[Tom Marvolo Riddle]

The Dark Mark has claimed from the great leader of iKrolm the island Sulawesi, located in Indonesia in the name of the Dark Lord, Tom Marvolo Riddle II. The government will be a dictatorship, although it has no genocidal or rascist values. The leader, Tom Marvolo Riddle II, has appointed Native Indonesian Nigel Rickter as Head of State. His vice president was also appointed. Tom Marvolo Riddle the third has claimed the position.

Lead diplomat, native Indonesian Fugi the Great, has decided to be open to treaty's and to establish embassy's in other nations.

All Hail the Dark Lord!

His world shall quake and all of the Empire will rejoice in our steadfast campaign.[/i]

Selenarctos extends diplomatic recognition to the Sulawesian government.



OOC: The current leader of Selenarctos is President Hygin Romero; I am not a character.

I will glady meet you your majesty. My only request is that it shall be in a neutral country. Also it must be as soon as possible. I will come, along with lead diplomat Fuji the Great. I would assume that you and one other member of your nation will come as well. Please give me a time, date and location immediately. Sincerely, the Dark Lord.

[iKrolm]

The government of Selenarctos offers our facilities to host the meeting in a neutral country as requested.

Riddle,

The Selearctians have allowed us to have our meeting in their country. I am available to meet immediately and will make haste towards the archipelago, perhaps we could meet outside of Manila, in the countryside? I feel that this meeting may not be a traditional diplomatic engagement. I will also be bringing my second, Nika Radinvoka. We will see just what kind of Dark Lord you truly are.

Later that day, Theresia and Nika would board a plane to the Philippines to await this false Dark Lord.

I'm bringing beer, try to enjoy this and not apply too much logic to it.

By all means. Unfortunately I am unable to join you, but enjoy a Manila beer on me.

Planes from both delegations would be directed to an Air Force base in the rugged Cordillera Central mountain range of northern Luzon, where a well polished honor guard from the 16th Mechanized escorted the visitors to armored limousines. From the Air Force base, the visitors were driven to a large, flat, isolated, and roughly circular field of neatly trimmed grass thought suitable for Lady Theresia's request, far from cameras and prying eyes. A light scattering of clouds in the sky promised to keep the day cooler without rain, though humidity was unavoidable this time of year.

A sergeant of the 1st Mechanized special forces in a dress SCU complete with a gleaming Kampilan at his side greeted both parties on the field, inviting them to begin as the limousines withdrew.

[Evangeline Anovilis]

The Faraway Daily Mail and Globe would like to ask if this meeting is open for press reporters or not. We would find it a good title story for our next issue, as a change away from daily reportages on the African war.

[Markus Wilding]

The Socialist Republic of Georgia is very wary of this self-proclaimed "dictatorship" and its "Dark Lord".

It is up to the participants if they choose to allow press into the location vicinity.

[Tom Marvolo Riddle]

1 member of the Selencartos Press, One from the Dark Mark Press and One from Tianxia's Press shall be allowed. Following the meeting, foriegn press will be allowed to ask questions.

I will be coming to the meeting, along with my son, Tom Marvolo Riddle III. We asume that Selencartos will be taking care of security.

[iKrolm]

Security arrangements have been taken care of, and a reporter from the Manila Times will be present per your request.

[Tom Marvolo Riddle]

The president, Tom Morvolo Riddle the 2nd, arrived for the meeting. He, along with his son went directly towards the meeting spot. Along wtih both Riddle's was Press Secretary Giorgio Rexsder who was in charge of the RIddle Press, a government owned newspaper. They met up with the Manila Times Reporter as well. They requested that all three news agencys film the encounter to ensure that no one would edit the film. It was to be aired live on State Ran television in the Dark Mark.

"I can't believe here stupidity" said TMR III "Claiming your not the Dark Lord. You've murdered your own people, tortured children who disobey you and even killed someone for saying something ill about someone who you had never met before."

"Yes son but soon we can put this scum away. Death before Dishonor, remember that." Said Riddle II

"May i ask "Asked Press Secretary Rexsder "Why are you meeting her?"

"Because she's scum and needs to be eliminated as a threat. I don't plan to kill. I plan to reconsile and hopefully... well if i told you it might leek to the public. If her nation found out about it, it might cause a world war." Said TMR II

"That bad?"

"Yes. My plan might work. Well it will it always does."

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Landing in Manila, the Tianxian party moved by carriage out to the lush countryside towered by great mountains and surrounded by fog. The sun shone with brilliant rays across the bright sky and allowed strange prisms of color to glide across the ground; it was an odd place for such a strange meeting. Within the carriage as it thundered up the narrow dirt roads, Theresia fanned herself and watched Nika glance out the window at the passing trees. "You seem off, is something wrong?[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]"[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]"Normally we wouldn't give the time of day to some newly declared nation in Australasia, why care now?"[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The Empress laughed and listened as the driver pulled back on the horses reins, the speed of the carriage beginning to decrease. "The gentleman considers himself a figure of power, dark or light, it means little to me, but he is in our realm and should realize that such claims are met with answers. I'm simply providing a reality check," she smirked as the carriage finally came to a stop, "Dark Lord, this should be amusing." Theresia waited for a moment as her driver opened the door and she walked out of the carriage, a tricorne firmly on her head and a black dress and corset hugging her body as she walked across the ground. Nika behind her in a general's outfit and sword at her side in blazing yellow and red coloring. Seeing the delegation from the Dark Mark ahead, the Empress bowed her head slightly and raised her hand. "Welcome, Riddle, so, rumors say you are some kind of Lord of Darkness. I...am...very keen to understand this and see it with my own eyes."[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Her piercing eyes scanning over his body and the bodies of his entourage as she held her palms together.[/font][/color]

[Triyun]

The Emperor sat back as they moved through the lush countryside in the carriage. In his opinion this was nothing more than a glorified cult leader. Never the less it would be interesting to see how things developed. Afterall cult leaders if placing themselves in the right areas could become dangerous. It was difficult to believe that the Dragon Empire was as successful as it was. As best Jia could tell it was run by a man who belonged in an episode of Ripley's Believe it or Not.

He turned to his wife as he yawned taking a sip of water, the mugginess of the tropical island intense. "You know... there really is too much unjustified obsession with the occult and such. I remember the days when you had to actually make an evil Empire before being declared Dark Lord. These days everyone with 3 acres is declaring themselves the awesomest bad ass alive." he said.

As they arrived his suspicions were confirmed, the sickly man did not really seem worth a challenge. He looked rather disappointed. Hopefully they could still hit the beach by the time this was done.

Following the arrival of Tintagyl, Riddle was somewhat stuned by her stupidity.

"So she thinks im not the Dark Lord? How would she know? She never visited the country, never even met me."

Riddle never gets this mad. Never before had he thought someone had betrayed him. Perhaps he thought, maybe he couldn't trust his own son. He was paranoid. Never before had he been paranoid because he had nothing to be afraid of. For once in his life, he feared that something might happen to him.

"Ah Ms. Tintagyl, a wonder to meet you. Now why would you question my power? Is this your way of saying you fear me?"

[Sarah Tintagyl]

"Well first of all, my name is Maria Theresia of House Yuan-Hapsburg, not Tintagyl. That woman has been dead for over a century and if you cannot even say who I am then there is no hope for whatever power you might boast." The Empress laughed as she began to walk near Riddle, "Now, fear is the last thing in my mind, but it should be the first choice in yours. You call yourself the Dark Lord and you are not, you cannot begin to claim such a powerful title, however, I may be able to help you...if you serve me instead."

She smirked and gestured him to kneel onto the ground in front of her figure.

[/quote]"You want Me to kneel to you?" Riddle seemed stuned "Why would i kneel to someone with no power, not nearly as much as mine and someone who questions my own power." I wish i would have hired that sniper, I would be telling him to take the shot. Your stupidity now just disgusts me. You continue to say i'm not the Dark Lord. Why? Why would you question my power?"

[Captain Enema]

Sumerzilla stirs angrily in its lair, something has awoken the slumbering beast and it's feeling the need to sate its hunger. Not with KFC either.

"Well then come, Riddle, show me what you can do." The Empress smirked with a gleam in her eye, "Why not settle this, woman between man?" She reached to her side and withdrew a rapier and pressed it against Riddle's cheek. "You've been calling me stupid and you call yourself the Dark Lord, you have yet to show me any evidence of a power that could defeat the Empress of Tianxia. How about, until second blood?" Theresia chuckled and nicked him on the face as a small drop of blood ran down from his cheek.

[/quote] "I won't kill you. That won't hurt you and i have no intrest in that. I would rather kill your people, the people you claim mean the most to you. As we speak 250,000 Heavily Armed Troops, Snipers and Spys are preparing to go to war. And not only will your people be killed but your family will as well. Most likely you will live to see the fall of your empire,a s long as you don't commit suicide." Riddle decided to call his son, TMR III, over. He asked "Son, would you ask the General if the troops are ready?" TMR III left immediately. "Now I believe that your stupidity will get in the way of my power grab. I will not reconsile, I will not take peace and i will not make a deal. I will not rest until i kill each and every one of your citizen's, blow up all of your schools and demolish your capital." TMR III came back.

"The troops are ready sir, what are your commands?"

"Nothing yet, give it time. I'm also appointing you to military general, make sure nothing goes wrong."

[Triyun]

Unable to contain the hysterics of the situation, the Emperor of Tianxia burst out laughing at the absurdity of the threat. "I'm sorry continue as you were."

[Captain Enema]

Sumerzilla can contain itself no more, it must be free. From the deep bowels of the earth the mutant lizard, standing nearly 300 feet tall, smashes its way free of the underground lair that had contained it for so long. The insidious Tianxian cerebal cortex implant that had been installed by use of a jackhammer and chainsaws, appropriate tools for brain surgery on a 300 foot radioactive pissed off mutant lizard, was pinging images of the 'Dark Lord‘ upstart. Sumerzilla takes a running jump into the Sea of Japan and begins to make its way towards the Phillipines, but not before updating it's facebook page.

[iKrolm]

"Mr. Riddle," the sergeant overseeing the exchange intoned with rigid professionalism, "This meeting was called because the Empress does not believe you to be the Dark Lord, nor to have any right to the title. The Empress has issued a challenge in single armed combat, not warfare, and I must request that you end such threats until the challenge is resolved. Do you wish for a blade?"
