Arakad Thorn: your stool m'love
Ryu Musashi: I have no been here since the protectorate meetings...
Tatiana Thorn: thank you my beloved
Draven Daygoth: Largest table I have ever seen
Draven Daygoth: *grins*
Ryu Musashi: *looks around*
Queen Arya: Hail Danica!
tang: hail
Joanna Weaver: Greetings, milady
Danica Amandine: Quite the crowd.
Danica Amandine: Very nice.
Hunter: Danica
Garrett Granth: I found them outside staring at peanuts
James Bunny-Man: *smiles cheerfully and opens annother bottle of whiskey*
Rosar: Is it? Why, I didn't even notice.
Contempt: Hail!
Bon Iver: Good day.
tang: hey could some1 plz pass the booz
Tatiana Thorn: *edges closer to arakad*
Narcissa: *snickers*
Danica Amandine: *sits and puts her hands together on the table*
Garrett Granth: *tips up bottle*
Rosar: If you want to drink that badly, go to the bloody tavern.
Danica Amandine: Thank you all for coming tonight.
Merci d'Rue: * looks down to Danica curiously*
Danica Amandine: For those looking for a fight, a battle, or anything of that nature, you will be dissapointed.
Arakad Thorn: whew
Arakad Thorn: thats a relief
Cear Dallben: My apologies for violently exploding in your face
Danica Amandine: Tonights battles will all be waged with words.
Narcissa: 2Aye brother some might thing you aimed.
Cear Dallben: for seemingly no reason at all
Garrett Granth: oh and here I was looking to be repeatedly bested at contests
Garrett Granth: *hic*
tang: debate!
Rosar: Ah. The only sort of battle worth fighting.
Cear Dallben: I must have bumped something with my elbow
Cear Dallben: or maybe it was your elbow.......
Cear Dallben: *glares*
Danica Amandine: *smiles slightly at Rosar*
Danica Amandine: Alright, before we get to the issue at hand.
Rosar: At least, the only type of battle one should ever begin.
Danica Amandine: A bit of a history lesson.
Joanna Weaver: * smiles*
Danica Amandine: Years ago, when the Old Magincia was destroyed....
Narcissa: *pulls out an old book and begins noting*
Danica Amandine: The situation was being watched by a figure known to us all as The Time Lord.
Queen Arya: ugh
Danica Amandine: This would not be an odd thing...
Rosar: Right. The coward.
Cear Dallben: Rings a bell
Garrett Granth: *that* guy. Or thing. Or... whatever it be.
Danica Amandine: With the Virtuebane invading our world.
Danica Amandine: And other such goings on, not an odd thing at all.
Danica Amandine: However, as we later learned.
Danica Amandine: When the Time Lord comes to our world, there are ALWAYS random occurrences.
Danica Amandine: Things happen that normally would not be possible.
Garrett Granth: ...so they're not precisely random... if they... correspond to.. never mind
Tatiana Thorn: *edges a bit clsoer*
Rosar: And then he asks us to clean up after them.
Danica Amandine: One of these random occurrences swallowed up a young boy named Addie.
Merci d'Rue: * looks over at the doorway*
Danica Amandine: Held him in some sort of temporal limbo, until when the Time Lord returned to our world...
Danica Amandine: To deal with the Wisp and Zog situation... Addie was released again.
Joanna Weaver: * nods as she listens*
Cear Dallben: *folds his arms*
Narcissa: *her face remains blank*
Danica Amandine: Since that time, when the boy was found.
Danica Amandine: Many here, and across Britannia have taken the boy, and have had profound influence on his...
Danica Amandine: Upbringing.
Bon Iver: I still remember the day in the tent where we found him.
Queen Arya: *smiles warmly*
Garrett Granth: I have NO idea how he got all that whiskey! NO IDEA!
Danica Amandine: His very nature has been molded by the people of Britannia.
Joanna Weaver: * smiles*
Tatiana Thorn: *nods as she listens*
Danica Amandine: From the age of five, till now, nearly age sixteen.
Merci d'Rue: * nods returning her attention to Danica*
Danica Amandine: We, the people of Britannia have raised him.
Joanna Weaver: * nods agreement with Rosar*
tang: 16! i thought he was 9 a month ago!
Danica Amandine: *gives tang an odd look*
Danica Amandine: Maybe he was not the only one in a time vortex.
Danica Amandine: *smiles*
Queen Arya: he graduated last week*
Rosar: He was trapped in some sort of temporal vortex. There's bound to be side effects.
Danica Amandine: Now, to another issue not really linked.
Rosar: Still, a short life is better than no life at all.
Danica Amandine: We are currently under Martial Law.
Garrett Granth: What?!
Queen Arya: aye
Danica Amandine: The Knights of the Crux Ansata operate under the charter signed by Queen Dawn...
Ka-Kurembo: *looks concerned*
Garrett Granth: So THAT explains the guards! And the demands for papers! And... well, a lot, really.
Danica Amandine: Pardon me, the late Queen Dawn.
Joanna Weaver: * straightens her posture*
Garrett Granth: *is shocked, because he does not keep up with events*
Garrett Granth: The Queen is dead?!
Danica Amandine: And since her death at the shrine of humility...
Joanna Weaver: She died on Valentines...
Rosar: Yes. Quite dead.
Bon Iver: Rest in Peace.
Arakad Thorn: *nods remembering that day*
Danica Amandine: We have been operating thus.
Rosar: You should pay more attention.
James Bunny-Man: The position is cursed.
Danica Amandine: A sad day for us all.
Rosar: The Queen is dead. Long live the, uh, whoever. I suppose that's the real problem, isn't it?
Danica Amandine: Since that day, we have destroyed the Bane forces.
Danica Amandine: And sent their master back whence he came.
Garrett Granth: Paying attention is for people who can't fly be the seat of their pants, I say.
Tatiana Thorn: *claps*
Tatiana Thorn: *blushes as no one else claps*
Danica Amandine: We have rebuilt Magincia and continue to work there.
Danica Amandine: New Magincia is shaping up, much like the boy Addie.
Queen Arya: tis a wonderful start
Danica Amandine: A product of the people of our world.
Joanna Weaver: The city is definitely on the mend
Rosar: Thus triumphs the mortal spirit.
Danica Amandine: Normally, when there is such a power Vacuum one of two things happen.
Danica Amandine: One, someone steps forward, claims the throne... for the good or for the bad.
Danica Amandine: Casca, Dawn...
Tatiana Thorn: *shivers*
Arakad Thorn: Casca was a fool
Danica Amandine: Or even the barons that died in this very room.
Contempt: *shifts uneasily*
Rosar: And then we either submit, or we fight. Either way, people are bound to suffer.
Joanna Weaver: Casca was an el..
Joanna Weaver: * silences herself*
Tatiana Thorn: *moves closer to arakad*
Danica Amandine: Or two, the country begins to fragment into lesser kings... lesser lords.
Merci d'Rue: * looks casually to Joanna with a bit of a smile*
Danica Amandine: And dissolves slowly or quickly into civil war.
Joanna Weaver: * notes the look and politely looks away*
Garrett Granth: Oooh, civil war.
Cear Dallben: Chaos
Rosar: Given the choice between one tyranny or twenty, I'd rather be able to pick my own oppressor, at least.
Danica Amandine: While my Order of Knights can keep the peace.
Danica Amandine: We can not, will not hold the country together in such an event.
Narcissa: *nods agreeing*
Danica Amandine: The Knights of the Crux Ansata will not fight or kill other Britannians...
Danica Amandine: To keep the country together.
Tatiana Thorn: *nods in understanding*
Danica Amandine: I said normally one of two things happen.
Danica Amandine: However, in this case, neither has happened.
Garrett Granth: Well this isn't very bloody well normal, is it?
Danica Amandine: No one has stepped forward with any sort of support.
Joanna Weaver: So we do not become once more the land of feuds
James Bunny-Man: Why would they step forward? The position of high king is cursed.
Danica Amandine: But no real decision.
Rosar: They're afraid to. Besides that, no one is popular enough to gain enough support.
Tatiana Thorn: *squeezes his hand again*
Rosar: And no one wants another war.
Rosar: So they've shut themselves in.
Danica Amandine: *nods at Rosar*
Raven: Why not an elected government?
Raven: To share power...
Rosar: That could end up being even worse, in the long run.
Danica Amandine: The position of monarch certainly seems cursed.
Joanna Weaver: Another Regency..?
Danica Amandine: I would agree.
Joanna Weaver: * sighs*
Danica Amandine: So we are left with an empty throne.
Danica Amandine: And a crumbling government.
Contempt: Should have put Bane on the seat in the first place, and let the curse take him.
Contempt: *chuckle*
Rosar: In that case, there is only one option, that I can see.
Danica Amandine: *chuckles at Comtempt's joke*
Danica Amandine: *looks to Rosar*
Danica Amandine: You in the Red, did you have an idea?
Rosar: I do.
Danica Amandine: *looks to Rosar*
Danica Amandine: We are all ears sir.
Rosar: No one person is fit to rule.
evenstar: Aye, speak sir.
Ka-Kurembo: *eyes all the people in red*
Narcissa: Could he speak up, I cannot hear on this side of the table
Danica Amandine: *nods*
Rosar: They have neither the support that, say, a Lord British would have, nor do they have any hereditary right to rule.
Danica Amandine: Rosar has suggested that no one is fit to rule.
Raven: To whom do you speak, m'lady?
Rosar: No.
Rosar: I said no *one* man is fit to rule.
Danica Amandine: Ah, I see.
Tatiana Thorn: *giggles*
Mark: Aye A council of Lords would be better
Rosar: Or woman, for that matter.
Garrett Granth: Or a donkey and a man!
Arakad Thorn: *squeezes Tatis hand and grins*
Joanna Weaver: * grins at Tati*
evenstar: Aye
James Bunny-Man: What about a mouse?
Merci d'Rue: I am sure we could dig up a lich lord again to run something
the town drunk: how about a lottery .. everyone buy tickets...
Nicholas Tarrant: A Council that can argue, debate and do nothing.
Danica Amandine: *nods at the mouse comment*
Danica Amandine: Sadly, many would nary follow Sherry.
Myrddin ab'Arawn: Everyone whos filled that throne has failed because it was never theirs to begin with
Contempt: Alright, I think we're straying too far away.
Danica Amandine: Dispite her obviousness.
Rosar: Fine. We'll let them go at their throats and see men die in a pointless war.
evenstar: Y speak wisely Myrddin.
Danica Amandine: *nods to Myrddin*
Raven: The Orcs would see a rodent ruler as a sign of weakness...
Joanna Weaver: * chuckles*
Rosar: Better they do nothing than become tyrannical lordlings.
Danica Amandine: Now.
Danica Amandine: Here is my idea.
Queen Arya: ah
Queen Arya: some sense
Garrett Granth: I'm all for an ineffective government unable to stop smuggling or bootlegging, myself.
Ka-Kurembo: *pulls kasa down a smug*
Danica Amandine: We the Knights of the Ankh can put our support behind someone, even a figurehead monarch...
Danica Amandine: Who could gather a council...
Ikrua Shimakaze: a puppet you mean?
James Bunny-Man: A replacable figurehead would be best.
Rosar: I would support a figurehead to lead a council, at least until we can restore to someone--anyone--some semblance of authority.
Danica Amandine: *nods to Rosar*
Tatiana Thorn: *nods in agreement*
SunWolf: That person has to follow all virtues or there will be civil wars.
Danica Amandine: Exactly my meaning.
Arakad Thorn: aye
Meanie Monster: A council is a failed concept, especially one with a figure head who has no true power to make
Garrett Granth: *nods for some reason unknown to everyone else*
Mark: It would have to be someone with allegiance to no one
Mark: Except Britannia
Rosar: You aren't paying attention. There is no one fit to rule.
Garrett Granth: Yes... yes... yes...
Danica Amandine: I have brought you forward here today to discuss a singular vote.
Rosar: No one with the charisma or the strength of will to rule as a monarch.
Danica Amandine: It has been suggested that *I* take the throne.
Danica Amandine: I am no Queen, nor would I ever be so arrogant.
Meanie Monster: A monarch is not the answer
Meanie Monster: as has been provin
Meanie Monster: what we need is a true tyrannt
Danica Amandine: However.
Contempt: I'm sure many have said that before, Lady Danica.
Meanie Monster: one who rules with a iron fist
Merci d'Rue: well you are a woman *smiles* they make excellent leaders
Meanie Monster: one who destroyes his enemies
Bon Iver: I do not think a parliament would be wise, we should become a republic and let the people vote.
Meanie Monster: not through words
Rosar: That is precisely what we do not need.
Joanna Weaver: * nods agreement with Merci*
Garrett Granth: I say we go full on democracy! Everyone votes for everything! Frell the republic!
Rosar: I don't suppose you'll be saying that when the "people" suddenly decide they want to string up your brother or son.
Danica Amandine: I put to vote, the appointment of the boy Addie as King in name... to appoint then a council,
Danica Amandine: around him.
Danica Amandine: To rule as proxy.
Meanie Monster: a true tyrannt doesn't have to worry about that
Narcissa: A child?
Queen Arya: well said
Rosar: An interesting choice.
Himeko Kukiko: *Sits up*
Raven: nay
Garrett Granth: *hic*
Garrett Granth: What? The mad mage boy?!
Isk: A keen idea.
Tatiana Thorn: oh no it should be arakad
Cear Dallben: a boy king.....
Sid: I like that
SunWolf: Isn't he a tad young?
Bon Iver: Hopefully he will not end up like the others.
Tatiana Thorn: *smiles up at her husband*
Queen Arya: he is more than a boy sir
SunWolf: He just graduated
Danica Amandine: I will need a second to bring forth the vote.
Cear Dallben: Hmm
Garrett Granth: I don't trust no mages!
Isk: I second.
James Bunny-Man: He's old enough.
Sid: I second
Cear Dallben: they live alot more than old dying people
billy: who is more or aman then most here
Contempt: Understood.
Queen Arya: you have our support Danica
Danica Amandine: *nods behind her at Isk*
evenstar: he would appoint council?
Claude Balls: i second it!
Garrett Granth: Madness! You propose madness!
Danica Amandine: Madness?
Garrett Granth: To allow the Time Lords' toy to rule the land?
Garrett Granth: Why who knows when he'll SNAP?
Rosar: The Time Lord once said that Addie could have a profound influence on our world.
Queen Arya: Adamu is more than a boy
Garrett Granth: Exactly!
Meanie Monster: I dont think Danica is fit to call this vote due to her history with the person she is proposing to
Danica Amandine: The motion has been seconded, and the floor is opened for debate.
billy: go have another drink Garrett
Joanna Weaver: he is not the timelord's toy
Narcissa: A child can be easily swayed to the whims of a council.
Rosar: But he has never been clear on what that means, naturally.
Joanna Weaver: he has tried to kill him several times
Garrett Granth: The time lord said he would bring DOOM!
Arakad Thorn: it has been said ... he has grew up around the people of the land in various stages
Queen Arya: he has learned the hard way
Danica Amandine: *sits and listens*
Arakad Thorn: in a sense he is a child of all of us
Queen Arya: he knows now
Meanie Monster: so we have been told
Rosar: Well, I submit this to you, sir.
Danica Amandine: *sits and listens*
Raven: We don't need another Monarch.
tang: i just wonder how well the boy would do in times of war
Merci d'Rue: Lady Danica will you remain as an advisor to the boy?
Garrett Granth: And we're all a hard and horrid lotArakad! Our child would be naught but a madman!
Danica Amandine: *nods to Merci*
Rosar: If our future is set, then nothing we do will make a difference.
Meanie Monster: I ask you this danica, what are your true motives behind this appointe?
Danica Amandine: I would be at the service of the King and the council.
Rosar: If, however, it is not, then the Time Lord's warnings are not to be heeded.
Queen Arya: our future is never set in stone
Garrett Granth: Our future is not set! There is no fate but the one we make! Damn the Time Lord!
evenstar: how will he choose the members of the council?
Arakad Thorn: it was spoken ... how will he appoint his council, Danica?
Mark: How will this King appoint his council?
evenstar: aye.
Rosar: We must make our decision without his influence.
tang: i like Addie i think he would fit in as king
Garrett Granth: But I'll not see his protected puppet rule over us!
Narcissa: So, if the child were to throw a tantrum, Britain would suffer?
Rosar: The Time Lord is not interested in us.
Danica Amandine: *looks to Narcissa*
SunWolf: I am kind of surprised, you all are electing a person most of us just meet ,and just returned to
Garrett Granth: Oh you fall for the fake attacks! The "he's trying to kill me!"
Rosar: He has made that abundantly clear.
Tatiana Thorn: he is awfully young
Danica Amandine: The powers of the boy, are much controled now, after his...
Myrddin ab'Arawn: A king must be able to lead their troops into battle. Can the boy do that?
Raven: That is what happens with all kings... young or old.
Queen Arya: he is soon to be a mna
Danica Amandine: Graduation from the Lycaeum.
SunWolf: the lands. Who to really says he is ready, unless he has a strong council.
Garrett Granth: And he's aged immensely! He's got powers beyond reckoning!
Mark: I see appointments as returns of favors
Joanna Weaver: That is not true Sunwolf
Narcissa: But he's still a boy.
Danica Amandine: *nods*
Joanna Weaver: Some of us have known Adamu for years
evenstar: Aye.
Ka-Kurembo: a test is in order then ?
Rosar: Generals lead troops. Kings lead kingdoms.
Contempt: All the assistance the people here have given to the boy, now they act as if he cannot be trusted
Danica Amandine: And as such would need a strong council.
Sage: He Have No Power
Himeko Kukiko: *Looks exhausted*
Meanie Monster: You all talk about how this boy should lead, yet a "strong council" should be formed around him
Meanie Monster: i ask you this
Anthraxas: Nonsense
Meanie Monster: would he be running the kingdom
Meanie Monster: or would the council be pulling the strings?
Anthraxas: Generals plan, Kings lead
tang: i like addie i think hed make a good king
Garrett Granth: Pure madness to trust the ethereal whims of magic when good men are here and available.
Danica Amandine: That would depend on Adamu I would imagine.
evenstar: who names the council?
Garrett Granth: Time Lords and strange magicks versus a sound mind and a good quill.
evenstar: Addie?
Danica Amandine: Well, that is something we would have to talk about.
Ikrua Shimakaze: Why have a King if the Council is going to run the Kingdom?
Queen Arya: well present tests to Adamu
Danica Amandine: Who makes up this council?
Raven: So, it would really be the council that had the power... so we should know them as well.
Danica Amandine: Who, why and how.
Mark: Adiie being King is not the problem, It is how is the council appointed
evenstar: And what sort of authority do they hold?
Rosar: It is symbolic, Ikura.
Garrett Granth: 'tis a foregone conclusion, I see.
Rosar: The king is the embodiment of the state.
Joanna Weaver: Lord British wasn't the original king, either
Contempt: *smirks across the table at the comment about Blackthorn*
Danica Amandine: *nods*
Ikrua Shimakaze: Thats the easy part
Arakad Thorn: One man from each City of the land should be present on this council.
Arakad Thorn: or woman
Danica Amandine: Before the king most of us grew up with....
evenstar: Councils not so easily.
Ka-Kurembo: wait how many are we talking about on this "counsel?
Danica Amandine: The world was divided into many kings.
Tatiana Thorn: *grins and squeezes his hand*
Garrett Granth: I see we've got a puppet of a transdimensional Time Lord leading the realm now
Danica Amandine: *looks to Garrett*
Joanna Weaver: Garrett you aren't listening. Pull your head from your cup
Danica Amandine: If the Time Lord wanted to rule us.
Garrett Granth: What next, shapeshifting lizardmen from the 11th dimension?
Rosar: He represents tradition, stability and provides a symbol of our kingdom to identify with on a person level.
Danica Amandine: I do not think there would be much we could do to stop him.
Garrett Granth: Obviously not, for he's won this round, i can see.
Garrett Granth: Think! He protects the boy in his little time bubble, releases him as a man, a mage?
Joanna Weaver: The Timelord has tried to kill Adamu before
Danica Amandine: *ponders*
evenstar: Do we need such government, truly?
Joanna Weaver: You should go check your records
Garrett Granth: Pretends to try and kill Adamu a few times, and now.. look
Rosar: Enough! The Time Lord is nothing. He has vast power but no concerns that we can comprehend.
Garrett Granth: look at us.
Danica Amandine: We can not survive as a nation under martial law forever.
Garrett Granth: This will end in blood.
Isk: He is a Magincian, he knows of hardships and victories. Adamu is a product of this world
Danica Amandine: Such an environment breeds revolution.
Tatiana Thorn: i must agree, leading takes patience
tang: WOH BUT HE COULDNT THAT MEAN ADDIES SPECIAL AND STRONGER THAN THE TIME LORD
Isk: There is no better choice.
Queen Arya: Time Lord is not concerned with our world
evenstar: We have grown and done well, so far it seems
tang: himself!!!
Ka-Kurembo: *looks over an whispers*
Merci d'Rue: * looks to Isk*
Ka-Kurembo: what law? who's martial
Danica Amandine: *nods to Isk*
Garrett Granth: Blood I say! BLOOD!
Queen Arya: aye
Danica Amandine: Hence why I suggest him.
Garrett Granth: *storms out*
Danica Amandine: We of Britannia have been the ones who have raised him.
Raven: If Isk supports this child then I am worried indeed...
Queen Arya: I believe the Time Lord is leery about Adamu also
Isk: Most of us are invested in the boy, he is like family. Aye.
Meanie Monster: I have a question!
Meanie Monster: you say the time lord controls time
Rosar: I support his nomination. He may lead us to ruin, but that is true of any other man.
Meanie Monster: correct?
Merci d'Rue: * looks to Raven and nods*
Danica Amandine: He has grown up in Vesper, Moonglow, New Haven...
Meanie Monster: what if the boy is really the time lord.... in a different stage?
Ikrua Shimakaze: no
Rosar: There is no evidence of that and plenty against it.
Meanie Monster: All we know about this boy is
Rosar: There's no point to it.
Meanie Monster: what you have told us
Raven: Would Isk be on his "Council?"
Meanie Monster: and from what i've gathered
Ikrua Shimakaze: this is why they can't rule
Arakad Thorn: Rosar is correct
Queen Arya: not true
Meanie Monster: you are pretty bias
Anthraxas: Yew has prospered well during this time; a figurehead persona would do nicely.
Queen Arya: we have raised him
Ka-Kurembo: *looks interested*
Joanna Weaver: Does it matter, if there would be others?
evenstar: Had he been wander ing the streets?
Queen Arya: by his side thru it all
Joanna Weaver: * looks to raven*
Joanna Weaver: To balance it out
tang: addie would make a greaT king
Queen Arya: watched him mature
evenstar: Spoken with the masse at any point?
Meanie Monster: What is this boy is really the Time lord in a different stage
Raven: Yes... I would want to know the names of all... and their alliances.
Meanie Monster: ?
Contempt: The boy, Addie, I have no qualms with; I would see him on the throne before most others.
Meanie Monster: you are all being lead like sheep
evenstar: I have never seen him, and i move about a great deal
Meanie Monster: following what you are being told
Meanie Monster: by someone who is clearly bias
Meanie Monster: in what she is saying
Contempt: We have all, arguably, assisted the boy in his trials.
Danica Amandine: Then I think you must move in different circles miss.
Danica Amandine: *smiles*
Contempt: If we did not trust him, why did any of you bother?
Queen Arya: agreed
Tatiana Thorn: i was more concerned about the rashnes of youth
Garrett Granth: there are plenty of folk who I do not trust yet still assist.
Joanna Weaver: Most of the people in this room have had a direct hand in raising this young man
Narcissa: I didn't bother. *smirks*
SunWolf: Compassion is to help one another.
Danica Amandine: *nods to Tatiana*
Queen Arya: wonders were half the populace has been in the last years
Danica Amandine: The boys age is a concern.
Arakad Thorn: that is why a council to stand by him m'dear
SunWolf: Not throw them to the wolves upon lead.
Joanna Weaver: His parents were killed during the invasion
Merci d'Rue: Since all the power lays in the councils hands I will have to say that that is the part that worries me most
Danica Amandine: However, he has been more concerned with not doing harm...
Danica Amandine: than with power.
Rosar: Kings are often young.
evenstar: In that case, I shall remain neutral
Danica Amandine: And I have not even discussed this with him yet.
Rosar: He will learn, or he will fail.
Joanna Weaver: At least he is young enough to learn
Joanna Weaver: with an open mind
Meanie Monster: If he isn't concerned with power then wouldn't he be a better asset on the council?
tang: o yea i remember when he made a slasher kill us good times good times
Rosar: Better that he has enough time to become a good king.
evenstar: 'tis the council that will matter, i do believe.
Danica Amandine: I see this appointment as a next step, a next logical step.
Rosar: Not at all.
Himeko Kukiko: *looks up towards Rosar*
Isk: It is the ideal move to make.
SunWolf: How long has he been away from the lands?
Meanie Monster: Does no one else see this decision was made before the meeting even started?
Meanie Monster: our votes me nothing
Meanie Monster: our opinions mean nothing
Danica Amandine: *turns to SunWolf*
Danica Amandine: Who?
Meanie Monster: its clear
Joanna Weaver: He hasn't really He's been training all this time
Arakad Thorn: the King is the figure head - the council is there to point him in the right direction
SunWolf: Addie
Arakad Thorn: until the time is right
Rosar: You are certainly free to leave.
Garrett Granth: So I have a question: Is he a citizen of Britannia? I've not seen his birth certificate.
Queen Arya: I have
Danica Amandine: Addie has been with us, among us since he was 5.
Joanna Weaver: * sighs at Garrett*
Rosar: I hear Ter Mur is always looking for new citizens.
Queen Arya: its here in brit
Contempt: *groan*
Joanna Weaver: We have seen it
Meanie Monster: Why should I leave and let the realm fall into the hands of something i view as evil?
Danica Amandine: *stands*
Contempt: I have seen it.
Danica Amandine: Come with me Garrett.
SunWolf: I am mistaken then, I thought he was trapped.
(Log Error, people want to ‘test’ Addie so Danica goes and gets him so he can be questioned)
Joanna Weaver: Addie was without even a home for the longest time.
You have joined the 'CruxAnsata' channel.
Arakad Thorn: Honor
Joanna Weaver: Living on the compassion of others
Ikrua Shimakaze: this is why you marry and have heirs to avoid issues like this
Rosar: Even then, sometimes this still happens.
billy: there has to be some ******* child out there some place
Buns Of Glory: *bows*
Meanie Monster: Hes not a boy! hes clearly a man!
Queen Arya: Hail Adamu!
Adamu Wellings: *enters slowly and quietly*
Contempt: Hail.
Arakad Thorn: ah Sir Wellings
Adamu Wellings: Hello.
Adamu Wellings: *bows respectfully*
Queen Arya: Glad to see you Adamu
Rosar: Greetings.
Anthraxas: *observes the youth*
Adamu Wellings: Miss Danica had asked me to come here?
Queen Arya: how are things Adamu
Mark: Good Eveniing Adamu
Bon Iver: Come take a seat.
Isk: *taps the back of the chair*
Bon Iver: Hello Addie.
Rosar: You are to be tested.
Adamu Wellings: I haven't been to Britain much.
Ka-Kurembo: oh?
Contempt: Has Lady Danica mentioned why you were summoned?
Rosar: I, for one, have a question.
Adamu Wellings: Miss Danica has told me of her idea just now.
Arakad Thorn: you may be here quite often after tonight
Queen Arya: tis an interesting town Adamu
Draven Daygoth: Atleast you are wearing moonglow colors Addie
Bon Iver: And your response?
Adamu Wellings: I must say, I am shocked.
Joanna Weaver: They look like Lotus colors to me
evenstar: We were told you were raised in this realm
Adamu Wellings: I had been thinking of my future.
Adamu Wellings: And I had resolved to take ownership of a tinker shop.
Adamu Wellings: I enjoy the craft of tinkering.
Adamu Wellings: Making things work and function together.
Rosar: Hah. The exemplar of sacrifice.
Contempt: *smiles*
Queen Arya: nothing wrong with learning all trades Adamu
Joanna Weaver: * smiles*
Raven: Good for you! Don't give up on your dreams!
evenstar: True about the trades.
Rosar: That seems appropriate.
Ka-Kurembo: hmm
Arakad Thorn: My kind of Boy *laughs softly*
Isk: Adamu, the world is your broken trinket.
evenstar: Whee will this tinker shop be located?
Adamu Wellings: I am sorry, I heard someone say they had a question?
tang: awww but if u were king u could buy all the tinker shops u wanted
Isk: That is what you must fix.
Rosar: Aye. I do.
Adamu Wellings: *turns to Rosar*
Adamu Wellings: Yessir?
Rosar: What is the role of a king?
Adamu Wellings: *thinks a moment*
Ka-Kurembo: *looks him over*
Adamu Wellings: The role of a King...
Bon Iver: You don't have to think of it as such.
Adamu Wellings: I have heard many answers to that question in my learning.
Merci d'Rue: * looks across the table*
Rosar: I hope that you have.
Rosar: I'm interested in *your* answer, however.
Adamu Wellings: However I disagree with the standard answer.
Bon Iver: Think of it as a leader, a speaker for the unheard, a prophet of the fallen.
Adamu Wellings: The 'standard' answer would be to rule.
Adamu Wellings: But I dissagree.
Rosar: But that is no real answer.
Adamu Wellings: A King, or any ruler, rules only at the consent of the people.
Narcissa: *frowns at this*
Queen Arya: whispers* Lead the people
Adamu Wellings: So in my mind, the answer to your question is this...
Ka-Kurembo: *listens carefully*
Zildjian: Hail all!
Adamu Wellings: A King must have enough Love for his people to put them before himself.
Himeko Kukiko: *smiles*
Adamu Wellings: Enough Courage to do what is right even when he is thought wrong.
Arakad Thorn: *watches the boy and smiles hearing his answer*
Ka-Kurembo: *nods slightly*
Divayth Fyr: he is on to it...
Queen Arya: smiles*
Divayth Fyr: *smiles*
tang: smart kid
Rosar: Even when his people think he is wrong?
Adamu Wellings: And be wise enough to be able to see the Truth of a matter.
Adamu Wellings: Even if it proves himself wrong.
tang: smart kid
Raven: A well-rehearsed answer. Who told you to say that lad...?
Bon Iver: We all believe you have those qualities, and if not they will be developed.
tang: smart kid
Ka-Kurembo: *looks over then back*
Arakad Thorn: I believe you have your answer Sir Rosar
Rosar: Perhaps. I think he has potential--provided he is telling the truth, and I have no reason to believe he is not.
Ikrua Shimakaze: If I may? I have a question?
Adamu Wellings: Yes?
Adamu Wellings: *looks across the table to Ikrua*
Ikrua Shimakaze: Lord Shimakaze of the Islands of Tokuno
Rosar: Sometimes, what is popular is not always the right course of action. Consent versus wisdom, or versus justice.
Ka-Kurembo: *grins*
Ikrua Shimakaze: We have an empress who rules us
Adamu Wellings: *nods*
Ikrua Shimakaze: so my question is this
Bon Iver: *sigh*
Adamu Wellings: And I have heard that the lands of Tokuno are very beautiful.
Ikrua Shimakaze: How would who ever takes over her
Ikrua Shimakaze: deal with our Island nation and Empress?
Adamu Wellings: *nods*
Ka-Kurembo: *looks across the table*
Adamu Wellings: Many see Tokuno, and Even Malas as independant... much like the Lands of Ter-Mur.
Ka-Kurembo: *nods*
Bon Iver: So they will be allies?
Adamu Wellings: I have no reason to challenge such a belief.
Ikrua Shimakaze: You assume that
Joanna Weaver: Diplomacy would be best.
evenstar: How then, would you treat them, as equals?
Merci d'Rue: * arches a brow *
Adamu Wellings: Britannia is one of several countries within our existence.
Adamu Wellings: We can not pretend to be islands.
Garrett Granth: *whispers* Sir Rosar, a word if I may, one moment.
Rosar: Hmm? Fine.
Garrett Granth: *indicates a scribed book in his hand*
Joanna Weaver: * speaks to Isk aside*
Joanna Weaver: Did not Tokuno once sit as a member of the Protectorate?
Adamu Wellings: We are all part of the same world.
Sid: yes they did
Rosar: Oh, that's interesting.
Adamu Wellings: My main concern here is this.
Joanna Weaver: And the regency before that
Rosar: Found it upstairs, you say?
Arakad Thorn: aye they did Lady Joanna
Garrett Granth: Indeed.
Isk: *nods to Joanna*
Rosar: It's not even sealed. How careless of them!
Adamu Wellings: Our world is constantly being tampered with.
Rosar: Why, anyone could write anything at all in here, if they wanted to.
Adamu Wellings: From the Time Lord, the Virtue Bane...
Rosar: But why on earth would they do that?
Adamu Wellings: The Xorinite.
Adamu Wellings: Any number of forces.
Bon Iver: I have to excuse my self, I have school in the morn. I do apologize.
Adamu Wellings: We must hold ourselves in our plain of existence separate.
Rosar: I think I'll look into the matter on my own time.
Adamu Wellings: from those outside.
Garrett Granth: I doubt that very much. Good day sir.
Adamu Wellings: We can not allow such intrusions such as the Virtuebane.
Adamu Wellings: To gain a foothold here.
Isk: *nods*
Adamu Wellings: That means that all aspects of our plain must work together.
Jonas: And what do you think of the Gargoyle 'intrusion'?
Adamu Wellings: Tokuno, Ter-Mur, Malas...
Adamu Wellings: And Britannia.
Rosar: Would you be prepared to lead soldiers in battle against such enemies?
Adamu Wellings: I must admit, I am mildly put off by Gargoyles.
Adamu Wellings: An honest answer and Ill not lie.
Meanie Monster: Figures
Rosar: Many are. At least you admit it.
Adamu Wellings: Gargoyles remind me much of Daemons.
Queen Arya: anything that is different an not understood is usually feared
Adamu Wellings: However.
Nicholas Tarrant: You would suggest suppressing their independence for the common good?
Raven: And your associate behind you... hates elves...
Divayth Fyr: *chuckles*
Jonas: Understandable, and honesty appreciated.
Nicholas Tarrant: Interesting.
Adamu Wellings: The Gargoyles of Ter-Mur have shown themselves to be allies at times.
Queen Arya: aye
Adamu Wellings: I would certainly do my best to remain neutral with them.
Rosar: He has suggested no such thing, sir. Listen to his words, not the ones you want to hear.
Adamu Wellings: Or on good terms.
Ikrua Shimakaze: thats all well and good
evenstar: Please, let him speak for himself.
Nicholas Tarrant: Mm.
Adamu Wellings: Not at all.
Nicholas Tarrant: If you say so.
Ikrua Shimakaze: but you have not said how you feel about Tokuno and our Empress
Ka-Kurembo: *looks over and whispers*
SunWolf: He hasn't even accepted anything yet, why are you voting
Meanie Monster: Do you feel that all races are equal? Humans? Elfs? and yes, Even Gargoyles?
Rosar: He recognizes its independence.
Adamu Wellings: This example is going to hurt my view here... but I can think of none better.
Joanna Weaver: I think that.. given the topic, those of other facets ought not interfere.
Wynn: *looks back*
Rosar: Tokuno is your concern, Shimakaze-san--not his.
Wynn: yes that is an important question
Raven: The lad wants to be a Tinker... leave him be to live his life as he pleases!
Adamu Wellings: Tokuno, Malas, Ter-Mur and Britannia
Meanie Monster: Do you feel that all races are equal? Humans? Elfs? and yes, Even Gargoyles?
Ka-Kurembo: *nods*
Adamu Wellings: Are like fingers of the hand of our world.
Rosar: Rest assured that if our Addie, here, ever tries to meddle in your affairs, that I, for one, would oppose him as well as I can.
Tatiana Thorn: *nods in agreement*
Jonas: Aye
Wynn: Sir Wellings
Adamu Wellings: Yes miss Wynn?
Adamu Wellings: *smiles when he sees her*
Wynn: are all races equal in your eyes?
Himeko Kukiko: *Looks across the table at him, then up at the man standing behind him*
Meanie Monster: lol figures
Meanie Monster: i asked the question :/
Nicholas Tarrant: Someone likes the sound of their own voice.
Adamu Wellings: Ah, the Magicinian argument.
Adamu Wellings: Let me be clear.
Tatiana Thorn: *hides a smile*
Rosar: What is important is that he believes that they are equal under the law.
Adamu Wellings: Each of us is a creature created with a purpose.
Wynn: *listens closely*
Adamu Wellings: We each sometimes see ourselves as better than others.
Adamu Wellings: But other times
Adamu Wellings: we see our own weaknesses.
Adamu Wellings: We all have our role to play.
Meanie Monster: You sir have failed to answer the question
Tatiana Thorn: *smiles*
Joanna Weaver: he has answered it twice
Meanie Monster: no he hasn't
Adamu Wellings: We all have a important spot within creation.
Meanie Monster: its a yes or no question
Wynn: *nods*
Meanie Monster: are all races
Meanie Monster: to him
Meanie Monster: equal
Meanie Monster: yes or no
evenstar: Please allow him to speak for himself.
Tatiana Thorn: i always tend to think of myself as... well not as grand as others
Adamu Wellings: No one's 'place' is more important than another, no individual more valuable than another.
Adamu Wellings: Unless...
Himeko Kukiko: *Glances at him and nods slightly*
Wynn: so in turn we are all equal
Adamu Wellings: They prove themselves such.
Arakad Thorn: *nods once*
Jonas: Some of us are just more evil looking than others *smirks*
Arakad Thorn: well said Sir Wellings
Adamu Wellings: *nods to Wynn*
Wynn: *smiles*
Wynn: thank you
Rosar: I say again, what is important is how they will be viewed under the laws of our land.
Meanie Monster: I'm sorry sir but that goes against the founding believes of the virtues
Meanie Monster: A circle has no end. It continues forever, with all parts equally important in the success of the w
Meanie Monster: whole.
Meanie Monster: Our society is the same. It too continues forever, with all members (and all virtues) equal parts
Meanie Monster: of the unified whole.
Raven: *looks at book on the table*
Meanie Monster: no one man is more important than the next
Adamu Wellings: Isnt that what I just said?
Mark: I would say they will follow our laws the saem as we will follow theirs
billy: yes you did adamu
Rosar: I believe that is what he meant.
