2d Clark, 36th Cosa: Senate votes

[Hooligan]

The Senator for Cézembre rises, hiccoughs.

Somaliland, being in every way as fully constituted a country as is our noble Kingdom, has earned our recognition. For 36RZ5, I proudly vote për.

Lord President Catilglhâ, being in every way as cool a personage as is anyone else in our noble Kingdom, has also earned our recognition. For 36RZ6, I proudly vote për.

And if I have those two reasons backwards, and RZ5 is really RZ6 and vice-versa, so be it.

Before yielding the floor, I wish to announce that I believe we should introduce a Resolution of the Senate to keep the members in the seats of this place better stocked with libation.

Lord Hooligan sits again, holding up his empty glass, his eyebrows raised in the traditional Senatorial "uh, can you see me over here?" look.

[Lord Q]

36RZ5 - per
36RZ6 - austaneu (I will be happy to serve if the Ziu confirms, but I don't think it's proper to publicly vote for myself)

[King John]

Stands, clears throat.

The Senator for (and from) Florenciâ is pleased to vote PËR on 36RZ5, hoping that this excellent measure will open a new era of friendship and coöperation between our great nations.

Further, he (I) is (am) supremely glad to vote PËR on 36RZ6 to confirm Lord Castiglhâ's nomination to the Cort, even while lamenting Lord Lauriéir's leaving that august tribunal.

Drains glass. Beckons page. I yield the floor. Sotto voce: "Bring me just one more, would you? Thanks."

— John Woolley, UrN, Senator for Florenciâ

[Olaf]

Covered in dirt, the Senetor for Maricopa walks in, sets his rapier on his desk, coughs, drinks some water, coughs again, says hoarsely to his staring fellows of the Senate "Rough day," and dusts off his appaulets. The Senatorial custodian extraordinaire (do we have one of those?) immediately rushes over with his shopvac, but then rushes away muttering that he needs more horsepower.

Clears throat.

Gentlemen of the Senate. I beg your patience. Here are my votes in the currect Clark.

Per on 36RZ5. I look forward to results of this act.
And I vote per on 36RZ6. It almost seems straightforward enough. Good act.

Thank you.

Raises glass to no one in particular, takes another sip, picks up rapier, and walks out.

[Trotxâ]

During a quiet lull in Senatorial conversation, on a rare moment when the tinkling of ice cubes goes silent, a soft bubbling sound can be heard coming from a large pile of pillows in one corner of the chamber. The bubbling stops, and a wonderful aroma of shisha tobacco mixed with dried fruit, cappuccino, and vanilla drifts over the heads of the assembled worthies. The Senator from Vuode rises from his prone position on the pillows, places a silver mouthpiece on the hook at the middle of a large silver and green glass hookah, coughs, and says in a croaking voice:

Present!

cough, cough, cough.

The Senator from Vuode cough would like to thank cough, cough new citizen Yassine Khalifi cough, cough, cough for his most excellent recommendations. cough, cough, cough, cough.

The Senator from cough Vuode seconds Baron Tepista's Resolution of the Senate to keep the members cough in the seats of this place better stocked cough with libation.

I cough, cough yield the floor.

The Senator from Vuode again places the silver mouthpiece between his lips, grabs the tongs holding a lit coal and attempts again to operate the hookah, which is taller than he is.
