Though it must be said my survival of the purge of the imperial bureaucracy that was ocassioned by the fall of the Khan of Samarkand and Bhukhara is as much of a surprise to me as it seems to be to you. The new order must see some usefulness in me yet."
Urgench wrote:Burutuguun's secretary brings to the table a flask of glowing electric blue Dew (with an intricately carved rock crystal tumbler to drink it from) for Arororugul. It is sweet and delicious and goes down easy, which is disconcerting for such a potent drug. As the General swallows the draft Burutuguun takes the opportunity to steer the conversation in a more useful direction "That is a most interesting observation, honoured General. The Han do have a colourful turn of phrase. That particular kind of gadaad khun can be the most frustrating to deal with. So overweening. That explains the proliferation of resolutions which seek to regulate every conceivable aspect of human life this organisation seems to have become very fond of. You ask what brings his Excellency the Khan back to the WA, if I might be so bold as to speak on his behalf I would say that it is the strong belief of the current government of the FSKU that international law should be used to promote and protect the uniqueness of the myriad forms of governance which have evolved among its member states and should not be used to harmonise them into one singular amorphous and undifferentiated mass. The noble Khan, with his extensive experience here is seen as well placed to represent the FSKU's policy in this regard. We believe your Excellency's people once shared such beliefs? Perhaps when your Excellency is feeling better you might contact your government to see if they might be interested in assisting us is promoting that agenda?"
Mongkha interrupts Burutuguun "Yes! Prince Kharonn, our esteemed Imperial Grand Chancellor, is most concerned that the modern WA seems intent on remodelling its member states along much too specific lines. He suspects that the WA has become a den of arrogant sharuud (to use his own words) and thinks it is time to establish alliances with friendly nations who share our concern for plurality and diversity. And the scourge of Ponyism remains a dire threat to all and Aundotutunagir's historic work against that threat remains an inspiration to all."
Urgench wrote:Mongkha motions to his secretary "Will you bring a robe apparopriate to the station of this hero as a humble gift of the Sublime Khanate to his Excellency. The General must be arrayed like a Baghatur."

He took a drink from his Blue Marlin, and noticed Mongkha and Hiriaurtung Arororugul in the bar. It had been awhile since he had seen the two men. He smiled and sat back at his piano and said,
"Heres a song for some old friends. This one's for you Mongkha baby!"
Philo then began playing and singing...
Well I'm the sheik of Araby

Tigrisia wrote:The newly appointed lead diplomat of Tigrisia, Ambassador Thomas Salazar, enters the bar, unsure of what to expect. He walks over to the counter and sits down, ordering a KiBa, a mixture of cherry and banana juice. The banana juice reminds him of his home country, a banana republic in the literal sense, not in the figurative sense, as Bananas are grown (nearly) everywhere.

Thomas Salazar answers: "Actually, not at all. It's actually just juice. Cherry and banana. Some prefer using cherry liquor instead of cherry juice, I drink both versions. Normally, this drink doesn't come in this weird colour, it's normally marbled. But this barkeeper has no idea of making cocktails, especially not this one. The juice has to be cooled before creating the cocktail and shouldn't be served with ice. Also, one should be extra careful when pouring in the juice, so the juices don't mix."

"Noble Khan, the Dew has invigorated me. I am reminded of my duties and must now go and attend to them. I will change into this robe....and go acquire a horse. There is much work to do!
I will return and bring you news from Golthaindroror."
The general swiftly exits the bar, moving like a man half his age.

"Oh, so there's no alcohol in it? Neville? Could I get another one of these, I'd like to try it out. Try to do it the way this gentleman says. Thank you much." She returns her attention to her fellow patron. "We have those fruits back home but I don't think I've ever heard of them being turned into a juice mixture. Seems fun. Oh, where are my manners? I'm Helen Trevanyika, acting Chief Representative on behalf of Comrade Ogenbond during his, um, preoccupation in the western provinces."
Trevanyika extends a hand heavy with metal bracelets and tacky glass rings.

Felix overhears the conversation and walks over
"They make a good Old Fashioned here, but have you tried an Old Bolshevik? It is the same cocktail, but it utilizes vodka instead of bourbon and omits the syrup and bitters.
I am Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky, WA ambassador of the Yeldan People's Democratic Republic. A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

Trevanyika extends a hand heavy with metal bracelets and tacky glass rings.
Salazar takes her hand and shakes it. "Nice to meet you, Representative Trevanyika. I am Thomas Salazar, the lead of the Tigrisian delegation. Tigrisia just recently became a member of the WA, so we were all pretty busy to see how things go and getting done all the necessary paperwork and meet and greets and whatever. Plus, our government back home has "big plans", so we have even more to do. Finally, I have some time to relax and get to know people and not their respective governments' opinion."
Neville finishes making the KiBa. It now looks much better, more marbled and less greyish. Neville hands the drink to Trevanyika. Salazar smiles. "That looks promising! It nearly looks like at home!"

Felix notices the Barfleurian ambassador and greets him
"Ah, ambassador Norfield! A pleasure to meet you in a more casual setting. Please, join us."
OOC: Felix isn't Yeldan, he's Polish, though he now works for the Yeldans. He is literally the reanimated corpse of Felix Dzerzhinsky. The Yeldans traveled back in time (because they can), dug him up, pumped him full of god only knows what chemicals, and then used super advanced spacedy technology to bring him back to life. I'd link to the thread where this is all explained but it was on the old Jolt forums.
Though technically a zombie he doesn't bite, but he might throw you out a window.

Wallenburg wrote:"Oh, would you look at that! I see what you mean, that is a clever idea." Trevanyika's eyes light up as she takes a sip. She takes a few more, then nods approvingly. "Morning me, I see the appeal! Frankly, I'm surprised that this establishment can make something like this. I must thank you for introducing me to this. It certainly should be more conducive to completing paperwork than cranberry juice or the beer selection. Even now that our delegation got our office space back, I have not quite reacquainted myself with completing my work anywhere else but here. I don't encourage the habit, paperwork has a habit of getting lost in here. Wouldn't want your delegation's plans to fall through just because there's a temptation to mix work and pleasure."
