Log of the 462nd Session of the High Council of Britannia.

DaKaren: Welcome to the 462nd session of the High Council of Britannia.
DaKaren: I wish to congratulate the re-elected governors, and welcome those new to the office.
DaKaren: May your terms be fruitful and as strife-free as possible.
DaKaren: All new governors may, of course, seek a seat here as well, as councilor of their respective city.
DaKaren: So... *sighs* Another moonstone, that of Wrong, is behind the recreation of an Order-crazed, psychopathic mass-murderer.
DaKaren: Calithiss, the Hierophant of Order from the long-dead Ophidian culture...
Dot Warner: *coughs awkwardly, arcing a brow*
DaKaren: *looks back to Dot, shrugging slightly* has been loosened upon Sosaria.
Dot Warner: *mumbles about Arcodia*
DaKaren: Her goals include the complete destruction of "Chaos."
DaKaren: While that may sound like a potentially beneficial thing, her twisted version of "Order" would likely lead to the annihilation of all organic life.
DaKaren: I think we'd like to avoid that.
DaKaren: My people have seen destructive Order-based ideologies in the past...they rarely ended well for anyone
DaKaren: So, please, those of you who are in a position to act; do so.
Malag aste: Well I can say that destructive tendencies of pure Chaos don't end well either.
DaKaren: This is true.
DaKaren: Both, taken to extremes, are bad.
DaKaren: Grand Marshal Polynikes, would you please brief the Council on military matters in the Kingdom?
Polynikes of Yew: Thank you, Chancellor.

Dot Warner: Still nothing to spend it on....
Dot Warner: Rodrik Von Karl and his flea-bitten minion have been harassing my citizens.
Dot Warner: In fact, the waste of skin actually got himself on the ballot!
Dot Warner: He lost, obviously, but not before he distributed a mocking, off-brand bottles of booze claiming to be from me...
Goldie: I believe it
Dot Warner: *points to the bottle, sighing*
Cobweb: me too

Guntur Kivlov: Malag?
John: Everyone ok?
Polynikes of Yew: I have the door
John: *nods*
John: *salutes*

Malag aste: Imagine that.
John: *chuckling*
Thom Jameison: *nods*
Dot Warner: Rodrik also placed little care packages around the bank...resulting in several people needing a healer's services, and at least one requiring an undertaker.
Dot Warner: Here is one such package... Do not touch it.
John: I can promise Governor Warner that I will not touch your package.
Dot Warner: It's quite 'splodey.

Dot Warner: That would be the same one who was just here.
Farimer Tensus: Aye! It was a vile attack as this was!
John: The one I call Governor Warner's apparition.
Farimer Tensus: *whispers*
Malag aste: Was the same one who attacked Martyna last Tuesday.
Dot Warner: He, John and I managed to chase him off.
PabII: he is also a slaver I hear
Farimer Tensus: I may say his target was better chosen this time though
Farimer Tensus: *chuckles*
John: *chuckling*
Malag aste: I remember the disgusting smell of its matted fur.
Dot Warner: Thus, effective immediately, the City of Britain hereby issues a warrant for Rodrik Von Karl...dead or alive.
Dot Warner: I think we all know which the taxpayers would prefer.
Farimer Tensus: *bangs staff on ground*
PabII: Dead, preferably
Dot Warner: The mutt should simply be neutered and tossed off the Gung Farmer's Bridge in a burlap sack. *smirks*
Thom Jameison: Due processes my good folks.
Martyna Z'muir: Vicious!
Malag aste: *twirls blade in his hand before beginning to calmly clean the underside of his nails*
Dot Warner: At any rate, neither of them is welcome in Britain.
Malag aste: Neutered eh?
Dot Warner: *smirks*
Dot Warner: In less...boisterous...news...

Thom Jameison: *nods and smiles*
Kittie: Moonglow has quite a large sum in the coffers.. but I fear that Moonglow has lost its shine and luster over these many years. .
Malag aste: Perhaps Sparky can help with that.... since he seems to have been deposited outside your zoo.
Kittie: I aim to bring Moonglow back to the status it once was many moons ago, when it looked like that of a fresh pressed coin. *smiles softly* I first aim to have a town meeting on Wednesday to discuss the trade deal.
Kittie: *chuckles* Aye. He is a "fiery" one isn't he?
Malag aste: *smiles*
Martyna Z'muir: This coming Wednesday?

DaKaren: We do maintain a calendar, however, to help you avoid conflicts.
Malag aste: We only inquire to add the event to the calendar.
Kittie: I-I will be sure to check with such. *nods* And be certain to add to it.
Kittie: I-I also have quite a few, idea's, to help Moonglow back to its once "glowing" status. However, in the meantime, I would first like to thank Lady Jennifer-Marie for the close race that was met.

Malag aste: She too was reelected.
Malag aste: There is of course the danger that looms with the Virtues with the problems with these stones.
Malag aste: And I'm most concerned about the Hierophant of Order trying to eradicate all things Chaos.
Malag aste: We must maintain balance to survive.
DaKaren: *nods*
Malag aste: As well I remind everyone that we are still missing our Minister of Foreign Affairs Minister Todie
DaKaren: *frowns*
