' Nicholas said to Gerrard from the plane. Nicholas came and shook Gerrard's hand. ''I am Nicholas Antonescu of Imperial Romania.'' Nicholas said in a friendly manner. Nicholas then fixed his outfit up and waited for Gerrard's reply.

"I would imagine you are as your face matches the picture and you replied to the sign." Gerrard replied in a dry tone. "Have you picked up your luggage, if so right this way." He then waited for Nicholus to confirm/get his luggage and led him to a midnight-blue Mercedes-Benz SLR-class. "Once you are seated we shall be off."

ooc: Last post for night.

''I see.'' Nicholas stated. ''I have picked up my luggage, it is not that big.'' he said after making sure he had it. Then he went into the car and got seated. ''We may be off now, Gerrard. '' Nicholas said to Gerrard in the car. ''If we can, may we take a scenic route or something?'' he asked.

OOC-Last post for night? Just making sure.

"The Saoirse Republic has a young Chief's son of marriage age, and is looking to expose some of the young leaders to foreign cultures, Sir Tim Comyn of the Clan Comyn would very much like to meet the young lady as well. Tim is 21 years old, he is an artisan's apprentice in the craft of pottery, has led parties of war on raids, enjoys riding and marksmanship and has won several challenges on the field of honour and published a collection of poems that is popular both inside and without our borders. Sir Tim would love a chance to tour your nation but is just as happy to show the noblewoman about our lands whichever is her preference. We shall wait for your reply."

Allan McNiven, International Secretary of Clan Comyn.

Will we be continuing this RPG later? Just making sure so I know what will be happening.

"That would be fine if you wished to take the scenic route." He then pulled the car out of the parking lot and headed out of the city.

snip
Should Tim wish to visit, then he is allowed.

As they went through the scenic route, Nicholas decided to get some pictures with his camera. ''May I take some pictures? I do some photography and the scenic route would make good pictures.'' Nicholas asked.

"That would be fine, it's not like we're going passed any state secrets." Gerrard commented

"That would be fine, it's not like we're going passed any state secrets." Gerrard commented

''I understand. Besides, no nation wants their secrets to be shown to others.'' he said.
''Please tell me when we get to where Sara is.'' Nicholas said, taking some good pictures of areas. After a while, he put everything away and began to contemplate things.

After a fourty-five minute ride, Gerrard commented, "We are about five minutes away from Sara's residence."

OOC: I see you're using my help. Your'e a monarchy?

After a fourty-five minute ride, Gerrard commented, "We are about five minutes away from Sara's residence."

''That is good. I hope to see her soon.'' Nicholas said. ''Gerrard, thank you for the car ride to Sara's residence. It is appreciated.'' he said. Then he began to comb his hair and so on.

OOC: I see you're using my help. Your'e a monarchy?

My government is being developed. And I may be using your help.

"No thanks is necessary." Gerrard replied as he pulled the car up to the doorway of a rather large house.

OOC: BTW, don't double post. Either put it in one, or use the edit feature.

But I wish your government the best of luck!

OOC: BTW, don't double post. Either put it in one, or use the edit feature.

But I wish your government the best of luck!

OOC-Did I double post? And I will remember this info. And thank you for the best of luck statement.

"No thanks is necessary." Gerrard replied as he pulled the car up to the doorway of a rather large house.

''I see.'' Nicholas said coming out of the car. ''I can't wait to see Sara. I wonder what she is like.'' Nicholas thought. He fixed himself up, prepared his gift and came towards the door. Then Nicholas waited at the doorway, hoping someone would greet him.

A man who could be Gerrard's twin answered the door. "Hello Nicholus, please come in."

A man who could be Gerrard's twin answered the door. "Hello Nicholus, please come in."

''Thank you.'' Nicholas said to the man, coming inside the house. ''This is a nice house.'' Nicholas stated. ''Is this where I will be meeting Miss Romanov?'' Nicholas asked.

"Yes it is." The man lead Nicholus into a lavishly appointed lounge.

"Yes it is." The man lead Nicholus into a lavishly appointed lounge.

''That is good. I am sure Sara and I will get along quite nicely.'' Nicholas replied.
''The owners of this house must be wealthy for this lounge looks very expensive.'' Nicholas said nicely. Nicholas decided to sit in one of the chairs and wait for Sara. ''Thank you for showing me around.'' Nicholas said to the man.

"You are welcome, but it remains to be seen how you and Sara will get along." The man replied as he departed.

A few minutes later, Sara arrived wearing a pair of jeans and a dark blue t-shirt. "You must be Nicholus, and thank you for the compliment about my home."

"You are welcome, but it remains to be seen how you and Sara will get along." The man replied as he departed.

A few minutes later, Sara arrived wearing a pair of jeans and a dark blue t-shirt. "You must be Nicholus, and thank you for the compliment about my home."

''I understand but I am sure we will.'' Nicholas told the man. When Sara came, Nicholas shook her hand and said ''Yes, I am Nicholas and you are welcome for the compliment.'' ''With all respect and not to offend but you are a beautiful young woman.'' Nicholas said nicely. Nicholas wanted to give his gift later instead of right away. ''So, what do you want to do first?'' Nicholas asked politely.

"Thank you." She replied, "But what would you like to do while here?"

"Thank you." She replied, "But what would you like to do while here?"

''Perhaps a nice walk would be good first.'' Nicholas said.

"Then shall we depart?" She asked, leading the way to the entrance way.

"Then shall we depart?" She asked, leading the way to the entrance way.

''Yes, I think we shall.'' Nicholas said following her. ''Sara, can we talk about something as we walk? Perhaps about ourselves or something. Just to know each other better.'' he said.

Sara made a gesture for him to begin as they began their walk down a path into a forest.

Sara made a gesture for him to begin as they began their walk down a path into a forest.

''Where to begin. My name is Nicholas Antonescu. I am the son of the Duke Of Blagoevgrad, I believe. Some of my interests include poetry and literature among other things. I hope you and I will get along. If I may ask, could you tell me about yourself? I would like to hear all you have to say.'' Nicholas said. ''This forest, does it have a name like the Black Forest does?'' he asked as they walked.

"I believe you know my name, and familial status." She commented, "As to my interests, they range various martial arts, to philosophy and many things in between. Do you have other questions? Oh, and the forest is the Forest of Death."

"I believe you know my name, and familial status." She commented, "As to my interests, they range various martial arts, to philosophy and many things in between. Do you have other questions? Oh, and the forest is the Forest of Death."

''I have similar intrests as you do.'' Nicholas said. ''Forest of Death? Is it called that because someone died here or something?'' he asked curiously. ''I don't really have other questions right now.'' he said. ''You like philosophy? Perhaps we can talk about that or we can talk about other topics. I know philosophy too. From Socrates to Confucius, I have done reading on most of them.'' he said.

"Actually it is called that because many people die, on a rather frequent basis." She replied, "As to debating philosophy, that depends on the impression you make on me, and daddy."

"Actually it is called that because many people die, on a rather frequent basis." She replied, "As to debating philosophy, that depends on the impression you make on me, and daddy."

''I understand. I have read on places with descriptions like the Forest of Death.'' Nicholas said. ''It depends on the impression I make? Then I will make sure I make a good one. And speaking of your father, may I get the chance to introduce myself to him?'' Nicholas asked. ''Thank you for allowing me to come to Theao.'' Nicholas said nicely before continuing the walk.

"That you must, and possibly." She replied, "How was I to judge you if not by meeting you?"

ooc: Will be gone(likely for the next about hour)

"That you must, and possibly." She replied, "How was I to judge you if not by meeting you?"

ooc: Will be gone(likely for the next about hour)

''That is good. And I know that you had to meet me to judge me. This I can understand.'' Nicholas said. ''Could we go through the city tonight if possible? It would be nice to, I am sure.'' he asked.

OOC-That is ok. Just reply when you are back.

"That would be fine." She replied, "Anything in particular, a club, opera?"

ooc: Will be available intermittenly for about next hour and a half.

"That would be fine." She replied, "Anything in particular, a club, opera?"

ooc: Will be available intermittenly for about next hour and a half.

''Anything would be fine. Clubs, Operas, they are all good.'' Nicholas said.

OOC-That is ok. As long as you can reply and all that.

"Alright." Sara replied as they walked, arriving at a fast flowing stream about two meters in width.

"Alright." Sara replied as they walked, arriving at a fast flowing stream about two meters in width.

''There is a fast flowing stream, I see.'' Nicholas said nicely. ''I have had a nice walk with you, Sara.'' he said.

"Don't you want to see what is on the other side?" She asked

"Don't you want to see what is on the other side?" She asked

''I never said I did not. Yes, let's go see what is on the other side of this stream.'' Nicholas said nicely. ''How will we get to the other side?'' he asked.

"Can you jump it, as that's my usual method of crossing." She commented

"Can you jump it, as that's my usual method of crossing." She commented

Before Sara finished, Nicholas had already jumped to the other side. ''I think I have already did, Sara.'' he said. ''Now you jump. I want to see what is on the other side as you said.'' Nicholas stated.

Sara preformed a flip across the stream with a flourish, landing upon her left hand before flipping up and onto her feet again.

''Are you into gymnastics or something?'' Nicholas said nicely. ''I am myself, if you want to know.'' he said. ''Shall we walk on?'' he asked.

"Martial arts, and yes we should continue." She replied as they headed deeper into the Forest of Death.

"Martial arts, and yes we should continue." She replied as they headed deeper into the Forest of Death.

''I have done some Martial arts too. I have practiced with many groups like Shaolin monks for example.'' Nicholas said. As they walked, he asked ''How big is this forest and what will we see when we are out of it?'' Then he asked ''When will we go to the city? Just confirming.''

"The forest is rather large, and we are headed away from the city you arrived in." She replied with a cryptic smile.

"The forest is rather large, and we are headed away from the city you arrived in." She replied with a cryptic smile.

''I see. Where are we going then?'' Nicholas asked. ''I would like to know so I know what is going on.'' he said.

"The getting there is half the fun, surely you do not wish to deprive me of that?" She asked

"The getting there is half the fun, surely you do not wish to deprive me of that?" She asked

''Of course I do not! I don't want to deprive you of fun.'' Nicholas said. ''Sara, you are a interesting woman and I respect you.'' he said. Then he continued to walk.

"Thank you." She replied with a smile. After they'd walked for about five minutes passed the stream, they came upon an steep cliff that was larger than the trees around them. "Our destination is up they're." She pointed to the top.

"Thank you." She replied with a smile. After they'd walked for about five minutes passed the stream, they came upon an steep cliff that was larger than the trees around them. "Our destination is up they're." She pointed to the top.

''Up there? I am sure it has a nice view.'' Nicholas said as he prepared to climb the cliff. ''You are welcome too.'' Nicholas said repling to Sara's thank you. ''Sara, this forest and the such has been well kept by your nation. It is clean not polluted.'' he said.

"Why would it be, there is no need for fossil fuels to corrupt the air, and the costs of dumping chemicals are far harsher and more expensive than disposing of them properly." She replied as she watched him climb.

"Why would it be, there is no need for fossil fuels to corrupt the air, and the costs of dumping chemicals are far harsher and more expensive than disposing of them properly." She replied as she watched him climb.

''I see. That stuff you said about fossil fuels and that may reflect Theao's policies.'' Nicholas stated.
As he climbed, Nicholas shouted ''Sara! Are you coming up too?'' After some time, Nicholas got on the top and waved at Sara and then began to watch the clouds.

"Of course." She replied as she examined her usual path. Leaping from stone to stone in a manner similar to a mountain goat, she quickly and easily scaled the cliff.

"Of course." She replied as she examined her usual path. Leaping from stone to stone in a manner similar to a mountain goat, she quickly and easily scaled the cliff.

''You must be good at martial arts and that.'' Nicholas said seeing her climb. ''So, you want to relax and that up here? I am mainly doing so myself.'' he said.

"We have more distance to cover, unless you want to spend the night in the Forest of Death?" She asked with a faint smile on her lips.

"We have more distance to cover, unless you want to spend the night in the Forest of Death?" She asked with a faint smile on her lips.

''If you want to, we can spend the night in this forest.'' Nicholas said.

"I asked if YOU wanted to stay, not whether I wanted to stay." Romanov commented

"I asked if YOU wanted to stay, not whether I wanted to stay." Romanov commented

''Sorry for that. Yes, I do want to stay.'' Nicholas said. ''By the way, since your last name is Romanov, do you have links to the Romanovs of Imperial Russia?'' Nicholas asked.

"Only distantly, but yes." She replied

"Only distantly, but yes." She replied

''Interesting. I have read on the Romanovs. Also, I believe I know people related to the Habsburgs.'' Nicholas said. ''Sara, I have something to give you (the gift) but I need you to close your eyes first.'' Nicholas said. ''I will give her the gift now, I hope she likes it.'' Nicholas thought.

"As you will, thought I must warn you not to try anything funny." Sara commented as she closed her eyes. I wonder what he'd say if he knew I could have climbed that cliff blindfolded. She mused as she waited.

ooc: Just a note(and don't take it as gosple) but frequently to show the difference between speech and thought, the thought is done in italics.

''I will not try anything funny. I am a man who respects women.'' Nicholas said.
''Here it goes.'' Nicholas said silently before taking out a box with jewels and that on it. ''You can open your eyes now.'' Nicholas said. Nicholas opened it and Sara saw a medal. The medal was gold with a red rose in the center. ''This is my gift to you.'' Nicholas said. ''Look, the writing around the rose says Patience is the key to paradise.'' He turned the medal around and said ''I engraved a poem for you on the back. It is one I made especially for you.'' ''The patience quote is a proverb. I did not know which proverb to put on the medal.'' ''I hope you like my gift.'' Nicholas said.

Sara took the medal. "It's lovely." She commented as she flipped it over to read the poem he'd picked out.

ooc: Will be racking out sometime soon.

ooc: Will be racking out sometime soon.

''Since I do poetry, I wrote the poem myself. I hope you like the one I chose for you.'' Nicholas said. ''I knew you would like my gift to you.'' Nicholas said politely.

OOC-I understand. Also, thanks for RPing with me.

"Thank you again." She replied as she returned the medal to it's box and but the box into a pocket. "Do you want to continue inward, or turn back?"

ooc: NP, you have a great deal of potential and are shaping up nicely.

ooc: NP, you have a great deal of potential and are shaping up nicely.

''You are most welcome.'' Nicholas said. ''Sara, let's continue inward.'' Nicholas said using his own unique ways to climb down. ''Do you want to spend the night out here like you mentioned before?'' he asked. ''And just to tell you, the medal is wearable.'' Nicholas said. ''Sara, did you know that I am very well learned in poetry, for example Haiku?'' Nicholas said.


OOC-Thank you for that compliment.

Sara leapt from the top of the cliff unto a branch of a nearby tree, then travelled down the branches to the ground. "I figured as much, and no I did not. As I said, it is up to you if we stay here, or return to the house."

''Let's go back to the house. I would like to see one of those clubs or operas.'' Nicholas said. Then he began to walk.....

OOC-Sorry for late reply.

"Lead the way." She replied, wondering if he remembered the twisting and oft time confusing route they'd taken to get here.

ooc: What late reply?
Also my posting schedule will likely be intermitten today.

ooc: What late reply?
Also my posting schedule will likely be intermitten today.

''I will then.'' Nicholas said. ''I know the route back, we will be home soon.'' Nicholas said. ''Sara, have you read the works of Lord Byron? I have myself. I also do Haiku. Would you like me to say a Haiku for you?'' he said.

"A few of them." She replied, "And sure."

"A few of them." She replied, "And sure."


As they walked, Nicholas began saying some Haiku for Sara. ''brilliant moon

''I know more Haikus than just these you know. Also, I told you the people who wrote the ones I said.'' Nicholas stated.

"Interesting, thought those are not your haiku." Sara commented

"Interesting, thought those are not your haiku." Sara commented

''I know but I like to read the Haiku of others too.'' Nicholas said. ''Sara, what is city life like in Theao? I would like some info on it.'' he asked.

"Depends on the city." She commented

ooc: Sorry about missing this. Four days is an acceptable gap for TGing someone about absence
