A visit to a nation (Closed, ATTN: Magdha)
10 minutes from the Magdha capitol international airport
Martin Watson was very calm, this was 7th time visiting a overseas nation. He had sent a message a few days ago saying that he was visiting Magdha. The plane he was on, a Boeing 787 was quiet, so he slept for most of the trip.
Martin was very eager to tour Magdha and meet the Magdha President. He woke up when the pilot said on a speaker phone that they were lading any minute now.
OOC: Magdha, your move :D
Sorry for the short post
The Generalissimo himself was waiting, with dozens of bodyguards in tow. An orchestra began simultaneously playing the Magdha and Greal anthems as flags of both nations were unveiled. When the plane landed, the Generalissimo strode forward across the runway to greet the new arrivals.
The Generalissimo himself was waiting, with dozens of bodyguards in tow. An orchestra began simultaneously playing the Magdha and Greal anthems as flags of both nations were unveiled. When the plane landed, the Generalissimo strode forward across the runway to greet the new arrivals.
President Martin Watson waited for the plane to land, he hated this part of the trip, the plane landing at the airport. After the landing, the plane moved on for a minute then it halted, Martin unbuckled himself and walked out of the plane with his dozen Republican Guards, he saw the Magdha Generalissimo coming to greet him.
"Generalissimo, I', President Martin Watson."said Martin holding out his hand to shake.
Smiling, the Generalissimo returned the handshake. "Generalissimo J.L., at your service. This way, please," he said, gesturing to a nearby helicopter which would escort them to the Generalissimo's palace.
President Martin Watson followed the Generalissimo to the helicopter. His guards followed him, the other Greal guards would take cars to the palace.
The helicopter ascended from the helipad and sped off for the palace, arriving there about fifteen minutes later.
As the helicopter landed, President Martin Watson made a note of Magdha's land and the palace itself.
The Generalissimo stepped out of the helicopter. "Here we are."
The palace was absolutely gargantuan, spanning several miles, and towering hundreds of stories tall. It was surrounded by 20 ft. tall, 6 inch thick concrete walls topped with 5 feet of electrified chain link fences topped with poison-laced, razor-sharp barbed wire. On either side of the wall was a 20 ft. wide, 30 ft. deep moat filled with flesh-eating piranhas. Every 20 feet there was a guard tower, manned by several guards toting heavy machine guns. Vicious Dobermans, trained to tear intruders to shreds without a moment's hesitation, prowled the expanse by the thousands, as did highly-trained soldiers on foot. Helicopters and attack planes circled overhead. There were thousands of SAM launchers, and a 10 story underground bunker that was NBC proof. The place was, in short, a fortress.
A servant smiled, and with a small bow, led them to the palace entrance.

A servant smiled, and with a small bow, led them to the palace entrance.
"Very Impressive, my Presidential office back in Greal has the basic same thing." said Martin following the servant to the Palace Entrance, so far, Magdha seemed like a good opportunity to be a great ally of Greal.
As they entered, the lights all went out. A moment later, Martin and the Generalissimo found themselves in the Generalissimo's private office. "Sorry, Mr. President, just a security precaution. Now, would you like something to drink?"

"Sure, vodka or water should be fine."said Martin Watson who checked out the Generalissimo's private office, which was impressive to him, considering that Martin's office had dozens of people trying to talk with him.
A servant returned almost immediately with a golden tray, atop which were several glasses of different kinds of vodka and water, to ensure that at least one of them would be to the President's liking.

Martin Watson after a few moments took what he wanted and thanked the servant.
With a small bow, the servant left. Once they were alone, the Generalissimo asked, "So, Mr. President...what would you like to discuss first?"

"Well, before I tour you nation. I have recently seen events about.....Look Inc."said Martin Watson uneasily,"Look Inc is Greal's largest corporation, and has a very large private army. We are worried that they might....attack your nation, it has been done."
The Generalissimo laughed uproariously. "Magdha has a powerful military and scores of powerful allies. Attacking us would be suicide."
The Generalissimo laughed uproariously. "Magdha has a powerful military and scores of powerful allies. Attacking us would be suicide."
"I know, but Nick Saller is a crazy man, and he was done it before, and won, against an army 20 time bigger then Look Inc. Anyway, just a warning, our nation is being attacked by Leocardia, and I hope my commanders get the situation under control by the time I get back."
"There is nothing to worry about, Mr. President," the Generalissimo said, sipping his mojito. "Nothing at all."
"There is nothing to worry about, Mr. President," the Generalissimo said, sipping his mojito. "Nothing at all."
"Anyway, I would like to see a Museum in Magdha before I visit the rest of the country, is there a museum around here?"
"There are several in the capital."
"There are several in the capital."
"Can you recommend one?"
"Modesty forbids me from doing that," the Generalissimo said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, thinking of the capital's most famous museum; a museum dedicated to himself, of course. "I could, however, recommend some art museums..."
"Modesty forbids me from doing that," the Generalissimo said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, thinking of the capital's most famous museum; a museum dedicated to himself, of course. "I could, however, recommend some art museums..."
"Sure, any should be nice, later after visiting the art museums, I would like to have dinner with you, discussing the problems around the world."
"That would be fine," the Generalissimo said. "My chefs were trained at the world's finest culinary schools. The food they make is sublime. You will not be disappointed."
"Thank you, now if you would excuse me, I am going to the nearest art museum, I will be back in time for dinner." said Martin
"Very well. Enjoy."
OOC: I am going to skip time if you don't mind, like Martin gets back from visiting the museums. Is that alright?
Later around 6 PM, Martin returned from his visit to the art museum. The Museums in his opinion were better then the ones in Greal, since in Greal, you had to be checked 10 times for any bombs or weapons.
The Generalissimo was in the process of signing some death warrants for convicted Marxist agitators when Martin returned. He pushed the papers aside, folded his hands on his desk, and smiled. "So, how was it?"

"The art museum was excellent, better then the museums back in Greal. So where will the dinner be held?"
The Generalissimo smiled. "In the dining room (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/Roach-Busters/dining_room.jpg)."
Martin and the Generalissimo headed to the dining room, Martin had 2 guards following him.
Once everyone was seated, a tall, lanky, balding man with large, red, beefy hands, a pencil-thin, meticulously-trimmed moustache, and minuscule, intense deep blue eyes, appeared, wearing a toque blanche and a loose, billowing apron.
The Generalissimo gestured to the man. "This is Jean Jacques Petit, former head of the Crown Brûlée Culinary Institute. He has been trained by - and subsequently trained - dozens of the finest chefs in history. He is currently my head chef. Anything you want, just ask."

Martin though about it.
"Any food from Magdha is fine with me." said Martin
The chef looked confused. "Non, non, monsieur. Order whatever you like."
The chef looked confused. "Non, non, monsieur. Order whatever you like."
"I'll just have steak and a side dish of Sushi." said Martin, slightly annoyed.
"Very well, sir. How would you like your steak done?"
"Very well, sir. How would you like your steak done?"
"Medium." said Martin."And for drinks orange juice is fine."
The chef smiled. "Very well." With a bow and a flourish, he left for the kitchen, returning ten minutes later with a plate of sushi, featuring dozens of different kinds of fish, a plate with a 15-ounce steak cooked to perfection, and two tall, cold glasses of freshly squeezed, homemade orange juice. "I did not know if you preferred pulp or no pulp, so I brought one of each. Enjoy your meal, sir."

"Thank you." said Martin, then he start to eat, he did like both glasses anyway.
"So, Generalissimo, Greal is currently under attack by a nation called Leocardia. You do not support them correct?"
The Generalissimo frowned. Leocardia? Had he even interacted with them? He wasn't sure. He had made so many friends and enemies over the years, with literally hundreds of nations, that it was very easy for him to lose track. "Well, they're not a Magdhan ally, if that's what you mean," he said.

"Thats good to know. The Leocardians want to make Greal into one of their puppets, and we are wondering if you sell arms."
"Well, we have no major defense companies, if that's what you mean," the Generalissimo said. "However, we will happily give you some of our retired, but still perfectly functioning, equipment."
"Well, we have no major defense companies, if that's what you mean," the Generalissimo said. "However, we will happily give you some of our retired, but still perfectly functioning, equipment."
"I would like to know more about this "retired" equipment."said Martin.
"First, let me ask: What would be most helpful? I mean, what equipment are you in need of most? Tanks? Aircraft?" the Generalissimo asked.
"First, let me ask: What would be most helpful? I mean, what equipment are you in need of most? Tanks? Aircraft?" the Generalissimo asked.
"Aircraft, and anti-ship missiles, you have any for sale?"asked Martin
"For sale? No. For free? Yes." The Generalissimo smiled.
"For sale? No. For free? Yes." The Generalissimo smiled.
"Well, we do wish to know the stats of these missiles and aircraft."
"Would you be interested in receiving some TSF-620A "Xeon" Air Superiority Fighters we purchased from Tyrandis several years back?"
"Would you be interested in receiving some TSF-620A "Xeon" Air Superiority Fighters we purchased from Tyrandis several years back?"
"Sure, how many do you have that can be "given" away? In exchange several Greal companies have expressed interest in investing in Magdha, but since Look Inc dominated. some of the market, they are "afraid'.
"We have 10,000. Obviously, delivering them all would be a very expensive, cumbersome, and lengthy process, so I would assume you only want a fraction of that number."
"We have 10,000. Obviously, delivering them all would be a very expensive, cumbersome, and lengthy process, so I would assume you only want a fraction of that number."
"Well, I was thinking maybe 700 for now, and deliver them by air, since Greal is blockaded. What about the anti-air missiles, you have stats for those?"
{OOC: I use RL missiles, so whatever ones I use, you would probably already have.}
IC:
"I will make arrangements to have them delivered as soon as possible," the Generalissimo promised.

"Thank you, now, there are several Greal oil companies interested in selling oil to Magdha, or "look" for oil in Magdha."
"That sounds excellent."
"I assume there are plenty of oil reserves in Magdha. Anyway, I was wondering if any of your troops want to serve in Greal, disguised as Greal soldiers."
The Generalissimo smiled. "I think that can be arranged."
The Generalissimo smiled. "I think that can be arranged."
OOC: Would you be willing to RP them in the Greali Coup thread?
"Ok, well, are there any issues you want to put forth?"
{OOC: I'll see what I can do.}
IC:
"Nothing comes to mind at the moment. Is there anything else you wish to discuss?"
{OOC: I'll see what I can do.}
IC:
"Nothing comes to mind at the moment. Is there anything else you wish to discuss?"
"Well, I have nothing else in mind, the steak is excellent, and your chef is excellent." said Martin trying to think what else the Generalissimo and him should talk about.
"Is there anything else I can do to help?"
"Well, maybe a economical embargo of Leocardia will make my economy ministers happy." said Martin smiling.
"Whatever trade we have with Leocardia is probably minuscule, but all the same, I will impose a full embargo."
"Whatever trade we have with Leocardia is probably minuscule, but all the same, I will impose a full embargo."
"I know, but its symbolic for my people."
"Very well."
"Well, anyway, what is the tallest building in Magdha?"
"I'm not sure, we have so many skyscrapers, each seemingly taller than the last, that it's very easy to lose track."
"I'm not sure, we have so many skyscrapers, each seemingly taller than the last, that it's very easy to lose track."
"Well, I was planning on visiting the tallest."
The Generalissimo shrugged. "I'm sorry, but I do not know which one that is. I pay little attention to such matters."
The Generalissimo shrugged. "I'm sorry, but I do not know which one that is. I pay little attention to such matters."
"I shall know tomorrow, right now, its getting late, where shall I sleep tonight?"asked Martin.
"My servants will show you to your room (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/Roach-Busters/guestsquarters.jpg)," the Generalissimo said.
"My servants will show you to your room (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/Roach-Busters/guestsquarters.jpg)," the Generalissimo said.
"Thank you for the dinner again, and I am looking forward to breakfast tomorrow. Good Night, Generalissimo" said Martin, then he followed the servant to his room.
"Good night, Martin. If you need anything at all, do not hesitate to ask one of my servants." The Generalissimo bade the President good night with a salutory nod, and headed in the opposite direction toward his chamber.

Martin thanked the servants and asked for a glass of water. Then he went to bed after receiving the glass.
OOC: Your next post can be the next morning.
As always, the Generalissimo awakened on the dot at 5:00 A.M., not a second before nor a second after. He immediately leapt out of bed, stretched, and got dressed. After shaving his chin, neck, and cheeks, he trimmed his moustache, showered, brushed his teeth, and went to the dining room, where he helped himself to his first of three cups of coffee, and ordered a servant to go see if Martin was awake.

Martin was awake early, since his body was not used to Magdha time. Martin had already showered, brushed his teeth, shaved and dressed, when the servant came, he told the servant he would be downstairs in a minute.
As the Generalissimo waited patiently for Martin, he decided to practice his shooting skills. Drawing a pistol, he motioned for a servant to stand 200 yards away and begin juggling six eggs. Aiming carefully, the Generalissimo fired off six perfectly timed, well-aimed shots; each shot connected with an egg dead-center, and the servant was soon covered in runny egg yolks. The Generalissimo smiled. "I'm glad my skills have not faded with age."

Martin came down , he was slightly alarmed after hearing 6 gunshots, but he assumed it was something else, and he was right, he went into the dining room and greeted the Generalissimo.
The Generalissimo smiled. "Good morning, Mr. President. I was just, erm, practicing." He put the pistol away. "So, what would you like for breakfast?"

Thats explains the shots I heard
"Eggs and bacon sounds fine, Pancakes are also fine with me." said Martin.
The servant nodded, and fifteen minutes later, returned with the food.

"Thank you." said Martin he began eating slowly. As he ate his food, he was wondering if the Generalissimo was a former soldier.

The Generalissimo eyed Martin, who seemed to be deep in thought. "Was there something you wished to ask?"
The Generalissimo eyed Martin, who seemed to be deep in thought. "Was there something you wished to ask?"
"Well, are you a former soldier? I served in the Special Ops for 5 years before I joined the government." asked Martin.
"Former? I have served in the military since I was a teenager, and remain in uniform to this day. Of all my accomplishments in this world, none make me prouder than my military service. My only dream," the Generalissimo said, a dreamy look on his face, "is to one day attain the rank of field marshal."

My only dream," the Generalissimo said, a dreamy look on his face, "is to one day attain the rank of field marshal."
"You are rule of Magdha, you are in charge of all the troops in Magdha, thats more then a Field Marshal can run. My highest rank was Major General before I went into politics, I'll never do that again."
"I earnestly hope that one day I can become a marshal. True, I could simply promote myself, but I want to legitimately earn it."
"I earnestly hope that one day I can become a marshal. True, I could simply promote myself, but I want to legitimately earn it."
"I see." said Martin smiling at the Generalissimo's use of words."Well, today, I have a busy day, I do wish to visit some of Maghda's best Tourist sites."
"Oh, you could never visit all of them in just one day. We have quite a lot." The Generalissimo smiled.
"Oh, you could never visit all of them in just one day. We have quite a lot." The Generalissimo smiled.
"Do you have a list?" asked Martin.
The Generalissimo nodded. "I can print one off for you."
The Generalissimo nodded. "I can print one off for you."
"Thank you."
OOC: Does Magdha have any beaches? Any famous harbors? Any zoos?
"You're welcome."
{OOC: Yes, yes, and yes. Hell, the Generalissimo's palace grounds has one of the largest zoos in the world. ;)}
"You're welcome."
{OOC: Yes, yes, and yes. Hell, the Generalissimo's palace grounds has one of the largest zoos in the world. ;)}
"I would like to start with visiting that zoo that is on the palace grounds, is that alright?"asked Martin.
"Certainly."
Martin and the Generalissimo began "touring" the zoo.
OOC: Does Magdha have a "special animal"?
{OOC: Not exactly, but the zoo has just about any animal you can think of.}
{OOC: Not exactly, but the zoo has just about any animal you can think of.}
Martin enjoyed the zoo, he liked the tigers, though they were asleep, even though in Greal they always moved because every once in awhile, the Greal zoo keepers set loose a rabbit in the Tiger pen. Martin then asked:
"So, Generalissimo, are you married?"
"Yes, I am. You?"
"No, maybe I'll find a wife overseas, thats how my cousin did."joked Martin
The Generalissimo grinned playfully. "Magdhan women are quite attractive. Quite attractive. Regardless of your taste in women, I can guarantee you will find someone to your liking. Magdha is literally one of the most diverse nations in the world, with no majority group."
The Generalissimo grinned playfully. "Magdhan women are quite attractive. Quite attractive. Regardless of your taste in women, I can guarantee you will find someone to your liking. Magdha is literally one of the most diverse nations in the world, with no majority group."
"Greal woman are also the same." said Martin, he was not really good at this woman thing, though he was president of Greal, which would impress most women."Anyway, I might meet someone here......"
The Generalissimo chuckled. "I do have several attractive female servants," he said, and winked.
The Generalissimo chuckled. "I do have several attractive female servants," he said, and winked.
Oh no
Martin decided to change the subject.
"Well, I would like to know where are we having Lunch." said Martin, that was the first subject that could come up to his mind.
The Generalissimo could sense Martin's discomfort and inwardly chuckled. Not letting on that he knew the reason for the abrupt change in conversation, he cleared his throat, replied, "Why, anywhere we want. I have a lovely lake out back - man, or rather, Shooban made - where I sometimes take the Missus for picnics. It's quite gorgeous, especially in the evening, when the sun is setting."

Oh, more beautiful scenes
Martin was sensing that the Generalissimo might set him up.
"Well, the lake sounds beautiful, we have similar lakes in Greal." said Martin.
"I see. Which reminds me...do you enjoy fishing?"
"I see. Which reminds me...do you enjoy fishing?"
"I enjoy fishing, why?"
"I enjoy fishing, why?"
"Oh, just curious. I fish from time to time, when I get the chance. Never on vacation, because I have never taken a single vacation during my rule, or even a single day off, excluding hospitalizations, or that time I was committed to a mental asylum after my second wife died."
"Oh, just curious. I fish from time to time, when I get the chance. Never on vacation, because I have never taken a single vacation during my rule, or even a single day off, excluding hospitalizations, or that time I was committed to a mental asylum after my second wife died."
Martin was slightly taken aback.
"Well, I guess we could go fishing, at the lake you just mentioned?"
"It'd be my pleasure. I enjoy fishing quite a bit, though not as much as hunting."
"It'd be my pleasure. I enjoy fishing quite a bit, though not as much as hunting."
"Ok, when do we leave for the fishing?"asked Martin still afraid of a "set up".
"Any time you wish."
"You have fishing equipment for both of us?"
"I do."
"Ok, lets go, I need a break myself."said Martin, he was aware that his guards were following him 10 paces behind, and he also on the watch for any "woman servants."
Ten minutes later, they reached the Generalissimo's boat. An elderly, kind, hearing-impaired man of British stock named Thomas, garbed in a sailor's attire, was at the helm. After introductions and pleasantries were exchanged between Martin and Thomas, the boat made its way to the center of the lake, where Thomas anchored the boat. The Generalissimo handed Martin a fishing rod, grabbed one for himself, and then cast his line, almost immediately feeling a small tug. "Heh, they're really biting today."

“Seems like it.” Said Martin he had trouble getting any fish, considering that he hadn’t gone fishing in 10 years, and his skills needed to be “found.”
OOC: Maybe the Generalissimo could set up Martin :D
The Generalissimo triumphantly held up a 15 pound fish. "Here's lunch."
{OOC: Sure, if you'd like.}

"Well, I only caught this", Martin had caught a 8 pound fish that had struggled hard, but eventually gave up.
OOC: Ok, go ahead
"So, Martin, are you...erm...looking for someone? For your future, I mean."
"So, Martin, are you...erm...looking for someone? For your future, I mean."
Martin eyed him for a second, slightly suspicious again.
“Well, I’m not married, and I’m single so yes I am, why?”
"Just asking, my good man. Just asking."
"Just asking, my good man. Just asking."
Martin remained suspicious as they headed back to the palace to eat their catch.
"This is going to be delicious," the Generalissimo said. "Nothing tastes better than food you caught yourself."
"This is going to be delicious," the Generalissimo said. "Nothing tastes better than food you caught yourself."
"Yes, I agree." said Martin taking the fish he caught and handing it to the chef.
Half an hour later, two large plates of freshly broiled, lightly seasoned fish fillets were placed in front of the two heads of state. "Bon appetit," the Generalissimo said, and dug in.

Martin smiled at the Generalissimo's use of words and began eating, he still was unsure of what the Generalissimo would do.
As the two men ate, an extremely pulchritudinous, voluptuous-figured servant with shoulder-length raven black hair and a baby-smooth face walked past. The Generalissimo motioned to her, and she walked over. "President Martin, this is Erika, one of my maids." She gave him a seductive smile.

Oh great, hes done it
"Hello, Erika, I'm president Martin Watson." said Martin who was not very good at this.
OOC: Didn't notice
"Hello, Mr. President." She shook his hand lightly.
The Generalissimo cleared his throat. "I, ahem, have something to, uh...attend to. Why not get yourselves acquainted with one another before I get back?" The Generalissimo hurried out of the room.

Martin now became slightly nervous, he managed to keep himself from sweating.
"So, Erika, how long have you been a maid?"asked martin with the only question that he could think of.
"About two years now."
"I see."said Martin, he was trying to estimate how old Erika is.
"Is something wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong, well, actually plenty is wrong, but I shouldn't worry you." said Martin.
"No, it's all right," she said, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. "If you need someone to talk to, I'll be happy to listen."
"No, it's all right," she said, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. "If you need someone to talk to, I'll be happy to listen."
I got walked into this trap
"Well, we have problems back home, some nation has invaded Greal and the situation is bad, I have plenty of problems myself, usually by the time you're 30, you are supposed to be married, but I haven't.....found someone I like."
"Hey," she said. "Not everyone finds their special someone right away. You will find someone. I promise."
"Hey," she said. "Not everyone finds their special someone right away. You will find someone. I promise."
"I will have to, or else the leader of my family, Sarah Watson, will send more messages to me saying "Find Someone!", Sarah is not exactly on good terms with me." said Martin thinking about the old times in Greal.
Another servant walked in. "It seems Papa will be...held up longer than he anticipated. He apologizes for the inconvenience. Oh, and Miss Villanueva, you are relieved of duty for today."
Once the servant was gone, Erika asked, "So, would you like to...oh, I don't know...catch a movie? Papa - that is, the Generalissimo - has his own movie theater."

She laughed. "Just about any you can think of."

"Well you choose, I'm not really good at choosing films."said Martin,"Where is the theater?"
"Just half a kilometer east of the palace itself."
"Just half a kilometer east of the palace itself."
"Well, lets go." said Martin getting up, and heading to the theater with Erika.
At the theater, she asked, "Which movie would you like to watch?"

"Well, you can choose, like I said, I'm not really good at choosing films to watch." said Martin looking at the movie posters.
"What kind of movies do you like?"
"What kind of movies do you like?"
"Action movies, or romance movies, sometimes others."
"Me, too," she said.
"Just choose a movie from Magdha."
"How about The Life and Times of Our Dear and Loving Papa, Generalissimo J.L. the Great?"
"How about The Life and Times of Our Dear and Loving Papa, Generalissimo J.L. the Great?"
"I.... guess thats fine." said Martin
OOC: Are the movie tickets for free? :D
"It's a wonderful movie, all about Papa and his heroic exploits. He truly is the greatest person that ever lived.
{OOC: Since it's on the Generalissimo's property, only people he knows personally get to use the theater. So, yes, they are free. :)}

"Ok, lets go see it." said Martin going with Erika into the theater. One of these days, I'll make my own film about my life.
The movie was pretty much what one would suspect: Very heavy on propaganda, very light on historical accuracy, and filled with almost non-stop action. The script was fairly well written, and of course the special effects were top-notch.

"Very good film. The Generalissimo seems like the best leader of Magdha." said Martin as the movie neared the end.
She smiled. "Papa is amazing. He truly is the savior of our nation and people. If he hadn't saved us, our nation would be worse off than Somalia by now."

"Same for Greal, if my Grandfather hadn't rebel and taken over Greal, Greal would be in a state of chaos forever." said Martin, he was still a little nervous about Erika, and what would happened later with her......
She put her hand on his. "Relax," she said, smiling. "You don't have to be nervous around me. I don't bite."
She put her hand on his. "Relax," she said, smiling. "You don't have to be nervous around me. I don't bite."
Martin was steadily getting more nervous, though as a leader, he did try to hide it.
"You want to have dinner with me?" asked Martin.
Her eyes alight, she nodded eagerly. "I would love to," she said.
“Ok, I don’t know any good places here, but I’m certain I’ll find one.”
"Do you like Italian?"
“Italian is fine.”
"The Generalissimo's aunt and uncle own a wonderful restaurant in the capital."
"The Generalissimo's aunt and uncle own a wonderful restaurant in the capital."
"Then lets go there." said Martin, he looked at the time, it was 5:00 Pm, and the movie had taken up more time then martin had originally thought.
"Sounds good. Let's go."
Martin had to follow Erika to the restaurant since he did not know the way there.
{OOC: Let's wrap this up soon.}
IC:
Half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance to the restaurant. "Here we are."

Martin requested a table for two, and he sat down and looked at the menu.
"If you would like me to recommend something, I will," she said.
"If you would like me to recommend something, I will," she said.
"Sure go ahead." said Martin
OOC: I don't really know much Italian food :D
She smiled. "I usually order penne rigate with alfredo sauce. Very delicious. If you're a fan of pizza, I would also recommend that. They make excellent pizza."

"Pizza it is then." said Martin
Later, after dinner, she bade him farewell with a peck on the cheek. "Thanks for meeting with me, Martin. I hope we can meet again someday.

" I hope so to, Erika." said Martin, then he headed back to the Palace to see if he could find the Generalissimo.
The Generalissimo, unfortunately, was unavailable for the remainder of the week due to some pressing assignments which had unexpectedly come up. "He apologizes for whatever inconvenience this may cause you," one of his servants said. "Have a safe flight home, Mr. President."

"Tell him thank you for me." said Martin, he packed up his few bags, and left for the airport, his guards arrived and they left Magdha on a Boeing 787. Martin had alreay missed Erika, and he hoped that he would see her again.
OOC: Well, great trip RP. :D
