The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors
"Yes I'm aware of my need to sacrifice a bit," he interrupted the attendant, "after all I was only able to bring Farah here in terms of pets." His hand lazily scratched the ear of the Bengal tiger in question. " I do not need reminding of Kesh's situation. Everyone knows that we have few people and barely anything of a military force." Aziz took a drink of the wine that had been on the table before continuing, "But it's also common knowledge that the extent of our treasury and natural resources dwarf our fellows on the global scale...nor is our information network something to ignore. Other nations can keep their armies, Kesh will always be king where finance is concerned." With that he held out his hand, and the list of the other royals attending was handed to him.
A quick skim told him most of what he needed to know, many lesser royals and nobles would be there. Of all the nobles in attendance, only five names stood out to him. Amalea the young queen of Sentaura, a bold and uptight woman who knew her way around the battlefield. Katherine Goldworthy, the reason for her attendance was a surprise...while Italy's appearance was to be expected she was acting out of her expected profile. The Cymbaltian Elizabeth Jane, another name expected, they were a proper lineage if nothing else. The list of interesting women concluded with Anya Demyr of a country whose name he couldn't pronounce, something of an outdoors woman if memory served. The last name he paid attention to was a male, the French Prince Chris Minik. If his file was to be trusted, he didn't want to be here but would still be Aziz's main rival... actually he found the man quite likable on paper. Perhaps this was the term he'd heard some girls say on his way out of Kesh...frenemy?
The slowing of the barge indicated it was time to change vessels. "Something stronger," the bartender gave Aziz straight whiskey, which the prince quaffed before leaving. The lesser boat barely fit him, his luggage, Farah and his escort (granted his escort was double what was really required). But his arrival at the resort was otherwise flawless...or would have been if Farah hadn't run off upon landing. "Farah, get back here!" Aziz chased after his pet since the servants were too afraid of her to bother. They'd go ahead and handle the arrangements and other trivial matters. At the moment, he was more concerned about his pet.
She sighed but grabbed the rest of it and searched around. She admired the view of the crystal blue waters and the wonderful resort. "Wow." she said as if almost winded. "Princess shall we go on inside the resort?" Her escort asked her. She sighed once again and looked at him successfully hiding her annoyance. "I told you just call me Katherine or Kat if you prefer." Katherine stated reminding him of what she's said many times already. Katherine wasn't one to be greeted so formally because she wasn't used to it. Even the servants at home refer to her as Katherine. As she started walking her escort nodded and followed after her.
Unfortunately, she had been too busy out “adventuring” (as her father had put it) to look at all the files too closely. All she could remember was that the boys had seemed to be polar opposites of each other! She thought harder and remembered their names. There was Princes Aziz Verthragan and Chris Minik, also Princesses Katherine Goldsworthy and Elizabeth Jane. I’m missing somebody aren’t I? Anya thought to herself. Oh yes the Queen! Queen Amalea of Sintaura! Why is she still single if she’s queen? Anya wondered silently. Her wondering was interrupted when she felt the boat jerk suddenly and heard her favorite servant yell “My lady! We have arrived!” Anya could barely contain her excitement. She was finally getting to meet the others whom she would be staying with and possibly future romantic interests. Anya’s servant carried her bags for her while she walked onto the resort with a bounce in her step she could not contain.
"Well... At least she remembered I hate boats." He mumbled to himself unhappily as the copter finally made its was off the ground.
Chris had eventually lost track of how long they'd been in the sky, so he just settled for watching all the land forms change into water.
Now, he may not want to be at the resort, but that does not mean he was gunna be rude. In fact, it was almost impossible for him not to be nice in some form. The only exception was the old hag who'd given birth to him. He'd looked over the files of the others who had signed up. So far, there was only one other male: Aziz Verthragnan. And about four women.
When the pilot told him that he was going to land, Chris stopped him. "I got this." He said as he grabbed a parachute and strapped it to himself.
"You are not serious?" The pilot said in more annoyance than anything. This guys had been around since Chris was born and has seen every little stunt he's pulled. Don't you think he would know Chris is 100% serious?
With a joking salute, he opened the door and jumped out of the copter.
He ended up landing in the water with a giant splash. He looked up and saw that the copter was landing anyways. But this time on land. "You're no fun." Chris said as he swam to dry land. He pulled off his shirt and rang it out and then he sees something that really should not be there. But boy was Chris ecstatic.
"That is a big kitty." Chris says as the tiger started to run his way.
"Farah get back here, this is most unbecoming behavior to exhibit before introductions!" He managed to make out another figure a ways in front of the big cat. The cat ducked around the individual in question and kept running. Meanwhile Aziz slowed down as he began to actually see the details of the other male.
"Chis of France is I'm not mistaken," Aziz said while walking the last length of distance. "I don't believe we've formally met, but I am Aziz of Kesh. The tiger was Farah, one of my pets, I hope she didn't startle you... she's been cooped up all day and wants to play." Aziz had barely caught that detail himself when chasing her, and she'd catch up with him when she was ready. It also helped that now his pet started acting like a pet by staying in his sight at this time. Well Farah had gone through some training to behave properly when he was talking to others.
"If it's alright with you, I would like to converse on the way to the hotel...I've had my fill of sand and sea water for the day." Well the statement wasn't entirely true, it was more that he wished to arrive punctually and Farah had for the most part interfered with his plans on that. From the corner of his eye, he saw Farah running back. It would appear a helicopter, Chris's from the looks of it had landed there to not disrupt there conversation. The noise of it had scared Farah...he inwardly winced at the idea of her clinging to him for the rest of the day.
His smile was huge right now. He'd never seen a pet tiger before. And the only pet he was allowed was a dog.
He slapped the wet shirt over his back and started to walk. "Yeah, I'm sick of water too. Didn't think I'd end up going for a swim." He said with a laugh.
He saw the cat running back and held out his hand to her. She was a beautiful specimen. Despite the fact that he was holding out his hand to the animal he asked, "Isn't it kinda dangerous to keep a live grown tiger by your side? She's beautiful and all, but it probably isn't a good idea unless she's trained real well."
"Of course, there are still primal things that can't simply be over ridden. Feeding her by hand is impossible, in fact as a whole it's best to feed her BEFORE she gets hungry nor is she allowed to eat uncooked meat. It keeps the more primal nature in check and she basically acts like an overly large house cat. Granted every once and a while her size lets her wonder if she's my cub or the other way around...which gets really bad during mating season." Aziz ended an explanation that was far longer than what he expected, including the unexpected commentary at that point.
"Also I've been very wordy thus far, so allow me to ask my own question. What's your take on our female counterparts? Since technically this is a giant game of matchmaker you must have something of an opinion on the matter."
"I don't even want know what she does during mating season." Chris said with a laugh, making sure to keep in pace with Aziz. Normally he'd go and run straight to the resort. But knowing him he'd get sidetracked anyways.
"What do I think about the girls... Well, from what I've read... Anya Demyr seems like she kinda bubbly in personality but is also a little geeky since she likes to dry flowers and... What was it... oh yeah, and collect things from the outdoors. Katherine Goldsworthy seems like the music princess of doom. 'cause she apparently loves music to death. That all that's over her paper thing. But she actually seems pretty nice. Queen Amalea confuses me some... 'cause I didn't know you could be a queen yet still single. And if anything she seems dangerous in the fun sort of way with all guns, military background and stuff. And Elizabeth Jane just seems like the stereotypical princess who loves everyone and doesn't know what pants are.
What about you?" Chris finally finished. No one had actually asked him what he thought about the girls before. So he was gunna tell it straight up.
"All-in-all the most interesting character file I saw on my way here was yours. From an information standpoint, we appeared the exact opposites of each other. Which left the State uncertain of a potential rivalry or friendship." At this point Aziz heavily dropped his voice and leaned in close, since he was about to divulge information that was technically classified.
"The State is rather fussy about this since my father wishes to retirement, but the Emperor of Kesh must have a bride before ascending to the throne." With that said he leaned back, no need to let the commoners think or see too much of what was really going on. Two butlers stood there in silence waiting upon the princes, presumably to take them to their quarters should they wish it.
Looking up he nodded, smiling, "Thank you. I appreciate the notice." he stood up, and replaced his books, organizing them with the dozens of others in the shelves along the wall alphabetically. He closed the shelf case, and moved to the main seating area. sitting down, he buckled himself in and dosed for the remaining 20 minutes of the landing on the water. When all was said and done, he grabbed his personal bag that held one or two books and his laptop, and got off of the plane. The sun was brighter than he was used to, so he put on a pair of sunglasses, and smiled at the man greeting him.
"Prince, Damascus, We are honored to have you join us."
"My deepest apologies for my late arrival." he answered as he walked down the dock. "We had a problem with the plane's engine." He truly did not have to explain himself to the man, but he didn't care. Turning back to the giant waterplane, he looked to see his butler and another man unloading his suitcase. He only had one, but it was more of a giant trunk, six feet long. "Could you please direct me to my quarters, please? and also would you be so kind as to tell them that I am continuing on to the resort lobby ahead of them."
"Of course, Sir."
Damascus walked off the dock to The resort as he said he would, but noticed that a few of the other attendees were on the beach speaking to each other. Changing direction, he walked up and spoke, "Greetings friends. How are you enjoying this fine day?"
Edit: Sorry, It took me forever to write this, and I did not notice the other posts right before it. I'll Tag amelia, but I really do not feel like re-writing it right now. sorry for my laziness.
So Chris decided to figure out how to talk to them all.
He turns to Aziz: "I don't like having rivals."
He turns to Amalea: "Thank you for explaining something I probably would have asked you later."
He turns to the "dude": "I just jumped into an ocean from a helicopter and then met a giant ass pet cat. I am spectacular."
Speaking of said giant ass cat, why hasn't anyone noticed it?
A slight wave was all he managed to pull off to Katherine, granted she'd already turned and nearly left before he could begin the action. He had no clue how to greet the single Queen and the rapid appearance of another man further left him in the dust. It would appear that Chris was more adept to changes like this, the French Prince handled each answer virtually in speed with the upcoming person. Aziz mentally chided himself on his slowness to respond, it wouldn't sit well for Kesh if he couldn't keep up with rapid and unexpected conversations.
"Glad to finally meet you Queen Amalea. It's also good to hear about the story of the crown from the woman herself," Aziz was warm yet still formal in his behavior. Since he didn't quite know whether or not she would claim Royal precedence in this situation, he instead treated her with the respect one's elder is back in Kesh. Off the bat, he found her overly straight forward in fact back home she'd be considered rude maybe even pretentious...not that he had room to judge. "As you can expect, in Kesh the common story of your ascension is more rumor than fact. If possible, I'd like to hear what really happened some point in the future...perhaps over dinner?" This had bought him enough time to rack his memory on the other man present. Shock actually appeared in his voice, and to a far lesser extent on his face when it clicked.
"Prince Damascus of the UK? I must say, I was under the impression that you weren't attending. But I must say, it's far better that you showed up." Aziz just honestly voiced his opinion on what information he had hinted towards. Sure it meant another male was around to potentially hurt his chance of finding a bride and thus ascend to the throne. But it also meant that there were enough males for 'the guys' to hang around if they so chose. At this point, Farah got on her hind legs to put her face into his...clearly not happy she wasn't the center of attention.
Startled by the tiger jumping up on Aziz, Damascus first took a step back in shock, then half a second later regained his composure and examined the Cat. "My, but she is beautiful. She is tame I assume?"

"Aziz Verthragnan, pleasure to meet you Katherine," Aziz reflexively offered a polite but neutral response to the younger princess. With something of a chuckle he commented, "If I had known Farah would be so popular,I would have insisted the resort let me bring Natasha as well. That lioness keeps Farah better behaved than anything, but I barely managed to convince them Farah wouldn't cause trouble." A quick headcount reminded Aziz that just about every royal that had caught his attention was now present. If this had been due to Farah, it had been the better call...Natasha wasn't exactly the best at letting people get too close to him. Granted this was a non issue when Farah was around, in which case the lioness would be busy babysitting the other cat.
"Shall we take this elsewhere, the staff and nobles are beginning to stare;perfectly understandable with a Monarch and four royals in such proximity. But even here there's bound to be press and gossip, so a bit of privacy might be for the best." Aziz had nodded in Amelea's direction at monarch then in each person besides her at royals,himself last. Without thinking, he was still giving Amelea royal precedence. He also refrained from asking about Anya and Elisabeth, it would be an unnecessary question at this time.
It was true. His pilot did not seem happy that he had to stand there with all of Chris' bags while he stood there and talked.
"I'll be right back." Chris said as he jogged over to the pilot and took some of his bags from the 40-somthing year old.
"You can't carry your own stuff, Sir." He said to Chris, obviously annoyed that the young prince wasn't listening to his mother's rules again.
"I don't have to listen to mother's odd rules of not taking care of myself way out here. So deal with it." Chris said, balancing on bag on his head as he grabbed two more. He was told to bring a lot, but only brought about five bags worth of things. He did not need ten suits like people told him, so he only brought two.
