I don't think the Pope will attend. He will just send a representative.

OOC: Norightsia, is this the ball where the marriages will be arranged?

OOC: Indeed. That was why I was waiting for Harumf to post. Well, here it goes...

IC: They day of the Grand Ball brought torrential rain to the whole province of Camboetia, but especially Velorya. The massive Norightsian flags had been brought inside the Appian Palace, the Emperor's monumentally large palace. Everything was set up and ready inside, and the party only needed guests to begin.

Outside, in Crimson Square, twenty Praetorian Guardsmen waited in full dress uniform under an awning to flank the dignataries' entrance. A brass band was playing a jovial tune, and streets were shut down all around the route to the Palace from VIA(the airport, Velorya Imperial Airport). A brigade of troops in raincoats stood at attention along the route as well. The Emperor himself was outside chatting with the Praetorian Prefect waiting for his guests of honor to arrive.

Two Sarawakhan limousines, surrounded by Norightsian police and Sarawakhan Secret Service, pulled up at the Palace. The Raja was escorted out of one by a chauffer with an umbrella, and the Prime Minister was escorted out of another in the same fashion. Raja James Brooke II gave the Emperor a hearty handshake. "It's so good to be in Veloryia again, old boy!" The Prime Minister, who was less aquainted with the Emperor, smiled graciously and tapped his turban in salute.



OOC: Norightsia, I hope you don't mind that I included the Prime Minister in the Sarawakhan entourage.

Also, the Raja isn't married. Perhaps he could find someone at the ball...

OOC: Of course I don't mind. And GQ has another unmarried cousin, not to mention the numerous royals attending from other nations.

IC: The Emperor grinned jovially and returned his friend's warm greeting.

" Right good to have you, sirrah! (GQ speaks English with a British accent too lol) And you to sir, Mr. Prime Minister. Please show yourselves inside, get something to drink if your not wet enough! As for me, I shall await the other arrivals."

OOC: I hope it's not too late to say that Queen Sophia of Good Cartesia will also attend.

IC: A nondescript black limousine pulled up to the palace. President Grace got out of the car. He had not been expecting rain, and had forgotten to pack an umbrella. None of his guards packed an umbrella, either. He instantly went back into the car.

Then, a bright red limousine pulled up behind President Grace's one, carrying the Queen of Good Cartesia, Sophia II. Her entourage seemed to be prepared for the rain, so Tom and his guards ran out and huddled under the Queen's umbrella.

"Good evening. We seem to have forgotten our umbrellas, so may we go in with you?," he asked.

Queen Sophia chuckled. "Kids these days...." She turned to face President Grace. "Of course you may."

And with that, they went up to greet the Emperor.

The Director of the Trilateral Commission, Boris Berezhovsky, arrived at Velorya's Imperial Palace in a black Cadillac SUV. His bodyguards helped the fat man out of the vehicle, and he was confined to a wheelchair. Berezhovsky had survived 5 assassination attempts in the last 11 months, and in one attempt, he was severely poisoned and rendered unable to walk, half of his body completely paralyzed.

Berezhovsky was surrounded by huge sunglassed bodyguards and several stunningly beautiful women in elegant evening dresses, who occasionally played with his drooling, half-paralyzed face.

Entering the palace, Berezhovsky was wheeled up to Emperor Gaius Quintilianus. After the two shook hands and exchanged a few remarks, one of Berezhovsky's bodyguards handed a gold-plated box to a Norightsian soldiers standing at GQ's side. The box contained a gift to the newborn twins - a holy relic of a Catholic saint; the ribcage of St. Francis Xavier, Patriarch of the East Indies. Emperor GQ suspected that the sacred relic was probably looted from its cathedral by TC thugs, or bought somewhere on the black market.

*******

South African Cardinal Abelard Roncevalles arrived in a motorcade of silver Mercedes sedans, accompanied by a few dozen assistants, priests, and bodyguards. He was escorted into the Palace, where he greeted the Emperor and Empress and then joined a crowd of several Norightsian cardinals. While ladies in elegant dresses and tuxedoed gentlemen arrived one by one, tHe churchmen all stood in a group conspicuously at the foot of the grand staircase. Robed in regal crimson, they discussed affairs of the church, and occasionally accepted being kissed on their hands by reverential guests.

*******

The Antebellum South consul to Norightsia, Dominique Auboussin, arrived in a black Lincoln towncar with his wife Amelie, dressed in their finest. After handing the car to the valet, they made their way around the crowd, making friendly conversation with friends and acquaintances.

The Emperor greeted President Grace of Negative Matter, Queen Sophia of Good Cartesia, Cardinal Roncevalles of South Africa, and Consul Aboussin of Antebellum South, all with the utmost courtesy of a knght, but his mind was completely transfixed on the gold plated box he had recieved from Mr. Berezhovsky, via their guards. He had spoken with Berezhovsky frequently, been allies wiht him for a long time, and even entertained him as such once before. Therefore he knew better than to doubt the word of his on-again off-again ally as to the authenticity of his gift. Obviously it was real. And thus it was beyond priceless. He took two Praetorians aside and handed the Praetorian Prefect the golden box. He looked them all in the eye and said:

"*to the Prefect* Get this box to "Carthage". Don't look inside, don't touch it at all if you can help it. * to the guards* Drive him. And guard that box with your life."

He then went back to greeting friends and guests. He recieved President Gray of Los Angeles, and soon after the Queen of Amazonia, with her three remaining daughters: Antigone, Alcestis, and Alcmene.

In a train of limosines the God-king of the Sakhans rode with his wives, children, guards, and retainers. When they arrived at the ball, the entered in an orderly procession. Dressed in festive ceremonial silk, God-king Sakha, looking for Emperor Galerius, the Empress, and their children. This was a happy occasion. The God-king had blessings to offer.

*****

When Abbot Diego and the other three monks finished walking from their guest lodgings to the place of the party, they were amazed by the magnificence of the place. They entered full of joy and awe at the opulent palace, a stark contrast from the Spartan furnishings of the Citadel. Abbot Diego was in his heart a simple monk, pious and zealous. He ha chosen three of the most devout brothers to accompany him. He looked with joy toward the chance of meeting the Holy Catholic Emperor, the highest secular official in Christendom. The only earthly experience that Diego would love more would be meeting the Supreme Pontiff himself.

*****

Representatives also arrived from the Resplendent Dawn, the Kingdom of Gallia, and Camizu. The leaders of those nations were otherwise occupied and could not arrive themselves. However, the representative from the Resplendent Dawn said that the Emperor would arrive himself if the Baghdad negotiations finished.

OOC: OK nevermind my statements on Shing, I have too, it's too good to pass up

The limo was of the blackest, black with an emblem on it which made the Norightsian guards flinched only but a second before they remember that it was, a "public" event. The emblem was of course the Eastern Empire's Imperial Flag and out of all the people to think of showing, GQ was a little surprised and annoyed to see a delegation from his number one enemy.

The Limo door opened and two Shalak-gul soldiers came out and stood at either side of the door. After them followed five Tek re'ma, the royal guards of the Eastern Empire which of course only meant one thing...that Shing Tishomi himself had decided to appear. Sure enough, the Sovereign of the most hated Empire of Asian stepped out of the limo into the cold rain. It was truly a first in not only Norightsian history, but also that of the Eastern Empire. Shing took in the cold air...

bah.....foreign air, just isn't the same he said as he and the Tek re'ma walked up the steps.

Shing walked straight up to GQ, his guards clutching their fire arms, ready to fire if Shing pulled the slightest stunt. However, Shing wasn't here to pull a stunt, nor was he here for some glorious purpose for the Empire. No, he was simply curious about the leadership of the other nations of Asia and wanted to, as they say "Mingle if he was to rule them all one day, the right thing to do is understand them.

Fine day you have her Emperor Shing address GQ I have to say it reminds me of my Empire back home.


Shortly after the Eastern Empire Limo had driven away to park, another limo pulled up. This one was certainly different from the Eastern Empire limo for one reason because it was white and secondly because it bore the Emblem of Neo-Macedonia. Once it stopped at the steps of the Palace, a guard sitting in the front got out and opened the door.

A small women, dressed in a beautiful, flowing white gown with a small ornate tiara which held her thick veil in place came out. It was Maria, a sister from the Sisterhood of Mary of Neo-Macedonia. She was the Sacred Queen's ambassador for the event and though she was unaware of the events which had transpired while she made her trip to Asia, she still left the Queen's presence and would do her duty to the fullest.

The elegantly flowed up the steps of the Palace and greeted Galerius with a bow. He stared at her intently trying to see through her veil, the curiosity had gotten to him, but sadly it was in vane. It was against the order of the Sisterhood of Mary to allow anyone to see your face and so her face was safety hidden. Only a faint outline of it was visible.

Most righteous Emperor Galerius Quintilianus it is an honor to meet and on behalf of out mother, the Sacred Queen Chloe we give our blessing to you and your family on this joyous occasion. The Queen of course have sent with me various gifts for the children and hopes that you and your family will think of visiting us should you ever wish to spend some time away from Norightsia.

New Harumfian Delegates Arrive

The open limosine had been cancelled because of the weather. Instead, the Cardinal King and the Crown Prince were brought to the Palace via military heliocopter, which landed noisily not far from the covered enterance. The Prince stepped out first, being escorted by a New Harumfian Marine with an official marine personal anti moisture devise (umbrella). Prince Donaldo was dressed in full military regallia befitting his station. Following him was Cardinal King Thomas, for this occasion dressed in formal Cardinal garb rather than royal garb. Both men approached the party waiting at the huge enterenceway, and cordially shook hands with their host. Thomas and the Emperor embrased, spoke softly, and exchanged kisses on the cheek.

Atlantis Primary delegate arrives

Chairman Quinn, of the Atlantis Primary Security and Exchange Commission arrived by limo. He was dressed conservatively in a dark blue pin-striped suit, white shirt, and solid yellow tie. He had a small St. Christopher pin on his lapel, and no other jewelry. He approached the Emperor, bowed, and then shook hands. "On behalf of the people of Atlantis Primary, we congradulate you on your great fortune, and wish you and your family long lives and happy times."

David Unander, President of the Lambda League Arrives

President Unander was dressed in a solid white suit, with a dark blue shirt and no tie. He arrived by Taxi, and had a bit of a row with the driver over the fee, until a military escort from Norightsia came and interfered. He approached the Emporer, handed him a business card, and shook hands. He then proceeded to hand out a business card to all delegates in attendance.

John Laab of the Amish League Arrives

No one was aware that Laab arrived. He was dressed with his wide-brimmed hat, plain blue shirt and dark trousers, red suspenders, and a plain dark coat, and was soaked to the skin. He looked like he walked from the airport. As he approached the entryway, several guards tried to stop him, and he began to struggle. They grabbed his arms, and began to drag him away until the Emperor himself stepped up and told the guards to let him be. The Emperor shook his hand, put his arm around his shoulder, and signaled for a guard to escort Laab to his residence where he could get into some dry clothes before the festivities began.

The Surprise Attendee

A stooped, elderly man dressed as a simple monk stepped out of a limo. He was accompanied by a carmalite nun, and a much younger monk. He approached the Emperor, and introduced himself, "I am Dr. Richard Saber. This is my wife, Maria, and my son, Jonathan. I hope we are welcome to this momentous event."

OOC: Well, I was about to say that the Pope did attend in the end, but seeing as both Laab and Saber have attended it just is not possible. Instead, I will send the highest ranking official in Catholic Europe after the Pope.

Furthemore, I think it highly unrealistic that Galerius would not have Saber arrested and executed immediately. I understand that Laab would not be because he is a leader of a nation, but Saber is not. Plus, the Pope would be pissed off like never before if Galerius did not at least arrest Saber, infact it would probably amount to excommunication. It would have been like King Philip II allowing Martin Luther to attend a party in Madrid and not doing anything to him.

IC: The rain poured down like it had never, the noise of the windscreen wipers on the bullet-proof limosine all that Paolo Cardinal Morreo was able to hear. The car gradually came to a stop as it arrived at the palace where the ball to celebrate the birth of the Norightsian children was taking place.

The door opened and two huge and black umbrellas were opened for the Cardinal. He got out slowly and regally, his huge platinum and diamond crucifix necklace swung back and forth as he left the car. The Cardinal lifetd his silk robes up so as not to get the bottom of them wet from the rain.

He immediately took out a white piece of cloth and placed it over his mouth and nose and began to walk, the men with the umbrellas following him and keeping him dry. He walked slowly up the stairs which led to the entrance and was greeted by Emperor Galerius as he arrived at the top.

"Galerius" Cardinal Morreo said with obvious disdain in his voice.

"Your Emminence, welcome to Norightsia. I'm glad you could attend" the Emperor replied with also obvious disdain in his voice.

The two men exchanged stares for a few seconds, both trying to remain formal and cordial to each other but the tension was obvious.

"His Holiness sends his prayers and blessings for your children. He hopes that they will grow up to be true and good Catholics, true children of the Holy Mother Church."

The Emperor was clearly displeased at this comment, sensing it as a slight against him and the recent accusations the Pope had levelled at him.

"Well of course they will Your Emminence, they are my children, not the children of Mary Martha" the Emperor replied, making reference to the heretical sister of the Pope.

With that the Cardinal held out his hand to be kissed, which the Emperor reluctantly but dutifully did and then the Cardinal went inside. He immediately put the white linen cloth back up over his mouth and face, seeing the heretics and infidels which surrounded him he did not wish to breathe their contaminated air.

The Emperor of Chirondom, John II, arrived. His limousine parked. John, flanked by 4 guards oppened the doors and entered the building of the meeting.

The Quaonion delegation also arrived, though in less grand fashion. Three ambassadors left a car, followed by 2 cars.

A mysterious man in a black trenchcoat walked up the steps of the palace, and was detained by the Imperial Guards. He showed them a small card, and they nodded him in. He walked up to the Emperor. He said simply, "I come bearing a message." The man thrust a golden envelope at the Emperor. Inside was a beautiful but austere card of black and gold.

Kurtz sends his apologies, but, due to declining health and important matters of state, he cannot leave Leopoldstaat at this time. He hope you will accept this gift in honor of the occasion.

Congratualations,
Hercule l'Poissonet, Assistant to Kurtz


The man then reached into his trenchcoat once more, and pulled out a pair of chess sets made of the finest ebony and ivory, with delicate gold and silver filigree. Each of these also bore a note written in a spidery writing that would be more fitting in the 19th century than the 21st.

May these sets teach your heirs to rule Norightsia with shrewdness and cunning.

Kurtz


The man then left the way he had come.

OOC: Wow, I am utterly overwhelmed. When I siad everyone could atend, I thought Shing would be the most disdained person there. But with Saber I really don't know what to do. In Norightsia, refusing hospitality bears a punishment similiar to the same sin in Greek myth. GQ is a practical Orestes, he can either get excommunicated, or commit a mortal sin. I am going to try something. If it works, I hope the Pope will show, if not, I can understand him not coming lol...

IC: As soon as Saber had gone in, the Emperor motioned to his guards. He was on the verge of fainting from holding his breath and hyperventilating from stress and excitement. Satan's right hand man was in his house! He was keenly embarased to have subjected his guests to this, loathe to let him go, and bound to allow him to stay. But he had a plan...

A shady man who could have been from anywhere materialized next to the Reverend Saber. He tapped the aged minister on the shoulder, and motioned him aside. The object of the undying hatred of virtually everyone in this kingdom allowed his family to linger in converstaion with the Raja of Sarawakh, and followed the stranger.

The man took him into a small hallway outside the ballroom and turned stopped. He looked at Saber nervously and thrust a hand in his pockets. He began to speak in a French accent.

"Your holiness, its not safe here. You must go."

"Who said!? And who are you? This party was open to all and..."

"It was of course on oversight when it came to you. Look. My name is Pierre Colbert, I am a secret agent in the service of His Majesty, King Andrew of Pascoag. I was sent here when His Majesty heard of John Laab's attendance. I was here to assure his safety, but we did not anticipate your arrival. And neither did our common enemy and host. This place is crawling with assassins. If you do not get you family away from here, they will be murdered..."
