From the Office of the Marquisate...

Fifth Monarchy
07-04-2008, 06:22
A young man, appearing to be of an age no greater than that of twenty, rose quietly from his seat. His deep, penetrating oculars peered from their mildly-sunken sockets as his tongue rolled eloquently across his parched, pink lips. As his optics surveyed the environment – from mahogany shelves and wall paneling, to the ivory pen his devoted sire scribed with – he noted the overall, deep tones of alizarin that seemed to permeate from ever, non-gilded facet of the office. Outside, the sun was setting, glowing – once more – in a crimson tone through the dyed curtains of the fifteenth-story chamber.

“Cerise,” announced the grey-haired gentlemen before him, drawing his attention to him.

“Yes, magnus,” the younger man’s voice echoed, just below the baritone ramblings of his “magnus”. His voice, however, did resound with the apparent accent of a man from East of the Danube, an apparent Cossack or Little Russian accent. He drew closer, however, meeting his sire’s demand for attention, steadying himself on the plush, Persian carpeting as his shoes faintly drug against the flooring. Cerise fixated his oculars down on the parchment – a parchment of such fine quality, many believed that with the over-abundance of consumer capitalism in this world, true artisanship such as this would never be found again – noting the defining seal of the Aristocracy of the Fifth Monarchy’s all to present Marquisate. A faint chill rolled across his barely-protruding spinal column, causing his alabaster skin – though he remains keval – to ripple with so many bumps and ridges of pure intimidation and fear.

“I know you’re merely a Chevalier,” resounded the seated gentleman, his hands crossing the parchment to pinch and fold it in an oh-so-appropriate fashion, before abruptly stamping it shut with a gold-leaf seal of the Marquisate. “But do you think you could deliver this letter to the Secretariat for further production and delivery?”

“Yes, magnus,” the Chevalier responded, his figure only moving to grip the parchment. Yet, as his digits coiled against the finely-woven papyrus, the seated soul lunged, his skeletal, corpse-like digits curling about Cerise’s thin, boney wrist.

“Cerise,” his lips coiled beneath the shadow of his bangs, an eerie hue cast across his façade as the last of the sun’s rays pierced the curtains, “Have a good day…” The magnus’ grin broadened into a smirk as he released the keval, immediately noting the small amount of color that was in the post-adolescent’s cheeks had faded to a pure ivory hue.

“Th-thank you, magnus,” rolled – more like tumbled – from Cerise’s lips, before he quickly pivoted and stepped from the office, closing the door behind him, taking a minor note of the phrase “Pierre Alphonse de Rothschild – Executor of the Rothschild Banque in Paris” being engraved and plastered with gold-inlay on the oaken doors to his sire’s office. As he began exiting the main corridor to his office, he noted the approach of a young, voluptuous, brunette-haired woman drawing nearer. She smiled at him, tilting her sunglasses to his young physique as their collective absence narrowed, smirking to expose her jagged ivories to the already-startled keval.

Cerise simply nodded…

Soon enough, he had traveled his desired distance, pressing the third-to-last button on the elevator of the “Rothschild Banque”. He chuckled to himself – now calmer – as his digit left the “untitled” button. Employees were forbidden from going to these floors without expressed permission from “Executor Rothschild”. Even Cerise held within the confines of his blazer, the hand-written warrant and writ, stamped in an archaic manner with the Rothschild seal, and signed by his sire himself. Yet, what intrigued him now was not his “permissional writ”, but the letter he held in his hand. He titled it, looking about it, but became startled as a small note fell from the open side of the parchment. Cerise looked toward the hands of the elevator, Still six floors, he pondered, flipping open the small note and reading:

“To all major business leaders, heads of state and government, etc. etc.

“By order to the Marquisate, we will break the Veil.”

Cerise stood stunned, his eyes shuddering in their sockets as faint droplets of drool collected on the tips of his elongated canines, dripping to a small pool of saliva in the base of his mandible. Breaking the Veil? his mind screamed, Why did the Marquisate order this?! We’ll be hunted like dogs again! Yet, before Cerise had the chance to do much, the doors to the Secretariat opened. He nearly jumped, startled by Madame Secretariat herself.

“Is this for me,” announced the particularly buxom blonde before him. Her eyes peered up and down Cerise’s form. She noted the small note he was half-inserting back into the folded letter, “You know, Cerise, you’re not supposed to read those… Too bad I can’t turn you in…”

“Wh-why is that, Madame Secretariat?” Cerise was once again gripped by fear. Though he was a vau, he could still feel the pure intimidation and antagonistic personality that was virtually dripping from most of the strigoi – including the Madame Secretariat.

“Because,” she grinned, leaning close, pressing her faux-lush lips against his cheek as she jerked the letter from his hands and slapped the “First Floor” button on the elevator as she departed, “You’re too fucking handsome.” She smiled, waving her elongate digits as the doors closed, leaving Cerise with his perishing thoughts.

Breaking the Veil...? Are they insane…?

Formal Epistle
&
Letter of Credence

Office of the Marquisate of the Aristocracy of the Fifth Monarchy
Fonction du Marquis du Aristocratie du Cinquième Royauté
Stelle des Marquis des Aristokratie des Fünft Monarchie
Oficina de la Marquisate de la Aristocracia de la Quinto Monarquía

To Whom it May Concern, in the Most Esteemed Manner,

On behalf of the Marquisate of the Aristocracy of the Fifth Monarchy, you are hereby contacted to request the opening of relations and the formal placement of credence and recognition – of all means.
The Fifth Monarchy and it’s government (the Marquisate) is the collection of over five millennia of tradition, culture, and foundation – since before the Birth of the Human God YHVH (Jehova, Yawneh, etc., etc.) and the formulation of the Accuser and Opponent of Him. The Fifth Monarchy is not a nation-state as conceived on human foundations, but a united culture – filled with different nationalities and ethnicities – from around the world. We are all, regardless, tied by a single unifying factor: We are Vau. We are marked by our subsistent need of sanguivitae and the near-animalistic need for that luscious communion.
As such, due to the growth of human development, the growing power of consumer capitalism, and the “shrinking” of the world brought about by global communications and enterprise, the Marquisate and the Assembly of the Royal Blood has authorized the “Breaking of the Veil” and the revealing of ourselves to the rest of humanity. Not for malicious or un-truthful purposes, but for the creation of a global, united culture and society in which vau and homo sapiens can converse and interact with one another, without the horrid assumption that one will strike or destroy the other.
As such, most esteemed delegates, we request acknowledgement, recognition, and diplomatic credence for the purpose of fostering friendship, a greater understanding of one another’s culture, and a growth in business brought about by the revealing of ourselves across the world as already present in business and global commerce.
Some of you, mostly individuals who foster a sense of religious fanaticism within themselves, will immediately decry us as agent of the Devil, apostates, or “generally insane”. Perhaps the latter is true – if We may so flatter a bit of humor here – but We are neither Devil’s or apostates, for none of Us deny the existence of the Creator. As such, We question those who seek to condemn us: Are you motivations brought on by faith, or your political enterprise?
Therfore, without further adieu, We do hope this epistle has found you healthy and well, and We hope to hear from you soon. We hope that this Breaking of the Veil will not bring us back to a reactionary past of burnings and trials, but to a new future of prosperity and progress.

Sincerely,
Pierre Alphonse de Rothschild
Acting Representative of the Marquisate

Pierre sat in his leather-lined chair, peering out into the night-sky of Paris, smirking as his beloved lover trailed her nude form to sit upon his bare knee. He lifted the small, crystalline glass to his lips, tilting his head to allow the vermillion-hued fluid to gently glide across his lips, down his esophagus, and into his thirsting gullet. As he drank, his lover began to speak, “So, my dearest,” she grinned, nipping her canine across his cheek, lightly lapping at his scruffy appearance, “Any new business today?” She smiled, sliding herself from his formature, lightly placing her lips against his inner thigh, nibbling in a teasing, seductive, and perverse manner, slowly closing on his apparent…

“Yes, darling,” he smirked, his attention not drawn away by her insistence, but kept forward on the twinkling of the lights of Paris, “I did have some new business.” Pierre set aside his glass, leaning back in his chair as his darling rose from her askew profession.

“Well,” she perked, licking her frosted lips faintly, “What was it?” Her tone was insistent, and one could tell by her speech that she should never be afforded a title of nobility. This fact Pierre pondered, noting that “the only thing she is good for is her damn assets and talents”.

“Nothing major, beloved,” at this point, he curled his digits against the wooden skeleton of his chair, a malign grin covering his visage, “Just lined-up a few pigs, nothing major…”




(OOC: I wrote here a very, very, very long time ago as “Fascist Confederacy”, “Laurasia”, and a few other nations. Now, since – for some reason – mods had me “banned” , I’m back since – apparently – that glitch has been fixed.

Those who know me from NO/WaP, I was "Kyrusia", "Midian", "Armed Workers' Movement for a Global Revolution", and various others.

So, you’re welcome to send other letters, condemn, inquire, request conferences, etc. But remember, this Aristocracy doesn’t have a fixed location. It is [i]assumed that they are present globally. But, I’m kind enough to not simply godmod, nor do I want to do anything against your country. Most of – if not all of my RP’s – will be character-based or storytelling-based.

Thank you.

P.S.: I do follow the doctrines of “assumed secret IC” and “all major RP’s are pre-planned”.)

Louis Riese sat in the small chair in his office, peering over several papers as his lover slumbered in the room ajacent to the one he himself dwelled within. Now adorned in a simple, unbuttoned silk shirt, trousers, and other appropriate garments, the young, muscular “student of the world” marked over various papers – some from varying departments of the Aristocracy, others from keval in isolated parts of the world, and even further intrigues within his personal sphere. Yet, suddenly, interrupted from his solitude, a young girl – appearing to be of an age that could not be older than that of a seventeen year-old juvenile – entered his chamber, smiling almost brightly to Louis as she positively “glowed” with happiness and delight. However, she noted Louis’ general ignorance of her presence; therefore, in a very demanding manner, she flung herself upon his desk, placing her face only inches from his own, resting her well-defined jaw upon her palms – her right hand containing some folded parchment.

“Good morning, Louis,” she grinned, her gait exposing – much to her intent, Louis was positively sure – her cleavage to the gentleman. “Did you sleep well?”

“Do I ever sleep well?” he leaned back in an almost futile attempt to ignore the girl – or, more specifically, her increasingly delicious form. “I’m always tossing and turning, Jezebel. I always have too much on my mind; or I always have too much to do.” He sighed, placing a thin cigarette between his lips, striking a match, and inhaling the first puff as the tip of the cancerous lesion glowed brightly.

“Well,” Jez – as she was commonly known around the Riese Estates, “You know,” by this point, she had situated herself into such a way that her flourishing bosom was virtually pressed against his hungering lips, “Maybe if you let me lay with you sometimes, you’d sleep better.” The apparently seventeen year-old bait leaned closer, pressing her lips to Louis’ ear, gently nibbling on the dangling lobe, “What am I saying,” she whispered, rolling the tip of her exceptionally-dry tongue against his cartilage, a cold-breath rolling against his jaw-line, “If I slept up here, you’d never get any sleep…” At this, she abruptly jumped-back, giggling as she sat atop his desk.

“Jezebel,” Louis straightened his shirt, using a quaint act of futility to try and compose his emotions, “Is there any news from the Marquisate or the Assembly?” He pushed her back some, allowing him to re-position himself in such a way that he could avoid direct eye-contact with the insistent girl, but still manage to search through and look over his briefs and reports.

“Perhaps,” Jezebel quirked, dangling the letter before his face. She laughed as he snatched once, then twice; yet, she was incapable of presenting the bait to him a third time, as his digits had previously coiled about her wrist, locking tightly. His grip was firm – too firm if her wrist had been that or a human female – but not painful to her, only leaving a faint, azure phosphorescent tinge to her flesh after he release, gripping the folded paper from her digits. “Fuck-ass,” she snarled, slurring the almost childish insult to her sire, only warranting a faint chuckle from him as she propelled herself from his desk, coming to rest quaintly in the one of the small chairs before his desk, nibbling at one of her cheaply-manicured nails.

“So what is it?” Jez inquired after several moments of silence, allowing Louis to open and exam the letter in peace – something she did not afford him frequently.

“The Marquisate has agreed to Break the Veil,” his eyes narrowed faintly as he finished reading the letter, “Apparently under the jurisdiction of the Ephrahim Marka and the Marquis de Rothschild. Brilliant…” He folded the paper, tossing it lightly to his desk, lighting a second cigarette of the morning – something rare for a man that only smoke three day.

“Are they fuckin’ stupid!” Jezebel shouted, “Not only have they broke tradition, but they’re endangering all of us! I mean, sure the Catholics don’t have as much power as they used to, but they still can order an Inquisition if they have to! Look at what happened in Parma! Hell, the damn homonoths killed fifteen Chevaliers and a strigoi!” She snarled, slinging herself about his office – much to his displeasure, but not absent of his understanding. “Who gives them the right to do this?! What makes them think they can just jeopardize over six millennia of sacrifice and pain?!”

“Jezebel,” Louis interjected, “You need to lower your voice… You know what the Marquisate has done to people who speak out against them. I’d hate to have to sanction an exulation order of you.” Louis rose form his seat, raising his arms and grappling them about Jezebel, enveloping her in a firm, almost fatherly embrace, “We gave them that power in 1800 when the Veil was created. We signed away some of our individual power in order to secure ourselves from persecution and extermination – whether by the Catholic Church’s Inquisition, or pogroms.” He relaxed his grip, peering down into her tear-stained face, “Now, calm down. I don’t see us being staked and burnt, now do I?”

“Yet,” Jezebel choked, burying her face in her magnus’ chest, staining his white shirt, a sight soon spied by Louis’ lover, Jacqueline.

“What’s going on?” she uttered in a mildly-elevated tone, her eyes shifting from Louis to Jezebel.

“The Marquisate Broke the Veil!” Jezebel screamed, causing a shudder to reverberate across Jacqueline’s form, the light pigmentation fading from her visage.

“No, they… They can’t. Louis, tell me they can’t!” Jacqueline crumpled to the floor, crawling to her lover’s ankles, clasping at them and Jezebel’s own.

“I’m sorry love, they can,” he responded, decreeing cries from both Jezebel and Jacqueline.

“But, but why?!” Jezebel resounded, resulting in a bellowing cry from the other, female vau, by now weeping on the floor beside her.

“Because, they’re the Marquisate. They can do anything.” Louis narrowed his eyes faintly, embracing both Jezebel and his beloved in his arms, his head rising to glare into the wooden, wall-paneling of his office chamber. His optics narrowed, a faint crack resonating within each eye as capillaries burst from anger and resentment at what had occurred; but, mostly, from what had occurred causing his two most closest friend to weep and fear for their lives like they had never before…

Subject: Further Contact

It is a great honor to receive your kindly invitation. As a nation fully committed to international prosperity and progress, we will like to invite you to our select group of friends and allies.

We, as a hard-working society, hope to further embrace our cultures, as you will always find safe haven between our borders.

To the Private Office of Grand Duke Feran of the Grand Duchy of Nova Lassastun,

On behalf of the Marquisate, We personally thank you for your further inquiry into the Aristocracy. We also congratulate you on being one of the first human, national entities to acknowledge the vau since the beginning of the Nineteenth Century. With the Parting of the Veil - a secretive allegiance of vau confederates originally enacted in the year 1800 in an attempt to escape the Roman Catholic Inquisition - this year, the Marquisate greatly hopes that the human species, a once frightened species that attempted to hunt the vau to extinction, will be able to embrace their former enemies with great pride and acceptance.

Once again, We thank you.

Sincerely,
Pierre Alphonse de Rothschild

My heart exploded in joy when I read your last letter. It is the purpose of this communication to ask for further information regarding the Marquisate. Also, we would like to establish an embassy on your territory and we offer you the oportunity to establish an embassy in our truly Nova Lassastun city capital of The Grand Duchy of Nova Lassastun. We would be honored to count you has friends.

Our Embassy Complex is located in a secure downtown area, close to the Grand Duke Castle.

Sincerely,
Grand Duke Feren

To the Private Office of Grand Duke Feran of the Grand Duchy of Nova Lassastun,

As previously stated, the Aristocracy does not hold sovereignty over any, internationally recognized territory. Therefore, most unfortunately, We are not able to permit you to build any sort of embassy, consulate, or diplomatic office.

Diplomacy within the Aristocracy is handled through correspondence through the Acting Representatives of the Marquisate, and other, private citizens who are represented within the Assembly of the Aristocracy.

As for information regarding the Marquisate, the Assembly has not granted permission to divulge much information or statistical analysis in regards to the structure of the Marquisate. However, it is public knowledge now that the Marquisate operates as a supra-national governance for individual vau who are members of the Aristocracy; and, the Marquisate operates as the executive force behind the Fifth Monarchy in order to investigate cases of homonoth crimes against the vau, and reported cases of feralis presence of "vampyre" within our sphere of influence.

Once more, we thank you for your inquiry, and accept the formation of an embassy complex within your nation. This would be most easily created through the relocation of a strigoi to a residential manor within your nation. If this can be accommodated, the complex construction and specialized expenditure required for the construction of an embassy or consulate would not be required.

Thank you,
Pierre Alphonse de Rothschild
Acting Representative of the Marquisate

RE: Your recent letter to the known world.

It is nice to see a nation that obviously has a rich history coming to the forefront of world politics. We would gladly welcome an envoy from your grand nation to set up an embassy in our nation and would welcome open diplomatic correspondance between our two nations to further diplomatic relations. We respect the fact that you do not recognise any international territory and so wil fogo our normal diplomatic requirement of having an embassy in the would be friendly nations territory.

We have a beautiful manor that could fit the strigoi pleasures. It was once habitated by the Grand Duke family in itself and I have it in High regards.

If you prefer to arrange transportation, the Manor would be ready to be inhabitated in the next day, and we will be expecting the embassador arrival shortly.

The Aydon Castle is a fortified manor house near to the town of Corbridge, the ancient capital of the Duchy, before Nova Lassastun city was built. It is a National Monument beautiful building.

The manor house was built by Goer Feren, the first ArchDuke. At this time the house consists of a two-storeyed home with a solar, dining hall and kitchen on the upper floor. It also has battlements and curtain walls. The building remained in use as a family farm after the royal family moved to Nova Lassastun City but has since been restored to its medieval appearance.

You could see a picture of it here (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/Aydon_Castle_2.jpg)

We could also arrange a security convoy and or escort from the point of origin to the destination.
