Addie stood after her curtsy and waited for them to speak to the group. Marcel bowed deeply, holding his position respectfully, before standing as well. "How long do you think this will take?" Marc whispered to Addie.

Sure! I'll be the queen)
"Welcome chosen adventures!" Said the queen in a loud but welcoming voice. She was excited to meet these strange people in real life. "Please, sit down. Let us talk about your journey plan!"
Jaquline sat down without hesitation. Hopefully this will be as exciting as it sounded. Just think, an adventure across the globe. New places, new people, new...everything!

[[ Cool ]]
The Princess sat down and looked out over the group of chosen individuals. It was rumored that these people were strange and had powers, but it was probably something that she would never see. However, she was honored to be included in this conversation.
Addie took a seat and looked around, seeing that many others had as well. The enthusiasm that the queen was expressing radiated. Maybe this was going to be fun and adventurous. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as she felt like it would be.

"Your journey will be one that few have ever been on before. You will circumnavigate the globe and visit countries many have not seen before. We have picked you as you are like few individuals anyone has ever seen before. Because you have these powers, your journey for your country is actually now within reach. England can achieve its goal of claiming territory from all over the world. What's in it for you you may ask? Whatever you desire. We have already gathered a crew together to help with navigation and such, and you will be on course for the northern reaches of French Canada. Questions? I'm sure you have them!"
Jaquline wasn't sure what to say. The queen made it seem like it was nothing but in reality it was everything. People could be killed, the ship could go off course, there were just so many factors that could affect their trip.

Rich had sat down and listened to the explanation, not missing a word. He never realised he of all people would be chosen for such an important and exciting mission. They get to explore the last places in the world! The problem for him was, for the reward, he didn't know what he wanted, he was happy the way he was. "Actually, yes. Why us? I mean, I know why, but why not use actual explorers who are used to this sort of stuff?" He asked, was it cause these places are more dangerous or something?

The queen turned to Richard, "Explorers have died on their trips. Many of them to be exact, they would go to one place and never again be seen. That is why we thought that using the people with powers would make this trip, safer. Our mathematicians have reported that you were 42 percent more likely to survive this trip because of your powers. Does that make sense Richard?"

Kier burst through the door, face flushed. He knew he was late, he knew that was unacceptable, but better late than never, right? The fifteen year old took a deep breath upon noticing others already gathered. As far as he could tell, they were in the middle of an explanation, something that would have been very useful had he arrived on time. "Sorry," he murmured breathlessly once he was in earshot, then sheepishly found a place to stand to hear whatever was left of the explanation. This was certainly a wonderful first impression, wasn't it?

Jaquline felt bad for the boy when he came in. How embarrassing to be late! But she acted the same when she asked a question to the queen, "How did you find out about our powers? Were you...watching us?" She hoped not. She didn't want to hear that she was being stalked her whole life once word reached the palace that she had powers. She shivered at the thought.
The queen turned to the late newcomer and gave a small smile. She would have snapped at him but there was no point in doing so if she wanted them to go on the expedition. If she came off as rude, who would want to conquer land for her and the country she ruled over? "I see you decided to come Kier. One of the others shall explain to you what's going on later." She turned back to Jaquline. "No, we didn't watch you. The royals are in charge of keeping track of the citizens of a country. So, like all the others, you were brought to us a day after birth. We marked your name down as a citizen but sometimes our royal advisors sense something within you that isn't like other people. Then we send a guard to your family when you get older and you display your powers to them."

(Sorry, I didn't see you replied Strider!) "But, anyway. You must know which countries you are going to." She clapped her hands together and a little butler came scurrying out with a tray. The queen delicately took the paper off of the tray and the butler scampered off. She unfolded the paper, "This will be your list of countries you are to visit in order." She gave the list to Marcel.

(Here.)
Rich nodded when the Queen answered his and Jaquline's questions, and he relaxed back slightly. He then smiled at Kier when he entered, obviously embarrassed. When he looked back a the queen he saw that she was angry, but she did hide it pretty well. He was even nearly surprised at how calm she sounded when he spoke. He sat up and leaned over when the queen gave the list of countries to Marcel.

Jaquline looked at their first country they were to go to: Canada. She looked up at the queen, "isn't Canada inhabited by the French?"
The queen replied,"Not exactly. The French want Canada and they do have colonies there but we need to be quick and get what we can."
Jaquline nodded but couldn't help but feel overwhelmed at how large the list was. Most of these countries she has never even heard of; *What' Australia?* she thought to herself.
The queen stood up, "Tomorrow you should have your things packed head to docks. There you will find a ship named after me and a crew already given to you. Have I made myself clear in all of this?"

(I couldn't help but laugh when I read 'What's Australia'!XD Also, is this in the present day?)
Rich nodded to the Queen. "Clear as day." He said with a smile, looking around. He then looked back at the list, and was slightly puzzled to see Australia there, cause he didn't think there was anything left to explore. But he didn't want to say anything about it yet.

(No, its 1703 lol)
"Now, I'm sure you adventurers want to get to know each other and tell your families and such. So, I will let you go." The queen stood up and so did the rest of the family.
*Wow...a journey across the world. How fascinating.* Jaquline would have looked at the list a little longer but knew that she had many things to do. She had to pack, tell her family, get books about charting to read on the trip. Jaquline wanted to jump up and down like a young child in happiness but decided against it. "This will be magnificent! Who else can say they circumnavigated the globe?"

[[ Okay. Home. Catching up! ]]
Adelaide and Marcel sat quietly when the queen spoke as did the Princess. Little did the other individuals know, the Princess was also someone with super powers, but she sat quietly, already knowing what the plan was for these individuals.
Marcel looked at the list that was handed to him and let the others crowd around him to take a look at the paper. He nodded, some of the countries confused him, but he kept the thoughts to himself. He nodded when the Queen finished and dismissed them to the pack and be with their families for the last time. "What will Mom and Dad say?" he muttered, knowing that Addie could hear him. Adelaide sighed and shook her head. "They're going to lose both of us all at once," she said quietly in response. "Let's just get home and have our final family dinner. Then you need to study the charts because you're going to be our most consistent knowledgeable person," she mused. Adelaide looked over at Jaquline and smiled. "Not too many people," she answered. "At least not that many our age."

"It may be a good thing that there aren't too many people. Less things could go wrong." Jaquline but her lip, "Have any of you ever had family memebers that went across the sea?" She wanted to know what it was like before she went on a ship for who knows how long. What if they don't come back? Did the queen lie, knowing this journey would take years to complete? No one except the royal family knows, and maybe they meant to keep it that way. Jaquline shook her head to clear her thoughts. This journey could be what she has been waiting for her whole life. New friends, new places, new...everything!

"By that same logic, a lot of things could go wrong and we wouldn't have enough hands to fix it," Adelaide answered, shaking her head at the next question, although it was Marcel who spoke. "No, we haven't had anyone in our family travel," he answered. "And I would remember if we did," he finished, poking fun at his own power. Addie looked at Marcel who shrugged. They were just going to have to deal with it. And the two homebodies were going to have to learn to get along with everyone, especially the problem for dear Marcel. "Well, let's all go home and we will meet at the port tomorrow morning," Adelaide said, addressing the group of individuals.

Pocky : Aine : 18 : Female : Controls Water : Aine stands at 5’4 with long brown hair kept in an intricate bun on the back of her head and soft green eyes. Her skin is fair as she doesn’t like being in the sun too long and a spray of freckles cover her face. She will switch between wearing a tunic or blouse with pants and wearing a dress but she will always wear a grey scarf her mother gave her for her trip. Aine is cautious and calculating. She will try to think of all the possibilities before acting even if it takes time. : Aine moved from Ireland to England when she turned ten and her family settled in Canterbury. She spent her childhood on a farm so she is good with animals. : Journey
