Rules of Order at the High Table

[Rageproject]

Location: Continental Hotel, New York, New York

—————

“We convene this meeting of the Council to decide on the appointment of the Marquis de Anice to the High Table.”

The words of the Adjudicator are spoken standing before the gathering of leaders and representatives sitting at the High Table. He stands to the right of an older, more distinguished figure sitting at the very head of the table flipping a silver coin between his fingers.

The Elder nods to the Adjudicator, signaling him to continue.

“Will all those in favor of the appointment of the gentleman to Marquis raise their right hand at this time?” instructs the Adjudicator.

He scans the large table and several figures seated begin to react to his inquiry. Hands raise one by one. 

“And will all those opposed to the appointment now raise their right hand at this time?”

Those hands which were previously raised are lowered. Heads turn from side to side as each member of the table seems curious who will oppose the appointment.

Not a single hand is raised. 

“Thank you,” speaks the Adjudicator as he then turns to the Elder and addresses him.

“Do you wish to make your decision at this time?”

The Elder pushes back his chair from the table and places the coin he was holding onto the table.  He stands up and looks at the Adjudicator. All members of the Council also rise from their seats, in a sign of respect for their leader.

Then, the Elder shifts his eyes back to the coin. He puts his right index finger on the coin and slides it along the table top.

The coin stops directly in front of the Adjudicator.

“Give this to the Marquis and notify the nobles of their new assignment.”

With those words, the Elder turns to the ten other figures sitting on both sides of the large meeting table. They stand in respect for the Elder as he says nothing more and walks towards a set of double doors. The doors open out and the Elder disappears from view as he proceeds through.

“Rules,” says the Adjudicator as he picks up the coin. 

Into the room from the same doors the Elder exited comes another well-dressed man. The Adjudicator and Council watch as he approaches the table. The Adjudicator outstretches his hand and hands the coin to the man and finishes speaking to the group. 

“Without them, we live with the animals.”
