IC:


Tudhâliya House, Tejaara, Sring Issa Region, Snefaldia

Brief clashes of metal broke the idyllic afternoon, two forms in white moved forward and back in a beautiful arrhythmia, steel flashing forward and back, pointed into the air until a final error, a final mistake, a final clash of the blades and the completion, a bent blade and a point.

Márko Hønyŕ pulled his mask off, a wide grin plastered across his flushed face.

"I told you, watch for the preparation! I always catch you with coup lancé."

Across from him, his friend Alásândr Yåmlö removed his mask with a half-grimace, half smirk, and saluted with his foil. The two young men shook hands, breathing heavily, and gave a quick hug. They walked over to a bench for water.

"I think that's enough for today, Mark. I'm just exhausted."

"Oh, now I'm surprised."

"Haha, Mr. Athletic." he unzipped his jacket and sat down on a bench. "So, you haven't told me what your latest adventure is going to be. You told me it was something fun, and I doubt very much beating me three bouts in a row is that something."

Márko laughed. "No, it's much more fun."

Márko Hønyŕ was the son of the Marquis Hønyŕ, and a one of the brightest and most eligible young men in the nation. He recieved a degree in sociology from the University of Snefaldia just last year, and when he turned 22 a month after had begun embarking on all manner of headline-catching escapades with his friends and his father's money. Contrary to what one would think, he was actually quite respectable and courteous- the sort of antics he got up to involved making politicians stumble over their words during conversation, as well as disappointing the young ladies of the international community by publicly cavorting with attractive young men.

Which, in Snefaldia was not particularly scandalous, but the poor girls must have felt very disappointed when turned down. For the young aristocrat, it was about the interplay of people and the expectations they had of him. Sons of nobilitiy were expected to conform to a set of rules, and romantic attachments to men and humiliation of political luminaries was not one of them.

"No, it's much more fun that fencing." he went on. "Look at this here."

He handed his friend a letter, who chuckled. "My my, this young man is certainly treading dangerous water, isn't he? Just opening himself up to the world, my god, what does he think he'll get?"

Márko grinned mischeviously. "Who do you think?"

"You're not. Be serious! You can't play your games with people's hearts."

"Why not? I do it with those countless women who send me their letters and hopes and underwear, why not this naive royal?"

"It's not right."

"Nothing ever is. But it'll be interesting. And besides, I already sent in my name."

"But what's your dad going to say? I can' t imagine he'll approve."

"Ala, he never gave a flying fuck when I kissed the 19-year-old Count of Yaigo on national television. Why would he care now?"

"The Count of Yaigo wasn't trying to marry you, just trying to get into your pants."

"Touche. But anyway, it'll be a trip to ViZion regardless. We're only young once, Ala."

The friend shook his head and grinned, zipping up his jacket and strapping his glove up.

"Gear up, playboy. Maestro Tolman has been giving me lessons, and I think it's time to try them out."

With mock surprise and a friendly grin, his friend threw on his mask and prepared to bout.

Full Name: Márko Hønyŕ
Nationality: Snefaldian
Age: 22
Biography: Son of the Marquis Hønyŕ, an old-money Sringi aristocrat who works in the Ministry of Commerce, Márko graduated summa cum laude from the University of Snefaldia with a degree in sociology, which he puts to good use by spending his father's money and enjoying his youth. Highly intelligent and very observant, he is nonetheless considered one of Snefaldia's most notorious playboys (even if the term is used somewhat differently in the country) and is regularly featured on pop culture shows as a pinnacle of style, intelligence, and what to do with yourself when you have a lot of money.
Attitude: Witty, erudite, seductive, wholesome, and eclectic are all terms that can be applied at one time or another. While his reputation as a playboy is well-constructed, he is actually quite kind and considerate. The seeming litany of attractive men of high birth and popular station he claims to be only friends with, despite the news, and has only ever had two committed relationships- as he said in an interview with Korsa Awake!, "I really view love as something special, something separate from what many people my age do. I've never given myself away, despite what people write. I care about minds and behavior."
Physical Description
Any Other Information: Avid fencer and writer, has published several short satires and stories. Speaks the five major languages of Snefaldia fluently, as well as passable French and some Mandarin Chinese.

A blue and white CV-35 landed on the tarmac of the military base. Normally, civilian planes weren't allowed to land, but this was an exception. Along the fuselage, the words GE Dynamics were written in stylized calligraphy. As it stopped, a ramp descended, and a man in a three-piece suit stepped out. From the runway, an orange-haired young man in Air Force gray walked towards the awaiting aircraft.

"Master Adelai, you're looking well," the man addressed him.

"So are you, Old Man," Adelai greeted him. The two embraced for a second before Adelai gathered up his duffel and followed into the transport.

"Everything is awaiting you as requested," the 'Old Man,' whose real name was Donald, said. "But, your father wishes me to tell you he is still apprehensive about this Kilo gentleman."

"Fist he worries because I am and now..." Adelai muttered as he took his seat.

"All fathers worry for their sons," Donald answered. He took his own seat and added, "Begging your Master's pardon."

"No, it's okay," Adelai responded. He looked out the window as the runway began to roll away beneath them. "Donald...tell me I'm doing the right thing..."

"Master Addy, you've always done the right thing," Donald assured him.

Nick Kilo

Joseph was a little flustered. He'd heard many great things about Nick Kilo and thought he would be quite a catch. However, he didn't expect to get a reply, especially so soon after sending in his information.

He paced around his room, looking toward the wall with a faraway expression and shook his head vigourously as if he were trying to shake the doubt from his mind.

What if, he thought. What if I'm not good enough for Nick? He looked at the picture again and thought about Nick's background. He knew if he did end up dating that he'd suddenly be in the public eye. He knew the Sarzonian media wouldn't pursue him too heavily. They were too busy focusing on the election campaign.

But ViZion media? That was the unknown element. The X-factor, if you will. He had to prepare himself to face scrutiny like he'd never faced before.

Fortunately, he had a very supportive family to draw from. His sister walked into the room and put her hand on the small of Joseph's back.

"You afraid of being rejected, aren't you?"

"Uh, yeah Katie, I am," Joseph said quietly. He almost didn't want to admit it himself, but he dreaded the prospect of a long plane ride to ViZion, only to return empty handed.

"Remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained," she said. She smirked and said something she was sure would get a laugh. "If he weren't gay, I'd so hit it."

Within seconds, Joseph was doubled over, laughing hysterically. He then heard his brother, the one person he was most worried about back when he came out, say something that would keep him laughing several minutes longer.

"Dude, I'd hit it."

When he finally composed himself, Joseph sat down and wrote his response.

Dear Nick,

I would love to come visit you in ViZion. I've heard a lot about your country; plus, I'd like to get to know you a little better.

I'll be available to fly there in about a week. I look forward to meeting you.

-- Joseph

Joseph sent the message and felt his nerves start to return. It wasn't just nerves. He was excited, but he was also scared. How would he pay for a trip to ViZion?

He began to log onto his bank's Web site to check his account balance when his father walked in with plane tickets in hand. His mother walked in with a sheet of paper.

"We're giving you an early birthday present," Joseph's father Clark said. "A round trip ticket to ViZion."

"Here's the confirmation. If you need a hotel, here's some information for you. Give us a call and we'll cover it.

"And here's your passport," his brother Ken said with a smirk. "You big stinker."

Joseph smiled again. Damn it felt good to have a supportive family.

Joseph Andrews,

It is good to hear back from you. One week would we wonderful! I have heard much of your country, too, but have never met anyone from Sarzonia. I am sure you are most fitting of representing your country. I look forward to meeting you, I am very excited.

You can call me at (1-7324) 7386-2205. It will not cost you long distance, something I have in my phone contract. It's quite a useful addition. Again, I am excited to meet you and I cannot wait until next week!

Nick Kilo

OOC: you can post if you want in the RP thread, I'm allowing a max of 2 RPs at any given time to limit any confusion, and since you're the 2nd to reply, you can go ahead now or wait. :)

Dmitry Golovko,

I would be pleased to get to know you, Dmitry. Although I am curious how you 'lashed out' at your fellow students. None the less, it would be nice to meet you. When do you think you will be available to come to ViZion?

Mr. Kilo,

Thank you, sir. My 'lashing out' was mainly embarssing them in public, which I will explain further if asked. As for when I can meet you, I would say sometime tomorrow evening.

Full Name: Niko Vladikovic
Nationality: Russian section of The Northern Baltic
Age: 19
Biography: Niko lived a rather average childhood. He came out when he was 14, though, due to the culture and society of The Northern Baltic, it was taken well by his family and friends. He is currently attending a good (but not excellent) school in the Russian section of The Northern Baltic. Originally, he attended an excellent school, but disliked the uptight and overly focused attitudes of the kids there, so he requested a transfer.
Attitude: Relaxed most of the time, but passionate when it comes to issues he's concerned about (like freedom, politics, etc.,)
Physical Description and/or Picture: http://images.wikia.com/gtawiki/images/1/1a/Gta4-niko-bellic1.jpg
Any Other Information: He is a passionate Socialist and, because of his role as President of his College's political club, he enjoys arguing politics, if the other person enjoys doing so.

Harvard Forthright,

You're a little younger than I expected for someone to send in, but seeing at the age for marriage is at seventeen years old, I am willing to meet with you. I have heard of the situation from your homeland, and I am very glad you escaped the situation.

Do you know when you would be able to make it to ViZion?
