Coun. van Allen knocks at Coun. Tusk's Office
Coun. van Allen: "Donald, are you there? I got some snacks. I'm just stopping by to discuss some things." -
The office is closed and empty. No one answered, no one breathed, no one did anything. It seemed like no one had been there for entire days, like if Tusk had gone out or something. Or maybe, he is staying out of the building for something. Whatever it is, no one was working there, or at least, that's what everyone thinks at the moment.
-
After waiting for 5 minutes, no one answered. Coun. van Allen proceeded then to a park where he ate the snacks on his own and shared some with a few staff of the EU Council passing by. When he finished, he then went back to his office to formulate his proposals to the council.
-
"Has he gone away?" Asked Donald Tusk, hid under the table.
"Sí señor, Van Allen se ha marchado", answered one of Tusk's secretaries. "I think he doesn't know that we have nothing to talk with Reitzmag". Said another secretary.
"I'll keep an eye on CCTV cameras, just in case he comes back and we have to hide again. Be silent" Said Tusk before resuming the paperwork. -
Friedrich received a call from his family, he answered the call and went to the window. He heard a crying lady in the call.
Coun. van Allen: "Hello hun, are you ok?"
Mrs. van Allen: "(still crying) Hun, mom is in the hospital. She had a heart attack and now she's in the ICU.(sobs)"
Coun. van Allen: "What???(answers in full surprise then begins to break into tears) Hun, I'm going back there."
Mrs. van Allen: "What about your work?"
Coun. van Allen: "I have to go back there especially during these emergencies even though I have a responsibility to do. I'll have my deputy councilor to be in post while I'm gone."The phone call ended and Friedrich began to cry. Yuridiana,the deputy councilor, heard him from the lobby of his office. She opened the door and was surprised why Friedrich was crying.
Dep. Coun. Yahontov: "Sir, why are you crying? Are you alright?"
Coun. van Allen: "I'm fine, I just have to return back because of an emergency. I need you to represent me during my absence."
Dep. Coun. Yahontov: 'Sir, I would do my best, be safe on your flight."Friedrich began to pack some of his things that he needs to bring.
-
Friedrich immediately went back to his office after being elected.
To his surprise he forgot that he still has the EPA flag behind his desk. So he replaced it immediately with the ELDR flag.

It was a nice day on Juncker's office. With the elections just about to end and the votes being casted on the Europolis' local Television, he decided that he had to go back into work. His advantage was fine enough to not force a different result than planned, a thing he didn't want to do. He looked at his agenda and saw:
- Submitting Leagioan petition for the loan.
- Call Simon from Reitzmag
The papers for the loan were ready, and the call won't take him much, so he decided to start the call. He got into his phone and searched for the Reitzmic Prime Minister phone number. Once he got it, he pressed "Call". The phone started to sound like it always does on a call, and Juncker, at the moment Acting Internal Affairs Commissioner, was waiting for an answer...
-
Simon was just in Mennrimiak for a Summit when he heard his phone rang. He asked the PM of Mennrimiak if he could leave the conversation and answer the for a while. When he checked, it was Jean-Claude. He was wondering why he called so he answered the phone.
"Hello Mr. Juncker, why did you call?"
-
Juncker smiled as the Reitzmic Prime Minister answered. Despite Simon and him not having the best relationship, he always wanted to get along with everyone, incluiding Prime Ministers all around Europe. He answered:
"Hi Simon, I hope you are doing fine. I'm calling because I would like to talk with you about the conflict you have with Spain and to try find a way to solve it. Are you free to speak now?"
-
"Oh, Mr. Juncker maybe we can talk later. I'm currently in a meeting with the Mennrimian PM."
The call ended and Simon continued the discussion with the Mennrimian PM. After the discussion, Simon stayed for a while in a hotel and then contacted Mr. Juncker. He waited for the OIC IAC to answer.
-
Juncker saw the call again and picked the phone up:
"Hello Simon. I guess by this call you are free right now" Juncker laughed a bit.
-
"Ah, yes of course Mr. Juncker. Now, what do you want to discuss?"
-
"So I've been following the conflict between the Kingdom of Reitzmag and the Kingdom of Spain with interest. As I said in the European Heads of Government and State meeting on the 6th July, I wanted to mediate between both sides. Recently I called the Spanish President, Mr. Jesús Aguilar and he agreed with me that a mediation was needed between both sides. I would like to ask you if you also would like a mediation between both sides."
-
"I'd be open to a mediation Mr. Juncker. And I'll confirm that on behalf of our government."
-
"That are great news Simon. So, I would like to suggest that you call Mr. Aguilar tomorrow if that's fine. Once you talk, you'll both come to Europolis. I won't interfere but I'll be on the meeting room in order to avoid that you both kill yourselves on the room if things would go wrong. Is that ok?"
-
"For now I'll consider that Mr. Juncker. I will have to think about it first."
-
"Ok, I understand. But I hope you follow my advices and we can get into a mediation. Have a nice day Simon!" Juncker said and the call ended. He then got out of the office heading to the European Council.
