Hariko

*begins evil plot*

The Prime Minister stared at the pencils on his desk absent-mindedly, but to the observer, he appeared to be focusing intensely on them. The tick of the clock on the wall would occasionally break his train of thought, but for the most part, he appeared completely absorbed by the issue at hand. How do they disappear like that? What...who...Kodeï thought. Harúnjeo Kodeï was worried sick, and his two best men in the Foreign Ministry disappeared without a trace or clue. He was especially ashamed that his administration could let two top ranking officials vanish so soon after the Violetists. Those wounds to the nation were still fresh, as if Akigíryo was murdered just yesterday. Foreign Minister Sobehido and Consul to Little Sealand Teukero had been missing for two days now, and for all Kodeï knew, they could be dead. Thorhalli Armod had also been suspiciously quiet, but then again, that was to be expected of the RussoAsians. Harikosa had been on edge ever since the Reçuecian scandal back in December and Kodeï's cousin Jjekob has been a nuisance...no, a threat, since then, biding his time to influence the plebiscite that was going to happen in one week. Would Hariko become a Kingdom? That dilemma itself gave Kodeï a headache. The streets of Harikosa were filled with protesters for both sides, and crime in the city had spiked. Completely unheard of and completely unacceptable. Harikosa was never a dangerous city. Those damn Reçuecians rocking the boat, he thought. Kodeï put his face in his hands in frustration. Hariko had no way to find the missing Harikenes. No military or intelligence to rely on. He sighed. Once again, Hariko would have to ask United RussoAsia for help. It hardly helped Hariko's reputation as a RussoAsian satellite. He reached over to the far left corner of his desk, right next to the small Newton's cradle. Kodeï picked up the receiver and dialled in the number. +7 495 115 01 01. “Yes, Sage, it's me. Again... ...Armod did what!?”

OOC: LOL. Don't sweat it. Maybe Reçu will add his two cents.

*CPR*

It's been a while since Pompous Wednesday, so I'm glad to announce my first event as DA of Internal Affairs. Wait for it...okay! This contest will be a competition to find the best factbooks of TWP. The winner will get an honorary forum title of the “King of Factbooks.” The best three factbooks will be publicly featured in my office, and if Darkesia is nice enough, on the WFE. How Can I Participate? First, grab yourself a copy of Ponderosa's factbook template if you don't have a factbook already, and then begin filling it out with as much detail about your country as possible. Secondly, announce below that you intend to participate in the contest, and you'll be considered one of the competitors. The links to entrants' factbooks will need to be posted before 30 June, because judging will begin on 2 July. Your judge will be Elegarth, so remember that section about mustard, lol. What will my factbook be judged for? Your factbook will be judged for these qualities: Aesthetics Attention to detail in the quick facts box Creativity and descriptive content Must have a link to the central Darkipedia index here and say Darkipedia, the chocolatey encyclopedia at the top. Make sure your factbook looks nice and pretty, and don't be afraid to customise the look to something that represents your nation. Okay, may the best factbooks win!

Nice to meet you!

We are epic. Friday afternoon, drinks on me.

Oooh, okay. Snobby, lol. Should I have a Castilian lisp while saying habitación, too? Lol.

This month's unit in Spanish III is covering the hotel, and I had a couple of vocab questions. What are the subtle differences between «cuarto» and «habitación»? Does «cuarto sencillo» have a different feel than «habitación»? Would you use the words in different contexts? You know how in English, there are registers of vocabulary that indicate different levels of formality; are the two words just synonyms, or does one sound more proper, like «ordenador»? For those of you who don't know what register is, it's the different types of words that you use to be polite, formal, or casual. Register is why you don't mind a child to go retire for the night or tell the queen you have to take a s***. Well, I mean besides Nox, but yeah.

Nee, nee! Welkom om Het Westen Pacifische!

Yup.

Okay, just observe the timetable, bedankt.

Okay, thank you Westwind.

Ow, good thing this isn't in Reçu's department.
