To be Reborn

[Zolen]

Concept: A while back I was reading Monkey (also known as Journey to the west) before I went to sleep, I think it's because of that book but I dreamed I was Qitian Dasheng, a Chinese genius, a strategist who was getting sick of the world and it's bias against 'absorbents' (people from country's that were taken over by another), who wanted the world "deleted". In this world most of the countries were fused either by war or through mutual agreement, Qitian Dasheng discovered a way to finish what is known as the Unification Wars started, in this he offered to people who he saw skill in a chance to have their greatest wish come true, either piece or money or power or even the possibility to capture him, a name attached by his strategic aid to over 300 terrorist groups in all of the most powerful nations. This is what I based this RP on, you will hunt for this man, follow his request and the world will be altered by your choices, whether you aim to hunt him or to play his "game".


By 9:12 PM, on July 12th, 2011 over 45,000 reports were filed of a strange broad cast took over their own personal TVs and personal computers, by 9:20 it was noted that all known TV's to use civilian broadcasting were showing the same message, subtitled for those who did not speak English. The message of a mad man shouting of world destruction. His face covered and his voice distorted:

To those old and new I bring a new message, one told so many times before yet always forgotten, one of a beautiful thing! "Power" I offer it to you, all of it, to all of you, and then maybe less or more! I hate this world! I want it deleted! I want it reborn! Am I confusing? Good! I want the world Deleted! I want it reborn!
Pawns, Hunters, and Players! I offer to you a game, a beautiful game full of wonder and adventure! So exciting that by the end of it you will all wish I had never existed! Thank your governments for this idea, for I do not think of all these things myself. Long ago Brittan took what it wanted without stopping, inspiring the Chinese and Russians to do the same! So they absorbed their enemies, everyone bragging about their own military!
If you love your islands of hell, stay there, I will call on those of you who wish to stop me to come, and I wish for those of you who have grown tired of the oppression of your countries to come! Haha! Tell them you're looking for Qitian Dasheng!

Recorded Actions of Qitian Dasheng: (read this if you wish, as it will give you a idea of what he has been involved with, it will be updated as time goes on based on the choices of the characters and what it leads to.)

April 3rd, 1999: Qitian Dasheng was first heard of after a masterful assault on a Chinese military prison, all prisoners taken in for terrorist activities were taken with no casualties to either side. It is claimed by his supporters that he has been acting since 1984, It is unknown what his face is, if he is really Chinese and if Qitian Daheng is his real name.

July 15th, 2000: His name was traced to helping during a international terrorist threat after taking hold of the ambassador of Turkey and the Emperor of Japan. Through information he gave to police forces they were quickly able to save them, and he gained a level of support from the people of both countries, despite attempts to hid his aid.

January 1st, 2001: His first international broad cast simultaneously hacking into all frequencies with a common lag of only 0.03 seconds between nations(the first time that they could prove that he may have others working with him). With his voice distorted and his face masked he publicly named himself and stated he wished to finish what the Unification Wars started under the wish for world peace, as well as condoning most governments excluding those of "True North Africa", "Turkey" and "Japan" calling their "anti-corruption system" a perfect idea.

August 7th, 2001: He was first seen covered in a Halloween mask and wearing a Black pinstripe suit in Russia his voice distorted by a recorder put in the mask, as he walked on a flown in stage to gather supporters from a riot from the 'absorbed nations'. How many of the millions that were there that eventually joined is unknown.

December 18th, 2001: A web site known as "Revealers Web.net" was traced to Qitian Dasheng, a web site known for exposing millions of military and political secrets, as stated by United American Republic as to if this is true is unknown, yet it was quickly shut down and replaced by the website "Nabster.com" protected by a hacker group known as Lagersweb which has been personally guarding it, as to if it is simple support or if they joined with him is not known, it is believed they were involved in the international TV hijacking.

July 13rd, 2003: A group known as the Xuanzang was publicly announced claiming their leader to be Qitian Dasheng, as they captured tanks from a military base of The Holy Kingdom.

September 14th, 2003: Qitian Dasheng openly stated that his plan for finishing what the Unification Wars started was going into effect, appearing his a new mask that would later become his icon. (I offer to any artist interested to create a mask design for him, if you wish to try, PM me.)

2003-2009: Qitian Dasheng starts to appear in everything from the taking down of drug rings to the assassination of political leaders, a full man hunt is set out for him as he quickly gained the support of a wide population of lower class citizens, outcast, and absorbents with his claim of bringing world peace and his constant acts of protection on their behalf.

January 5th, 2010: Qitian Dasheng disappears, Peoples Republic of China claiming to have killed him in a battle to protect Nobles of the Sizu District. Xuanzang disappeared with it, it's final statement being that they needed to rest.

May 1st, 2011: After disappearing for a year Qitian Dasheng returned wearing his signature mask (slightly burned) hijacking the computers of all known international leaders who he had once criticized yelling angrily at them about the event that happened in his absence. "The Monico Massacre" where over 3000 absorbents of Peoples Republic of China were forced into a massive stadium then bombarded, while the blame was thrown to Yulong Santaizi a Chinese general.

May 4th, 2011: Yulong Santaizi sentenced to death for the "The Monico Massacre" was saved then hidden by the Xuanzang group, where it is assumed he joined.

on July 12th, 2011 over 45,000 reports were filed of a strange broad cast took over their own personal TVs and personal computers, by 9:20 it was noted that all known TV's to use civilian broadcasting were showing the same message, subtitled for those who did not speak English. The message of a mad man shouting of world destruction. His face covered and his voice distorted.

Rules: (the rest expect common sense)
1) There are going to be major laws written for country's that you will go through listed below. Follow the laws of the country you are in, you can be arrested, and or executed, you can technically break them, but you have to be much more careful then you might have to be in other Rp's. As such just like anywhere else unless it says otherwise, the normal laws of any country apply. (no killing or raping or stealing and so on.)

2) You can make no more then two Characters and if you make a second they can't be the same type as your last (i.e no person can have two players or two hunters)

3) People can join later in the 'game' but their excuse for how they caught up with the others has to be explained to me first(and your first post has to be shown to me before they are actually posted) to see if it would work.

4) If you are inactive longer than 1-2 weeks without any warning of why (just tell someone who can inform me if you can't PM me personally so I don't end up deleting people who are unable to do anything for what ever reason.) then you will be killed off or sent to jail and your character will lose the game. (goes into effect 3 days after the rp starts)

5) When you find the hint to the next area I will PM you what you found( the title for when I do this will be "Qitian Dasheng), as to if you share it with everyone else is your own choice, but they can still find the hint themselves if they look around. Or you can choose to make a alliance with someone and share the information you gained via PM(altering data/giving fake data to trick someone is allowed), but please alert me so I can organize this development accordingly.

6) Each country has its own currency some real, some fictional, all of them have different trade values between areas, so understand you are not going to be able to pie a pie in The Holy Islands for 3 ISC when you're using money from New Libya which has a trade value that is 2 points lower.

Currency is under the line based on the amount of gold to every bit used, to simplify it the common way to organize coin value is by 1 to 5 based on the wealth of the country and power they hold can affect these values to show that value of where the county's we will be visiting go, I will use the method of one through five to express economic wealth.

1
2 The Holy Islands
3 Russia
4 China, United American Republic
5

7) Other than to give clues or items and maybe a random event or reaction of the government I will not personally have any involvement with the game, unless it gets too far off track, then I might get someone arrested, or simply make it where Qitian Dasheng might stop giving that player hints, or stop being so helpful to the people hunting after him. These hints or clues or items or orders will be sent by a PM labeled "Qitian Dasheng". Which you will get simply from following directions or looking in a place he hinted at.

8) Rivalry and Alliances are encouraged, you can even plan strategy/openly state you alliance in groups (if you want to talk strategy, unless it is role playing it then I ask you do it somewhere else.) to interpret some of the events that take place and what to do next.

9) (last one) Follow the rules also stated in "The Ultimative DQ RPG Guidebook"
__________________________________________________
Players: Random people of all creeds/cultures/races who wish for power were offered a different message (depending on the Rp sheet you show I will give you each a pm with a message) all encouraging them to play the game and find him, either for wealth, power, or peace or what ever their dreams are. Each person is giving their own mission, sometimes it's against each other.

Hunters: Mostly made of law enforcement hiding in the mix of people chasing after the offers of Qitian Dasheng, as his name has been attached to terrorist groups in nearly every country on the planet, governments fear this may be a attempt to gain skilled members to more effectively damage their individual governments. Because of several of his involvements many have died in the past, so, some have grown to want him dead seeing this as a chance at hunting them down.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Laws of: (note most of these laws are fictional either to further the plot or make the place have a different feel, other than that, most are the basic laws you expect in most normal counties so are not listed. Only a few of these laws will be a problem for your characters but you will see and hear about them or you could use it as a selling point of a back-story or something.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quality's of note between country's: (gives you a idea of how things are going, understand all of this was random or based on claims about one of two of the nations that were fused together. Do not take anything as a insult please. )

The Holy Islands:

1)The country holds a great deal of hate agents the Chinese and the United American Republic, so racism is common place.
2)The 'ghetto's' named after lower class areas are caged in communities with bordered 24 hour surveillance. They are otherwise lawless and where most of the gangs are The Holy Islands as well as any victims to their laws tends to go at one point.
3) Currently The Holy Islands are at war with the United American Republic.
4) The official religion is Christianity.
5) The Holy Islands has a currency of value 2.46 for each ISC
6) Each, once existing country is set up into "Divisions" meaning if you were born of one of the islands your nationality is as a Islander, your Division is what ever country of origin.
7) The collection of islands known as the Holy Islands started in Australia, while under pressures of the "Unification Wars". While most islands keep their original names, on the international scale they are known collectively as "The Holy Islands".
8) The country as a whole by something called the "The Holy See" while originally considered a heretical name, it has recently by the citizens of The Holy Islands as "the second Pope"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
United American Republic:

1) While most consider themselves proud mutts, mixed of many different nations that made up the greater part of the European/Asian/Arab Continent there is still a level of original racism as seen from how most tend to stick to areas of what was once their country despite the it's dissolving, it is assumed this quality will stay around for several years.
2) Recently a large number of criminals of The Holy Islands have taken refuge in the United American Republic, it is assumed they are accepting these people for information.
3) Thanks to recent advancements in such things as the Internet international isolation that was commonly felt with areas of the Americas has all but dissolved, and the local population seeming to grow more isolated from each other as addiction to the internet grew, out of a fear from the southern section of UAR a recent law forbidding marriage non-citizens, as to if these are related is not known. Yet despite politicians denying it many claim it has to do with the internet's popularity. This has lead to protest in the once existent United States and Canada as they cling to their fear of political corruption.
4) There is no official religion, claiming full freedom, yet Agnostic and Atheism is common place.
5) The United American Republic has a currency at a value of 4.21 RIT
6) All members of the country have two systems their nationality is considered to be that of the United American Republic, while their "loco" is their country of origin, which were renamed as being "Provences".
7) While it's name imply's a republic, the systems works under a idea of each Provence leading themselves, using their own systems of election, office, and territories, excluding absorbent nations which are governed by officials chosen from other provinces of the the United American Republic in which they give the absorbent countries a offer to vote on the officials chosen, of course some members of the provinces have begun protesting in favor of giving absorbent countries equal rights.
8) Thanks to events taking place in 1772, 1654, and 1703 Mexico, the United States, and Canada under a treaty declared themselves a single country.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Russia:

1) It is common practice for higher class Russian citizens to bully absorbed county's members, as there are no lows forbidding it, but there are plenty of laws restricting them from fighting back.
2) They are considered to be partnered with Peoples Republic of China, but most assume that Russia and Peoples Republic of China will eventually turn on each other if they ever run out of enemy's.
3) As of recently a tradition has begun to in political offices to place their children into their seat after they retire, using political advantage to ensure that no possible runner ups get a chance at it.
4) Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Judaism are the common place religions, yet Christianity is the most common place.
5) Russia has a currency at a value of 3.91 for each RUB
6) All country's absorbed by Russia no longer have a national identity, commonly refereed to as "Russian Absorbis" While those born of the original lines are simply known as Russian.
7) The Communist ideal that Russians will preach of, only actually applies to those of original Russia, the absorbent area's tend to be run like a minor dictatorship. Yet because of corruption in the government of Russia, most of it's leaders live in wealth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peoples Republic of China:

1) There is a long standing respect system that was culturally enforced along with their current censoring of "questionable items" has lead to a level of racism at the way other nations act, believing them rude, barbaric and carefree.
2) The once prominent and powerful Han have all but become the common farmer and target of economic bulling, leaving the majority of China's population in lower middle class or poor, while such as the Shang.
3) Following Russia's lead China has recently taken back its full communist system, which has lead to economic instability, further spreading the gap between poor and rich.
4) The official religion is Tian
5) China has a currency at a value of 4.31 for each CNY
6) Like Russia there is no actual left over existence of the original country's they absorbed Referring by their family name more then their original country's.
7) While they claim to have reverted to true Communism other then in their capital city there is no real sign of actual equality.

Nationality: Polish

History: Łukasz lived most of his early life in Poland, which at the time began to draw great influence from Russia, which included work ethic and ideals surrounding communism. At an early age, his mother began to teach him how to play piano, herself being a pianist in polish philharmonic. As he grew though, Łukasz started to draw away from piano, knowing that it wasn't the part of his life that he wanted to chase after.

After four years of training in the army, he gathered enough money to travel to Great Britain where he joined the White Paw. A known organized military at the time. While in this army, he was sent to China with a group of other men to restore peace during and after The Monico Massacre. He returned to Great Britain afterwards, and stayed until present time, where the conflict involving Qitian was just beginning.

[Paperback Writer]

The description of how the world came to its current state is too broad and hollow. I really don't like it when people like to somehow conglomerate the world so they just look bigger into maps. How the hell did the United Kingdom annex all of freaking Europe? And more back-story required for the United American Republic. And how come China swallowed all of Central Asia just like that?

Another thing is the culture of the countries make them see EXTRA FOREIGN. Communist countries usually persecute religious activities, especially those popularly known as superstitious. How could a FULLY RESTORED COMMUNIST system have an official religion?

And did you know, South America has a high amount of Christians(mostly Catholic). How did Atheism suddenly overcome that?

Oceania... Of all the places Christianity has least history... It had to be Oceania.

The main antagonist also seems more of a trouble maker on steroids than an actual villain.

Hm, that was a hiccup on my part ^^' I probably will edit that, I admit to checking to see the religions of the country's but I did not do a full study of true Communism...Hm, Should I remove religion from those country's?

Did you know that there are two other continents attached to South America that are part of that? I never said the United American Republic has a official ideal/religion the only reason why I mentioned Agnostic is because it has the highest percent which is only about 39% there is no official religion nor any overcoming.

That little oddity happens to be a really odd change to the time line that I thought to put in, I don't know if you will like it any better when I expose it, but there is a big reason.

Oceania... Of all the places Christianity has least history... It had to be Oceania.

Maybe, but the idea was about the "Unification Wars" a idea for a world take over.

Forgive me for the thinness of a lot of it, originally this was 15 pages of details, I cut most of it for fear that it would be to long, most of it will still eventually be shown in story in some way.

This is a alternate time line, if you want to know how far back it split off from ours and so on, wait a bit, parts of breaks from normal history will pop up a lot.

Who ever said that Qitian Dasheng was a villain?

[Zolen]

Time- 7:12 am
Location- Zhu Bajie's specialized party house
The RPG may start, Haha!

[Aval]

it's an Alternate History fantasy RPG. Why the hell is anyone discussing realism.

[go_habs_go]

what is this, edmond said as he reads the letter he received, a job...3000 BUCKS, only to find someone and ask him questions?
HELL YEAH, I'm in this!

[Shadowtime23]

Alex took another peek through his binoculars. The party was on.
Zhu Bajie, a paranoid coward, a wealthy fool, a blind loyalist...
Alex could see the guy was paranoid. He wasn't at the party all the time. He checked his room and sometimes the watch rooms aswell. Nobody went in and out of the fourth watch room. Alex once again wondered how Qitian could've known about that.. But there was so little anybody knew about this man.

Alex left the binoculars on the small building he was on - he wouldn't need them now. He then proceeded to climb down on the side nobody could see him on. It was a small building, three stories, but that's all he needed to look over the 2,5 m high brick wall.
The wall itself was more of a helper for Alex than a protecter for Zhu.
Alex had watched the building for two hours now and he knew that that was not good enough.. But nothing was, atually. He could've watched it for two days stright and wouldn't know more than he knew now.

It didn't matter. He could handle this.
Alex approached the building from the back of Zhu Bajie's guest room. That is where he hoped to find and confront him.
Two guards inside, two guards outside...
He would have to deal with those inside. He wasn't sure yet, but he would improvise.
It will work, he told himself. Like always, I can do this.

He put his ear against the wall of the room. It was pointless, the sound of the party was way too loud to hear anythng from inside.

(will edit with more once Zolen responds to my question, I got a little confused with the map Qitian sent me.)

[go_habs_go]

ok, said edmond, on top of the building in front of the ''bunker'', let's see what we have here...
4 guards, but no sign of Zhu... how inconvenient... where could i enter... OH, this door enter right in the watch house 4,he said while looking at the map, maybe i could force the door... or maybe...

[Zolen]

Time- 7:20 am
Please all people who wish to play post and reach your chosen position for when the Main target will speak, if you do not then you will be outside of the place as it starts, and thus be at least at a slight disadvantage.

[go_habs_go]

Edmond took his instruments and began to pick the lock of the lighthouse 4. when the door was unlocked he slightly opened the door and he saw a computer, a guard and, of course, a guard uniform. lets see what i can do to get this uniform... he closed the door, took a ''weapon'' (a log) and knock at the door. he then yelled : <<help me, my kid is bleeding, he's been hit by a car>>. the door opened and the guard run to help the children, but he simply hit a log that was swinging in his way.

well, you just hit something big, or maybe you were hit by something big... said Edmond

he took the guards uniform, and he then went next to Zolen, and told him he was going to guard him for the time of his speech.


Be careful, the rather chipper boys main goal is to knock out Zhu Bajie and steal the letter of warning! Haha! He may already know of you! wonder where he could be...

[Shadowtime23]

Shit, Alex thought. I should've participated as a musician.
He had thought that... What have I thought?! Zhu wouldn't have noticed. Goddammit.
but then again, he had only been there for a day and he assumed that the paranoid Zhu had hired and checked the musician group over a month.
The room had no windows at all, what was he supposed to do now? Four guards... He wasn't sure wether or not they had guns, but he suspected that some of the guards had them hidden underneath their jackets, by the way they turned and kept their hands on that spot.
Alex had planned to get into the room unnoticed.
Fucking improvise.
He decided to go around the party house and check the situation.
Alex manage to remain hidden, but didn't come near the exits.
Shit, I'll just try to go in there like I belong here.
So he departed from the building, walked over to some other houses and started heading towards the main entrance. The main entrance was rather unprotected. It was far away from the actual buildings and was quite large, about 20 meters wide. People were going in and out and the two guards on each side looked very bored and uninterested. Alex crossed the street and joined a group of people who were on their way to the party. He looked down on himself and considered his clothing. It was good enough. Quite normal clothing, a long shirt and jeans. Jeans were okay and the shirt with no tie made him look like he belonged here.

Alex hadn't obtained a visitor pass or whatever they called these cards, so he just took out his driver license. He took the card out but had no intention o letting the guard examine it. They didn't really care anyway, by the looks of it. Guests showed the cards without stopping, without any effort.
Zhu would be pissed at his guards for being so careless.
He held his card in front of the guard just once, not even waiting for him to look but immediately putting it in his pocket again and kept on walking.
Wait for it...
He kept on walking and heard nothing from behind.
In the middle of the crowd, he stopped. He'd gone through.
Now to deal with the guards.

Alex had an idea. He headed over to a table with hundreds of wine glasses stacked carefully upon one another forming a two dimensional triangle. It was for show, nobody dared touching it, fearing it might fall apart. It was quite large, Alex guessed about 200 wine glasses. This would be enough to distract the guards.

The table wasn't far away from Zhu's room, about 50m away. Alex was almost there. He carefully managed to steal two mobile phones; it wasn't too hard in the pushing, loud crowd. He called his own phone with the first one and noted the number on the second one. Then he took the first one and looked at the giant triangle of glass once again. He wouldn't be able to put the phone in one of the glasses - even if he managed to fit it through, the triangle would collapse. It seemed very fragile and made Alex wonder why it didn't collapse just because of the loud music. He came close to the table everyone tried to avoid touching, took a napkin, covered the first phone with it and gave his best in placing it between two glasses quick but gently. He stepped back and watched as the glasses vibrated... And finally stopped and stood still. Alex let out a sigh of relief, then looked back searching for his target, just to see him disappear through the door, into his room.

Now he went back, passed the door and continued another 10 meters. Took the second phone and called the first one. He had made sure it would vibrate.
At first, nothing happened. For five seconds or so he just looked over to the table, Which was almost completely covered with the heads of others.
Then he watched as all of the glasses made a glorious downfall and a lot of noise. He also heard some women cry out, some because of fear and one that sounded like it had cut itself.
Thanks, he said to the cut one in his head. I appreciate it.
The two guards at the door quickly ran towards the table. Unfortunately, a guard from inside took their place. But just as Alex thought he should blow this whole thing, the guard outside put two fingers on his ear, said something and disappeared in the direction of the glasses.
Oh yeah. It's showtime.


(Now I'm going to wait for others to post/join.
And to Zolen: I hope I'm not dragging the time out too much. You gave a specific time, but I think it'd be very cool if you could give us a deadline, like
Local time: 8 pm
Maximum playtime: 5 hours
So that some people wouldn't have their characters play at 7 while others have already completed tomorrow's task. Just a suggestion, keep it in mind. For now, you're doing a great job!)

Edmond went to take a glass of wine, and, at the same time, he saw someone fixing the pile of glass.

-Hmm... another looking at that stupid pile... some peoples are too much impressed by anything awkward. Oh well, i have to concentrate on my role, that way, i might have some time to interrogate Zhu...maybe, i could make a diversion so i can have more time to...


right at this moment, the glass pile started to fall. Oh My GOD!!! thought Edmond, someone in here just red in my mind...how creepy!


HEY YOU, yelled a guard, watch this door while we go see this lady.

Sorry, I can't, I to make sure that Zhu is alright, I've been employed just for that, to be his body guard during this reception, try finding someone else guys.

[Big Boom]

About a week before Zhu Bajie's speech/party.
Time: 11:02PM

"Another beer," Łukasz drunkly said to the bartender while placing his mug down. It wasn't the first time the bartender had a lone drunk in his bar. He had thought to not give Łukasz another beer, but instead he shook his head and simply told Łukasz that the bar was going to close soon.

Łukasz glanced down at his wristwatch. 11:02PM. It was getting late, and he had started to develop a headache. His weeks spent peacekeeping in China during the Monico Massacre has taken a toll on him. He rubbed his chin and closed his eyes.

The moment of peace was interrupted by a familiar voice. "Getting drunk again it seems?" Łukasz opened his eyes to see the bandaged man now sitting next to him.

"You know Thomas, that bandage covering your eye only attracts more attention," Łukasz replied.

Thomas frowned, "Piss off." Łukasz let out a smirk and turned back to his newly filled glass of beer. In the recent years that Łukasz has spent serving in the White Paw, he had been placed in many of the same missions that Thomas Mullin served in. Over the years they agreed that throughout these missions they would watch eachothers backs. One could call it a relationship of the sorts, but honestly Łukasz thought of him more as just a bodyguard. During the Monico Massacre, a hysterical woman had ran at Thomas with a broken bottle. The team came to a conclusion that with the events that had just happened, all people weren't exactly "sane." In the end, Thomas made it out of the situation with a nasty scar from his eyebrow to the bottom of his eye.

After a brief silence Łukasz finally asked, "So Thomas what are you doing here? I doubt you came here to drink."

"I have a letter to you from Zhu Bajie." Thomas explained.

"Zhu? What would he want with me? I wasn't even informed that I got a letter," Łukasz replied.

"Someone working in communications ordered me to give the letter to you. After 2 weeks of you not touching your PO box someone must have taken notice." Thomas said while giving the letter to Łukasz.

After reading it careful over (which wasn't easy with respects to his blood alcohol level), Łukasz started to smile, "He wants me to play piano for him...I wonder if Zhu realizes that I haven't touched a piano for nearly 5 years." He pauses and continues, "Its also stated that he was given information that 2 persons would be attending who want to steal war plans. Hopefully he doesn't expect me to be a personal bodyguard for him."

All of a sudden Thomas' eyes brighten up, "A job? That could maybe get you closer to Zhu? I would say you should attend. It might be a chance for you to find out where Qitian is."

Łukasz rolled his shoulders and finally let out, "I suppose I should start practicing. I'm guessing you will be attending too?" Recently, Thomas had a habit of showing up in missions uninvited. At least Łukasz would be able to get him into the meeting without any disruptions.

Day Of Zhu's Gathering

It hadn't been easy preparing something to play for Zhu in less than 6 days. But at the moment at least Łukasz felt his performance would be acceptable. Thomas had mentioned that in case anything went wrong that he had "customized" the piano. Ready and in dress, he opened the double doors and entered the already crowded "ball" room. The architecture had been influenced highly from Greece and Italy, rather then the culture of Zhu's surroundings. The floor was a mixed color of beige and white, and around the room tables and chairs were set up. The second floor balcony loomed over the enormous room. On the far side of the room stood a table with broken shards of glass scattered around the area. Several servants were now cleaning the glass off the floor. He almost felt sorry for them, guessing they were the ones who scrupulously stacked the wine glasses up in the first place, and were now the ones who had to clean the mess. And amidst the large crowd of people stood the piano.

As he made his way to the piano he caught a glimpse of Thomas who was now talking to the guests. Thomas made eye contant with Łukasz to make sure they knew where they were in the room. And finally, not knowing what to expect next, Łukasz sat at the piano and began playing.

[Zolen]

Time- 7:45
Playtime speed up allowed at max to- 30 minutes more
Zhu shall make a minor appearance at 7:47 (I will make a post as him after at least 2 people post) Notice: Also I shall for this section of the story take on the place of one of the guards, which I will start doing as soon as a person post.

[go_habs_go]

As he ran to rejoin Zhu, he bumped in somebody, the pianist, who was looking a little lost.

Hey, said the pianist, watch where you go!!!

sorry sir, answered Edmond, I'm really in a hurry right now, with all that's going on.
Damn, stupid artists, to good to match out where you walk, thought Edmond.

Hey you, yelled Edmond at a guard, where is Zhu, I'm on duty to guard him, but i can't find him!

[Zolen]

As it seems appropriate and I will assume control of the Guard that Go_habs_go addressed as it seems that was his intent, and I did state I would post myself as a guard after a person has posted.

'Such a peaceful day' the man felt as he looked around the room, men, women, and children dancing along to the music of a man named Łukasz. 'Shame the servants don't know how to stack some wine glasses properly.'

"Ah!" A servant yelled as he kicked his foot off her rump, knocking her into the mess she was cleaning.

"Get moving absorbent, you missed some trash." He said laughing softly, guest walking and even dancing over the girl as if she was not there.

"Sorry sir." She said grunting as a five year old stepped on her head. 'Such a peaceful day, to bad I can't leave my post.'

"Hey you!" Yelled a unnamed man dressed in a guards uniform. "Where is Zhu? I'm on duty to guard him, but I can't find him!"

"What?" The guard said. "Zhu did his walking routine and now he is in his quarters, only Cai and Guo guard him in there. Who are you?"

[go_habs_go]

My name is George, George Bond, I work for a private company who rent body guards services, I was hired yesterday and I was asked to follow him, but i was separated from him after the...incident with the glasses, i was at this right moment getting a glass of wine at the bar, but then I couldn't see him anywhere.

So, where is he?

[Zolen]

Guard "He's been inside long before that happened, he's been a bit paranoid, says he found a tip that someone plans to crash the party, so he let me and Chang stand as inside back up." The guard pointed over to the three guards shoving people around as they tried to make extra room for the servants to clean the mess. "I don't know of any of you absorbents getting paid in."

The guard yelled over. "Hey Chang!" A stout guard ran over, a small pistol pulled out like he was expecting something.

"Yeah?" Chang replied, looking around for the unknown foe.

"You know of Zhu getting any getting a hold of any 'rent a body guard' services that Zhu might have got, you pay attention to his ranting more then me." The guard said pointing to 'George Bond'.

------------------------------------
Zhu (sorry for the wait to those who were ready, I was giving it a bit in case someone else wished to add something, perhaps I waited to long. :/)

Lights flashed, voices echoed, recorded cheers played through the room as the digital voice spoke, drawing the rooms attention, with three beeps.

"Good morning everyone, I hope you have enjoyed yourself at this fine establishment, designed by the great Tao Yong." The speaker screeched a little as if someone had scratched a old record. "While General Zhu plans to aid our honorable country in it's fight against the spineless Turkish, he chooses today to celebrate, to show respect to The Peoples Republic of China!" The Digital voice cuts as the lights stop flashing, the recorded cheering stopping just as the people cheer as Zhu appears next to Łukasz.

"My comrades, my teachers, my followers, my brothers, my sisters, my country every true communist is among us. There are not a few people who are irresponsible in their work, preferring the light to the heavy, shoving the heavy loads on to others and choosing the easy ones for themselves. At every turn they think of themselves before others." Zhu inhaled softly before going on. "They swell with pride and brag at the smallest of task, as if afraid someone won't know. They are cold my comrades, I have seen them run away from people they called friend, just as they needed help the most. Yes there are men and women among of own country who do these cold, heartless things! But fear not, our great government works day and night to help our land, to help our world!" Zhu stops for a second once again to catch his breath, letting the crowd cheer before he hushed them down again. "I work with our comrades in arms tomorrow, to help spread a system known as Communism, to one day make this world truly equal, to where all men and women work their share, and all get their share. Tonight is a gift, a gift I offered to all of the Peoples Republic of China. Please enjoy your night, may the world one day look at one another as equals!" The crowd clapped to him as he bowed.

(don't be impressed/annoyed to much by the speech, I almost quoted things that I have seen in Communist propaganda in order to plan it out)

[go_habs_go]

Edmond/George headed to Zhu rapidly and said : Sir, we have some technical problem, one of the door was picked and we found one of the guards KO, maybe you should head to your room...


(i'll add more when Zhu will answer me)

[Zolen]

Zhu After the crowd finished their applause Zhu raised his head again feeling a level of pride for his speech, only for his attention to be diverted from a oddly accented guard. "Sir, we have some technical problem" He said "One of the door was picked and we found one of the guards KO, maybe you should head to your room."

"Hm, your accent is odd, where are you-" Zhu was cut off as the crowds cheers finally shut off a loud blast of laughter playing in the speakers around the room.

"Haha!" Played for only a second before the music went back on, yet Zhu recognized that voice.

"Xuanzang might be among us, I knew Qitian Dasheng was still alive." Zhu muttered pushing the 'guard' to the side. "Protect me from him and you might get a raise.... Łukasz, General Lee said that you were a capable fighter, correct?"

[Big Boom]

(Um, I'm confused...how did I all of a sudden get involved? Did Zhu walk up to me?)

[Zolen]

( Read Zhu's actions "people cheer as Zhu appears next to Łukasz" He was next to you all this time, as a sort of backup, since he didn't want to have any guards on stage with him. So he took the advice of Lee said of picking you as he could use the cover of you simply being a pianist. )

[go_habs_go]

i'll go take a look around the building to see if any door is picked, go to your room, it's safer.
