Romari Susi is a dirty old wolf, the emperor of a mighty nation, and the joint-CEO of a massive worldwide corporation; he's well respected, and is closeted from the rest of the world, though it's a poorly kept secret at best. He shares his bed with his straight-laced secretary, co-CEO, and mate Neal, who is a flying fox (AKA, a fruit bat). Luckily for their domestic tranquility, Neal is rather open to his mate's wide-ranging romantic exploits.

Occasionally joining them in their adventures is the captain of their imperial guard, a raccoon named Taxas.

POKER FACES

************************************************************************

Idiot Dignitary:"...and then the Grand Master says to his disciple, 'That's what she said!'"

Imperial Sovereign Romari: *Strained groan* "Excuse me. My apologies, Minister Alphonse. I found myself a bit distracted for a moment. Muscle spasms, you know. Do go on."

Imperial Assistant Neal: *Climbs out from under the table, wiping off his muzzle with a silent belch, and with an oddly distended gut.* "I found your...fork, sir."

Romari:"Thank you, Neal. Remind me to personally reward you for your diligence later. Minister Alphonse, I don't believe you have met Neal, my very exclusive and private secretary."

Dignitary: "What? We have been eating for nearly an hour! Why were you under the table for that long?"

Neal: *Sloshes a bit as he bows* "I was looking for the emperor's fork, sir, as I believe I mentioned."

Dignitary: "An hour for a fork?!"

Neal: *Donning his wire-frame glasses* "I am afraid I'm a bit near-sighted sir, and I didn't wear my spectacles for fear of jostling and breaking them. I practically had to shove my nose between his legs to find his fork, down on the floor as I was, and that was the very last place I looked. It's his lucky fork you see, and it has great practical and sentimental value to the emperor. He needs it for *ahem* masticating at the imperial balls and for certain private functions; I couldn't just leave it untended."

Romari:"Yes, Neal is quite good at fu--, err, forking. Very thorough. I believe he deserves a raise -- a rather nicely engorged bonus -- once we have some private time to discuss such things. Would you care to join us for the remainder of the meal, Secretary? I believe we're just now reaching the final course for the evening: a large spotted dick filled with creamed cumquat."

Neal:"Thank you, Your Imperial Highness, but no. I've had my fill of dick for the moment, as I devoured a rather tasty one just before I came, and I'm quite stuffed. If you'll recall, I'm hosting our twenty-four-man poker tournament tonight in my hindquarters -- you know, my private apartments at the rear of the estate? -- so if it's all the same to you, sir, I shall go prepare them for our late-night poker-_related festivities. If you like, we may engage in an in-depth _tête-à-tête regarding that nicely engorged bonus you spoke of, before the other participants arrive."

Romari: *Raises eyebrow at Neal's masterful innuendo* "Very well, Neal. You may go."

Dignitary:"You're a poker man? I'm a dab hand at it myself. Is there room for an extra?"

Romari: *Mutters* "Less poke HER and more poke HIM, Minister."

Dignitary:"Pardon? What was that?"

Romari:"Nothing. Sorry, all our holes will be filled."
