Tension out West

[RobertF]

After the fall of The_Grand, due to various reasons, a new town was created by me, RobertF. Called Nova, it was to be a peaceful and completely neutral town that would consist of a massive mansion out West. All went well, the mansion under construction, when we learnt of the whereabouts of a new nation only a few hundred paces from our mansion. After learning of each others presence, we quickly came to peace terms and kept our separate ways.

Then gas was discovered in the world of Kiwike. This lighter than air gas permitted the creation of airships, to aid man's dream. Flying. The residents of Nova, equally excited about airships as anyone else was, created a few models, some fast, some gigantic, simply for the purpose of enjoyment. NLewis and I decided of what better way to celebrate than to visit close towns, the closest being Azure. This was rather convenient due to the speed of the airships, so we constructed one, and took off. Two people, one diamond sword, placed carefully in an inaccessible pocket. Remember that.

Approaching Azure, we witnessed residents toiling over work, building houses, doing chores. We asked the town assistant, Riskae, for permission to enter Azure airspace, and to land. After his approval, we decided upon a location to dock our ship, with Riskae building a short dock to accomodate us. Stepping off onto Azure soil however, we were both killed, our blood in the hands of Riskae.

This was absurd! Nova, the new, peaceful town, killed by a friendly nation?! A pathetic excuse, that this was an armed attack. Remember, two people, one sword, placed in an inaccessible pocket.

Thus led to a series of attacks, and counter attacks, to retrieve what was ours, all the while, the King, Bowser, claiming we were at peace. The evening brought calm with it, and a false sense of security. For drifting through the clouds, we saw an airship, bearing the markings of Azure, the friendly nation who was committing murder against a peaceful town.

News of this attack spread across Kiwike. Spreading like wildfire, the tensions in the west grew support on both sides of the argument. Some siding for friendship, some for truth.

And now Kiwike, to those who have not heard of this account, I ask you. Who do you believe has the right-of-way in this conflict. Due to the rising tensions, we cannot deny a threat of war, one not wanted by either side, yet possibly necessary in its own right. And on the off-chance that a spark of war ignites, which side would you be willing to defend. You can trust me, your confidentiality in the vote will be guaranteed.

Thank You.
