Imperial Coronation (OVER, CLOSED)

[Kioyoto]

Catherine nodded towards Alice."Good morning Empress. I've been talking to Ambassador Price about the issue of terrorism,"

Empress Alice smiled and looked to Ambassador Price.
"Well, its nice to meet you Mr. Price. I'm sorry to hear your also suffering from terrorism."
Empress Alice then looked back to Catherine.
"I should have said just before, but you look wonderful this morning. We all seem to be perking ourselves up."

Catherine blushed. AGAIN. She spoke to Alice,
"My, my, all of us are looking rather fresh today. I wonder what you're going to call me when we're able to talk to the OTHER Catherine,"

She then turned over to Mr. Price.
"Yes, it would benifit everyone,"

[Kylarnatia]

Price smiled back, sad over the state of affairs in his nation, but doing his best to focus on the happiness this day was supposed to bring.

"I'm Ambassador Adam Price, from the nation of Erjunhuf." Price replied to the Empress. In response to Catharine's question, Price replied "That isn't a bad idea. Erjunhuf would, after all the troubles we have gone through in the past week, definitely take an interest in such an alliance."

"Erjunhuf? Thats a fabulous name. I cannot believe I haven't heard of you before." The Empress smiled back then turned back to President Catherine.
"Well, I dunno, Cathie, prehaps." The Empress gave a friendly laugh.

[Erjunhuf]

OOC: The story of how I came up with the name Erjunhuf is an odd and hilarious one.

IC: "Well, we have not played a part in international issues for as long as yourselves, as we had a policy of isolationism for several years, but we still try to play an important role." Price replied, still smiling.

[Kioyoto]

Catherine found herself yawning.
"I wonder when the coronation will start....?"

[Royal Calathonia]

Lord Halifax sighed, thinking to himself Such informal conversation. Anyhow, a messenger came in and said "Everyone, the procession to the cathederal is about to start. Please head into your cars." Halifax promptly left, heading into his limousine. He expected the Kylarnatian royals, President Catherine, and Ambassador Price to follow him.

[Kioyoto]

Catherine stood up, and walked over to Halifax's limousine. She seated herself on the far left seat.

IC:

"Well, This coronation will definatly help you get yourself known. My country will definatly be keeping a keen eye on you from now on." The Empress smiled. She then joined up with her husband and son and walked with them towards the limousine, sitting themselves mainly in the center.

[Erjunhuf]

Price turned around after hearing that the coronation would soon begin, and followed Halifax down to the waiting limo, taking a seat on the far right.

[Kioyoto]

Catherine felt a sudden urge to fall asleep. She tried best to fight it, but it was hopeless. She soon was envoleped in the dark arms of sleep...

Empress Alice noticed this, and leaned over.
"Ms. Catherine...Miss? Are you alright?"

[Erjunhuf]

The ambassador looked over to see that the President of Kioyoto had fallen asleep. Odd, but not uncommon, Price thought. The stress and long hours of government life could take a toll on someone. He couldn't really blame her for falling asleep, and it wasn't exactly the best time, but it was better that she was asleep here rather than at the coronation: now THAT would be controversial.

[Kioyoto]

Catherine woke up, and jumped.
"I'm sorry, I drifted of a bit.."

[Royal Calathonia]

With the doors to the limousine closed, it started heading down. The limo joined a great procession of cars, people, and horses heading to St Helena Cathedral. At the head of the procession was the limousine in which the Empress was in. She was waving to the people, lined up alongside the streets. Also in her limousine was most of her ministers, the Imperial Chamberlain, and the Imperial Steward. The second limousine had Halifax, President Catherine, Ambassador Price, Empress Alice, Tsar Hyuga, and the young Kylarnatian Prince. The third one itself carried the Imperial Crown, the Imperial Orb, and the Imperial Scepter, along with the Bearer of the Imperial Seal and the Imperial Lord Organizer. Sedans and other limousines carried other government officials, minor diplomats, and the rulers of the states of the Empire, including the King of Bareblania and the Grand Duke of Borisna. Everyone was dressed in formal attire. At the cathedral, was the Archbishop of Munster, a man of seventy years, who was patiently waiting, alongside other Bishops and organizers of the coronation.

[Kioyoto]

Catherine waved half-heartedly to the crowd of onlookers... it was reminding her of the Kioyoto before the terrorist attacks... she willed herself not to cry.

Lord Halifax saw President Catherine looking upset, and asked "My dear, what is wrong with you? Are you hurting, or anything of that manner?" The old man had a look of concern, even through his glasses.

[Kioyoto]

Catherine sighed.
"No, it is just.... I'm thinking of all those people in Kioyoto who are dead from terrorist attacks,"

[Royal Calathonia]

Catherine sighed.
"No, it is just.... I'm thinking of all those people in Kioyoto who are dead from terrorist attacks,"

Lord Halifax said "I understand my dear. Everyone gets it. I have been in government for forty-three years, and I know how it is. I have faced many situations myself, many troubling situations."

[Kioyoto]

Catherine sighed.
"No, it is just.... I'm thinking of all those people in Kioyoto who are dead from terrorist attacks,"

Lord Halifax said "I understand my dear. Everyone gets it. I have been in government for forty-three years, and I know how it is. I have faced many situations myself, many troubling situations."

Catherine said with a voice dripping of resenment,
"Sometimes I wish that someone else could take my place. This job is emotionally breaking my life down,"

[Royal Calathonia]

Lord Halifax said "I understand my dear. Everyone gets it. I have been in government for forty-three years, and I know how it is. I have faced many situations myself, many troubling situations."

Catherine said with a voice dripping of resenment,
"Sometimes I wish that someone else could take my place. This job is emotionally breaking my life down,"

Lord Halifax nodded "Look, my dear, as I said, everybody faces harsh situations. I have, as I have said. You must use determination and strength to get through, everything you can, to strive. You will make it, and your nation will make it. Royal Calathonia has made it through threats of war, those terrorist attacks, many things, and Kioyoto can make it through these terrorist assaults. Just trust me, my dear." The elderly man then adjusted his glasses and waited for a response. Meanwhile, the procession to the cathedral continued.

[Kioyoto]

Catherine sighed, (AGAIN!)
"Well, sometimes I feel up and sometimes I feel down. I am just thankful to be alive in such a diverse world..."

[Royal Calathonia]

Catherine sighed, (AGAIN!)
"Well, sometimes I feel up and sometimes I feel down. I am just thankful to be alive in such a diverse world..."

OOC: Kioyoto, how old is President Kiola? I'm guessing she's been in government, for what, twenty years, or so.

IC:
Lord Halifax nodded and said "You must not put yourself down, my dear. You must try to strive, to strive." Halifax then turned back out the window, hoping all his words would soak into President Kiola's mind.

[Kioyoto]

OOC: She's about say, 45 years old. She was in the goverment since age 27.

Catherine did let those words sink in.....

[Royal Calathonia]

OOC: She's about say, 45 years old. She was in the goverment since age 27.

Catherine did let those words sink in.....

Halifax then said "Please do take my advice, my dear. I have been in government, since you were a child, so I know some things. You must strive, become stronger, not saying "I'm getting out". Cowardice will not help." He then turned back to the window.

[Kylarnatia]

Catherine sighed, (AGAIN!)
"Well, sometimes I feel up and sometimes I feel down. I am just thankful to be alive in such a diverse world..."

While the Kylarnatian Royal Family waved to the crowds, Baby Kain was giggling as he crawled between his mothers and fathers laps. Empress Alice saw the distress of President Catherine.
"Ms. Catherine, please cheer up, nobody likes seeing a world leader upset. especially not a female. I know that, people were distressed when Empress Catherine got upset by the constant affairs. Lord Halifax is also right."

Halifax nodded, and he noticed Kain crawling between Empress Alice and Tsar Hyuga. Lord Halifax then said to Empress Alice "I must say, that your son, His Highness, is a adorable little toddler."
