Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“It is,” Kallithyia agreed as she leaned over the younger woman’s shoulder and looked towards her, the stars looked simply amazing as they reflected in her eyes, “it makes one wonder how anything so large could ever truly function and not just collapse in on itself from its own weight.”

OOC: Well at least I can spare you feelings now by not having to say your failing miserably.

"Well, the ship stops there, but there will be others going just about anywhere. I figured everyone could choose their path at Meridian. Oh, look."

*Catullus points to the rigging, where Kalli and Lavinia have come abovedecks, attempting to climb to the crow's nest. Kalli has fallen on her behind, but she picks herself up and they climb up to the crow's nest, though Lavinia looks like she is in danger of falling several times.*

"Yes, it is amazing...I'm afraid to think that it is the rigid hierarchy of the Empire that lets it survive and grow to such a large size. Compare it to a more liberated culture, like the tribes of Conacia..."

(OOC: On the contrary. I can't possibly have failed if I wasn't trying to do it in the first place )

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“It could very much be,” Kallithyia agreed but reluctantly added uncertain how Lavinia would respond, “but from an outsider perspective I believe it’s size is what has caused the corruption that everyone seems so freely to admit but uncertain how to deal with and that this corruption is also the weight that will destroy it.”

OOC: Quite right. It’s also why I cannot tell you of your failure.

[SBLOCK]*Tiberius stops and looks up from his weapon practice, to see the two women climbing.*

“Well all I can say is I hope they don’t fall, as I don’t have any magic to stop that.”[/SBLOCK]

"Oh, I'm sure that the size does lead to corruption, but the Empire is still demonstrably on the rise...If it will be destroyed, it will not be for many, many years, I think."

"Whew, well it looks like they made it. You'd think that Kallithyia would be a master climber, considering she lived in the jungle and all."

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Indeed, but fighting on so many fronts is dangerous when one has an unsteadying foundation… Your empire’s enemies from the outside will continue to distract while the truly enemies, those from within will, eat till nothing worth salvages will remain,” she nodded her head sadly almost as if she could see the carnage to come, “and then your fellow people, rich and poor alike, will find out how merciful your enemies truly are.” [/sblock]

[SBLOCK]“Maybe she just didn’t climb trees much,” Tiberius chuckles, returning his lance to his back he draws his shortsword before resuming his practice.[/SBLOCK]

"I don't know about that...The enemies within do not eat away so quickly to be dangerous, from what I've seen...That prophecy of doom may come to pass, but not for a long time..."
