The butler hands Menendez his water, then speaks up. “I suppose it’s true what they say about you Spireans. Lucky for you, I have some excellent wine to…speed the night along.”

"Thank you good sir, but i'll have to refuse, i wont drink tonight" she continues waiting.

"Thank you good sir, but i'll have to refuse, i wont drink tonight" she continues waiting.

“More for me!” Silver shouts, grabbing the wine out of the butlers hand and drinking half the bottle. Licking his lips after finishing. “This is beautiful, I must have underestimated your wine.”

King Ferrand clinks his glass with his cup and stands up. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to celebrate a historic agreement of peace. After many years of strife, Baron Lansson of Aronde,” He glances at the Baron who stands up amidst applause. The King continues. “And I have decided to throw aside any hard feelings we had for each other and come together into a new age of prosperity!
“Ah, Castle Eltemplo Masalto. The Final Sanctuary. You know, we were planning to hole up here if things went south! Hence the blast doors you might have seen when you walked in. Thankfully, though, we didn’t have to use them. 
“But enough of boring old me! This is a celebration!”

OOC: Tarov is actually a representative, not the leader of my country https://www.nationstates.net/nation=dashiki_city/detail=factbook/id=1694197

OOC: Oops, I thought it was the president or something

Princess Asteria moved up to Mr.Tormaigh and Regina Severina giving them a small nod of her head, royals don't bow. Her faithful servant follows in her shadow. Asmonidies only stepped out to give a small introduction. "May I introduce Princess Asteria second princess of the United Fair Folk Islands and fourth in line for the throne." Once he was done speaking Asmonidies stepped back into her shadow. "It is a pleasure to meet you both."

"Greeting, Tarov Tormaigh, representative of Dashiki City. It's a honor to meet you Princess Asteria." he says reaching his steel arm out for a handshake.

Princess Asteria reaches out the cloak and the top layer of her kimono are long enough to cover her hands. Even so she gently grasps his and gives it a soft but firm shake. Cybernetics are not common in UFFI so she has never seen someone with them before. Princess Asteria can't help but stare for a moment before catching herself pulling her hand back. "The United Fair Folk Islands are always happy to talk with our regional neighbors."

"Ah, we too always like to form a strong ally with other people. Friend or foe." he says, he doesn't know much about the nation they've came from other than very basic information. He notices she was surprised at the amount of cybernetics he has. "Your nation is magical, right?" he asks.

"Yes, we gain our magic from our fae blood. My own great-grandmother was a fairy. We have a large population that live on our biggest island, I would offer to show some but I did not bring any runestones with me. I'm afraid we are not as technologically advanced in the form of cybernetics though. It is something we are working to rectify through education and technological grants but the work is slow." As Princess Asteria talks Asmonidies gives Tarov glares over her shoulder ensuring he does not get to familiar with the princess.

"We're very skill with both biological and technological modification to a body." Tarov says

"I think we could work a deal out." he said "We'd like to study your nation and it's magical properties. We could offer some of out technological prowess in return. We show interest in nations like yours. We can talk about this after the party of course, as this might not be the best place to talk about a offer like this."

"Damn it, thrall! Must you make me late to every single event I attend?" Prince Beinlaus Pjotursson grumbles as he is hastily escorted to the front entrance of the manor by his servant. 

"My apologies, your greatness. In all fairness, however, I am but a mere pastry chef in Hvithaar when I was assigned by your father to replace your normal chauffer..."

Beinlaus sighs and gives the servant a cordial pat on the back, "I apologize for my outburst. This week has simply been stressful for me. Please, let your manager know that you're done early for the night, and have them fetch someone else to pick me up."

With the departure of the still embarrassed, but now grateful servant, Beinlaus entered the manor, unsure of what he was getting into or with whom he will meet.

King Ferrand clinks his glass with his cup and stands up. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to celebrate a historic agreement of peace.

“But enough of boring old me! This is a celebration!”

Prince Beinlaus enters as King Ferrand began his speech, calculatedly moving amongst the guests with as little to no disturbance as possible, neither for them or for King Ferrand. He found the bit concerning the blast doors odd, but continued along anyhow, eventually seeing two guests in conversation.

"Yes, we gain our magic from our fae blood. My own great-grandmother was a fairy. We have a large population that live on our biggest island, I would offer to show some but I did not bring any runestones with me.

"Excuse my intrusion, fine man, but I hear you speak of body modification? This is a subject that greatly interests me, for my youngest brother has a lame leg and requires a crutch to walk."

"Excuse my intrusion, fine man, but I hear you speak of body modification? This is a subject that greatly interests me, for my youngest brother has a lame leg and requires a crutch to walk."

He turns around to see the Prince "Ah, Beinlaus it must be. Honor to see you, your intrusion has been excused. We can replace his leg with a custom made steel alloy frame with advanced and adjustable strength. We can even make it out of spare Saebo steel we bought from Stigyan a while back." he explains "We just need to measure his leg and we can do it free of charge. It will just take a few weeks to get the hang of since he might stumble a bit at first and we will of coarse have to amputate the leg."

The hall is silenced by a distant boom
“Don’t worry, it’s probably just a mishap with the fireworks.” Said the butler, trying to maintain his calm and collected composure. However, the radio chatter of the guards walkie-talkies said otherwise. One such guard whispered in the Kings ear. Ferrand turns toward the Baron, infuriated. 
“I declared peace and let you into my castle as a sign of goodwill, and this is how you repay me?!” 
“I..I swear, I have no idea what happened!”
“You better not. If something else happens, you’ll see what my bad side is like.”
Alarms blare as the blast doors close. A security guard hustles to the front of the room.
“Everyone stay calm. Do not go outside. This will all be over soon.”

"We could talk later over tea perhaps. Sharing our magic with the world is one of the foundations of our beliefs, you may not be able to use it without fae blood though." Just as Princess Asteria finishes talking the loud boom goes off. Asmonidies immediately grabs her wrist pulling her behind him, she seems to disappear completely into his shadow. The man isn't just her servent but also her body guard.

A helicopter emerged from the sky, a Joslisonorian Emblem stamped on the side. Empress Ariah II dressed in a formal suit was copiloting it. 
As the copter drew near, Ariah noticed something. "Riji, do you see that crowd of people down there in front of the castle?" asked the Empress. "I think I do, your Majesty," replied the pilot, Riji Simmuni. The copter landed in the fields in front of the castle. "Well. We're here."

OOC: In order for this to make sense chronologically, I’m going to say this happened in the beginning 

Also, any new people will have been there the whole time and just haven’t done anything noteworthy

"Just WHAT is going outside? We should at least know what it is so we can protect ourselves if the blast doors somehow dont survive" says Severina with a bored look.

“Apparently, one of the guards got sniped. I overheard one of the guards talking about it.” Says a man in his young thirties who looks like he’s trying to grow a mustache. “I don’t believe we’ve met. I’m Dernald, but you can call me Dern.” He rubs a bandage on his left wrist.
