Bacharth Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 King Vincent came into the ballroom dressed in a simple black suit. Frederickson was just wearing a grey suit with a gold tie, and walked with his head hung low, to try not to attract attention. Vince, however, walked through the ballroom and sought out people he already knew, and maybe have them introduce him to new world leaders. He was, after all, a diplomat as well as a leader.

Centurius Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 "I've been well. Trying to hold up as best as possible. Brisbane is rebuilding itself nicely, so things around around the country are much better. I do want to thank you again for the countless amounts of aid that have come into our ports. Seeing the Croatian flag on the crates, well it almost makes me want to cry and I promise that I will return the favor ten times over, if Croatia ever requires it." She smiled at Nadine's first comment. "You're growing up already. But don't lose your heart to politics just yet, emotion and love are rare in this world and they are more respected than the most feared leader." "You have helped us enough already Sarah, without you I do not think this Palace back to it's beauty would even be possible. This music, this culture it all missed. Do not get me wrong Europe was central in Nordland but it was different, now I can listen to famous Austrians, Croatians and many more again without being looked at strangely. You have given this nation the best thing one could ever get, freedom. And for that you have my eternal gratitude" Nadine said genuinely with respect. "And I wont, believe me while I love politics I love my people more" Meanwhile the music changed to a famous one, one of Ludwig von Beethoven recently declared Hero of Culture a new title created at the rise of Greater Croatia to honour famous people. At the same time several Civilians from the Imperial Guard went through the room with drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurius Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) Director Egon arrived at the Ball, looking very sharp in a three-button black tuxedo with a thin line of velvet on the lapels, white tuxedo shirt with emerald studs, and a white vest with a white long tie. Consul of State Worthington was dressed similarly but more traditionally, with a one button black tuxedo, white cummerbund, and white bow tie. Deputy Consul of State Foster looked stunning in a one shoulder, floor length black gown with hints of green in it. The dress was classy, yet had an allure to it as it hugged her in all the right places. Her hair was up in a simple bun and she wore emerald stud earrings and an emerald and white gold necklace. The 3 were escorted to the room where all others were and were immediately greeted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. "It is a pleasure to meet you all" Natarle moved around the hall greeting people and discussing a few different topics of conversation as she got to know where people were from and their general feelings, she also introduced Athrun Zala a fair number of people were surprised that she would have her main rival's son with her but it didn't seem to bother the pair. Natarle had just moved away from a couple of diplomats when she spotted Nadine making her way down the stairs and she moved to a spot where she could be seen and yet wouldn't be imposing herself. The personal Lieutenant noticed Natarle and walked towards her. "You are from Pax Pacis right?" Just as Empress Peacecraft walked down the stairs, the Bavarian King got out of the limousine bringing him here. He was quite interested in meeting the leaders of Europe and, indeed, the world. However, unlike almost anybody else, King Maximilian III. arrived not in a tuxedo or any such clothing. He wore more traditional clothing. He walked into the building, watching the many people attending the event, wondering about some what country they were leading. He knew only europeans leaders at the moment, but surely that would change soon. The Prime Minister walked towards the King. "We haven't met yet your highness, I am Stjepan Mesic Prime Minister of Greater Croatia" King Vincent came into the ballroom dressed in a simple black suit. Frederickson was just wearing a grey suit with a gold tie, and walked with his head hung low, to try not to attract attention. Vince, however, walked through the ballroom and sought out people he already knew, and maybe have them introduce him to new world leaders. He was, after all, a diplomat as well as a leader. They were immediately noticed by the Head of the Imperial Guard. "Welcome to Greater Croatia, it is a pleasure to meet the leaders behind our new friends. Hun Sen arrived at the ball as soon as he was able to get away from Hue. He approached the ballroom, and started looking for food as oppose to people. He would soon see a large table filled with food from all European cultures possible, in addition there were some from other continents too.

Lynneth Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 The Prime Minister walked towards the King."We haven't met yet your highness, I am Stjepan Mesic Prime Minister of Greater Croatia" Maximilian III. nodded, smiling at the PM. "It's an honour to meet you, Prime Minister Mesic." He held out his right hand to shake the other man's hand, in the meantime trying to assess him mentally.

KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Mikhail and Rania arrived at the ball. They exited the car and walked towards the entrance to the building. They entered and began to talk to the various other diplomats present. They didn't see anyone besides Sarah that they really knew, so this would be a new experience.

Michael McBride Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 The 3 were escorted to the room where all others were and were immediately greeted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs."It is a pleasure to meet you all" "And you as well." Replied Director Egon, shaking the man's hand in inclining his head in a show of respect. "Allow me to introduce your opposite in Xaristan, William Worthington, Consul of State." Worthington smiled as he shook the man's hand. "Please, call me Bill." Egon smirked. "And his lovely assistant, Heidi Foster, Deputy Consul of Foreign Affairs." "Pleasure to meet you, sir." A slight curtsy accompanied her greeting. After the pleasantries had been exchanged, Louis turned to his two senior foreign affairs officials and close friends. "Alright, here's the game plan. Bill, I've already seen you eying up the waiter with the booze, go and get some. But no getting too drunk and no old white man dancing, understand?" Heidi laughed at the comment, they'd all seen Bill try and dance before. "And you," Louis said, rounding to her, "let's try not to make anyone cry tonight, shall we?" Heidi sighed dramatically. "I will do my best." She said, winking at him. "Excellent. You two go have fun. I need to act leaderlike." He straightened his tux jacket and started walking in the direction of the Empress and Sarah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah still standing with Nadine caught out of the corner of her eye another moving figure walking towards them. She had seen his face in the news and on foreign correspondent reports. Mainly covering the recent wars on the North American continent. As he neared, she turned her complete attention to him. "Director Egon I presume, from Xaristan?" She held out her hand to his. "Sarah Tintagyl, of the Hanseatic Commonwealth. Its a pleasure to finally meet you. I've heard a lot about Xaristan on the news recently. The peninsula of warmongers they say." She said smiling in jest. "I hope everything is finally stable on the American continent though." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have been, well, from your report about the news, I'm sure you can guess they have been busy." He chuckled at her warmongers comment. "The people were born into war, it is their nature in some ways, I am afraid. But all indications are that they are ready for peace, and prosperity. With the former UAS territories stabilized, hopefully a new era of peace can grace the North American continent. Actually, my counterparts and I attending this Ball actually created quite a stir in the country in a positive way. I'm being told "Peace Balls" are being held in Xaristan today as well, Empress. So I have you to thank for that." He turned back to Sarah. "And how about you? The tyranny you fought against has vanished from the European continent.

Reconstruction in Brisbane, rebuilding our economy, our military, our infrastructure, all to keep the Commonwealth as a beautiful nation in the world today." She looked around the palace, the sheer beauty of its gilded ceilings and tapestries . "Vienna really is beautiful. Director, I don't think that this beauty could have been appreciated under the Nordic regimes, so I must say, for what has transpired in the recent months. I am extremely thankful for. I believe technically we were allies, even though our forces never saw each other face to face. Perhaps later, you can introduce me to the greater examples of North American politics. With the rising economy and all, trading partners are in high demand." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack the navy to transport a force across the ocean." The Director accepted a drink from a passing waiter and took a sip. "Mmm... good scotch," he said wistfully and took another sip. "As for trading, Xaristan has vast natural resources of oil off our west and east coasts, along with gold reserves in the northern part of our nation. We are still discovering how much oil we truly possess, and are always discovering more. We have a small but growing fruit business as well, growing things like oranges, lemons, limes, apples, grapes, grapefruit, and pears. If you wish, I can have my Secretary of Trade send over a fruit basket for you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natarle turned to greet the personal Lieutenant bring ing her hand up vertically next to her head within a hands length in the form of the Pax Pacis salute. Athrun Zala did the same though his eyes moved over the Lieutenant as if he was measuring him. "Yes you are correct I am the leader of Pax Pacis and this young man is Athrun Zala our finest combat pilot" replied Natarle gesturing to Athrun with her arm.

What’s an international event without Generalissimo? After the conversation with Sarah and the Director Nadine noticed a face she had seen on tv and pictures of her christening, after looking another time she realized it was Generalissimo of which she still had a jet and had grown to like due to his actions regarding Nordland as such she walked towards him. "Generalissimo? It is an honour I can finally meet you in person" Natarle turned to greet the personal Lieutenant bring ing her hand up vertically next to her head within a hands length in the form of the Pax Pacis salute.

Subtleknifewielder Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) OOC: It's about time I got caught up...I miss all the good stuff on weekends... IC: General Davies had, this time, cowed his aides. "I don't give a damn whether they make me look regal! I feel like a walking tank in all that metal!" he'd finally figured out a comparison that fit when he wore all those medals. Instead of the dress uniform, he wore combat fatigues designed for the outback. He was accompanied by a single guard that was apparently a Sergeant, also in combat fatigues. This man had the hat of his uniform down low, so few people could see his face. As they walked in, Davies rolled his eyes. "Ok, you wanted to mingle," he said to the guard (who had duitifully surrendered his weapons to the Croatians), "then mingle," he finished, giving the man a slight shove on the back. he himself decided to see what was there to eat.

Subtleknifewielder Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 The 'guard' he'd shoved turned back to glare at him, just for a moment revealing dark eyes underneath the cap. Davies ignored him. When he was approached by the Empress, he returned the handshake she offered. He removed his cap with the other, as he was in the presence of a lady. "General Davies. The pleasure is mine, I assure you," he said, a twinkle in his eye. He briefly glanced down at his military fatigues, and offered an apologetic smile. "Forgive me for this attire, but I simply refused to let my aides dress me up in the closet-ful of medals my dress uniform is these days." ---- The 'guard roamed the ball, not really meeting anyone's eyes, but he was still searching for someone...ah, there she was. he carefully wended his way through the crowd, until he had come up behind the Lady Protector of the Hanseatic Commonwealth. Silently, he tapped her on the shoulder. "Save the first dance for me, m'lady?" As she would turn to meet him, she would see a familiar, smiling face under the visor of the cap--Anthony had come to call on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
