1870-1920 Era War: A Twist (IC)

[The Traansval]

Mark Kruger: I must say they are exemplary! Your naval vessels are quite grand...

Palace Courtyard

Melissa Kruger was walking along side Nikolai, swaggering in here large dress

Melissa leaned in and whispered in Nikolai's Ear

Melissa Kruger: Lets break away from the two nannies, eh?

Melissa began to walk to the exit of the Garden, motioning for Nikolai to join

"Well yes, I'm quite proud. With the amount of metal we make on a daily basis soon there will be no war we can't win." Oswyn said while laughing.

Courtyard

Nikolai turned his view back then to his side's. He then swallowed nervously and went on to follow Melissa. "Hey wait up."

Mark Kruger: Yes, Indeed!

Courtyard

Melissa left the Garden with Nikolai in tow, the two ran for the forest.

Once they reached the forest, Melissa reached down into her skirt

and pulled out two Mauser PO-80 Pistols

Melissa Kruger: I haven't hunted since i left Pretoria, and it was a bloody two month trip! You up for some good ol' fashioned deer hunting?

[Rannoria]

Invasion of Jhonaess
The Rannoire were finding it a bit hard to take the territory. They had tactics, morale, and well-trained troops. Unfortunately for the natives, they were not as advanced the people of Bhaarland, who had a navy, gunpowder, and artillery. The tech and numbers were a humongous advantage for the Rannoire, as they pushed on into the lands. Three quarters taken.

United Destiny

The march into Wastlndun was truly hard, as this was the coldest the north could get, the area was also further from the empire, thus, through the passage of time, the Cthulhists here made some reforms that go against the original Cthulhist doctrine. Some people were still roused, and the march went on and on, eventually, they were halfway through it.

Nikolai took one of the pistols and examined it. Then he cock it.

"I'm up, the thing is, there's a not many deers here. More like moose." He said while removing his coat and cap.

[New Communist and Socialist Unions]

United Destiny

The Wastlndun march went on and on until they say Wastlndun's beautiful and serene coast, which immediately improved the morale of the men. After that, they would do a return march to consolidate the colonial gains of the NCSU. Truly a great day for the state.

Melissa Kruger: Neva seen a moose before, just read about em.

Melissa walked behind a large tree where she took off her large dress, underneath she wore a straight white shirt and khaki pants. From her knacksack she took out a leather jacket (Cowboy kind, not like the modern pure black kind) and leather chaps.

Melissa Kruger: Lets go...

Nikolai took one of the pistols and examined it. Then he cock it.

"I'm up, the thing is, there's a not many deers here. More like moose." He said while removing his coat and cap.

"Lets..." Nikolai walked right besides her.

After of silence they began talking. "So how is it over there I'm Traansval? I've heard it's warm and tropical with jungles and barren deserts.. sounds awful for us Arenginians."

"Lets..." Nikolai then followed Melissa and eventually both were walking alongside each other through the woods.

"So, how is Traansval? My father tells me its warm and tropical, with jungles, and barren deserts... sounds awful for us Arenginians."

"Why of course Mr. Amman Pasha," Simeon d'Plantanaget replied, mentally noticing that the mint tea was icy cold for some odd reason, "The Eastern Imperium is mostly defensive due to the bloatedness of the Alrusian Entente, but most of the offensives will be led by the emperor alone.", "All good things my friend," he replied to the envoy's statement, "Heck, you're a monarchy, we could have a Royal Marriage if possible and favorable.".

The Court of Jewels
The Royal Capital
Iä, Cthulhu f’tagn!

"If possible and favorable," Amman Pasha echoed, eyes smiling. "I shall forward your request to the Tasseled Throne."

The rest were courtly formalities, pianola and mint tea. In due course the tenets of that evening's agreement were set to paper by the Dowager-Sultana's scribes, and a sheaf of the thick, hand-milled paper that so distinguished all Morvernian courtly correspondence brought to d'Plantagenet's attention the following morning.

He need only set his name to it, insisted Amman Pasha, and all would be well.

Treaty of Cordiality between the NCSU and the Sultanate of al-Morvern

The articles detailed in this document concerns the sovereign nation states formally known as the "Sultanate of al-Morvern" and the "National Communist and Socialist Union", hereafter referred to by the term "Contracting Parties".

Article I
Should, contrary to their hope, and against the loyal desire of the two Contracting Parties, one of the two sovereign states be attacked by any other international entity the Contracting Parties are bound to come to the assistance one of the other with the whole war strength at their disposal, and accordingly only to conclude peace together and upon mutual agreement.

Article II
As part of this agreement, the National Union pledges to provide the services of a railroad construction company in order to assist with the development of Morvern's own rail networks, to open up further areas of the country for development. The wages received by the engineers of said company are to be decided on by the appropriate government bodies of the Contracting Parties.

Article III
The duration of this Treaty shall be fixed at five years from the day of ratification. One year before the expiration of this period the two Contracting Parties shall consult together concerning the question whether the conditions serving as the basis of the Treaty still prevail, and reach an agreement in regard to the further continuance or possible modification of certain points.

"So, how is Traansval? My father tells me its warm and tropical, with jungles, and barren deserts... sounds awful for us Arenginians."

Melissa Kruger: My home state, Guateng which is apart of The South Pacific Province, is Desert. All of the South Pacific is Desert, with the state of Egypt in the west having the only spot of green what with the Nile River. To the south, the Desert continues before to transitions to vast sprawling Savannahs with spots of Forests in Congarin. The Province of Ivorum is completely covered in Rain Forests, with trees as tall as the mast of Ships that have leaves on the top that block out the sun! There is also a huge mountain range going from the the Northern part of Ivorum to about halfway through Aegypum, its where we mine our Metals such as Iron, Gold, Silver, Copper, and Coal. The Orange Free State, another State of the South Pacific Province, has the Black Tar Oil Fields which are giant lakes of oil which we then Refine into the Petrol that powers our Cars.

Melissa stopped still in her tracks, took aim, and shot

Melissa Kruger: Got Cha!

Melissa moved forward to find her prey, a Hare.

Melissa Kruger: Fine Pelt, good meat too.

Melissa put her killed away in her Knacksack

OCC: Apparently im not that busy

"Damn good shot." Nikolai said, as he threw a pebble he'd been holding with his hand into a nearby bush. A group of quail's began flying away and with deadly accuracy Nikolai managed to hit three of them.

"My father taught me... You know he killed a Siberian bear with one bullet."

Melissa Kruger: My father once destroyed the entire base of a unstoppable outlaw with one bullet, when he was 13! He shot the powder keg they used to load their Rifled Muskets, which set off a cache of Dynamite and the entire cave they used went up!

Melissa stopped when she saw something in the distance

I was deer like, but twice the size and it had giant antlers

Melissa Kruger: What is that?

Nikolai noticed the animal and he got down on the floor, pulling Melissa down with him.

"Its a moose, a male one. They're huge and will take you out in one swipe from those antlers." He said in a low voice.

Melissa aimed her weapon ready to fire. Nikolai put his hand on the rifle and lowered it. "Don't. We must leave it alone. This is his land. We have no right to take it."

In that moment another moose a female, and a small one came into sight.

Melissa Keuger: His Land? What is this a assassination? It's hunting! There is the prey and we are the Hunters.

Melissa fired a shot at the Moose, hitting it center mass

Thernanian Naval Fleet
Battleship Fuso
Admiral Mori Takenyuki stood on the deck of the battleship as it sailed through the seas, the entire fleet maneuvering around as the ships maintained formation through the Sea of Europeia,as Mori decided instead of sailing south, they would sail north and give the Twelve Isles, which they were now at war at a run for their money in the terms of ships sunk. as he entered the bridge to get rid of the thick morning fog that was clouding up many ships visions, some men began to shout.
" Ships sighted, they have the colors of the Twelve Isles!" the men cheered on each ship as they heard the news. the captain could not hold in a grin and got out a bottle of rum, when the commander of the vessel offered a glass to Mori, he shook his head.
" I have no need for alcohol to pollute my system, signal all hands to battle stations, and give the enemy ship three shells in the ass."
as the men merely nodded, the gun turrets in the front ship let loose with three ten inch projectiles that weighed heavily, but were shot out with help from the propellants behind it. the first shell exploded near the ship, the column of water dwarfing the small vessel, the other two shells did not grant the small merchant ship with the same courteous nod of water, as they both slammed into the rear of the ship, causing explosions and fires to break out on the vessel, it began to slow down and the crew began to abandon ship...
"sir, should we rescue them?"
Mori was about to answer when a man ran from the port side and proudly proclaimed.
"It's not just that one ship, I see an entire convoy of em, nine vessels so far, and we've sunk another one while you weren't looking!"
Mori grinned with glee. " Excellent news, here are my orders, the Destroyers and Torpedo boats are to attack the convoy, the battleships shall follow slowly behind at ten knots worth, if they run into trouble, we'll help the little ships out, now go!"
the men cheered with glee as other Twelve Isles civilian and cargo ships appeared, shocked to see the entire thernanian navy attacking them.
"fire!"
the triple guns recoiled back as the entire ship shook, the shells exploding a small twelve isles freighter, breaking it in two...
the men cheered loudly as the attack continued.

OOC: WAIT WHAT THE FUCK

WHEN DID THERNARIA DECLARE WAR ON THE TWELVE ISLES, THE TWELVE ISLES ARE A ENTENTE MEMBER AND SO ARE THE THERNS!!

Melissa spoke in a hushed yell

Melissa Keuger: His Land? What is this a assassination? It's hunting! There is the prey and we are the Hunters.

Melissa fired a shot at the Moose, hitting it center mass

The moose was hit in the right lung but he didn't even flinch, rather began to charge at the direction the two teens were hiding at. It charged fast and with its antlers in attack position waiting to strike.

Melissa was shocked by the sheer strength of such creature that she simply stayed frozen in fear. Nikolai then pull her out of the way, with the moose falling down in the lapse hill. Nikolai then began running as he hold Melissa's hand.

"Come on, we have to get to the palace." He yelled.

Both kept running with the moose in pursuit. The palace balcony at sight and Oswyn and Kruger inside drinking and talking

Palace throne room

Oswyn and Kruger enjoyed fine whiskey from Traansval while talking about politics and other matters.

"Yes, maybe the crowd was a bit harsh on the young lad, I cannot say I didn't find his talking a bit preposterous." He then was interrupted by Kruger showing an expression of fear as he saw something outside the window.

"What is it Mark?" Oswyn then turned his head and saw his son and young Melissa running from a huge moose charging full speed. Oswyn got up an immediately opened a large cabinet full of different weapons. He got out two loaded Martini Henry rifles and threw one to Kruger who catch it fast.

Kruger threw open the Window, took aim, and fired at the beasts chest

The bullet pierced the Moose's heart, stopping it dead.

The two leaders ran down the stairs to the two teenagers

Mark Kruger: MELISSA! NOT ONLY DID YOU GO HUNTING WITH ONLY A PISTOL AND SOME OLD RIFLE, BUT YOU DRAGGED THIS BOY INTO IT, WHAT IF HE HAD GOTTEN KILLED!

Kruger gave Melissa quite a earful, Melissa just stood looking at her boots in shame.

Oswyn was also scolding Nikolai severely. "You could have been killed Nikolai! My only son... Didn't you think of your mother, your sisters, you grandma... Our friend Kruger? You should have discouraged her from such a ridiculous escapade. And worst is you were part of it. I'm severely disappointed son." Oswyn said as he rubbed his face in frustration.

"Its was me..." Nikolai said in a low voice.

"What?" Oswyn said.

"It was my idea." Nikolai said again in a semi higher voice.

"What are you saying. Speak like a man!" Said Oswyn loudly.

"IT WAS MY IDEA. I dragged her with me. She shouldn't be punished for my idiocy." Nikolai said in a loud voice.

"Well then... you will tell that to Mark." Oswyn and Nikolai walked to Kruger, Oswyn this time with his son close to him. Maybe he wasn't happy about what he had done but he admired that he'd take the blame, even though he knew it was her.

"Mark... my son has something to tell you." Oswyn said. Kruger with a face of confusion.

"Sir, it was my idea. I took Melissa with me even when she didn't want to. I will face the punishment. She should not be punished for my error. I take all responsibility." Said Nikolai while respectfully bowing down all while giving Melissa a single eye blink and a smile.

Melissa Kruger was quite confused, but Nikolais wink told her she should play along
Mark Kruger: Well... It's alright son... I just wish you two would have asked as before hand, or at least brought a better gun!

Mark laughed at this last remark, a attempt to lighten the mood since he wanted to remove the spotlight from Nikolai, not great to accuse a Allied Prince of endangering a Elected Family member.

Mark Kruger: Well, I hope you two learned a lesson today. Now please tell me you at least shot something?

Melissa showed the Hare she shot, and Nikolai showed the Three quails he got.

Mark Kruger: Well, what do you say Oswyn? Shall we have their spoils for Luncheon?

"I believe we should. And the moose will also be fine meat for the rest of the month." Oswyn said with a smile as he pat Nikolai in the back.

"Let us head on back to the palace. Dinner will soon be served with these two game winnings."

Mori grinned with glee. " Excellent news, here are my orders, the Destroyers and Torpedo boats are to attack the convoy, the battleships shall follow slowly behind at ten knots worth, if they run into trouble, we'll help the little ships out, now go!"
the men cheered with glee as other Twelve Isles civilian and cargo ships appeared, shocked to see the entire thernanian navy attacking them.
"fire!"
the triple guns recoiled back as the entire ship shook, the shells exploding a small twelve isles freighter, breaking it in two...
the men cheered loudly as the attack continued.

Office of Diplomacy

Pretoria, Guateng, The Traansval

Chancellor Henry, head of Diplomacy, sat at his desk

Suddenly, a diplomat of the Diplomatic Corp entered the room with a NAD AGENT

Diplomat: Sir! Thernaria has declared war on The Twelve Isles and is sinking Twelve Isles civilian Vessels!!

Chancellor Henry: Good Lord! Those damn CARRIBEANERS! Agent, send this down to telegram office, stat!

From: Chancellor Henry, Head of Diplomacy

To: Leader of the Thernian Republic

The Traansval demands you cease hostilities against The Twelve Isles immediately or we will declare war to help our ally.

And if The Traansval declares war on you, with the added bonus of you declaring war on The Twelve Isles, you can expect the wrath of the Entente!

[The Traansval]

Melissa Kruger was quite confused, but Nikolais wink told her she should play along
Mark Kruger: Well... It's alright son... I just wish you two would have asked as before hand, or at least brought a better gun!

Mark laughed at this last remark, a attempt to lighten the mood since he wanted to remove the spotlight from Nikolai, not great to accuse a Allied Prince of endangering a Elected Family member.

Mark Kruger: Well, I hope you two learned a lesson today. Now please tell me you at least shot something?

Melissa showed the Hare she shot, and Nikolai showed the Three quails he got.

Mark Kruger: Well, what do you say Oswyn? Shall we have their spoils for Luncheon?

"I believe we should. And the moose will also be fine meat for the rest of the month." Oswyn said with a smile as he pat Nikolai in the back.

"Let us head on back to the palace. Dinner will soon be served with these two game winnings."

Two Hours Later, during dinner

Melissa and Nikolai, after getting earful a from their mothers, now sat together at the dinner table.

Melissa: Why did you take the blame? I'm not some damsel you need to save, I could take to blame you know!

At the other end of the table, Kruger and Oswyn sat next to each other, with Oswyn at the head of the table with Kruger on his right

Mark Kruger: I do hope you realize that it was indeed my daughters idea, correct?

Sea of the Great Blue Expanse.

The brand new 13th fleet had been sailing for a few weeks now. They had original orders to round all around Africa and arrive to Alevi in a few months. However new orders were received. The communications officer took the telegram to the Admiral who was in his quarters shaving.

"Sir we've received an important telegram. You must read it at once." The sailor said.

Admiral Urul took the message and read it.

From: Arenginian High Command
To: Admiral Urul of the 13th fleet
Encryption: MAX

Admiral, your ships have been assigned with the task to move in to the regions of Alefum and Jhonaess, at the point you receive this message you'd be closing in to the Rannorian colony of port Caep. You must act quick and swift to investigate on the natives and how to win over the region. Our colonial expansion shall begin with you. Further orders will be given soon.

Good be with you.

"Set course to Caep, tell them we come in peace to refuel and re supply. That is all men." Said Urul heading back to his quarters.

"Yes sir."

Mark Kruger: I do hope you realize that it was indeed my daughters idea, correct?

"I don't know... I guess I just felt it was the right thing to do. Also I feel... I don't know." Nikolai continued eating very nervously.

At the other end of the table.

"Yes Mark, I might be blind but not so blind. I now how to see a spark when there is one. You shouldn't be so harsh on your daughter, she is just an adventurer. Do you like the portrait by the way. It is my father." Oswyn looked at the portrait up in the chimney right above Oswyn's own portrait.

"He was such a great man. Bigger than me in almost every aspect's I must say. He never got to see what I become, he died when I was 19." Oswyn said rather sadden.



"My mother is alive and well though. She herself oversaw when they made my portrait at age 30 right there." Oswyn pointed at the portrait of himself.



"She would complain that I looked to small or that I should take off the robe. It was a pain I must say. Maybe you'll meet her someday." Oswyn said chuckling.
