Greetings, national leaders! Are you the sort of leader who wants to travel and who wants to experience the culinary and cultural wonders of the world? Do you want to make a new friend in the world for your nation? Do you want to make new friends on a personal level? If so, then the upcoming Castle Feast in Cloverford is where you want to be! The Castle Feast will be held at the impressive Baroque manor of a local aristocrat who has offered to have the feast held in his household. This weekend will be when the Castle Feast is held so we urge national leaders and possibly their loved ones to RSVP as soon as they can. Please bring, with you, only about five to ten security guards with minimal arms since security will be handled by our government. Princess Zelda of the House of Plantagenet will be attending the feast along with our Foreign Minister, Damien Aghion, and plenty of other esteemed guests. Please note that we will gladly make food free of allergy causing ingredients if we are notified in advance of any such needs. Children are welcome to attend though we request strict supervision so they won't end up injured. National leaders of all ideological backgrounds may attend as long as they abide by the rules laid out at the feast such as not causing violence or inciting tension. There will be a chance to request audiences with Aghion and the Reigning Princess at this feast. The itinerary reflects our nation's medieval English heritage and so there will be dancing and the like at this event. If you have any questions or concerns, please send them to us and we will do our best to answer them.

Guidelines:
1. NO assassinations, etc at all. Participants who attempt such things will be kicked out of the RP as a result.
2. Your national leaders may bring loved ones such as wives and children to this feast but they are under the same rules as the leaders who attend. Bachelors should note that Zelda is single but she will be marrying a count from Van Luxembourg later this month so she will not favorably respond to them. However, I shall create local gals for their attention. If foreign females would like to have a Cloverfordian man attend to them then that can be done as well.
3. Diplomacy can be handled solely by Aghion. He is the one you ought to talk with if you want embassy exchanges and so forth. Zelda can give support to diplomatic ventures but she'll tell you to speak with Aghion about them.
4. Leaders of all ideological backgrounds are welcome to attend and this includes Fascists, Communists, Anarchists and so forth. I'm going to ask that you don't try to incite rebellion. You can talk about your views, perhaps try to convert people, but don't try to get people to pull a Louis XVI on the poor Princess. ;)
5. Lastly, let's all just have fun. This is the OOC thread so all OOC posts should be put here in this thread.

Stewardess' Suite, Palace of the Revolution; Tailville DR, Wagdog
The lights of the capital shone brightly as always, accentuating the warmth of the suite Christine Friedrich shared with her common-law husband the Vice-Steward Consort, His Excellency Charles David Lind; and their various other intimates at any given time if all parties so desired on rare occasion. She noticed the message from Cloverford while lounging around on the First Empire-style four-poster bed which dominated the suite's main bedroom, employing her computer for random drabbling in her diary or other such private writings; naturally she was intrigued immediately and brought up her e-mail client to send the following to her dearest of friends among women. One second in her heart to none, equal to her man, and ready if she wished for her polite debut on the world hobnobbing circut.

Hey Princess, I found this (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=14278230&postcount=1) while going through the State Department communiques for the day, before i hit bed. Feel like maybe accompanying me, our first 'official' event together? We couldn't get much time during the Delian League Emergency Summit apart from after those adjourned for the nights; and though yes those were delicious dalliances, all the same I still dislike when outside politics interrupts my quality time with either you or Charles.

You don't have to go if you'd rather not provoke undue attention baby, but I believe it'd be a sweet idea all the same. ;) 'Out and Proud' is always better than hiding away for fear some crumbling dynasts get all colicky again about two women heads of state taking their friendship to the proverbial next level of their own free will. I don't think they will here personally; especially not if we handle ourselves like the professionals we are by day, of course. If they doth protest too much however I'll just drop the hubby-bomb on 'em too and see how they like that little kettle of rhubarb, besides. :p

Either way, let me know as soon as you decide so I can help those slugs at State move for once in their careers. Seeing as the view from Air Revolutionary Guard One is always just dreadful without windows, some pussyfooted anti-flash protocol on the Il-87 national-command jets I mostly use for the job (so I'm away as rarely as possible from access to my 'last arguments' if somebody gets snappish enough to deserve their use, you see); do you mind if I drop by Lilica to hop on RAF One? It'd probably look less 'paranoid' of us besides, even if I for one don't particularly give as much a damn about looking 'sufficiently defenseless' for foreign potentates' stomachs' benefit as I perhaps should.

Blessings Upon You Always, My Love and My Strength...
Chrissy

That sent, Christine then penned the quick note to the Cloverfordian government indicating her desire to attend. Best to do it herself so as to be as aboveboard as possible and desirable where making new friends.

Official Revolutionary Commonwealth Memorandum of Interest
To Her Royal Highness, Princess Zelda Plantagenet of Cloverford, and the Government thereof...

I would be delighted to attend this feast your nation has organized, and am presently arranging my transportation by air immediately. I will be coming, unless plans change, aboard Animarnian Royal Air Force One in the company of my dearest friend and ally Animarnian President Molly DeLèan; thus I shall be sharing her guard detail.

I must however ask about what personal armament is allowed myself and Madame President DeLèan, if any. If it is not well I can accept for the sake of propriety despite my private feelings on the matter of the right to keep and bear arms for one's personal safety whatever their station; which shall reman so, I assure.

In any case, I and my Government eagerly await the reply of yours on this matter.

Stewardess Friedrich,

It has come to our attention that you have expressed an interest in attending our feast which has filled us with much pleasure and which we hope shall culminate in your actual presence at the said feast. You have also asked us about being accompanied by President DeLèan who, indeed, would be welcomed as much as you would be at our feast.

Personal armament should be restrained to small arms due to the fact that we have security for the most part at this event and, plus, we do not want to give an unintended image of this feast to others.

Both you and Miss DeLèan have nothing to fear and we hope you both shall be seen at our feast. Thank you for your interest, Stewardess, and may you have a pleasant time in Cloverford.

Damien Aghion,

(OOC: Sorry if this comes out rushed, I've got a bit of insomnia at the moment seing as its...10:30am my time and I havn't slept yet, so any spelling errors just pretend I used 'creative spelling' and thirdspace it into the word I meant to use)

Molly DeLèan, President of the Fortress States, most powerful woman in all of Animarnia, sat in her office, she hadn't really got around yet to changing the decor, the room was still very much René's in that it was her personality; she smiled to herself someone had once told her that people who live in once place for long enough leave part of themselves behind in the walls when they are no longer there; and to Molly this seemed very true though she very much missed the part of René that was leaving; and was comforted by the part of her that was staying, having won a Run off election by a landslide against then Home Minister Ed Benton, who was now Deputy Security Minister for Central Security & Intelegence Services or CSIS, which was born in the aftermath of Friedmans assassination, CSIS was now a much more streamlined department; of course she stilled remembered her first day with folder stacks waist high pilled up ontop of each other all waiting for her attention ranging from Troop movment reports or other regional powers to hostile nations, to league matters though Molly had never truely embraced the full spirit of the league, after all her grand mother said - "True strength only comes from standing on your own and to be dependent on another for ones own nationhood is foolishness" that and "we only know who our friend are when we need them its easy to make comitments when your own balls are not in the fire; its not so easy to back up when you have something on the line to lose"

Another task of course was managing the blacklist of nations that support Terror it was all a huge mess to get on top of for a new president but then out of nowhere had come Christine Lind Friedrich like a godsend sent from the heavens with an almost serene grace, whom had steady helped teach her to deligate files to departments 'because your the president, you can do what you like, within reason'; no one ever teachs you that before you become president she thought back about the blonde woman with a small smile as she read over one of her latest files about piracy in Novan waters, her Defence Minister, a monolith of a woman, 40 years old and with more balls than a lot of men she knew had prepared to Dossier for her to try and convince her that it was worth increasing Naval Patrols around Animarnian Waters to guard against pirate attacks. it was as she was signing this order when her Laptop beeped and showed that annoying little paperclip man waving a letter about crowing with unabated glee in that annoying sickly tone 'you got mail'

she opened her mail program and read over its contents, 1 new message, Christine Lind Friedrich - Subject: No Subject - Encryption: Yes she smiled damn it how exactly that woman knew eactly when to email her when she was thinking about her was a mystery; she entered the decryption code and the cypher-text changed to plain text; she quickly read over the message her fingers began typing the reply

Well Sweetness, you know me and partys, I'm not to fond of 'shindigs' yeah yeah, I know shouldn't have run for president if you can't press the flesh I just usually leave that to Karl and Foreign affairs they usually get the nice Junkets to exortic places; I think he's in Kraven this week, told him to pack his thermals. I always thought its best for people to judge you for what you do not for what you say or your empty promises. But you know I can never say no to you of course, so I'll come, free food at least eh? *smirk* and you know that I've been looking to wear that black dress somewhere nice, any idea who else is going to be turning up?

You know are always more than welcome to come on Royal Airforce One, the Royal Airforce guys absolutely love you, being Cardinal certifed helps. and yes it is a shame we didn't get to spend much time together while at the League meeting, bloody diplomats and there schedules! and there 'important bussiness' well I won't bore you with my rant, you know how I feel about the league but it was René's legacy we join and I'm not gonna destroy that without a damn good reason. I'll have my Secret Service organise security for us both, DAC-99's in shoulder holsters should be more than enough protection, but feel free to bring any extra security.

All blessings upon you,
Molly.

We in the AAU wish to attend this wonderful event. King Mugabe will be attending along with his wife Natalia, and Ghangombi, the oldest of their sons.

Dear Lady Zelda,

Firstly, I would like to state my willingness to come to this event which your nation is hosting. Cloverford is a great nation, one which I believe would get along very well with the Elijahs.

Secondly, we wish to establish an embassy in Cloverford and have a Cloverfordian embassy in our country. Our nations are treading on a path of a great relationship, something I wish to uphold and, one day, see our nations trusted allies.

Thirdly, I would like to, after this event, host another conference between our nations but, instead, about trade relations. The Elijahs are very rich in natural resources such as oil and gold, and we would love to trade with Cloverford.

Thank you and I hope you agree.

Yours Sincerly,
Elena Elijah.
Prime Minister of the Elijah Islands.

OOC: Does it have to be royalty? If not, I can give him a woman. Also, please refer to Zelda as Lady Zelda Plantagenet from here on out. Since she is a descendant of that well known house of English royalty, it is fit that she would call herself Zelda Plantagenet although I don't know if the RL Plantagenets actually did that themselves. Also, the feast will start tonight if I am able to get a thread up!

IC:

Miss Elijah,

You would most certainly be welcome to attend our castle feast out of a desire to connect more with one of Cloverford's well known friends and, indeed, one of the first nations that welcomed us to the world. It is only fitting, no, to improve relations?

An embassy exchange is more than suitable for Cloverford. We shall set aside a plot of land for your nation's ambassador to set up an embassy upon and we hope you will do the same as well. This is the springboard to the construction of a greater friendship between our nations.

Another conference between our nations would be more than suitable in Cloverford's eyes. Please tell us the date and time most suitable for you and we shall arrive in Avavi then.

Damien Aghion,

Addressed to the Most Generous Government of Cloverford:

The Grand Duchy of Flimflammapip accepts with open arms your gracious invitation to the upcoming Royal Banquet. Flimflammapip is but a fledgling nation, being only several days old, and is honored by your invitation. We intend to send the Grand Duke, Rufus T Firefly himself, as our nation's representative. He will be accompanied by his two advisors, Chicolini and his brother Pinky, along with seven of the Duke's personal bodyguards. We will arrive precisely thirty-eight seconds after the Cloverfordian trumpeters have announced our arrival. I know this may seem strange, but it is in perfect Flimflammapipian etiquette to do so. It is also it is in perfect Flimflammapipian etiquette to travel in a small fleet of outdated motorized sidecars detached completely from it's motorcicular counterpart. Duke Firefly happens to possess a terrible allergy to several of the ingredients commonly found in badger gumbo and sauteed possum. He is also very partial to almonds and wolf nipple chips. If you in the Government of Cloverford could arrange these accomodations, it would be much appreciated. If you, for some reason cannot meet the needs of Duke Firefly, don't fret. Firefly is highly adaptable to any situation.

Thank you once again for invitation to your fantastic feast.

Sending our regards,
Rufus T Firefly and Cabinet

Thank you for offering up a chance for our nations to be able to meet and greet with you, among many others. We most certainly wish to attend. Sadly I'm tied down so I must send my secretary Mei Anno. Mei has requested that she bring her child along as well.

Our newly elected Queen Eriko Morioka and her husband Kouji will be in attendance to your wonderful gala.

The guests of Motokata and Kitsuneville are both welcome to the feast. For future reference, please refer to our monarch as Lady Zelda Plantagenet since she comes from that illustrious family of England.
