^ Busy? Good one....

We have a lot of new members in the Queendom since you've been gone, and Hito has risen from Grand Vizier to Grand Vizier-Consort-King with his marriage to the Queen. We've engaged in one war with demons, fought them back, and we are currently in another war with a much larger group (though it seems to be in a hiatus right now) with fairy magic on our side, since they've taken refuge in the Queendom.

One last thing: the King has acquired the Persimmon Lands, so we have more locales to play with.

One other last thing: Princess Bling has married Prince definingmind, and the people of his kingdom are helping with the war effort, too.

is anyone going to take this orb which could be the turning point in the war or do you want me to take it back to the chibbi-dom?

Seems like it's lively here.

Can someone kindly get me up to speed?

There's nothing more to know except that there's a war going on, and invisible non-played characters like villagers are safe elsewhere, while other warriors are fighting/dying. Chaos all over the place, so on and so forth.

That's it coz nobody wants it and wants to summon the demons arch enemy the allmighty angelus I'm taking it back with me *takes orb and phases out*

Yes, I am a lowly newbie so I am not exactly sure what the Queendom is. I tried looking over some past posts for the thread, but I am still somewhat confused. (I am not sure but is it an RPG?) It seems interesting though and I would like to know more if possible. Thank you!

Walks onto the grounds of the Queendom.*

Yes I know I commited suicide, but I am spontaniusly coming back to life. I will go to protect persimmon land for the meantime.

*phases to persimmon land*

*a note magically appears, stuck to the castle gates with an ornate silver dagger.*

THE END IS NEAR

- the Management

*walks giddly to the throneroom, from her bedroom...*

Good grief... how long have I been... sleeping-??? ?

*yawns*

I'm not dead... just been busy in the bedr-... ...

I did NOT say that...

*snaps fingers and gets into armor*

Ookay, back to the Persimmon Bastions... 9_<

I was judt reading your sig, bling which reminds me what happened to defining?

And why is there a war going on?

Ahh... well DM has to go to bed early, cuz he has work tomorrow early. 9_9... yeah. *sigh* I don't want him staying up late, anyhow...

Ahhh ermmm... we have a war... cuz... *looks at the King and Queen*

Mommy and Daddy dearest said so...

*shrugs*

It's what we call "following orders"...

*note arrives in managers office*

Dear Manager of the Queendom,

Since chaos broke out before I got here I would like to apply for a position of horsewoman of the apocalypse. I'm pretty sure you would be happy with my skills, I have the whole death and distruction thing down pat.

Resume available upon request.

Best regards

Your friend,
Envy.

*message windows pop-up on a soild object next to Bling and thieves*
Apparently, the Queen and King have found some kind of super-alchemy room that the demons are after. From what I remember, they used it to wipe out the previous demon army. We would have used it again, but it takes time to charge.

{And now, another previously posted long post that the system ate. with edits. Complete with unnessesary dramatics and flashy detail}

[Somewhere high above the Queendom]
*FM and Nicolas drop out of a inter-dimentional rift into freefall, each man with his own hover-bike*

FM: DID YOU MESS WITH THE COORDINATES!?

Nicolas: We'll carry out Arrival Plan B. *he guns the engine and speeds aheaad. FM begins to follow suit, but a visual screen of the note from the Management pops up on his screen*

FM: Well then, better hurry. I'm obviously about to miss out on something big. *he hits the turbo and flies past Nicolas as he manuevers past the on-coming fire onto the flight deck of the demon transport ship. being in a rush, he set up a small robot on the back of his bike with a rifle. as he gets into view of several battleships. the robot fires of several explosive rounds that connect with the comm. center on each ship nad every ship they pass. FM continues to fly downward for sometime before breaking through the cloud bank into the battlefield. by then, the robot was overheating and ready to explode. FM sees a low-flying battleship and decides to fly in near the engine. he grabs the robot and chucks it into the engine as he flies by. an explosion occurs, one that blows off the entire end of the ship. it crashes and wipes out the unfortunate demons under it. FM flies past the flying fairy magic and lands on the small pile of rubble that was his former shack. he gets up off the bike and walks toward one of the fairy soldiers, when the bike explodes*

FM: (looks like I forgot to turn on the shields. oh well, at least I brought equipment to fix it this time...) *turns to the fairy soldiers* Where's you commanding officer?

*minutes earlier, Nicolas brings the "demon fodder" to the flight deck. the demon fodder, as it turns out, is a large group of captured humans held on-board the transport ship for demon consumption. they arrive, only to find they have no means for getting off the ship, which is about to self-destruct.*

Nicolas: Maybe I shouldn't have set the timer for only 20 minutes... *he pulls out his own box of infinite storage and expands it enough for a keyboard. he types in a few things, sets it down and takes several steps back. the box expands and produces a transport ship barely enough to take them all*

Nicolas: Knew I should have packed something bigger... *he kicks in his hover-bike and collaspes the box to it's compact size. he checks his watch and sees that he has only 8 left. he turns to the rest of the group as he opens the cargo bay* Everybody on!

*moments later, Nicolas flies off of the flight deck and down toward the Queendom. the transport ship explodes and begins it's own descent. as it falls, it collides with the smaller battleships that happen to get in the way. Nicolas breaks through the cloud bank and beings to evade enemy fire. he looks to his left for a moment and sees the the firey remains of the transport ship come crashing down, wiping out a large number of demons*

Nicolas: (that went better than planned...) *he picks up the head-set* This is transport theta, I have a mixed group of civillains and soldiers on board that need medical attention and proper equipment. Request to land. I repeat...

Mei was continuing her daily rounds from the barracks to the refugee camps when a soldier behind her suddeny shouts, "Holy persimmons, what the hell is that?!!"

She looks to where he's pointing and spots a flaming mass descending from amidst the battleships. With a soft expletive, mei runs back to the castle, in the meantime calling for Kyor to drink that extra vial of draconian SuperGro. Halfway to the castle, mei senses a shadow above her, and Kyor rumbles a greeting. "Lower!" mei shouts. The dragon obligingly flies closer to the ground, and with a quick levitation spell, mei leaps to Kyor's back. With wings beating steadily, Kyor takes the healer to where the flaming battleship falls.

*teleports to where the Royal Healer is... and glomps her*

Long time no see, m'lady!

*realizes that she is in the way of the Healer's progress*

Ehehehehe...

No biggie, Princess, as I am always amazed at your versatility when it comes to glomping. You do know that we're flying astride a full-grown dragon, right?

And there--up ahead! We are approaching the flaming battleship!

*realizes that she is riding on a dragon...*

o0o;;;! Hooooly shuba on a stick! Aaaaah!

*grabs a hold of Lady Mei's waist*

*whimpers*

I'm scared of heights! !

That's not good.

Okay--first order of business: get Princess Bling back on terra firma. How shall we go about this? (I knew I should've outfitted Kyor with emergency parachutes!) Ah yes. Kyor! Would you descend approximately five feet and hold your position, please?

*To the Princess* I'm going to perform a quick spell that will transport you to the ground directly below us. It should only take a second--you'll barely feel it. If you like, you can close your eyes.

*grip on the Lady Healer becomes tighter*

But, but! I don't wanna be alone, anyhow! !

I wanna tag along!

*closes eyes shut*

Are you sure? We're gonna get pretty high pretty soon...

Well, if you're certain you want to come...just close your eyes tightly, then!

*happy shmile*

Okay...

*manfully ignores the height at which she is flying*

By the by, m'lady... whither are we heading?

*after having landeded the transport full of human survivors and brought them to the sick bay for treatment, FM and Nicolas are walking to the statue garden to meet with the Queen. Nicolas, in his typical mono-tone voice, asks FM a question*

Nicolas: Who was that chick on the dragon?

FM: Hm? Ah, that must have been mei tenshi, Royal Healer of the Queendom. She's a very nice person, has a pet dragon named Kyor and... *he stops, then looks back and notices the lack of the prescence of his friend. he sighs, then looks out the window to see Nicolas flying off in mei's and Bling's direction. he sits down and takes a moment to type up a message to mei and Bling*

Dear mei and Bling,
Hello. It's been awhile. Anyhow, the white-haired, charismatic man who will arrive at your location anytime soon. He can be very lecherous at times, despite his militaristic demeanor, and will hit up on any attractive woman he sees. He is an excellent fighter and could help out if you girls get in a dicey situation. If he tries anything funny, slap him silly. He'll most likely dodge you, but attempt anyway.
~FM

*shortly afterward, the message pops up on a window on the back of Kyor's head. minutes later, Nicolas catches up to the trio, startiling them after landing of Kyor's back*

Nicolas: *in a lighter tone* Hello ladies. My name is Nicolas and I'm from Earth. May I ask why you're flying over the enemy encampment toward the enemy demon ship I just destroyed? I assure you, all humans on board were evacuated and brought to your castle safely... Anyhow, did I mention how ravishing you two look...? *slight smile*

*another message box pops up behind Nicolas's head*

V--- is unaware of you marital status.

{*leaves Pocky for next poster*}

IMPORTANT: READ THIS!!!!

ok people here's the deal... this grand experiment of ours has pretty much gone awry; what with the constant fighting and warfare. so i have decided to present a little game for all you kiddies out there; one that will determine whether:

A - I write the most horrific ending of all time, where everyone/everything dies in the worst possible way ever.

B - I write a good closure giving ending where some people may live....maybe, possibly, somehow.

C - I give this whole thing another chance.

so by this point you must be asking, "ok, hito... what the hell is this game you speak of?" very well....

you have until June 12th for all of you to work together and resolve this war in a creative, yet logical way. now i emphasize the word logical here. at the end of this period i will finish reading all the posts i have skipped over and then your resolution. depending on how well i like, it will determine what happens to the queendom and all of you.

here are the categories i'm judging you on:

- continuity
- spelling and grammar
- composition
- logic
- entertainment value

if nobody decides to take me up on my game, well then i will automatically choose option A. well have fun and good luck.

-hito

^ God Hito has spoken!

*A little taken aback by the strange white-haired man, mei was at a loss for words. Not for long, though.* Nicolas, right? Please, take Princess Bling back to the castle immediately. I want to investigate the battleship, in case--in case. . .someone was left behind. *mei finishes off lamely* I'll return as soon as possible.

*After leaving the Princess in Nicolas' care, mei wonders for a moment whether she would be safe with the strange man. An vivid memory of the Princess' temper and antics convinced mei that Nicolas would more likely be the one in trouble, if he tried anything.*

*Fortunately, the battleship had landed in a cleared area. The nearest town was already evacuated, and all that was left were empty houses and overgrown fields. Kyor circled the ship several times, but mei did not see anything out of the ordinary--besides a flaming demon battleship, of course. And yet. . .yet something was not right. In the marrow of her bones, she felt a distortion in space--a very small distortion. It was either something left from the crash, or something resulting from a very skilled spell. If it were the latter. . .*

*Mei orders Kyor to land, and she approaches the wreck on foot. The feeling grew stronger, and an old terror, a terror that mei thought she had forgotten but knew oh so very well, threatened to send her back atop the dragon and fleeing to the castle. It took all her strength to continue forward, towards. . .*

*The fires suddenly flared crimson, bright and angry like the tongues of hell. Mei shielded her eyes from the raging heat; her eyes watered. A dark figure emerged from the heart of the wreck, a black shadow that shifted formless amidst the red flames that licked the outline. Mei's feet were glued to the ground. Kyor roared in alarm, but she could no longer hear anything aside from the voice inside her mind.*

Mei. . .Uncle Alazgore has come to meet you.

[Alazgore's one of the two generals of the demon army. The other one's Rakshasas...I think. I had to check Xithion's post to make sure.]

*reads the decree proclaimed by her father, the King, while in the custody of Nicolas*

*facial expression goes from shock, to disbelief, to utter wrath*

Ohhh my gah, what in the H3LL!?!?!!? *swears more*
Dad, you're gonna what-?!!?!? Holy <censored>!

*thinks about the logic of what her father has written*

*bummed out*

... Pfft, yeah, yeah... things have gotten whacked, I admit, but hey... we're working on it, aiight? Besides, can't you wait until you see your grandchildren, at least?

Oh yeah...

*laughs some*

I forgot to tell you, father dear... I'm 3 months pregnant with a royal heir...

Or heiress, I'm really not sure. You wouldn't be so heartless as to exterminate us all before my husband and I are back together, and this child is born, now would you, father? This child is the future of the kingdom and the one who will restore peace to our nation...

*sits down some, while gently stroking her child within the womb...*

*sighs*

Which reminds me... I do believe that one of the Royal Healer's potions can determine what Prince DM's child is... and maybe even speed up the process of 9 months...

*rises slowly to the window... and looks out*

Somehow, I really do think that I need to give birth to this child soon. How else will I be able to go out there and fight for the kingdom??? *sighs* Good lord above... and my husband is missing in action too...

*sits back down and weeps some*

well since hito has spoken i have an idea:

----we use the old fort near the front lines. we get 500+ of our best/powerful men including me. we fortify this fort and place mine in front of it. At this place we somehow draw the enemy to attack this fort, and we hold them at that point.

While this is happening we use the long range wepons from the high ground to pummel the enemy. Then from the side we attack with our spell caster, magic folk, and what not. Along with that the sum of us at the front, send re-enforcments(aka the rest of the army) to help and we can push throught the enemy lines.

At this point when the enemy line is broken we set forth to cont. to kill the rest of the enemy and we send the most powerful people to take out the demon portal. THus solving the problem.---

This is my though on what we should do. It maby sound a little far fetched...but it is possible. It need's work though

*a message window pops-up near phoenix's head*

That plan sounds like it may work with some adjustments, but there are several portals already in place. Also, our troops are diminishing and we're surrounded, so if we focus our troops at one point, the enemy will break in at all the other sides and crush us.

*message windows pop-up near all Queendom members*

If you're not busy now, how about we have a meeting in the throne room, like old times? We can work on a plan, send out orders, then go out and deal with their key players ourselves...

(Speaking of meeting...) *FM shut his laptop and walks over to the room Bling and Nicolas are*

FM: Hey white boy, let's go. We have a meeting to attend. *he walks on*

Nicolas: *walks behind him, offended* Hey, I told you not to call me that. I am albino, so that insult cuts in deeper.

FM: Well how else do I get you to stop staring at the crown princess and queen of Zeal? Besides, she's married already and unavailable for your pleasure... *he brings out his laptop, then opens it up like a phone. he calls up his little sister* Chiarys! Where are you? ... Uh-huh, so you're already with her... We'll be there in a little bit. *click*

Nicolas: *still offended* So why aren't we out there fighting? We could take out the high-ranked demons and be done with our mission...

FM: Well, first, we take all the glory. Second, if we did that, we'd be wasting available resources. Third, we're actually very closely allied with at least one side, so it'd be somewhat rude if we didn't help out, eh? There's also the fact that you'd miss out on all the beautiful women around here you're dying to see, so let's continue on and get to our meeting...

*wanders into the pharmacy chamber of the Royal Healer... looking at various potions... all seeming very intriguing and deadly*

*runs a finger lightly though a row of luminous and incandescent- looking flasks...*

Bling: Hmmm... I wonder if any of these can speed my 9 months. I seriously need to give birth now, if not sooner.

*sighs a bit, and then sheds a hot tear, which she wipes off hastily*

Bling: The sooner I give birth, the sooner I can help out win this endless war and... *sighs more*... the sooner I can find my lost husband...

*lays a hold on a flask containing silvery-white medicine, labelled "child-birth"...*

Bling: Hmmmm... I wonder...

*looks around a bit, to see if anyone is watching...*

*The demon general stepped forward, slowly...like an afternoon stroll, without a care...*

Aren't you glad to see me, mei? It's been so long.

*mei could not speak*

Oh dear, I almost forgot. *He waves one clawed hand, and mei collapses to the ground.*

"Gee, thanks. You never were the gentle type, were you...Uncle."

Alazgore (aloud): I suppose not.

mei: Why have you come? I did not think this backwoods plane would require the attention of the great General Alazgore.

Alazgore: You're right. Conquest of this plane is a trifle that Rakshasas could have done by himself, but I am rather intrigued by what you have done here. I want to see this place you have abandoned your home for...and I want to destroy it myself.

mei: Why...?

Alazgore (in a much colder tone): You should never have left. My presence here is your fault, and unless you return with me, I will remain here. Either way, this plane will be ours, but while I'm here, you can be sure that the demon armies will have much more fun annihilating it. I give you seven days to appear on my ship. *His form shimmered in the flames, and even as he disappeared, his voice rang through mei's mind* A part of me hopes you won't return, actually...I rather look forward to destroying all you hold dear... *and he was gone*

*A message-window startles mei out of her petrified state. She reads the message and wearily stumbles to Kyor.*

Let's go...

*reads the label on the bottle of potion*

Hmmm... "Immediate & Speedy Childbirth". Benefits: immediate and speedy delivery of healthy infant, with no side effects on child. *gulp*... Malignant side effects: may cause severe bleeding on part of mother, partial paralysis, suspended coma, permanent amnesia, and even death.

*sets the flask down on the table*

Okay, now that's juss not too cool for me, seriously... ...

*yelps as the baby inside gives a soft kick*

*strokes her tummy gently*

I know, darling... I'll still do it, for the sooner you come out... the better. And the sooner we can find your father...

[I guess it's about time I made an entry; game looks fun, but I've no creative/logical ideas yet...]

*still in the courtyard, but has taught a few soldiers how to transmute cannonballs out of metals; a soldier comes running with a report*

Soldier: Your majesty, we've run out of statues for aerial ammunition transmutation —

Start rounding up any unused armor then. Whatever is lying around. Maybe scout the kitchen for silverware. I do not care how, just round something up.

Messenger: Your highness, the enemy is coming closer to castle grounds and the troops are having great difficulty holding them off.

What they want is hidden deep within the castle, and we shall not allow them to enter. Fight them off for as long as we are able.

*runs quickly to the edge of the courtyard, where the moat lies; takes out her handkerchief and plucks all the small diamonds off; she proceeds to throw the diamonds into the moat*

Meanwhile, this should prove to be a challenge to overcome . . .

*draws a quick circle and transmutes the diamonds along with the water; the liquid shoots upwards and solidifies into a diamond wall surrounding the castle*

Keep up the steady pace, but increase the speed if you can. I feel that I should go check on something.

*runs inside the castle and scans the halls for . . . something, when she comes upon the Princess in the Royal Healer's pharmacy holding a container of liquid*

Ohh, no . . .

*snatches the substance away from the Princess*

You are not going to risk your life by giving birth so soon. Should anything happen to you, not only do your father and I lose a daughter, but the queendom its Princess.

Besides, what good can a baby do at a time like this? It will be one more person to take care of. I do not mean to sound as if I do not care for the unborn child, but first things first, and the safest place for the baby to be right now is inside you.

If the child is born and it loses its mother, who will be there to guide him/her to become a dependable ruler? There is no guarantee that all of the capable parental units will come out of this war alive. We must fight to keep the queendom standing, so there is something left for the heir(ess) after it is ready. Do you understand?

*lower lips trembles... bows her head in submission*

Yes, Mother... 6_6

I understand... but the side-effects are only... probable. Not automatic...

*being pathetically hard-headed now...*

I actually had plans for the baby. He/she would be well-taken care of by the castle faeries; they wouldn't be as good as a mother, but they could still substitute for me... besides...

*pulls out another vial*... this one here gives me enough life to find my husband... so if I die, at least... the child is safe, and my husband has his heir.

But I will obey you, Mother...

Sorry to have to demand this against your will, but automatic or probable, you are my daughter and I dare not take chances. You will understand someday when you give birth to this child. Though the Faeries are excellent candidates, nothing ever really replaces a mother.

*bows in obedience*

Yes, Mother... I understand completely...

*covers eyes in pain, some...*

I don't believe I'll be needing to speed up delivery... since... I think it's coming soon enough... >_9...

*gasps a bit, then sits down*

I just wish my husband could be here... to see his child.

*sighs*

But that's wishful thinking seeing as he's missing in action...

Have no fear, my dear. Your husband loves you far too much to allow anything to happen to himself before he sees you again.

o__O My sister is pregnant?! When did this happen?! Why did no one tell me?
*runs around frantically*
How many months are you?
EDIT: Nevermind. I read back and found the answer. >>

Ahh, so that's where my other daughter went.

Take your sister someplace safe, far away from the castle. The castle is the target of the enemy, and I do not want you girls here for any longer than you have to be.

*rises slowly... then embraces her Mother... and then her sister*

Ah, long time no see... sister... *mechanical laugh*

Amazed that you're gonna be an aunt, soon?

*stumbles into the courtyard, yawning a bit*

Man... What a night...

*streches a little, then looks out across the courtyard at the soilders training hard. As he took in the site he thought back onto the peaceful times this Queendom had seen.
As the thoughts ran thtough his mind, he wondered if this place will ever see such times again. War had seemingly swallowed any hope of peace. And while this particular prince usually stayed hopeful in most ever situation, even his hope in the Queendom surviving this war seemed to wane.*

*stumbles a bit, then leans on the new Crown Princess' shoulder*

My dear sister... do you mind leading me to my chambers...

6_<... *gasps in pain*

In pain already? Perhaps you didn't need to make use of that dreadful potion after all. Being in the castle while the Chamber is in use might be affecting your body in ways we can never fathom. Or maybe the Faeries had something to do with it?

In either case, have someone page the Royal Healer.

*is led to her bedroom by her sister...*

*lies down painfully...*

Ohh... ye gods... owwww... >_9!!!

*leans back against the wall, wondering what just happened*

Alright, Ailuro and my wife had just walked past here... and my hon looked to be in pa- *eyes go wide before he can finish the sentance. He pushes himself off the wall with his elbows, then runs off towards their bedroom*

My word... What's happening?... *he mutters whilst running along*

*breaks out in cold and hot sweat*

Not cool... notttt cool...

*bites lower liip in agony*

Sis... ack... can you... possibly call... her Ladyship... Mei...

I-I'm gonna be an aunt? How exciting~

*leads her sister to her chambers*

Here we are.

*notices her sister wincing and making cries of pain*

Oh dear. Why are you in pain? Is it normal to be in /this/ much pain so early in the pregnancy? What can I do to help you? Please! I'll do anything to help my sister! *becoming rather anxious*

---

Mei? Of course! *runs out of the room in search of her*

*smiles weakly at her sister*

In this world, my dear sibling, pregnancy is done by 9 weeks, not... owww owww, 9 months... >_6! It's... ahhh... my... due date... >_<...

*gasps*

Ah, I think... ahhh owww... we need... Lady Mei... I felt something go pop... >_<...

--

*recieves a tele-message from a castle-faerie*

Oh... schnap... sis!!!

*looks at her panicking sister, failing her arms about the room*

Sis, I think... Lady Mei's out... >_<... ack, owww... I think we have to do this on our own... ;_;

*Finally, after seems like what has been an eternity, makes it to their bedroom. A look of joy mixed with panic comes across his face as he sees his lovely wife laid upon the bed, in labor pains.*

My word... *rushes over to Bling's side. Kneeling down beside her, he gently takes his one of his wife's hand in both of his. After lightly planting a kiss upon it, he softly speaks* Hey... are you alright there sweetheart?...

*involuntary tears leak out of her eyes, half from happiness at seeing her lost husband... and half from utter pain*

I'll be alright, my love... I... *gasps* I'll be fine... *bites lower lip*

Siiiiiiiiiis! I... oww... call... the... faeries.... in... stead... ahhh owww!

*more tears flow out* and... can we... call Mother...? ;_;
