Kiana and Caja. O'Malley's.
It might surprise Tim, but both Selkie were grinning.
"Nonsense!", Caja said with a dismissive hand gesture, "If we wanted to be in a morgue, we would be in a morgue!" She looked into the room. "This is... life. And life is beautiful!"
"Speaking of, mind if I have a look around? Greet the boys?", Kiana asked with a smile, getting up, "Be back in a minute."
"Sure, have fun.", Caja said with a grin, turning to Tim, "So, special forces deployments for a year. I must say, that sounds mighty impressive. Reminds me a lot of the Great Woods Rangers. They have... quite a reputation as well."

Secret Service SUV - Nick Warszinski / Penny's residence - Penny and Evan Snyder
"I will arrange collection of the vehicle, thank you"

Arriving at the official residence of the Ambassador Nick turns to the secret service staff, "Thank you" he says, getting out of the car once it had been safely parked and the agents were happy that it was indeed safe to exit, where upon he picks up the pet carrier and his case before making his way to the front doors to unlock them and make his way in to the official entrance, the one where guests will be welcomed, revealing a long corridor with doors off to each side and a large double door in front and soon after he is returning to the SUV to pick up his luggage that is in the trunk of the SUV, placing the bags onto a small trolley that was placed in the hall way.

Nick casts his eyes over the decor and makes his way through to the double doors to reveal a grand staircase not too dissimilar from the one aboard the RMS Titanic.

Picking up the phone, Nick calls Penny.
"Phenom, my car has arrived, can you make your way to the embassy at some stage please to recieve documentation you will need to pick it up this afternoon please"

"Sure, we're just unloading the stuff for our house, give me an hour or so and we'll be coming over"

"Thanks, oh Prime minister Gordon is coming tomorrow too" he says, unlocking the pet carrier to let the cat out of the bag, (litterally).

"Great" replies penny, turning to Evan. "once the teamsters are done, its back to the docks again after popping over to the Embassy", Penny's attention turns back to the phone call "What time he due?"

"Early morning, he's cutting the ribbon so there's probably going to be press and all sorts around. Oh when you get to the docks, can you speak to Sally"

"oh great, not her? oh lord, forgive me for my sins" jokes Penny, "See you shortly dad" Penny hangs up the call before turning to Evan "babe, can you wind the legs down, and pop the coupling, we gotta head to the Embassy then the docks again"

Nick then rings the docks again and calls Sally again, leaving a message on her voice mail, "Ambassador Warszinski here, I have sent a driver to pick up the official car for my embassy"
hopefully the dragon won't be quite so hostile as its later in the day

O'Malley's

Tim was surprised by the relaxed nature of the girls. Foreigners are usually a bit.. shocked when they observe Docks Culture for the first time. Docks culture is a lot more.. rowdy then in the rest of the more.. "civilised" boroughs.

Tim replied to Caja "Must admit that Iv'e never heard of 'em.. but then again I dont move in military circles. That I leave for 'em O'Malley boys"

The special forces operators were pleasantly surprised with meeting a beautifull foreigner in their local waterhole. They've bin gone for a year- and its clear to them all now - they have missed home...

Penny and Evan - Penny's residence

Once the teamsters had unloaded everything and had been duly paid their sum, Penny and Evan climbed back into the truck again to make the short hop to the Orcadian Embassy and the ambassador's residence with Penny at the wheel, a video camera is running as they head down the road, Penny giving a short commentary on the clips as she makes a simple video diary. With no trailer on the back, the little tractor unit certainly gets a shift on and at traffic lights and if the traffic can permit it, Penny will sometimes give a liberal ammount of right foot, not enough to make the tyres spin but enough to make the twin wide bore upright exhausts bark, this bark instantly going to a chirp as the truck momentarily goes across neutral and the turbo waste gate opens.

At the Ambassadors residence
The security guards are probably still there when Penny rolls up and parks in the yard, climbing down before she makes her way over to the front door. Penny swipes her id card and taps the keypad, moments later the door opens and Penny walks inside past some of the cleaning staff who are preparing the buiding for a VIP visit.

"Where's Nick?" she asks one of them who just points,
"down there"

Penny is also followed by Evan, "This way Evan, I think he's through there" says Penny as she walks towards the entranceway to the grand staircase, opening the door and over to the stairs, passing an acknowlegment to the cat who had found comfort sitting on the steps
"ello Wallace".

Wallace, hearing his name and recognising Penny's voice gets up and follows Penny up the stairs as she makes her way to her father who is up on the gallery level, Nick turns around "heya sweetheart" he says, giving Penny a fatherly hug.
"can you do me a favour and pick this up please" he says, handing Penny some documents.

"sure" she replies as Nick turns to Evan

"heya son" yes despite being a son in law, Nick treats Evan like he is very much his own son.

"Good morning Sir" replies Evan,

For about 10 minutes, Evan and Nick turn to the subject of fishing a whilst Penny goes through the documents but soon both Penny and Evan are heading back down to the port of entry for a couple of important meetings - the collection of their container frame, arrangement of parking and to pick up a diplomatic vehicle as well as a a trip to the local immigration office to get their visa extended, oh Sally is also due to get another visit off Penny! oh joy of joys

Caja. O'Malley's, with Tim.
"Oh, the Rangers don't really make a name for themselves abroad as of late, so don't worry.", Caja said with a small wave of her hand, "I only know them because they are, well, the SDF's Special Forces... and because a friend of mine wanted to join them. A military otaku as you imagine them!"
She grinned.
"But fun aside, how popular is the military here in Port Ember?", she asked.

Kiana. O'Malley's, with the soldier boys.
Kiana had approached the soldier boy's successfully, maybe with a bit more swing of her hips then necessary. She saw in their eyes, that they had missed home, missed the local waterhole and their home... and missed female company.
The last was more a not-so-wild-wild guess.
She bowed her head slightly in greeting. "Hello, boys. I'm Kiana.", she said and smiled a radiant smile, which let her eyes sparkle.

by **Port Ember** » Sat Feb 16, 2019 8:06 am

O'Malley's

Tim enjoyed Caja's company. She was smart and adventurous. He liked that.

"Honestly - as ye can see.." he pointed to the joyfull chaos around them "The nation reveres them. Especially our navy. Its basically the pride of our nation. Ya know we are a nation build from pirates in the 1600 - 1800's yeah? The conquering of the oceans is what defines us. Ti's where we get our stuborness, preserverance.. and money from." Broad smile "So we are proud of our lads who is willing to continue the down the psth of the warrior. And offcourse the fact that our Task Force lads are some of the best in the world - doea not hurt our pride either."

As Kiana approached the operators and greeted them, all eyes - and attention was on her. As the boys started greeting her, they basically shoved each other out of the way to gain centre stage. This led to a friendly wrestling match between three of them, headlocks and curses abound. This freed the brothers and allowed them a chance to speak to the new arrival.

"Good day Mi' lady!" One brother gently took Kiana's hand in his and gave it a soft gentlemanlike kiss. He let go immediately. "I'd be James, ti's my little brother Kyle. Those clowns there is Marco, Kenny and Shaun." You could hear a faint "Hi!" coming from the wrestling lads. "And thats our Pops Georgie" -pointed to the old man who was by now back at the bar, serving glass after glass of beer. "If ye dont mind me askin lassie, whats a fine foreign lass like yerself doing in a shaithole like this?"

by **The Selkie** » Sat Feb 16, 2019 3:30 pm

Caja. O'Malley's, with Tim.
Caja nodded at the explanation.
"Makes sense.", she said with a small smile, "The SDF, our armed forces, are liked. They won't get ticker paper parades, but no one will spit on them either. Occasionally, someone gives a round for all soldiers in a pub, but that's not often." Her smiled widened. "For, you see, while we do have a tradition as warriors, we Selkie define ourselves as People of Song and Dance, not People of War. Add in, that our best warriors, the Marcach, are nowadays sportspeople, their practices turned into sports, and you have... well, us. And our opinion of the SDF."

Kiana. O'Malley's, with the soldier boys.
Kiana smiled at the way James, she would bet that he was the older brother, greeted her - one did not see that too often these days, which was, if he was honest, an utter shame.
The three men scuffling in the corner drew her attention for a moment, but boys be boys. She waved at them and gave them a "Hi." back.
When James asked her why she was here, she had three options: Truth, half-truth and lie.
She chose the half-truth: "A certain sense of adventure and wonder, curiosity has also played a part." She let a beat pass. "Plus, it looked nice from the outside."

O'Malley's Tavern - Caja & Tim

Tim was as excited as a kid in a candy store - he lived for new interesting stories. Who knows maybe one day he would be able to become a great author. He certainly had enough material from his job as a taxi driver..

"Thats interesting! A people dedicated to the arts! Ye must definitely make a turn in the Greenfields Borough then before ye leave. Its a whole darn borough build with art and culture as its foundation. A hundred thousand plus people who makes art and culture their daily living. Bet ya'l love it! But that's real culture as some may call it. Not the chaos ye see here today."

O'Malley's Tavern - Kiana, with the soldier boys.

The music switched to joyfull Folk Rock music blaring from the speakers.

Kyle shoved his older brother in a joking manner and walked passed Kiana towards the bar to speak to his father. He had an enormous smile on his face.

James continued speaking to Kiana "Your darn right it looks good from the outside! I painted it meself a year ago!" He let out a deep laugh. One could see Kyle flash his brother a middle finger gesture from over at the bar- indicating James was probally lying. "Well lassie welcome to the greatest place in the world - if its excitement and adventure yer looking for! No one can throw a party like me pops!"

A sudden loud shout towered above the tavern noise eminating from Kyle at the bar. The tavern immediately went silent - The scuffling operators also stopped momentarily. "Ya wont believe this shait!?" Kyle shouted at James. James did not awnser but stared at Kyle curiously.

Kyle and Georgie started passing around full bottles of expensive looking rum to the patrons very rapidly - still in silence (Kiana and Caja also each was handed a bottle). Once most patrons had a bottle in hand - looking curiously at Kyle, he started speaking "Oi! Brother! Youz and mez.. Were bloody uncles!! Lil sis became a mum!!"

James went beserk with joy.. and suddenly threw his bottle rum against the wall, shuttering the bottle and its contents, shouting loudly " "Hail Wuakeen - to the arse with misfortune!" the tavern patrons followed suit - glass and rum was flying everywhere.

Penny and Evan, a couple of hours later, back at the port of entry!

To get from the Embassy to the port of entry where Penny was to pick up the embassy car after Nick Warszinski had arranged it to be picked up only took a couple of hours, Penny driving down so Evan can drive back, however before they went to visit the blue-rince battle axe Penny and Evan parked up outside the port office to see what the situation was with regards to work.

Evan pushed the door open and held it open for Penny before making his way over to the counter where he then had the cheek to lean casually on it as he glanced over to the staff in the office. "Morning Y'all" he calls out,

He then waits politely for someone to come over to him, where he then introduces himself and Penny,
"Good morning, I would like to introduce myself, I am Evan Snyder and this is my wife Phenom Snyder, Penny for short. I hear you are after staff and we work as a driver team, we come with our own equipment too" Penny pulls out a card holder from her pocket revealing a photo driving licence for a large commercial truck but also a container picker handling certificate and a fork lift licence too, Evan reveals a licence that gives him the legal ability to drive the same class of semi truck as Penny however he doesn't hold the fork lift licence. Penny also has a DIPLOMATIC passport too, as well as a regular passport, but as her father is about to become the ambassador to Port Ember it probably doesn't take too much brain power to work out which passport she has travelled under.

"By the way we're expecting a container trailer to be delivered too" points out Penny. "I wander if it has arrived yet, its a red one that has a telescopic chassis so we can shorten it for twenty foot cans or extend it out for forty foot ones"

Port Ember Docks - Harbormaster Office

Peter, a man in his late thirties with neat blonde hair, working as the assistant harbormaster at the Port Ember Docks, assisted two new arrivals, who identified themselves as Mr and Mrs Snyder, looking for work. After listening to what they were looking for, and checking their applicable licenses, he went to the back office and returned seconds later with 03 brown plastic files. He handed them the files. "Allright I have these vacant jobs available for you. Pick one and let met know.. take your time."

Peter tapped on this file with his fingers, almost violently "This is the gold card.. trust me"

Peter quickly typed on the nearby computer - "yup your trailer is here. You can pick it up after signing at the vehicle inspection office. Speak to a lass named Sally.."

Caja. O'Malley's, with Tim.
She smiled.
"We'll definately give it a look, but..." She leaned forward a bit. "...what makes you think, that the culture there is more or less 'real' then the culture practiced here or in Oilean na mBeo? If you ask me, all three are culture, real and honest to the Gods. A hearty celebration with rum and singing is just as much culture as a ball right out of Diplomatic Balls 1-0-1... just not as boring, believe me."
She grinned at that and wanted to continue, when someone shoved a bottle of rum into her hands...

Kiana. O'Malley's, with the soldier boys.
Kiana still had no idea, that Kyle was the older, not James, but she grinned, wanting to express, how much she looked forward to it, when James shouted from the bar and someone shoved a bottle in her hand.
Then James explained, that their little sister had a baby and that they were uncles and Kiana wanted to congratulate, taking in air, when James threw his bottle against the nearest wall, shouting: "Hail Wuakeen - to the arse with misfortune!"
And then, all hell broke loose, bottles and rum and shards of glass flying everywhere.
Kiana tried to keep her head low, but in one case, that nearly didn't work out.
When all was thrown, she looked at Kyle and asked a bit sheepish: "So... please forgive my ignorance, but this is a common way to praise Wuakeen in case of good fortune befalling someone?"

O'Malley's Tavern - Caja & Tim

Tim laughed as he followed suite and thre his bottle against the wall amd shouted the common mantra. He turned to Caja, with a look of slight concern "Lassie, I appreciate you enjoying our docks culture, yer underdstanding and acceptance is awesome - but please tell me at any time when its getin' outa hand.. I'll take ye away immediately. Promise."

O'Malley's Tavern - Kiana & Soldier Boys

Kyle, the younger brother, ran back to the bar to assist Georgie with pouring free beer for all the patrons. James, sti radiating with joy awnsered Kiana's question "Aye its a religious practice when something bloody marvelous happened with a person - showing that Waukeen has chosen you to bless with good fortune or wealth. An expensive item is broken in offering to Waukeen, to pay thanks and to keep future misfortune away.." James laughed "however them priests say we are just crazy.. apparently its not a recognised ritual. Apparantly we only do it cuz were savages..But to the arse with em shiny priests!"

Jame's face light up like a lightbulb - as if a good idea just jumped into his head. "Lassie now be the time to celebrate! Me and me lil brother Kyle just returned from a year away from this crazy bastards - and ima be an uncle.." James held his hand out to Kiana - "Lassie - dance with me!"

by **The Selkie** » Sun Feb 17, 2019 9:50 am

Caja. O'Malley's, with Tim.
Caja smiled.
"Thank you, but don't worry!", she told Tim, looking into the round, "You'll have to get a lot rougher then that before I object." She grinned, leaning back. "It actually reminds me a lot of home... well, except for the flying rum bottles, but all the better for the glass industry, right?"
She grinned at the last, hopefully making it clear, that she meant it as a joke.

Kiana. O'Malley's, with the soldier boys.
Kiana listened to the explanation and nodded, putting the bottle onto a table somewhere in the middle (she was not a follower of Waukeen, after all), and laughed in the end.
Indeed, screw the Priests!
Even if she once contemplated becoming a laywoman...
When Kyle offered his hand for a dance, Kiana thought for a moment, then took it.
"Lead the way, good Sir!", she told him, grinning. "The day is good, so why not celebrate!"

by **Port Ember** » Sun Feb 17, 2019 1:41 pm

O'Malley's Tavern - Caja & Tim

Tim laughed. "Aye, indeed its good for inudustry! And no worries" noticing that she seemed concerned with her joke "- we are near impossible to offend - and always appreciate good humor. Anyways you Selkie seems like a fine lot! I'd love to see it one day myself - thats if everyone is as nice, fun... and beautifull as yerself.."

Kiana. O'Malley's, with the soldier boys.

James took Kiana's hand in his and bowed slightly. A fast paced folk-rock song started playing loudly over the speakers. James pulled Kiana closer into his arms. He had a very tight and strong grip - yet gentle enough not to hurt his dance partner.. he put his other hand on Kiana's hip, looked into her eyes while smiliing.. and said "lets show the world our joy lassie!"...

Penny & Evan Snyder, Port of entry
Having been given 3 folders with contacts in them, Evan smiles, "Thank you sir, We'll look over these and get back to you" he says before leaving the office to walk over to the vehicle office to see Sally, once out of the office and ear shot of anyone else he turns to Penny, "right off to the dragon's den" he quips as penny walks along side of him.

With her cybernetic legs, Penny's walk isn't quite as natural as that of Evan but it comes with the territory after being shot up and its a price worth paying compared to the other option which would have involved a wooden box with room for 1. That was almost 10 years ago but its something that Penny has gotten used to, however she does a good job at keeping up with Evan.

It takes about 10 minutes to walk over to Sally's domain where Penny then taps the window gently. "Yey'lo Sal, I got you this" she says, placing a cup of vending machine coffee on the counter, "now there are a couple of things we need, first is a red container trailer that was offloaded from a ship this morning, the second is a jag XF on diplomatic plates" she asks, handing over the release papers with her cybernetc arm as she casually leans on the counter with her natural arm, as she talks a stud in her tongue is just about visible, yet despite her unusual look, which may or may not be agreeable with Sally, Penny is at least polite and her English, though tinted with a hint of a Scotish accent, is understandable

Port Ember - Upperdeck Hotel - Kevin Lee

Once Kevin Lee finished his shower, he dressed in a sharp gray suit and slipped a TCP-9 Short pistol into his pocket before he headed to the hotel carport. As he passed the reception desk he grabbed a pamphlet of local attractions and eateries. At the carport he climbed into his Cadillac and took a moment to look over the different locations in Waterstad Borough. Flipping through it he saw the Lollipop Gentleman's Club was mentioned but figured he'd go there tomorrow when business required it. Instead he settled on going to O'Malley's Tavern. Shifting gears he tore out of the carport and onto the highway towards O'Malley's Tavern.

Upon arriving at O'Malley's Tavern, Kevin parked outside in a secluded spot and walked inside. Once inside he took a seat at the bar and ordered a pint of ale. As his order was placed, Kevin took a moment to look around at the other patrons. He noticed a fair amount of foreigners and what he assumed were locals in the pub.

Port Ember Harbor - Vehicle Inspection Office

Sally was surprised by the robot girl's kind gesture of bringing her a coffee. Coffee and rum is the official drinks of Port Ember - and is consumed almost religiously. The fact that the girl knew this - or guessed it - was impressive. Sally almost liked the girl. Almost. She had much respect for her - seeing the robot arm. The fact that life gave her a hard blow, but still living life hard and fast - was commendable. Sally did however dislike the funny hairstyle and.. jewelry - if one could call it that. A silly silly phase according to Sally. Playing with natural beauty and such. And the fact that she was a Salty did not help either.

(Salty is a native term given to all Orcadians. It stems from the era when Port Ember was a colony of Orcadia - methaphorically the Orcadians had one leg in Orcadia and another in Port Ember - having their metaphorical balls hanging in the ocean.. leading to salty balls.. Therefore the nickname..)

Sally thanked Penny for the coffee under her breath as she took the coffee, she immediately handed her two clipboards - each with a release form to be signed. One for the mentioned trailer and one for the mentioned vehicle. One could say much about Sally's rudeness - but no one on the planet could say anything bad about her work ethic. She was bloody fast and bloody good at it. She made it a point for a client not to wait for her to do her work. And she made a point of demonstrating to the world that she was better at her job than anyone else.

by **Greater Orcadia** » Sun Feb 17, 2019 4:43 pm

Sally's office, Penny & Evan
Taking the papers, Penny and Evan checked them over carefully, "looks good" comments Evan,

"yep, Evan you nip back to the cab and nip onto the yard to get it, I'll then go and get the ambassador's car then once its dropped of we'll then make a call to Godfrey's or what ever they're called, we may be able to use both trailers depending on what they have on their books" replies Penny, signing the release form before handing her pen to Evan for him to sign his form.

Penny then handed the forms back, her cybernetic arm whirring as the manipulator servos in the elbow, wrist and fingers did the job of their natural equivilents and the bits of her body that are now missing thanks to a group of hitmen who 9 years ago tried to do a dirty one on Evan.
"there ya go" she says with a smile.

"I'll be back in a few" comments Evan, heading back out to the parking area to pick up what is probably the most powerful truck in Port Ember as there are probably not many 730hp semi trucks. Penny did fancy getting a Diamond Star DS900 or Mjolnir, however they have V12's as their big bang engine, their V8s are all somewhat smaller and Penny wanted a big V8, plus the DS900 is 2,000kg heavier than the Scania thanks to its Sleeve valve engine. R730PSL however was also cheaper than the Auroran competition but just as well built.

"okay babe" replies Penny, turning to Sally. "What bay is the XF in?" she asks

Once back at the truck, Evan climbs into the cabin and is greeted by Tiswas
"meow" he calls as he sits on the engine tunnel

"hey up kitty" comments Evan, ruffling Tizzy's fur.

With the keys back in the ignition and the V8 rumbling again, Evan turns on the beacons and begins to make his way to the pick up area for trailer freight. Penny on the otherhand is waiting to get the car which is at a different area to be brought to the drop off area outside the cabin

by **Port Ember** » Sun Feb 17, 2019 9:04 pm

Port Ember Harbor

Sally took back the signed forms, gave a quick and blunt direction indication to Trailer Freight, which was luckily just around the corner from where they were. Sally informed Penny Bluntly that the car was on the way, and made a call from her office phone.

Five minutes later a neatly groomed man stopped the Diplomatic Jaguar next to Penny. The man handed Penny a clipboard with a "First Parade Form", indicating that she should do a quick inspection for any scratches and damages before signing it over.

Caja. O'Malley's, with Tim.
Caja smiled.
Truth of the matter was, Tim was a nice chap. Really, he was, adventurous and with a good head on his shoulders as well, but... if Caja was honest, he had been friendzoned the moment he had shown further interest in her.
That was not him, but her, who was not interested.
But for now, she kept on smiling - and which girl didn't like to be called beautiful?
"Oh, I'm sure, that you'll find your way there one day.", she said, "Just keep in mind, that we have far stricter traffic rules... even if they are rather new."

Kiana. O'Malley's, with the soldier boys.
The song was fast, but both James and Kiana were keeping the pace - a wild folk-dance.
Kiana was, for a moment surprised by him being so forward as to pull her close, probably closer then necessary or decent, but she liked it, a very tight and strong hand on her hip, their fingers of the other one entwined.
He led.
And he led her well.
It might have been, that she moved a smidgen closer to him during the dancing, but when they had finished, she couldn't help but grin.
"You're good at this.", she told him.
Neither of them stepped on either's feet, so there was a good start.

O'Malley's Tavern
Kevin Lee

With the joyfull chaos and mid day party raging no one truly noticed Kevin Lee entering the tavern and taking a seat at a table. With Georgie realising his mistake - he immediately send his waitress over to his table.

Claire a smallish young girl (1.5m), with long blonde hair and sparkly blue eyes, aged 20, was a very beautifull young girl. Her beautifull looks combined with her overjoyfull personality and naive nature, always turned heads.. and the passions of men where ever she went. Yet no one ever did anything more than have a good look.. locals knew she was the neice of Georgie O'Malley. And locals knew better to mess with the O'Malley clan. She was waitering at Georgie's tavern part time.

Claire quickly walked to Kevin's table with a beer and menu in hand. As she walked passed the table where Tim was seated - she gave a quick "Hiya Tim!" shout. She put the large beer glass on Kevin's table and spoke quite loudly due to the loud music playing "Hi!" Massive smile "Welcome to O'Malley's tavern stranger! Were sorry for not seein ya - heres a beer on the house to make up! and heres ya menu. Please be carefull, theres broken glass shards everywhere! Place will settle down in a bit.." She looked at her patron smiling and started walking away "just shout when ya need me darlin'!"

O'Malley's Tavern
Caja with Tim

Tim laughed when Caja told him about the traffic laws in the Free Lands, not a rude laugh, just a joyfull laugh, due to him enjoying her company so much.

"Aye! I figured as much. The entire world aint as bat crazy as us here in PE. I'd rather use a taxi when I visit the Free Lands! Taxi drivers are the best afterall" Tim threw a joking wink at Caja.

O'Malley's Tavern
Kiana with the soldier boys

James let out a joyfull laugh. (Port Emberians are very famous for laughing constantly, sometimes for no reason). Even after the wild and fast dance, James did not even break a sweat. He was afterall truly a human beast. The epitone of human fitness. All five the soldier lads to be exact.

"Yer damm right I am Lassie!" Shot Kiana a wink. "The best in the business I'd say! Yer not TOO bad yerself ya know. With some practice.. you'd get there.." shot another wink. My ma used to teach me that if ye ask a lady to dance, ya'd better buy her an beer! So in the interest to not piss of my mum.. ye can have a beer on the house lassie." Georgie shouted "Yup" from behind the bas as he started pouring a cold one. "When ye want to become a better dancer - let me know, I'll try and make time for ye!" Another playfull wink and laugh.

Evan headed around to the yard to pick up the trailer, parking up just in front of it before getting out having put on a high-viz and a hard hat. Around the trailer he walked oh so slowly, checking the paintwork and chassis for transit damage, tyres for damage and lights before coupling up, backing gently onto the pin rather than slamming it onto the pin like so many drivers do before doing a securement test which involves trying to drive away from the trailer with the trailer brakes on, satisfied that the trailer was indeed hard-coupled and not going to come adrift again he sets the park brake, before turning on the lights and getting out to couple the jump leads on as well as releasing the chassis locks to allow the trailer to extend out.

Through out this task, Tiswas watched on, his front paws on the passenger door trim, his back paws on the seat. As Evan walked across the front of the truck he ran to the other side of the cabin before going into the bed to curl up when Evan climbed back into the truck to pull the chassis boom forwards and extend the wheelbase of the trailer, again this was done gently with the pins locking in place, jerking the cab to a sudden stop.

*TSSSSSSS* go the brakes as Evan flicks on the park brake to again get out to release the brakes of the trailer reay for the drive to the trailer park the other side of the port complex whilst Penny took delivery of the diplomatic Jag, and like taking delivery of any car, Penny is careful as she goes over it, her keen eye for detail as well as a bit of OCD for things being right, every panel is photographed but satisfied that the car is in an "as-new" condition without blemishes she signs the release form then gets into the car with a smile. "Thanks guys" she says as Evan pulls up behind her.

Penny calls Evan on the car phone
"Evan, I'll follow you to the trailer park then you follow me to the Embassy where we'll park the car, although ya know what, i wander i can get away with getting through diplomatic traffic lanes" she says, letting out a chuckle.

"Hey Pen, how about no you crazy bastard" in an accent similar to dr evil from Austin Powers comes Evan's reply.

"ok, I'll keep it to the main roads then, after we should be able to pick up our other trailer and nip over to Gudfrey's then to the immigration lot to extend our visas. Did you know that the PM is coming tomorrow for the opening of the Embassy"

"so that mean press around Penn?"

"yup" Penny then slips the car into drive with her cybernetic arm and begins to follow Evan to the trailer park area, then from there its a short drive to the Orcadian Embassy, tuning the stereo to some obscure radio station, the most obscure she can find, then slotting it into EVERY CHANNEL on the radio as a prank for her father. Being a diplomatic car the right hand wing has the Orcadian flag flying proud, however unlike some diplomatic drivers, Penny keeps the car to the road rules, her father has diplomatic immunity, Penny probably does but doesn't want to find out that she may indeed NOT have diplomatic immunity as she is wearing the work wear from Meridian Cargo Services rather than official government clothing.

With all radio slots tuned to the same station, Penny smiles, "mission accomplished" she jokes

At the trailer storage yard close to the port of Entry, Evan parks the trailer up before following Penny to the Embassy which is currently relying on the secret service agents from Port Ember to provide external security and perimiter security, so when she draws up she carefully winds down the windows and hands over the documents to say who she is and what business she has at the Embassy.

"heya, i've come to deliver this for Nick Warszinski" she says in a polite tone having turned off the radio.

Evan sits in the truck outside, the big V8 idling to keep the aircon running in order to deal with the rising humidity as one thing that he has noticed since coming into Port Ember, its WARM, and he's been here less than 8 hours, Penny with 2 legs and an arm missing has less body surface area to help radiate heat away from her body and she will need to work hard to get used to the temperature.

Orcadia Embassy

Three Secret Service Agents were manning the main entrance at the Orcadia Embassy, and honestly - they were quite pissed about it. They... disliked Orcadians in general due to their history.. and now they were forced to gaurd their embassy and Ambassedor for the intrim. However, they were professionals and would not for ine second show the world their personal feelings or emotions. When the Diplomatic Jag pulled up to the gate, two agents had their hands gently on their Service Rifle's triggers. Nothing serious.. just protocol. The unarmed agent approached the vehicle and took the documents from the driver. A message came through his earpiece "yup were expecting her. She's a go." The agent greeted in a friendly manner and the gate opened.

Kevin Lee

With the joyfull chaos and mid day party raging no one truly noticed Kevin Lee entering the tavern and taking a seat at a table. With Georgie realising his mistake - he immediately send his waitress over to his table.

Claire a smallish young girl (1.5m), with long blonde hair and sparkly blue eyes, aged 20, was a very beautifull young girl. Her beautifull looks combined with her overjoyfull personality and naive nature, always turned heads.. and the passions of men where ever she went. Yet no one ever did anything more than have a good look.. locals knew she was the neice of Georgie O'Malley. And locals knew better to mess with the O'Malley clan. She was waitering at Georgie's tavern part time.

Claire quickly walked to Kevin's table with a beer and menu in hand. As she walked passed the table where Tim was seated - she gave a quick "Hiya Tim!" shout. She put the large beer glass on Kevin's table and spoke quite loudly due to the loud music playing "Hi!" Massive smile "Welcome to O'Malley's tavern stranger! Were sorry for not seein ya - heres a beer on the house to make up! and heres ya menu. Please be carefull, theres broken glass shards everywhere! Place will settle down in a bit.." She looked at her patron smiling and started walking away "just shout when ya need me darlin'!"

O'Malley's Tavern
Caja with Tim

Tim laughed when Caja told him about the traffic laws in the Free Lands, not a rude laugh, just a joyfull laugh, due to him enjoying her company so much.

"Aye! I figured as much. The entire world aint as bat crazy as us here in PE. I'd rather use a taxi when I visit the Free Lands! Taxi drivers are the best afterall" Tim threw a joking wink at Caja.

O'Malley's Tavern
Kiana with the soldier boys

James let out a joyfull laugh. (Port Emberians are very famous for laughing constantly, sometimes for no reason). Even after the wild and fast dance, James did not even break a sweat. He was afterall truly a human beast. The epitone of human fitness. All five the soldier lads to be exact.

"Yer damm right I am Lassie!" Shot Kiana a wink. "The best in the business I'd say! Yer not TOO bad yerself ya know. With some practice.. you'd get there.." shot another wink. My ma used to teach me that if ye ask a lady to dance, ya'd better buy her an beer! So in the interest to not piss of my mum.. ye can have a beer on the house lassie." Georgie shouted "Yup" from behind the bas as he started pouring a cold one. "When ye want to become a better dancer - let me know, I'll try and make time for ye!" Another playfull wink and laugh.

Both Selkie had missed the new arrival, too occupied by their conversations and dances to notice him, but from the corner of the eye, they both noticed the waitress. A cute, naive girl, by the looks of it.
Anyone hurting her would have to answer to the two Selkie and their Gods and they were usually very merciless.

Caja. O'Malley's, with Tim.
"You mean carriage driver.", Caja said with a smile, "Most of the traffic in my country is either by foot, horse, horse-drawn or railroad. Works wonderfully, although there are a few more motor vehicles every other week - mostly motorcycles, we Selkie are speed-junkies."
She grinned.
"I wouldn't say no to a G 20 either...", she said.

Kiana. O'Malley's, with the soldier boys.
Kiana considered James carefully.
Sure, he was quite fit, a very good dancer, too, and had access to free beer...
"Maybe later.", Kiana said after a moment and moved towards the bar, where her beer waited. Mounting the stool as if it was a magnificent stallion of high renown, she took her beer and raised her glass towards Georgie. "To yaer sons, Sir. May Carman Fea bless 'em!"
She took a hearty gulp at that.

O'Malley's Tavern
Caja & Tim

"Bloody hellz! An ancient world mixed in a modern world. Thats crazy! Crazy awesome I'd say. But I am being rude - yer here now.. what ye wana know bout PE lassie?"

O'Malley's Tavern
Kiana

The patrons who were seated at the bar, along with Georgie, cheered loudly to Kiana's toast - beating the counter - and taking bug gulps from their drinks. Georgie replied "Lassie - i mean absolutely no insult to ye, it seems to me that yer a lass that can take care of yerself - so please I mean no offence - just an old man trying to remember his roots and chivalry, same way i taught me boys.. But during yer stay in PE, no matter where ye end up - if anyone on tis' ere island gives ya gripe - mention to that bastards that Georgie O'Malley has accepted ye as Kin! That's my bond lassie." -another tavern round applause and swigs-
