It was near dusk and the snow was coming down harder than previously. They sat in a large windowed room near the Kremlin. The building itself was difficult to identify from the inside as they were ushered into it from an entirely different entrance. In actuality they were inside the Duma, but none of them knew that for the time being. In front of the them were notepads, pens and two rather clear beverages in rather tall glasses. One was water while the other was a vodka martini. Nobody really knew what the beverage was just looking at it, but it was asked that alcohol be included for the guests.
In the corner cookies and fresh coffee and tea had been made, but nobody really expected the guests to get up and get it. If anything they'd probably be consumed by the Tsarina's daughters after the meeting.
As the guests all took their seats the Tsarina herself walked in with her oldest daughter. Taking her seat as her daughter poured a cup of coffee for herself and some tea for her mother. The Tsarina began to speak to all the assembled guests, "I thank you for coming here to my home and the home of my assembled people. You sit in the Duma, where the elected bodies of my Tsardom gather. Today it is my understanding we have decided to come together as one so to speak. So without further delay I urge you all to please speak your minds. I open the floor to discussion."
