An Imperial Ball - Friendship Eternal

[Mestra]

Following the departure of the Drahen delegation to the Imperial Palace, the next plane that was pulled into place was from Angiris.  The air stair was pushed into place and the door was opened.  The band began playing the national anthem of the Angirisian Empire as the delegation on-board descended from the plane.  While the Chancellor had greeted and escorted the Drahen Emperor and his family, the Prime Minister of Parliament would greet the foreign leader.  It was a rather unorthodoxed for the PM to greet any foreign delegations, as her sole duty was to oversee the domestic function and integrity of the Imperium and her provinces.  However, an exception was made for this particular case.  Angiris' heavy commitment into democratic processes made it ideal for the democratically elected representative of the people to the Imperial government to greet the Angirisians.  PM Melissa Hayfield greeted the Emperor with a customary bow and held out her hand offering greetings.  Once such formalities were completed and photos taken, the PM and the Angirisians got into cars and were taken to the Imperial Palace.

Following the Angirisian departure, the next to arrive was the High King from Aurelius.  This time the Foreign Minister awaited to greet the King. Geoffery Calmin awaited patiently.  On cue the band began playing Aurelius' national anthem as the delegation exited the plane.  Geoffery greeted the King, photos were taken and the delegation was taken by car to the Imperial Palace.

Lastly, the Emperor from Soyabarian departed his plane.  The Soyabarian national anthem was played.  Deputy Foreign Minister Francis Heath and Vice Chancellor Raymond Malka of the Imperial Senate waited to greet the emperor.  As was custom, the two officials greeted the foreign head of state and delegation.  Photos were taken and the group was ushered away through the city towards the Imperial palace.

Heart of the Imperial City


OOC: Please feel free to post the interaction of your delegation and the Mestran officials. This can include the initial greeting and the car ride to the palace. Once all delegations arrive at the Palace and are assigned rooms and such, I will move onto the ball. Depending on how things are posted, I may include visits with the Mestran Emperor before the ball.
