[OOC] The king is dead, long live the king! [Reboot] [5/7]

[Flynn]

@Cyclone I will probably make a post tomorrow and then I'll find a way to introduce these two new buggers.

@Rithy are you still active an working on that CS of yours?

[Vec]

I'll be posting something in 7-8 hours cause it's pretty late where I live right now and I'm tired q.q

[Kho]

Didn't mean to post this here, but hey ho, it's funny anyway

It's like something right out of a modern-day Blackadder:

'The Chinese take great national pride in their Olympians, but the Rio games have not got off to a great start for Team China.

Last week, the International Sport Press Association reported that Chinese hurdler Shi Dongpeng and his camera man were robbed during an elaborate and unsavoury hoax. When the two men arrived at their hotel in Rio, a man vomited on Shi, and when Shi went to clean himself up, someone stole their belongings.

Chinese broadcaster CCTV has also complained about the Chinese flags that were used over the weekend during ceremonies at the Rio games. The small stars on the Chinese flag are supposed to all point toward the flag’s large star, but at the Rio games, the flags have small stars all pointing upward.

“The national flag is the symbol of a country. No mistakes are allowed!” CCTV declared.

To make matters worse, it was later revealed by Chinese media that the flags were manufactured in China.'

@SheriffLlama@Rithy Well, do you guys wanna introduce your own characters, or shall I do it?

[Vec]

Well, I said I'd post in 7-8 hours and I've yet to do that q.q No excuses. Well, one excuse maybe. I've been reading Light Novels non-stop for about 2 days now XD have gotten through about 800 chapters of pure text x.x but I love it.

I'd started writing my post but then forgot about it xD I'll try to think something up to leave you with, because I'll be off for a week on vacation and I don't know if I'll have reliable internet to be able to post :|

[Rithy]

@Flynn

I think you can hold off on me for now, I'm right in the middle of uni prep & startup and wanna know my schedule is clear enough before I enter :D

(don't wanna delay any of you!)

[Kho]

I'm ok with us taking it slow, have exams and stuff at the moment (it's a long story) and if we want this RP to continue we're just going to have to accept that there'll be slow bits and trust that everyone will stick around. Or at least have the decency to say if they can't continue xP

[SheriffLlama]

@Flynn I can do it. Where would be the best place to bring him in? During the meeting or wait until the morning.

[Vec]

I will leave you with this. But I guess, with the post frequency in this RP, I won't have to worry about losing much in my 5 days of absence from RPG :)

[Kho]

@Vec Arrghhh, I am slain! So much hate. Sooo much...

[Flynn]

My apologies for my long abscence. Things have been quite hectic at home. First time I get the chance to sit down behind my pc really. Tomorrow we shall continue this lovely story arc.

@SheriffLlama You can enter the meeting if you want. Write something up that a the same courier hadn't left and tells that the new adviser of Dieuporteille has arrived or something.

@Rithy Very well. Your character will be joining us -after- the council then.

[Flynn]

And we're back in business! Woo! I've also added a small extra dirty little secret to Rurik. Might clear some things up. And don't worry, I didn't just make that up on the go. It was part of his character for some longer time. I just decided to add it now.

[Kho]

I would post, but as I say, I'm busy till the end of the month, and then need to start preparation for the academic year. Expect a post from me after 30th August

[Cyclone]

The way in which Flynn directly adressed Dieuporteille made me reluctant to post immediately, though if nobody else is willing then I can make the first move.

[SheriffLlama]

Should I post next? I didn't think I should since I posted so recently, but I can if need be.

[Vec]

@SheriffLlama Well, the king specifically addressed your char and all. I doubt any other advisor would butt in while the king is questioning another...

[Cyclone]

Should I post next? I didn't think I should since I posted so recently, but I can if need be.

@SheriffLlama

Yeah, I think you should.

[SheriffLlama]

Short post is short, but it gets things done. That's all that matters amiriteoramirite?

[Flynn]

Even shorter post is shorter, but it's just a quick response to let the other guys respond. :P

[Kho]

Laxion is just sitting around thinking of that poem he read the other day right now. It goes something like:

In the jungle is a law wich marches everywhere;
a law which man ignored and has forgotten now:
Loyalty and surging doting, natural and carefree living -
no oppression or fear or betrayal or misery.

In the jungle is a law which marches in every time;
a law whose thrust was never grasped by the Son of Man -
help others- if you but knew!
what is the meaning of loving others,
what is the meaning of living in the earth without ingratitude.

Beware:
don't betray -
use your mind a little more.
Alone you are a youthful branch,
but the group is an unyielding stick!

So don't mind him :)
