Post by Lord DaKaren » Sat Jul 22, 2017 4:03 pm

Log of the 501st Session of the High Council of Britannia.

DaKaren: Welcome to the 501st session of the High Council of Britannia.
Ariel Thorne: *glances about nervously*
DaKaren: Britannia has remained in a relative state of overall peace. The usual suspects have remained suspiciously silent for the last year.
DaKaren: Let us not fall into a false sense of security, however... Please remain vigilant.
DaKaren: A wolf of legend from the Isle of Deeds has suddenly joined the rainbow unicorn as a now oft-owned companion animal.
DaKaren: It is distinctly possible that someone discovered the remnants of one of Mondain's cloning facilities...or someone is successfully casting the erratic Clone spell. *surreptitiously glances at Advocate DeSule*
Dr Jerred DeSule: *balks*
DaKaren: Fortunately, these creatures have been of the benevolent variety. So far.
Dr Jerred DeSule: I'm quite certain my family has nothing to do with this.
DaKaren: *smirks*
DaKaren: Indeed, Advocate.
DaKaren: *looks for Governor Diem, but does not see him*
DaKaren: *sighs*
DaKaren: Former Minister Hla'ate has formally submitted his name for the position of Grand Marshal of the Britannian Armed Forces.
Janice Andrysiak: *slyly reads a hidden novel behind a stack of papers*
DaKaren: The High Council may appoint a Grand Marshal via a majority vote...which I would like to conduct now.
DaKaren: Are there any questions for the applicant from the Council?
Mr E: Sure
Guntur Kivlov: I have none.
Janice Andrysiak: *looks up from book*
Mr E: *cracks neck*
Jennifer-Marie: Not I
DaKaren: Go ahead Councilor E...
Mr E: What was your relationship like with the previous Grand Marshall
Malag aste: I served under him as a Field Marshal I did for a brief time serve in the Yew Militia as well.
Malag aste: Our relationship was one of a professional nature.
Mr E: But how was your relationship. You served happily? You agreed with his views and his commands
Malag aste: I followed orders as directed. To what are you implying?
Mr E: Was our previous Grand Marshall the standard we will get from you.
Mr E: Will you leave me lost in a cave. Lock up the building to keep citizens out?
Farrah: *stares anxiously*
Malag aste: As outlined in my application I do intend to uphold the law of the land, protect the Citizens and serve in accordance with the Virtues to the best of my abilities.
DaKaren: I wish to lock this down
Farrah: And those values will come first and foremost?
Farrah: Over your commands?
John: *glances at the Chancellor curiously*
Mr E: So the Chancellor is locking people up and our applicant is more of the same. Got it.
Farrah: Now Dear, give him a chance...
Malag aste: The laws of the land and the virtues are first and foremost always.
Dr Jerred DeSule: *looks uncomfortable*
Farrah: *nods*
DaKaren: If you mean suspected criminals, that is the job of any officer of the law...
Farrah: Thank you
DaKaren: Councilor Kivlov?
Guntur Kivlov: Due to Malag Aste's years of dedication to the realm, and service to this esteemed council,
Guntur Kivlov: I have no questions
John: *glances at the Chancellor curiously again, sighing and shaking his head*
DaKaren: Anyone else?
Farrah: I have no more questions

Dot Warner: First Place went to Lady Kitty of -Y-, Second Place went to Meriadoc of THEV, while Third Place went to Bobby Boxhead of GTO.
Dot Warner: There was an allegation of an illegal Recall spell being employed during the race, though no empirical or even circumstantial evidence of such an act.

Mr E: Our trade is strong.
Janice Andrysiak: *balks*
