[TinCow]

*Lothar Steffen walks into the Diet and takes his seat with the Bavarian delegation. He looks around the room and grins.*

Long live Kaiser Jobst!

[AussieGiant]

Arnold stands

Kaiser is Dead!! Long Live the Kaiser!!

[Stuperman]

I deeply mourn at the news that Henery is dead, he was a cool head in many times of crisis, an example for all to look up to. His Presence on the battlefield always inspired confidance, and his council always inspired hope, may his journey to Sto-Vo-Kor (OOC:Star trek anyone?) be celebrated my all.

Long Live Kaiser Jobst!

[GeneralHankerchief]

Conrad Salier:

Kaiser Henry was a model of consistency and hope for his entire tenure in office. I mourn his passing deeply. May the rest of you Electors follow his example.

I wish Kaiser Jobst a long and prosperous reign.

[gibsonsg91921]

Kaiser Henry always knew what was best for the Reich and executed his plans masterfully.

Long live Kaiser Jobst!!

[Ituralde]

It is with great regret that I hear of the death of Kaiser Henry!
He died far away in an unknown land, but he will be cherished by all people within the Empire! His service for the Reich has been outstanding and he will be missed by all.

I salute Kaiser Jobst and swear my fealty to him!

[Stig]

Ansehelm still in Rome mocking about Russians and no men to fight them walks into the Diet, only to here about the death of der Kaiser. He halts and speaks

I too am touched by the death of Kaiser Henry. I propose a week of mourning to, how will I put it, celebrate this man.
After that Prinz, excuse me, Kaiser Jobst can announce his heir.

You will have to excuse me now, I have been planning on going back to the north for quite some time now, this might not be the correct time, but I still need to assemble an army.

[Kagemusha]

Jonas Von Mahren enters the Diet.

"With great sadness.I will pass my condolences to the family of Kaiser Henry.I was with him,when Jerusalem fell and in my mind Henry represents the ideal of Holy Roman Kaiser. May he rest in peace. I hope that Kaiser Jobst will continue his fathers work to ensure the glory of the Reich. Heil Kaiser Jobst!"

Jonas salutes and drinks the whole pint of beer with one swallow,then he leaves the diet.

[Warluster]

Jobst stands,his head bowed

It is always a tragic event the death of someone, but the death of a Kaiser...

At least now you can rest your mind Henry... You had a long,properous reign.

I stride to live up to your deeds.

Now to other matters we are to attend to.
I believe Lyse von Salza is going to be of age, a princess soon. I encourage anyone who is thinking of winning her heart to do so.
Other then that, nothing else changes.

Jobst sits, now Kaiser Jobst.

[AussieGiant]

And what would winning her heart entail exactly Kaiser Jobst?

*Lothar Steffen walks into the Diet and takes his seat with the Bavarian delegation. He looks around the room and grins.*

Long live Kaiser Jobst!

Matthias's face grows stern, anger and resentment flash across his features as he witnesses his brother's actions. He leaps to his feet.

You arrogant bastard! Kaiser Henry is dead, the man who was ruler for our entire lives, who lead the Reich to glory and redemption, who, along with the the rest of the now departed first, great Generation, crafted the luxury and dominion we now enjoy. All this he has done, he had sacrificed for, and you caper into the Diet grinning like an idiot as if you've done something that's mattered!

Enjoy your hollow triumph over a dead man. I only hope we can meet the standards he set. To maintain the model of integrity he put forth in his rule. If you are any indication, brother, we will not.

Matthias's gaze shifts to take in the rest of the Diet.

The Kaiser is dead, God save the Reich!

May our Lord grant Kaiser Jobst the wisdom to rule well.

[TinCow]

Lothar rolls his eyes.

Dearest brother, you are being ever so rude. Have you no respect for the dead? Surely your inane rants about integrity can wait for a more proper moment. Regardless, we are here to pay our respects to our new Emperor and declare our loyalty to him. Did father not provide you with tutors to teach you of such formalities? I am simply doing my duty to my new Kaiser. Jobst is the future, my brother, and you would do well to respect him.

Perhaps you should retire from this place and rest. We have all heard of your constant illnesses. I would not want my own brother to catch his death in here. Hopefully the dry air in Outremer will do you some good. If not, perhaps you can have Conrad sneeze on you. Last I heard, the very spittle of the King of Outremer can cure the bloody flux! Or is that cause it? Apologies, I get these 'miracles' so mixed up these days.

[Cecil XIX]

It is obvious that you are the one being disrespectful, my Count of Florence. If you truly cared about being respectful to the dead, you would have either apologized or ignored the brother. You would *not* respond in an arrogant and condescending manner, claim that outrage at perceived insolence is itself insolence, or make uneccessary and uncalled for insults against the honorable King of Salier. And you would not make rediculous statements about the future, as if you only see reason to pay respect to the Kaiser because of his office. I say again, either apologize or be silent and let the matter pass.

[OverKnight]

Matthias glowers at Lothar but says nothing.

[FactionHeir]

Dirk Freihafen enters the diet

It is with great sorrow that I see a good friend pass away. I fear I should have been with him at his last moments, but alas, I could not.
I also bear a message from the late emperor's son, that he is mourning his father's passing in private, but wishes the new emperor divine guidance in ruling this vast empire.

[McIwoo]

*Observes his brothers’ public animosity with a stern face*

My dear brothers please respect this noble assembly and keep your self control.

The King is dead. Long live the King!
