Announcement/Meet and Greet

Check into our RMB and LinkDiscord to say hello! All nations are welcome to come and introduce themselves, and enjoy the fun. If you need a conversation starter, we'd love to know your favourite song/song genre

Role-Play: Crazy Concert

The leaders of Laraniem's nations gather for a grand concert, "The Concert to End All Concerts". Many international megastars are playing at this concert, including Ed Sheering, Three Direction, Big Nas Z and Saint Hotel.

All goes well. The crowd enjoys it, especially the leaders, a few of which are even spotted dancing on top of tables.

The night lives on, but at last, the best bit of the concert arrives. World #1 rock band, The Bugs show themselves on stage, and the crowd goes wild as they begin to play. Everyone is having a good time.

...everyone was having a good time. The leader of Vae Cloaca storms his way onto stage.

"You think this is good music," he exclaims, "wait until you hear me!"

Aggressively grabbing the microphone from The Bugs, he begins to 'sing'. Long story short, you'd rather listen to a baby crying.

What does YOUR nation's leader/character do? Do they join him? Do they leave? Do they call security? Let us know on the RMB!

MovieFest

The party lives on, with Day 3 of LaraFest bringing us MovieFest!
