Restoration of Eastern Kaiserreich wrote:"Global politics often require you to meet with politicians from other nations, both at carefully choreographed ceremonies and state dinners, as well as during smaller and more unstructured affairs. So it is, you find yourself in a high-end Easario restaurant with the diminutive Minister of Trade from the tiny but politically significant nation of Smalltopia, along with his wife. After you have all studied the menu for a while the waiter arrives. The Smalltopian fellow orders the linguine for himself and — without even turning to look at his wife — orders the same for her. Her eyes turned downwards, she says nothing, clearly used to him taking control. The media’s cameras look to you, to see how you will respond."

Aye, Dear Sovereign Nazeri may be over 120, but the cameras about to catch him rizzing up this man's wife lmao

"Dear Sovereign Javad Nazeri is strangely popular with male politicians' wives."

I did say

"Increasing numbers of families find they have little time for their children, with both partners often working very long hours. A possible solution lies with Bigtopian immigrants who are clamouring to make money in Restoration of Eastern Kaiserreich, and who would be happy to work as maids and nannies for well below the typical salary that Humanists would consider a living wage.

The Debate

“We will shop and serve and clean and cook,” pleads Bigtopian maid Naki, kneeling before you with head bowed. “We earn much more here than at home, even if you pay us half what local workers get. We don’t want any voting rights, we don’t want citizenship. Please, boss, let us work here.”"

Naki? Sounds... oddly close to... Neki!

Senile screech

Nekis! Nekis everywhere!

Starts ranting to staff in bunker

How? How could they have gained the power required to mimic Humanity!

A General speaks up

"My Sovereign, please calm down. It is only a foreigner with an odd name--"

Odd is the fact that you let this happen! I should've purged this administration like Zangane!

The rant slowly turns more German overtime

“This is Unia how low are we talking?”

“at least 4 meters compared your bow… wait no five, Unia It looks like one of your riveted plates are missing from the hull!”

“Unia this is seawater, we’re going to send you a welding torch and a spare iron plate to repair your plate stand by to receive”

A crew member runs out and throws the welding torch and metal plate over

“Seawater here we have sent to Items hurry up and get them before they are washed overboard”

"Right!" Replies Łukasz

Brethren wrote:Oh that sounds glorious. Is it in any way inspired by Jarnathan-or-however-his-name-is-spelled from the D&D movie?

maybe subconsciously! but i wanted to play an aarakocra for a while and politician seemed like a funny choice to pair with that (and of course i’d nail it)

also because irl politicians are called hawks and doves i made a literal dove

update: on the drive home and my brother ate both the bags of chips. i am now devastated

Nothing much :)

Oedaland wrote:Thanks Aiv! I really appreciate that. Some of the details were taken from a toolkit I use but yeah that is me in a Renaissance art style (the setting is similar to Renaissance Italy and Greek under the late Byzantine period). It's a map for a oneshot I wanted to do with friends, but atm it's just a cool setting for stories.

slay. i wish you the best of luck with the website commission you mentioned.

Euricanis wrote:it will, it’ll be fine

the nature of the problem is that it is both incredibly stressful/frustrating and completely pointless in the long run (before you ask, i’m only dealing with it because my parents are “strongly encouraging” me to), so regardless of how it goes today it won’t have any lasting effect on my life

also i have d&d monday :)
thanks

the situation’s temporary so i’ll be clear soon, and i have an aarakocra politician character to play for the first time in a few days that’ll outweigh whatever’s going on now

awesome, you get to yell at people for crashing into trees and asking too many questions WHILE taking bribes or smth idk.

you yelled at me, not the other way around

Euricanis wrote:you yelled at me, not the other way around

Oh.

Well then it was completely justified and right.

Would the Humanist State establish diplomatic and commercial relations with the Republic of Atrocha?

Aivintis wrote:Oh.

also there’s probably no trees in this setting

Saloma wrote:OOC: Cheers. I kind of forgot that I don't have a airport.

IC: Upon the Atrochan minister's arrival at the border, he would be escorted by the Força Pública in a motorcade while flagged by motorbikes that took him to Porto Hércules to board Veleiro.

Minister Aristégui arrives in Porto Hércules with his entourage. The minister asks his bodyguards with which authority of the Principality he could speak on the subject of diplomacy.

OOC: Sorry for the delay.

Depends on the power of Alcatus in your society.

"A recent broadsheet special on the children of other leaders in The East Pacific has brought attention to the lack of children in your own residence. Spying a public relations opportunity, some of your advisers have begun to suggest that you should consider having a kid or two."

What do I even say anymore? Once I get into cyberhacking, I shall find you.

First you'll have to find a partner. Don't despair! Need help? REK is there!

And I know the perfect matchmaker for you.

The stage goes dark before a single light illuminates a small spot on the floor. A rose falls slowly, carried by a cold breeze. Once it reaches the floor, a saxophone sounds off somewhere. A snobby laugh echoes from behind the curtains. Despite the music and laughter, the sound of a mustache being twirled is still audible.

All of a sudden, the curtains swing open to reveal a man sliding down an eiffel tower prop. The walls are painted to resemble Paris. He reaches the ground, giggles, and tosses hundreds of roses from his hand to the audience -- who are all mimes. They make a clapping gesture and the Frenchman bows while the music dies down.

"Oui, oui! It is a pleasure to introduce myself tonight. I am Robespierre, the cupid of weary hearts! Not the chopper of heads! Non, my only desire is to see romance thrive like my beautiful culture!"

Forcast says below-zero temperature for the next week, wooo.
And wind chill could bring it as low as -60 F. Even better. I've always wanted to develop frostbite within a minute of going outside.
