Chaper 14: The Blessed

[Li Violette]

For some reason, I am flattered that Rutheven is having me speak for Isvara, even though he is right there. I find it somewhat funny that he can't speak for himself. Although I do become concerned that Keitoleinen just punched him. "I'm sorry, are you okay?" I ask Isvara.


"He said that it could be used to move large objects...so it has transportation and military uses. It would be more useful for moving things than teleporter booths."

[Jumala Keitoleinen]

Keitoleinen realizes that Cris is actually here on his own and is not part of the entertainment. He becomes disappointed since he thought that Allmart or Max were going to surprise him with a fight or something. He looks over at Cris, who appears as bored as he is.

"You should pick someone here and fight them." Keitoleinen suggests to Cris. "For the fun of it. Someone who doesn't expect it. Like...maybe Dinari Dollar, or those two small women that I saw lurking around earlier. Or better yet! Calithin! Go get Calithin and bring him down here for a beating!"

[Isvara Sharma]

"I'm okay," Isvara assured Li.

Ruthevan had asked her about Isvara's technology. This angered him a little. Why couldn't Ruthevan ask the man who had developed this technology instead?

Li made a mistake again which he felt a desperate need to fix. It was her comment on teleporter booths and she didn't even mention comparisons between flying and floating, blimps and planes, and stuff like that.

Nevertheless, he didn't wish to sound rude to a man who seemed heartless so he waited.

[Chris "The Patriot" Frost]

Chris chuckles deeply, and smiles.

"Everyone knows already,"

Chris speaks out into the crowd and projects his voice.

"I'll fight anybody--"

and the crowd finishes the catch phrase, collectivly.

"Anytime, anywhere!" and then there are cheers.

Chris remains seated for the time, still observing the room, and hoping he's excited the crowd.

"Who'd you say, now?"

[Jumala Keitoleinen]

Keitoleinen likes the sound of that! "Well, pick anyone. Down the hall are those two women with dark hair. Or...go upstairs and drag Calithin down here. He's always so cocky anyway. Maybe some one needs to ...show him that he isn't all that! Yes, go find my son Calithin and bring him down for a fight. Just don't kill him or anything...since he is a useful business person!" Keitoleinen says. He claps his hands and even bounces a little. It has been a whole 10 minutes now since anything has happened.

[Rutheven Dellacroix]

"Really? I'm intrigued now, almost a shame Keitoleinen didn't hear it, he might have found some use for it. But then again Keitoleinen does find such things boring."

Rutheven laughed a bit at the truth of his statement but then decided perhaps he was being too rude perhaps too the guest.

"Perhaps this should be presented before the Council then Madame Speaker? I'm sure someone kind find a way to use this. IT should be looked into at least."

Rutheven continues to ignore the man testing him and seeing if perhaps he'll overcome being butted out of the conversation to defend his technology.

[Chris "The Patriot" Frost]

"I choose the one man over the two ladies, where's he?"

Chris stands up, and bulges through the crowd towards the staircase.

"Where is he, and where is the ring gonna be?"

Chris wants anything he does to at least be public, and he was confident that he was about to show them a very one-sided fight.

[Jumala Keitoleinen]

"I think he is in one of the rooms upstairs." Keitoleinen states, although he doesn't know Calithin's exact location at the moment. "As for the ring, how about my outdoor pool. It is drained at the moment since it is an outdoor pool and winter is coming. It is tall enough so that Calithin won't easily climb right out like a wuss. The surface is pretty hard and what not, but, at least it will be easy to clean if there is any blood." Keitoleinen says delightedly.

"Calithin...yooohoooo CALITHIN! WE MADE OATMEAL COOKIES...YUMMMY OATMEAL COOKIES...COME DOWN FOR A COOKIE!!" Keitoleinen calls out.

"That'll get him. If not, just go on up there and drag him down. I can move everyone outside to the pool."

[Li Violette]

"I think many people will be interested in his ideas, so it may not be a good idea to introduce them just yet. That could cause fighting...between different companies. Ariel would want a more peaceful situation. He could sit in a few meetings and perhaps select a few people on his own who he would like to privately show his technology to. It may avoid any ...disruptive conflict and chaos in the world right now." I suggest to Rutheven.


"Personally...I would like to keep this...more of a secret for right now."

[Chris "The Patriot" Frost]

Frost was confident that the cookie call would work, but walked up stairs just in case. The first room he barges into is unfortunately Kaschei's private room, where he and guests sit. He asks for Calithin but is dismissed and continues to stalk the hallway.

"Yoohoo!"

[Isvara Sharma]

IT should be looked into at least.

Looked into at least.

At least.

Isvara felt the need to interject, setting aside his personal rule for this party on not getting too snide with his remarks.

"At least?" he laughed a bit, "What do you mean 'at least'? Then again, I do seem to be the only authority on this matter here. The only reason I chuckled is because someone who isn't versed in quantum physics, string theory, and physics in general had the galls to say 'at least' to someone to does. I know the potential for this technology and quite frankly, if you wish to cut down costs heavily in order to maximize the cash in your pockets, you would drool over this technology. Imagine massive cargo ships simply floating in the air carrying goods from one area to another. This would not only cut down transportation costs, but you would be able to transport far more goods in a smaller amount of time. And space travel; perhaps colonizing the moon. Imagine the power that it would symbolize for a person or company to do just that."

Isvara inhaled, and then continued.

"But what would an individual who has no knowledge of physics beyond Newton understand?"

[Jumala Keitoleinen]

"Okay everyone. There's going to be a fight outside!" Keitoleinen announces. "Everyone head back to the pool, since this is going to be a good one!"

Keitoleinen is incredibly excited over this. He leads a group of people outside to the back of his mansion where there is a large, empty pool. He drained the pool since he doesn't use it during the winter time. So, it is a hollow pit in the earth, painted light turqoise. People gather around it and wait for Cris to bring Calithin down for the fight. There is a great deal of excitement in the air.

[Chris "The Patriot" Frost]

The search for Calithin alone has Chris frustrated, he's now angrily walking to rooms.

"CALITHIN! Hello! Where are yooooou?"

He's never seen Calithin before, making searching for him pretty hard.

"Someone find him!" Chris grunts and growls.

[Dinari Dollar]

Dinari is hanging with Calithin when he hears someone do a cookie call. This causes Dinari to open the door to the room where they are hanging. Outside of the room is Cris "The Patriot" who Dinari knows since Allmart sponsors him.

"Hey...you looking for Calithin? He's in here!" Dinari says pointing to the door. "Do you have cookies for us?" He asks eagerly. "Hey Calithin, Cris the Patriot wants you for something!"

[Rutheven Dellacroix]

Rutheven finally turned to give attention to the man. He looked at him long into his very eyes with his own red eyes. after a minute of staring Rutheven laughed.

"Newton, how classic, literally."

Rutheven was amused that the man finally said something and exploded like that.

"Very well we'll have you sit in on some meetings young man. They should like you, you seem to have got the support of both Keitoleinen, Li and myself. But I agree with Li, we should keep this secret, emerging Technology perhaps might be under threat of creating a conflict. So we'll keep this between a few people."

"Anyways it seems Keitoleinen has started something new for the party"
