Log of the HC Emergency Session 4/05/16

Post by Lord DaKaren » Wed Apr 06, 2016 2:27 am

DaKaren: Welcome to this unnumbered, emergency session of the High Council.
DaKaren: Due to yesterday’s suicide bombing, I thought it prudent to issue a decree, pursuant to Article IV, Section H, regarding the safety of those within the Civic Center.
DaKaren: The gist of the decree is that all parties entering this hall will be searched for explosive and poisonous substances and that only acknowledged B.A.F. members may possess ranged weapons.
DaKaren: Magic, is, admittedly not on that list…but I believe that Grand Marshal’s prior prohibition against unnecessary spellcasting still stands.
DaKaren: Of course offensive spellcasting is entirely prohibited by non-B.A.F. members within these premises.
DaKaren: Furthermore, I believe that we need to update the treason statute…which is rather vague, as well as add a terrorism statute to the list of high crimes.
DaKaren: You may fine definitions for both in the books before you.
Hakuna Matata: *gasps out of breath*
Hakuna Matata: Is you all impowrtant peeple?
DaKaren: Please read them and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
John: Is the decree in effect now?
Hakuna Matata: *catches breath*
John: *eyeing Hakuna's bow*
DaKaren: Theoretically.
Hakuna Matata: *hugs bow*
Hakuna Matata: Stuff I spose to bring here
John: You are, by new rules by which the meetings are conducted, ordered to holster or shoulder your bow
Hakuna Matata: Places bow over shoulder
John: Thank you.
Hakuna Matata: *nods*
DaKaren: *nods to John*
Hakuna Matata: I takes off all da arrows
DaKaren: *reads over notes*
DaKaren: *sighs*
Hakuna Matata: *Cries*
John: *watching the strange exchange*
DaKaren: Governor E has been kidnapped...
Earlhad Todie: oh my
Kittie: *blinks*
Hakuna Matata: *cries more*
DaKaren: The ransom note does not have a name.
Kittie: *growls*
Kittie: Isn't it obvious?
DaKaren: *nods to Kittie*
DaKaren: Most likely.
Hakuna Matata: You know who did it. I go get him back!!!!
Kittie: *sighs*
DaKaren: The kidnapper wants a platinum for his safe return, or they will kidnap another governor...or the king.
Dot Warner: The king? Seriously?
Kittie: There's no way he'd go after the king..
Kittie: he's not THAT stupid.
Hakuna Matata: He... he who?
pabII: really
Dot Warner: I'd love to watch him try.
John: Where is Governor Farrah.
Bentley: Last I saw she was boarding a merchant ship for travels and wares for the Underground Auction
Kittie: I doubt he'd get past the gates.
pabII: I will slice him off at the waist if I can get close
DaKaren: I believe we are assuming that 'he' is Rodrik von Karl or one of his men.
Kittie: Of course.. who else!?
Earlhad Todie: This is obvious retaliation for the 500mil reward Governor E offered
pabII: who else
John: Or an attempt to make it look like one.
Kittie: I say we offer 1 platinum for Rodrik’s capture this time. Up the ante!
DaKaren: The gentleman asked a question, I was merely endeavoring to provide him with an answer..
pabII: aye
John: *sighing, whispering to Tanda*
DaKaren: Sadly, this dovetails into updating the treason statute...
Dot Warner: Been prognosticating again, have you?
DaKaren: *shifts*
DaKaren: No.
DaKaren: Are there questions or concerns about the statutes?
Earlhad Todie: none here
pabII: none here
Hakuna Matata: You have pretty statues here
Kittie: Well, I'm not going to stand idly by .. Governor Farrah is my friend.. and if he has Mr. E.. then I plan on getting him back.
Kittie: ... none here.
Dot Warner: Let's fillet the bastards.
DaKaren: *looks to Tanda*
DaKaren: As a former Justicar, what do you think?
Kittie: I fully intend on bringing Rodrick to justice.. one piece at a time if need be.
Tanda: about the changes to the law?
Tanda: or about the missing?
Bentley: Everything looks in order, Governor Farrah would support all this
DaKaren: The statutes
Tanda: I understand the need to step up security
Tanda: the searches I have no trouble with
Tanda: it seems prudent

Malag aste: Pardon my lateness.
Tanda: I for one would be quite happy to come in skyclad
Tanda: if it'd help
Tanda: *grins*

DaKaren: I do not believe that will be necessary...
John: *blushes*
Tanda: Though I'm a little concerned about the
Kittie: It's okay Malag.. Mr. E however has been kidnapped.
Tanda: "any act of violence"

Malag aste: *furrows brow*
Malag aste: Well I do remember you as a tree once...
Tanda: are all acts of violence aren't reprehensible
