Dalaran Senate Meeting: August 22nd, 35 LC

The following is a written record of the Magus Senate of Dalaran session from August 22nd, 35 LC.

Record
Zanbor Emerson: This session is called to order. Senator Price, could you talk about the trial from Tuesday?

Victor Price: I was not present, Speaker.

Zanbor Emerson: Oh, I just thought since you were in the Justice Ministry. Anyone present for that?

Delca Grant: I could say a few words, Speaker.

Zanbor Emerson: Senator Grant.

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Delca Grant: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">On August the eighteenth, the Ministry of Justice held a trial for the accused 'Mageslayer' who had been preying upon select senators in the past few weeks. In a seemingly desperate move, her defense plead guilty, in an attempt to evade the death penalty. She succeeded in doing so. She was sentenced to life in the Violet Hold. Upon leaving the courtroom, just before entering the portal to her cell, she was shot through the heart by an unidentified gunman, who escaped Dalaran by means yet to be determined. We have a bad rep of letting our prisoners... 'die' before they reach the Hold, do we not?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Neydtia: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Agreed.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Oliviaxi Shadesong: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">That's twice in a year?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Delca Grant: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Correct, Shadesong.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Zanbor Emerson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Thank you Senator Grant. Senator Brisby, would you like to talk about the engineering class?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Hellissa Brisby: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">We did a basic engineering class on how to make the most basic blast power. We ground up stones found with copper ore, into dust. If you leave too many chunks, it doesn't explode right, if it's too fine, then well, it just burns. It makes a loud littleboom, and you can expect exploding glitter mail. That's all.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Zanbor Emerson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">I was told something happened last night. Can anyone speak about that? Senator Price.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Victor Price: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Last night, the mages at the Dalaran crater sent a distress call for aid. They had a very strange encounter with an infernal, that had abruptly exploded. Details are still a tad hazy, but there are quite a few minds working to piece together the clues. If you believe you could be of help, I think there are public reports of the matter available for perusal. However, it's a bit odd- an infernal of arcane? Heh. That is all, I will return to my spot.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Zanbor Emerson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Moving on to next week, Senator Baelheit is having a class on Wednesday. The third Dazzling Championship is on Tuesday. Senator Brisby you have something coming up.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Hellissa Brisby: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Right! History. I've got an old-world-history traditions class coming up. It'll cover some of the origins of various holiday things, as well as wedding traditions. If anyone wants to bring their non-human or non- Arathorian based history stuff, they are free to share stories too. That's all.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Zanbor Emerson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Right. We move now to open floor. Anyone wishing to speak may raise their hand. Senator Brisby.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Hellissa Brisby: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Doctor Price and I are starting a fund raiser for the Creative Wizard School to rebuild their school. Please donate money to either of us, and we'll try and get you a tax-write-off slip.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Zanbor Emerson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Thank you. Senator Shadesong.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Oliviaxi Shadesong: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Isn't that the school with that fucker that tried to burn us down while we were in it?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Hellissa Brisby: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Yes, but that wouldn't have happened if they -had a school-.Besides, we can't punish everyone for the actions of one.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Zanbor Emerson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Anyone else? Right, does anyone have any legislation they wish to introduce? Seeing as the author of the bill is not here and no one seems to want to introduce it without him, there will be no vote.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I think the bill needs more time to be evaluated and rewritten. A vote today is premature. It is an important bill, but it must be done right, and we are not yet to the phase where I am comfortable with it being introduced.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Arranax DeVin: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I'd like to speak on this vote.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> There's no point, Arranax, if there's no vote.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Hellissa Brisby: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">There is no vote right now.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> You can continue to circulate your memos as you see fit, but if no one disagrees with my assessment... I don't see a point in wasting time or breath when penstrokes are plenty good.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Arranax DeVin: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I think it's important that some concerns be addressed.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Hellissa Brisby: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">That's what the vote office is for.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Well, yes, but we're not to that phase yet.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Arranax DeVin: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Still, if you wish, Lausten.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Vorien Dawnstrider: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> Since Liridian isn't here, I feel it would be improper to hold a vote on it now.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Zanbor Emerson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Senator Neydtia, for what reason do you raise your hand?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Neydtia: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">I simply wanted to say that the bill is something of great importance and just wanted to draw it to the attention of the Senators who have not read it. Please get involved in this one. That is all I wanted to say.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Arranax DeVin: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Yes. Your liberty and freedom are at stake.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Delca Grant: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">As is yours.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Arranax DeVin: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> I concur.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Meriahm Lausten: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">  If only there were some sort of adhesive that would allow one's mouth to remain firmly closed, and we could access it in sufficient quantities...

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Zanbor Emerson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Anything else regarding legislation before we move on? Senator Smithson.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Erfaun Smithson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> If I am allowed. I motion that the bill be brought up for debate.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Zanbor Emerson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">The motion has been called for any seconds? Seeing no seconds the motion fails. We will move on. Senator Brisby do you want to do promotions tonight?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Hellissa Brisby: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Sure. Doctor Price, please step forward. Doctor Price, you've been leading investigations, helping people's brains, talking people out of stupid stuff, and you've been set on fire. You are officially a real Senator, and we are happy to have you. Congratulations, Collegue. Dismissed.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Victor Price: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif""> Thank you.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Hellissa Brisby: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Senator Silvergaze, please step forward.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Neydtia: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif""> This is my favorite part. Never know what they're going to say.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Hellissa Brisby: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">Senator Silvergaze, you have thus far been an amazing member, filled with ideas, opinions, and ready to argue like the rest of us, while flinging spells. Congratulations on being a Senator. Dismissed. Senator Smithson, please step foward. You've went from icky thing we found, to Head of the Alchemy department. Quite a leap. People trust you with their inner most emotions, and share their lives with you. In that, you are a guard of the emotions, or we'll just go with Vanguard. Congratulations. Dismissed. That's all for promotions tonight. Back to you, Speaker!

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"">Zanbor Emerson: <span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"">This session is adjourned.
