OOC:This thread is closed, if you really want to join, telegram Neo-Ixania or Greater Headhunters, we will telegram you if we want you or not.

IC:
The Imperial Comms Bunker

Kaiser Karl Von Donau-Schwob paced up and down the room. The telegram reply's of Neo-Ixania, Nicherwan and Ira Matris had not yet returned. Damnit! I want answers! So much can be done in this pact, but if we do not know the intentions of the other nations we can do nothing. We cannot even begin outlining the document because we do not know a single point with which to start with. Oh well, if the telegrams dont come in an hour I'll just hop off to bed.

It was then that his Comms Officer gave a shout. A telegram had arrived.

OOC:Please write in your posts what each of your messages say. Thank you!

"It pleases the Empire of Neo-Ixania to establish an alliance between the Empire and the nation of Greater Headhunters. The Foreign Ministry will send Mr. Friedrich Strauss to your nation to represent us."

It had only been recently that Friedrich Strauss, a diplomat of the Empire, had survived the Tzargrad Hotel Massacre; fighting the gunman with his wife, Wilhelmina (who had fought alone later in the massacre; being severely beaten in the process) but he did not feel the urge to retire from the Foreign Ministry; he decided to continue his life as a diplomat by attending the alliance negotiations in Greater Headhunters. His wife, Wilhelmina, wanted to go with him and he consented; she could help as his secretary (despite his real secretary was taking a break from work). Looking out the window, Friedrich thought about the Massacre and how he had seen the corpses of men, women and children; and how he was so joyful to see that his wife had survived.

When the plane landed, Friedrich walked outside with his wife to see the greeters waiting for him; and he knew that it would be a display of the host nation's power. "It will be nice to meet the Kaiser, Friedrich. I wonder what kind of man he is." Wilhelmina smiled at Friedrich; some of the wounds, etc still visible on her. Friedrich sighed and smiled at his wife before he held her hand and walked down the ramp to the limosuine.

Message to the Empire of Neo-Ixania

It pleases the Kaiser to hear that Herr Strauss will be coming to the Republic of Greater Headhunters to represent the Empire of Neo-Ixania's interests. Herr Strauss and his wife have arrived safely and will be meeting the Kaiser shortly.

At the GH Unity Airport

The Kaiser waited for what seemed like an hour (it was really only about ten minutes). Thoughts raced through his head, as crazy as What will these Ixanian's be like? Is Herr Strauss a man to be trusted? Will he turn out to be no more than another troddel? No, he couldnt be, he survived a massacre, as did his wife. Is the man a martial artist? Could he be epicly tall? He must be if he-

"Sir, we apperently missed the arrival of Herr Strauss and his wife." said a rather worried looking Adjutant of the Kaiser.

"What?" asked a rather red-faced Kaiser.

"Herr Strauss and his wife have just arrived at the Palace and are awaiting your arrival."

"You mean I have been waiting at this airport for the past hour *ten minutes, Sir* just so I could be made to look like an idiot and not greet the ambassador at the Palace?"

"Their plane did arrive about forty-five minutes earlier than the scheduled arrival time." said a distraught Adjutant.

"True.", the Kaiser than exploded, "But nobody could be bothered to tell me this in the meantime? *The lines were down Sir* Idioten! Fools! Du Troddeln! I should have you all shot for tarnishing our nation's international image!"

"Father?" asked Prinz Maximillian.

"Yes?" the Kaiser was looking angrier by the minute.

"Adjutant Wolfgang did say that the lines were down." replied the Prinz.

"He did?" asked the Kaiser, his face an ugly shade of puce.

"Yes." said a worried looking Prinz.

"You did?" asked the Kaiser again, his face beginning to turn into a more normal color.

"Yes." replied an even more worried looking Adjutant.

"Well than why didnt you say so?" half shouted, half asked the Kaiser.

Adjutant Wolfgang opened his mouth to begin to say something.

Kaiser Karl raised his hand to cut him off. "Back to the Palace we go then!" The Kaiser was looking cheerier by the minute.

"Oh dear." muttered Wolfgang and off he went.

Message to the Armed Republic of Greater Headhunters

Kaiser Karl von Donau-Schwob,

I, Rei* Maximo da Silva, will be sending my best delegate to your nation to represent the interests of the Empire of Ira Matris. Dama** Vanessa da Silva Bohito will be arriving shortly by way of air. She is my only daughter and I ask that you please protect her from harm. She knows seven languages, she is very intelligent, she is also quite beautiful, she loves the outdoors and she will take any challenger in any contest. Vanessa is single, but I do warn any suitors, she has a temper, she is stubborn and she is an excellent markswoman. I love my daughter very much and I am an even better marksman then she is. I do hope none of your young men get any ideas in those testosterone soaked brains of theirs. I wish all the men and women involved in writing this treaty good luck. I hope that this alliance brings peace and prosperity to our nations, that of Greater Headhunters, Neo-Ixania and Ira Matris.

Sincerely,
Rei Maximo da Silva

Friedrich and Wilhelmina waited at the palace for their host to arrive; assuming that he must be late to greet them. They were waiting in the lobby of the palace; passing the time by talking about various topics in German. They still remembered the massacre but decided to think and talk about more positive things. "I hope the Kaiser is a good man. He does have a nice palace, Friedrich, but that is expected when you meet monarchs."

Friedrich smiled at his wife; remembering when he met Lord Sumguy and Queen Hannah. "I am sure he is a good man, Wilhelmina; and I am sure that the representatives of the other nations will be nice to us. We may make new friends on a personal level during this meeting." Wilhelmina adjusted her blouse and smiled; she was dressed in an informal suit that did not hide her slender body; the scars of battle still on her hands. "I think that it is nice to be here; I doubt we have to fear any attacks."

Friedrich nodded his head in approval before he looked at the door; thinking he had heard the sound of footsteps. "I think our host has arrived, Wilhelmina."

The Imperial Palace

The doors slowly creaked open. In came a man that was akin to a bear in almost every way. He was huge, almost six feet eight inches. The hands of the man were gigantic, with thick sausage fingers. Each of his fingers had scars on them. On his right ring finger he wore the customary granite ring of the royalty of Greater Headhunters. On his left ring finger he wore the customary golden band of matrimony. His arms were of epic proportions, like hairy hams. His chest had the puff of a soldier and the pride of a general. His shoulders were broad and strong. His neck was thick as a tree trunk. Set on his face was a thick moustache, probably the thickest that Friedrich and Wilhelmina Strauss had ever seen. His eyebrows were also thick like the moustache. The nose that adorned the face was of no particular note, although it was a little larger than normal. The hair, black going grey, on his head was cut into a sort of military crew cut. The ears were just another adornment to the man's face, but then the eyes. It was his eyes that were so curious. They were like glints of white sunlight, only they were hazel. There was a fire there that drove this man onward.

He walked up to the ambassadors and stopped two feet away. The man bowed.

“Welcome, Herr and Frau Strauss, welcome to my country.” said the Kaiser.

"It is a pleasurable honor to meet you, Your Majesty and to be in your nation. Yes; I am Friedrich Strauss and this is my wife, Wilhelmina."

Friedrich and Wilhelmina bowed respectfully and raised their heads with smiles on their faces. "I look forward to beginning the meeting about our alliance, Your Majesty. As for my wife, she simply wanted to visit your nation and meet you."

Friedrich was dressed in a simple suit that still looked expensive while Wilhelmina wore a casual dress that was made for a wealthy woman; such clothes could be worn by diplomats and their wives. "Neo-Ixania would like to propose the creation of a student exchange program between all four nations; in order to allow them to learn more about the world around them."

Wilhelmina watched her husband talk to the Kaiser; she was inclined to simply watching him work. "Wilhelmina will be at the negotiations with me; serving as my secretary since my ordinary secretary took a break off work. I assume that we will have our meeting in of the rooms of this palace?"

"Yes. We will be meeting in the Orange Parlor Room tommorow at 9:00 am. Your exchange student program sounds wonderful. We will discuss further when all the delegates are present, which they shall be tommorow. Now if you would like a tour of the city I can arrange for a guide? Or would you rather rest, tonight there is to be a ball in the honor of all the delegates and ambassadors. I do hope you packed your dancing shoes, if not I can get the palace cobbler to make you a pair. He is very good at his work and can finish a pair within a half and hour.", the Kaiser suddenly brought his hand to his ear. He nodded, then said, "I have just gotten word that another of the ambassadors will be arriving within an hour, I am sorry, but I will have to leave you. If you need anything my Adjutant will be happy to help. Right Wolfgang?"

There stood a man to his left, a short, fidgetty, worried looking man. He nodded and said, "Yes!", in a high pitched and squeaky voice.

"Good. Please, make yourselves at home here. I do not want any of the intelligent ambassador's and their beautiful wives to go home and say that the nation of Greater Headhunters could not provide. I will see you in the evening, good bye." With that, the Kaiser turned and left the room, out the two french doors he had came in through.

OOC: Just so you know, Ira Matris is not a puppet state of mine. He is a friend from my school and I know his password. Sometimes I log on as him to see what he has recently done.

OOC: I understand; I will recreate my post then.

"We were told via the letter we recieved that there would be a ball so we each brought our dancing shoes; it will be nice for Wilhelmina and I to dance together. As for a tour of the city, I think that would be a good idea; perhaps we could have a tour of the palace."

Friedrich and Wilhelmina silently watched the Kaiser leave before they looked at Wolfgang; whose high-pitched squeaky voice reminded Wilhelmina of a character from an old cartoon that she used to watch. Walking towards him, Wilhelmina smiled at Wolfgang. "Sir, can you take my husband and I to our guest rooms?"

"I wonder if I will have to share a room with Wilhelmina...." Friedrich thought as he silently watched his wife talk to the high-pitch voiced adjutant.

"Of course", replied Wolfgang, "The the guest apartments are just two hallways away. Your baggage is already at your living quarters and while we walk there, I think I shall give you a small history of this palace..."

He motioned for them to follow him. They continued onwards to the apartments. Wolfgang continued talking the whole while. It was only about five minutes and they were there.

"Now, any qeustions?" asked Wolfgang.

"It was nice of you to give us a history of this palace. It looks like my wife and I will be sleeping in different rooms. Well, we both thank you for these rooms which are furnished and look like they were made for royalty; which is expected since this is a palace. Wolfgang, if I may call you by your name, when do you think we could have a tour of the city?"

"Of course you can call me by my name. It is much nicer than Adjutant, hmph. This afternoon? Or perhaps tommorow if you'd like?" replied Wolfgang, his brow was knotted in worry.

"I think we can have our tour this afternoon, Wolfgang." Friedrich said with a smile; Wilhelmina nodding her head in silent approval. "Before we go on our tour, my wife and I will unpack our items in our rooms."

Friedrich and Wilhelmina walked into their rooms and spent several minutes unpacking before they walked out of their rooms. "To be honest, Wilhelmina, I was wondering if we would share a room together." Wilhelmina playfully pushed Friedrich with a smile on her face before they found Wolfgang waiting for them.

Vanessa looked out across the airfield. Luiz, her pilot, said that he had never landed in an airport this large, nor had he seen so many military planes in one place. As she stepped out of the plane a group of important looking men ran to greet her. They were accompinyed by two buttlers who seeing her struggle with the luggage, sprinted to relieve her.

bump.

OOC: Oops, didnt see this!

GH Unity Airport

The Kaiser ran out to greet Dama Vanessa. God, but she was beautiful! Kaiser Karl knew which woman his son would be dreaming about tonight! He gave her a hug and a kiss on each cheek, the proper Matrisian protocol for greeting a King's daughter. "I hope your flight was not to tiring."
