OOC: This is collab post between me and Legokiller.


Meanwhile back in Vulshain...

Eszter Melisa Cantu, Vulshain's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Relations, had been informed that the nation of Legokiller had invited His Majesty, King Samuil Rainard to visit their nation. "Seems everyone is wanting to invite him these days," she thought to herself. Luckily, she had been able to get the phone number of Legokiller's foreign affairs minister Kimiko Dai. Eszter immediately contacted her. She tapped her pen against her notepad, waiting for someone to pick up the phone.

Kimiko Dai was siting down at the Foreign Affairs office checking on her emails. Most of them were just junk and some dilpomatic reports from some unknow nation in Antarctica. She frowned on those reports, mainly it was a waste of time to talk to people in ice houses and "talking penguin with tribe nations". Just then, before she was going to make an mass email to talk about waste of time diplomacy, the phone ringed, she look at the caller ID on the phone, and it was from Vulshain's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Relations office. "Great, Vulshain got my email. Now this will be interesting," she thought as she picked up the phone and answer it. "Hello, this is Foreign Minister Kimiko Dai speaking."

When Minister Dai answered, Eszter smiled and replied, "Yes, this is Minister Eszter Melisa Cantu of Foreign Affairs and Relations for the Confederacy fo Vulshain. I'm calling in regards to His Highness, King Samuil Rainard. I wish to inform you that he is delighted by your invitation and will indeed be visiting. There are some questions and concerns will must addressed first." She waited for a reply.

"Alright, address your questions and concerns for your Highness visiting Legokiller, Cantu."

Eszter cleared her throat and asked. "As you are probably aware of, there was an assassination attempt on King Rainard just before he left for his first state visit to our western neighbor, Southern Yugoslavia. Now, while His Majesty was unharmed, three people were injuried. King Rainard is concerned that if another assassin tries to attack him, more innocents will be hurt." She continued. "While he refuses to hide in fear of terrorists and assassins, he is concerned about the welfare of your people. My question is how will security be handled upon his arrival in your nation? And please be as detailed as possible."

"Well hearing how your nation is concerned about terrorists and assassins trying to murder King Rainard and he refuses to hide in fear of them makes one of the better opinions not a good choice. So security around Las Vegas will be up tight with military units patrolling the streets around the route on the way to the Bizzard Palace and around it as well."

"Ask for more details on the military units, they probably will bring in APC tanks, anti-terror squards, and a bunch of soldiers in. I can't explain too much on that part, but I'm sure that none will touch the king on his visit here."

Eszter nodded. "That is good. King Rainard will probably want to tour some of your capital's historical landmarks and buildings. He will be travelling with members of his family and government. Also, there's no problem if your soldiers touch the king. Unlike other nations, we don't have such stigma about touching royalty."

She smiled. "Awesome, most of the soldiers patrolling are young so I bet my sister will probably shake hands with him, if he minds meeting some of the troops."

"Oh he shouldn't mind one bit. In fact he would probably insist on meeting them, being a veteran himself. If possible, the king would probably like to visit some of your famous and historical towns and cities."

"It is possible for your king to visit some of the famous landmarks and historical buildings, like the Lion Tower and the Ancient Great Voyager of the Seas fountain. Of course, it will be cut off from tourists and citizens hduring the private tour to these landmarks and historical buildings"

"That's understandable. Although the king would much prefer otherwise, but he'll understand that it's for his protection. Also, the members of his family traveling to your nation are: his sisters: Royal Confederate Premier Cecilia Rainard, Royal Secretary Taisyia Rainard, Marshal of the Vulshainian Military Natalka Rainard, and the king's grandmother: Queen Dowager Anatansya Olekalexein. They will be traveling with him. Also, are there any customs or traditions that we should know about beforehand for when King Rainard meets your head of state? For example, is it customary to bow, and if so, how much should King Rainard bow? Or are there other traditions we should know about?"

"It's not mandatory to bow or any customs on meeting the head of state, just a hand shake will be needed."

"Thank you. Now, are there any customs or taboos will should be made aware of? Anything that you can tell me would be of great assistance and would be most appreciated."

"First importation tradition, there is no alcoholic beverages in Legokiller, ever. Second tradition, exotic animals like penguins are pets in the state, because of this many of the pet stores around will sell many different types of tame animals. Third custom is that cookies will be served with desserts."

"I see. I don't see any problem with those traditions. Is there anything else you can tell me?"

"Noting too important, if your king doesn't mind if the government system is ruled by the people, then we're okay."

"I don't see him any sort of problem with that. I thank you for your assistance. You have been a great help, and we appreciate all that you have done. I will inform His Majesty of what you told me. Again thank you."

"No problem Mrs. Cantu. It's an honor for your king visiting our nation soon. Good bye."

Cantu said goodbye as well before hanging up the phone. She then began typing out a report to email to His Majesty at once."

((collab between Vulshain and I)).

Ikrisia wiped her arms off with a towel. "Thank you, pleased to meet you." She bowed moderately out of a sign of respect, as her hands were wet and she didn't feel like shaking hands. She lefted her foot to remove a fin. "Sorry we couldn't meet on more normal circumstances."

"It is perfectly alright," Anna said. "I see you were testing out your friend's new invention. I was going to volunteer to assist in testing as well, under specific conditions."

Ikrisia nodded, still out of breath from the whole ordeal.

"Specific conditions?" Visela asked. Her ears moved slightly.

"Yes. Specific conditions," Anna repeated. She walked over to the much smaller vixen, talking to someone who was a subordinate. "But first I must know: how long will experiment last?"

Visela looked up at her, but then adjusted her collar defiantly.

"I know this looks bad, but I should probably change," Ikrisia replied. "You'll have to excuse me, I will try to be quick."

"As long as I can test someone as," Visela replied, changing the subject albeit subtly. "This gear is designed to keep a vulpine sustained underwater, then it should last as long as it can."

Anna narrowed her eyes as she looked down at Visela, like a drill instructor furious with a smart-mouth cadet. Her ears flattened against her head. "That doesn't answer my question," she replied. When Ikrisia said that she was changing, Anna's expression changed to a friendly personality. "Okay. Now. You and my brother run along and have some fun." She then turned back to look at Visela, and for more of a better answer.

The change in demeanor didn't faze Vesila. She was never a shrewd individual, but she was tough and held great expectations for her inventions. This wasn't something to have fun with or write in one's memoirs when they were old and frail. To her, this was blinding sunlight on the horizon, the horizon to a brighter future with more opportunities. "Again, that depends on how much time you wish to devote to vulpine progress. This is very important to me, so I would prefer as long as you can."

Anna listened and then said. "How about two months?"

"Six."

Anna glared at her. "Three months is my final offer. You must remember that I am not a prisoner or a criminal you can merely experiment on, but a foreign national. I will go no less than three and you will go no more than three." She stood firmed and resolute in her condition.

Visela tucked her clipboard between herself and her arm. She saw great potential in using two prominent people from using and testing her work. "Very well. But this is an experiment. That much I cannot stress enough."

"Very well. My other condition is that I am able to visit my family in Vulshain for one week for each month."

Visela furrowed her brow. "Wouldn't it be difficult to travel in the outfit?"

"Am I to keep the suit on for the entirey of the three months?" Anna was starting not to like this scientist, no matter how brilliant or cute how butt was.

"Otherwise it'd be breaks in action, which I've already performed with Premier Levinile."

"I see. I will take these breaks in action then. It will create the realistic situation of being stationed aboard an underwater lab or research station on the coastline. As I don't think someone would walk around a station with flipps on. And being a foreign national, will I be compensated for assisting in this project?"

"Oh no," Visela said, "you'll need to keep them on, all of it on, as it adds to the psychological aspects of the project." Of course she had made up the last part of the project. But she could tell this person was either trying to or just unfortunately getting under her skin, and as she was altering her experiment, she felt compelled to do so too. Plus it could be a humbling experience for the Vulshainian. "But yes, you will be compensated. Vekaiyuns are required to compensate non-prisoners in experiments."

"And how do you expect me to use the bathroom or even eat or sleep with all of that on?" Anna glared at her with a look that could kill an elephant.

"You need not worry," she replied calmly. "The outfit will take care of all of it."

Anna sighed. "Very well. But you better be sure that those functions of the suit work. For another condition: you will have to modify the suit, because: I. Am. Not. Cutting. Off. My. Tail." Anna stressed the fact, for she knew that Vekaiyuns cut off their tails in order to swim better, but she wasn't a Vekaiyun, and no self-respecting Vulshainian would dare mutilate their body in such a manner

"What makes you think it does not provide for a tail?" she asked. "Premier Levinile hasn't a tail and therefore her outfit doesn't require it. But the other prototype does."

"Good. Now for my last conditions." Anna smiled a wicked and naughty smile. She was wagging her tail too. She was looking at and checking out Visela.

"And what is that?"

Anna put an arm around Visela. "Before we start the experiment, you and I go out on a night on the town, go out to dinner. And we come back and have sex. And remember you must agree to my conditions, or I do not take part in your experiment. You do want me to help you with this experiment, yes?"

Visela shurked her off. "No."

"Oh? What's wrong? You do want me to help you yes?"

"And I still do," she replied.

"So, it's not like you would get into any trouble for doing this? Or are you too scared of the big, sexy Vulshainian?" Anna enjoyed toying with this Vekaiyun. She wasn't a cruel or mean-spirited. She was simply a fun-loving person.

"Neither," she replied as she switched off her voice recording device. "I talk to myself when I run experiments, as most people speak faster than they write anyway. Today, I'm glad I used it." Visela smiled.

Anna smiled. "Let me guess you plan on blackmailing me, right?"

"I don't plan such things," Visela replied. "But under the right circumstances, it can happen."

Instead of being mad, Anna laughed. "One problem: it's common knowledge back home that I'm bisexual, and I'm a big flirt."

"And unfortunately, I know it as well." Sam had come back into the room. "For crying out loud, Anna! Do you have to flirt with anyone Vekaiyun you see?"

"What? They are cute and sexy, especially this one." Anna was referring to Visela.
Visela was flabergasted. How did scientific progress turn into smut? "So... we can commence the experiment at any given moment."

Anna shrugged. "Yes."

"However, I would like to request Premier Levinile to have one last birthday party. It maybe late, but still that doesn't mean we can celebrate Anna's birthday," Sam said. "And if Anna can keep her hands off your butt." Anna retracted her hand from touching Visela's backside. She mumbled something. "Besides, I hope Visela will at least give me a night on the town before we start the experiments, to give me at least one night of enjoyment before I have to wear the device."

Visela paused. "Very well," she replied monotonously.

"And you still have to--"

"Anna."

"Fine. Why not do a coin toss to see if she gets in bed then?"

Sam rolled his eyes and looked at Visela. "You want to leave it up to fate to decide?"

"No I don't," Visela added. "I must prepare for tomorrow then."

"I didn't think so, and to be honest, neither would I. And as for you." He looked at Anna. "Please Anna, behave yourself. I know we just got you back, but please don't do anything stupid. And one more thing: while you were bisexual, you always did lean towards men than you did women."

"What can I say: I'm a terrible flirt. And Sam."

"Yes," he asked.

"It's good to see you again." She wagged her tail.

Sam smiled and nodded. "You too, Anna."

Anna placed her arm around Visela. "They've been waiting many years to find me. And now they're waiting three more months before they see me again. You know what that is?"

"No?"

"It's called love and happiness. They love me, and know that I'm alive. They know I have responsibilites to do, but they're nonetheless happy to see me alive and well. Love is one of the few things in the universe that science can never ever truly explain. I guess the Almighty meant it to be that way." She took her arm off from around Visela. She got one naughty idea and playfully slapped Visela on the butt. She quickly walked away laughing.

Visela angrily wrote something down on her clipboard, choosing not to respond.

Sam sighed. "I apologize for my sister. She probably was doing that just to get a reaction from you. Don't look into it that much. She does, or did had a boyfriend back home, but I haven't heard what happened to him after the Civil War. Oh and one more thing." He held out his hand. "The tape you recorded, please?"

"That is property of the Vekaiyun government," she replied. "It has experimental observations essential to my work on it."

Sam took back his hand. "Then I must ask you not to blackmail my sister. Now tell me: what would you gain by blackmailing her?"

"Scientific progress," she replied. "I cannot afford to waste more time on experimentation and test subjects with ulterior motives."

Sam nodded. "I understand. But I can ensure you that my sister has no such ulterior motives. I guess her cutting up earlier was just her way of feeling alive again. From what I gathered from the CPG who brought her here, she was in a Vekaiyun hospital because she was in a coma, and she had suffered head trauma during the Civil War in my country that caused her lose her memory. She's only recently regained those lost memories, but there's probably a few missing pieces there and she's trying to restore them as best she can." He turned and looked at Visela. "Listen Visela. My sisters and brother are all I have left of my family. We lost our parents in the Civil War, and we've been separated for many years. My sister is a good person, and I can vouch for her: she will be extremely hardworking. She is one of the most decorated veterans of the Vulshainian Civil War now. And Visela: give my sister a chance, to make up for what she earlier, okay?"

Visela nodded after writing some more stuff down. "She will of course have plenty of time."

"Thank you. I appreciate you giving her a chance to make amends." He then slightly bowed to her and left.

Anna sighed as she put on her Vulshainian Naval uniform. She couldn't believe how she had acted towards Visela. "Damn it, Anna! When are you going to learn?" Those were her brother's own words, and hers as well. She straightened her tie. She checked herself in the mirror. Earlier today, they had celebrated her birthday. Sure her birthday was on August 8, but still, celebrating her birthday with her family made her feel alive again. She had even called Erik to wish him luck in the Olympics, since he had a swimming event tomorrow. She put on her peaked hat and went to meet Visela. She saw her. "Ah Dr. Elestri. I want to tell you something, something important."

Visela appeared to be writing equations down in her notepad. She looked up and blinked her eyes a bit, apparently spending the day doing various derivations in an attempt to gain a better understanding of a particular concept. "Yes?" she asked.

Anna told her. "I want to apologize for the way I acted yesterday. It was very immature and uncalled for. I shouldn't have treated you that way. While there are still parts of my memories missing, it gives me no excuse for what I did I hope you will accept my sincere apology." Her voice was filled with sincerity. "You have my word that I will not act that way again."

"Apology accepted, but we'll even the score later." Visela paused to think. "I don't normally go out and socialize. I admit I'm about as in the dark as a foreigner sometimes. I've only been in the capital for a few months now - I'm much more familiar with Tuko, which is where I lived for a few years before coming here. Still, there's a place where one can get good kikale about five blocks to the east and one block south." She shrugged. "I'm not much of an expert on taste though."

"Very well. We are leaving now?" She looked at her notes. "I think I can afford some time for eating. Such a bother, it is. One day I will..." she paused as she scratched an ear in thought. "One day... yes, I'll create a means to deliver food so no one needs to waste productivity by breaking for meals." Smiling, she wrote something down and began to outline a few equations. "Anyway, sorry. If I get an idea I must write it down so it will be done. We can go now, if you want."

Anna was a little puzzled. "So, you don't socalize a lot, I take it. Well, Visela, first we need to get you out of that labcoat...and..." Anna sniffed the air. "Oh good Lord! When was the last time you took a bath!? And no don't you dare think of something where people can take baths without getting wet! Now come on, if we are going out on the town, you need to be presentable. Do you have anything to wear? I might have something, or one of my sisters might. Now come on!"

"No time," she replied. "I need to ready my experiment for tonight and commence work on various projects. I will need to assemble a team for this attempt to increase productivity. Well, after I determine the theory behind it, which shouldn't be too difficult. Only, this time I'll be sure to ask for my test subjects in advance." She smiled. "I do happen to take showers, though. What you smell is probably formaldehyde."

"Well it stinks! You need to learn to relax. If you keep stressing out like this, you will die of a heart attack at an early age. You should take a break once in a while. Oh and the idea of bringing food to people so they can keep working is very stupid idea." She looked at Visela's notes, making a few of them out. She was having a difficult time being around Visela. "You can't work yourself death. Besides, if I'm going to help you around here, I need to learn how you work and operate, so I help take the load off you at times. So, you tell me what to do while you get ready, okay?"

"It is not a dumb idea!" she replied as she closed her notepad. "If the average person spends 1.5 hours on eating, and is awake for 15 hours in the day, that's ten percent of every day lost to productivity! Especially considering people eat during peak performance hours! A study published in the 2007 Advances in Vulpine Pysche journal revealed most people are most productive during the hours of 10 pm to 3 pm each day, and lunch runs right in the middle of that time frame!" She paused. "But I guess it can wait. For now. Nevertheless, I can still take a break for something to eat."

"What is her problem? She's either nutty than a fruitcake or she's just weird that way." "Look, it doesn't matter, but while it's a good idea, there people out there who wouldn't want you to invent it: corporations, unions, and politicians. Believe me those types of people you don't want to mess with. And wouldn't making this device cost some people there jobs. Also, the reason why people have lunch breaks at work is because the business doesn't have to pay them to eat lunch. If they eat while they work, that's more money going into the employees' pockets and not enough into the employer's pockets. You have to think about how your invention will affect everyone, not just a specific group. Anyhow, we need to get you cleaned up. Go take a shower, put on presentable clothes, and then's go get that kikalene."

Anna followed Visela as the Vekaiyun led the Vulshainian to the restaurant.

The two arrived at a moderately-busy Vekaiyun establishment. Men and women were eating and socializing while others outside of the restaurant were gallivanting around in search of some entertainment. The Elduran Underwater Hockey Team was playing that night, but they weren't going there. Instead, they walked into the business, which had an inviting atmosphere. The floor was covered in slate tile, and much of the establishment was covered in jaku wood or some kind of cherry wood substitute, except for most of the walls which were painted a warm off-white color. Fans gently waved from above, joined by the gentle breeze from the outside, letting in the pleasant weather from an evening Eldura. As jazz music hummed through the stereo, both ordered some kikale from a young waitress wearing a white shirt under a black vest and bowtie, and a skirt.

"Anyway, a typical Elduran restaurant, as far as I know. Is this why you wanted to have dinner?" she asked. Her water arrived quickly. "Thank you," she replied to the waitress. "There's not much to it. Waiters won't sit by your table because they want you to not feel pressured or something. So you need to get their attention if you want something. That and Vekaiyuns don't believe in tipping."

Anna nodded after thanking the waiter as well. "I actually wanted to visit Eldura since this where my father was born and raised before he met my mother and moved to Vulshain. You can imagine the culture shock and having to adapt to Vulshain's customs he experienced." Anna drank some of her water. "I can only imagine how homesick he must have felt, and the dread of what was happening here when Max came to power." Someone nearby heard Max's name mentioned, and quickly muttered a very obscene curse about Max and Maxism.

Anna, paying no attention to the cursing, continued. "I look forward to working with you on the diving suit, Visela. I purpose a toast." She raised her glass. "To scientific progress and the excitment of forging the future."

Vesila clinked her glass with hers. "Vekaiyu wasn't horrible under him. It wasn't good, but he did re-install a sense of pride that had been lacking in our nation. Of course, it was a bit too much." She drank some of her water. "Levinile's still kind of riding the recent successes of kicking out maxism and giving us a legislature, but there's still a lot of work to be done. Vekaiyu's been a nation that's had a difficult time of trying to keep itself together. But it's getting better."

Anna nodded. "Of course it was probably a whole lot better than living under Merrill Rivers. At least Max didn't send people to death camps where they would skin you alive and turn your fur into coats and scarves for Republican Regime flunkies to wear. Rivers probably was the literal definition of dictator." Anna drank her water. "After Rivers was overthrown and my grandmother was restored to power, Vulshain had a hard time rebuilding, but we managed to restore. That is until the Civil War started. You know a lot of people think that Max had a hand in the Vulshain's Civil War back when it started in 2002, but I don't believe that do you?"

"He had multiple." Vesila rolled her eyes and began counting on her fingers. "He was a sensationalist, refusing to believe the truth and instead sometimes created his own reality. Then there was the whole growing up without a mother and dating people way older than he was to sort of fill that void. He also was fascinated in stuff like magic. Stuff that's scientifically impossible. And he had a temper, which netted him very little friends, and a lot of enemies. Finally, he didn't listen to people who knew better than he did." She paused. "I'm not a leader. But I guess if you're going to lead you have to have good ears in addition to a good brain."

Anna nodded. "I see. And that is true: in order to lead you have to be a good listener. And Rivers had his vexes too." Anna had to count. She ran out of fingers as she counted. "Well, he was a human supremist, as he believed that humans were the best thing since sliced bread. He also believed that humans had the right to do whatever they wanted to non-humans, be it murder or rape. He also allowed scientists...actually I should say mad scientists conduct experiments that can only be described as vile and just plain evil to be performed on innocent people. He also tried to destroy Vulshain's cultural heritage as well. So, in way, Rivers was a nightmare. Problem was he listened to his advisors. Unfortunately, his advisors were just as evil as he was. It was only during the Monarchical Revolution and the Republican Regime began to lose did he go crazy and start not listening to advice. Of course, I think he went crazy when he let all of that power go to his head." Anna then noticed the waiter returning. "Ah. Our food has arrived."

"Yeah. That's good."

Visela gently grabbed her fork and ate from her small bowl. "So I guess that's what happens as regimes change," she replied with a shrug. "Never really cared to know I guess. Politics isn't my forte."

Anna chuckled a bit. "Sorry about that. But I'm in agreement with you." She took her fork and before she ate some of her food she said, "I don't really care much for politics." After eating a little she added, "Now science and the military on the other hand I do have an eye for. There's a lot of talk about Vulshain working on some big military projects, some of which my family is supporting."

"Please explain," she requested calmly as she finished another bite of food.

Anna thought for a moment. "Well we are working on some new types of aircraft. You have heard of generations of fighters right? Well, mostly everyone has either fourth, 4.5, or fifth generation fighters. A fifth generation fighter would be the F-22 Raptor. Now, there aren't any six generation fighters out there, but Vulshain is currently working on a sixth generation fighter. In order to do that, the fighter will have to have enhanced capabilities in areas such as reach, persistence, survivability, net-centricity, situational awareness, human-system integration, and weapons effects. It will also have to counter adversaries equipped with next generation advanced electronic attack, sophisticated integrated air defense systems, passive detection, integrated self-protection, directed energy weapons, and cyber attack capabilities. I can't tell you all the details, but we have been working something like this for a while now. We are also working on some railgun weaponry and some laser technology too. Vulshain is quite well-known for its engineering feats. We also have some very powerful missiles at our disposal too. We're hoping that the trade agreements with Southern Yugoslavia will benefit both nations greatly."

Anna ate some of her food. "I wonder if Vekaiyu will agree to research and trade agreements as well. It would be foolhardy not to do so as such agreements would allow both of our nations to pool our resources together."
