  • Phile: Hello? This thing still work? Good!
  • Phile: I talk to you again cos I want to hold feast, but... what did you say he called? *mumbles away from mic* Oh yes. Nikomedes. Nasty loud Greek man. He spread rumours that I killed Aki! He wont stop chasing me.
  • Phile: So I hold feast at different time! Stupid Greek man too busy listening to own voice to hear me! Feast will have time made by good friends of mine, listen for time! I not know how or where they say, but I trust them to make people know.
  • Phile: But for feast we need things. I told you use herbs to smoke yes? Seems waste, but you are different to me. So I help by bringing herbs to smoke, but need more than smoking for party. I make store place at charriot, am told people will find if I say *looks at note* '-1665, 6327, HG'. That not mean much to me, maybe to you

Wake Announcement on E! 8/7/09

  • Phile: I comed to Egypt with my husband Akkai to continue trading goods. My Akkai is dead now, murdered by the Greek man Nikomedes! **Phile's voice starts to shake as her emotions take control for a few moments. Still Phile forces herself to continue**
  • Phile: I was told that you Egypt's people hold festivals to honour memories and have given my blessing to hold a big party to honour Akkai my beloved.
  • Phile: Big party needs big items! Bring herbs to smoke and be merry. Bring wines to drink and fall over happy. Bring works of light and be overjoyed. Come celebrate the life of my Akkai, for he will be remembered!

  • Phile: [OOC: Phile's Concern: The Feast 24 or 25 July (depends on GMT)]


Orrin Accuses Nikomedes on Events 18/7/09

  • Orrin: Nikomedes! Murderer!
  • Orrin: You come swaggering out to tell us the results of your little game, whilst I spend the day with Phile, constructing the tomb for her dead husband, murdered by you!
  • Nikomedes: Perhaps rather than spend your time casting aspersions at my head, you should consider than the most likely killer is a member of his own family, perhaps even his wife
  • Orrin: You would not *dare* mention such accusations were you not protected by our un-ordained pharoah!
  • Nikomedes: Not true, I speak the truth, I always have. What better cover than that of the greiving widow.
  • Nikomedes: I am not the one who has been seen in the company of Caananites in the market not less than a week after the demise of my spouse
  • Orrin: His advisor is accused of murder, the evidence against him is damning, and yet he sits there and twiddles his thumbs playing games?!
  • Nikomedes: Evidence? What evidence? The accusations of mad woman. Even in the courts of Persia this does not constitute evidence. Only the shrill rantings of you accuse me. If that is your daming evidence, I accused you are being a thief
  • Orrin: We shall see, Nikomedes, we shall see. Let us not forget the deceased. A wake shall be held on the next Sunday of this month, to celebrate and commemorate the life of Akaios. Let it be a day of peace between all, for Akakios is the one true victim here.


Phile Accuses Nikomedes on E! 19/7/09

  • Phile: Coward Nikomedes wont talk to me
  • Phile: He runs with guilt
  • Phile: He said I killed Akki! My Akki!
  • Phile: Then accused me of meeting Caananites. Why would he know?
  • Phile: Why is he so scared he follows me?
  • Phile: He hides behind Sami, the one you call Pharoah. He's not even the real Pharoah
  • Phile: All he told you is the he is Wahim's brother from Greece
  • Phile: And then this... murderer come here and say 'Sami is your Pharoah' and you all just believe him?
  • Toldy: either way one of the sons will be Pharoah. Afarid of ol sami, Phile?
  • Phile: Sami is just a... how you call them here? Playboy? He like playing games and not ruling
  • Voyna: nobody pays attention to him anyway
  • Phile: Afraid?! I am not afraid! He is so fat and lazy he can't run Egypt
  • Toldy: ah but Wahim is no better
  • Phile: Do you Egyptian not see? Nikomedes is running here
  • kokabeel: Maybe we need a little fun and excitement? It takes Wahim months to do anything for us.
  • Phile: He commit murder and Sami doesn't even ask?
  • Phile: YOU CALL MURDERING MY AKKI FUN AND EXCITEMENT!
  • Toldy: besides other then the proof of ur late husband... what else do you have that says Niko is infact the killer?
  • Voyna: no one is running .....they are all too busy schemming
  • Phile: You are one of Sami whores. GO back to his bedroom and cuddle him!
  • Phile: Look at the grave Toldy. His name is on the grave of my Akki
  • Toldy: o.O seems some1 has a temper perhaps u blacked out and killed ur own hubby :P
  • delilah: cuddle?
  • kokabeel: hey whoa whoa whoa there!
  • Casino: bring "theStranger" back
  • murtha: hmm phile, if you want support, calm and reason will win
  • Phile: And now Toldy accuses me! What are you all? You turn into the sheep?
  • murtha: calling the people you need to win over names certainly is not the way
  • Phile: Then murtha, why does no-one help? These people of power
  • Phile: you elect them, and they do nothing!
  • Toldy: just shows that u have a "short" fuse
  • kokabeel: Don't vent your frustrations out on us. Acting ... how can I put this in not so mean terms, rude, whiney, and obnoxious is not going to help anyone believe you, or even care what you have to say for that matter.
  • Voyna: indeed, you make enimies that way, not riends that would help you
  • Phile: My husband is dead! You then say that is fun and games and accuse me of doing it!
  • murtha: sometimes phile, just waiting until someone hangs themselves is the only way to deal with folks in power. We DO have to live here
  • Phile: Nikomedes is not protected by any law other than Sami
  • Phile: Do egyptians just love murderers?
  • Toldy: who's to say its SAMI that is protecting thim... Perhaps it is Wahim...
  • kokabeel: I didn't say his death was fun and games. You're blinded by your hate to see what people are saying. Maybe you should take leave, and calm down before what you say is ignored by all.
  • Phile: I... I am sorry kokabeel. I let my grief cloud me
  • Phile: I will find you a flower to say my sorry
  • murtha: it is hard to lose a husband but maybe he death will end up being the greater good
  • Phile: I have so few friend here, this land is not mine, Nikomedes hunts me all days
  • Phile: and then I have person telling me I killed my Akki
  • Phile: I not know where to turn. One person helps out of all
  • Phile: the rest watch or jeer
  • kokabeel: I don't want your flowers. The only thing I would want from you is to be calm, and wait. If it is as you say, the truth will come out. But you can't expect us all to be on the side of Wahim when he is no different than Sami.
  • Phile: Wahim? I never met this Wahim
  • Phile: he's brother of Sami. But where is he? No-one know
  • Toldy: always 2 sides to every story ;)
  • kokabeel: Now that makes me laugh. You speak with such hate against Sami, yet you know not of his brother?
  • Phile: His brother does not help murderer
  • Zeus: Phile, have you ever asked yourself why Nikomedes REALLY follows you?
  • Sariel: Zeus - as u are obviously greek - like Nikomedes..u're opinions are always suspect my friend....
  • kokabeel: You see red, but do you know if what you feel is true? Maybe there's more to the story than you, or I know.
  • Phile: You would have be sit and do nothing for my Akki?
  • Nikomedes: Whilst normally decorum would say I should not respond to such blatant baiting, I feel I must comment. You all see now the maelstorm of hate a bile that is hurled my way by this woman Phile. Her sole basis of the accusation that I am responsible for the death of her husband is someone passed ownership of his tomb to me. Who did this I do not know. While I understand and empathize with her loss, she is irrational.
  • Phile: You say someone pass this to you? I say you lie and tell you to prove it
  • kokabeel: Why should I or anyone else do anyone else do anything about it? All you give us to prove his death is something that could be a simple misunderstanding. Seek out the truth before you tarnish someone's name.Otherwise it will be your own, and that of your departed husbands, that is tarnished.
  • Phile: I say why were you there? I heard you voice with my Akki
  • murtha: irregardless of who killed whom, Egypt is languishing under the care of present powers that be. we are losing out best our brightest citizens. And this will not help
  • Toldy: all u have to go on is a VOICE?
  • Phile: Toldy think there are many greek here?
  • Toldy: thats yet to be seen , Phile
  • Phile: I hear Greek person talk to my Akki with same voice as Nikomedes. I know my husband know Nikomedes in Greek. Nikomedes name is on the grave of MY AKKI!
  • Phile: And he comes here with honey and lies and you lap it up
  • Nikomedes: You know very well Phile that I did not build the tomb, but am only its current owner. Since ownership can be passed to anyone, this is meaningless. We only have your owrd against mine. Perhaps I am not the most beloved, but have I ever lied to Egypt? Rather than you who has made repeated, wild accusations against anyone and everyone who doesn't agree with you
  • murtha: i could carve toldy's name on akki's grave. would that make him a murderer?
  • Zeus: Maybe Sami/Wahim wrote it! How do you know it was Nikomedes to write his name on the grave? That is stupid! Just like leaving a photo of you at the scene of crime...
  • kokabeel: You heard a greek person speak, but , that does not mean Nikomedes is the killer. The burden of proof lies on you, Phile. And no amount of hatred is going to prove who killed your husband.
  • Orrin: [OOC: The only reason that tomb is in my name is cos Niko couldnt be bothered to make it himself and we needed to run the event]
  • Mortality: However there is a murderer in our midst, leave the widow alone and find him or her...
  • Orrin: [OOC: for RP purposes, Niko *did* build the tomb and *is* the owner. It's part of the limits we have as player-run team]
  • Zeus: [OOC: Yes but you gave the thomb to Nikomedes, so that doesn't count!]
  • Toldy: okay so he built it, that doesn't make him a killer.
  • Zeus: [OOC: That means Nikomedes really did borrow Akki's body?]
  • Nikomedes: I must take my leave of this "converstaion", have a good day all
  • Orrin: [OOC: Yes. Nikomedes must have burried Akakios' body]
  • Phile: Liar and cheat Nikomedes. You will not get away from me forever!
  • murtha: i have it. Orrin is the murderer. he knows WAY too much about it
  • Zeus: Wait...is Nikomedes following Phile or Phile following Nikomedes?
  • kokabeel: Why should anyone help such a mad woman? She speaks with such disrespect towards everyone. Calling them whores. If she wants the help, I'm sure people will be there. But to come forth looking for it, or the truth in the manner she is will only sully her efforts.
  • delilah: if Phile had seen him, rather than heard him, would that be proof?
  • Zeus: YES!!! Orrin is the murderer! I agree!
  • Orrin: [OOC: that's cos I wrote the script for the event Murtha :p]
  • delilah: What would you accept as proof, Egypt?
  • Voyna: well what Niko have to gain from the murder? thats always the question, who benifits
  • Karriellyn: Maybe we need CSI:Egypt.
  • Orrin: Voyna has the idea... trying thinking about why either party would want Akki dead. Don't expect a simple truth!

Phile on Events 25/7/09

  • Phile: Silly Niko think he can steal event. Shhh, he not know me here! He hunt me everywhere and I sneak behind him. I let him do work and say score, I much to do. Wake must be plan, but we need help. Orrin say need glasses, seashell stone, drink and many herb. He kind and help, talk him to know more. I run now so not found. Remember my Akki.
  • Nikomedes: It is sad to see a young mind driven to madness and delusion by the terrible burden of grief. I do naught but learn of the lands of Egypt, it wondrous people and culture. Yet this woman has fixated on my person, for what reason I do not know. Perhaps because she hears a familiar tongue and it reminds her of her home? Or perhaps she is simply mad. Yes, I have felt anger at her for her constant barrage of insults, at her haranguing me with no cause. Now I just feel pity at her obviously broken mind.


Akakios' Wake 26/7/09

BooBoo: Well since no one else is going to say what happened, here is my side of the story. Phile was sobbing about her dead hubby while she was enjoying the feast. I have always thought that Phile had reasons of her own to kill her hubby. So instead of being quiet I accused her of this and threw a grapefruit at her. Phile insinuated that Sami was a child and then all hell broke loose. Phile slapped me and I threw a fish at her feet and said she will be sleeping with the fishes like her hubby for what she has done. After she called me some unmentionable names (although you may chat me and I will be happy to tell you) we got into a knock down drag out fight, then Phile became the drama queen that she is and stormed off into the sunset after calling me a mad woman.

Phile Leaves Egypt 26/7/09

  • Phile: So people of Egypt!
  • Phile: You drive me from the wake of my own husband, my beloved Akki!
  • Phile: Your behaviour is like drunken child! You cry and scream when things not go your way
  • Phile: Mad woman accuses me of insulting her Sami. I not even know Sami married. She need care I think.
  • Phile: I give you the proof of the deed
  • Phile: Nikomedes is criminal in Greece! I put paper for all to see
  • Phile: I challenge all to see it. As for what you do, I leave that to you!
  • Phile: I go into desert and mourn my Akki alone
  • Phile: Do not think I forget you Nikomedes! You will not stay here in peace.
  • Phile: I say goodbye Egypt. I leave Nikomedes to you to do what you want. For now.
