The Ireem Chronicles

Return of the Fishes

Day had broken when soon enough we hear the cry of Mer, yet this time, strangely, was not a cry for help from their beloved nemesis pirate-slavers, it was a rather melodic invitation to all for a gathering of sorts at the Isle of Mers.  With the words "Curiosity Killed The Cat" nagging me at the back of my mind, i decided to make my way there in human form.

Upon arrival, i was greeted by a mix of joyful chatter and playful giggling from a small party of Mer folks, a rare sight for a while now.  Albeit friendly welcomes from most, standing knee-deep in water(not exactly my favourite element) and surrounded by this small army of fishy beings i hardly ever encounter and at such close proximity too, i was panic-stricken until a few other non-Mers arrived.

The meeting started off with a call unity of all Mers for more effort to protect the waters and to organise more activities to bring life back to it, including non-Mers, although one cannot help but wonder if the intention is all amiable, for there are tales of sirens feasting on humans and flaunting their vicious nature with pride.  However, the Mers deserve to be given the benefit of doubt for what follows is an excited discussion of various fun activities including possibly a Dance Ball in the waters for the entire Kingdom!  We shall all have to wait til concrete plans are put into place before revealing more details in this discussion, and then surely a proper announcement would be advertised in the Kingdom's most reliable newspaper, The Ireem Chronicles.

The next heavily discussed agenda was food, or the need for more food within reach for the Mer folks.  Their hungry eyes got me all nervous again, and i was ever so glad to hear the timely chorus of greetings to our dearest Sultana who arrived along with her palace escorts.  It is our fortune to have a kind Sultana who would so generously lend her support with her presence at this meeting.  It is also reassuring to know our kingdom's ruler is keeping in check of such gatherings.  The meeting resumed but a sudden loud splash and we heard our Sultana calling for help, and immediately she was brought safely back on land by swift reaction of the few Mers splashing about with their pretty tails.  We'd like to think our Grace was 'testing the waters', and hopefullly satisfied of the outcome.

As the meeting continued, more curious non-Mers appeared including Princess Page who seemed to be safe or momentarily free from her recent accidental brush with an ancient spirit.  The Mer King Yayoo's magical charm had
everyone dancing hours after the meeting, and it was late evening that we all started making our way home.  Walking away from the Mer Isles with pruned toes, i morphed into kitty form in order to take the short cut and get to my dinner soonest possible and to report my findings to dear ole boss editor Lord Kito.

We shall all look forward to what the Mer Folks have to offer in the near future!

P.S. Editor note: Remember, fishes are friends, not food.

The Palace and Princess Page Siegel with Djinn Misfit Sonoran wish to send their gratitude for all who participated in the hunt for the 4 Elemental Cases and the Jade Heart.

In speacial recognition for their valiant efforts in the search are:
 Random woman who found the Jade Heart and Earth Elemental.
 Mebo Grut found the Water and Fire Elemental
 &  Jakub Despres found the Air elemental... Even though he tried to hold out for a higher amount as  he wanted of 2000 dinar... Jakub after some scolding from some random woman relented and settled for the agreed upon price of 1000 Dinar for the last Elemental Scroll Case

Each person returned the Elemental Scroll Cases with their Scrolls intact.

Now these items will be given to Indi Queen of the Djinn and Kai Leader of the Magi to see if they can work their Magic and break the Curse off Princess Page and Djinn Misfit Sonoran.

Sincerely,
Princess Page

Am Demina shamed the slavers again!

It was the last straw for Antar, the Beduoin leader,  when another Bedu sister was captured by the slaver Am, mistreated by him, as is the norm for Am and sold at auction.  Antar led his brothers and sisters in an attack that resulted in Am being cornered and captured by the bedu sister Eve.

Dragging his sorry butt to the Bedu camp, Am was stripped naked, bound and tossed in a cage where the bedu brothers and sisters mocked him and caused him great humiliation as he richly deserved.

Antar allowed the bedu sisters, Eve, Sharina and Alli, who was the sister last abused by Am,  to take the lead on the interrogation and humiliation of the prisoner.   Gagging him with a pink gag, stopping short although threatening to dress him in pink silks,  and calling him names, the women continued the humiliation forcing him to agree to say that the Bedu were the best fighters. Finally giving into the abuse and humiliation, Am conceeds that "the Bedus are superior!"   With that admission by the prisoner, the bedu women agreed and Antar approved that Am would ramsom himself to gain his freedom and that he did..  a ramsom commensurate with the thousands in coin that he earned from the sale of the many bedu sisters he wrongfully captured.

My name is Leah, although many of you may not know me well, my kind, the merfolk, have inhabited the waters around this desert place since the beginning of time.

 I carry ancient wisdom of the mystical healing properties of water passed down to me from my people. If given the chance to run the Dolphin Baths, it would be my pleasure to share my knowledge with the city’s inhabitants. All will be welcome to experience the blissful powers of my bath and massage oils especially blended with gifts from the sea.

Vote for me and bring the mythological magic of the merfolk right into the reality of everyday Ireem city life. I can’t think of a better place than the beautiful Dolphin Baths, it would be an honour.

Searching for a release of Sonoran and Princess Page Siegel from the Magic of the Bottle which has them both bound together!

With the combined effort of  Indi Queen of the Djinn Misfits  &  Kai Magi Leader they found an ancient scroll that speaks of a great battlle when the Ancient Palace was destroyed ... but the war was won.  In this scroll it speaks of many who paid the ultimate sacrifice protecting the city from an ancient evil... Among the fallen Sonora's name was listed.  The ancient scroll which was found in the enemies fallen encampment speaks of how Sonoran was bound while her attention was focused on her powers attempting to protect the Ancient Palace.

  Once Sonoran was bound the ancient script used was torn into pieces, rolled up into smaller scrolls and hidden in 4 Magical Elemantal Cases (FIRE, AIR, WATER,EARTH) in 4 different locations. The Green Jade heart also was hidden.

The JADE HEART and FOUR cases with the ancient scrolls pieces must be united to give the clue needed to free Sonoran and Princess Page.

To the ones that finds an ancient scroll case with the scroll intact a reward of G 1000 per case
To the one that finds the Sacred Jade Heart G 2000 for it's safe return.

Please Contact Page Siegel to safely return the items and be paid .

((OOC note: Touch Case or Jade Heart and Buy for L$0 then return to Page Siegel
and click no to animate your avatar.))

Princess Page was given an enchanted bottle for a show she was working on ..The enchantment on the bottle was to allow her to go in and out of the bottle ...

Princess Page was in the bottle when Ehson came in the Arabesque Cafe. When he touched the bottle and took/stole it something happened and the spirit of the Djinn [Sonoran]  awoke ...  When summoned from the bottle by the new Master of the bottle Ehson...Princess Page and Sonoran where joined together in Princess Page's body.... with a  somewhat shared conciousness.

Princess Page is now bound to the magic of the bottle as much as Sonoran is. They are both bound together to, "The Will of the Master of the Bottle!"

A milenium ago there was a great battle ... Sonoran believes she  she was protecting the ancient palace... seeing this one is built on the ancient stones of the old one.... Sonoran remembers hearing voices raised in chanting and she was then bound to the bottle... and the will of the Master of the bottle......many masters came and went through the ages till all fell silent.... hundreds of years she was trapped in the bottle in silence ...Sonoran will look for those who imprisoned her there... to seek her and Princess Page's release.

It seems information is being sought by the Djinn for ancient scrolls relating to this matter from the Magi ... We will give more information as it becomes available.

Vote Alreania DaSilva For Dolphin Baths

After a long hard battle you will need a place to relax. If I own the baths you will be enveloped in the hot steam as you enter, and attended to in the most pleasurable manner by the sexy youthful women I will hire. Imagine your tense body rippling as skilled hands massage and rub their way over your body. Relaxation whenever you need it is a firm reason to vote for me.

Ladies I promise to find the most handsome of attendants for you as well. I will bring you strong well-defined men with skillful hands that know where to knead away stresses of the day. Cleanse yourself for your husbands and masters, or simply for yourself.

I will keep many scented oils in stock for the bathing pleasures of both sexes. Perfumes, colognes and heated oils will also be available for your pleasure.

Take a moment to vote for me… Vote Alreania DaSilva for the Dolphin Baths.

Dear Granny I am living with a man whose wife just left him a few months ago. They have a daughter and son together but she ran away with them. I have been seeing him in secret behind his wife for over a year anyway, but the problem is that I am still jealous of her. He talked about their children all the time and always going on about the nice time they have together. Is that normal? I feel like I am just a second choice to her despite my much higher social standing. And I always wonder that he only chose me because she ran away. What should I do?

Granny Get a hold of yourself is what I say! Because I don't really have a answer. For the thousands and thousands of men that I have been with (oi, you at the back, stop the snickering!) none of them would spend anytime thinking about other women. I guess you could try some self improvement. Ask the Djinn doctor to give you a bigger boobs, or go to the Bakery to learn some cooking. Failing that, there is always the House of Pleasure where you can picked up some bedroom tricks too.

============================

Dear Granny The man I married is wonderful. Trouble is his mother is terrible. She is always trying to gain his affections. Recently her tricks has been getting worse. Not only she was always hanging out in our tent, but she was trying to bribe our children with toys and camel milk sweets! What should I do to deal with this in law from hell?

Granny Try anal sex and win his heart. If it doesn't work, at least the pain would drive you mad enough to kill that horrid woman.

Dearest Ireemians,

I humbly come before you to kindly request your vote in the election for the position of Mistress at the wonderful House of Pleasure.

The months of inactivity at my place of work have been difficult to sit back and endure, however upon discovering the elections would be opening up, I leaped at the first chance I had to sign up.. Hoping and dreaming I would soon have the opportunity to turn the infamous, yet abandoned, red building above the Arabesque into the booming center of pleasure I know it could be.

With my candidacy I offer my skills from my official training as a Courtesan inside of the Sultana’s Royal Harem, as well as 90+ days of training as a street Courtesan at the House of Pleasure itself. As the House of Pleasure’s most active, diligent, hard-working and dedicated member of staff I offer much knowledge that will provide assistance with sponsored events, dances, seminars, and whatever else your lovely, twisted little hearts may desire.
I have been fully trained in the skills in which I know how to please, and given the opportunity, I know I can make Ireem, and you, proud. So please, let me rise to the occasion, and I am sure I can make your own dreams come true.

Forever yours,
Najah Gharam.

Candidate Statement from Fateema

===================================

The Dolphin Baths are an oft neglected yet supreme resource in Ireem. Our citizens are constantly on alert for random attacks and yes even wars between clans and groups. Why to stay refreshed ~ in good muscle tone and alert ~ the Baths and Expert Massages are a necessity here!

Every man , woman and creature is constantly vigilant, suffering from stress, wounds and assaults recieved in combat.

Only a soothing bath with medicinal herbs and oils followed by a true therapeutic massage given by strong yet tender hands can restore them to peak capacity. And I , Fateema Asalia, am able to provide this. (smiles ) Healing relaxation and massage are a specialty of mine learned from the very best of many sources both magical and earthly...Yes I have been sought by everyone from Sultans, Shieks and Kings to paupers and slaves for restoring their precious bodies to full glorious functioning . How delighted I would be to have the Dolphin Baths as my venue to share these skills with my beloved co-citizens of Ireem and the sands.


I promise to be available and accessible, training my employees in these most special arts and to have this wondrous source of healing ready for all in Ireem.

I humbly ask for the votes of our people of all races and clans to manage these most beautiful baths and massage rooms and maintain a standard of excellence we have not experienced here before.
Salaam Ireem ( smiles )
