The MRB TP/Ornia Pt1-1

[coon.27@osu.edu]

Hi folks, we are beginning a multipart TP involving unrest on our homeworld.




There are a number of subplots of the MRB TP.   One of them is the Ornia TP.
Due to scheduling conflicts we are not doing each of the parts
chronilogically.   At some point much of the House  Ginaz will be leaving
for the homeworld except Ornia and a few others.  This is to happen ICly
then after they leave, not before as it is happening RL.

Steffan is NPCing Mathias, Ornia's guard.
Nestor and Bernh worked out this part of the TP, and Nestor and Steffan are
@emitting.







Apartments -- Ginaz Embassy (Kaitain)

Easily the most austere area in the entire embassy, the apartment wing of
the Ginaz Embassy stands in stark contrast to the size and grandeur of the
entirety of the embassy. The hallways while well lit are small, the
ceilings low and the entire area is made out of the same dark blue marble
that the embassy is encased in. The walls are decorated with scenes from
the Ginaz home world as if to remind all of the individuals housed here
that they are not in their home. Occasionally one can see inside a room and
notice that for the most part the rooms are like cells in a monastery, not
the residences of the ambassadorial staff of one of the greatest Houses
major in the Landsraad. Guards are stationed at all of the main entrances
to this wing and two guards wearing the unmarked field gray uniforms of the
Marquis guard stand at attention at the entrance to the Marquis Suite.

 Ornia steps from her room quietly and smooths her dress as she looks
about, her shoes in her hands as she trys to keep things quiet.
Mathias clicks his heels abruptly and stands straight at attention, his
gaze fixed ahead.

 Ornia looks directly at the man snapping to attention and frowns slowly
and sighs "Well so much for getting out alone." with that said she then
moves tp put the heeled shoes on over her hosed feet.

Mathias wavers little, his gaze still frozen.

 Ornia shakes her head and once she has her shoes on stands up right and
just begins to move to leave the area and head to the embassy exit.

 Mathias passes by, "M'Lady...." and then begins to follow her.
 Ornia has left.

Residential Wing -- Ginaz Embassay (Kaitain)

    The Residential Wing contains all the living quarters of the staff, the
retainers, and the nobles themselves. The wing has no windows but rather
has a disquised sun roof that allows some of the light to enter the wing.
The walls are adorned with pictures of past residents, Siridars to be sure
but also some of the more trusted Mentats and other military figures. A new
picture, obviously just hung, its frame much more brilliant than the others
can be seen just as one enters the wing. It is larger than most with an
intricately gold frame surrounding it. It is a picture of Morgen I. Lear
standi. At the other end of the hallway is a picture of the only woman.
Under the painting a caption reads :This painting has been passed down
through the generations and has been the subject of conflicts and political
uphevils. It is because She was presumably one of the first Bene Gesserit
Reverend mothers but this has never been confirmed. All

Foyer -- Ginaz Embassy (Kaitain)

The dark blue marble exterior of the embassy has seemingly desolved into a
gleaming white marble with gray veins in a circular room. There are high
arches and sweeping buttresses meeting the ground with Ionic style pillars
made of black marble with gold veins. A ceiling extends to the very
roof of the building. There is a kind of circle within a circle within a
circle. The flying buttresses sweep out and come down in the exact center
of the room ending in fourteen pillars. Between each of these pillars is a
desk with an attendant seated. The second circle is considered the
inner circle. This is made by a series of twenty-eight archways, which
leave twenty feet between the arches and the real wall, at each of these
pillars stands a Ginaz Out-world Guardsman in full

Courtyard -- Ginaz Embassy (Kaitain)

Behind a wrought iron fence, with the seal of House Ginaz in the
center of the gate and two one man guardhouses, lies the open
courtyard of the Ginaz embassy. A road leads straight to the main entrance
of the embassy, encircling a four story fountain. The lawn around
the building is a dark green and groomed to perfection, with many pines and
shrubs dotting the area, in tastefully arranged randomness. The embassy
itself is at least thirty story structure designed like a giant six pointed
Star of David. The building itself is made of a dark blue granite that is
native only to the home-planet of the Ginaz. The embassy uses what would be
considered a Gothic style with flying buttresses and windows all coming to
a point. A 'thopter pad can be seen atop the building as well as the
rotating colors of the crystal dome over the center of this gargantuan
star.

Ginaz Limosine
The vehicle has been appointed with every luxury that can be installed and
still provide seating for six with room to spare. Two sets of three seats
face each other across a small, solid mohagony table. The sides of the
table have recessed handles for access to the compartments within. A
circular light over the table baths the inside of the limousine in a soft
light.

 Ornia says something to the driver who nods.
There is a sense of acceleration as the limousine picks up speed.
The limousine continues quickly to its destination.

Mathias sits down with a few other guards. "M'Lady...if I may ask....were
are you going tonite....Its just not wise to go out these days...."

 Ornia settles into the limo and looks at her escourt "Well I am meeting
with a friend and want room to talk with out feeling you will be in the
way, but near by is good as you have
ajob to do?"

Lights from the numerous buildings and walkways outline the roadway.
The limousine is buffeted slightly by a large gust of wind.
The limousine decelerates steadily and comes to a smooth stop.

 Ornia laughs a bit "Well We are going to the Lounge at the Imperial Hotel
to meet with a friend of mine." she sighs a bit and looks out the windows
and smiles as the limo stops
Mathias opens the door first.

City Center -- Central District (Kaitain)
A 200-meter tall statue of a lion dominates the City Center. The
lion, rearing up on its hind legs and roaring toward the north, appears to
be made of polished gold. A narrow road passes under the statue and
directly through the small park surrounding the lion's feet. Around
that is a multi-lane traffic circle, with wide tree-lined avenues leading
to the four corners of the city... and the Universe.

Circle of Stars -- Central District (Kaitain)
A tree-lined roadway opens into a similiarly lined cul-de-sac. Consuming
the whole back half is a large off-yellow brick building. In front
of the building, before the main entrance, is a pair of golden
lions, resting as they watch over all who passes. Several different
flags float above the main entrance and extend the length of the
building. In the middle of the cul-de-sac is a marble archway

Upturned lamps line the walls of the spacious room at regular
intervals bathing the room in a subdued light. A gold pattern of
lions runs through the deep burgundy carpet. Near the center of the
room a settee surrounds a marble fountain. Attendants are
placed throughout the lobby, waiting on the pleasure of the hotel patrons.

Lounge -- Imperial Hotel (Kaitain)
The lounge of the Imperial Hotel serves as a more casual alternative to the
prestigious dining room. Even though simply decorated everything is of the
highest quality. The tables are made of the finest dark hardwoods
of the Imperium. Exquisite paintings are spaced evenly along the
walls. Portions of a cloth tapestry lies behind glass frames behind
the bar. The meta-glass window on the south wall provides a
view of the Circle of Stars. Servants stand ready

 Ornia steps into the lounge and frowns a bit "Well maybe I was wrong" she
speaks to Mathias and then looks about before looking for a place to sit
 Ornia enters from the hotel lobby.


Ornia has arrived.
Nestor is here OOCly.

 Ornia moves for the corner Booth and settles into it lightly as she looks
about waitting to see if Ilsabet arrives soon. She does look to see where
her guards and Mathias move to.


Ilsabet enters the lounge with two Harkonnen guards behind her. Stopping at
the entrance, she glance. Spotting her in the corner, she whispers to the
guards and cont, she drops into a curtsey, "Greetings my Lady."

Mathias eyes the new arrival with interest. "Your friend m'Lady?...." he
says with a concerning tone..."Who is she?"

Ilsabet just looked at you.

 Ornia smiles and stands up as Ilsabet walks up and giggles "Good evening
Lady Ilsabet." she smiles "Thank you for comeing, I was getting tired of
being cooped up in that Embassy again." she looks to Mathias and smiles
"Well yes this is my 'Friend' Lady Ilsabet."
 Ornia scoots into the corner booth.

Mathias now moves a bit closer, "My Lady ...a friend...of course but I am
not familar with her ....it is not customary for such meetings to occur...I
must ask again....who is she...be more specific..."

 Ornia looks at Mathias a good bit annoyed now and then looks to Ilsabet
"Dear do you want to formally introduce your self to my overly insistant
guard?"

Several Ginaz guards position themselves around the room.

Ilsabet nods and turns towards Mathias. Dropping into another curtsey, "Why
yes my Lady, I do wish to introduce myself. I am Ilsabet Arias Ostrlik,
Ambassador for House Harkonnen."

 Ornia just smiles and looks for a waiter or waitress to order some drinks
"Do you care for a drink? I am parched and want something."

Ilsabet shakes her head, "No thank you, my Lady."

 Ornia nods and then orders a tall glass of an ale for herself and then
smiles a bit at Ilsabet before looking to her guards a bit and Espically
Mathias.

With the mention of the word Harkonnen, three of the other the Ginaz guards
move towards the corner table. As Mathias lifts a hand they freeze for a
moment, "Harkonnen........m'Lady...you have....shall we say interesting
choices as friends. Does my Lord Steffan know of this?"

 Ornia frowns at Mathias "I have spoken of this with him, he and others
seem against it.." she sighs "Lady Ostrlik here has shown nothing more than
a common curtisy since I met her." she then narrows her eyes "why not let
us both talk and enjoy a drink."

Ilsabet allows a sharp grin to cross her features, "I see that your
brother, the Na-Marquis, has tried to strengthen your security my Lady. Not
an unwise decision my Lady as much as you oppose of it." She quickly slides
into the booth. By the door, the two Harkonnen guards appear more alert
with the movement of the Ginaz guards.
Ilsabet scoots into the corner booth.

 Ornia nods lightly and giggles "I do not blame him considering the fact
they have just left for the homeworld to reclaim what is ours rightly." she
smiles "I hope things go well."
 waves a greeting.

Now with an almost angry tone Mathias looks at the two women, "After
circomstances....shall we say surrounding the last time a noble left the
embassay to come here.....you must understand our concerns...." Mathias
slowly turns his head and notices the Harkonnen guards. He then pears at
the nearest Ginaz guard. Speaking in Lear he nearly shouts,
"........................." You must realize my LADY....you could be the
next ruler of our homeworld....something I don't take lightly..."
