[Blackhelm Confederacy]

There were plenty of places that Julia could have a meeting, a restaurant, an office, her home, all of them were available, plus more. Julia went about her daily routine with a certain glow about her, knowing that two of her father's chauffers were waiting at Paradise City International Airport for the record executives from some foreign land to come. Once they arrived, she hoped, her music career could be brought to a new level.

I'm an and off kinda guy.

Anyways, Kubra would like to donate our special Shoore Limited Edition VGF474B Nuclear Powered Micropone!
We attempted to make the pickup out of enriched uranium, but as soon as we learned that such is physically impossible, so we decided to hook it up to a nuclear reactor. Seems to work out alright. ish. Don't use around large crowds.

Julia Griffincrest has become an overnight musical sensation among the Kingdom's tween base. Her debut album, Julia has sold well over 366 million albums, topping 50 Cent who previously held the top spot with 337 million.

A Letter from President Alexander Kazansky

Dear Julia!

I have the pleasure to write to tell you that I have listened to your album. It is popular on the Internet, and some of your songs are already being used as soundtracks for so-called AMV's, wherein they are overlayed over footage from classical TV shows. In particular, I have enjoyed overlayings of 'Invidia' over certain segments of the newer Star Wars trilogy, and 'Petroleum Party Girl' overlayed over the End of Evangelion film.

As you know, I am not merely the President of the United States of Allanea, but also the CEO of Kazansky Heavy Industries, LTD, and the CEO and majority shareholder of the Confederate Bank, the major banking corporation of the Confederacy of Sovereign States. As such, I would like to arrange a concert by you in Liberty-City, Allanea. You will be paid 5 million dollars for your appearance, which I trust is more than enough.

After the performance, you are invited to have dinner with me at my palace, Minas-Faerie.

Sincerely yours,
Alexander Kirillovich Kazansky

Once they arrived, she hoped, her music career could be brought to a new level.

A private jet from the nation of Acacia Heights landed at Paradise City International Airport early that afternoon. Rebeka Coral, Naomi Goodman (Vice-President of Public Relations), and a few guards disembarked, passed through customs and security, and made their way to the chauffeurs. "Hello," Rebeka said briskly. "Rebeka Coral, A & R at Acacia Heights Records. I'm here to meet with Miss Julia Griffincrest."

CD Sales in Spartan Philidelphia, brought to you by Conspiracy News Daily

The CD is popular among girls between the ages of 11 and 17, but we find that a moderate number of creepy stalkers are purchasing the CD. After the initial release, sales have been dropping gradually. For now, about 9 million copies have been sold. My opinion, however, suggests that my head will explode if I hear another one of these horrible, uncreative songs. Oh wait, Cladius might be readin... This is purely, a wonderful CD with graceful songs. I like the ones in Latin the most since I'm pretty sure I'll be one of a small group in Spartan Philidelphia to actually understand what she is trying to say. Hurray!

Julia wasa overwhelmed by all of the CD's she was selling around the world, and couldn't wait to tell her father of the good news. When he found out about a possible concert in Allanea, however, his doubts were raised.

"Dear President Kazansky,

I would love to do a concert in Allanea, but my dad says I can't do it just now. I am going to hopefully do a tour in Maraque, and then your country will be next stop, promise!

Love,
Julia"

"Dear King of Maraque,

My dad says that it would be okay to have a concert in your nation, so what do ya think? Let me know when this would be ok, and I'll check it with my people to get the best time for both of us.

Love, Julia"

From: Julia Griffincrest's Record Company

We can sell you the ten thousand CD's for $50,000. Deal?

The chauffer picked up the Acacian Record execs and began to drive them to Julia's favorite restaurant, an Asian fusion type place called "Tsunami". Julia was already there, at her own private booth in the back.

The witch stuff was a joke, but she really is scary looking....

Seriously? I think this might be the first time I've ever disagreed with you... I think she's pretty hot.

IC: Due to the strong pro-capitalism message of many of the songs on this CD, we regret to say that it has not sold well at all in New Olwe. However, parodies of some tracks have been hugely successful.

I'm not much of a tan person. any way the smile, its just, (shudders)....

[Acacia Heights Records]

The chauffer picked up the Acacian Record execs and began to drive them to Julia's favorite restaurant, an Asian fusion type place called "Tsunami". Julia was already there, at her own private booth in the back.

Rebeka, Naomi, and their security made their way to the back of the restaurant, where they found Julia waiting. "A pleasure to meet you, Miss Griffincrest," Naomi said pleasantly, shaking Julia's hand. "I'm Naomi Goodman, and this is Rebeka Coral. Mr. Johessman regrets that he is unable to meet with you personally at this time, but be does send his congratulations, and looks forward to speaking with you in the future."

Rebeka also shook Julia's hand. "Well, then, let's get down to business. As I mentioned to you in one of my messages, our standard contract is for two albums and a royalty rate of ten percent. Are these terms agreeable, or would you prefer something different?"

"Also," Naomi interjected, "do you happen to know how many records you've sold so far, by any chance?"

[Blackhelm Confederacy]

"Well, this sounds like we have a deal here." Julia said, not really knowing what she was doing but trying to act like she did.

"And I'm not really sure exactly how many CD's have been sold but it is definitely over a billion. I gotta ask though, what is the benefit of signing with you when I can just have my dad release the records?"

[Anemos Major]

"In other news, the recently released CD, 'Julia', which caused a major controversy in the Anemonian state on Tuesday as it became apparent that it was being performed by the daughter of notorious oil magnate Claudius Griffincrest, has ceased production. The Anemonian government, in an investigation spearheaded by the High Lord himself, accused the sole distributors of the record, 'Argus Tracks Incorporated', of hiring illegal immigrants to create the tracks. The investigation is currently underway, and the president of the company, Milier Hyranth, is expected to appear in court on Sunday."

The Imperial Palace of Anemos Major, Anemos Rei

"And... uh, your Majesty, about that CD. It wasn't good music, granted, and it is trye that Hyranth was employing illegal workers, but I just want to know why you were so... fierce, when it came to banning it."

The Holy Officer of Economic Affairs, Morlenyr Orlonthei, was a slightly balding man, with a stutter and a soft voice, but his intellect was unmatched. Knowing he couldn't fool the man, Thryn, sighing, sat back, his shock of grey hair nestling around his ears as he rested his head against the back of the hard wooden chair he somehow favoured; the traditional throne of Ilfir Erenthi I, although important, had generally been shunned by most of the High Lords of Anemos Major. Taking after his father, however, Thryn seemed to melt into it, as if there was nothing more comfortable. The gesture, however, was another one of the things that made the fifteen-year old High Lord wildly popular in Anemos Major.

"Don't you find her tiresome?" asked Thryn. "I don't like stuck up, rich children. That's my personal reason."

BREAKING NEWS: Local station Q103 Cambridge announced that Julia Griffincrest has become a hate figure across the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom of Blytheborough, Britainaston and Astholm.

Apparently she is so hated no-one will buy her records. Girls Aloud and the Sugababes have overtook her in sales figures - leaving Julia Griffincrest out in the cold, so to speak.

The apparent rumours that she may be having a sex-change could be the reason why.

"Well, this sounds like we have a deal here." Julia said, not really knowing what she was doing but trying to act like she did.

"And I'm not really sure exactly how many CD's have been sold but it is definitely over a billion. I gotta ask though, what is the benefit of signing with you when I can just have my dad release the records?"

"Well, that depends on the sort of deal your dad is offering," Rebeka answered warmly. "We will help promote your works, all across the world; we own a touring agency, so we can set up tours easily and with very little cost to either of us; we own several television and radio networks internationally, to help you gain added exposure. We own a production and distribution company as well.

"Also, once you earn back the cost of promotion and prouction, ninety percent of the money you make will be yours. That should be easy, since you've already proven that you can sell records quickly and en masse." She raised her eyebrows. "A billion records in such a short time is quite a feat."

Rebeka looked at Naomi, who nodded. Rebeka then continued, "I've neglected to mention your advance. How does $30 million sound to you?"
