Introduction
The land of Tara has eight feuding kingdoms constantly at war with one another. Just recently the rulers of these kingdoms have decided to put their differences aside and form one powerful alliance. Unfortunately...not everyone is in agreement. To prove that ex rivals CAN get along, each ruler sends the heir of their kingdom to live with the other heirs.Will this plan explode in their faces...or will the eight bickering youths learn to get along.
The Kingdoms

Bodor has a bad reputation as the kingdom of darkness.Not much is known about them,as they isolate themselves from the rest of Tara.Their nights are extended due to being so far into the north.What creatures lurk in the night there are unknown...They use dark magic.
Serinia: The Kingdom of the Morning Sun. The Serinians live in floating islands in the sky. They are a very peacefull people,known for their virtue and morals. Although almost god like,they consider the other kingdoms savage. They are also very religious.They use light magic.
Gent:The Land of Towering Tree's. Gent relies on the land for much of its resources. It is home to fierce warriors,and simple green thumbs alike. The people of Gent life in glorified tree houses. They all greatly respect nature and use earth magic.

After a few moments, he walked towards the table and smiled. His white chef's outfit had barely any stains at all, while his kitchen hands were covered in them. He had made sure that his bandana had been pushed back far enough to keep his hair out of his face and the food, but it needed to be tightened after hours of moving his body around. He sucked in a quick breath and spoke to the future leaders.
"Good afternoon everybody. I am Head Chef Christopher." He bowed slightly, hoping that the fact he was probably only 2 years older than most of them wasn't known. "I hope the food fits each of your personal tastes. If you need anything, I shall be in the kitchen awaiting your order." He turned around, and then remembered. "Oh! I just forgot. I will be your caterer and chef over your stay here, and am hoping that we will get along perfectly." He smiled in his happy, bubbly way and walked away, back to the kitchen. What he didn't realize was by saying that he was their food preparer over their stay also had the double meaning of: i'm making your food, so please don't piss me off.

He sprinted to the dining hall, finding the...table of friendship? Did I fall into one of those weird table top games me and Holm used to play in the dungeons with the dungeon masters son? He thought to himself rather cynically. The premise had been an adventure game where one rolled eyes (Bodor speak for Die) to deal damage to monsters. Silias had been a master dual class necroblood mage of a really high level. However he outgrew the faze, but yet he would still occasionally hear from the pits "Roll for damage" and the groans of the prisoners they had forced to play with them. Snapping back to reality he found the Idalian prince and several others eating. His dish sat unattended, covered by a fancy silver dome. A quick glance revealed that all the others had dishes of their own culture. Silias sat down and smiled at Wolf, "AH what do you think of the dorms?" He asked casually as he lifted the dome.
His eyes glanced down, and his mouth began to salivate as the sweet aroma of blood-berries (AKA strawberries), chocolate, and steak filled the air. Bodor was well known for it's dreary weather, and their citizens were considered...eccentric. However, nothing could compare to Bodorian cuisine when it came to deserts. It seemed like the country of shadows had a killer sweet tooth. Quickly, he devoured his food, which was astonishing becausfor a fictional planet called "Earth" that he often song about. Reading as he did Silias was fluent, well sort of....

Unknown to nearly everybody was the fact that every maid and servant out there was under his rule for meal times, and he usually got them to report back to him on each person's eating habits, their dislikes, their likes, and such. When a maid returned with a 'report' Chris was happy to hear that one of the ladies, Kyu of Meledonia, wanted to thank him personally! Christopher was ecstatic. Not only did he love compliments, but he liked talking to people, hearing their criticisms and getting to know them better. He was shocked to find that a few of them were not eating. He was slightly disappointed, but assumed that they had a lot on their mind, which was explainable. Nevertheless, Christopher was a people person and very self concious of his cooking, so a few maids were sent out to ask the heirs not eating if the food wasn't up to their standards. Each maid approached the non eating person and asked "Is the food not satisfactory to your tastes?"
(i'm not gunna list them all off, you know who you are. )

"Injustice or not...isn't all poetry misleading,every day matters hardly need to be described so dramatically." Her eyes flickered with slight curiosity to the bird perched on his shoulder. . So this is the game you want to play Idalia...well its amusing so I will play too. Amaritzia picked at the food on her plate,shooting a sideways glance at the Prince of Bodor's meal,and then immediately back to her own. She felt like she could get a cavity by just staring at his food for too long.

After finally finishing her plate, with much satisfaction, Serenity wiped her mouth with her napkin, lightly, trying to remove any particles that were on her pale pink lips. She then set the napkin back in her lap and folded it into a small square. Serenity would always do this ritual after she ate, wanting to stay neat and tidy. One of the maids crept, silently, behind her, asking her if there was anything else that she needed and that if the food was to her utmost liking. That made Serenity jump a little, startled by the sudden reference from the maid to her, "Oh!...No thank you. I am truly fine. The Serenian cuisine, that the chef made, was superb", she delightedly complimented as the maid, happily, took her dirty plate away.

To Silias's inquire about the dorm room Wolfgang answered, "It was certainly a surprised to find that we were not to have our own rooms. I find the wardrobe much too small for my tastes but it is all for the sake of friendship so I shall endure." He then glanced down at Silias's sweet-filled plate, "I see that the Prince of Bodor has quite the sweet tooth, then dear Silias, you simply must try our Idalian honey and honey mead, or what I like to call them: the Gods' Nectar. They are out of this world. It is such a pity that the previous wars have prevented their exportation. Perhaps we could convince our talented chef to procure some for us."
Wolfgang had recognized the chef from his introduction earlier and as he dug into his meal he could finally understand why his father had gone to such great length to try to recruit the chef. Wolfgang caught one of the maid and drew her aside, "my compliments to the chef and do tell him that the Prince of Idalia humbly asks him to reconsider our royal father's offers once his service here is done. His addition to the Idalian Royal kitchen would be much appreciated." Wolfgang tucked a small lily into the girl's hair as thanks and sent her on her way back to the kitchens.
Wolfgang glanced to his right as the Prince of Gent excused himself from the table, he had been quiet throughout the entire dinner, making no attempts at conversation. He considered going after the Prince. It would be very beneficial if he was to approach the Prince first as their lands share a large border but his conversation with the two Northern powers are just as if not more important. He will have to try to remedy the situation later.
((OCC: sorry, just noticed that there was a real seating plan on the Dinning Hall page, my bad))

When the news came back from all of the maids he had sent out, he had finished the cleaning of the dishes and moved onto the rest of the room. He was quite giddy about their responses, so he stopped what he was doing and heard them all out, one by one.
"The Serenian Princess reports that the food was suberb and that you did an excellent job with the cuisine." He smiled, extremely happy. He knew that he was quite self concious when it came to his cooking, but the thought that people liked his cooking always made him happy. "the Prince of Gent apologizes if he offended you, claiming he doesn't eat much." Chris' eyes frowned. If he had done more research, he would have known that. He cursed under his breath at his carelessness at the lack of research and commitment he had, but asked the next maid to continue. However, the maid blushed slightly, and he looked up. He instantly noticed the lily in his hair and smiled widely.
"And what does the fair prince Wolfgang have to say, miss?" he teased. She then stuttered out, obviously smitten with the affection that she had recieved by the prince. "He asks that after this ordeal is done, that you reconsider their offer to you, and that your services to their kitchen would be much appreciated." Chris remembered when he had been offered the job. He had to take many days to figure out if he really wanted to give up his shop and work for the king. However, it seemed fate intervened and he didn't have to decide, instead being thrown into this glorious little house. "Thank you ladies, you may resume your normal duties." He said, dismissing them.

"My compliments to the chef" he said smiling lightly. "Also, add that the Bodorian court would triple the pay offer of Idalia for his services." The last part he lightly whispered into her ear, his breath playing upon her cheek like a sweet fog. He could feel heat resonate from her blushing cheeks. He then turned to the others at the table, "I have met Prince wolf here, but I have yet to meet any of the rest of you. Allow me to introduce myself first. I am Requiem Nighte, but I find that name so..." he searched for the right word. "Drab. Instead I go by Silias, which is what you may call me." He paused and then added, "Unless any of the princesses comes up with a cute pet name for me of course." He added smiling. God all the smiling made his lips hurt! However his father would beat him with a rusty potato if he didn't act charming and social. And yes potatoes do rust if you let them sit awhile... actually, I lied, they don't.

"Since we seem to be giving introductions, I am the princess of Meledonia. My name is Kyu, and that's how I am addressed. I will answer to no other name, for my name was given to me by my country and I respect that.", she quickly stated, wanting absolute respect to her name while sitting back down in her seat. Serenity nodded her head to Kyu, politely, remembering to keep her name as is. Serenity then spoke up, "I am Serenity Astrella Cosmos and I reside in the ethereal kingdom of Serenia where I was birthed. All of you can nickname me Serena. Everybody back at my home calls me that", she finished seeming, surprisingly, cheerful, leaving someone else to introduce themselves.

There she was stuck, between Bodor and Idalia...and honestly she wasn't sure which one was worse. She had no words to describe the flirtatiousness that was Idalia...and she could give Bodor quote a few names that weren't exactly nice. Her relief when Princess Serenity walked over was indescribable. "Hello Serena...if you don't mind me calling you that.I'm Amiritzia of Edur." She spoke uncharacteristically warmly,a tribute to the one who had saved her from...those two.

Christopher noticed the dinner was starting to wind down, and was quite satisfied by the entire ordeal. He already had one request from a princess that they talk after, and another offer from Idalia. What was surprising was the Prince of Bodoria's offer. Triple the cash offer of the Idalians? Tempting... He wasn't sure of what the motives behind the Prince were, but Christopher wanted to explore the offer a bit. Sure, many royals gave him offers to be their chefs, but never a Bodorian. Their lifestyle was slightly different than his own, their foods a little different than his normal style. But he was up to the challenge.
Christopher finished the dishes that came in, and walked towards the doorway to peer in on them. They all looked like they were enjoying themselves, but he knew that it would take a while before their true colors to show. The true question, obviously, was: How would he help them make the transition? By doing what he did best; cooking awesome food and talking to them.

Yea, I've also noticed that from the location tab, just to make sure, the characters ARE rooming together yes? If so, how big is the common room, how much space could each character expect to have (a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, a bookshelf, etc), or are the characters forced to bunk together?
Well since there are four of each...a bed in each corner and a respective wardrobe and desk for the bed owner. No bookshelf just because I am evil. ^_^
