Royal Palace, Yggdrasilia, Grand Duchy of Isengar, Danceria, Arda
0908hrs

---

The sun already is high above the picturesque skies, peering in the valley between the Misty and White mountains. A vast, old metropolis of brick and steel reflected the light almost hiding the crowds of almost three million inhabitants busy with their every day affairs. Shops call out and revel in the revenue of throngs of tourists, oblivious to the arrival of the aristocratic elite for a magnificent banquet. To be among them is to live in hopeful times. How you will enjoy this banquet, or not, is up to you...

---

Hello and welcome to Yggdrasilia (pronounced Yigg-drah-silly-yah)! The verdant heart and soul of the old Dancerian Kingdom, and it is buzzing with activity! The young King Aceus Elurion, First of His Name, invites the crowned heads and aristocrats of the world to a grand summit in the aged city.


You naturally are invited to enjoy the food, dancing, or just explore the area. I am opting for a more open-ended semi-sandbox mode to allow worldbuilding. However, there is a schedule to events.

Basics:
1: I am the Lord Thy DM OP, Thou shalt have no other OPs before me
2: First rule should only be ignored if there is a Mod or Designated Co-Op present
3: If you think you're doing something wrong, feel free to ask. Be this in "I don't know what to say aside from one lining" or "would this be offensive to your culture"? Help should come in the form of OOC chatting.
4: Lads/Laddettes...you can get as handsy and frisky with the persons of your choice, heck, you can even make steamy scenes to test your erotic writing skills...DON'T POST THEM ON NS FOR THE LOVE OF THE VALAR
5: Fun is mandatory. There is no escape. You will have a (hopefully) good time. Resistance is Impolite.
6: There is no rule seven, because I expect you to act with common decency, or act as a community to quickly oust those who do not.

Regarding Characters:
1. This is an MT level area, no tech flexing permitted
2. Regarding weapons: I'm willing to allow ceremonial weapons, like sabres and such things, but if that is abused, there will be a "No exceptions" here. When it is abused or when not is my decision. (Besides, Dancerians are notorious gun-nuts. Like, Switzerland and redneck america had a fusion. Well, maybe that's an exaggeration) anything greater than a pistol or low-tier weapon to defend oneself with is not permitted the only exception is bodyguards.
4. Shopkeeps, servants, and any Dancerian NPCs in general will be played by me, mainly due to cultural particularities and worldbuilding. Feel free to visit!
5. You cannot teleport behind people. If you wish to travel outside of the area, feel free to let me know. A quick "I wanna go to x to do y with z because lel" in the OOC is more than sufficient. We have public transportation for a reason, people.
6. Please post a finished RSVP in the OOC, and I will add to the roster.

I'll even throw in a paragraph as a bonus:

The Grand Duke sat on his throne, guards standing ramrod straight. He ate his cinnamon bun with the mundane boredom that only someone who does this every day can muster. He spoke, "Sergeant Cook, get me the daily briefing." The Sergeant muttered a quick acknowledgment, and passed the folder to the Duke, who put on his reading glasses and read it over. After about 2 minutes, he said, "Someone notify the chef I want veal tonight.". A young corporal asked, "How shall it be cooked, Your Grace?". Without even looking up, he said "Tell him the usual." The Duke said, "I'm bored, someone fetch my sword, and tell my driver we're going to visit the local elementary school, to impress the little leeches."
Have you read and understood the rules?: Yes.
Even Rule Seven?: There is none.

I am devastated.


How ever shall I recover?


Also how do I post then?

Five dudes minimum, then we party.

It's high time I start flexing my muscle (and my brain) as an observer state and... observe.

Kness and Dahon are ACCEPT! I should really make a roster.

Quick question for y'all...do you like your parties loud and with lots of people, or small and slightly intimate?

Well, I'll defer to Loth on that but I do like the small and intimate, even though I've been at my most effective at bouncing off as many people as possible RP-wise.

Dahon wrote:Well, I'll defer to Loth on that but I do like the small and intimate, even though I've been at my most effective at bouncing off as many people as possible RP-wise.

Loud means you'll be dealing with a bunch of dudes or dudettea. Intimate means you're most likely Hon a be talking with other chars that aren't Dancerian.

That's fine, I'll just go with the flow.

Sounds interesting. Tag.

Good morning,
as the Sultanate is thinking about maybe, potentially, under very specific circumstances to join the MTO as an Observer State, and due to several members of the MTO having cordial relations with Kyrenaia, I would like to throw a RSVP out, if no one minds.

Thank you very much. I can assure you, though, Aceus will not face-fault as badly as he fears. ; )

Welp, it seems the IC's already up, and my battery's anything up.

Catch me in a few hours, come flood or storm surge!

Am I giving a glorious speech?

As head of the MTO/TRUST, a few compliments on food and the host is nice. No promises you can't keep.

Give it on IC, so I can come in and pester you with names after I'm done recharging.

I was thinking a "this is a big occasion" speech thingie.

My leader is basically Nobuhide Oda meets Obama meets Churchill.

I know Churchill, I kinda know the Oda clan, but who's the middle guy?

You got me for a second!

But the general gist of what I'm hearing is that this guy is an orator, correct?

Cool, sly, economically clever, tough guy, yes.
Nobuhide's toughness and financial-economic abilities with Obama's cool refined dialogue, and Churchill's determination and loyalty.

I see... A Senschal, or consigliere.
