NES2 VI - Last Semblance of Order.

Introduction
Patrick O'Sullivan sat at the lunch table talking with his pals about memories. Patrick was a 26 year old who had just served a stint in the army. Following the collapse, he, like most others had moved to Dublin to find work. It had been easy in such an up and coming city. He had rented a nice small flat and had a job at a factory that produced bullets. He took pride in the fact that the bullets would someday kill the enemies of Ireland. He got a decent wage, just enough to pay the rent, put food on the table and save up for a trip to the Universal Expidition. He wished he could help support his family, but he returned from the Army to find out the gruesome details of the murder of his Sister and Mother at the hands of his deranged father. Shaking off his zone out, he and his friends at the ammuntion factory went back to dicussion the Africa Endeavor(thats what they called it). They all knew someone who had been in the massacre. His Boot Camp bunk mate had been aboard the Shining Shamrock when it went down. They talked about Ladies and novels and politics. Most were staunch members of the Nationalist Party. The whistle blew and he went back to work
----------------------------------------
Work had been exhausting, so Patrick plopped down in Paul's Pub, and frequent haunt of his. He ordered up a beer. The countryside may have been in a recession, but it still made damn fine irish beer. Turning to his friend, he :beer: and they downed their mugs. They dicussed the King and the Pope's passing away. His friend Conner McGuffin proposed a toast "In hopes of an Irish Pope!" and downed his beer. Everyone did the same. This pretty much continued for the whole night. Someone yeeled that the should all go to the Kings speech on Friday to support him, and Patrick filed that away....

First Catholics and then Celts. Why you Irish are bordering on heresy there! ;)

I dont see what the point is of going back thousands of years to find something to unify your people around, but whatever floats your boat I guess.... :rolleyes:

"We're Catholic Celts and proud of our heritage. Just because France has so many different Barbarians in it doesn't mean it has to demean the pure Irish"
said by a passing Irish Drunk in Paris
 
We must not let the Islamic Catholic minorities go unrecognized in the Vatican! Ottoman pope!
 
You should choose a Pope who is like Uber-Catholic.......and irish;)
 
CHINESE POPE! Show your love of all non-European peoples! You will gain millions of converts in China! :p

I thought that all of the Chinese people thought with one collective mind, and would never accept the Judeo-Christian heresies of the West because they love Confucianism so much. :mischief:

******************

All the King's Subjects

Patrick O'Sullivan stood in the crowd awaiting King Cameron's speech. It was a good thing that he had a Charismatic Booming Voice, or else Patrick may not have been able to hear him. After 20 minutes of waiting next to a lady that Patrick felt very un-catholic for rubbing against, and a smelly scotsman, the Irish Warpipes[Look it up, they are the Irish version of the Highland Bagpipes] blared followed by the strumming of the 6 golden harps. Then the king, in full kingly garb, strode out onto the balcony amidst cheers and :clap:ing. The King put his hads up, and like most people, Patrick was caught in a silence by the charisma Cameron I radiated.

My friends, my subjects, my fellow Irishman, my fellow Celts and my fellow Catholics. I come here today to speak to you about the State of the Kingdom. Their have been wild rumors spreading of a economic recession. But I say to you, if we are in a recession, how come you have a job, a home, food. You may say that the countryside of Great Eire is failing, and i say, thats not recession. Thats Urbanization. Look around you. Is not Dublin a magnificent city, is not Cork to our south equal in its splendor!

Patrick found himself drawn in by the words, and cheered along with the rest of them. Then the king continued,

These are the growing pains an Empire must go through. The African Endeavor, this urbanization process. And I as your King, am doing all I can to rectify the failing countryside. I have begun a project to build the E.I.R.E system, that will enable people to find jobs, and in the future, will drastically help our economy. I have increased funding for the Army, so that it may be larger and more capable. I have increased funding in the sciences, so that Ireland may once again sit atop the world in intellect. We have made break throughs in Project Cloud Galley, and will continue to work!

Patrick began whooping, pumping his fist. What this man could do with words was amazing. He could have made Patrick beleive in Judaism if he wanted to... maybe. The King began again

Yet, since the African Endeavour, I have seen a increase in sissies in the Parliment. They seem not to remember WHY you elected them. You elected them for a better Eire, an Irish Empire. Yet THEY DISHONOR THE LIVES OF OUR FALLEN IRISHERS WHO DIED DEFENDING OUR NATIONAL INTERESTS!

Patrick joined the crowd in booing, not the King, but the Oireachtas. They betrayed their people.

They accuse US of "colonial adventurism" and more than likely, disapprove of us UPHOLDING OUR TREATY WITH FRANCE and joining the The Caliphal War. But I say, would you have us abandon our allies. Would you have us abandon the destiny that God gave the Celts to dominate. And I say also, What Colonial Adventurism, I see only much needed Territorial Ventures! Why would the Oireachtas abandon the Nationalistic principals you elected them on. Why WOULD THEY ABANDON EIRE? I have not abandoned Eire. I have sent troops to Afgan lands, and approved a expedition to a land ripe for Irish Claiming. The Oireachtas would abadon Ireland, I would make it STORNGER!

By now the crowd was in a fervor, chanting and cheering and screaming. Then one man with a particularly loud voice yelled "Lets go remind the blimey Oireachtas why we elected them!" Patrick, along with the crowd joined in marching towards the Oireachtas Building. They surrounded it, screaming "Empire, Pride and People." They began hurling curses at the Nationalists who had switched sides! They only left when it became dark....
-------------
Patrick woke up with a hangover from the crazy after party after the Stae of the Kingdom adress. He got on his uniform and trudged to work. A newspaper boy on the corner was yelling, "Extraaaah, extraaaaah, read oll aahbout it. Day after rally, Oireachtas give stamp of aproval to Colony Funding and King's Foreign Agenda!" Had Patrick been a politician, he would have realized he had just been played.

Oh snap! :shockandawe:

Now, thank god I don't share a border with those craaaazy Russians. Not the same can be said for my Ottoman allies, however....

Or the Swedes, for that matter.... ;) :p

EDIT: Damnit, was inviting foriegn delegations to Paris the wrong thing to do? Now someones going to blow up half the city... Just a thought, though not related to Russian ambitions.
 
No, its good to have froeign dignitaries :clap: for you Insane Panda

Don't call it off! BTW, will it be during the update or afterwards on some kind of chat thing?
 
no AIM chatroom smoozing:( ;)

Whatever. Ireland plans to icrease it international standing at the event... but its a surpirse how!(And there are many contingency plans in place, so... no matter what, people will be impressed)
 
Yeah, it better not be increasing international standing at French expense. Otherwise, there will be an increasing of our fleet's standing in Irish ports :p

Other than that though, we are eager to see what you will all do, but we are confident that you shall all be too awestruck by the glory of Paris to do much.
 
The Irish still politcally worship France and all its Glroious Glory! Nothing to hurt you
 
Das, just npc japan for the rest of the nes if no one else wants it. Blame Alex for making asia such a boring place.
