       Council #4 - LUDWICKGRAD (4)
   DIR By: Marcus
       Date: April 29, 2017, 8:52 am

       The room is darkly lit, only illuminated by by the flickering
       light of candles. The second-in-command of Valgate stands to the
       side of the podium, dressed in full mourning outfit, veil and
       all. Taking a moment to compose himself, he steps up to the
       podium.
       "Fellow members of the UN, I wish I did not have to be standing
       here. St Jimmy's death has been a shock to us all, and I'm sure
       you have all felt the impact of his sudden death. Shortly before
       his death, St Jimmy informed me of his dying wishes. Today I
       would like to introduce one of those. As you all know, St Jimmy
       was a peaceful man, never one to focus on military aspects.
       Keeping in line with this, I wish for the following law to be
       pass."
       The Valgatians propose a ban on any ongoing or future conflict
       between members of the UN. If a faction breaks this era of
       peace, they will be thrown out of the UN and have their
       alliances with other member factions of the UN ruled null and
       void.

       Maria blinked away tears as she listened the second-in command
       of Valagate. She removed Rin's hand from her knee, now was not
       the time. Wiping away her tears Maria stood to address the
       council, removing a whip from her side she holds it in her hand.
       "Valagate, I am sorry for your loss. The Cat of Nine Tails is
       sorry for your loss. He was a great man, with great views and
       the world is worse off without him. As The Whip said 'My flesh
       and my heart may fail, but The Whip is the strength of my heart
       and my portion forever.' May The Pain Bless You in your time of
       need" Maria lifted her arm and with one quick flick of her wrist
       had made a beautiful Crack, she repeated this 8 more times.
       "Know The Whip is with you" She continued, Rin mumbled the words
       from his seat. The pause that followed was deathly silent.
       "The Cat of Nine Tails is a peaceful state and agrees that St
       Jimmy's wish should be fulfilled. Although we feel more altering
       and polishing of the law is needed, for now this will work just
       fine"
       The Cat of Nine Tails votes in Favor of the Bill

       Shirasu nodded at the proceedings thoughtfully. Her compad
       beeped. She looked at the message, smiling. It was from the grey
       suited man. She put her compad down and began writing her
       speech.
       She approached the stage with confidence, purpose, but also
       sadness. She too knew St Jimmy very well and had been a long
       time collaborator. She began.
       "St Jimmy was not a good man. He was a truly great man. His
       passion and vision have guided the hand of the UN to be
       efficient and fair. He is respected not just in Valgate, but
       across the planet, certainly in Unislan, as I can attest too.
       However, this Bill, introduced by Valgate but with no evidence
       to support that it was St Jimmy's wish, is a disappointing
       misdirection of the UN's values. Lacking the ability to resolve
       disputes with conflict, politically powerful nations will
       dominate those who do not have the same voice. Should they
       choose to fight, they will loose any resemblance of political
       power altogether, something the UN is firmly against. I do not
       want war, but preventing it in this manor will do far more harm
       than good. As such, contrary to my colleagues, I must vote
       against this bill. Thank you."
       Unislan votes Against the bill.

       Shirasu looks down at her feet, hiding her face. While the news
       that night praises the senator's speech, pictures of her looking
       down circulate, the populous considering the shame she must be
       feeling.
