Outside the Royal Hall, Falludariya

The Royal Hall. It was a marvelous structure built sometime in 1890 during the reign of King Mustafa Falludariya. It was quite large and had a Glass Rotunda ontop. A marble staircase led to the doors of the Royal Hall. Outside were a group of guards who were on duty constantly to make sure the Royal Hall was secure. It was not the place of government like it used to be. It was now a event for events such as diplomats visiting the country and such. So it had to be placed under high security always. It was located near downtown Falludariya where the skyline was dominated by towering skyscrapers however you could spot the beauty of the Royal Hall before the skyscrapers. It was located in front of the first Mosque in Falludariya which was the Prophet Muhammad's Masjid. It looked just as beautiful as Royal Hall but was much older than the Royal Hall. The silence was broken when the the gates to the Royal Hall suddenly opened as two police motorcycles escorted a group of cars which was filled with diplomats from other countries. The cars stopped at the lot in front of the marble staircase where the guards were positioned. They observed the diplomats exiting their respective vehicles and made sure to check every diplomats ID to make sure they were valid. Following this security procedure. The diplomats would be led up the marble staircase to the Royal Hall's doors by a tourguide. The tourguide opened the door. The doors were somewhat old and made a very distinctive noise when they opened but they still looked beautiful.

Inside the Royal Hall, Falludariya

Upon entering the Royal Hall's lobby. The room was brightly lit from lights along with natural light coming from the glass rotunda above. There was people dressed in native clothes of Al-Ghaihr and some were performing native dances accompanied by native music. Suddenly a door opened and a man in a black Armani tuxedo sporting a somewhat low beard and black sunglasses and slicked back black hair. He walked into the lobby accompanied by a group of armed guards. The tourguide walked up to the man and saluted him and begun speaking, "Your Majesty Mohammed Ebrahim, these are the visiting Diplomats to see the glorious nation of Al-Ghaihr." and the man nodded. He walked along with his guards and the tourguide to the Diplomats. He inspected each one of them as he walked closer. His gaze stonecold. The atmosphere seemed tense before he begun speaking, "Welcome to the Kingdom of Al-Ghaihr! We have been expecting you. We have a wide arrange of entertainment such as soccer games and of course beautiful lounges where you can taste traditional Al-Ghaihr food and enjoy your choice of beverage. As for today. Your schedule when you will be given the paper by the tourguide will explain some of the activities going on in the Royal Hall. You'll see native dancers and of course be given the chance to speak of some of the citizens of Al-Ghaihr and review some of the business opportunities our country can give you. As for food. I'm sure you already know this is a Muslim country. Pork is banned, however we have a wide arrange of other foods. We have sushi prepared fresh in Hall A4 which the tourguide will direct you to along with other foods such as hamburgers, french fries and everything else. I encourage you to enjoy yourself in the Royal Hall and see some of the sights of our beautiful country!"

Bryce Harkonnen was taken a back, he'd never been inspected in such a manner by anyone, growing up as the heir to one of the four Dukedoms of Kaitaine and considered to be close to a God himself coming from one of the Four Holy Families, he was always treated with reverence everywhere he went. He'd travelled alone for this, he figured it would make him more approachable however now he wished he'd brought his wife with him.

The man took the pro-offered piece of paper and grudgingly headed off to explore, he'd come to make contacts and almost sensed it was as though he was being dismissed for a more convenient time. He wandered into a hall, grabbed himself a drink, a non-alchoholic one, a fine occasion such as this without a good glass of wine or a cocktail, it would never stand back home. He chuckled to himself at the thought as he took a seat to watch the dancers.

As they arrived at the event in Al-Ghaihr CrownPrince Hadi, his youngest wife Princess Korina and his seventeenyear old sister Princess Thelka, were ushured over towards the other diplomats, much to the disgust of Hadi. "Come on" he said taking Korina by the hand and motioning to Thelka to follow, "We shall find our own way around and enjoy ourselves, we are not standing in line with commoners" he said arrogantly as they entered one of the lounges. They grabbed a plate of food and some drinks and sat enjoying themselves people watching.

Some time later a man he recognised walked in, he recognised him from somewhere but his pale skin indicated it was not from back home. "Excuse me dear" he said as he realised where he recognised him from. Hadi wandered over and seeing the man sat alone approached. "Mr.Harkonnen?" he phrased it more as a question, once the identity was confirmed he thought to improve on their meeting at the creation of the Terran Economic Forum. "You are alone?" Hadi asked looking around, "Perhaps you'd like to come join my wife and sister?"

With no fanfare, a figure obscured in gaudy swaths of golden embroidered fabric strides into the Royal Hall. Though much of its body is covered by its strange garments, there seems to be something ever so slightly off about this stranger. Perhaps it is it's stride, a jerking and unsteady motion, as though it just learned how to walk. Perhaps it is it's unnatural height, as it towers over the guards and guests, limping precariously towards the hors d'oeuvres. Perhaps it is the strange bulges in the fabric of it's outfit, jutting out at odd and disconcerting angles, or it's too-long fingers that are displayed as it plucks a sushi roll from the tray of a passing waiter. Whatever the case, the figure seems to be here to stay.

The stranger takes in it's surroundings before directing its attention on a man with what it perceives to be a noble bearing. The man's back is upright and his nose is turned down. It is almost as if he believes he owns the world, and everyone in it. The figure lifts the mask of its robes to messily devour it's sushi before lurching towards Bryce Harkonnen.

"One could get uzed to zuch wonderouz affairz." It says. It's voice is oddly accented, as if the being is speaking with a mouthful of buzzing flies. It continues in an unsteady cadance.

"It iz rare that the outland kingdomz offer me the pleazure of raw flesh." It deftly snatches another sushi roll from a passing tray. "Who might you be?"

OOC - Hi , TheFacelessOne. Our region is a multi-species one, it seems your character isn't human, at least thats the impression I get. It may help us write in a better response if we know what species your guy is.....nice post though,.
