Peace in Our Times

[Craines]

Mr. Desiato,

If people don't stop calling me corrupt, I might get angry. I am not corrupt. I wish to believe the government I represent it not corrupt, either. I, not being from Kusari, am not to be grouped together with the Kusari Government in any way other than being their Ambassador. That being said...

I do not have the power to give you what you want, which is control of the government. Your tale, sir, says that you were the Shogun's elite guard, and that doesn't exactly put you in the position to become the next Shogun, does it? Furthermore, assuming that Samura did cause a coup, then it would be their right to rule. Last time I checked, a military coup works in an empire. A democracy? That wouldn't allow for it. But an empire? There is nothing wrong. After all, what you are doing seems to mimic that which was done in the past. Well, assuming that it occured at all, which I cannot seem to find any primary-source documents, that are unbiased, retelling the tale.

You have no right to question the relevancy of my government in this matter. Peace in a war BETWEEN BRITONIA AND KUSARI does seem to encompass the Kusari Government. So, you can do what you please, but your justification is flawed. And you might say that mine is, too, but then again, we are all entitled to our own opinions.

Now, in conclusion, you have no say in this treaty, nor do you have the slightest reason to be envolved! If you want to be included, then please, do so in a way that is civil. This entire rebuttle I present to you is about as savage as I intend to be, but by the Gods or Deities that you may or may not believe in, I do not care. You have stretched me to the limit with your allegations of corruption that have yet to be supported. So please, if you want to claim something, provide proof!

And for the last time, I am not corrupt.

Now, if a Blood Dragon, Corsair, Outcast, Phantom, Rogue, Junker, Farmer's Alliance, or any other criminal faction tries to enter these delegations with the intent of undermining my reason, which is, I will remind you, to establish peace, then I will do everything in my power to have you imprisioned. I may only be a single person, but your trickery and treachery will not go unpunished. Now, I repectfully request that you do not attempt it again! Thank you.

My fellow delegates, I beg forgiveness for my brusqueness in dealing with criminals. I have had my share of them in the past, and by the Gods or Deities you may or may not believe in, I will not deal with them in any other way. Until they can provide adequate and indisputable evidence proving that I, or my Government, is corrupt, I will deal with them in the manner you have just seen. I do not believe that we need to have talks of peace clouded with talks of anything else; that is best left outside this delegation; perhaps, say, in a bar. However, this is no bar, and so, let us leave such talk outside. Thank you.

Once more, please forgive me, but I must be harsh in my words should we ever wish to gain peace.

Madam Fiona H. deLuna
Ambassador of the Kusari Naval Forces

(OOC: I am a lawyer in real life, and I love me some diplomatic debating. However, this really isn't the place for it. Let's say that armed guards are now in place around the perimeter, and that if you want to get in, you'll have to be a little bit less conspicuous than the leader of the Blood Dragons. Thanks. I mean, I value your views, and I love to read your writing style, but you don't have a place in these peace talks. Now, if you think you do, then you can post here OOC, and then we can chat about it and see. Otherwise, please refrain. I really am here only to establish peace. Thanks for your cooperation in advance.)

(OOC: Ah, yes, I seem to have just thought of something. Let's say that all the proper delegates are here in person, and therefore, if you have posted so far, then you, too, are here in person. Okay? Okay. Thanks!)
