Eolinius wipes his forehead by putting an end to his report. Since attending the assemblies, he had never seen anything like this before. More than 4 hours of discussion to get there!
For the first time as a substitute Taliar, he will remember it for a long time. He seals the report and hangs it to a express izam by saying: Governor Ailan Mac' Kean

Nair Neira confirms to Governor Ailan Mac'Kean that she’s still running for the title of Taliar and Tryker Ambassador to the Matis.
The Taliar Chanchey asks questions about the wooden emblem that Nair Neira proudly wears on her. She replies that it is the emblem of the black circle. Surprised, the Taliar Chanchey reminds that the black circle is the symbol of the clan behind Still Wyler's murder. Nair Neira replies that she is grateful to those who have helped her, but that she remains faithful to the Federation.
Deputy Taliar Eolinius takes the floor and asks Nair Neira, who speaks a lot about the Matis, to explain her motivations and what she thinks she will do as an ambassador to help the Federation. Nair Neira takes him high and answers freshly that anything that is good for the Matis is good for the Federation.
After several hours of sustained discussion, the vote is finally taking place.
For the title of Taliar: 1 vote for, 1 vote against
For the position of ambassador: 1 vote against, 1 vote for
No majority for the 2 positions
As Governor Ailan Mac'Kean was about to move on to another subject, Nair Neira violently goes after Governor Ailan Mac'Kean and creates an incident. Deputy Taliar Eolinius, followed by Taliar Chanchey must intervene. The Taliar Chanchey manages to control and take Nair Neira away from the assembly.
Governor Ailan Mac'Kean, regaining a little calm, says she doesn't understand why the subject of the Federal market is causing so much upheaval. She asks the Deputy Taliar Eolinius whose Crya possess the outpost to explain the purpose of this market. Deputy Taliar Eolinius recalls that it is out of the question with this market to favour such or such guild as certain suggests, but of sharing the fruits of the OutPost with the Trykeri and other nations under the Federation's motto of equality. It will also be an opportunity to re-establish the Lakes as a commercial hub, and above all to celebrate with many attractions planned.
Ambassador Matis Nilstilar exposes his fears about this market. He stresses that nothing good comes out of the interference between guild and nation affairs. In addition, he finds that there are more important things to do than enrichment and fun.
Governor Ailan Mac'Kean was about to close the assembly when Taliar Chanchey and Nair Neira suddenly reappeared. Taliar Chanchey said he had changed his position and wanted to restart the vote. Nair Neira is always so vindictive. After another round of heated discussions, Governor Ailan Mac'Kean says there’s no reason to deny the title of Taliar to someone who fulfils the conditions and complies with the laws, but asks for the opinion of her Taliari.
New vote:
For the title of Taliar: 2 votes for
For the position of ambassador: 1 vote for, 1 vote against
Nair Naira is named Taliar
In spite of her nomination, Nair Neira doesn't mind, she wants the two titles or nothing at all.
Governor Ailan Mac'Kean, in his great wisdom, reminds her that she may not be missing much to become a very good ambassador, but that there is one important thing she needs to learn: to fully trust the Federation.
Nair Neira goes away furious saying she officially resigns as mayor and citizen of the Federation.
Governor Ailan Mac' Kean can finally close the meeting.
TRYKA MEER SELLA !
Eolinius bows to Ailan Mac'Kean in a most courtly manner
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Lordoy!
Selair bows to Ailan Mac'Kean in a most courtly manner.
Savisi bows to Ailan Mac'Kean in a most courtly manner.
Krill looks for the beer barrel: Toub. No barrel..
After the usual greetings from the assembly ….
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Let's start!
Neira says : Banarc... eh, Lordoy Nil, nice you could make it.
Nilstilar smiling : Deles silam, Nair'Neira
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Who will be clerck for this assembly?
Eolinius raises his hand
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Grytt Nair-Eolinius.
Eolinius says : Nair-Kyriann apologizes for her absence
Naveruss wonders where Ailan's fork is
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Ah, I thought you were asking to be the assembly clerk. Lor... grytt for the information, and I still assign you to write the report of the assembly!
Ailan Mac'Kean smiles.
Eolinius smiles: Oy, I agree to be the assembly clerk
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Nair-Neira, are you renewing your application to become Taliar?
Neira hands a parchment she hid under her sleeves to Nilstilar
Nilstilar takes the parchment.
Nilstilar reads carefully Neira's words to the...: Jena!
Ailan Mac'Kean says : And so did you take any matis diplomacy lessons?
Neira stands up, majestically slowly, just to correct the fit of her attire. On the belt that crests her skirt hangs on the left a wooden emblem showing quite openly the black circled Coat of Arms
Logh is distracted by his pretty neighours
Neira says : I again request to be appointed both as Taliar as well as ambassador for His Royal Higness Verdant Heights.
Chanchey looks over to Neira but most of the time he observes Nilstilar.
Neira says : My knowledge and execution of matis noble customs is, as Ser Thorec will surely confirm, quite remarkable.
Nilstilar takes a look at Neira.
Logh really enjoys Neira's soft voice
Nilstilar nods : I confirm, yes.
Kline smiles at Savisi
Chanchey squints his eyes a bit trying to take a better a look at the symbol on her belt.
Ailan Mac'Kean is surprised by the impressive change in Neira's behavior.
Kline is too ...
Logh really enjoys Neira's soft voice
Nilstilar says : So good knowledge that Nair'Neira knows also how to startle a Karan! *smiles*
Nilstilar quietly to Neira: Did you get an answer to that?
Neira turns her head to Nilstilar and answers just as quietly: Not yet, to my sadness. I hoped to've an answer before the current meeting.
Neira catches Chancheys ambitions at the edge of her view, figures out where he's looking and turns a bit to the right, so the emblem is more visible to him
Savisi hears carefully …
Ailan Mac'Kean says : So Ambassador Nilstilar, do you support her candidacy as Ambassador to the Kingdom?
Nilstilar says : I do, Nair'Governor, I do.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Grytt. (Thank you / Merci)
Savisi bows to Chanchey, whispering into his ear
Chanchey lifts an eyebrow and tries to purse his lips like Salazar does it all the time but he's simply not as skilled in this like Ser Caradini.
Nilstilar raise a hand
Neira realizes Nilstilars gesture and gestures herself for him to wait until the govenor made a decision
Neira whispers down: Wait just a moment, please.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Taliar Chanchey, Deputy Taliar Eolinius, you will have to vote for his two applications: as Taliar, and as Ambassador to the Kingdom.
Nilstilar quietly to Neira: So fast a decision, indeed?
Chanchey says : Hmm, I might have a question before.
Neira says : Shoot.
Nilstilar quietly to Neira: Was raising hand for asking to be informed as soon as the decision will be made. *smiles*
Ailan Mac'Kean listens.
Chanchey says : I mean, I know you for many years but I think I never actually asked you about this symbol.
Chanchey points at Neira's belt.
Chanchey says : What's to know about it?
Neira looks down her skirt and turns the wooden emblem in her hand: This one?
Chanchey says : Yes.
Neira says : Got it from Chief Codgan quite early past in the times I can still remember. It's a tribe symbol.
Chanchey says : Isn't it the Black Circle?
Neira says : I can tell you the whole story if you wish to know, at the bar later. To cut it short, yes. That's the Black Circles Coat of Arms.
Selair murmurs: Black circle, Black circle, Where did I hear about it ?
Chanchey says : But you do realize that the Black Circle is responsible for the assassination of Still Wyler?
Neira says : Codgans homins been the first ones I encountered that actually helped me settle here in the New Lands. And yes, I'm well aware of that fact.
Neira says : Doesn't change the fact that they're the reason I walk this lands.
Nilstilar quietly: Faithful lady…
Neira says : I don't need to share their doings and ideas, but I'm thankful for all they did ... for me.
Chanchey says : But you don't feel any responsibility for them? Like... if Codgan would ask you a favor?
Neira says : Depends on the favour, I guess.
Neira says : I'd also not do everything for you, despite your vast efforts in supporting me during my past times.
Savisi bows to Chanchey, whispering in his ear again …
Neira says : So, it really comes down to what he, or you, or anyone else, asks from me.
Chanchey says : Yes but you can imagine why I'm asking. The Black Circle is kind of an enemy of the Federation and it casts a strange light on things when someone who is friends with that tribe has an official position within the Federation, you know?
Naveruss isn't sure she understands everything
Rest assured, you know parts of my history, I'd never do anything to purposefully harm the Federation.
Neira says : You homins took me in after all I did. I don't have words for my gratitude really.
Neira says : Apart from all that, I am technically mayor of Windermeer already.
Chanchey says : Hmm okay, grytt.
Neira says : Hey, if you've more questions or want to delve deeper into all of this, I'll invite you to a drink and we can talk.
Logh like hominas who have both beauty and high
Krill translates: Eolinius raises his hand
Ailan Mac'Kean looks at Chanchey and Eolinius.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Nair-Eolinius?
Neira interrupts: One more thing.
Neira says : Chanchey.,,
Chanchey says : Oy?
Ailan Mac'Kean frowns.
Eolinius has still his hand raised: I also have a question to ask
Neira says : Should my gratitude to Codgan be a reason for why I'm not trusted within the Federation, then I'll gladly accept that. I rather stay true in my thankfulness to those that brought me to where I'm now than to betray their efforts in supporting me just for some prestige.
Neira says : Same goes for you, Chanchey. I'd rathar be expelled from the Federation than ever talk bad about what you've done for me.
Nilstilar quietly: Proud Lady.
Nilstilar quietly: The Karan will like her, I bet...
Chanchey smiles a bit and nods.
Savisi Savisi smiles
Selair looks expectantly at Eolinius
Neira says : Excuse me interrupting this Trykers *points at Elonius* request of attendance.
Nilstilar quietly: Polite Lady
Eolinius: Nair-Neira seems to talk a lot about the Matis since the beginning…
Eolinius: But what Nair-Neira think about the Federation?
Eolinius: And what does she plan to do for useful things as ambassadress?
Neira turns to Eolinius: You can have my generic answer now, or my honest answer once I'm officially allowed to voice my own thoughts at this assembly, which requires me to count as a Taliar.
Neira says : As this isn't the National assembly, I'm in no right to speak openly about my concerns and feelings. Except governor MacKean asks for it.
Krill has never felt restricted in expressing her opinions anywhere, especially not when she can tease officials…
Nilstilar queietly: Lady of protocol.
Neira turns to the governor: Allowance to speak openly?
Eolinius looks at Ailian: I'm sure the governor will be very happy to hear about it
Ailan Mac'Kean nods.
Nilstilar quietly to Neira: Be careful, though…
Neira says : First of all, I'm the mayor of Windermeer. So you'll, regardless of my status as Taliar or not, talk to me with the required respect.
Neira says : It's a means of customs and you hopefully should be aware of how to do this when you're going to request it from me.
Nilstilar looks up to heaven: Susceptible Lady.
Naveruss finds it turns interesting, despite her being sober
Eolinius frowns: I don't think I were impolite with you. Moreover, you're the one applying for ambassy, not me
Logh thinks that all this will end with a battle of barrels flying all over
Neira says : Next on the list is, that I'm more concerned about the Federation than the Verdant Heights. Apart from that, contrary to your simple mind eventually, I do know how to deal with the Matis people so we actually can get things settled and done.
Neira says : We're all under the grace of the Karavan and we don't want to upset their first-chosen by improper means.
Nilstilar nods in agreement.
Neira says : You wanted my honest opinion? What's good for them, is good for us. And what's good for us, should be good for them. It's a mutual understanding that we're the nations, despite Kami cells, that're blessed by -her- *she stressed that word quite importantly* grace and mercy.
Naveruss laughs
Neira says : And to be brutally honest with you, your recent request of a, quote "federal outpost", is endangering the peace between the Matis and Tryker homins. Especially when leading figures of your guild promote, with the governor backing it seems, the punishment of Trykers not following your ideas of how what's in your possession right now should be handled and defended.
Nilstilar quietly: Pious Lady
Logh has the feeling that the Matis is also in love
Neira says : So by all means, you're a disgrace to the Federation by covering up your own intentions for benefitting yourselves behind our valued attributes of equality, brotherhood and sharing.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Taliar and Deputy Taliar, are you ready to vote?
Neira says : There, you wanted my honest opinion, here it is. Deal with it.
Nilstilar quietly: Reckless Lady *smiles*
Chanchey leans over to Savisi and says with a low voice: Maybe we're all better off when she's drunk during meetings.
Neira says : Any more questions?
Eoliniuis coughs: I believe you understood nothing about the project of federal outpost
Selair whispers to Chanchey: Should I go down to the bar and fetch her a beer ?
To answer your question more direcly…
Savisi leans to Chanchey, whispering in his ear again
Neira says : My concern is the Federation, not yours, not anyone else wellbeing
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Please time is running! It's time to move to the vote!
Neira nods towards governor Mac'Kean and fits her attire again, facing towards the one in command
Ailan Mac'Kean says : First, are you for or against the nomination of Neira as Taliar?
Chanchey says : Sorry to interrupt again but I'm not sure if I heard correctly about an answer from the Karan?
Neira says : What?
Logh's head starts to turn
Chanchey says : I may not have heard correctly or not paying attention enough…
Neira says : Please, very estimated Taliar Breggan. Explain your train of thoughts
Nilstilar looks elsewhere
Ailan Mac'Kean wonders if they will go over the first topic today.
Chanchey says : Oh for a moment I thought that you and dear ambassador Nilstilar were exchanging thoughts or informations but I could be wrong.
Neira says : We did do that, yes.
Nilstilar raise a hand
Logh: Eh, where is the pretty one, in the barrel?
Neira says : You may request more information about all this once I'm officially appointed.
Neira doesn't see what Nilstilar is doing right now, with raising his hand, so he goes unnoticed.
Selair murmurs: I am not sure if thats the sensible order, First appointment, then information
Chanchey looks at Nilstilar.
Ailan Mac'Kean sighs: Nair-Nilstilar?
Eolinius wonders when it will be voting time
Neira looks at Nilstilar: Don't jinx it before I'm appointed.
Nilstilar says : Nair Governor... The last time we saw each other here, right here, I didn't overlook the concern that the "Federal Outpost" would certainly raise in the Karan…
Logh takes a drink from his neighbour's stock
Nilstilar says : So, to answer Nair'Chancey, that was about this concern Neira and I were speaking of.
Ailan Mac'Kean sighs.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : I ask it a last time: are you ready to vote? Or would you prefer to postpone both votes to the next meeting? It is high time to move on to the following topics!
Chanchey says : I see, grytt!
Chanchey says : I have no more questions.
Nilstilar says : And, to be true, my support to Nair'Neira is in a large part, due to our converging views about this "Federal Outpost".
Krill still wonders if an ambassador speaks for himself of for his government. Politics really is boring…
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Are you for or against the nomination of Neira as Taliar?
Ailan Mac'Kean looks at Chanchey and Eolinius.
Eolinius nods: Yes she's allowed, in the name of Tryker equality, to stand up for her opinions, if she fills all the requirements to be a Taliar
Eolinius vote yes
Chanchey says : At this moment I would like to vote for no. I can explain later.
Neira says : Explain now.
Neira says : You, of all homins, why would you oppose it?
Neira says : You voted for me the last time, what changed?
Chanchey says : I will vote yes for your job as ambassador. I think it's a good test to see how you perform there.
Neira says : And why not as Taliar?
Neira says : I do fulfill all the requirements.
Neira says : I'm mayor and with your vote, I'll be ambassador. What makes you deny my position as Taliar?
Eolinius looks at Neira: Wait a minute, we still haven't voted about the ambassador position
Nilstilar quietly to Neira: One step at a time, Nair…
Chanchey says : For me, the title as a taliar has to do with being an honor, it's like an... reward for service to the people. And being ambassador is a service. First service, then honor.
Neira hisses at Nilstiar: No.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Are you for or against the appointment of Neira as Ambassador to the Kingdom?
Chanchey says : I'm for an appointment.
Eolinius shakes his head: No, it's out of the question to nominate as ambassadress someone who's of such bad faith... She did not convince me about her vision of the Federation
Neira says : Let’s talk about my Taliar status first.
Neira says : Chanchey. I'm not up for your games.
Neira really hisses this at governor Mac'Kean
Naveruss would enjoy it if all this ended in a pool of blood
Neira reaches down to Nilstilar: Hand me that parchment.
says : Are you sure?
Neira says : Yes, give it to me. It's just Chanchay.
Nilstilar hands the parchment to Neira: So, let it be.
Neira says : I'm not going to make compromises here. *obviously aimed at Nilstilar, but loud enough to be heard by everybody*
Neira walks over to Chanchey
Neira presses, once there, the parchment against his chest to take it
Chanchey grabs the parchment and starts to read it quickly.
Naveruss doesn't understand anything anymore
Neira says : I fought for the Federation. I fought for you. I assisted your guild and your mates. I was there, when nobody else could assist them. I always supported you. I appreciate your support to appoint me as ambassador, but tell me... what's your objection to my position as Taliar? I can already overrule your statements as elected mayor, you know?
Neira takes the parchment back and drills her looks into Chanchey
Chanchey says : I said it already. I want to see your performance as an ambassador. It's something different than doing stuff in Windermeer. It's the next level.
Chanchey says : So that's all really.
Neira says : And what makes you perform better at this than I could possibly do?
Kline looks with appreciation at Chanchey
Neira says : You don't have to run a city, you don't have to balance diplomacies.
Neira says : What makes you worth more to judge this than me?
Neira says : Out of all homins, you've been the last one I expected to act like this. I'm really disappointed in you, I really am.
Kline is thinking that Neira is jumping to conclusions too fast
Neira turns away and walks back to Nilstilar
Krill thinks that Windermeer Kard'al seems to be as inefficient as Avendale's one if they need a mayor over there to run things
Selair sits down and relaxed more and more as Neira moves away
Chanchey says : Well I can't help it then. As I said: for now it's a no to Taliar and a yes to ambassador.
Neira says : Governor Mac'Kean. I'd like to withdraw my application as Taliar, yet keep me request to be appointed ambassador for his Royal Highness gem.
Chanchey says : This can change until the next or the assembly afterwards.
Eolinius looks at the governor and raises his hand
Neira says : For the record, I'll not request Taliar position again, as the objection of Taliar Chanchey is a personal betrayal to me.
Kline is looking forward for the next assembly
Logh: We could all vote!
Naveruss: It's impossible to find an agreement?
Eolinius: Well, there are two of us voting, and there's no majority. I require that the votes are postponed
Nilstilar quietly: Doesn't the Governor have the right to vote, Nair?
Neira whispers down to Nilstilar: Old hag Ailan can overrule the Taliar, yes. But she won't.
Nilstilar smiles.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : It is time to continue the assembly with the next topic. I hope that next time there will be 3 Taliari, and therefore the votes will no longer be tied.
Neira says : Fuck this.
Neira says : Fuck all of you.
Neira says : I'm out.
Neira wanders off
Kline thinks that the history is repeating
Chanchey watches Neira leaving.
Naveruss finds there is a serious lack in discipline
Logh: It's a very sad story, such a beautiful homina...
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Is there... another application to become Taliar?
Savisi shakes his head sadly.
Eolinius sighs: Fuck this... Nice proof of diplomacy...
Naveruss would really have enjoyed seeing Neira diplomaticate with the orksos
Logh: It was probably not what she meant to say
Neira stomps back in right towards Ailan
Neira says : Oy, old hag. *gives her the parchment* Read this. And pray to Jena I won't feel like actually messing you up any more.
Selair says : She has not heard about the proverb: A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.
Neira says : So you better appoint me now to speak in the Federations cause, or you'll have me speak on my own. Whatever you prefer. And yes, that's an ultimatum.
Neira says : I'm sick of this crap.
Eolinius gets up and interposes between Neira and the governor
Eolinius: You, you don't talk like that to the governor!
Neira hisses at Eolinius: Fuck off or I'll wreck you right in this instant.
Kline is very curious how she'll do that !!!
Ailan Mac'Kean shouts : Please calm down!
Neira shouts : Read this and pray to Jena the Karan will have mercy with you, old hag.
Neira says : I'm sick of the games this Federation plays.
Ailan Mac'Kean takes the parchment.
Naveruss also gets up
Naveruss: That's enough. The Karan has nothing to do here!
Logh: Eh, go away, we see nothing!
Eolinius sponges his forehead down: I believe we avoided a disaster with this appointment
Depyraken just desperately tries to reach the barrel
Chanchey also stands up and interposes himself
Chanchey says : Come on, Neira, let's go.
Chanchey tries to grab her and put her over the shoulder.
Neira shouts : No. You get lost!
Naveruss thinks she'll knock Neira out
Nilstilar wonders why the ktheros interferes...
Chanchey tries to carry her downstairs for a talk without *falling* down the stairs.
Ailan Mac'Kean reads the parchment.
Nilstilar quietly: The Delights of Democracy...
Logh to Nilstilar: Psst, save the barrel if there's punch-up
Nilstilar to Logh, laughing: I'll do my best.
Nilstilar wonders why the ktheros interferes...
Ailan Mac'Kean opens her eyes wide when reading.
Neira shouts: I'll not take this. The Karavan will know about all of this, the Karan will know about all of this! *all whilst still defending herself against Chanchey, who seems to overpower her*
Selair murmurs: I think I get myself a beer before they spill it
Chanchey tries to put her over his shoulder, carrying her out.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Neira, I think I understand your motivations. I also see that you have made great progress in Matis diplomacy, but you still have a lot to learn in tryker diplomacy.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Instead of reporting this federal outpost case to the Karan, you should have come back today to discuss it here.
Krill finally finds something interesting in politics
Neira throws and opposes Chanchey moves, but can't hold herself up against it
Neira shouts : I'll make you pay!
Chanchey says : Don't say anything stupid now, Neira!
Chanchey says : Ok, too late...
Neira shouts : Screw you! I'll make them all pay! The Karavan shall be victorious. All hail to Jena! *as she gets dragged off by Chanchey*
Chanchey carries her downstairs.
Kline hungry and tired
Eolinius comes back to sit down and looks at Krill who dived into the barrel
Ailan Mac'Kean explains
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Neira wrote to the Karan about her fears about the federal outpost.
Nilstilar raise a hand
Selair searches his pockets, finds some cockies and presents them to Kline
Kline taking them and looking thankfully to Selair
Ailan Mac'Kean says : She asks for her oral intervention to make us listen to reason.
Eolinius sighs: All this for a marked dedicated to sharing...
Selair murmurs: I wonder where Chanchey is. Maybe he needs a rescue.
Naveruss wonders how an intervention by the Karan would matter
Ailan Mac'Kean says : There are far too many topics on the agenda to finish them today, and I think we need to rethink this incident.
Eolinius nods
Nilstilar raise a hand
Kline thinks that every time the guardian shows up it will be Chanchey
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Is there another topic you want to talk about today? Or would you prefer a full postponement to the next meeting?
Naveruss raises her hand
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Nair-Ambassador Nilstilar ?
Savisi murmurs: I wonder where Selair is ... maybe it's better to look at.
Nilstilar says : As it appears I will be alone during the next Matis Noble assembly to speak about the Federal Outpost, do you have, Governor, a message you wish me to transmit the Karan in order to defend the decision you took last time?
Nilstilar says : Or will the Federation appoint an ambassador before that assembly?
Ailan Mac'Kean says : I don't understand why a topic in progress, intended for sharing, is causing so much trouble.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : This topic should have been continued today. And all would have been listened to.
Nilstilar says : "Sharing" is a new idea, maybe, out of the Refuge *smiles*
Eolinius: A new idea? It's the Federation motto!
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Nair-Eolinius, do you want to speak as a representative of the Crya who holds the famous outpost?
Eolinius: The role of the market is not to extend our power as Nair... Neira suggested it
Eolinius: But to share with all the Trykeri... and the other nations, the fruits of the outpost
Logh just notices how the Governor hairstyle suits her
Eolinius: It will in the same time give back to the Lakes their role of great economical center
Eolinius: Well... Maybe I get ahead of myself there...
Eolinius: And it will be the opportunity to party, with attractions
Naveruss raises her hand
Ailan Mac'Kean waits Eolinius has done before to get the floor to Naveruss.
Eolinius looks at Naveruss: Do you have questions?
Krill says : Oy. When can we go to the bar?
Naveruss: Could we hear the arguments of all the ones who oppose the federal market? Just to understand and move on, instead of shouting everywhere like bodocs?
Logh finds that Naveruss gives of an attracting animality
Nilstilar raise a hand
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Nair-Nilstilar?
Naveruss throws a heavy glare at Nilstliar
Nilstilar says : May I argue, Nair Governor?
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Oy, you can.
Nilstilar says : So. My first argument comes from my old age : I never saw something good coming from interferences between guilds' business and Nation's affairs.
Nilstilar says : Second is my personal defiance towards the Powers when it comes to Outposts.
Eolinius: Hmmm, I believe though that it existed by the time of Nymphea
Nilstilar to Eolinius: It does exist, yes. But it doesn't last. Greed is far stronger than mottos.
Eolinius smiles when seeing Kyriann
Logh looks at the sky, dreaming at the good bath he'll have before his nap...
Kyriann seats noiselessly
Naveruss finds Nilstilar's arguments useless but says nothing
Nilstilar says : Third, I would say more important things are to care of before enrichment and enjoyment : this planet is still dangerous and largely unknown.
Krill finds Nilstilar dull. Of course enjoyment is more important than other things
Kline thinks Regie is too tall for Tryker buildings
Naveruss: Then of course, if the orskos still try to play sorcerer's apprentice with their changes in nature...
Nilstilar smiles thinking of the mad digging of the ktheros.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Nair-Kyriann?
Kyriann: Sorry, I'm catching partway through the talk, but I want to say I disagree with Nair-Ambassador
Naveruss smiles to Kyriann
Kyriann: There's nothing more important than party
Naveruss thinks that taking care of the dangerous things doesn't prevent to party also
Kyriann: If the wealth has to come from a well-used time and come at its time, pleasure and sharing joy are essentials
Depyraken wriggles and helps himself yet another drink
Kyriann: So, sharing time and wealth during a market... Well... It couldn't be otherwise
Kyriann smiles
Eolinius looks at Kyriann: Yes, that's what I reminded, we're highlighting the notion of sharing
Kyriann whispers: Sella! (Sharing)
Eolinius coughs and has almost no paper left for taking notes
Nilstilar smiles : Well... As expected, to preach prudence and seriousness among Trykers, is a failure
Neira shouts: You never waited for me, liar!
Naveruss: Again?
Eolinus: What?
Ailan Mac'Kean says : We'll stop there for tod... What?!
Neira and Chanchey go up the stairs
Chanchey says : Sorry, governor. May I speak?
Neira stomps up the stairs and turns around the corner facing Ailan
Eolinius: No! She won't start over!
Naveruss prepares herself to act if needed
Kyriann wonders about what is going on
Neira says : Old hag, listen carefully now.
Chanchey says : Neira, please shut up... for once switch on your brain.
Chanchey shakes his head.
Ailan Mac'Kean sighs.
Regie giggles
Ailan Mac'Kean says : I was going to announce the bar round!
Neira growls in Chancheys direction
Neira hisses at Eolinius: Step back or I'll utterly smite your poor soul into an oblivion not even the Karavan can resque you from.
Naveruss: Threaten him once more and I'll break your head!
Chanchey says : I wanted to say that I'm sorry to decline Neira's application as Taliari.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Lor, okay, but only a very short moment.
Chanchey says : She has the temper of a Fyros and what she said was because I hurt her incredibly with my words.
Chanchey says : I'm sorry for that and it was my fault.
Chanchey says : I never met a Tryker with a bigger heart and we know each other for a long time.
Chanchey says : Longer than anyone...
Chanchey says : And I'm responsible for what happened here today.
Chanchey says : Neira is hot-headed, one spark and she goes boom like every good Tryker invention does.
Kyriann smiles
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Do you mean you would like to... vote again?
Neira reaches at her back and takes on her magic amplifiers
Neira says : Come at me.
Chanchey says : I don't think she will accept it.
Chanchey : Je ne crois pas qu'elle l'acceptera
Chanchey smiles : But... look at her.
Chanchey says : And we want her as one of us, I can assure you.
Neira says : I'll take on you all, even if I will lose. I'll not have it go your way.
Regie is glad he has a mask.
Neira munbles: Vote again!
Eolinius: And this want to be a Taliar and an ambassadress? We're not drunk savages around here
Chanchey says : She is savage, yes. And hurt. Which is my fault.
Depyraken thinks: Drunk maybe... Savages, no
Neira says : Vote again or I'll resign my post as mayor and leave Aeden as I promised I would to Chanchey. I'm not going to put up with your crap any longer.
Naveruss: Well, it's not that marauder behavior which will make things move along!
Neira says : And by Jena *turns her attention to Ailan* I'll make sure when I leave to get my point across someplace else.
Naveruss: You're sentencing yourself!
Ailan Mac'Kean sighs. So, do you want to vote again or go straight to the bar?
Chanchey says : Dear Ailan, if you can accept a passionate tryker lady who will be a pain your ass...
Eolinius: No, we don't vote. Neira lost her credibility all by herself
Chanchey says : but who will be honest until it hurts...
Chanchey says : who will say what she thinks...
Chanchey says : and who will drink more alcohol that is good for her...
Chanchey says : then I will vote yes for her.
Neira still talking to Ailan, it seems: I'm in a good situation with Filira Salazar, with the Dynasties Scripe Zhoi, with the Awakened Sartyrica and current ambassador Ser Thorec. I've connections to the Circle and the Kuilde and by Jena, I'll not stand being forced out the Federation by the betrayal of a few homins.
Eolinius says : the federation doesn't accept blackmail !
Chanchey says : It's okay, Eolinius. It's not blackmail...
Chanchey says : I made a mistake and don't punish her for it. Her fire burns bright and hot.
Neira says : I've gone a long enough way and I earned what I requested. I fulfill all requirements.
Savisi applauds for Chancheys decision.
Chanchey says : I can't guarantee that she won't kick your ass in the assemblies, Eolinius.
Neira says : I'm the legal mayor of Windermeer, I'm by law leading a Tryker guild, I live for and serve the Federation. Denying me the status of a Taliar is against anything our constitution states. For what? A few very special homins not agreeing?
Chanchey says : But she will do it in the name of the Federation at least....
Chanchey says : And in the name of what she thinks is the best of the people.
Neira says : I've done more for the Federation than most of them deniying me this position combined.
Neira says : What else do you want from me?
Depyraken is impatient: when are going to the bar?
Neira says : Come one, old hag, speak up. What do you want from me?
Neira obviously addressed Ailan
Chanchey says : Neira isn't easy... She went a difficult path.
Chanchey says : But she's a Tryker after all. This IS her home.
Neira says : Name your intentions and I'll make sure to fulfill them. Speak up. Be the governor you should be.
Neira growls: Don't make me question your position.
Chanchey says : And if there's one people on Atys that accepts homins with different opinions, then it's the Federation.
Kyriann nods
Regie nudges Kline and starts sneaking.
Kyriann nods
Chanchey looks at Eolinius.
Krill giggles: Maybe you should just let her speak, Neira...
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Taliar Chanchey, you'd like to give her a chance and so you are now voting for her as a Taliar and as an Ambassador?
Chanchey nods
Eolinius: Decisions have to be made in calm and serenity, as Zhan-miko would have told us.
Neira rumbles again: Want me to bring in Filiar Caradini? How about I make the Karan pay you all a visit? Will you then listen to me?
Regie offers a small bottle behind the back.
Eolinius sighs: I've never seen such an assembly
Neira confronts Eolinius with her looks: What you say. Want to deal with His Royal Highness? Feel comfortable about this?
Kyriann says : We say : no blackmailing!
Neira says : Be damn sure I'll find a way to make this your worst nightmare. You thought I was drunk before. You think I'm crazy now. But Ailan saw the parchment, Ser Thorec saw it. And I'll be damned by Jena if I won't do through with this.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : If Neira and her guild respect federal laws, I admit that there is no valid reason to deny her the title of Taliar.
Savisi applauds
Neira listens to the govenors words and inhales silently
Eolinius: I just want to mention that I voted yes before her behavior left a lot to be desired
Neira says : What is there to be desired besides me not standing by your guilds desires?
Chanchey nods to Eolinius.
Chanchey says : I understand and I guess you will have to listen some more bad words in the future.
Neira says : I freaking don't care about you, nor your guild, nor any other guild. I care about two things. The Federation and ... *bites her tongue* ... I don't think I want to mention what I feel.
Chanchey says : But you can be sure that she's honest and that she's following her heart.
Neira nudges Ailan: Give me back my parchment, please.
Chanchey says : We're Trykers. And we shouldn't close the door for someone who wants to be part of our Nation.
Chanchey says : And who wants to be with us.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : I understand the hesitation in appointing her as Ambassador today. But not those aimed at not granting her the title of Taliar.
Chanchey nods to Ailan.
Neira says : There's no hesitation in appointing me as ambassador. There's no other besides me to do what I'm capable of.
Ailan Mac'Kean reads the parchment again then gives it back to Neira.
Neira whispers to Ailan: Look, they all claim their precious status within the Federation, but none of them has the needed connections to back their words up.
Chanchey says : Neira, please let Ailan speak.
Neira takes her parchment back and stows it again in her sleeves.
Regie tacha'ka zorai-goo y mata zhan. Nodes to himself.
Neira steps back from Ailan into the arms of Chanchey: Don't you ever betray me again. I won't give you another chance.
Kyriann waits for Ailan answer
Ailan Mac'Kean says : I would like to give you the title of Taliar because I see no valid reason to refuse it to you. You fulfill the required consaysions and respect our laws.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : But I need the support of my Taliari for that.
Neira says : Acknowledged. What about the position as ambassador for His Royal Highness gem, the Verdant Heights?
Neira says : You can dismantle any assembly and overrule, by law, any decision.
Neira says : But fine, lets hear the Taliar, as it's custom.
Ailan Mac'Kean looks at the Taliari.
Chanchey returns to his place.
Kline yawns and stretch his hands and neck
Eolinius sighs: I agreed for the Taliar position but not for the one as ambassador
Regie whispers to himself again: Qi hay nékéan tacha luynu zorai-goo.
Chanchey says : I agree to both positions.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Lor. Since my Taliari follow me, Nair-Neira, I give you the title of Taliar. Congratulations.
Neira says : Two for the Taliar and one Taliar vote for the ambassador as well as Ser Thorecs vote for that, which should count for more.
Kyriann applauds after all for Neira's appointment
Neira says : I appreciate your decision, yet I'll just accept the package.
Chanchey says : She negotiates hard!
Kyriann applauds after all for Neira's appointment
Ailan Mac'Kean says : As for your application to become Ambassador to the Kingdom…
Neira interrupts Ailan: Either both or I'm gone.
Neira says : I've the kingdoms backing. No other homin can claim that for her own.
Kyriann says : No blackmail !
Eolinius looks at Kyrian and sighs
Ailan Mac'Kean says : You are the first person to apply for this role in a long time, you seem to have the necessary relationships, Ambassador Nilstilar strongly supports your application and you have learned the rules of Matis diplomacy.
Kyriann says : We live for meer and tryka
Kyriann says : We don't want to be forced to do something
Chanchey says : Krill, can you pass me over a BIG sip of shooki please? I need it more than ever before…
Krill rolls the whole barrel to Chanchey
Chanchey drowns himself in it.
Chanchey says : Take it as a hard way to negotiate, Kyriann…
Ailan Mac'Kean says : You probably don't miss much to become a very good ambassador. But you still have one thing to learn: learn to trust the Federation completely. Then she will also be able to give you all of hers and entrust you with our relationship with the Kingdom.
Kyriann says : Yep well said Ailan !
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Offer instead of demand.
Neira says : Is that your final answer?
Neira says : I offered myself two times already.
Kyriann encourages Ailan
Eolinius applauds Ailan
Neira says : And I came back to the assembly today just because of my loyalty to the Federation.
Neira says : Chanchey earlier today questioned me. Now you question me. If you don't believe in me, why should I believe in you, or the Federation? I gave you all my ambitions, my heart and my capabilities.
Neira says : I've the support of Matis nobles and the kingdoms ambassador.
Kyriann says : Perhaps you should try to gain the support of the trykers too
Neira says : I've the support of at least two Taliar, one who isn't available today though.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Trust us, put yourself on an equal footing with us, without judging us. Work with us, not just for us. Let us be free to choose. And I am certain that the votes will be unanimous in appointing you ambassador to the Kingdom.
Eolinius says : It is the Federation who should trust you for this position with the Matis
Neira says : I was to prove myself of being accustomed with matis customs, which I did, as Ser Thorec confirmed. There was no other quest.
Neira says : And I fulfilled that quest, by flying flags.
Chanchey says : Neira, the others need to get to know you.
Neira hisses at Chanchey: No.
Chanchey shouts : FUCKING YES! For ONE time swallow your pride and just be happy, holy fucking shit!
Neira says : I did already enough and just because some newcomers can't get their history facts straight, I won't bow down to their means.
Neira shouts : I DID MY PART!
Ailan Mac'Kean shouts : Please stay calm!
Chanchey says : Convince them! Others than acting like a hurt child, please!
Ailan Mac'Kean shouts : and stay polite!
Neira says : It's either both or nothing. I came back to request both positions and I won't leave with just half of it. I made myself clear enough in my conviction towards doing whatever it takes to foster the Federation.
Chanchey drinks a big sip from the shooki.
Neira says : If that's not enough, if that means I still have to magically convince some new arrivals *points at the Drakani in general* then I won't accept any of this.
Neira says : Then I won't even want to be part of this Federation anymore. Because then all of this is a joke buried within bureaucracy.
Chanchey says : You will represent the people you just pointed at. And they are Trykers.
Chanchey says : And we are a nation that votes by majority. So you have to convince the majority.
Neira says : And I'll represent them, as I do now for my fellow homins of Windermeer.
Neira says : But so far, those Trykers there aren't my Trykers. They're pretty close to what I'd call traitors because they want to shape the Federation in a way that benefits them mostly.
Neira says : But so far, those Trykers there aren't my Trykers. They're pretty close to what I'd call traitors because they want to shape the Federation in a way that benefits them mostly.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Taliar Neira, take time to think. You can get this ambassador job with a little patience. Listen to the Taliar Chanchey. Follow his advice. And I hope to see you again applying at the next assembly.
Neira says : No.
Chanchey says : Don't be stupid, Neira.
Neira says : There won't be a next assembly for me then.
Neira says : If you want to talk to me, send a letter to Yrkanis and maybe I'll open it.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Now I close this meeting. The bar awaits you for the tour offered by the Federation!
Chanchey says : You know what?
Chanchey shouts : FUCK YOU STUPID CHILD
Neira says : I officially resign my position as mayor, and as citizen of the Federation. Feel free to do whatever you like.
Neira turns away and leaves too
Eolinius raises his fist and shouts: TRYKA ! MEER ! SELLA !
For the first time as a substitute Taliar, he will remember it for a long time. He seals the report and hangs it to a express izam by saying: Governor Ailan Mac' Kean

Nair Eolinius is appointed.current affairs
Appointment of Taliar or Taliar Substitute, filling of ambassador vacancies
Nair Neira confirms to Governor Ailan Mac'Kean that she’s still running for the title of Taliar and Tryker Ambassador to the Matis.
The Taliar Chanchey asks questions about the wooden emblem that Nair Neira proudly wears on her. She replies that it is the emblem of the black circle. Surprised, the Taliar Chanchey reminds that the black circle is the symbol of the clan behind Still Wyler's murder. Nair Neira replies that she is grateful to those who have helped her, but that she remains faithful to the Federation.
Deputy Taliar Eolinius takes the floor and asks Nair Neira, who speaks a lot about the Matis, to explain her motivations and what she thinks she will do as an ambassador to help the Federation. Nair Neira takes him high and answers freshly that anything that is good for the Matis is good for the Federation.
After several hours of sustained discussion, the vote is finally taking place.
For the title of Taliar: 1 vote for, 1 vote against
For the position of ambassador: 1 vote against, 1 vote for
No majority for the 2 positions
As Governor Ailan Mac'Kean was about to move on to another subject, Nair Neira violently goes after Governor Ailan Mac'Kean and creates an incident. Deputy Taliar Eolinius, followed by Taliar Chanchey must intervene. The Taliar Chanchey manages to control and take Nair Neira away from the assembly.
Federal Market Reform
Governor Ailan Mac'Kean, regaining a little calm, says she doesn't understand why the subject of the Federal market is causing so much upheaval. She asks the Deputy Taliar Eolinius whose Crya possess the outpost to explain the purpose of this market. Deputy Taliar Eolinius recalls that it is out of the question with this market to favour such or such guild as certain suggests, but of sharing the fruits of the OutPost with the Trykeri and other nations under the Federation's motto of equality. It will also be an opportunity to re-establish the Lakes as a commercial hub, and above all to celebrate with many attractions planned.
Ambassador Matis Nilstilar exposes his fears about this market. He stresses that nothing good comes out of the interference between guild and nation affairs. In addition, he finds that there are more important things to do than enrichment and fun.
Nair Neira’s return
Governor Ailan Mac'Kean was about to close the assembly when Taliar Chanchey and Nair Neira suddenly reappeared. Taliar Chanchey said he had changed his position and wanted to restart the vote. Nair Neira is always so vindictive. After another round of heated discussions, Governor Ailan Mac'Kean says there’s no reason to deny the title of Taliar to someone who fulfils the conditions and complies with the laws, but asks for the opinion of her Taliari.
New vote:
For the title of Taliar: 2 votes for
For the position of ambassador: 1 vote for, 1 vote against
Nair Naira is named Taliar
In spite of her nomination, Nair Neira doesn't mind, she wants the two titles or nothing at all.
Governor Ailan Mac'Kean, in his great wisdom, reminds her that she may not be missing much to become a very good ambassador, but that there is one important thing she needs to learn: to fully trust the Federation.
Nair Neira goes away furious saying she officially resigns as mayor and citizen of the Federation.
Governor Ailan Mac' Kean can finally close the meeting.
TRYKA MEER SELLA !
Eolinius bows to Ailan Mac'Kean in a most courtly manner
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Lordoy!
Selair bows to Ailan Mac'Kean in a most courtly manner.
Savisi bows to Ailan Mac'Kean in a most courtly manner.
Krill looks for the beer barrel: Toub. No barrel..
After the usual greetings from the assembly ….
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Let's start!
Neira says : Banarc... eh, Lordoy Nil, nice you could make it.
Nilstilar smiling : Deles silam, Nair'Neira
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Who will be clerck for this assembly?
Eolinius raises his hand
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Grytt Nair-Eolinius.
Eolinius says : Nair-Kyriann apologizes for her absence
Naveruss wonders where Ailan's fork is
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Ah, I thought you were asking to be the assembly clerk. Lor... grytt for the information, and I still assign you to write the report of the assembly!
Ailan Mac'Kean smiles.
Eolinius smiles: Oy, I agree to be the assembly clerk
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Nair-Neira, are you renewing your application to become Taliar?
Neira hands a parchment she hid under her sleeves to Nilstilar
Nilstilar takes the parchment.
Nilstilar reads carefully Neira's words to the...: Jena!
Ailan Mac'Kean says : And so did you take any matis diplomacy lessons?
Neira stands up, majestically slowly, just to correct the fit of her attire. On the belt that crests her skirt hangs on the left a wooden emblem showing quite openly the black circled Coat of Arms
Logh is distracted by his pretty neighours
Neira says : I again request to be appointed both as Taliar as well as ambassador for His Royal Higness Verdant Heights.
Chanchey looks over to Neira but most of the time he observes Nilstilar.
Neira says : My knowledge and execution of matis noble customs is, as Ser Thorec will surely confirm, quite remarkable.
Nilstilar takes a look at Neira.
Logh really enjoys Neira's soft voice
Nilstilar nods : I confirm, yes.
Kline smiles at Savisi
Chanchey squints his eyes a bit trying to take a better a look at the symbol on her belt.
Ailan Mac'Kean is surprised by the impressive change in Neira's behavior.
Kline is too ...
Logh really enjoys Neira's soft voice
Nilstilar says : So good knowledge that Nair'Neira knows also how to startle a Karan! *smiles*
Nilstilar quietly to Neira: Did you get an answer to that?
Neira turns her head to Nilstilar and answers just as quietly: Not yet, to my sadness. I hoped to've an answer before the current meeting.
Neira catches Chancheys ambitions at the edge of her view, figures out where he's looking and turns a bit to the right, so the emblem is more visible to him
Savisi hears carefully …
Ailan Mac'Kean says : So Ambassador Nilstilar, do you support her candidacy as Ambassador to the Kingdom?
Nilstilar says : I do, Nair'Governor, I do.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Grytt. (Thank you / Merci)
Savisi bows to Chanchey, whispering into his ear
Chanchey lifts an eyebrow and tries to purse his lips like Salazar does it all the time but he's simply not as skilled in this like Ser Caradini.
Nilstilar raise a hand
Neira realizes Nilstilars gesture and gestures herself for him to wait until the govenor made a decision
Neira whispers down: Wait just a moment, please.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Taliar Chanchey, Deputy Taliar Eolinius, you will have to vote for his two applications: as Taliar, and as Ambassador to the Kingdom.
Nilstilar quietly to Neira: So fast a decision, indeed?
Chanchey says : Hmm, I might have a question before.
Neira says : Shoot.
Nilstilar quietly to Neira: Was raising hand for asking to be informed as soon as the decision will be made. *smiles*
Ailan Mac'Kean listens.
Chanchey says : I mean, I know you for many years but I think I never actually asked you about this symbol.
Chanchey points at Neira's belt.
Chanchey says : What's to know about it?
Neira looks down her skirt and turns the wooden emblem in her hand: This one?
Chanchey says : Yes.
Neira says : Got it from Chief Codgan quite early past in the times I can still remember. It's a tribe symbol.
Chanchey says : Isn't it the Black Circle?
Neira says : I can tell you the whole story if you wish to know, at the bar later. To cut it short, yes. That's the Black Circles Coat of Arms.
Selair murmurs: Black circle, Black circle, Where did I hear about it ?
Chanchey says : But you do realize that the Black Circle is responsible for the assassination of Still Wyler?
Neira says : Codgans homins been the first ones I encountered that actually helped me settle here in the New Lands. And yes, I'm well aware of that fact.
Neira says : Doesn't change the fact that they're the reason I walk this lands.
Nilstilar quietly: Faithful lady…
Neira says : I don't need to share their doings and ideas, but I'm thankful for all they did ... for me.
Chanchey says : But you don't feel any responsibility for them? Like... if Codgan would ask you a favor?
Neira says : Depends on the favour, I guess.
Neira says : I'd also not do everything for you, despite your vast efforts in supporting me during my past times.
Savisi bows to Chanchey, whispering in his ear again …
Neira says : So, it really comes down to what he, or you, or anyone else, asks from me.
Chanchey says : Yes but you can imagine why I'm asking. The Black Circle is kind of an enemy of the Federation and it casts a strange light on things when someone who is friends with that tribe has an official position within the Federation, you know?
Naveruss isn't sure she understands everything
Rest assured, you know parts of my history, I'd never do anything to purposefully harm the Federation.
Neira says : You homins took me in after all I did. I don't have words for my gratitude really.
Neira says : Apart from all that, I am technically mayor of Windermeer already.
Chanchey says : Hmm okay, grytt.
Neira says : Hey, if you've more questions or want to delve deeper into all of this, I'll invite you to a drink and we can talk.
Logh like hominas who have both beauty and high
Krill translates: Eolinius raises his hand
Ailan Mac'Kean looks at Chanchey and Eolinius.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Nair-Eolinius?
Neira interrupts: One more thing.
Neira says : Chanchey.,,
Chanchey says : Oy?
Ailan Mac'Kean frowns.
Eolinius has still his hand raised: I also have a question to ask
Neira says : Should my gratitude to Codgan be a reason for why I'm not trusted within the Federation, then I'll gladly accept that. I rather stay true in my thankfulness to those that brought me to where I'm now than to betray their efforts in supporting me just for some prestige.
Neira says : Same goes for you, Chanchey. I'd rathar be expelled from the Federation than ever talk bad about what you've done for me.
Nilstilar quietly: Proud Lady.
Nilstilar quietly: The Karan will like her, I bet...
Chanchey smiles a bit and nods.
Savisi Savisi smiles
Selair looks expectantly at Eolinius
Neira says : Excuse me interrupting this Trykers *points at Elonius* request of attendance.
Nilstilar quietly: Polite Lady
Eolinius: Nair-Neira seems to talk a lot about the Matis since the beginning…
Eolinius: But what Nair-Neira think about the Federation?
Eolinius: And what does she plan to do for useful things as ambassadress?
Neira turns to Eolinius: You can have my generic answer now, or my honest answer once I'm officially allowed to voice my own thoughts at this assembly, which requires me to count as a Taliar.
Neira says : As this isn't the National assembly, I'm in no right to speak openly about my concerns and feelings. Except governor MacKean asks for it.
Krill has never felt restricted in expressing her opinions anywhere, especially not when she can tease officials…
Nilstilar queietly: Lady of protocol.
Neira turns to the governor: Allowance to speak openly?
Eolinius looks at Ailian: I'm sure the governor will be very happy to hear about it
Ailan Mac'Kean nods.
Nilstilar quietly to Neira: Be careful, though…
Neira says : First of all, I'm the mayor of Windermeer. So you'll, regardless of my status as Taliar or not, talk to me with the required respect.
Neira says : It's a means of customs and you hopefully should be aware of how to do this when you're going to request it from me.
Nilstilar looks up to heaven: Susceptible Lady.
Naveruss finds it turns interesting, despite her being sober
Eolinius frowns: I don't think I were impolite with you. Moreover, you're the one applying for ambassy, not me
Logh thinks that all this will end with a battle of barrels flying all over
Neira says : Next on the list is, that I'm more concerned about the Federation than the Verdant Heights. Apart from that, contrary to your simple mind eventually, I do know how to deal with the Matis people so we actually can get things settled and done.
Neira says : We're all under the grace of the Karavan and we don't want to upset their first-chosen by improper means.
Nilstilar nods in agreement.
Neira says : You wanted my honest opinion? What's good for them, is good for us. And what's good for us, should be good for them. It's a mutual understanding that we're the nations, despite Kami cells, that're blessed by -her- *she stressed that word quite importantly* grace and mercy.
Naveruss laughs
Neira says : And to be brutally honest with you, your recent request of a, quote "federal outpost", is endangering the peace between the Matis and Tryker homins. Especially when leading figures of your guild promote, with the governor backing it seems, the punishment of Trykers not following your ideas of how what's in your possession right now should be handled and defended.
Nilstilar quietly: Pious Lady
Logh has the feeling that the Matis is also in love
Neira says : So by all means, you're a disgrace to the Federation by covering up your own intentions for benefitting yourselves behind our valued attributes of equality, brotherhood and sharing.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Taliar and Deputy Taliar, are you ready to vote?
Neira says : There, you wanted my honest opinion, here it is. Deal with it.
Nilstilar quietly: Reckless Lady *smiles*
Chanchey leans over to Savisi and says with a low voice: Maybe we're all better off when she's drunk during meetings.
Neira says : Any more questions?
Eoliniuis coughs: I believe you understood nothing about the project of federal outpost
Selair whispers to Chanchey: Should I go down to the bar and fetch her a beer ?
To answer your question more direcly…
Savisi leans to Chanchey, whispering in his ear again
Neira says : My concern is the Federation, not yours, not anyone else wellbeing
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Please time is running! It's time to move to the vote!
Neira nods towards governor Mac'Kean and fits her attire again, facing towards the one in command
Ailan Mac'Kean says : First, are you for or against the nomination of Neira as Taliar?
Chanchey says : Sorry to interrupt again but I'm not sure if I heard correctly about an answer from the Karan?
Neira says : What?
Logh's head starts to turn
Chanchey says : I may not have heard correctly or not paying attention enough…
Neira says : Please, very estimated Taliar Breggan. Explain your train of thoughts
Nilstilar looks elsewhere
Ailan Mac'Kean wonders if they will go over the first topic today.
Chanchey says : Oh for a moment I thought that you and dear ambassador Nilstilar were exchanging thoughts or informations but I could be wrong.
Neira says : We did do that, yes.
Nilstilar raise a hand
Logh: Eh, where is the pretty one, in the barrel?
Neira says : You may request more information about all this once I'm officially appointed.
Neira doesn't see what Nilstilar is doing right now, with raising his hand, so he goes unnoticed.
Selair murmurs: I am not sure if thats the sensible order, First appointment, then information
Chanchey looks at Nilstilar.
Ailan Mac'Kean sighs: Nair-Nilstilar?
Eolinius wonders when it will be voting time
Neira looks at Nilstilar: Don't jinx it before I'm appointed.
Nilstilar says : Nair Governor... The last time we saw each other here, right here, I didn't overlook the concern that the "Federal Outpost" would certainly raise in the Karan…
Logh takes a drink from his neighbour's stock
Nilstilar says : So, to answer Nair'Chancey, that was about this concern Neira and I were speaking of.
Ailan Mac'Kean sighs.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : I ask it a last time: are you ready to vote? Or would you prefer to postpone both votes to the next meeting? It is high time to move on to the following topics!
Chanchey says : I see, grytt!
Chanchey says : I have no more questions.
Nilstilar says : And, to be true, my support to Nair'Neira is in a large part, due to our converging views about this "Federal Outpost".
Krill still wonders if an ambassador speaks for himself of for his government. Politics really is boring…
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Are you for or against the nomination of Neira as Taliar?
Ailan Mac'Kean looks at Chanchey and Eolinius.
Eolinius nods: Yes she's allowed, in the name of Tryker equality, to stand up for her opinions, if she fills all the requirements to be a Taliar
Eolinius vote yes
Chanchey says : At this moment I would like to vote for no. I can explain later.
Neira says : Explain now.
Neira says : You, of all homins, why would you oppose it?
Neira says : You voted for me the last time, what changed?
Chanchey says : I will vote yes for your job as ambassador. I think it's a good test to see how you perform there.
Neira says : And why not as Taliar?
Neira says : I do fulfill all the requirements.
Neira says : I'm mayor and with your vote, I'll be ambassador. What makes you deny my position as Taliar?
Eolinius looks at Neira: Wait a minute, we still haven't voted about the ambassador position
Nilstilar quietly to Neira: One step at a time, Nair…
Chanchey says : For me, the title as a taliar has to do with being an honor, it's like an... reward for service to the people. And being ambassador is a service. First service, then honor.
Neira hisses at Nilstiar: No.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Are you for or against the appointment of Neira as Ambassador to the Kingdom?
Chanchey says : I'm for an appointment.
Eolinius shakes his head: No, it's out of the question to nominate as ambassadress someone who's of such bad faith... She did not convince me about her vision of the Federation
Neira says : Let’s talk about my Taliar status first.
Neira says : Chanchey. I'm not up for your games.
Neira really hisses this at governor Mac'Kean
Naveruss would enjoy it if all this ended in a pool of blood
Neira reaches down to Nilstilar: Hand me that parchment.
says : Are you sure?
Neira says : Yes, give it to me. It's just Chanchay.
Nilstilar hands the parchment to Neira: So, let it be.
Neira says : I'm not going to make compromises here. *obviously aimed at Nilstilar, but loud enough to be heard by everybody*
Neira walks over to Chanchey
Neira presses, once there, the parchment against his chest to take it
Chanchey grabs the parchment and starts to read it quickly.
Naveruss doesn't understand anything anymore
Neira says : I fought for the Federation. I fought for you. I assisted your guild and your mates. I was there, when nobody else could assist them. I always supported you. I appreciate your support to appoint me as ambassador, but tell me... what's your objection to my position as Taliar? I can already overrule your statements as elected mayor, you know?
Neira takes the parchment back and drills her looks into Chanchey
Chanchey says : I said it already. I want to see your performance as an ambassador. It's something different than doing stuff in Windermeer. It's the next level.
Chanchey says : So that's all really.
Neira says : And what makes you perform better at this than I could possibly do?
Kline looks with appreciation at Chanchey
Neira says : You don't have to run a city, you don't have to balance diplomacies.
Neira says : What makes you worth more to judge this than me?
Neira says : Out of all homins, you've been the last one I expected to act like this. I'm really disappointed in you, I really am.
Kline is thinking that Neira is jumping to conclusions too fast
Neira turns away and walks back to Nilstilar
Krill thinks that Windermeer Kard'al seems to be as inefficient as Avendale's one if they need a mayor over there to run things
Selair sits down and relaxed more and more as Neira moves away
Chanchey says : Well I can't help it then. As I said: for now it's a no to Taliar and a yes to ambassador.
Neira says : Governor Mac'Kean. I'd like to withdraw my application as Taliar, yet keep me request to be appointed ambassador for his Royal Highness gem.
Chanchey says : This can change until the next or the assembly afterwards.
Eolinius looks at the governor and raises his hand
Neira says : For the record, I'll not request Taliar position again, as the objection of Taliar Chanchey is a personal betrayal to me.
Kline is looking forward for the next assembly
Logh: We could all vote!
Naveruss: It's impossible to find an agreement?
Eolinius: Well, there are two of us voting, and there's no majority. I require that the votes are postponed
Nilstilar quietly: Doesn't the Governor have the right to vote, Nair?
Neira whispers down to Nilstilar: Old hag Ailan can overrule the Taliar, yes. But she won't.
Nilstilar smiles.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : It is time to continue the assembly with the next topic. I hope that next time there will be 3 Taliari, and therefore the votes will no longer be tied.
Neira says : Fuck this.
Neira says : Fuck all of you.
Neira says : I'm out.
Neira wanders off
Kline thinks that the history is repeating
Chanchey watches Neira leaving.
Naveruss finds there is a serious lack in discipline
Logh: It's a very sad story, such a beautiful homina...
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Is there... another application to become Taliar?
Savisi shakes his head sadly.
Eolinius sighs: Fuck this... Nice proof of diplomacy...
Naveruss would really have enjoyed seeing Neira diplomaticate with the orksos
Logh: It was probably not what she meant to say
Neira stomps back in right towards Ailan
Neira says : Oy, old hag. *gives her the parchment* Read this. And pray to Jena I won't feel like actually messing you up any more.
Selair says : She has not heard about the proverb: A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.
Neira says : So you better appoint me now to speak in the Federations cause, or you'll have me speak on my own. Whatever you prefer. And yes, that's an ultimatum.
Neira says : I'm sick of this crap.
Eolinius gets up and interposes between Neira and the governor
Eolinius: You, you don't talk like that to the governor!
Neira hisses at Eolinius: Fuck off or I'll wreck you right in this instant.
Kline is very curious how she'll do that !!!
Ailan Mac'Kean shouts : Please calm down!
Neira shouts : Read this and pray to Jena the Karan will have mercy with you, old hag.
Neira says : I'm sick of the games this Federation plays.
Ailan Mac'Kean takes the parchment.
Naveruss also gets up
Naveruss: That's enough. The Karan has nothing to do here!
Logh: Eh, go away, we see nothing!
Eolinius sponges his forehead down: I believe we avoided a disaster with this appointment
Depyraken just desperately tries to reach the barrel
Chanchey also stands up and interposes himself
Chanchey says : Come on, Neira, let's go.
Chanchey tries to grab her and put her over the shoulder.
Neira shouts : No. You get lost!
Naveruss thinks she'll knock Neira out
Nilstilar wonders why the ktheros interferes...
Chanchey tries to carry her downstairs for a talk without *falling* down the stairs.
Ailan Mac'Kean reads the parchment.
Nilstilar quietly: The Delights of Democracy...
Logh to Nilstilar: Psst, save the barrel if there's punch-up
Nilstilar to Logh, laughing: I'll do my best.
Nilstilar wonders why the ktheros interferes...
Ailan Mac'Kean opens her eyes wide when reading.
Neira shouts: I'll not take this. The Karavan will know about all of this, the Karan will know about all of this! *all whilst still defending herself against Chanchey, who seems to overpower her*
Selair murmurs: I think I get myself a beer before they spill it
Chanchey tries to put her over his shoulder, carrying her out.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Neira, I think I understand your motivations. I also see that you have made great progress in Matis diplomacy, but you still have a lot to learn in tryker diplomacy.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Instead of reporting this federal outpost case to the Karan, you should have come back today to discuss it here.
Krill finally finds something interesting in politics
Neira throws and opposes Chanchey moves, but can't hold herself up against it
Neira shouts : I'll make you pay!
Chanchey says : Don't say anything stupid now, Neira!
Chanchey says : Ok, too late...
Neira shouts : Screw you! I'll make them all pay! The Karavan shall be victorious. All hail to Jena! *as she gets dragged off by Chanchey*
Chanchey carries her downstairs.
Kline hungry and tired
Eolinius comes back to sit down and looks at Krill who dived into the barrel
Ailan Mac'Kean explains
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Neira wrote to the Karan about her fears about the federal outpost.
Nilstilar raise a hand
Selair searches his pockets, finds some cockies and presents them to Kline
Kline taking them and looking thankfully to Selair
Ailan Mac'Kean says : She asks for her oral intervention to make us listen to reason.
Eolinius sighs: All this for a marked dedicated to sharing...
Selair murmurs: I wonder where Chanchey is. Maybe he needs a rescue.
Naveruss wonders how an intervention by the Karan would matter
Ailan Mac'Kean says : There are far too many topics on the agenda to finish them today, and I think we need to rethink this incident.
Eolinius nods
Nilstilar raise a hand
Kline thinks that every time the guardian shows up it will be Chanchey
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Is there another topic you want to talk about today? Or would you prefer a full postponement to the next meeting?
Naveruss raises her hand
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Nair-Ambassador Nilstilar ?
Savisi murmurs: I wonder where Selair is ... maybe it's better to look at.
Nilstilar says : As it appears I will be alone during the next Matis Noble assembly to speak about the Federal Outpost, do you have, Governor, a message you wish me to transmit the Karan in order to defend the decision you took last time?
Nilstilar says : Or will the Federation appoint an ambassador before that assembly?
Ailan Mac'Kean says : I don't understand why a topic in progress, intended for sharing, is causing so much trouble.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : This topic should have been continued today. And all would have been listened to.
Nilstilar says : "Sharing" is a new idea, maybe, out of the Refuge *smiles*
Eolinius: A new idea? It's the Federation motto!
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Nair-Eolinius, do you want to speak as a representative of the Crya who holds the famous outpost?
Eolinius: The role of the market is not to extend our power as Nair... Neira suggested it
Eolinius: But to share with all the Trykeri... and the other nations, the fruits of the outpost
Logh just notices how the Governor hairstyle suits her
Eolinius: It will in the same time give back to the Lakes their role of great economical center
Eolinius: Well... Maybe I get ahead of myself there...
Eolinius: And it will be the opportunity to party, with attractions
Naveruss raises her hand
Ailan Mac'Kean waits Eolinius has done before to get the floor to Naveruss.
Eolinius looks at Naveruss: Do you have questions?
Krill says : Oy. When can we go to the bar?
Naveruss: Could we hear the arguments of all the ones who oppose the federal market? Just to understand and move on, instead of shouting everywhere like bodocs?
Logh finds that Naveruss gives of an attracting animality
Nilstilar raise a hand
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Nair-Nilstilar?
Naveruss throws a heavy glare at Nilstliar
Nilstilar says : May I argue, Nair Governor?
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Oy, you can.
Nilstilar says : So. My first argument comes from my old age : I never saw something good coming from interferences between guilds' business and Nation's affairs.
Nilstilar says : Second is my personal defiance towards the Powers when it comes to Outposts.
Eolinius: Hmmm, I believe though that it existed by the time of Nymphea
Nilstilar to Eolinius: It does exist, yes. But it doesn't last. Greed is far stronger than mottos.
Eolinius smiles when seeing Kyriann
Logh looks at the sky, dreaming at the good bath he'll have before his nap...
Kyriann seats noiselessly
Naveruss finds Nilstilar's arguments useless but says nothing
Nilstilar says : Third, I would say more important things are to care of before enrichment and enjoyment : this planet is still dangerous and largely unknown.
Krill finds Nilstilar dull. Of course enjoyment is more important than other things
Kline thinks Regie is too tall for Tryker buildings
Naveruss: Then of course, if the orskos still try to play sorcerer's apprentice with their changes in nature...
Nilstilar smiles thinking of the mad digging of the ktheros.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Nair-Kyriann?
Kyriann: Sorry, I'm catching partway through the talk, but I want to say I disagree with Nair-Ambassador
Naveruss smiles to Kyriann
Kyriann: There's nothing more important than party
Naveruss thinks that taking care of the dangerous things doesn't prevent to party also
Kyriann: If the wealth has to come from a well-used time and come at its time, pleasure and sharing joy are essentials
Depyraken wriggles and helps himself yet another drink
Kyriann: So, sharing time and wealth during a market... Well... It couldn't be otherwise
Kyriann smiles
Eolinius looks at Kyriann: Yes, that's what I reminded, we're highlighting the notion of sharing
Kyriann whispers: Sella! (Sharing)
Eolinius coughs and has almost no paper left for taking notes
Nilstilar smiles : Well... As expected, to preach prudence and seriousness among Trykers, is a failure
Neira shouts: You never waited for me, liar!
Naveruss: Again?
Eolinus: What?
Ailan Mac'Kean says : We'll stop there for tod... What?!
Neira and Chanchey go up the stairs
Chanchey says : Sorry, governor. May I speak?
Neira stomps up the stairs and turns around the corner facing Ailan
Eolinius: No! She won't start over!
Naveruss prepares herself to act if needed
Kyriann wonders about what is going on
Neira says : Old hag, listen carefully now.
Chanchey says : Neira, please shut up... for once switch on your brain.
Chanchey shakes his head.
Ailan Mac'Kean sighs.
Regie giggles
Ailan Mac'Kean says : I was going to announce the bar round!
Neira growls in Chancheys direction
Neira hisses at Eolinius: Step back or I'll utterly smite your poor soul into an oblivion not even the Karavan can resque you from.
Naveruss: Threaten him once more and I'll break your head!
Chanchey says : I wanted to say that I'm sorry to decline Neira's application as Taliari.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Lor, okay, but only a very short moment.
Chanchey says : She has the temper of a Fyros and what she said was because I hurt her incredibly with my words.
Chanchey says : I'm sorry for that and it was my fault.
Chanchey says : I never met a Tryker with a bigger heart and we know each other for a long time.
Chanchey says : Longer than anyone...
Chanchey says : And I'm responsible for what happened here today.
Chanchey says : Neira is hot-headed, one spark and she goes boom like every good Tryker invention does.
Kyriann smiles
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Do you mean you would like to... vote again?
Neira reaches at her back and takes on her magic amplifiers
Neira says : Come at me.
Chanchey says : I don't think she will accept it.
Chanchey : Je ne crois pas qu'elle l'acceptera
Chanchey smiles : But... look at her.
Chanchey says : And we want her as one of us, I can assure you.
Neira says : I'll take on you all, even if I will lose. I'll not have it go your way.
Regie is glad he has a mask.
Neira munbles: Vote again!
Eolinius: And this want to be a Taliar and an ambassadress? We're not drunk savages around here
Chanchey says : She is savage, yes. And hurt. Which is my fault.
Depyraken thinks: Drunk maybe... Savages, no
Neira says : Vote again or I'll resign my post as mayor and leave Aeden as I promised I would to Chanchey. I'm not going to put up with your crap any longer.
Naveruss: Well, it's not that marauder behavior which will make things move along!
Neira says : And by Jena *turns her attention to Ailan* I'll make sure when I leave to get my point across someplace else.
Naveruss: You're sentencing yourself!
Ailan Mac'Kean sighs. So, do you want to vote again or go straight to the bar?
Chanchey says : Dear Ailan, if you can accept a passionate tryker lady who will be a pain your ass...
Eolinius: No, we don't vote. Neira lost her credibility all by herself
Chanchey says : but who will be honest until it hurts...
Chanchey says : who will say what she thinks...
Chanchey says : and who will drink more alcohol that is good for her...
Chanchey says : then I will vote yes for her.
Neira still talking to Ailan, it seems: I'm in a good situation with Filira Salazar, with the Dynasties Scripe Zhoi, with the Awakened Sartyrica and current ambassador Ser Thorec. I've connections to the Circle and the Kuilde and by Jena, I'll not stand being forced out the Federation by the betrayal of a few homins.
Eolinius says : the federation doesn't accept blackmail !
Chanchey says : It's okay, Eolinius. It's not blackmail...
Chanchey says : I made a mistake and don't punish her for it. Her fire burns bright and hot.
Neira says : I've gone a long enough way and I earned what I requested. I fulfill all requirements.
Savisi applauds for Chancheys decision.
Chanchey says : I can't guarantee that she won't kick your ass in the assemblies, Eolinius.
Neira says : I'm the legal mayor of Windermeer, I'm by law leading a Tryker guild, I live for and serve the Federation. Denying me the status of a Taliar is against anything our constitution states. For what? A few very special homins not agreeing?
Chanchey says : But she will do it in the name of the Federation at least....
Chanchey says : And in the name of what she thinks is the best of the people.
Neira says : I've done more for the Federation than most of them deniying me this position combined.
Neira says : What else do you want from me?
Depyraken is impatient: when are going to the bar?
Neira says : Come one, old hag, speak up. What do you want from me?
Neira obviously addressed Ailan
Chanchey says : Neira isn't easy... She went a difficult path.
Chanchey says : But she's a Tryker after all. This IS her home.
Neira says : Name your intentions and I'll make sure to fulfill them. Speak up. Be the governor you should be.
Neira growls: Don't make me question your position.
Chanchey says : And if there's one people on Atys that accepts homins with different opinions, then it's the Federation.
Kyriann nods
Regie nudges Kline and starts sneaking.
Kyriann nods
Chanchey looks at Eolinius.
Krill giggles: Maybe you should just let her speak, Neira...
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Taliar Chanchey, you'd like to give her a chance and so you are now voting for her as a Taliar and as an Ambassador?
Chanchey nods
Eolinius: Decisions have to be made in calm and serenity, as Zhan-miko would have told us.
Neira rumbles again: Want me to bring in Filiar Caradini? How about I make the Karan pay you all a visit? Will you then listen to me?
Regie offers a small bottle behind the back.
Eolinius sighs: I've never seen such an assembly
Neira confronts Eolinius with her looks: What you say. Want to deal with His Royal Highness? Feel comfortable about this?
Kyriann says : We say : no blackmailing!
Neira says : Be damn sure I'll find a way to make this your worst nightmare. You thought I was drunk before. You think I'm crazy now. But Ailan saw the parchment, Ser Thorec saw it. And I'll be damned by Jena if I won't do through with this.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : If Neira and her guild respect federal laws, I admit that there is no valid reason to deny her the title of Taliar.
Savisi applauds
Neira listens to the govenors words and inhales silently
Eolinius: I just want to mention that I voted yes before her behavior left a lot to be desired
Neira says : What is there to be desired besides me not standing by your guilds desires?
Chanchey nods to Eolinius.
Chanchey says : I understand and I guess you will have to listen some more bad words in the future.
Neira says : I freaking don't care about you, nor your guild, nor any other guild. I care about two things. The Federation and ... *bites her tongue* ... I don't think I want to mention what I feel.
Chanchey says : But you can be sure that she's honest and that she's following her heart.
Neira nudges Ailan: Give me back my parchment, please.
Chanchey says : We're Trykers. And we shouldn't close the door for someone who wants to be part of our Nation.
Chanchey says : And who wants to be with us.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : I understand the hesitation in appointing her as Ambassador today. But not those aimed at not granting her the title of Taliar.
Chanchey nods to Ailan.
Neira says : There's no hesitation in appointing me as ambassador. There's no other besides me to do what I'm capable of.
Ailan Mac'Kean reads the parchment again then gives it back to Neira.
Neira whispers to Ailan: Look, they all claim their precious status within the Federation, but none of them has the needed connections to back their words up.
Chanchey says : Neira, please let Ailan speak.
Neira takes her parchment back and stows it again in her sleeves.
Regie tacha'ka zorai-goo y mata zhan. Nodes to himself.
Neira steps back from Ailan into the arms of Chanchey: Don't you ever betray me again. I won't give you another chance.
Kyriann waits for Ailan answer
Ailan Mac'Kean says : I would like to give you the title of Taliar because I see no valid reason to refuse it to you. You fulfill the required consaysions and respect our laws.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : But I need the support of my Taliari for that.
Neira says : Acknowledged. What about the position as ambassador for His Royal Highness gem, the Verdant Heights?
Neira says : You can dismantle any assembly and overrule, by law, any decision.
Neira says : But fine, lets hear the Taliar, as it's custom.
Ailan Mac'Kean looks at the Taliari.
Chanchey returns to his place.
Kline yawns and stretch his hands and neck
Eolinius sighs: I agreed for the Taliar position but not for the one as ambassador
Regie whispers to himself again: Qi hay nékéan tacha luynu zorai-goo.
Chanchey says : I agree to both positions.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Lor. Since my Taliari follow me, Nair-Neira, I give you the title of Taliar. Congratulations.
Neira says : Two for the Taliar and one Taliar vote for the ambassador as well as Ser Thorecs vote for that, which should count for more.
Kyriann applauds after all for Neira's appointment
Neira says : I appreciate your decision, yet I'll just accept the package.
Chanchey says : She negotiates hard!
Kyriann applauds after all for Neira's appointment
Ailan Mac'Kean says : As for your application to become Ambassador to the Kingdom…
Neira interrupts Ailan: Either both or I'm gone.
Neira says : I've the kingdoms backing. No other homin can claim that for her own.
Kyriann says : No blackmail !
Eolinius looks at Kyrian and sighs
Ailan Mac'Kean says : You are the first person to apply for this role in a long time, you seem to have the necessary relationships, Ambassador Nilstilar strongly supports your application and you have learned the rules of Matis diplomacy.
Kyriann says : We live for meer and tryka
Kyriann says : We don't want to be forced to do something
Chanchey says : Krill, can you pass me over a BIG sip of shooki please? I need it more than ever before…
Krill rolls the whole barrel to Chanchey
Chanchey drowns himself in it.
Chanchey says : Take it as a hard way to negotiate, Kyriann…
Ailan Mac'Kean says : You probably don't miss much to become a very good ambassador. But you still have one thing to learn: learn to trust the Federation completely. Then she will also be able to give you all of hers and entrust you with our relationship with the Kingdom.
Kyriann says : Yep well said Ailan !
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Offer instead of demand.
Neira says : Is that your final answer?
Neira says : I offered myself two times already.
Kyriann encourages Ailan
Eolinius applauds Ailan
Neira says : And I came back to the assembly today just because of my loyalty to the Federation.
Neira says : Chanchey earlier today questioned me. Now you question me. If you don't believe in me, why should I believe in you, or the Federation? I gave you all my ambitions, my heart and my capabilities.
Neira says : I've the support of Matis nobles and the kingdoms ambassador.
Kyriann says : Perhaps you should try to gain the support of the trykers too
Neira says : I've the support of at least two Taliar, one who isn't available today though.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Trust us, put yourself on an equal footing with us, without judging us. Work with us, not just for us. Let us be free to choose. And I am certain that the votes will be unanimous in appointing you ambassador to the Kingdom.
Eolinius says : It is the Federation who should trust you for this position with the Matis
Neira says : I was to prove myself of being accustomed with matis customs, which I did, as Ser Thorec confirmed. There was no other quest.
Neira says : And I fulfilled that quest, by flying flags.
Chanchey says : Neira, the others need to get to know you.
Neira hisses at Chanchey: No.
Chanchey shouts : FUCKING YES! For ONE time swallow your pride and just be happy, holy fucking shit!
Neira says : I did already enough and just because some newcomers can't get their history facts straight, I won't bow down to their means.
Neira shouts : I DID MY PART!
Ailan Mac'Kean shouts : Please stay calm!
Chanchey says : Convince them! Others than acting like a hurt child, please!
Ailan Mac'Kean shouts : and stay polite!
Neira says : It's either both or nothing. I came back to request both positions and I won't leave with just half of it. I made myself clear enough in my conviction towards doing whatever it takes to foster the Federation.
Chanchey drinks a big sip from the shooki.
Neira says : If that's not enough, if that means I still have to magically convince some new arrivals *points at the Drakani in general* then I won't accept any of this.
Neira says : Then I won't even want to be part of this Federation anymore. Because then all of this is a joke buried within bureaucracy.
Chanchey says : You will represent the people you just pointed at. And they are Trykers.
Chanchey says : And we are a nation that votes by majority. So you have to convince the majority.
Neira says : And I'll represent them, as I do now for my fellow homins of Windermeer.
Neira says : But so far, those Trykers there aren't my Trykers. They're pretty close to what I'd call traitors because they want to shape the Federation in a way that benefits them mostly.
Neira says : But so far, those Trykers there aren't my Trykers. They're pretty close to what I'd call traitors because they want to shape the Federation in a way that benefits them mostly.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Taliar Neira, take time to think. You can get this ambassador job with a little patience. Listen to the Taliar Chanchey. Follow his advice. And I hope to see you again applying at the next assembly.
Neira says : No.
Chanchey says : Don't be stupid, Neira.
Neira says : There won't be a next assembly for me then.
Neira says : If you want to talk to me, send a letter to Yrkanis and maybe I'll open it.
Ailan Mac'Kean says : Now I close this meeting. The bar awaits you for the tour offered by the Federation!
Chanchey says : You know what?
Chanchey shouts : FUCK YOU STUPID CHILD
Neira says : I officially resign my position as mayor, and as citizen of the Federation. Feel free to do whatever you like.
Neira turns away and leaves too
Eolinius raises his fist and shouts: TRYKA ! MEER ! SELLA !
