[Jul '11] Happenings in Fumare
Jul. 25th, 2011 10:04 amThere are many things going on in Fumare these days...
In national affairs:
The Welleston Sun reports: Smashing News! Dastardly Ramians Sue for Peace!
News was spread across the nation today by telegraph that the Ramians have had jack of the fighting in the Colonies!
At nine of the morning this Tuesday last, dignitaries from Ramia, our own fine nation and the exotic Thedory Confederacy gathered together near the front in the Colonies. The significant moment occurred at a temporary armistice hall built with native Colonial assistance, under the objective eye of the Thedorian ambassadors to Ramia & Fumare. Our own ambassador to Ramia, Professor Countess Ignatia Goodwin, took up the quill on behalf of Fumare’s noble people, while one Lieutenant-Colonel Vranck Boors stood in for the former Ramian Ambassador Tarkhus Vaal (It is understood by the Sun that Mr Vaal has been recalled to Ramia and is to be replaced by Boors).
The terms of the agreement were simple: a cease-fire, with all hostile actions to cease at noon that day; exchange of prisoners of war to be conducted on equal and gentlemanly terms; territorial claims to be settled in a similar fashion at a later date.
Military sources in Welleston informed the Sun that they were quite pleased with the terms, since in the previous week the Fumarean war effort had captured some highly-strategic areas of the colonial landscape.
A handful of excitable young chaps from the third airborne received a reprimand for breaking the armistice that afternoon. They were quite reasonably pardoned from court-martial on account of their telegraph operator having been on a tea-break at the time of the armistice’s announcement.
In the Faculty social scene:
Rumour has been once again proven a fickle and unreliable source: Cutler & Red, Fumare’s most successful fashion brand since Gigi Fleet is not going to be breaking up as reputed!
After wowing the fashion scene with their choice of host and the dramatic, fireworks-enhanced finale of their Autumn Fashion Collection, gossip had it that there had been some kind of falling-out between the pair. Talk of a hiatus was circling like sharks. Cutler’s personal assistant fell ill (a sure sign of trouble known to most members of the Faculty scene).
However, Cutler & Red have just announced that they will be beginning work on their catalogue for AF 1010 and it will be better than anything seen before.
Among the Underclass:
Mason “Fingers” Russ has disappeared and the Riverstown-Appleton Ferry is no longer the place to go if you’re a dirty crook. Pete “Carnivorous Pigs” Smythe, the big man of Westlake, has put out word that anyone who can find Russ will be taken well care of.
Lesser Colton is the place to be if you want work and don't mind getting your hands dirty.
The Stonesdale Seven are still behind bars for their part in the rail-workers' riot three weeks back, even though the Marshals never filled in the paperwork properly. Word on the street is, it's orders from higher-up.
