open | The Commander's Audience at the Palace of Landed Sky

Characters: The Ironwood Emperor Alderwood Commander and anyone who came to speak with the Ironwood Emperor.
Date: June 15th
Location: The Palace of Landed Sky
Situation: The expected holding of an audience for any that care to speak with the Ironwood Emperor, though they will be met instead by the Alderwood Commander.
Warnings/Rating: N/A; to be updated if necessary

The hall is still and white, strung with softly glowing lanterns that are strung up high beyond reach. Outside, the sun is at its zenith, and it filters down through the cloudy glass roof to create a brilliant, nearly blinding ambiance.

The floor is marble, inlaid with mother-of-pearl and ruby quartz. It catches the light, and casts strange patterns on the walls.

The room itself is almost eerily silent. No noise, no echoes. No one and nothing vaguely human, excepting the presence of Evandau. The Alderwood Commander stands before the Emperor's empty throne with patient expression and posture reminiscent to the at-ease bearing of a soldier. He waits to receive the petitioners, kedan and Foreigner alike, in Eshai's place this day. As with her audiences, those wishing to make their case must approach him and he will make not move to shorten the distance between the grand entryway and the throne that he defends.

The 'audience' is an open one, and no one will be turned away. So come one, come all, to the Palace of Landed Sky.

[Actionspam or prose are both acceptable! The Emperor has delegated the audience to Evandau this month and he has been temporarily granted many of the authorities that she naturally holds. Why is that? Well, telling y'all would be too easy, wouldn't it?

Characters will only be admitted into the hall one by one, so there won't be anyone present for anyone else's conversations, and there won't be any 'mingling' in the chamber itself.

By popular demand, we continue to allow mingling for those waiting for an audience in an antechamber. There is a thread header below to allow for that!]

Or internal obliteration. There appears to be a history of civil wars, and should such a war continue until the population is severely diminished, the Archive would maintain a record of the previous civilizations. But no, unless there is a direct threat to the Archive, I may act in favor of neither side. If there is a threat to myself I will act until I am safe again, but within reason.

[ Which usually means she'll just kill whatever is trying to hurt her, though it also means that she can apply her knowledge to areas such as the turtle's sickness and the hydroponic garden.

[ She catches the key and glances at it once before slipping it into a pocket on the inside of her cloak. One week? She'll have to both request time off of work and come in to petition for the key when the next audience is held. For now she nods in acceptance of these terms. ]

Very well, I shall do so. Are there any other stipulations or rules that I should know about?

[ She sees the humor. She really does. Promise. However, she's not even acknowledging that was funny. And the winner of the "Stick in the Mud" award goes to the Archive. ]

No. I will respect the privilege you have granted me. Thank you.

[ She is like the escense of not messing around. He's not too bad himself since she likes straight forward and effecient people. ]

Thank you, I shall.

[ The Archive nods one final time in farewell and then turns and walks away. ]
