From Dusk until Dawn


Recommended Posts

Asriel walks slowly up to the podium, which is surrounded by the flags of the Browncoats, the League of Small Superpowers, and his home nation of Surda, in his traditional Browncoat garb, holding a scroll in his hand. He waits for the applause to quiet down, takes a drink from his silver flask, and begins to speak

Friendship, something that unites everyone in some way, is something that should be cherished. No matter who it is with. Today I stand here, a witness to a great friendship which has lasted a long time between some of us, and has started to thrive between those who have not been around quite as long.

Asriel pauses, taking out some more notes and begins reading from them

The League of Small Superpowers has been a great ally, and a great supporter of us Browncoats, since before we even announced our existence to the world. Through their friendship, and support, we were able to succeed as well as we have thus far, and with their continued friendship and support, I am sure, that we will be able to succeed well into the future.

Asriel takes one final pause before saying his final piece, taking one last drink from his flask.

I am not here today to merely talk about friendship though, I am here to show you that although friendship does not require a piece of paper to exist, that sometimes it is best for the world to know.

From dusk, until dawn shall this treaty exist, but for eternity our friendship will last.

Asriel unrolls the scroll and begins reading the treaty aloud to his audience

The 'From Dusk 'til Dawn' Protectorate Treaty

Preamble:

Sometimes, when friends come knocking at the door needing a helping hand, your obligated to offer your hand. That hand is to pull them up and support them while they stand tall. Sometimes it takes a true friend to say yes when all others turn away. It is in that spirit that he League of Small Super Powers and The Browncoats hereby sign the “From Dusk till Dawn†protection treaty.

Browncoats will reciprocally appoint or elect a representative liaison to LoSS to facilitate the flow of information and advice.

D. No acts of Browncoats shall require the approval of their protector, LoSS, save those treaties and accords guaranteeing mutual military defense or aggression. All other internal and diplomatic decisions of Browncoats may be enacted with impunity from LoSS scrutiny.

Article Two: Military

A. Recognizing that the first line of defense in Planet Bob ought to always be temperate diplomatic relations, LoSS will provide BC with any diplomatic assistance required in securing peace for the protectorate.

B. As BC now enters the complete and enduring military protection of LoSS, any attack on the protectorate is now an attack on the protector, entitled to the same status as a direct attack on the protector.

C. If either signatory should fall victim to aggressive actions from a third party, the countersigned is bound to act in its defense by every available means.

D. If either signatory should commit aggressive actions against a third party, the countersigned is encouraged to support its aggression by every available means. BC is strongly discouraged from entering into an aggressive war while under protection.

Before leaving, Asriel clears his throat one last time.

There is beer, wine, rum, cookies (the best kind!), and almost anything else you can think of here, so feel free to celebrate with us on this day. I will be providing refreshments in #CN-Browncoats and #LOSS, so there is no need to bring your own.

Thank you.

Comes in and puts down a fresh tray of shots and other variable drinks. Even as he does so he can feel the breath of the mob surrounding him. With a quick dart out of the way Slade manages to save his limbs as every one goes for the tray, SUNB and Bela fighting over most of the shots. As he turns to go back to the kitchen, Slade pulls out a bottle and tosses it to Hal. What appears to be the word Rum shimmers as it turns in the air.

Special order.
