Yafran 2016 [IESP RP IC]

[Armeia]

"Sure," said Tori, reluctantly. She didn't really have a fear of heights, but being this high up as kind of dizzying. Anja, though, didn't even reply. Her eyes widened and her heart rate sped up, and memories began flooding back. She remembered the snowy day when she came home from school, when she found her whole family gathered in the living room speaking in hushed voices about something. She remembered wondering what was going on, and how the adults wouldn't tell her anything. And then she remembered hearing the news that her father had been killed by the KLA in the Kosovo War.

Tori saw that her sister was having a flashback, and touched her shoulder. "It's going to be okay," she told her in German, and Anja nodded.

"I, um, need a moment," she managed to say to Emily.

Emily
Out of respect, Emily chose not to ask any questions. "Of course", she replied sympathetically realising something was up and then strolled back over to the window to look out at the view over the the sea and the many islands of skyscrapers that made up Central Yafran.

Tori was sort of embarrassed to be with Anja when she was having a panic attack/flashback, so she followed Emily. "This city is amazing," she said in a thick German accent, staring at the skyscrapers.

Anja leaned against a wall and sat down, trying to remind herself where she was. It's just a flashback, it's not real, she told herself, letting her dreads fall in front of her face. She really hated for others to see her this weak.

Salman nodded, proceeding to continue swimming laps - he stopped for a bit. "So, Zdenko, tell me about yourself."
OOC: Going to go off for the time being; Kwa, where do you live? o.o Really, coz you are almost the same times as me..

Zdenko
"Well as you know I'm from Kosya. I speak three languages, they are Kosyan which is my active language and Russian and English. My home city is Zubrywisz which is really beautiful located in the mountains surrounded by steep slopes, caverns and deep forests. It's a popular skiing destination in the winter and good for hiking, white water rafting, mountain climbing and other outdoor activities in the summer. I come from what you could call a typical Kosyan family", Zdenko began deciding not to go into too much detail about his family.
"As far as my interests go, I really enjoy reading, writing and learning languages. Then for sport I like skiing and snowboarding. Oh and I love experiencing new cultures and travelling. KwaDai was a really great place to go, because I had been studying Islamic art and culture for a while before coming here", he finished off.

OOC: I live in Ireland

"So you don't like Soccer? Eh..." Salman laughed.

Emily
"Yes it really is...and most of it wasn't here twelve years ago. See all of these islands with the skyscrapers and pavilions on them? Twelve years ago they were just sandy pieces of land off the coast. The city centre was originally meant to be on the mainland but the city developers decided to turn the those islands into it instead", Emily replied.

"So you don't like Soccer? Eh..." Salman laughed.

Zdenko
Zdenko shook his head chuckling a little. "No it's never really grabbed my interest...what about you? Tell me about you now!", he insisted.

[Flardania]

Zuzanna
Zuzanna smiled cheerfully standing up and paying the waitress for her drink waiting for Keitaro to do the same. "I'm ready now", she replied while gently brushing a strand of her blonde hair out of her face.

Keitaro
Keitaro payed as well and got up remembering Zuzanna had the map. "Um is the mall around here?" Keitaro asked curiously.

[CoraSpia]

"We think more about strength and intelligence," Deimmar laughed, running in through the school gates.

"If you want strength you've got to go to my cousin or her sister. Heh, you'd like her sister actually, she's almost seven feet and she's a basketball player," Jess said. "The only thing is she doesn't speak English or your language."

"How the fuck could you get through life not speaking my language?" Deimmar asked. "It's like...essential, it's spoken all around the world! Far nicer than English."

"Well, its rather lucky a life. I was born into a political dynasty... my current cousin is President. Honestly, life isn't really fancy, no one gives a damn hell in Huda who you are... but eh. My cousin really brought on politics early on - I'm fascinated by it, really. How one rules the nation... I guess. Of course, my grandpa was President when I was born and for the rest of the time my family took a break from politics... but my cousin picked up the crown from the dust."

I continued, sipping a bit of the drink. "I like soccer, a lot, games, politics, the usual, you know? I also love traveling, a lot. I live in Husseinabad, Huda. What more'd you like to know?"

Jess tsked. "Western pride... Some Western Armeians only speak German and Swedish as a nationalistic thing. As for me, I already speak English, Swedish, German, French, and Norwegian, I don't need to learn another language.

Zuzanna
"Right there!", Zuzanna replied pointing to the building that dominated one side of the plaza.

"I love Huda... really. It's got that South Asian mix: with really modern elements. It does get warm but its usually cool and the beach is huge! Blue water and delightfully blue water: fun part is the huge waves! I remember the coast guard had to bring me in when I was rather young."

Zdenko
"Sounds like a nice tropical paradise. The opposite of my country, Kosya is really cold from October to March. We do get dry warm summers though", Zdenko responded. "Anyway you seem to enjoy swimming?".

[Flardania]

Zuzanna
"Right there!", Zuzanna replied pointing to the building that dominated one side of the plaza.

Keitaro
Keitaro faced palmed for a bit. "Of course the mall is right over there" he said with a laugh as the two walked the short distance across the plaza to the mall

Salman eagerly nodded. "But I don't want to catch a cold on my first day! I'm getting off." Salman chuckled, walking back to the changing room.

Tori was sort of embarrassed to be with Anja when she was having a panic attack/flashback, so she followed Emily. "This city is amazing," she said in a thick German accent, staring at the skyscrapers.

Anja leaned against a wall and sat down, trying to remind herself where she was. It's just a flashback, it's not real, she told herself, letting her dreads fall in front of her face. She really hated for others to see her this weak.

"Yes it really is...and most of it wasn't here twelve years ago. See all of these islands with the skyscrapers and pavilions on them? Twelve years ago they were just sandy pieces of land off the coast. The city centre was originally meant to be on the mainland but the city developers decided to turn the those islands into it instead", Emily replied.

"How did it... Grow so fast?" asked Tori, amazed that in twelve years this area had grown so much. "In Cora City, things grow slower... Eleven years, still no repairs some places," she said, referring to how some areas were still damaged from the civil war.

Anja finally recovered from her... episode, and she silently walked to where Tori and Emily were. This is literally the worst possible week for me to start remembering this stuff, she thought.

[CoraSpia]

"How the fuck could you get through life not speaking my language?" Deimmar asked. "It's like...essential, it's spoken all around the world! Far nicer than English."

Jess tsked. "Western pride... Some Western Armeians only speak German and Swedish as a nationalistic thing. As for me, I already speak English, Swedish, German, French, and Norwegian, I don't need to learn another language.

"How the hell have you managed that one?" Deimmar asked, impressed. "I speak English, Velsturman, Vakolicci and French."

[Armeia]

Jess tsked. "Western pride... Some Western Armeians only speak German and Swedish as a nationalistic thing. As for me, I already speak English, Swedish, German, French, and Norwegian, I don't need to learn another language.

"How the hell have you managed that one?" Deimmar asked, impressed. "I speak English, Velsturman, Vakolicci and French."

Jess shrugged, she didn't really think it was that impressive because everyone in her family spoke a bunch of languages. "Well my family is full of politicians so we have to know Swedish and English to negotiate with others from the South, and Anja teached German to me so I could talk to her friends... French is the regional language of the South and I kind of had to learn Norwegian when I joined a hockey team full of Norwegian players."

[CoraSpia]

"Can't you all just learn one common language and talk in that?" Deimmar asked as if it was obvious, walking towards his room. "Then you wouldn't need to know each others languages...it'd save everyone a whole lot of time."

[Armeia]

"Can't you all just learn one common language and talk in that?" Deimmar asked as if it was obvious, walking towards his room. "Then you wouldn't need to know each others languages...it'd save everyone a whole lot of time."

Jess nearly laughed. "We tried that in the nineties... The result? The Francophones declared an open revolt, the Germans tried to go back to Germany, and the Japanese almost declared independence... We said nope and abandoned that plan after two weeks."

Emily
"We have a huge and able bodied workforce", Emily replied. "Plus we need somewhere to build all our homes with a population that seems to be expanding as quickly as ours and besides its nice to live above the city", she added. "All of our cities are like that though".

Zuzanna
"Right there!", Zuzanna replied pointing to the building that dominated one side of the plaza.

Keitaro
Keitaro faced palmed for a bit. "Of course the mall is right over there" he said with a laugh as the two walked the short distance across the plaza to the mall

Zuzanna
"So have you got anything you need to get?", Zuzanna asked Keitaro as the two arrived at the mall's entrance, where a large map of the mall stood showing all six floors and where all 2500 shops were located.

Zdenko
"Sounds like a nice tropical paradise. The opposite of my country, Kosya is really cold from October to March. We do get dry warm summers though", Zdenko responded. "Anyway you seem to enjoy swimming?".

Salman eagerly nodded. "But I don't want to catch a cold on my first day! I'm getting off." Salman chuckled, walking back to the changing room.

Zdenko
"Is there anything else you'd like to do just now?", Zdenko called out while Salman was changing in the designated area.

[CoraSpia]

"Can't you all just learn one common language and talk in that?" Deimmar asked as if it was obvious, walking towards his room. "Then you wouldn't need to know each others languages...it'd save everyone a whole lot of time."

"And that's why you then send in mercenaries to keep the peace," Deimmar said, closing his door behind him.

As soon as they were in private, the Velsturman pushed Jess roughly down on the bed and grabbed her shoulders, preventing her movement. He was breathing heavily and his eyes had a strange, crazed look in them.

"Alright then", Zdenko replied before heading over to a free changing cubicle. He changed back into his dry maroon coloured shorts and his white polo shirt.

As soon as they were in private, the Velsturman pushed Jess roughly down on the bed and grabbed her shoulders, preventing her movement. He was breathing heavily and his eyes had a strange, crazed look in them.

"Hey, I want to be on top," complained Jess, wiggling against him. "Why.... Are you acting differently?"

[Armeia]

"How did it... Grow so fast?" asked Tori, amazed that in twelve years this area had grown so much. "In Cora City, things grow slower... Eleven years, still no repairs some places," she said, referring to how some areas were still damaged from the civil war.

"Where are these workers from?" asked Tori. "Here? How can such a large part of your population be into construction?"
