8:01 AM - 11/3/24 - Oulu


Streets of Oulu - 8:00 AM - 10:30 PM



Of course, after the announcement of re-continuing talks with the Red Empire and the Monarchist Kingdom was felt with heartfelt excitement. The situation between the two have long been closed off, no formal relations had been establish after Bagazia went silent. Only after its return would they contact the Foreign Office of Lütomeroug situated west of Degiazi. The destabilization of Bagazia was shown all over the world, with the far north being around the only places not touched. Thus, Oulu was selected as the city to represent the talks. The celebratory city, being one of the few cities to have the best solidity and few crime would allow the citizens to begin preparations of Oulu. Christmas was coming soon, so was Thanksgiving, so to match with that theme - they would begin setting up decorations of that manner.

As the flags of the Arzelen and Bagazian fly across every street and building, music could be heard from the port to the corners of Barazville.

Marching Band walking through 7th Avenue - 6:38 PM
Some say it smells like vanilla and pine mixed together, it generally has the best clean water - making the local economy a widespread boom. Not many cars were in Oulu, due to its No-Automobile policy, of course it does make for some nice walking - which overall made the appearance of citizens one of the most beautiful in the nation.

Diplomat and once part of the Vurtun Elites - Daryl Essen would be appointed to oversee the events of the city and the arrival of the "Varant", or so intelligence has told him. That isn't to say resistance cells wouldn't be located within the depths of the city - security would be bulked to the maximum, making the local population uneasy. Still, the celebration must go on. Almost around the outskirts, fake farm setups would see musicians sing their hearts out with their own taste.

80th Wallstreet Market populated with Civilians - 11:37 AM
At Oulu Airport, fireworks were shown to explode across the city around 9:00. Civilian Yachts were seen partying the night out, and showlights were reaching the skies. This was around the designated time the supposed diplomat was supposed to show, and the people were sleeping. 'Course the city was still booming, but now everyone was walking to bars and quieting down. Black SUVs were stationed at the airport, around 15 security guards with attached radios and vintage sunglasses were standing in silence. The soothing soft breeze brushing on Daryl was comforting, as he thought of his lover - Anastasia, her green eyes almost made him tear up.




Oulu Airport - 9:38 PM | "I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, 'go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again."- Lewis Carroll


Image
Oulu Airport

A snowstorm was approaching, and waiting for the Varant was irritating the man. The soft winds now start turning harsh as it slaps itself onto Darly's face. The trees could be heard rustling, and the city could be seen turning their lights off - the sound of barricades being made out. Most of the buildings now lock their doors for the upcoming snowstorm. And the Yachts now make their way to the port to take shelter, a single utility pole could be seen trying to hold out.

The Airport held in the local people who were arriving or exiting, and air traffic was being redirected to Artozoka. He'd look down at his watch, 9:45 PM, the clock strikes. He wasn't really in a diplomat attire so to speak, mainly tied up in a puffer jacket and a small hat cap that truckers would wear. Daryl would turn around and signal the guards to head inside the cars. He would have an illusion of sorts, mumbling to himself - as if he was speaking to.. Anastasia.

No word from the Red Empire has been called out to Daryl, so he would stand there - patiently.


OOC: This is a thread between RB and BA. If you want something.. TG one of us. Also this is mainly SIC, no one knows about this except me and BA ICly - Thank you.

Varant Panosian paced about the private aircraft’s cabin, checking his watch occasionally as snow battered the plane, pattering against the windows as they began to descend. He was excited, but also felt a hint of anxiety about the upcoming talks - whether BA allied with Bagazia once more was a big deal, the responsibility for which lied solely upon his shoulders.. on British Arzelentaxmacone’s part, at least. Still, an understandably nerve wracking situation, and his fears for the talk’s proceedings were only heightened by the sudden drop of the plane’s altitude, the descent beginning properly now as the skyline of Oulu came into clear, albeit distant, view. Gripping a nearby armrest so firmly that his fingernails blanched, he took a deep breath, shutting his eyes in an attempt to dampen his fear of flying. However, he didn’t have to worry for long, and before he knew it the low rumble of a landing plane became audible, the aircraft touching down and coming to a gradual halt, a bell ringing cheerfully to signal the end of his journey. A relief, certainly.

Then came the time to disembark properly, heavy steel doors sliding open as a portable staircase allowed him quick escape, however he preferred to take a more professional route, straightening his fine suit and confidently beginning to descend the steps, whirling breeze and light snow rustling his curls of hair and disturbing his tucked shirt. Obscured by the snow, the only feature of Varant that would likely be visible to the awaiting man was a pair of illuminated green eyes glowing amid swirling winds and the gathering storm weather. Slipping on the stairs a little, he tumbled down the steps but quickly attempted to regain composure, dusting himself off somewhat awkwardly and extending a hand, practically having to yell over the howling winds. “Good evening! It’s Varant! Varant Panosian, from BA!”

Oulu Airport - 9:49 PM



Looking above at the Varant as he walked down the portable stairs - looking dead straight into his eyes. He wouldn't respond, infact - Daryl would grip onto his hand, shaking it- then dragging him inside the first car he saw. Opening the door and shoving him inside, before entering and closing the cardoor. Daryl would remove the illusion of his lover when Varant showed up, now with him beside eachother. The soft interior of the car would be met with the roaring engines as the SUVs started to bolt off away from Oulu Airport. It wasn't pleasant for the man, his ruined night dream. At least the city celebration was successful. The roads were ice-cold, making it harder to drift around to the Fjäll Boreas View Suites. The most notable hotel in Oulu used by tourists, until now that is. Daryl sat in silence as he scrolled through his phone, the Oulu Newspaper documenting about the achievement of stability in the city. A soft smile formed on his lips, tiring himself out with a sigh - rolling his head back onto the cushion.

Image
Varant and Daryl Shaking Hands
He would turn his head over to Varant, scrunching his eyebrows with a non-expressionless look. Eventually Daryl would chuckle, like a mad man - before clearing out his throat to speak.
"Right, you're the one who was around 30ish minutes late. Now because of that we're in danger of a snowstorm, and having our meeting right here in this car. It's a long way before we even arrive at our destination. I-" Daryl would cough violently, disrupting him. Placing a fist under his mouth while the feeling of pain surged through his back and throat. It wasn't pleasant, so to speak - after some time he would eventually get a hold of himself. Noticing a slight red dot on his wrist, wiping it off - and waving toward Varant to leave it be. "..sorry about that show, as I was.. trying to say. If I recall you saying, you're Varant Panosian, from the Red Empire. Well I'm Daryl Essen, from the Monarchist Kingdom. Pleased to meet you.."

Daryl would formally extend his hand out to Varant, now for a proper greeting this time. The bashing sounds of the snow could be heard within the car, a possible fear of it breaking the windows eventually.

“Oh—” Varant began in confusion, before being cut off suddenly as he was pulled into the car, tumbling into the seat and hurriedly buckling his seatbelt, clutching an armrest and catching his breath. “What the hell was that for?” He exclaimed, somewhat angry at the roughness of Daryl, but he soon calmed down and listened. “Hey, it’s not my fault. The snowstorm delayed my flight, how was I supposed to know I was late?”

However, he appeared rather concerned as Daryl coughed up a little blood, and furrowed his brow in worry. “Are you ok there, Mr Essen?” Varant asked, seeming genuinely confused, although with him it was difficult to tell if anything he said or supposedly felt was sincere, this remaining ambiguous as he shook the man’s hand. “Pleased to meet you.” The minister uttered curiously.

The Old Passage -10:03 PM


Clearly, Daryl wasn't at his best - thus the coughing. After shaking Varant's hand he would let go, clenching his fist onto his knee. 'The snow must've gotten to me,' he thought to himself. He understood Varant's earlier expression of frustration and confusion of his unusual manner. However deepening themselves within the hailing storm could've led to dangerous situations. The SUV felt jumped slightly, small ice cubes were in the road. The window in the middle of the car blocked off the Security from hearing the conversation from behind. Hopefully making things less tense. Daryl would feel a sharp pain in his right leg, grabbing it while making a grunting sensation.

"Crap.. that hurts so much.." Daryl winched in pain, either way there was no help he could get in this very moment. So the other option? The diplomat looked at Varant, still grunting to himself.

"So.. uh.. what's with you? Why are you.. so special that they brought you here? ..Don't worry about the delay, it's fine. - tell me about yourself while we're here?"

Varant watched him with concern as he seemed to double over in pain, not exactly knowing what to do as his green eyes darted about the car, looking for help perhaps. However, when he looked back at Varant and resumed some semblance of a normal conversation, he felt inclined to answer and assume that the other man was alright.

“Uh, well, I am Minister of Defence. Olaf is busy with looking after his pregnant wife, Petrukhina’s in the Illion League, Geoffrey’s in the GSC, Alexei is.. well, he’s another matter, and Antoní is looking after public relations in the midst of all of the controversy we’ve been facing. Basically, I was the only person left for the task.”

“Tell you about myself? Well..” he paused, thinking. “I’m not actually a full blooded British Arzelentaxmaconean - my father is Armenian and my mother is half-Azerbaijani. I used to serve in the secret police, and saved the Leader from a fire during one of his events. He promoted me for my trouble, and I represented InterCOM for a short time before becoming Minister of Defence upon Olaf’s inauguration.”

The Old Passage -10:11 PM



Daryl would just stare at Varant, simply listening to his words. He was surprised about his past, a non-Arzelent acting as a MoD was concerning to him - but his leg was of bigger concern. The feeling of the SUV still driving as the snowstorm intensified against the moving cars.

"Is that so? Well.. welcome to Bagazia, again. You're receiving the warm welcome not many foreign diplomats get. Honestly.. we should've done this on Little Daeva Island. That's where the damn Embassy for everyone is at!" Daryl would smash his fist against the car door, not breaking it entirely, but enough to make him wince in pain once more.

"So.. I have a non-Arzelent in my car. Okay, well I come from Petruka - far off east of Oulu. I've mainly been.. part of the Special Operations Forces here in Bagazia. You.. know what, I think we won't even make it to the hotel. Let's.. just start here... from what I've gathered Arzelentaxmacone wants to restart relations... - explain why to me aye?"

Varant shrugged. “I don’t know, honestly. Bagazia has always been a friend of our nation and we just want to keep that up, I suppose, except now with Olaf as President we need to officially reinforce that formal alliance. As for an eventual goal, we hope to sign some sort of agreement and continue to work together in the GSC.”

“Well, I am a little Arzelent, I suppose. My maternal side is Arzelent, but not my paternal side, but I’m more Armenian than anything. Plus, I was born in Yerevan and moved to Arz when I was 2.”

He continued to watch the other man with a curious sense of concern, occasionally wondering whether he should ask if he was alright but deciding against doing so.

The Old Passage-10:13 PM



The SUVs would suddenly halt, with the sound of a honk being heard from outside. The window would be pulled down, the security guard driving soon speaking. "The Snowstorm is too much to handle, we have to stop here. We'll get moving when it lessens. G'day." He would soon roll up the window, leaving Varant and Daryl to speak once more. Even as the black-tinted windows we used as cover, they could both still see the road - forests being drawn alongside it aswell.

Image
SUV stops in the middle of the road - Stranded
As Daryl would listen to both of them, he would made his verdict. Relieving some of the pressure being put on his leg, resting his right arm onto the armrest. Slumping down onto the chair, no water nor food was there in the car. The window would soon roll down again, before a tossed bottle of Champagne was thrown to the backseat. Catching the bottle - amazingly, before leaving them alone once more. It almost sounded like a bear, growling outside the car.

Daryl would look at Varant, offering the bottle to him. "There's not cups provided so.. drink from the bottle. Also... we have no relation with GSC anymore, we aren't communists. I don't believe there's anyone there left in that assembly. And.. reinforcement.. sounds lovely. Even though you found us as allies why reach out in hopes of signing another treaty? What would it even be about? New trade, perhaps?"

“Yes, new trade, Defence pacts, that sort of thing. All necessary to keep an alliance going without the details getting hazier over time. Especially under new administration.” The man nodded, and took the bottle, awkwardly unscrewing the cap before taking a sip, shuddering as champagne flowed down his throat. It was evident by his awkwardness that he didn’t drink often.

“So, about the GSC - you’re a Co-founder, right? We can’t have you just cutting ties with us, no.. could you remain as a non-socialist nation with the same powers over the coalition? I don’t know what it will mean for the GSC if one of our founders suddenly leaves.”

Suddenly, Varant stopped speaking and fell silent, gripping his armrest as he heard the growling outside, breathing deeply. The young man was deathly afraid of animals, and not knowing which animal could be waiting for them outside of the car, his already pale face only blanched further. Gulping, he spoke in a low, quiet tone. “What the hell is that noise?”

"Good good, now give that back to me." Daryl looked at Varant, horking down the bottle before snatching it away - trying to leave some for himself. He'd notice his expression turning fearful, looking out there to check to make him feel better.

"Well you don't quite understand, there's not much here - only.. the Yakisturan!" He would lift up his arms temporary, moving into a scare position - with the goal of striking fear into Varant. Daryl would shoot him a evil smile, before going back to placing pressure on his leg.

"Oh, well that's fine. But as I said there's no diplomat there for GSC. I think it's agreeable to still be a founder, but involving ourselves in it? No, sound savvy? We can.. get started on defensive pact, surely? What are the benefits in.. that?"

The Yakisturan, a made-up myth for children to go to bed early - largely used within Bagazia.

“Ah!” He exclaimed in fear, lurching backwards and thwacking himself against the window, grunting in pain as he rubbed his head and scowled. “That wasn’t funny. I’m terrified of animals, don’t you know? Stupid things, they’re all against me.”

Shaking his head and leaning back into his seat, he shrugged.

“Well, I’m glad we’re agreed on the GSC matter. That all sounds fine by me. As for the defensive pact, well.. it’s complicated. As I’m sure you’re aware by now, we’re close with Arakhkhar, but it leaves us vulnerable to a colonisation by the imperial principality. I for one fear what could happen eventually - they’re trying to increase our reliance and dependence upon Arakhkhari goods and services, which means that if they attack and seize our nation as their own, we won’t have anybody to come to our defence. In exchange for promising to protect us in the event of.. something like that happening, we can increase oil exports at a discount and remove tariffs on uranium and natural gas, as well as promising in turn to do our best if Bagazia is threatened by attack or invasion.”

Daryl would chuckle nervously, gazing at Varant before looking down to his leg. He wasn't sure if he knew or not, but guess he didn't - adjusting himself into a more comfortable position. His breath could be seen, the crisp temperature wasn't making things much easier for him to breath. Daryl would hide this in an attempt to shield himself, thinking about..

He would jump up the car seat, looking back around the interior of the car - before finally speaking to him. "Ha! HA! WELL! You see!.. We're in the same situation! If you didn't know they control Maghin Island and our population there! At this very moment they are sending garrisons to all of our cities! They control our electric grid! You think you need our help? Oh.. no I think it's very much the opposite, sir."

Daryl would see himself about to go.. not in the right mind again. Slapping himself in the face before shaking himself - looking over at Varant. "Sorry.. sorry.. no, we'd be more than willing to help." He'd grab a notebook from the door pocket, and a pen - handing it over to Varant. "Place down the Defensive Pact, but don't sign your name! Now.. what sort of uh.. trade did you want to discuss? Sorry, I lost track of what you said." 'Anastasia', he thought to himself.

Varant stared at him in confusion mixed with a sense of worry. This man was proving to be.. rather strange, and for just a second his hand closed around the door handel, the urge to get out of the car as he began shaking and yelling growing to be overpowering. But, as he settled down again, his grip on the handle loosened somewhat and he resolved to remain in the car.. for now at least. Clearing his throat awkwardly, Panosian spoke cautiously. “Are.. are you alright? Who are you referring to?”

Shaking his head, Varant answered his question. “Well, any trade is appreciated. As you know our main exports are uranium, oil, and natural gas, but we do offer more specific products for export, it just depends on what you require. What’s in demand the most in Bagazia?”

"Arakhkhar... that's the main topic of this discussion.. am I wrong? And OH sure sure... lend us some of that.. oil and gas.. please please, yes?" You could almost see his eyes almost turning red, as Daryl caressed his cheek - reminding himself of what he lost. In his own mind, he was being one of the most professional diplomat - on the other side? A lunatic. It's all he could ever think about, that one damn thing. Dropping down tears, motioning himself to almost break down infront of Varant.

"Arakhkhar... that's the main topic of this discussion.. am I wrong? And OH sure sure... lend us some of that.. oil and gas.. please please, yes?" You could almost see his eyes almost turning red, as Daryl caressed his cheek - reminding himself of what he lost. In his own mind, he was being one of the most professional diplomat - on the other side? A lunatic. It's all he could ever think about, that one damn thing. Dropping down tears, motioning himself to almost break down infront of Varant.

"..we'll offer our wood chipping industy.."

“Ah, well, I may have accidentally allowed my own opinions to seep into this discussion. Forgive me. But yes, undoubtedly Arakhkhar presents a significant threat to my nation and its future when it comes to trade and Defense. An over-reliance on Badlands goods and Defense will lead to us building a dependence on them, leaving us vulnerable to spontaneous economic collapse.”

Varant sighed, rubbing his temples before glancing back at Daryl as he almost broke down, subtly shifting away in his seat and managing to speak professionally.

“That’s agreeable. How much wood would you begin to offer? You make it sound like you’re offering the whole industry!” Varant said jokingly, chuckling but soon settling down as he stared at Daryl. “You’re not.. right?”

"..Huh? No, why would we do that?" The pain from his leg would finally feel a large release, relieving Daryl of holding it. He'd place his hand on Varant's shoulder, patting it slowly. "Er.. let's go fifteen percent. How about that?"

Daryl would look outside the window, the severity of the snowstorm wasn't loosening up. An estimate he took would be maybe another week or so.. which is something he couldn't do. "Are you writing this down!?"

“Can you do a quarter, I.e 25 percent?” Varant offered, always one to negotiate the deal most beneficial for himself. As Daryl patted his shoulder he flinched, staring out the window as the snowstorm only seemed to worsen, if anything, before snapping back to reality as Daryl spoke again. “Uh, n-no. I’ll try and make some notes now.”

Withdrawing a dog-eared notebook he hastily scrawled down the basic details of their conversation so far, jotting down a brief bullet point list.

Hearing this.. Daryl would slowly turn his head at Varant. Twitching his eye at the very sight of the man - just watching him.. throw away the other notebook with a dog-eared one and the proposition he made. He'd grab back the fallen notebook from the floor, placing it on his lap for safekeeping. Daryl would.. make a soft exhale, before exploding.

"Are you suggesting.. YOU WANT A QUARTER?! NO!... you are.. just like everyone else I say! I say! And the disrespect you give me.. with a dog-eared notebook? What sorta notebook even is that, aye!? You.. are the worst diplomat ever." Right after his screeching, he'd grab the old champagne - 'drinking' the empty bottle. Yawning, the man was tired, for some reason. Using the same words to describe himself was.. humorous.

Varant backed away as he exploded in anger, clearly uncomfortable as his eyes darted from the notebook to Daryl. “Look, I’m s-sorry, I was just suggesting. And that’s the only notebook I carry around, of course it’s going to be a little worn. That’s all a little harsh, don’t you think?..”

“We’ll settle on 15%, just.. calm down, please.”

His leg would cross over the other, slumping down the carseat more. He was feeling.. odd, Daryl couldn't tell by what. "Deal, 15%. Now.. let's discuss other things. What about a telephone line between eachother? Whenever a crisis is about to or is happening, we may call eachother."

“Sounds good, here’s my phone. You can put in your number and we’ll have a line set up.”

He handed Daryl his mobile phone with the contacts application already open, ready for him to input his own contact details so that Varant could contact him in the future. “Now that’s established, what else do you want to discuss?”

"OUR GOVERNMENTS! Damn you.. how numb are you?!" Daryl would snatch away the phone regardless, putting it in the cardoor pocket. "Keeping that there for now... and.. how about creating something between our nations... savvy?"

“I didn’t know, you should have been more specific. Give me my phone back!” Varant exclaimed angrily, leaning across him to grab his device back with a scowl. “Perhaps creating something could be good. How about a joint weapons development program? Or a space exploration program? Those could be cool.” He suggested hopefully.

Moving Gates- 10:27 PM


"...You have the right idea, I suppose. I remember, Bagazia's first motion when it was tiny was joining that Space Community the Marinians made. Why not? Let's go ahead and-" Before he could even finish, the window rolled down again. Looking behind him to spot Daryl and Varant, the guard would smile. "Snowstorm is finally going soft on us, we're leaving now. Be there in.. 12 minutes."

Daryl would... smile, while the guard rolled the window back up - the feeling of comfortable pillows all over him clogged up his mind. The car soon starting moving, the small vibration being felt across the SUV.

The SUV finally moves, it seems.
"Good.. we can get there soon. So, continuing, I have a few questions. Where? The Name? Purpose? This would be regarding Space defense or astronomy-related? That's all!" Daryl would finally start to seem.. a little normal now. The weight of being stuck in the car, and possibly snow getting inside of him wasn't best suited. After all, it was a lie. Oulu is still in the aftermath of the oil rig explosion, the air isn't good at all. Was he going crazy? Mental? That'll be answered later, Daryl thought to himself.
