Military Officer Exchange (Open. all tech levels)

[Dark Victoriana]

Greater Orensta

Princess Sarah thins a moment.
"Well definitely not the Royal Guard. That is open only to those born here. The infantry is a possibility, some interesting areas in the South by the trading posts.. The air Force is new and always looking for new recruits."
She orders two more Blue gins.

Salvatagard republic

Captain Rossetti checks their passports and documentation before passing it back to them.
"Well gentlemen that all seems to be in order. On my own initiative I will allow the translators access to the Palace. Though please be aware that Officers only may wear weaponry within the Palace. Officers may take rooms within the Barracks or Palace as you choose."
His composure is shaken when a moment or two later the Royal family disembark. A quick phone call has two cars and a Ad-Hoc military escort ready within a few minutes.
"Your Imperial Majesties you are most welcome to our nation,I have notified the palace of your arrival. the journey will take around an hour."
It is a small convoy that speeds through Victoriana City.

Taigawa

The waiter nods.
"Of course Ma'am. please let us seat you and I will prepare your order."
Her table is in a corner with a good view of the room. A fresh bottle of champagne and two glasses are ready. within a short while a trolley arrives with a large platter of Pork, Beef, Venison, Veal & Chicken. There is a selection of various mushrooms as well as three types of bread. Sadly no Swiss cheese was to hand but three types of cheddar are laid out. a large mixed bowl of gooseberries & strawberries are laid out for desert.
"I must apologise for the absence of the requested cheese, but I trust this will be an adequate spread for you."

Svebia

Charlotte gives a small smile.
"Well I cannot promise full privacey but, well let us see shall we."
The gardens are laid out neatly, white gravel paths cutting through the neatly manicure lawns & flower beds. There are large clumps of bushes and the whispers & giggles they hear indicate that others have similar ideas as they.
The rose garden has a huge variety of species, with benches scattered about. Charlotte sits and pats the bench next to her.

Matilda continues with her mock sigh and looks up at Prince Moykanko from under her lashes.
"Ah but I am but a single female travelling a dangerous land, where will I stay? Perhaps a woodcutter will allow me too stay in his cabin out out of the kindness of his heart..."

Captain Brooks raises her glass to Ludwig in salute. The conversation passes into the usual oddities that drinkers discuss. Some sexual, some odd, some.just plain freaky...
"If you had a time machine and traveled back to your 16 year old self to hit on boys/girls is that creepy?"
"Can you drink yourself sober?"

Thaitum

"Of course, if you would step this way."
The drive takes an hour or so through Victoriana City. They pass the Opium dens, the high quality brothels. A large running fight between the child gangs and the Police runs up and down the slum streets. The older teenagers are 'fashion' walking down main street trying to out do each other in clothing styles. Bars and Ice-Cream rooms are crowded.
Arriving at the Palace Captain Knollys speaks
"As Officers you may either take rooms within the Palace or in the barracks as you choose, if you let me know i will ensure the rooms are prepared so you clean & freshen up before joining the party."

Nova Capile

Princess Margaret waves her hands to loosen her fingers and grins.
"I will take first shot whilst you load."
She sights carefully and shoots putting the first shot in the rabbits right ear.
As she awaits his shot she calls through for the waiters to bring over a couple of beers and some snacks.

The woman in the bed mutters in her sleep as Oskar gets up, but soon settles back into sleep. She is in her undergarments, her dress next to the bed.
(OOC: The waiters did undress Oskar so he is also only in his underwear.)

[Greater Orensta]

"Then infantry would be my best option... " she kept drinking and ordering until she had about five, Riha had just started smiling at Sarah, she was muttering to herself in another language

Omar and Khema were speaking to the guards around the place

the guard with the dog was doing the same

"I must apologise for the absence of the requested cheese, but I trust this will be an adequate spread for you."

Sylvia waited as she'd been told. When her food arrived, she disreguarded the lack of her desired cheese. "Well, you can't give me what you don't have...so you compensated for it. Quite nicely too, I might add. Have two hundred Imperial Galactic Credits. Each is worth about two dollars. The TSE says the Economy is growing well this year....so...enjoy." With that, she began to eat.

[Dark Victoriana]

Greater Orensta

Princess Sarah smiles back at Riha, then takes her hand .
"Come with me, let me show you the Palace and introduce you to a couple of people."
She leads her out of the Central room and down an Oak lined corridor to another large room lined with portraits of various noble Victorians. The central areas of the room are taken up with various decorative pottery and object d'arts.
Sarah points to a single plain looking vase decorated with a single rose.
"That is mothers favourite, a gift from a now long dead friend, or admirer, mother won't say which.

The guards are happily talking to both Omar & Khema and indeed are eager to make exchanges, keen to exchange badges, rank patches etc. A few are also willing to trade number 4 Opium for kit, or alcohol etc.
The hard faced Palace guards are happy to talk but will not trade.

The guards with the dog gets offered a beer and the dog gets treats.

Taigawa

The waiter is taken aback by Sylvias gesture. He takes the money.
"Ma'am this is most kind of you. Should you require anything, food , drink or information just ask for McKenzie."
He bows and moves away. A few moments later a shadow falls over her, looking up she see the same blonde girl that had given her the thumbs up. She indicates the 2nd champagne glass & chair.
"Would you mind?"

[Greater Orensta]

"Ev bedew" she says "It's beautiful... I had a purple rose out where i live... indigenous to Greater Orensta...I can tell you now and admirer gave it to me... she's back home.." Riha thought

Omar pointed to the four patches on his harm, Khema explained them "The first two were from the fight for unification of Yemen and Oman, back in 1991, the third was for the bombing of Medina and Riyahd, the last one is the patch of Peshmerga"

The guard with the dog, Kaharii Al-Jirari, and The dog Sharifa, meaning Honest, Kaharii took the beer and gave Sharifa the treat

[The Grand Duchy Of Nova Capile]

Walther murmurs something under his breath as Margaret's bullet planted itself in the rabbit's ear; he hoped his practice would pay off, somewhat. Finishing loading his Glock, Nemetz held it up and aimed carefully. He decided to aim for the rabbit's body, which, although lower to the ground, was bigger and therefor easier to hit. He fired. The bullet threw itself forward and whistled toward's its intended target, slamming right into the rabbit's lower back. Walther shrugged and lowered his gun, anxious to see how the Princess would do with her next shot.

Oskar noticed his pair of military slacks lying on a chair and hastily pulled them on, his heart racing. He began searching for his undershirt as the woman shifted around in the bed, still asleep. He finally found his shirt and pulled it on, gathering up the rest of his formal attire and laying it down on the bed. He wasn't about to leave, not without answers. Should he wake her up? He decided to wait for a bit and see if she stirred herself up. In the meantime he glanced around at the room, recognizing it as his.

"Would you mind?"

"Not at all. I'm glad I used my shore leave to come here. The people are mostly nice, the food is good, and this is the most champeign I've had since the victory at Miyesmos. Life is being good to me right now. I guess it's only fair I be a kind person as well, if anything to perpetuate this atnosphere. So far, this has been a vacation."

[Dark Victoriana]

Greater Orensta

Princess Sarah smiles at Riha.
"You my girl are drunk, Blue Gin takes a little getting used to and five glasses is enough for any-one. An admirer back home you say, gifting you with roses. I almost envy him or her (OOC: not sure what part of your post Riha is saying or thinking). Aah what if for one evening you were gifted with love?"
She leans closer to Riha, and breathes in the scent of her.
"You need to sleep, let us get you to a bedroom and get you comfortable."
She begins to walk Riha to the stairs.

Once Omar had explained the patches the listening soldiers begin to bid on them. Opium, Alcohol & Money are offered. Militaria Collectors will pay good money for hard to get items, the bidding might go high. of course Omar can happily state a sale price.
One of the soldiers states:
"Most impressive sir, the first four campaigns we are vaguely aware of, but Peshmerga is a new one on us, care to elaborate?"

Kaharii & Sharifa will get more beers & treats as they tour the grounds of the palace. He may also get a proposition or two from the ladies there.

Nova Capile

"Nice shot Walter" she states. "That would be one crippled opponent, to one deaf opponent. A point to you I think."
She aims, fires and smashes a shot into the cheek of the rabbit.
"Bugger, never can get a good headshot."
She picks up her beer & sips as she awaits his next shot

The woman on the bed moves in her sleep spreading out into the vacated space. Her clothing (such as it is) moves with her exposing a good deal of her creamy white thigh, her large breasts sink into the mattress.

Taigawa

The blonde girl sits & pours herself a glass of champagne.
"I am most gratified that you are enjoying our hospitality, and yes the kitchens do good food. You really ought to request the chocolate cheesecake it is a delight to the tastebuds."
She holds out her hand to be shaken.
"I must apologise, for that army officer, father has always said that the army is a place to find thoroughgoing bastards or magnificent heroes. Personally i think it is merely human nature to be either good or bad as the mood takes you. Oh yes I should introduce myself I am Princess Velma, a communications officer in the Submarine service. It is not as high a posting as my sisters but a position I enjoy none the less, being thefirst royal to serve in this branch of the service
And you are the first non-terrestrial visitor we have ever had visit, so two firsts sitting together. I understand you have inducted my sister into your crew, excellent it will be good for her."
She signals a waiter.
"Would you be a darling and bring two cheesecakes, chocolate for preference?"

[Greater Orensta]

"That would be so much better... madam..." she said, wrapping her arms around Sarah to support herself as they walked up the stairs to the bedroom
Khema explained "In the Kurdish language, Peshmerga means those who faces death, it's a military campaign liberating Jordan of their leaders"

[Dalviric UIA]

(OOC: This place still open? If it is, I'd rather enter and have it make sense.)
(OOC: I.E, everyone seems to be inside and we enter outside)

"Can you drink yourself sober?"

I apologize for the delayed post, brah.

He adjusts his uniform collar, a light blush forming on Manfred's cheeks. "This is....not so modest." He said, slowly sitting on the wooden bench. His eyes scanning the garden for threats and assassins. "So....b-before we do this, I must ask....what's your last name?"

"Y-You could stay in my family's royal estates, or even the castles." He said, looking at her slowly. "You have...very beautiful eyelashes."

Ludwig chuckled with the men. "Would I? Most likely. Gotta get myself laid." He looked over the men. "I've tried, usually you wake up in an alley with your hands cuffed." He said with a wide smile, occassionally looking at the Captain and winking.

"That officer annoyed me. I am glad I did'nt need to get physical in order for the guy to leave me alone. I could have easily done perminant damage as well, though I prefer not to fight if I do not need to. Your sister wanted to see the stars. My flagship can go places so far away, those stars will change. If all the way to Thessia, an entire galaxy will be laid out to see, up close and brillant in it's beauty. I am not one to deny such an entrancing sight to anyone, and if the paperwork checks out, she will see the megacities of our homeworld."

"As Officers you may either take rooms within the Palace or in the barracks as you choose, if you let me know i will ensure the rooms are prepared so you clean & freshen up before joining the party."

Asmodel stared out the window as he saw the scenery of the city. Most of the sites gave him a cringe like feeling. Really the only sites that he didn't have a problem with was the teens trying to out fashion each other, and the ice cream shops. Still the other things in this city were not to his appeal but, he then felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around to see his sister smiling at him. Asmodel simply returned the smile as he thought 'hey maybe this isn't all that bad'. When they arrived at their destination Asmodel turned to speak to the captain "well, I think my sister and I will be staying within the palace"

[Dark Victoriana]

Greater Orensta

Sarah guides Riha up the stairs and into one of the guest rooms. Laying her on one of the large four poster beds she turns down the sheets,and begins to undress Riha, carefully folding her uniform and placing it in the footlocker. When she gets to her undergarments she removes them carefully , smelling and handling each piece before folding it up and putting it into the locker. When Riha is laying naked on the bed, Princess Sarah breathes heavily studying every inch of her body before sighing deeply and covering her with the blankets.
"Goodnight sweet Riha, sleep well."

Svebia

Charlotte raches over and places her hand on Manfreds cheek.
"You blush so prettily. What is modesty to lovers? When passion rages one must weather the storm or be consumed."
She kisses him gently, her tongue brushing his lips lightly.
"My name? Is Charlotte Poena which is latin for 'retribution'. You study the bushes is this fear of embarressment or violence? Calm, yourself this is the palace none enter or leave without the father & mother knowing.However if you wish a more mprivate place we can retire to your room.."
She kisses him him deeper, her hands on both his cheeks.

Princess Matilda give a squeel of excitement, throws her arms around Prince Moykanko and kisses him on the lips.
"Oh you wonderful man. I love castles, their style & architecture are a continual amazement to me."
She takes his arm.
"Will you walk in the garden with me?"

Captain Brooks stands.
"Enough banter boys, me & MR Ludwig here have business to attend to. First 'll see his rooms and then when one appetite has been fed, we will dine."
She holds out her hand.
"Come Sir let us see if your boasts match your abilities.

Taigawa

"If you had hurt him no one would have minded, we believe in all actions having repercussions, and his would have been pain. I think that all people except the psychotic avoid fighting if they can. after all if society is guided by morality then what does war say for societies morality?"
She refills her glass.
"So do you believe that space is merely a larger ocean, with planets, islands within the greatest sea as our philosophers state, or are you more scientific in your ideas?"

Thaitum

"Of course"
White jacketed servants carry their cases and a gaggle of maids prepare their rooms. The Palace itself is an ugly lump, of a monstrosity but inside it is luxury.
The bedrooms are large, bathrooms attached. Large four poster beds, deep wool carpets and a bell pull by the bed to summon a servant. A tray with snacks and a half bottle of wine is provided.
The Captain bows.
"When you are refreshed & ready someone will escort you to the party. As Officers (do they any rank identification visible?) you are permitted to carry weapons if you choose to. I trust we will meet later."

"So do you believe that space is merely a larger ocean, with planets, islands within the greatest sea as our philosophers state, or are you more scientific in your ideas?"

"Only those who truly deserve pain shall get it. Those who continue beligerance after the consequences have been warned of suffer that which they have been warned about. Space is but the mechanism of Living Time. All life and the events that transpire all serve to drive the joy and harmony of the cosmos. Everything that will happen is a product of this balance, maintained by those who uphold The Mantle. Everything that has and ever will exist will be judged at the end of Living Time."

[Dark Victoriana]

Taigawa

"Ooh deep philosophy indeed. Indeed time must be living, as only the living keep time, and so all living things power time, and I would guess the Mantle would be a reference known to your people."
Pain is a part of life, and belligerence can often be the start of wars."

"The Mantle is our duty as a Tier 1 Civilization to protect the biodiversity of life in our galaxy. Only biodiversity can preserve the balance of Living Time. It is a cornerstone of our civilization, and is cited when the Ecumene is at war. Beligerance in an extreme can lead to worse then war with us. If a civilization commits a crime against The Mantle, it's de-evolution to Tier 7 becomes a real possibility."

[Floofviet Jeremavakia]

The FJN Franciscov arrives at the Victoriana harbor. 12 Officers step off. 2 of each from the: Air Force, Navy, Army, Marine Corps, Grey Guards, and along with 4 other officers of various specialties. Many of them were anxious to meet other officers as well. The Jeremavakian Army officer, Lt. Gen. Ronaldo Legaspi, and the Grey Guard general, Lt. General Elena Iakovna led the way as the other officers followed to greet who ever was there to greet them as Naval guards formed a perimeter as the rest of the sailors go to their formal stations. The ship is about to dock, it flies the colors of the Armed Republic of Floofviet Jeremavakia proudly.

[Greater Orensta]

"Spas dikim Princess , ji bo mêvanperweriyê û bedewiya te" Riha smiled as she went to sleep

Omar asked the guard about any patches and wars that dark victoriana had fought over the years, he had never learned the history of the nation and was actually interested

Kaharii explained to the guards that he had lost his sight during the liberation of Jordan by Greater Orensta in 1995.

[The Grand Duchy Of Nova Capile]

Walther smiled as Margaret congratulated him and he won a point. He watched her line up her shot and hit the rabbit through the cheek, whistling softly in recognition of her better than average hit. He again aimed with his Glock and fired; the bullet flew straight under the rabbit, barely clipping its stomach and landing somewhere in the grass. "Well, there's one to you," Nemetz said, turning around and choosing not to partake of any more alcohol; usually he declined to take any of the stuff, so for tonight a glass of champagne was enough.

Oskar looked at his feet and shifted uncomfortably as the woman spread out in his bed, exposing herself. He made a small cough, hoping that would wake her. When that proved fruitless, he reached over and turned on the bright lamp, which would surely stir her from her slumber.

(OOC) Yeah Asmodel and Cillith are actually of noble birth and are part of knightly orders (so yeah they are technically knights). They are both ranked as Counts but the only thing they have for ranks are white elegant 18th century military uniforms and a crap ton of medals... and super cool Epaulettes.

(IC) Asmodel looks around his bedroom for a while. He eyed the wine for some time wondering what the liquor of these foreigners must taste like, he always did like luxurious drinks but, he had no time for that now rather he he needed to freshen up. "We'll just go ahead and take a quick shower (individually of course) before we head out."

[Dalviric UIA]

A Dalviric military Falcon dropship descended on the harbor. It had a sleek, silver look and blood red engines and lights. It did not land, no, but instead hovered above the ground. Two, heavily armored soldiers - Seraphim - cautiously jumped out and checked for threats before standing at attention and allowing an entity clad in similar, but more ceremonial, armor walk out. He had no helmet on, however. Markings on the Seraphim would show that they were of an administrative as well a combat-oriented position, while the regal armor of the other entity showed that he was an officer.
