Signing CeremonyOver the night and during the next morning, a stage was set up in the main outdoor area at Camp Goldstein. Messages were sent out to major press corporations, and reporters quickly were flown into the refugee camp. Boundaries were set up around the stage, while refugees at the camp looked on in confusion. Many of them were lucky to have known about Camp Goldstein, and lucky to either stumble upon a ROTCOF patrol, or to make their way to the camp themselves. The poor asylum-seekers, once reaching the camp, were assigned an ID number, and given a bunk to sleep in. The main problem at Goldstein was, not surprisingly, overcrowding. ROTCOF command was reluctant to expand the camp, as doing so may anger foreign powers. Running the camp at all was a bit controversial internationally. Was it an illegal landgrab? Was it a humanitarian effort? It didn't matter now, as the war was almost over. Speakers and other AV equipment was erected, while signs camera crews set up their recording devices in the press area. It soon became clear to the refugees that
something regarding the ongoing peace talks at the camp was going on.
Heinz von Rabenhaus woke up in quite a good mood. He knew today was the signing ceremony, and, if all went well, he'd be on a plane 24 hours from now, getting some much-needed rest. He got up, walked over to his small room's bathroom, and did the normal things a man would do in the morning. He took a shower, brushed his teeth, shaved his beard. He wanted,
needed to look good for this ceremony. They could have done the whole ordeal in the conference room, but it would look great for him, if not Rhunnland, if they did it publically, outside, in front of hundreds of refugees. Election season was coming up back home, and he and his party would look great after coming out successful in all this.
He put on his best suit, and walked outside. He never was able to take in the beautiful forests and plains of True Carr. Sure, he'd seen it, but he never had time to really appreciate it. Before long Halbrack met up with him, and they both went over to the Conferance Room, as was a routine occurrence for the two of them. As they walked, the two of them quitely reminisced over the events that transpired over the past year [Just gonna assume that this whole RP happened over the course of a year ICly]. It started with just an NSB report about the start of a war, then the failed Rhunnich Summit, which ended in violence, and, if anything, made the war even worse. It was during the conference that Suryak decided to switch sides, and force the True Carrian government to collapse. Then, the 2nd Army and the Naval Task Force moved in. The 2nd Army eventually withdrew, but the Naval Force ended up getting into a skirmish with Suryakian naval vessels, costing many Rhunnmarks in damages. Sometimes both of them wondered if it would've been better just to stay out of the whole ordeal. But that was behind them now.
They opened the door into Conferance Room A, probably for the last time, and sat down. Rabenhaus announced, "Gentlemen, we've arrived at a historic moment. Our nations have lost countless lives and dollars, and this treaty that we've agreed on, that ends it all. Yes, not all of the belligerants have come to sign, but the important ones, the two countries in which this international conflict stemmed from, have. As i'm sure you've noticed, ROTCOF has been setting up a stage for us outside. On that stage will be a table, on that table the final copy of the treaty. We shall all sign it, in addition to signing copies to be given to each of your respective nations. The main copy, however, will be given to either True Carr or Oppermenia, and will be up to those two who will get to keep it. In about... half an hour we'll go to the stage, and will all sign the main treaty and our copies. On behalf of Her Majesty the Kaiserin, myself and Minister Halbrack would like to thank you for coming here to solve this peacefully. Oh, and by the way, there's food and drink in Conferance Room B.
A half hour later, the diplomats and representatives all went to the stage, met with the cheering of the refugees. The all got on the stage, standing infront of their respective flag, and Rabenhaus gave a speech, mainly to the refugees but also to the press, talking about the struggles they had all been through. After another round of applause, Rabenhaus and Halbrack signed both the main treaty and the Rhunnlandian one.
