Attention representatives of all nations!

This is Alfred F. Jones, and I am officially calling a World Meeting for tonight at a location that has yet to be determined. Since everyone understands how bad the situation is, I'll expect everyone to attend! Arthur will serve as secretary and take notes.

We just have to figure out where it'll be. We need some place neutral, so my room and Ivan's room are out. And Arthur might try to make food if he's host, so there's no way we're meeting there. Ludwig, how about your place?

"Representatives of all nations?" Could you be more specific?

[willbethehero.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, not really! (It's weird writing "Ha ha").

But if you don't know who I am from home, then I probably don't mean you. Sorry!

[Anonymous; handwriting disguised]

[kingside]

[faint mark] I see. I wish you luck with your meeting, then.

[teabastard.livejournal.com]

I am not your sodding secretary!

I'll be there a little early. I need to mention something privately to you.

Arthur

[unsigned at the moment]

[osoreirimasu.livejournal.com]

Pardon me for the intrusion, but you're all here, too?

[neuepolitik.livejournal.com]

Depends on who's asking?

[osoreirimasu.livejournal.com]

Ah, my apologies for not introducing myself.

It is Japa the representative of Japan.

Please forgive me if my assumption about how we are calling ourselves is incorrect.

((Strike-outs thoroughly illegible))

[neuepolitik.livejournal.com]

Honda? I see. Yes, I am a representative of the Federal Republic of Germany, and there are a few other representatives as well.

...would it be possible for you to join our meeting tonight?

[osoreirimasu.livejournal.com]

Will it interfere with the games?

I'm [pen taps] rather looking forward to them.

[neuepolitik.livejournal.com]

[Pardon Ludwig as he attempts to peel back the layers of inscrutable Japanese implication there. Here goes his best guess, whoo~!] Er... well, you know how meetings go. There will be time for games later.

...unless it's something important. If so, I'll be sure to take the minutes for you.

[osoreirimasu.livejournal.com]

[Sadly, there are no layers. He's just that much of a newb.]

Is everyone not participating then? That is a shame...

My deepest gratitude, Ger Ludwig-san. I will try to make the meeting before going to the games. Work is always more important.

[neuepolitik.livejournal.com]

We have enough for a quorum, but far less than our usual strength.

...just remember how long this can take. I don't want you disappointing your team because the meeting went long.

[osoreirimasu.livejournal.com]

Did others opt out of joining this event? That is unfortunate. I would have thought it could be a good team building exercise.

Ah...yes, I remember. Quite well. Unfortunately so far I have yet to establish a party. I am a bit late in arriving.

[neuepolitik.livejournal.com]

Not so much opted out as were... unable to attend. Or currently unaccounted for.

That's unfortunate. Perhaps, if the meeting isn't too long, you and I could team up?

[osoreirimasu.livejournal.com]

But it is a world meeting, is it not? I thought all nations were obligated to attend. Altho

I would be honored to have you in my party, Ger Ludwig-san.



Why are we using these names? Is it part of the game?

[neuepolitik.livejournal.com]

Yes, under normal circumstances. But these are not. However, I will be happy to go with you after the meeting is over.

This isn't a game.

[osoreirimasu.livejournal.com]

Oh. I see.

[Pen taps]

I'm very surprised to see Ludwig-san getting into this so much, but I will concede. It is more fun when everyone works together to create a more immersive environment after all.

[neuepolitik.livejournal.com]

...immersive environment...?

[osoreirimasu.livejournal.com]

Ah, am I not supposed to speak of it?

It seems many people are working very hard to be in character. I suppose I should as well.

[neuepolitik.livejournal.com]

[SO INSCRUTABLE. JAPAN, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?] There aren't any 'characters' here. Just... come to the meeting, I'll explain things further there.

[osoreirimasu.livejournal.com]

As you wish.

[strikeout still visible if you try]

[ai-no-minako.livejournal.com]

"Representatives" of nations

[neuepolitik.livejournal.com]

...yes, I suppose that will be adequate. M17.

I hope that this will end more favorably than most of our meetings.

We're already starting down. There's no buffet and this certainly isn't the Ritz.

[neuepolitik.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the adversity will make us pull together. We don't have the luxury of our usual dissolute rivalries.

[teabastard.livejournal.com]

[There's a blotch here, like England couldn't quite think of a way to explain how ridiculous he thought that idea was and eventually gave up.]

[vodka-jump.livejournal.com]

Ah, how fun it'll be to visit everyone. Of course I'll come. ♥

[in formal, lovely cursive]

[nobleobliged.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a fantastic idea, and more than essential. May I take it that I am invited, as a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Kimlasca?

[osoreirimasu.livejournal.com]

Pardon me for my rudeness, but I have...not heard of this Kingdom of Kimlasca. May I ask where it is located?

-The Representative of Japan

[nobleobliged.livejournal.com]

There is no need for pardon, as I have encountered your very position with regularity. The Kingdom of Kimlasca is located in Auldrant, another world from Earth.

- Natalia Luzu Kimlasca-Lanvaldear

[osoreirimasu.livejournal.com]

Aul Another world? Ah, I see. I will confer with my associates and speak with you again.

-The Representative of Japan

[nobleobliged.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I do appreciate it; thank you!
