"We have detailed images of the woman." The crow caws. "If there's anyone in Arendelle close in appearance, we will find her. I'll be back in a few minutes." The crow disappears.

Moro and Danielle return to the rest of the group.

A few minutes later, the crow returns with a hand-held flag in its beak. It's a typical mass-produced hand-held flag, a cloth flag stapled to a wooden stick. The flag has a golden sun with a purple background. The crow gives it to Moro.

Elsa immediately recognizes the flag. "That's the flag of the neighboring Kingdom of Corona."

Holding the flag, Moro recalls seeing the flag before. "Yeah, that's right, it is."

The crow caws. "Jane Doe snuck in the Arendelle castle at night. Don't know where in the castle she was at first but that doesn't matter. We had a crewmember posted outside Elsa's window. At first Elsa was not in her room. Didn't know where she was. Elsa came back to her room and into bed. Jane Doe goes into Elsa's room. Crewmembers alerted the guards there's trouble in Elsa's room. Jane Doe escapes the castle as guards enter Elsa's room. We capture her and use the ice lake method to get answers."

Moro stops the crow right there. "You dunk her in a frozen lake? What Einstein thought using something that leads to memory loss would be a good way to get answers?"

"A dunk in a frozen lake can lead to death, not memory loss." Jeanette's interjection does not seem the sway the conversation in anyway.

The crow continues. "We were unable to determine why Jane Doe was in the Arendelle castle."

Moro responds with more sarcasm. "You didn't get answers even after dunking the woman in a frozen lake? You should have submerged her longer."

"We got something. Her name is Gothel. She's the witch who kidnapped the princess of Corona. We found Princess Rapunzel right where Gothel said she would be. We returned the little girl to her parents. The king and queen would have given us the sun if we asked for it. Instead we asked for their hand in friendship. We have a new ally. King Frederic bears no resemblance to Elsa's parents. Queen Arianna bears a strong resemblance to Queen Iduna, Elsa's mom. We did not probe into why she is missing from the family tree; she did confirm she is Queen Iduna's sister. Rapunzel is queen of Corona to this day."

"The time line has been altered again." Moro kneels down and hands the Corona flag to Elsa. "This will mean more to you than me."

Elsa accepts the flag. "Why?"

"We found Princess Rapunzel. She's all right. What's more, she's your cousin."

Elsa smiles. "Princess Rapunzel has been found and she's my cousin?"

Moro smiles and nods.

Still holding the flag, Elsa throws her arms around Moro. "You found the missing princess and she's my cousin."

"That's something worth celebrating." Jeanette interjects though the rescue happened two hundred sixty three years ago.

Edit: Edited to correct a mathematical error. Princess Rapunzel was rescued two hundred sixty three years ago, not two hundred sixty.

Hondo and his groups had moved off a bit, though still in line of sight to Jeanette and her people to listen to a hill-billy band and get some food.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

A lot of sour faces are being made in the conference room like everyone discovered that somebody pee'd in their community bowl of oatmeal. Many are not liking the freeing of slaves and hiring them as it would ruin them economically, or so they think and believe. But many others are more weary about bringing freed slaves as community members as they believe would be a strain on their resources. Fernando had to go down on the basics of free market and non-prejudice in making a community greater by helping those members of the community to obtain a higher level so they productive members of society and not a strain on society. This would take years to complete but for those that do, the rewards of a stronger community and richer resources is what they will receive.

The 6o'clock hour is fast coming with several more settlements beginning to accept the treaty agreement. Treaty expansion is discussed as the airships and railroads would reach to other to settlement communities further away. The last sticking point is discussed - Slavia's Airship maintenance and transport of goods. Slavia can reach settlements with airship support and knows which ones they are. Not all settlements have airship support, and many would take the arrival of the airships as an invasion force.

One of the Native American tribes speaks out, "There's a settlement hundreds of miles to the south that use winged flying machines that fly as silent as the eagle in the wind."

http://1080.plus/LAK16_Mokykla_2001_Lietuva_by_Algirdas_Lux/GjdQhNHsJps.video

Fernando thinks that it sounds like a glider, as gliders are easy to make and launch with a car, motorcycle or wench (like in the video above), and have been around since the 1890s. But the last thing Slavia needs is one of these gliders crashing into an airship and causing war with them after the glider explodes out of the sky and burns on the ground.

"Well, you people, all in this room need to tell the communities out there that if an airship comes with certain markings on its sides, it is from Slavia and it comes in peace for trade and fuel. I'm sure they would be willing to sell some fuel and embark on trade to make money on the deal." Fernando tells them.

The technology is there to spread the word but there are limits to the technology. CB can only get to the next town without a skip if they are lucky and messages relayed to other communities but the higher one is, the further up the antenna is, the further the reach gets. Radio power is another issue, 5 watts will get one out tens of miles but to go hundreds of miles directly without a skip, one needs at least 1000 watts. Without a Power Signal Booster (aka a "Power Linear") this is not possible.

It is 6:18PM when the voice over the town's loud speaker says for to hear, "Foedus Pactum!"

The people out in the festival all look at each other wondering what was said until another voice is heard over the public address loud speaker, "The Treaty Is Signed!"

Then the party really begins, and the word is spread out through the CB airwaves, making a roar of cheers hundreds of miles wide. The conference rooms empties out as the leaders and their entourage leave to join the party outside. Fernando walks out to a window and looks out into the market area where the festival was being held.

Quote from Hondo I. Sackett on Jul 18^th, 2016, 8:16pm:

Hondo and his groups had moved off a bit, though still in line of sight to Jeanette and her people to listen to a hill-billy band and get some food.

Jeanette and those with her join Hondo and those with him.

There is no such thing as Jeanette's group, Fernando's group or Hondo's group. There is one party. The diverse party includes a professional singer/voice actress, a genetically engineered dressmaker, a tree-hugging transforming alien, a snow queen and princess, a mouser who speaks two animal languages and is an expert on the Japanese author Shizuku Tsukishima, a blind gunslinger who memorized the King James Bible, a computer engineer, a doctor/time-trapped Immortal/father of seven girls/life guard/rescuer/EMT/police officer/federal agent/computer programmer/computer hacker/Olympic fencer with a long list of talents, a preteen who grew up in a whorehouse, an engineer/oilfield worker, and a multi-linguistic mechanical/electrical engineer and professional pilot. If a stone mason and Hasidic rabbi joined the party, the diversity would be complete.

Elsa brings the hand held flag of Corona with her. After the band finishes their number, Chihiro asks, "Do you know 'Take Me Home, Country Roads'?"

With nearly everyone gone outside to enjoy the festivities, hopefully those in the treaty conference will find the food out there to be much more palatable than the treaty they had to swallow.

Fernando walks about the area of the conference room and finds a balcony and steps out onto it. From there he can see the festivities being held in the main market area. He does not care about what is going on outside, his mind is more into the original owner of the tattered EMT jacket he has. Thing is, who knows who's jacket this is? It could be anyone's as it was mass produced for the rescue force of EMT NYC had at the time.

"You should not be here alone. Somebody could kill you from behind." An all too familiar voice tells him.

"I seriously doubt anyone would succeed if they dare try, Lacey." Fernando tells her without turning to face her. "Like the six body guards you have in the room behind us. They should be practicing their marksmanship outside at the duck shoot and not getting fat munching on the Roasted Mutant Giant Chicken Leg."

"You should be out there with my little girl showing her the time of her life before you take her to some hotel room and have your way with her. That is what she wants..." Lacey tells him.

"A father never turns on his daughters for such activities. A father's love to his little girl has lines that shall never be crossed." Fernando tells her, throwing in, "Now Lacey, what do you want?"

"Want? Nothing. You have given me a lot more than any man could give me without slipping in me the sausage of Love. Slavia... Ha! That is a whole lot more than 'Lacey's House of Debauchery and Women of Ill Repute.' So what shall it be, since no man gives that much to anyone without wanting something in return."

"Only thing I ever wanted was to be left alone. Not even here am I getting that. Now grant me that so I can be in peace." Fernando tells her.

"Then can I make one request before I go?" Lacey asks.

"What is it? I give no promise on fulfilling it." Fernando tells her.

"Sometime with my daughter, besides other things, to have that 'mother/daughter' talk." Lacey tells her.

"She's out there somewhere with my assistant. You want to talk to her, go find her." He tells her.

"So, she's a handful or what?" Lacey asks.

"Playing 20 questions?" Fernando asks.

"20 Questions?" Lacey asks.

"Its a game of intellect and intelligence back in New York City. You got 20 questions to figure something out, so you use each question to limit the possibility something is or is not until you find out what it is. So far you have asked 7 questions about Macey. She's fine, still in the same virgin condition I found her in and is learning to be on grade level when I take her to school. Now if you are going to see her and ask her question, that is on you, she's out there having a good time and not stealing food to eat or doing it with dogs to get companionship." Fernando tells her.

"Alright then. Until next we meet, ta ta for now." Lacey says before she begins to walk away.

"We sure do, little lady." The band begins to play "Take Me Home, Country Roads."

Chihiro provides the vocals with a smile on her face as she taps her feat and moves to the music.

"Mom, do you want to dance?" Penny asks.

"I don't know how to dance to this style of music; sure." This is Jeanette's first dance with her daughter.

On the balcony with Fernando, as she begins to walk away, something in the festivities catches Lacey's attention. "Isn't that your EMT partner? Who's the girl she's dancing with?"

At the end of the song, one of the band members compliments Chihiro. "That was wonderful."

"I use to sing that as Seiji Amasawa plays the violin." Chihiro has good vocals but she only knows the words to one song. Chihiro notices a certificate in the violin case written in Japanese. "I know Japanese, may I see the certificate?"

"Go ahead. None of us can read Japanese."

On the certificate is the name of the violinmaker.

天沢聖司

Chihiro gasps as she reads the name. "Seiji Amasawa. The luthier who made your violin is the boy I fell in love with."

A black bat with blue eyes flies over a building and hovers in mid air as she looks at the festivities on the street below. She spots the person she's looking for. She flaps her wings to reach a higher elevation. With her nose down, she retracts her wings and makes a dive to the street below. The thrill-seeking bat extends her wings and pulls out of the dive. She flaps her wings, hovering at Moro's level and speaks with a high-pitched voice.

"Mavis. I can't understand you in this form. You sound like chipmunk on caffeine." Moro turns to Jeanette. "No offense, Jeanette."

Mavis transforms to the form of a human eighteen-year-old girl. She has black hair, light skin, blue eyes and bat teeth. She's wearing a little black dress, black and red horizontal-striped stockings, red shoes, black nail polish and dark makeup. She looks at Jeanette who is next to Moro. "You transform into a chipmunk? That is so cool. I don't believe I've meet anyone who transforms into a chipmunk."

"This is Jeanette Miller." Moro says. "She's a human who has played the voice of Jeanette in four of the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies."

Jeanette has played Jeanette in three of the movies; she will play the role one last time after she returns to 2010.

"Jeanette Miller? The same Jeanette Miller who wrote that journal?"

Jeanette looks to Moro. "Just how many copies of my journal were published?"

"Relax. None of the copies were publically released. Mavis probably got a hold of a copy it because of her family's connections."

Jeanette looks at Mavis' teeth and her gothic appearance. "Do you drink blood?"

"Blood is not kosher so I drink red wine instead."

"I never heard of Jewish vampires."

"You're kidding, right? You actually believe in vampires?"

"I believe in aliens."

Mavis turns to Moro. "As you can see, I found the location of the town I read about. It's cool that slaves are set free but what's with the red neck band? I have some friends who can rock this party."

"Mavis, think about where we are. The people here like this music."

"Don't be such an old lady, Moro. Even the mariachi band in the hotel is better than this. The people are dying to rock this house. You'll see."

Hondo and those who we more loyal to him and Fernando than Jeanette or Moro we're enjoying the mix of old country and bluegrass, though they all rather not hear any more john Denver songs.

Hondo saw another strange character join Jeanette and Moro . He just shook his head. Hondo was tempted to head back to the camper and drink himself happy, as this mess wasnt gonna do it, but danger still lurked and the younger ones were having fun.

They all turned to look as the loud speakers annoinced the signed treaty, and the festival got noticably louder, as the music.picked up, other groups started and the locals sang in joy. This just put him on endge all the more. Things were going too well. Maybe it was just him but somethong felt off. He kept an eye out for Fernando but didnt see him.

Ruth and her sisyers danced to the music as did zoey, macey, and the little boys. Valentine even danced with them for a bit. Hondk jusy found a pole to lean against. He lit up a cigar and puffed on it. It may have seemed.like he was watching everyone dance but he was more so scannong the crowd for trouble. No rest for the weary.

Notes: There are only a few country songs I like. To find a common ground, I picked one. Didn't know I picked the wrong one. As for yesterday's post, I needed to do something. The story wasn't moving.

"Mavis, seeing the world means experiencing a wide variety of music." Moro says to the eighteen-year-old Spirit who has lived a sheltered life and is ignorant of what the world is really like beyond her four walls.

Mavis looks at Elsa. "You must be Princess Elsa."

"You know who I am?" Elsa asks.

Mavis curtsies. Despite being wild, Mavis has been properly raised. "Of course. Your platinum blonde hair in a single braid gave it away." Mavis looks at Penny. "Penelope! Your hair is different. Otherwise you haven't changed a bit. I should have realized the woman you're with as your mom, Jeanette."

At first Jeanette thinks it odd that Mavis recognizes Penny but does not recognize her, just her name. Despite not wanting to accept immortality, Hikaru says she did accept immortality. If Jeanette did accept immortality wouldn't Mavis recognize her? Mavis recognizes Jeanette's Immortal daughter.

Mavis looks at Jeanette again. "You do look different but I can't believe I didn't recognize you at first." Mavis then looks at the thirteen-year-old Japanese girl in the red dress. "Wait! You must be."

"Yes, she is." Moro interrupts. "This is Chihiro."

Confused, Mavis wonders what that was about. Her expression changes. "Oh, right." Mavis looks at Chihiro again. "Chihiro, it is such an honor to meet you. I can't wait until . . . you find Baroness Louise."

"What was that about?" Jeanette asks.

"Hikaru, could you please watch Elsa and Penny?" Before Hikaru gets a chance to say anything, Moro takes Jeanette by the hand and leads her to a more private location. "What just happened cannot be recorded in your journal. Do you understand?"

"I don't know what just happened so I don't know what I'm not supposed to write." Jeanette thinks about it. "Is Chihiro even her real name?"

"For the sake of her privacy, it is."

"Then why is my journal even published?"

"It's not available to the general public." Moro answers.

"Is Chihiro actually Baroness Louise?"

"Leave it alone, Jeanette."

"Moro, no. I don't think I have seen you in your wolf form unless you are the wolf who led me to the old church. In human form, you still have wolf ears and your wolf tail. Mavis has vampire teeth when she's not in her bat form. Baroness Louise is in the form of a cat. Chihiro has feline teeth and she was catching mice until Fernando told her she could die if she eats a sick mouse. Chihiro was held captive by another group of Spirits in Japan in 1995. You rescued and brought Chihiro to Charlton last year."

"We did not rescue her but we did bring her to Charlton where she would be safe. The Spirits who held Chihiro against her will are not time travelers. They are time manipulators. Chihiro aged a few days as seventy years went by."

"How old is Chihiro, really?"

"Thirteen and she's still growing."

"Is Baron Humbert really in love with . . . Baroness Louise?"

"Whisper of the Heart is a fantasy novel, a work of fiction."

"It was inspired by actual Spirits. If the Baron really was in love with Louise, then he likes female Spirits who are young. Chihiro is in love with a violin maker."

"Seiji Amasawa was studying to be a violin maker then but yes. Seiji is a human boy Chihiro's age."

"A human and a Spirit can fall in love with each other?"

"It happens. I know of two situations. The first one I know of nothing came of it. The other, which has not happened yet, resulted in a Spirit/human hybrid."

"What was the Spirit and what was the human?"

"The Spirit is female, the human is male."

"When it does happen, I imagine he will have the time of his life. Back to Chihiro, how does Clark Kent go about finding Superman with a laptop?"

Moro sighs. "Jeanette, you are over simplifying the situation. Chihiro needs to find Baroness Louise and she is the only one who can."

As they return to the rest of the group Jeanette asks. "Moro, is a beautiful woman like you interested in anyone?"

"No."

"We have something in common."

"I know."

Note: I will write Mavis' profile soon.
