Venus' eyes gleam as she sees Naoki, and she waves to her. Lorraine and Jers stare at Venus. "Why don't we simply ask the woman in charge?" Venus said to Lorraine, arrogance dripping from her voice. She stood, walking relatively quickly to Naoki, Lorraine Mykes and Ronald Jers reluctantly following the Inquisitor. Venus tried to not roll her eyes, she could practically sense Lorraine preparing to spew glorious poems of the Empress to curry her favor. "Greetings, Empress Naoki." She purred, the lascivious lilt dialed to 2 instead of it's usual 9 when she spoke to the empress. "My esteemed.. Colleagues, would like to petition for a moment of your time?" Venus spoke, unsure how to refer to the others. While Ronald was a (relatively) esteemed officer, Lorraine was a mere clerk of the Arts Department, not even a Junior Officer. It was only due to her background, and family name, that she held any significance in Venus' eyes. Still, by her tone, Venus was only using the professional language to sate social convention, her actual tone was very casual and conversational.
Lorraine was starry-eyed at seeing the empress so close. While one could normally, perhaps, see the empress every so often, Lorraine's job kept her in the back, organizing files and what-not. Her enthusiasm was only diluted by Venus' presence. How dare the trollop speak so casually to the Empress? If anyone deserved to do that, it was Lorraine. She was the one who kept things neat. She was the one who organized festivals!
Ronald Jers was, for lack of a better term, a bit flustered. While not as awe-struck as Mykes, he was a bit embarrassed to be seen with the controversial blonde in the eyes of the empress. While some of his colleagues were infatuated with the empress's beauty, Jers cared little for that. Her intelligent nature, and from what he's heard, wit, was what, to him, made her a great ruler. Someone could be beautiful, and have a brain like a rock. Ronald's sister-in-law was a clear example of that. Melanie Jers was not smart, it was a wonder she lasted to adulthood. His face lightly dusted crimson as his companion and his boss began to interact.

“Very well.” The Empress stops and turns to face the motley crew.

"Lorraine wishes to cut the magical research budget by half for more pretty parties." Venus said dryly, glancing deviously at the horrified Lorraine.
"N-no!" She stammered out, blushing intensely in embarrassment. "I simply think that the magical research budget could be reduced to fund into other areas, such as Civic Events for the city, including festivals, but another park, perhaps one for the children, and so on, so forth."
"I disagree with her, as I do not think that quite as efficient use of money. We consulted Mr. Jers, who seems to think that the Arts funds should be decreased. We simply thought, why not ask the woman in charge herself?" Based off of her tone, it's clear Venus believes it was all HER idea to ask Naoki, not the others.

“Hmm.” Striking a contemplative look, The Empress puts a hand to her chin and considers.
“The first thing to consider is that festivals are done on flexible budgets. The evaluation of how much and where to spend money is done as part of the festival planning process, not as part of any of the larger periodic budgets.”
“Still, spending less on The Enclave would mean we could spend more on the Arts as you describe. But, there would need to be a compelling reason to do so.”
“The benefit of funding The Enclave is that we retain our dominance in the field. No other entity has as large, as powerful, as well-equipped, or as modern a group of magi as Isra. There are no comparable institutions of learning; when a child is found to have ability, they’re sent here, and become an asset.” The Empress speaks with her hands, gesturing to punctuate her sentences.
“You could choose to make a distinction between maintaining The Enclave and funding their research, but that’s a difficult distinction to make. Because really, what are they doing over there? They’re training the new generation, and they’re doing research. We could attempt to scale back the research and pay only to keep the torches lit, but then the magical talent would go elsewhere to do their research.”
“A better argument would be to assert that The Enclave is not spending its gold wisely. That is a legitimate concern, especially as far as accidents are concerned. Replacing a carpet for the third time this year because someone spilled some corrosive reagent on it — that gold could be better spent, yes.”

"They use carpeting? Why not simply replace that with marble, which is far easier to clean?" Lorraine asked. Reluctantly, Venus agreed with that statement. Although if one dropped a vial, it would most certainly shatter on marble, while it may not on carpet.
As if by, well, magic, Venus became even more beautiful, her slightly freckled skin fading into pure milky porcelain, her hair curling as she ran a well-manicured hand through the locks. While to Lorraine or Jers, who were more focused on the Empress, these small changes would not be noticeable, it was blatant what Venus was trying to imply, especially as she 'rearranged' her dress, smoothing out wrinkles or parts that got caught under skin. "While that is indeed a good idea, Miss Mykes, I do think that would simply allow us to allocate more funding to research. If I'm correct, it takes experienced magi to teach the next generation, which would take them away from research, correct?" Venus asked.
"It would go far better to a park for children, or perhaps a zoo. The research budget is already large, we don't need to expand it to retain our dominance." Lorraine snapped.
"You can never be too advanced." Venus said, winking at Naoki subtly as if to reinforce her point, before looking at Lorraine, who seemed mildly horrified at the, in her opinion, break in protocol and respect.

The Empress shrugs, smirking. “I’m not The Enclave’s interior decorator. That’s The Minister of Magic’s responsibility, and I’ve asked him to do what he can to make more efficient use of his funds. That was the example I used, so I hope he’s addressed it by this point.”
Watching Venus change, Naoki does her best not to stare, but the process is… interesting. She isn’t sure why Venus is changing, or whatever it is she’s getting at but doesn’t mention it. She also doesn't address any "protocol," as she isn't functioning in an official capacity.
In response to Lorraine’s second comment, The Empress shrugs. “You should probably speak with the head of your department about parks. That would fall under ‘Arts,’ wouldn’t it…? It could, I suppose.” A third shrug. “The short answer is ‘if you have ideas about how the gold should be spent, go through the proper channels.’ Send them to Jers here.” She gestures to him.

Venus sighs as the Empress seems to not get her meaning. Lorraine smiles smugly however at Venus's attempted advance being seemingly rebuked. "Thank you, your radiance." Lorraine says, curtsying a little as she forcefully loops her arm with Jers, dragging him away. The two were talking rather loudly, well, Lorraine was. Jers was quietly interjecting every so often.
Venus hums. "They like each other, or at least, respect each other. Lorraine perhaps moreso than Jers." Venus states plainly. "They'd be cute together, if she dropped her ego." Venus says, biting her lip once, before wetting the mark. "What brings you here, dear Empress?" She asks with a lilt of lust in her voice.

“I’ve come to have my nails done,” Lady Naoki responds, staring at Venus entirely deadpan.
“‘What brings me to the library?’” She scoffs. “I’ve come to reead, dear Venus; why do you think I’ve come to the library? To gossip with clerks?” She gestures in the direction Jers and Lorraine left in.
“I could ask you the same question,” she prompts.

"Yes, I could tell." She says dryly, arching an eyebrow. "Read what, though? And for your information, I was looking for a book on socio-political dynamics. I happened to bump into Lorraine, who was raving about the budget with Jers. I interjected, and she took great offense." Venus smoothed her dress once more.

Naoki smirks, glad that she was able to rib Venus a bit without getting eviscerated.
“I’m here to research pre-cataclysmic dynasties, and how Empires of the past have handled the transfer of power. As I’m sure you, Lorraine, her cousin, and everyone else are aware, there’s no clear plan in place for who the next ruler of Isra will be. Simply put, I’m looking for ideas.” With this, Naoki shrugs. It’s a problem, she’s admitted it’s a problem, but she isn’t enthused about solving it.

"Simply pass it onto an heir." Venus said with a shrug. "It's not a particularly difficult thing, you just would need to make the public fond of the heir, and it would be a, hopefully, easy transition. Is that why I've heard so much fuss over you picking a potential consort?"
She's a bit amused at the thought of Naoki taking an official consort, and then a bit annoyed. Her tongue flickers inside her mouth, lashing at the side of her mouth. She smiles though, letting none of her internal thoughts show.

“That would be the idea, yes. To pass it on to an heir — that isn’t going to be the difficult part.”
“The difficult part is who. I have my choice of volunteers, but who among them would make a suitable ruler of Isra? How do I determine such a thing? What criteria should I value? Can I get out of this without having to bear a child myself? These are the questions I seek to answer in procrastination of doing anything about the issue.”

Naoki’s reaction is at first one of amusement. Then she begins to consider the idea. Putting a hand to her chin, it’s a moment before she responds.
“... There is a certain expectation that the Isran people have which… isn’t that. I’ve already shattered most of the precedents set by my predecessor, and the Isra of today is undoubtedly not the same one by which I was elected, but I feel as if the formation of an official Imperial Harem and the use of ‘alternative methods’ for me to father a child would rub some the wrong way.”
“Correction: I know that such a move would anger some and paint Isra in a certain light in the eyes of the world. It will remain to be seen if I do it anyway, but I also must consider the precedent that I will set. You suggest a good option, and it’s for that reason I aim to explore all my options before making a decision.”
While seemingly candid, Naoki’s response bears in mind that they’re in a semi-public setting and what she says here will find its way to the rumor mill before long.

Venus sighs. "You mortals are just such.. Strange creatures, with such peculiar customs." She says, a pout on her face. "I can understand exploring all options before making a decision, but why would you care what the other nations think?" She leans closer, to whisper in Naoki's ear.
"You could easily crush them beneath your heel, after all."

Naoki shrugs. What sort of question is that?
“By that same logic, why should I care what anyone thinks, if I could just have them killed?”
“You must keep in mind, Venus, that I don’t have any actual power. The only reason I have power is because people are willing to do what I ask them. And the only reason they’re willing to do that is because I am well liked, with a good reputation. I must be cautious not to betray the trust of the people, lest they come to doubt me. I could conceivably change to a style of rulership through strength and fear, I would really rather not. It’s not nearly as efficient.”

"You don't?" She asked, somewhat incredulously. The idea was honestly shocking to Venus. She figured the empress held power through love of the people, but still. Truly, the idea of a monarch without any power... What even could? Venus sighed. "That's not particularly safe."

Naoki laughs. “No, it’s not. That’s what makes being mortal so fun,” she teases.
“Though, to be fair, I can call upon a great deal of power, more than any of my contemporaries.” Here, Naoki gives Venus a knowing look. She isn’t going to go into detail here in the library, but Venus has met Grandma.
“That, and I have my little trinkets.” Naoki pats the pouch on her hip, referring to her gemstones. “And I’ve gotten this far, but now you understand why I’m keen to make sure the transfer of power goes smoothly.”

"That is quiet true," Venus says with a chuckle. She's met Grandma, and she knew that old lady was more powerful than perhaps even she herself. She had no idea by how much, though. Venus looks at Naoki, analyzing her words with curiosity. Why would she ever wish to transfer power? Unless she was dying, she could just abdicate.
"But you are well, beyond the stress this dilemma gives you?" She asked, pleased with the subtle way of asking 'are you fatally ill'. Venus was not totally naive to mortal customs, and she knew there were nearby people, mostly Lorraine, glancing at them.

Empress Naoki
Famous
Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

“Yes? ...” It takes a moment for The Empress to understand the question, whereupon she nods. “Yes, I’m quite well, I just don’t intend to be The Empress forever.”
“Don’t misinterpret,” she adds. “I fulfill my duty to Isra happily and intend to continue for some years to come. But it’s like I said, being mortal.” She shrugs slightly. There’s more to it — and the look she gives Venus conveys that, but that will remain unsaid.
“And it is my responsibility to see that Isra will continue to prosper far into the future, beyond the limits of my body. The most important part of that is seeing that my successor is competent and capable of leading Isra to greater and greater heights of strength and prosperity, beyond what I will accomplish.”
“So,” The Empress gestures, bringing the conversation back about to where it began, “Yes, I am looking into options as they pertain to successors.”
