Since the small fire over-ran the island, all known inhabitants were killed, the island itself has been deemed inhabitable until funds have been cleared to regenerate the island.

Katja Banquets sister Milly with her daughter Amber managed to escape. She went through the inheritance process and has managed to obtain funds to run another spa/retreat on the other small island of Trinity off of the Feninian mainland.

Milly sat in the newly furnished office, she looked out over to the island, she had had a special bronze memorial of the beach house remains with 20 candles for the people who lost their lives. Milly had not been right since the event, all the time deathly ringing, screams and burning flooded her ears.

Milly sent out adverts for various politicians to come and relax when the going got tough....

OOC: Hmm, who shall I throw into this one?

OOC: hehe, well its all new.......so whoever you want......

IC:
Milly walked down to the memorial, all her spa was un-used no customers since she opened up, products in boxes still taped up, she kneeled down, she worshipped her sister. Amber was still on medication as she had inhaled alot of smoke, and still ill.

OOC: I'll get right on that when my Physics class is over...

OOC: ok sweetie x

A man approahed the officer and knocked on the door.

Milly wiped her eyes and answered it.
'Hello...welcome to the Trinity Retreat Spa....' she said smiling.

The man was wearing a white business suit and was holding a black, wheeled bag. His long blond hair went a little past his neck. He gave a warm smile and a slight bow, "Greetings, I am Pegasus. I heard of this little retreat from a friend of mine..."

'well I hope you enjoy your stay, I must apologise, you are the first visitor here - so you have my undivided attention' she said with a slight smile, he was very attractive.

Pegasus smiled, "Thank you. Well then, I suppose I might as well get settled." No one else was here yet, Pegasus figured he might just have the place to himself for a little while. From what he'd heard the beachhouse that burned down filled up very quickly with all sorts of characters... he was curious about what had happened to the beachhouse but didn't want to ask, he'd heard it wasn't exactly a great topic. First things first, he was going to change, then he was going to check out the beach.

Milly changed into her bikini as the sun approached its midday position, she grabbed her laptop and looked at her online banking figures whilst Mulberry the dog rubbed along her leg.

OOC: What happened to the beach house thread? I'll probably send some middle-aged or old woman, a high executive's wife, to the spa. Also, Zak isn;t counted in the dead, is he?

OOC: well I wanted to start afresh....I mean by all means if you post here.....this is the thread if you want Zak to live there are rescue teams currently on the island, they will rescue him...if he is alive

OOC: Oh, well, we can assume he was called back in August because the profits were predicted to be dropping in the third quarter, so he was called in say mid-August.

I'll post once I cure my writers' block.

OOC: Is is fantasy or MT. I'm not quite sure yet.

A man in very casual clothing came walking up to the place. He was wearing a simple white shirt, jeans sagging a bit, white and green nike shoes, and a white flat brim hate on backwards, tilted to the side slightly. He had a german shepard with him as well.
"Hey, I would like to stay here for awhile. Could I getta room?" said the man who's name was Darren.

(OOC: http://www.mtv.com/content/music/sucker_free/flipbooks/fall_2006/Cipha-with-Lil-Scrappy.jpg On left)

Milly noticed the car pull up, she put her laptop to one side, Mulberry was already there saying hello to the german shepherd.

'Greetings...May I take your things?'

Will Saller, a rich CEO from Greal, arrived at the spa. He was dressed in a business suit. The spa seemed like a great place to hang around for a while. He noticed an attractive lady running the spa.

A row boat appeared on the horizon. It's sole occupant steadily rowed towards land, towards the spa. "This is the last time I use that discount travel agency," Vincent Lujack muttered to himself. Moments later, his small boat struck land on the beach outside the spa. He quickly jumped out of the boat, his suitcase in hand, and attempted to rush to the spa, without actually looking like he was rushing, what he succeeded in doing was something akin to a cross between brisk walking, and a slow jog. His once clean, pressed leisure suit, was now somewhat wet and wrinkled, and what had been his nice combed hair, was now a tangled mess. His waterlogged shoes made a splotching sound when he walked.

Milly saw the man.
'Milly Banquet, welcome to the spa.....would you like me to wash your clothes? the weather is perfect for drying'

One of Millys employees Sanja pulled up in her brand new BMW, she was very leggy, typical slim spa worker, she had brown skin and beautiful long black hair.

'I can take this one from here' Sanja said.

Milly smiled.
'wow, I have gone from no customers to quite a few now.....you can choose a room, the keys are in the doors. Breakfast is at 8am and the rooms will be cleaned before 9am and turned over by 7pm' she said, the sun lit her golden skin.

Milly smiled.

"Thank you." said Will, awed by her beauty, then he regained himself and went to pick a room. Once picking a room was done, he went to change and headed down to the beach.

Milly sat on her lounger and smiled at Will.

Milly sat on her lounger and smiled at Will.

"Excuse me? Are there any refreshment drinks?" asked Will, "And I haven't had the honor of your name."

"It's ok, my mama raised me right, I'll take them, I wouldn't want that nice body to be pulling all this, but thanks for offering."
His German Shepard Jake seemed to like Mulberry. Darren and his dog headed to their room. Once they got there, Darren unpacked his things, took out some food and water for Jake, and went outside. He sat down with his laptop in hand, checking his email.

Milly saw the man.

'I can take this one from here' Sanja said.

"Sure, thank you," Vincent said, "but I think I'll need a room first, unless you want me to take them off here in the lobby. I'm Vincent Lujack, by the way, but my friends all know me as Uncle Vin."

Pegasus returned from his room in a pair of shorts, a white shirt, and sandles. He had sunglasses on and looked out at the beach. "Something tells me I might like it here..."

A Kingfisher appeared over the horizon. It's occupants were en-route to another nation, but they were making a stop here first. It came in low, landing away from the Spa retreat so as not to cause a major disturbance. The door slid open, and a man wearing a blue hawaian shirt, shorts and a straw hat hopped out. It was a stark contrast to his fellow occupants, all of whom were wearing black body suits, masks and helmets. One of them threw a bag down to him

"Now, you call us when you're done" said the masked trooper

"Yeah, yeah I know" replied the man in a blue shirt. SRPA, being a secretive organisation protecting Ustio from threats, both terrestrial or extra-terrestrial, didn't really do holidays, retirement plans & dental plans. So, he would be making the most of this one.

He headed over to the main building as the Kingfisher left the island. He headed inside and up to the desk

"Hi, do you have any rooms?" he asked

Milly had arranged a meeting for all clients to meet their staff, all the girls were of Philipino ans they mainly ran the retreat. Milly as she had had bar experience was in charge of the general running and the resteraunt/bar.

Milly was emailing some potential shareholders and she saw Will.
'My name is Amelia (milly for short) Banquet...' she said smiling softly.

She then heard some noise from inside the building, another client, she wrapped her sarong around her slender figure and rushed in to greet him.
'Welcome to the retreat, you can choose a room and all I need is some ID and I can set your account up and your billing card' she said, she was quite short and just about peeped over the big account computer on the front desk.

Meanwhile she noticed that Mulberry hadnt been around for a while, she smiled as she knew she was probably with Darrens dog.

"Alright Milly," said Will smiling,"Do you have any juice?"

"Great" said the man, smiling at her "Here's my ID. The name's Alex, by the way"

Milly smiled.
'Yes I was just about to open the bar up' she said, she was heartbroken after loosing Lars in the fire, she only had Amber left now, she wanted to move on and love someone else, just not quite yet.

Milly served him his drink and started polishing the glasses. :wink:

She gestured for Alex to come over, she slid the id in the register.
'first one for you is on the house' Milly smiled.

Laya walked over, she had to be the most attractive woman that Milly employed, she took Alexs coat and gave him a warm kiss on the cheek.

"Well, thank you" Alex said after Laya kissed him "I can see myself getting used to this place"

He sipped his drink

"Ah" he began "Yes, i'm going to enjoy it here"

"Well, thank you" Alex said after Laya kissed him "I can see myself getting used to this place"

Laya took his bags and then let her long black hair down, she had a beautiful silver engagement ring on that made her skin look even more golden. She also had a slight bruise on her cheek.

Alex looked out towards the sea. It was a beautiful day - much better than it was were he'd just come from anyway. It was times like this that glad him glad he left the International School For Teens and joined SRPA. He took another sip from his drink, and headed out onto the beach.

'Will you be needing anything else?' she asked quietly.

It was getting warm in the evening heat and soon it would be her time to finish, she dreaded going home to Lance

'Will you be needing anything else?' she asked quietly.

"Ah, you know what?" he said "I'm good"

Laya smiled and walked back to the spa.

Milly was talking to Will at the bar and Mulberry came trotting in all happy and panting like she had gone for a nice run up the shore.

'Will you be needing anything else?' she asked quietly.

It was getting warm in the evening heat and soon it would be her time to finish, she dreaded going home to Lance

OOC: Sorry Fen, but you'll have to catch me out another way.

Alex headed over to his room. He put his case on his bed, the gold initials A.F glinting in the bright sunlight, and slipped out a laptop.

ooc: oh dear.......HMMMM more cunning methinks

IC:
Laya went home to Lance and then came back the following morning to clean the rooms.

Milly was ordering the spa supplies and debitting the funds from the customers cards.

Bump

A jet black BMW 650i on 22 inch chrome lexani rims pulled up to the front entrance of the resort. The powerful 4.8L, V8, 360 Horsepower engine roared as it was given gas, it then rolled to a stop. The driver door opened and out stepped a beautiful Italian young woman, her long dark black hair was straight but went wavy around her shoulders, she wore large lensed sun glasses on her petite face, the Dolce & Gabana emblems shone in diamonds when the sun made contact. On her goddess body she wore a red Gucci sun dress and matching stilletto heels, she walked towards the main doors to get the key for the suite that was reserved for her.

This girl is the daughter of Emperor Antonio Vespillio, Her name, Anna Maria Vespillio. The youngest of the Emperors children, 20, her brother Cyrus, 26, her brother Julius, 30. The Emperor sent her to the resort to seperate his daughter from a young military officer in the Imperial Marine Corps, the young man would be deployed to an officer training course in two weeks on the other side of the empire. Anna Maria would return to the captial city, Apollo, once he was gone.

She reached the front desk and waited to be served....

An armored limosuine pulled up at the front entrance of the resort before the chauffer swiftly exited from the front seat to open the door for the occupants, three in total, who would be enjoying themselves at the resort. The first occupant, a man in his twenties, emerged with a suit upon his muscular frame while his hair was neatly managed. He held a suitcase in his hand which contained all the items he had decided to take with him to the resort and, in the other hand, he held the door open for the next occupant. The next occupant wore a lovely summer dress that accented her hourglass frame while her blonde hair was let down. The dress covered most of the lithe flesh and the eyes scanned the surroundings before swiftly turning to see the last occupant, a stoic bodyguard, exit while giving the chauffer an order to find somewhere safe to store the limosuine. These three people were citizens of Aresium, well, not just any citizens. They were Philomena Kosseri, the Republic of Aresium's highest ranking politician, her assistant and her bodyguard. The assistant, Yani, opened the doors for the others before walking in to see Anna Maria waiting to be served.


She reached the front desk and waited to be served....

He was staring and admiring her goddess body and it took a sharp nudge from Lanus to get him to cease. "....Don't make her think you are a pervert or something, Yani." Lanus uttered while he led Philomena to the desk. Yani sighed. He felt an instant attraction for Anna Maria and he told himself he would try to talk to her but, unexpectedly, he felt the uncontrollable urge to get it over with. While Lanus and Philomena were looking around, Yani walked up to Anna Maria and smiled. "....You must be one of the guests, right? The name's Yani Loran. It's nice to meet you. Do you know where the clerk is? I hope there's no problems...."

Yani spoke confidently but felt just a bit nervous around Anna Maria. Perhaps, he thought, she'd instantly dislike him or that she was already taken. No, he thought, he couldn't let himself think that another man could have this goddess. He even considered that she was a lesbian. Damned be such thoughts! Lanus, at the corner of his eye, noticed Yani talking to Anna Maria but he didn't intervene. Philomena nudged him softly and smiled. "....Let Yani have his fun, Lanus. If Fortune ordains it, he will get what he wants."

Yani smiled. ".....I'm one of the guests myself. I'm the assistant to the leader of Aresium, Philomena Kosseri, who is here along with her bodyguard and me. I'm just here to manage the rooms and make sure everything is in order while they look around. I'm actually looking forward to staying here although, truth be told, I never expected Philomena would invite me!"

OOC: Osteia, Yani doesn't know about Anna Maria's fling with the officer; he's assuming she's open but is prepared to accept it if she is taken. :tongue:

Anna Maria was getting impatient, the clerk was nowhere in sight and her feet were starting to hurt in the shoes. She sighed loudly causing people to look at her, she put one foot forward and leaned into a stare, they quickly turned away,

Nosy people, worrying about what im doing..

Her spoiled additude had kicked in, which got her punished alot as a child. After awhile everyone had given up on her. Once she realized that acting that way got you nothing she decided to show a 'front', the good girl who does well in school, who is involved in activitys and gets involved with her fathers military officers which lead to her present situation, the resort.

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted when a very handsome, muscular gentleman dressed smartly entered the lobby,

Wow...turn around Anna...ignore..

She turned towards the counter. Then suddenly she seen him approaching through the corner of her eye,

"....You must be one of the guests, right? The name's Yani Loran. It's nice to meet you. Do you know where the clerk is? I hope there's no problems...."

She turned and gave him a big perfect smile, Anna's own reaction shocked her

Maybe that was too much..too inviting.. she thought...


"Hello Mr. Loran, it's..nice to meet you too" She extended her hand to him..

"I have no clue where the clerk is, ive been waiting for like ten minutes, Oh and im sorry, my names Anna Maria Vespillio"

OOC: It's cool, go ahead lol

She turned and gave him a big perfect smile, Anna's own reaction shocked her

Maybe that was too much..too inviting.. she thought...


"Hello Mr. Loran, it's..nice to meet you too" She extended her hand to him..

"I have no clue where the clerk is, ive been waiting for like ten minutes, Oh and im sorry, my names Anna Maria Vespillio"

OOC: It's cool, go ahead lol

"....She has a truly angelic smile....it's just amazing!"

Yani Loran smiled at the newfound acquaintance he had obtained and felt that she was quite enchantingly beautiful and that she posessed an intoxicating aura. He took her hand and gave it a firm shake whilst restraining the urge to kiss her hand. He didn't want to look corny in front of a woman whose heart he could obtain. "It is a pleasurable honor to meet such an enchanting woman like yourself, Miss Vespillio, and I must say that you look absolutely gorgeous. Forgive me if I sound too blunt or corny but I must admit it."

Yani smiled. He didn't look nervous around Anna Maria nor did he looked concerned about what she could be thinking about him. He didn't even know of her royal birth and parentage but it probably wouldn't matter to him. Yani was one of those men who loved a woman for her character and who considered the looks and the shape of her frame and, if we were to be lewd, the size of the breasts as mere bonuses. Yani wasn't a lewd man but even he could be seen drooling over some women. "...I must say, Miss Vespillio, that I'd love to learn more about you. Perhaps, tonight, we may have dinner? If you refuse, I don't mind at all."

Yani smiled. "....As for the clerk, I am sure we won't have to wait too long for the presence of such an important component of the hotel industry.....besides, if we did, then we could just leave and give our business to another...."

"....If that happens, though, I'd make sure I have Anna Maria's contact information!"

Yani smiled. ".....Perhaps you'd like to meet the others sometime, Miss Vespillio? If you are married, please don't hesitate to correct me."

She felt his firm but gentle grip and slowly brought her hand back. His scent was very fresh, she tryed to avoid eye contact with him even though her glasses hid her eyes.

"It is a pleasurable honor to meet such an enchanting woman like yourself, Miss Vespillio, and I must say that you look absolutely gorgeous. Forgive me if I sound too blunt or corny but I must admit it."

Anna Maria smiled once again and replyed, "Not at all, you are a gentleman and is it not a gentleman's duty to inform a lady, such as mysef when she looks 'Absolutely gorgeous', you amuse me Mr. Loran..don't be offended, that is a good thing"

"...I must say, Miss Vespillio, that I'd love to learn more about you. Perhaps, tonight, we may have dinner? If you refuse, I don't mind at all."

Anna Maria expected he would ask to see her that evening, this guy was confident of his game but there seemed to be a bit more to him, enough to make her say, after a slight hesitation, "Sure, why not? im not doing anything tonight..no plans!"

She grinned. "Im not married, don't worry.."

Anna decided not to ask him, it would make it appear as if she was interested. Basicly shout it out.

She felt his firm but gentle grip and slowly brought her hand back. His scent was very fresh, she tryed to avoid eye contact with him even though her glasses hid her eyes.

Yani Loran smiled. He was only a few years older than Anna Maria and looked quite charming to the eyes although not much seemed to be known of his inner nature just yet but soon, if it went that far, it could be. "....Anna Maria.....am I falling love with her? That'd be......something."

Anna Maria smiled once again and replyed, "Not at all, you are a gentleman and is it not a gentleman's duty to inform a lady, such as mysef when she looks 'Absolutely gorgeous', you amuse me Mr. Loran..don't be offended, that is a good thing"

Yani smiled. "......You may call me Yani, Anna Maria. I won't ask you to address me with the usual titles of address people give one another in this world. I must thank you for the compliment. I try my best to be good and virtuous around women especially those of your calibur. Sometimes we are blessed to lay our eyes upon fair women of fine stock such as yourself....and truly blessed is the man who posesses such a woman!"

Yani grinned just a little. "....Or, blessed is the woman!"


Anna Maria expected he would ask to see her that evening, this guy was confident of his game but there seemed to be a bit more to him, enough to make her say, after a slight hesitation, "Sure, why not? im not doing anything tonight..no plans!"

".....Excellent! This is all going to work out! I may even get more than I expected....."

".....When we get our suites and what not checked out, I'll try to remember yours so I may pick you up at, say, eight o'clock? I'm sure there's a fine restaurant around here that we may dine at."

Yani imagined himself seeing Anna Maria at his side, in a lovely dress over the lithe frame, and he mentally drooled. If he was truly blessed by Fortune, he would have it all. A good job, a good home, and a good woman. He prayed that this would all work out. Women like Anna Maria don't appear all the time like this.

She grinned. "Im not married, don't worry.."

Anna decided not to ask him, it would make it appear as if she was interested. Basicly shout it out.

Yani was pleased with this response. It meant that she was open for the taking and thus he would spare no expense to get to her heart and lay siege upon it. He didn't know, though, if she was going steady with someone. This tormented him. Could all of this end up in nothing good? ".....Do you have a boyfriend?" Yani blurted out. "....Girlfriend?"

Yani thought that he might as well ask just to make sure and, plus, he could learn more about Anna Maria as well. "....I'm single myself so you know but I've been unable to get much of myself out there in the dating game due to my work and all. As the personal assistant to a national leader, one must focus his attention on that."

Yani grinned. "......Luckily, though, I am quite well liked. Everyone calls me a hard worker and says how dedicated I am to the nation and to my work. I must say, Anna Maria, that I'd love to learn more about you and where you come from though, to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if you came from Paradise."

'i was here in these island after the fire was set,it was not a nice site to see an all we could do was Bag and Tag"said a soldier as he walks in with a woman at his side

"i read the report made me want to throw up"answer woman as they walk right pass the desk to take a seat then looks around

"great people from Aresium,just our luck"add the woman in a low voice
"how you know"asked the man
"saw a report that man was at some dinner we sent someone to"

Milly was pleased about the new customers, she created their accounts and showed them to their rooms.

She went to check if Laya was alright, she was nowhere to be seen, she gave up looking and went back to do some accounts and order more shampoo.

Alex watched the blue seas, a frown on his face. With the binoculars, he could see several black shapes sliding slowly across the horizon

"Damn" he said quietly to himself, the laptop beside him showing the news headline:

WAR: USTIAN CENTRE FORCE DEPLOYS TO ROEF!

He closed the laptop, and pushed it back into the bag

bumped for new guests.

You may call me Yani, Anna Maria. I won't ask you to address me with the usual titles of address people give one another in this world. I must thank you for the compliment. I try my best to be good and virtuous around women especially those of your calibur. Sometimes we are blessed to lay our eyes upon fair women of fine stock such as yourself....and truly blessed is the man who posesses such a woman!"

Yani grinned just a little, "....Or, blessed is the woman!"

Anna Maria smiled warmly, she watched him through her dark shades trying to figure out why she couldn't say no and simply walk away. Many men home tryed to enchant her but she was only interested in one man, 21 year old Lt. William Lechantz, a young Marine Corps junior officer who would ship out for training in two weeks, somthing about an Alliance her father had entered into william had said. The two knew eachother their whole lives but the Emperor recently found out they were seeing one another, spared Lt. Lechantz but had every intention of sending him away so that he never saw his daughter Anna Maria again. Lt. Lechantz had been the only serious relationship Anna ever experianced.

When we get our suites and what not checked out, I'll try to remember yours so I may pick you up at, say, eight o'clock? I'm sure there's a fine restaurant around here that we may dine at."

Anna came back to reality and replied, "Certianly! i reserved Suite ***, and eight o'clock sounds good to me Yani, oh and by the way you can call me Anna..Anna Maria takes too long to say"

She grinned, then suddenly people appeared to show them to their rooms,

"Welcome" they said...

"Thank you, my luggage is in the BMW 650i.." Anna said to the staff members, she brought out the keys and gestured towards the doors....

She glanced back and Yani, "I'll see you later...", she spun around and followed the staff member to her suite...

Ohh Anna, it's terrible to play with their heads like that...nothing wrong with a man buying you drinks and dinner though...

Anna Maria smiled warmly, she watched him through her dark shades trying to figure out why she couldn't say no and simply walk away.

Yani knew nothing about Anna Maria's personal life nor did she know how he prayed passionately in his mind that she wasn't taken by any man or woman so that he could try to take her heart for himself since, after all, he had mostly fallen in love with Anna Maria or, perhaps, had wanted to see if he could foster love between him and her during his vacation. There were plenty of possible scenarios to reflect upon. "....Anna Maria, if you are taken by someone else, please do not hesitate to tell me. I really wouldn't mind making you a friend.....if not more than that."

Yani smiled. He was being honest with himself towards the object of his newfound inclinations. Besides, he knew, there had to be more than one woman of Anna Maria looks in the world!

Anna came back to reality and replied, "Certianly! i reserved Suite ***, and eight o'clock sounds good to me Yani, oh and by the way you can call me Anna..Anna Maria takes too long to say"

Once she had left his presence, Yani smiled before looking to see that Philomena and Lanus had already left to claim their suites. ".....I hope Anna Maria isn't taken.....I'd love to have her as my own! Now....let's find those friends of mine!"

And, so, Yani went off to find the others and, of course, his own suite.

OOC: Shall I just go into the date on the next post?

the door bangs open as two armed soldier walking followed by two women each holding a baby in their arms who had two armed soldiers behind them

"ma-am "said the two who were sitting down but now standing
"you booked in "aaked one of the soldier who clearly was a officer
"no sir as told"asnswer the female soldier

"good" answer the officer as they move to front desk

OOC: Sure,

Anna Maria went to her room and looked out her balcony window at the beautiful pool below. After the bus boy had brought her luggage she decided to take a shower then go down for a tan the a swim. Anna put on a designer bathing suit, picked another pair of sun glasses anrew the hotel robe on before she left the room. She moved over towards one of the chairs and took a seat beside the pool, Anna looked around lowering her robe to apply her sun screen.

Miss Vespillio had not been on a date in awhile, Her and Lt. Lechantz could not be seen anywhere in public together back home. She was quite nervous and decided to stay occupied untill the time came. Anna tanned for a good while, had a swim and returned to her room to get ready for Loni's call.

Yani Loran had been eagerly awaiting the appointed time of his date with Anna Maria with much anticipation and desire building with his rugged frame. He took it upon himself to look absolutely stunning or, rather, as best as he could so that she would, perhaps, look more favorably upon him. It didn't come to his mind that she could be playing with his emotions but he wouldn't go berserk over it if she was. Yani was the sort of man who simply shunned any woman who didn't show herself to be of virtue and good character because he felt both looks and character were equally important. Dressed in a tuxedo while Philomena wished him all the best as did Lanus, albeit stoically, Yani Loran headed down the halls of the retreat with the contact information still fresh in his mind. He knew exactly where to go and he had decided to call upon her in person rather than with a phone. It just felt more gentlemanly, to him, to do that. Once he found the door to her suite, Yani Loran knocked calmly with a great smile upon his face. He prayed to whatever Being, if any, existed in the Heavens above for guidance and for the fullfillment of his desire to crown his life with the conquest of this woman, or rather, to make her the soulmate many men dream about. Yani stood there in silence while waiting for Anna Maria to open the door to her suite. "....I just hope this goes well.....and I definately hope she is single."

Anna Maria was applying her last finishing touches of make up when she heard a knock, Thats him...here we go.., she tossed some of her make up in her hand bag and stepped back admiring herself in the mirror. She wore a Dolce&Gabana evening dress, it was black and fit perfectly over her curves, I suppose this has to work.... She left the bathroom and went to answear the door but quickly removed her Armani Diamonds bottle from her hand bag spraying a little on her neck. After she put it back Anna opened the door to see a stunning gentleman in a spiffy tuxcedo,

"Hello Yani" She smiled

OOC: Too late to join?

OOC: Go ahead...

OOC: Do I just TG the character information, or what?

Anna Maria was applying her last finishing touches of make up when she heard a knock, Thats him...here we go.., she tossed some of her make up in her hand bag and stepped back admiring herself in the mirror. She wore a Dolce&Gabana evening dress, it was black and fit perfectly over her curves, I suppose this has to work.... She left the bathroom and went to answear the door but quickly removed her Armani Diamonds bottle from her hand bag spraying a little on her neck. After she put it back Anna opened the door to see a stunning gentleman in a spiffy tuxcedo,

"Hello Yani" She smiled

OOC: Posting as my puppet, Aresium.

Yani was amazed yet again by the stunning beauty of Anna Maria when he first saw her as the door opened to reveal the foreign and exotic demi-goddess he had the fortune of dating tonight. He examined her closely, albeit briefly, and smiled. This must be some sort of dream. ".....You look....absolutely gorgeous tonight, Anna. That's all I can muster myself up to say about it. Shall we go?"

He extended his hand and smiled. "....I think that we'll have a splendid time tonight and I hope we get to learn more about each other and where we come from."

They didn't take long to get to the restaurant which Yani had called prior to picking up Anna Maria to reserve a table which he demanded to be made all romantic and sensual so as to entice Anna Maria into falling for him. If she was single and receptive, it would work but if she was taken, well, at least he had a date with her, this goddess-on-earth. Finding the table he reserved in a VIP or private room and which was adorned with any item considered of romantic value, Yani helped Anna Maria into her seat and restrained the urge to stare at her backside as she walked ahead of him. God forbid he should be looking like a pervert. Besides, if he did good, wouldn't she give him a taste of the nectar? Once Yani had helped her, he took his own seat and smiled before calling for a waiter: "....Anna Maria, I must ask you. Where do you come from? What hobbies do you have? Please tell me more about yourself; about the very lovely and supremely gorgeous woman I have met! I'm very interested in learning all that there is to know about the complex splendor that is Anna Maria Vespillio."

"you think tyou see this many poeple you would be smart to move"said one of the ladies

Mark walked into the spa, he left the beach house quietly weeks before the fire. He scanned the area looking for staff or someone who he could get him a room.

ooc: What's going on so far? I'm thinking of joining.

and it's amazing how bad people's grammar gets online...

ooc there is no plot

ooc: i know, but can you give me a general outline of what's happened so far? I know some idiot of yours was waving a gun around at a spa, of all places...

ooc: i know, but can you give me a general outline of what's happened so far? I know some idiot of yours was waving a gun around at a spa, of all places...

ooc 1:there was no gun been wave about so opeen yoyu eye's
2:if you read the thread you know the Imperial Family at the spa
3:how in hell can we give you a run down when there no plot as every one doing their own thing

ooc: What's happening now, in general.

BTW, playing with guns and being overly belligerent at a spa counts as idiotic. Yes, he was not waving it, but he was threatening another guest with it, and that's not cool, not at all.

And is this very strict MT with no future or supernatural stuff? Or are you trying to play your emperor as a god, like you do with FT?

ooc: What's happening now, in general.

ooc blood hell can you read i think i said in ooc what was going on

ooc: Obviously I can read, and I write better than you do. "Everyone is doing there own thing." That's kind of a scanty description.

OOC: Right as a neutral party i say you two just stop the arguing for the sake of the thread and carry on as normal IC, and to the guy that wants to know whats going on, read the thread

ooc: Whatever, you're probably right. This is pure MT, right?

Brian Gyrie walked into the spa entrance carrying two bags. he looked around for the owner or whoever was running the place.

ooc: Obviously I can read, and I write better than you do. "Everyone is doing there own thing." That's kind of a scanty description


ooc wow so you went to better shcools and don't have dyslexia,


Everyone is doing there own thing." That's kind of a scanty description
an no shit seeing i can't read the mind of the RPer

And is this very strict MT with no future or supernatural stuff? Or are you trying to play your emperor as a god, like you do with FT?
oh look you have not clue of my MT/PMT side

ooc: Whatever, you're probably right. This is pure MT, right?.

OOC OP nation is MT nation made of Elven people if i recall right from MSN and other thread

ooc wow so you went to better shcools and don't have dyslexia

ooc: You know, I would feel sorry for you, but your excessive belligerence kind of killed that... I've Rped with you before, with a different nation, on FT. "My Emperor Wolf is a Void god who can hurl fireballs and is immortal." Yeah, right.
Point is, I'm done with this argument.

Mark was also in the entrance of the spa, looking for some staff when he noticed a man with two bags walk in. "Hi there" said Mark as he extended his hand outwards for a hand shake to Brian.

"Hey," said Brian, taking his hadn and shaking it. "The name's Brian- I'm from Democratic Tanuri. What about you?"

ooc: You know, I would feel sorry for you, but your excessive belligerence kind of killed that... I've Rped with you before, with a different nation, on FT. "My Emperor Wolf is a Void god who can hurl fireballs and is immortal." Yeah, right.

ooc you know i don't care an wish you get over yourself and stop acting like a ass

Whatever.


Point is, I'm done with this argument.

Read that.

"Im Mark, Im from Bushdome, so what brings you here then? and have you seen any staff here?" he chuckled

ooc an yet you still went on

IC

"odd that not so long ago i was at that other island"said David as he walks with Alex along the beach

"did you read the report?"asked Alex

"yes"

"No," Brian said. "Have you?" he was very conscious of the weight of the Tanur B70 (a powerful and accurate semiautomatic handgun) he was carrying inside his suit jacket. It was part of the job description when you were with the Service.

"No i havn't, which isn't that good, is there a bar that we could hit whilst we wait, do you know?"

"No," he said, "I don't." he took out his PeaPod (Tanuri tech, similar to Blackberry) and quickly typed down a few things.

ooc MP so far you done nothing for any one to post to so stop bumping

Why does it matter if I bump this?

And why am I not getting any response on my character? If I'm not permitted here then just tell me to go away! Don't just let me dangle.

ooc: if your character's at the entrance have him talk to mine and bushdome's, don't bother with II, all he's doing is threatening people and having his character's RP w/ each other

"how many survivors from that attack"Alex now asked as she took hold of his hand once more

"only two called Lucinda and Alicia all other died "answer David as they join a small gourp

"Oh right" he said as he looked at the blackberry-esq device, "Errrm so yeh"

Why does it matter if I bump this?

And why am I not getting any response on my character? If I'm not permitted here then just tell me to go away! Don't just let me dangle.

ooc all you done is a profile nothing to going on

Tanuri who died and made you boss

ooc: same guy who did it for you, apparently. And your guys' talking only to each other about people getting killed isn't doing much to go against my argument.

major deja vu here.

now I dropped that argument, just back off.

ooc i'am just talking about what the op said happen at the start of this thread
http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=566804

ooc: W/ yourself? that's very sociable.

Mark wondered off insearch of a bar, after all this he needed a stiff drink

Brian decided to walk off with him.

"So how long have you been here?" he asked.

"Well about half an hour, and yet no staff. I know the owner though, she must be up to summut improtant."

"Oh, really? What's she like?"

ooc: W/ yourself? that's very sociable.

ooc if you read the thread, you would see every one beside my lot are in the middle of things

ooc: you could join. Where are your people anyway? On the beach?

"Well she's really nice, me and her had a thing going once, but then she found some one nicer, oh and she has the cutest daughter"

"Oh, really? Is the other guy around?"

It had been sometime since Philomena and Lanus had settled down into their rooms whilst their comrade, Yani Loran, had been out on a date with Anna Maria Vespillio and both of them seemed to be very pleased with the spa retreat. Philomena, in particular, had been looking through the wardrobe of clothes she brought with her while her bodyguard took a nap on his bed out of idleness. She decided that she would want to explore the spa retreat but knew that Lanus would accompany her so, so as not to break free from him, she knocked upon the door of his suite after changing into some light clothing for the walk. Lanus awoke from his slumber after a few minutes and opened the door to look upon his ward. "....I suppose you'll require my services, Philomena?"

Philomena affirmatively nodded her head and then watched as Lanus withdrew into his room to make sure he looked presentable and that he had his sidearm with him in case something was to happen and distrupt his hopefully non-problematic vacation. The two walked down to where the other guests (Mark/Brian) were and noticed them. Philomena studied them with interest. No one knew she was the leader of the Republic of Aresium but she had no problem telling people about it. She also knew that the ever faithful Lanus would give off the appearance that he was, perhaps, her lover but she would correct people who assumed this. Lanus and Philomena were strictly platonic. Philomena smiled at the two men as she walked near them while Lanus stoically followed her with no emotion upon his face. Thus, the two proceeded to walk around although Philomena would have not minded talking to either of the two men.

OOC: Isa and Tanuri, let's stop arguing permanently; also, Philomena is willing to talk to Brian and/or Mark.

"No, unforchanatley not he died in a fire at the holiday resort her sister owned"

ooc:yeh Philomena just get involved in our convo

ooc: i would gladly do so.

Brian sighed. Suddenly, he spotted a woman and a man nearby. He walked over.

"hey," he said. "The name's Brian, I'm from Democratic Tanuri. What about you guys?"

"No, unforchanatley not he died in a fire at the holiday resort her sister owned"

"sorry did i hear you right that he was on that island?"asked a man holding a Baby in his arms

ooc: i would gladly do so.

Brian sighed. Suddenly, he spotted a woman and a man nearby. He walked over.

"hey," he said. "The name's Brian, I'm from Democratic Tanuri. What about you guys?"

Philomena smiled. "....I'm Philomena Kosseri; I'm the leader of the Republic of Aresium. I've just recently been made the leader, though, ever since the former leader left this world. I've come here to this spa retreat to relax, have fun and meet new people. It's very nice to meet you, Brian."

Lanus nodded his head. "...You may call me Lanus, Brian. I am the bodyguard of Miss Kosseri and usually just follow her around to make sure she is safe and not in harm's way; I've been at her side for many years actually but I do hope, like her, to just relax. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like we'll have any problems."

"who are you?" brian asked the man with the baby. "Did you know him?" he was typing on his PeaPod again.

"And I should hope there's no trouble, my job is all about avoiding it. And i really don't want to engage in a shootout on my vacation. i take it that firearms are allowed here?"

"sorry did i hear you right that he was on that island?"asked a man holding a Baby in his arms


"Yeah, the owners partner died on the island fire." he said quietly. "I missed the fire by pure luck, i left the island a few weeks early"

"Yeah, the owners partner died on the island fire." he said quietly. "I missed the fire by pure luck, i left the island a few weeks early"

"luckly ,after a look out on one three ships passing by saw it we an two other nations landed troops to find out what was going on,saddly only two ladies were find alive,an we had to lay the others to rest"

"who are you?" brian asked the man with the baby. "Did you know him?" he was typing on his PeaPod again.

"And I should hope there's no trouble, my job is all about avoiding it. And i really don't want to engage in a shootout on my vacation. i take it that firearms are allowed here?"

"Emperor of Imperial an you heard why i know what happen"

"Yeah was not a nice event, thats why im on holiday here i guess" Mark replayed what had just been said through his head. "So you a leader of a nation or somthing then?" Mark asked now very interested

"Yeah was not a nice event, thats why im on holiday here i guess" Mark replayed what had just been said through his head. "So you a leader of a nation or somthing then?" Mark asked now very interested

ooc answer in my edit post

IC

"don't worry the one's behind it face a fring squad , an did say i was Emperor of Imperial but you look at the time to be off somewhere in your head"

"Yeah was not a nice event, thats why im on holiday here i guess" Mark replayed what had just been said through his head. "So you a leader of a nation or somthing then?" Mark asked now very interested

OOC: I assume this is for Philomena. Correct me if I am mistaken.

Philomena smiled. "....That is correct. I've been leading the Republic of Aresium for sometime ever since the previous leader who was also my beloved father passed away with me as his nominated successor to his post. I've tried to get Aresium into the international scene as much and as best as is possible because I don't want it to be isolated from other nations. My goal is to create friendships and better relations with the world. However, I've decided to take a break from my work in coming here."

"Yeah every body needs a rest from time to time." He smiled a little then said "So you been here long?"

"Yeah every body needs a rest from time to time." He smiled a little then said "So you been here long?"

"I have not been here long but I do hope to stay long; Lanus isn't the only person I am with as we brought my personal assistant, Yani Loran, with us but he is currently on a date. I do hope it goes well for him."

" brought my family and second in command and his family"

Mark chuckled, "He not get on many dates then?" he asked cheekily

Mark chuckled, "He not get on many dates then?" he asked cheekily

"...He just needs the right woman!" Philomena said before having a brief session of giggling while Lanus just smirked. Philomena then remembered her own status as a single virgin and smiled.

"....I haven't been on any dates myself due to my political work but perhaps I'll find a man for myself here at this spa retreat. It's entirely possible but I don't focus on it much."

"...He just needs the right woman!"

"oh hope he has luck like i did"

"You need a man ehh?" asked Mark, "Well lemme buy you a drink" he laughed

"You need a man ehh?" asked Mark, "Well lemme buy you a drink" he laughed

Philomena grinned. "....When I find the right man, I'll take him. Until then, I'll bask in the freedom that has been bestowed upon me."

"Thats a good way to go about things i reckon"

"Thats a good to go about things i reckon"

"....Indeed. It's a universal truth if you look into it. Whether you are a man or woman, it's essential that you do not rush into affairs of the heart but take your time."

"Yeah i guess, but rushing into things is some thimes good as its full of passion and pazzaz, if you get my drift"

"ha indeed know some who have done that"

"But like you said, better not to rush, things can get messy"

"indeed sir things can get messy,but still one never know what going to be thrown your way in life"


"miss Philomena may you would like to meet my mm...wife that the word "

Mark nodded and just watched as the small events unfolded

"indeed sir things can get messy,but still one never know what going to thrown your way in life"


"miss Philomena may you would like to meet my mm...wife that the word "

Philomena smiled. "I would not mind meeting your wife."

Philomena smiled. "I would not mind meeting your wife."

"when you are free then,oh the names Carlos"said Carlos as he was join by another soldier

"devil why are not taking time out"asked Carlos

"had to deal with a FNG"

ooc: about how old is Philomena?

Brian smiled ruefully.

"Your social life sounds a bit too much like mine for comfort," he said. "In my line of work, you let few people get close to you, unless you know that you likely won't be seeing them again. And i don't exactly have much free time."

He turned to Carlos. "So you're an emperor. That's interesting." His PeaPod was being used at the speed of sound by now. "Is that why you've brought soldiers here? back home my people go for more subtle guards instead." He looked at the baby. "cute kid. you got any others?"

ooc: about how old is Philomena?

Brian smiled ruefully.

"Your social life sounds a bit too much like mine for comfort," he said. "In my line of work, you let few people get close to you, unless you know that you likely won't be seeing them again. And i don't exactly have much free time."

OOC: She is twenty seven.

Philomena nodded her head.

"....I do have an active and thriving social life which I have preserved in the midst of devoting much of my time to political matters due to my position in Aresium and I always find a way to have pleasure with friends and my hobbies regardless of how much time I spend in political matters. Just because you are a politician does not mean that you have to forsake everything else in your life."

He turned to Carlos. "So you're an emperor. That's interesting." His PeaPod was being used at the speed of sound by now. "Is that why you've brought soldiers here? back home my people go for more subtle guards instead." He looked at the baby. "cute kid. you got any others?"

"wow good for your people ,but my lot Every one in the military full time for males, part time for females"said Carlos then turn to face Philomena

"miss you find my wife at the beach" Carlos say to her then goes off along with one he called devil as the baby was now awake and crying

Brian looked at Carlos's retreating back.

"I wonder how his people support their economy with such a huge army and so few workers," he said to Philomena. Then: "Hey, does anyone want to find a bar? Some old state secrets inside of me need drowning with some good old-fashioned alcohol."

He grinned, kind of self-consciously, at Philomena. "And could I buy you a drink while we're at it?"

"that none of your business how my Husband and his poeple run the nation"said a Woman holding a baby as she walked up the hall way with a group of ladies

Brian looked at Carlos's retreating back.

"I wonder how his people support their economy with such a huge army and so few workers," he said to Philomena. Then: "Hey, does anyone want to find a bar? Some old state secrets inside of me need drowning with some good old-fashioned alcohol."

He grinned, kind of self-consciously, at Philomena. "And could I buy you a drink while we're at it?"

Philomena smiled. "....One may assume that the military of his nation governs the land according to militarist doctrines or that they simply have found a unique way out of alternate politics and economics to support the economy of their nation. As for buying me a drink, I wouldn't mind at all. I hope, though, you will not mind my bodyguard observing us."

Philomena began to walk towards the bar and grinned. "....He's just a bit overzealous in my opinion but he won't disturb us lest you do something to provoke him."

"cheery people, aren't they?" said Brian.

He made his way to the bar.

"A beer, please," he said to the bartender. "And what do you want?" he asked Philomena.

ooc just don't wait for the op to do bartender
IC

"oh she just pissed off with a foreign news report,i'am maze she not smashed her phone"said Carlos

"oh my ice" he added as the bartender hand him a bucket

"What'd he do?" said Brian with interest. At the same time, he was wondering what his chances were of getting Lanus drunk enough to have him... well, simply not being there would be enough.

OOC: Lanus could get drunk, Tanuri, but he probably would not. He would pretty much only leave if Philomena would tell him but he'd still be a tad close by; it all depends, really, on the situation.

Philomena smiled. "....If they have wine, I'd like to have a glass of that but I'd definately like to try a drink native to this region but, then again, a glass of wine would be alright with me."

"i not know, i did tell her not to talk to any when she was back home in Ixania seeing her family as this would happen"said Carlos

"four bottles of vodka"

"let me guess colonel for later"said Carlos

"yes major for tonight"

ooc: of course, Brian wouldn't know this. he'd expect it, but not know it. I'll do what Isa did and RP the bartender, don't see a need to wait for Feninia to turn up. of course, this means I won't know any local drinks, so wine it is.

The bartender gave them both their drinks. Brian thanked him/her and paid immediately.

He took a sip. Sweet, vice-ridden heaven.

"It's been too long," he said to no one in particular.

"So, what's life like as leader of a nation? Plots and schemes?" There was no way he could judge, seeing as how his job centered around those. He looked over at Lanus with professional interest, judging what weapons he may be carrying. Still, his eyes were mostly on Philomena.

ooc Tanuri so you know in the last thread every one end up RPing the bartender

ooc: thanks

"expecting a wild party, are we?" said Brian to the isans. "Don't let some of the soldiers drink... funny things happen when all the guards are drunk. I should know: I've been there, done that."

ooc Imperials for MT/MPT Isan for FT

IC

"they get shot for drinking on duty and not doing their duty"answer Carlos as he put his right foot into the ice

"hurt myself" he added

"wild party huh hoping too "answer the colonel

Brian flinched.

"Well, I can kind of see why," he said. "The things I've been able to do while guards were drunk..." he looked at Lanus. "hey, man, want a drink?" he asked jokingly.

"So, what's life like as leader of a nation? Plots and schemes?" There was no way he could judge, seeing as how his job centered around those. He looked over at Lanus with professional interest, judging what weapons he may be carrying. Still, his eyes were mostly on Philomena.

Philomena smiled.

"....To be honest, I never expected to be the leader of a nation but I must say that it is pretty good despite all of the challenges you have to face as the nation's highest ranking politician. My father, the previous leader, appointed me as his successor right before he died. In Aresium, all leaders have the full authority to designate a successor and, therefore, we must depend upon their political talents, if any, for our survival. So far, I've done pretty good in the hearts and minds of the people. Lanus here has been my bodyguard since I was thirteen. After all, I was the daughter of the nation's leader."

Philomena took a sip of her wine. "....I have tried to get Aresium into the international stage because I loathe the concept of isolationism and because I want the world to understand us and for us to understand the world. I've done some traveling; recently I went to a ball in Motokata and I must say it's all been very enlightening. Perhaps, Brian, you could come to Aresium as a tourist. We've been meaning to open our borders to such people."

Brian flinched.

"Well, I can kind of see why," he said. "The things I've been able to do while guards were drunk..." he looked at Lanus. "hey, man, want a drink?" he asked jokingly.

"Maybe later."

"maybe," he said. "it's not as if I haven't been stockpiling vacation time since I got out of college. I could go there right after I leave here."

"Motokata you say Ma-am mm i order someone to got to that an i too took over when i lost my father"said Carlos

"well seeing as how you're an emperor, that's not too surprising."

"i'am only emperor as the military did not over turn me taking over right after he got killed"said Carlos

"yes one of the Generals walk in to your officer an told he was killed, an you now have the job and get straight to work"

"Fancy," he said sarcastically. "Now, frankly, i don't give a damn what happens with the king on Montenista. he's obsolete." Of course, the people on Montenista thought differently, thus creating Tanuri's biggest political conflict... but he wouldn't mention that now.

"maybe," he said. "it's not as if I haven't been stockpiling vacation time since I got out of college. I could go there right after I leave here."

"....I am sure you could do that, Brian. I would hope that you would have a good time in my nation. Just make sure you keep yourself out of harm's way during the visit."

"Fancy," he said sarcastically. "Now, frankly, i don't give a damn what happens with the king on Montenista. he's obsolete." Of course, the people on Montenista thought differently, thus creating Tanuri's biggest political conflict... but he wouldn't mention that now.

'you free to do what you want ,end of the day in my nation they kick me out i'll still be a major like i was before my father was killed"said Carlos

"you Wife heading this way"

A cab pulls up in front of the resort and Theo steps out, holding both his bag and laptop case in one hand. After waving and giving his thanks to the cab driver, He looks at the resort.

This should be a good place to get through my writer's block he thought.

Bump for Osteia.

Milly was glad more visitors were gracing her retreat, she saw Theo and smiled.
'writer.....perhaps he needs a story line' she thought to herself.

'welcome to the spa.....' she said warmly.

"Oh, didn't expect service to be this quick... would you mind if I asked your name?" Theo said as he approached Milly.

"Oh, didn't expect service to be this quick... would you mind if I asked your name?" Theo said as he approached Milly.

'My name is Milly' she said smiling.
'I can tell.....your an author, I recognise your face' she said softly,

'hey did not someone marry someone from this nation "asked Carlos

"yur some young Sergeant"answer the Colonel

Mark regognised Milly's face, he calmly walked over and stood a short distance away from her as she was already engaged in a convosation.

"Hey, could you wait a bit?" Brian asked Philomena. "I'd like to sign in... sorry about this."

He walked over to Milly.

"Hey, could you wait a bit?" Brian asked Philomena. "I'd like to sign in... sorry about this."

He walked over to Milly.

"....No problem, Brian. I can wait here; thank goodness I was able to sign in earlier with one of the clerks."

"an who are you"asked Carlos Wife to Philomena

"an who are you"asked Carlos Wife to Philomena

"....I am Philomena Kosseri, the leader of the Republic of Aresium. You must be the wife of His Majesty; it's a pleasure to meet you."

"....I am Philomena Kosseri, the leader of the Republic of Aresium. You must be the wife of His Majesty; it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Valentina "said Valentina as she sips at her glass of water

"so what bring you here Philomena"she asked when she finished

ooc: if no one minds I'll just take over one of the clerks to get this over with, I doubt I'll get a response for a long time

Brian came back with his keys and sat down again on an empty stool near Philomena.

"So how many people have you hauled here again?" he asked Valentina, continuing to type away at his PeaPod. he always did that when he came somewhere new.

"Thank you, Milly." Theo smiled back. "I didn't know I had any recognition outside Mass Prediction."
"Then again I'm sorry if I'm taking up your time. I'm sure that this wonderful resort has quite a few patrons to take care of. Is there anywhere I need to go before I, you know, rest?"

"So how many people have you hauled here again?" he asked Valentina, continuing to type away at his PeaPod. he always did that when he came somewhere new.

"do you mind can't you see i'am busy talking with Philomena "said Valentina

ooc: if no one minds I'll just take over one of the clerks to get this over with, I doubt I'll get a response for a long time

Brian came back with his keys and sat down again on an empty stool near Philomena.

"So how many people have you hauled here again?" he asked Valentina, continuing to type away at his PeaPod. he always did that when he came somewhere new.

"......Did you get a good room, Brian? I did; I have my own room and so does my bodyguard and my personal assistant who is, at this time, on a date with a girl from Osteia."

"Valentina "said Valentina as she sips at her glass of water

"so what bring you here Philomena"she asked when she finished

"....The desire to relax and take a break from politics whilst traveling around the world brought me here."

"....The desire to relax and take a break from politics whilst traveling around the world brought me here."

"i don't do any politics ,all i do now is look after the twins and our apartment while he works " Valentina said as she turns to look at Carlos

"It's been awhile,that he or the who he talking to ,had time off"

"i don't do any politics ,all i do now is look after the twins and our apartment while he works " Valentina said as she turns to look at Carlos

"It's been awhile,that he or the who he talking to ,had time off"

"......I don't have any children myself but I'd only want some with the right man. With the right man, one is confident that she can raise children properly with him. Sadly, though, I haven't found the right man."

"......I don't have any children myself but I'd only want some with the right man. With the right man, one is confident that she can raise children properly with him. Sadly, though, I haven't found the right man."

"when i met , fill in love with and married Carlos i was 21,when i had the twins i was still 23"said Valentina as Carlos walks over

"Thank you, Milly." Theo smiled back. "I didn't know I had any recognition outside Mass Prediction."
"Then again I'm sorry if I'm taking up your time. I'm sure that this wonderful resort has quite a few patrons to take care of. Is there anywhere I need to go before I, you know, rest?"

Milly spotted Mark and took a deep breath, she was trying to forget about the island - but she was keen to see him again.

'Yes I am sure I have read one of your books, what genre do you specialise in?' she asked, she raked through her shelf and pulled one of his classics out.

'there' she said, she handed it to him

Mark noticed Milly glance at him. She looks well he thought, betta just wait till she's free.

Milly handed Theo the book and went over to Mark, she was wearing some little shorts showing her slightly bruised in places legs with a baggy jumper, her now short hair was in little pig tails

"Hi" said Mark, a little nervous

she flung her arms around him and sobbed into his shoulder, her warm tears rolled down her soft cheeks.

He put his arms round her too, "Hey, its ok" he whispered into her ear

'Mark, everyones dead......' she said softly and quietly.

" Sergeant Blade Stone that one he married a Princess,he the one i was thinking of when i asked you if someone married someone from here"said Carlos

"yes that the one"said Colonel as he sips his water

Mark paused, he didn't know what to say, so he just continued to hug her and listen.

"Shut up," he retorted to Valentina curtly. "I was talking with her too- and we're not in your country. And yes, Philomena, I did get a nice room- thanks for asking. And I've got to say, your personal assistant seems to be doing himself nicely for having been here such a short time."

He ordered another drink- whiskey this time. The PeaPod was still out, and he was typing away at it.

"I really need to get away from my work," he said sheepishly. "it's just so hard." He paused, then: "Am I the only person here who isn't directly in politics?"

"Shut up," he retorted to Valentina curtly. "I was talking with her too- and we're not in your country. And yes, Philomena, I did get a nice room- thanks for asking. And I've got to say, your personal assistant seems to be doing himself nicely for having been here such a short time."

He ordered another drink- whiskey this time. The PeaPod was still out, and he was typing away at it.

"I really need to get away from my work," he said sheepishly. "it's just so hard." He paused, then: "Am I the only person here who isn't directly in politics?"

"go fuck yourself i was still talking when you butt in and no your not i have nothing to do with it at all not matter who i'am married to"said Valentina

"go fuck yourself i was still talk when you butt in and no your not i have nothing to do with it at all not matter who i'am married to"said Valentina

OOC: Isa, I don't think I designed Valentina to be like that. :p

"I was talking to her before," he said evenly, "and I went over for a short bit to sign in, with every intention of coming back, which I told her about beforehand." Contrasting his peaceful, easy words were the gun which he removed from his suit and was now gently running his fingers over as it lay on the counter.
Don't fuck with me, was the message clearly intended.

OOC: Isa, I don't think I designed Valentina to be like that. :p
ooc still editing i was working on two post at same time and post in wrong thread

"Shut up," he retorted to Valentina curtly. "I was talking with her too- and we're not in your country. And yes, Philomena, I did get a nice room- thanks for asking. And I've got to say, your personal assistant seems to be doing himself nicely for having been here such a short time."

"I really need to get away from my work," he said sheepishly. "it's just so hard." He paused, then: "Am I the only person here who isn't directly in politics?"

Philomena sighed. She didn't really want to hear debates between people during her vacation especially since such things were what she wanted to escape from during her trip to the spa retreat. However, she kept her silence in the midst of it.

".....I took this vacation merely out of a desire to see new places and to get away from my work. I am pretty sure that Aresium can manage without my presence because I trust the hard working people whom I work with to make sure everything is good and in order by the time I return."

Philomena finished her wine and smiled. "...I do think you ought to visit Aresium, Brian, if you ever have the chance. It's a lovely nation with plenty of natural beauty and amiable people."

"I was talking to her before," he said evenly, "and I went over for a short bit to sign in, with every intention of coming back, which I told her about beforehand." Contrasting his peaceful, easy words were the gun which he removed from his suit and was now gently running his fingers over as it lay on the counter.
Don't fuck with me, was the message clearly intended.

Philomena sighed again while Lanus immediately threw his hand to his gun in case he saw it fit to pull it out and, to his misfortune, have to use it to disable or kill someone. A firefight betwen Brian and the Imperials would surely put Philomena in trouble, he thought, and it was possible that it could even bring an end to her life. This was something Lanus could not handle. He walked up to Brian and put a hand on his shoulder with no emotion on his face:

"....Do not resort to drastic measures when they are not needed."

'i say Philomena he not really smart threating me with gun when i have others who are armed an will shot to kill"said Valentina

ooc: he's not holding the gun. it's flat on the counter and he's running his fingers over it. your people are more belligerent than he is. he's really passive right now.

"What drastic measures?" he asked. "It's just a habit, you know, something to do with my hands. if I wanted to shoot someone I could have stayed home. see, the safety's on."

He turned towards Philomena. "i'm sorry, it's habitual in my line of work. Speak softly and carry a big stick... or a handgun."

"heard the saying before so what you two drinking"asked Valentina as she waved to the barman

".....Is it really necessary, Brian, for you and the Imperial Empress to go around with threats of shooting people if they keep pushing your buttons? No, it is not. For the safety of Philomena and the others who are staying here, I must ask you both to cease what you are doing." Lanus said.

Philomena nodded her head. "......I agree with Lanus. Let us not have this debate escalate when it need not have to."

"Whiskey for me," said brian to Valentina, "and wine for her. actually," he said, looking at Philomena, 'do you need any more? And when did I say I was going to shoot someone?"

"Whiskey for me," said brian, "and wine for her. actually," he said, looking at Philomena, 'do you need any more?"

"....I think I will have a cranberry juice instead, actually; I really do not want to get drunk here."

"i never said any threats ,just said what is fact Imperials shot back when fired at" Valentina said as the order was placed with the barman

"....I think I will have a cranberry juice instead, actually; I really do not want to get drunk here."

"Sure," he said, ordering one. Technically, she had only agreed to him buying her one drink, but he'd take the liberty of a second.

the Barman return an placed the drinks in front them

"sorry for what i said Brian i've had a hard week and i picked things up from my Husband"said Valentina as she takes her glass

"yeah, whatever,' he said, waving it away. "it's fine." of course, her picking things up from her husband said bad things about Carlos, but he wouldn't mention that. "So how many people did you bring here anyway?"

""bad of him on letting me copy him in things"Valentina said to herself as she sips her drink

"an why do you need to know when it nothing to do with you"said the Colonel as he moved to stand at the bar

"well, I'd like to know how many of you I'm likely to run into during my stay here," he said mildly. His PeaPod had some more notes written down and was then put away.

"usstan said alu vith dosstan ulu ukta usstan llaar zhal'la naut"Valentina said to Colonel
"yes you shouldn't"he answer her before facing Brian

"guess as you not getting told"

ooc i'am guessing too as someone joining a Character with my lot when they have time

"Thank you, Brian."

Philomena took some sips of her cranberry juice before having a brief discussion with Lanus in the Aresian language which was mostly about how the tension seemed to have dissipated and how everything was stable at the moment. "....I must say that it's good to see you two at peace now; we wouldn't want to have any needless bloodshed because of your feud."

The aura of peace and beauty came upon Philomena as she flashed her pearl white teeth at Brian to compliment him for, in essence, doing the right thing in not trying to escalate the newly born feud with Empress Valentina; if he had, Philomena probably would have had to endure a firefight whilst watching Lanus deal with the scuffle in the old fashioned way with which he was accustomed. It didn't take long for Philomena to finish her juice before she got up from her seat. "....I think I will take my leave now, Brian. It was nice meeting you and the Imperials."

OOC: Tanuri, if you want something to happen between Brian and Philomena, I am open to it. However, nothing is certain so don't think she will definately go with him. She may go with anyone; it depends on who I think would be best. :p

ooc: sure. personally, i think it's a good idea.

"Well, i'll be seeing you," he said to her. "I really should go drop my stuff off in my room." he drained his glass and walked off.

ooc: sure. personally, i think it's a good idea.

"Well, i'll be seeing you," he said to her. "I really should go drop my stuff off in my room." he drained his glass and walked off.

OOC: Then feel free to have him gamble for her heart. :tongue:

Valentina and the Colonel where join by another Colonel

"sir"said the Colonel to the new one

"stand down ,Valentina Carlos want you"

"where is he David"asked Valentina

"with the twins"said David as he turn to walk away as Alex join him

OOC only you two who really cares

OOC: Imperial isa, Aresium, and Tanuri, you guys RP way too fast for me. :p

Theo saw Milly crying and knew it was time to go. I just hope I don't end up leaving depressed he thought. As he walked up the steps into the lobby, he noticed the book Milly handed him was Auburn Dusk, one of his personal favorites.

Theo then walked up to the front desk and waited.

OOC MP just do the checking in yourself

ooc: yeah (everyone likes second opinions)

Once in his room Brian took a long shower. He then changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt emblazoned with the Democratic Tanuri Military Intelligence logo on it. He decided to leave his primary handgun in a safe box in the room. however, he did conceal his police baton, along with a pair of handcuffs. years of training could not leave him now so easily. then he grabbed his wallet and walked out along the beach.

ooc: is there an actual spa here?

After checking in, Theo seated himself at the bar.

bump

"Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the...
FLOORRR!!!!

Beaten, why for (why for)
Can't take much more

here we go, here we go, here we go now"

"hey barman whisky on the rocks" asked David as he near the bar

Faye was newly employed, she was spinning drinks on her finger, experienced in such places as Las Vegas and NYC she knew this would be easy.

she saw Theo.
'Is everything alright?' she asked

"Lieutenant Sparrow what can i do for you"asked David as Sparrow walked up to him at the bar

"the report you asked for sir"said Sparrow handing David a file

"thank"David say as he takes it

OOC: Ok, sorry im back, i travel for work. Is there any way we could continue Aresium?

OOC: Ok, sorry im back, i travel for work. Is there any way we could continue Aresium?

OOC: Of course! I was waiting for you to return so we could continue. Right now, Yani is still waiting for Anna Maria to respond....and to hopefully choose him over the lieutenant he doesn't know about. :p

OOC: Of course! I was waiting for you to return so we could continue. Right now, Yani is still waiting for Anna Maria to respond....and to hopefully choose him over the lieutenant he doesn't know about. :p

OOC: Ok, right on..linkage? Lol

OOC: Ok, right on..linkage? Lol

OOC: Just look back a couple of pages in this thread. :tongue:

"Lets go sit down and have a chat" Mark said to Milly

OOC: Posting as my puppet, Aresium.

Yani was amazed yet again by the stunning beauty of Anna Maria when he first saw her as the door opened to reveal the foreign and exotic demi-goddess he had the fortune of dating tonight. He examined her closely, albeit briefly, and smiled. This must be some sort of dream. ".....You look....absolutely gorgeous tonight, Anna. That's all I can muster myself up to say about it. Shall we go?"

He extended his hand and smiled. "....I think that we'll have a splendid time tonight and I hope we get to learn more about each other and where we come from."

They didn't take long to get to the restaurant which Yani had called prior to picking up Anna Maria to reserve a table which he demanded to be made all romantic and sensual so as to entice Anna Maria into falling for him. If she was single and receptive, it would work but if she was taken, well, at least he had a date with her, this goddess-on-earth. Finding the table he reserved in a VIP or private room and which was adorned with any item considered of romantic value, Yani helped Anna Maria into her seat and restrained the urge to stare at her backside as she walked ahead of him. God forbid he should be looking like a pervert. Besides, if he did good, wouldn't she give him a taste of the nectar? Once Yani had helped her, he took his own seat and smiled before calling for a waiter: "....Anna Maria, I must ask you. Where do you come from? What hobbies do you have? Please tell me more about yourself; about the very lovely and supremely gorgeous woman I have met! I'm very interested in learning all that there is to know about the complex splendor that is Anna Maria Vespillio."

Anna Maria walked ahead of Yani to the reserved VIP private booth, she smiled as he helped her to seat at the table, "Ohh, a gentleman, you even discreetly cheaked me out, it's the obvious ones who creep me out..", she continued to grin and replyed to his questions, "Well, i come from Osteia...a disfuctional home?..i was privillaged growing up, i am a spitting image of my mother who passed away when i was young, i have two brothers and my father...im a daddys girl.."

She brought the delicate wine glass to her lushious lips and took a gentle sip,

"What else?" She looked him directly in the the eyes waiting for a responce...

Brian walked along the beach, the waves lapping peacefully on the shore. He found an umbrella, sat down, and started to meditate.

"Oh, nothing. I've just contracted writer's block." Theo said back to Faye. When he looked up he was silent for a short time until he said, "Now what would your name be?" Theo smiled.
