I. Participants

• Odette Atheria: Head of Caste (Stepping down).

II. Key Announcements & Decisions

1. HoC Resignation and Election:

   • Announcement: Odette Atheria formally announced she will be stepping down as Head of Caste in five days (on Saturday). She served in the role since before the city was renovated.

   • Election Process: She distributed the Caste Head Election Process Proposal (Proposed by Muse Steele) for review. Key points:

     • Election is called by the Ubar or his designate.

     • Candidates have 7 days to declare intent to run.

     • 1 week allotted for campaigning, including a debate event.

     • A silent poll will be conducted over 3 days involving applicable caste members and all other HoCs.

     • The Ubar will cast the tie-breaking vote.

     • Eligibility requires being a member in good standing (sworn to the Home Stone or pledged allegiance, and active in caste duties).

   • Next Step: The Caste will need to elect a new leader.

2. Archivist Report & Conduct:

   • Report Summary: Velniar Esharham (Archivist) reported that he is meticulously reviewing existing records and is disappointed that some scribes are negligent in submitting proper paperwork. He stated that documents left in the mailbox without correct date/form will not be filed and were left to be fixed by the sender.

   • Action/Clarification: Odette apologized for not checking her mailbox but commended Velniar's "impeccable eye" and attention to detail. Velniar affirmed that a scribe should not make errors and that he is an "excellent asset."

3. Ambassador Report (Abraham Jacobson):

   • Abraham reported that he has successfully contacted seven cities (Olni, Selnar, Turmus, and four others) regarding an alliance and that all have expressed interest.

   • Next Step: He will begin formal negotiations this week, awaiting the HoC election results before proceeding further. He stated that he "enjoys every position."

III. Velniar's Proposal for Non-Resident Registration (Technical Deep Dive)

• Proposal: Velniar raised the issue of accepting and formally registering caste documents and registrations from non-residents/non-citizens (like those from the Cove), arguing that these documents are tokens of identity and claim that should be recorded, even if they don't grant full citizen rights.

• Velniar's Process: He meticulously outlined a detailed process for non-resident registration, including:

  • Inspection: Accept in person only, inspect seal/signatory against exemplars.

  • Verification: Cross-check against extant records; open provisional files for unknowns.

  • Declaration: Require a short declaration of intent (recognition, trade rights, etc.) to record their obligations.

  • Legal Caveats: Explicitly annotate that registration does not equal domicile; jurisdictional limitations must be noted plainly beside their name.

• Council Reaction: Odette gently pushed back, asking Velniar to draft a simpler proposal that could be approved by the Ubar, and advised him to use "plainer language." Abraham concurred that the Ubar's approval would be needed.

IV. To-Dos and Next Steps

• Odette Atheria (Outgoing HoC): Attend to the bell (rang by Valantin). (Final task before stepping down).

• Velniar Esharham (Archivist): Draft a simpler proposal for the non-resident registration process for the Ubar's approval.

• Abraham Jacobson (Ambassador): Begin formal alliance negotiations with the seven interested cities this week.

• Kati Evans (Ubarate Counsel/Magistrate): Continue taking notes. 

• All Scribes: Review the HoC Election Process Proposal (Proposed 9/29) distributed by Odette.

==========================================================

[11:57] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): huffs and puffs

[11:59] Odette Atheria chuckles "That is quite a walk, Sir.  It is a good thing we are all in shape."

[12:00] Odette Atheria: "Lady Kati, please, would you take simple notes and include who is in attendance and who is not?"

[12:01] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): ty

[12:01] Kati Evans: I will take notes.

[12:02] Odette Atheria: "Thank you.  I will begin by thanking you both for your presence.  I will share our current roster with you, if I may."

[12:02] Second Life: Odette Atheria gave you Teletus Scribe Caste Roster (9/22/25).

[12:03] Velniar Esharham entered chat range (18.87 m).

[12:04] Odette Atheria: "You can see that we are woefully short of Magistrates and working general scribes.  "I did not include the retired scribe who is living in the city, perhaps I should have.  Welcome Velniar.  I was passing around our current roster."

[12:05] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): No he us just that

[12:05] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): We will not see him

[12:05] Velniar Esharham  Walks in and  wonders over to a seat " excuse my tardiness  I couldn't button my last button on my neck , but got it now. greetings to all"

[12:06] Odette Atheria: "Ambassador, will you tell us, if you can, what you have been up to, other than the summit, the last few weeks?"

[12:09] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): I has asked to wait until the Hoc votes but I have spoken to the cites of Onli , selnar, Turmus, and four others and all expressed interest. This week i begin the getting back with each of them and and begin Negotiations

[12:11] Odette Atheria: 'That is an excellent achievement for just three weeks after opening the City.  You are working very hard, I know, if you managed that as well as getting the rag ends of the Summit together.  Very Commendable"

[12:11] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): end

[12:12] Odette Atheria: "Are you enjoying being an Ambassador, Sir?"

[12:13] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): I enjoy every position.

[12:14] Odette Atheria: "A very diplomatic answer, Sir.  Thank you.  Lady Kati, can you tell me what has occupied your time the last few weeks?"

[12:17] Kati Evans: A lot have been helping Lady Muse.  The distribution system, citizen list that you were a bit help with, discussed various thing with Lady Muse.  Running errands.

[12:18] Odette Atheria: "And you Magistrate work?  I do know there were a couple of letters in the mailbox"

[12:19] Kati Evans: That has been going fine.

[12:20] Avery Bade (freyadragonborn) is online.

[12:21] Odette Atheria: "I am disappointed that there have been no trials yet, but I would deduce from the evidence that no serious crimes were perpetrated.  Velniar, our Archivist, our record Keeper.  How have you been faring?"

[12:23] Velniar Esharham he nods  and spoke " The records lay before me, each line examined with deliberate care. The figures aligned, the names matched, the seals were true. Where clarity existed, I marked it complete; where the trail of ink faltered, I noted the absence, already calculating who the parties were, and how best to restore their entries to order. Correction, after all, is not indulgence, but duty.

The only documents yet untouched remain in the mailbox of their negligent sender — unprocessed, for they bear neither proper date nor correct form. They will not be filed until they meet the standard. To do otherwise is to invite chaos into the archive, and chaos has no place beneath my hand. In time, all errors will be rectified, all records aligned, and each parchment returned to its rightful place, as law and order demand.. Not all within our caste find it to be of care however. but its not my place  to say so and already done as  the lady You Odeete and put the paperwork  back to be fixed yet its been a week if

[12:23] Velniar Esharham:  not a hand and they remain in the mailbox. "

[12:24] zCS # [Mod] Kati Evans switched from [RP] to [Away].

[12:26] Odette Atheria: "I must apologize for that.  I did not check my mailbox this morning.  But you bring up an important point.   Attention to detail is so very important and it is not for the record keeper to fill in forms.  To correct minor, yes, but Scribes themselves should not be making erros.  it is understandable if our residents do such, for they are not as learned and careful as we are."

[12:26] Jon Julius Ƭɛɼɼợɼ (fresh.peppermint) is offline.

[12:26] Odette Atheria: "Velniar has an impeccable eye and a great attention to detail.  He is an excellent asset to the Caste."

[12:27] zCS # [Mod] Kati Evans switched from [Away] to [RP].

[12:27] Odette Atheria: Does anyone have any questions, or something that should be brought to my attention?"

[12:28] Velniar Esharham: @ raising his hand

[12:29] Odette Atheria: "Speak, Velniar"

[12:31] Velniar Esharham: Yes — seals and caste registrations from the Cove may be received and recorded; they are, in truth, tokens of identity and claim, and as such belong in the archive. They do not, by mere presence upon parchment, render a non-resident subject to our city’s laws; law is enforced by jurisdiction, not by signature alone. Yet registration confers recognition and certain practical privileges: trading permissions, safe-pass assurances, and a formal place in our rolls that can be called upon in diplomacy or dispute.

If you would have this done correctly, the process must be precise:

Receipt and Inspection. Accept the document only in person or by an accredited courier. Inspect the seal and signatory for authenticity — compare impressions and witness marks against our exemplars. Note any irregularity immediately.

Verification. Cross-check names, castes, and claims against extant records. If a person is unknown, open a provisional file and list the sources to be pursued. Any missing elements (date, witness,

[12:31] Velniar Esharham:  clear seal) halt filing.

Oath or Declaration. For non-residents wishing formal registration, require a short declaration of intent: whether they seek mere recognition, trading rights, or obligations. Record the declaration verbatim and have it witnessed; without it, the registration remains clerical, not contractual.

Limitations Noted. Explicitly annotate that registration does not equal domicile: jurisdictional clauses, privileges, and obligations are to be entered as marginalia. If they will not submit to our laws, this must be stated plainly beside their name.

Issuance of Receipt. Provide a numbered receipt and a copy of the recorded entry to the registrant. Retain the original in the ledger, cross-referenced to any supporting documents.

Notification & Filing. Notify the appropriate magistrates or trade councils only when requested or when a registration affects civic duties. File the parchment under its proper heading; non-resident registrants occupy a distinct series so they do not pollute

[12:31] Velniar Esharham:  domiciliary rolls.

Timely Rectification. Should any error be discovered, summon the registrant (or their accredited representative) to correct and re-date the document. No entry is final until the record bears a correct date and witness; anything left at a careless mailbox remains unprocessed.

In short: receive and register, yes — but with margin notes and legal caveats. Recognition is a tool; it must be wielded with precision. If you wish, I will draft the exact wording for the declaration and the marginal jurisdiction clause to be used at the moment of registration.

[12:33] Velniar Esharham " are we accepting such"

[12:33] Odette Atheria smiles under her veil and leans forward "Velniar, I do not think we need to redraft any of the forms.  And perhaps if you were to speak directly to someone with plainer language, it would be easier for that person to understand."

[12:34] Odette Atheria: "Are there any more questions?"

[12:37] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): I understand what he is asking, but Velnair since it will most likely needs the Ubar's approval can you draft a simpler proposal for him

[12:38] Odette Atheria: I believe I rewrote the Pledge with with officiant rather than witnesses.  Please check the filing cabinet of blank forms

[12:39] Odette Atheria takes a deep breath and begins.  "I was appointed by the Ubar to Head this venerable caste long before the City was renovated.  I have served my purpose: drafted documents, furnished the hall and Library, hired scribes and set up some initial procedures. I therefore announce that I will be stepping down as Head of Scribes in 5 days.  On Saturday as the barbarians from earth call that day"

[12:43] Odette Atheria: "The Caste will need to elect someone to lead you. I have a copy of the conditions that Lady Muse would like to be followed for all elections.  They are proposed, but tomorrow she will broadcast the finished rules.  I doubt they will be different"  she hands them each a scroll

=================================

[12:44] Second Life: Odette Atheria gave you Caste Head Elections - proposed 9/29.

Caste Head Election process Proposal:

An Election is called for by the Ubar or his designate.

Any member if the caste may state their intent to run.  Candidates will have 7 days from the announcement of the impending election to put their name in.

After campaign week has ended there will be a silent poll conducted over 3 days.  All members of the applicable caste plus all other HoC will have a vote.  The ubar will cast the tie breaking vote if there is a tie. Otherwise he will not vote.

Proposed by Muse Steele 9/29/25

====================================

[12:45] Odette Atheria: Last Thursday when I spoke with the Ubara, I told her I would be stepping down in a week, so she will not be surprised at this short notice."

[12:45] Kool Sim bell (wall):   ▶   Valantin (vincenzio)

♫ ◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡ ♪

SCRIBE: Scribe needed at the Scribe's Hall

♫ ◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡◠◡ ♪

[12:45] Valantin (vincenzio) entered chat range (19.48 m).

[12:46] Velniar Esharham Nodded to Abraham understanding and all the while, he wrote, smug in the awareness that history itself bent to his ink, that every detail he chose to record would echo beyond lifetimes. Then  looked disappointed though knowing the reason " I will be sad to see you go Lady Odette though a woman you have built a good foundation  as to which we seem to maneuver around with ease. " then to Kati " the Ubar has stated there was to be voting as to those who put they name in the hat.. from there there will be one chosen for the honer  of safeguarding the caste already founded.

[12:47] Valantin (vincenzio) entered chat range (19.94 m).

[12:48] Kati Evans: Heading for the bell.

[12:48] Odette Atheria watches them read.  That none of them seem to be shocked is not surprising to her.  Nothing can be kept in confidence for long "If there is nothing else, I will attend to the bell"

[12:48] Valantin (vincenzio) entered chat range (19.56 m).

[12:49] Odette Atheria: "Are you the one ringin that bell, Sir?"

[12:49] Valantin (vincenzio): he sees the Lady exit the Scribe's hall... "Tal, Lady, Tal sir," he says in greeting

Ke - Teletus 015- Slave Registration

 .

[11:22] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) turned to Kati then, "I need slave registrations drawn up for all the palace slaves, can I leave that with you to mange, Lady?"

[11:22] Velniar Esharham entered chat range (19.51 m).

[11:23] Kati Evans: Of course

[11:23] Rarius Yuroki (yuroki.uriza) entered chat range (19.95 m).

[11:23] Relia Wulfloard (jaime.michalski) entered chat range (19.91 m).

[11:23] Kati Evans: Anything particular you would like included.

[11:23]  - ̗̗̀42 ̖́- (lilimp) is offline.

[11:25] Rarius Yuroki (yuroki.uriza): He remains calmly in the background, observing the scene. He doesn't know these people and is always suspicious; he thinks there might be an ambush, so he decides to wait until someone approaches him or until he gets the information he needs.

[11:26] Muse Steele (muse.triellis): Excellent, thank you, there are 5.  Aza ( azara magic ), Nim ( Lyanna Moonside ), Kiri ( lululyteohnaka ), Aurora ( swtharmony ) and Vint ( Leonkalpa ).  They may actually all need exams done, so if you could also arrange that for me I would appreciate it rather much to be sure"

She turned then, glacing over her shoulder when she felt the prickling sensation of someone standing at her back and studied the man there a moment before lifting a hand in greeting, her attention flicking briefly to the trevian aside her, the expression perhaps indicating the man was unfamiliar.

to the man she said, "Tal, Sir, and welcome to the Isle"

[11:26] Kati Evans: I will

======================================

[13:26] Muse Steele (muse.triellis): (Saved Wed Sep 24 16:26:10 2025)for the slave papers.  Azara was purchased from the kennels in Sulport, Kiri was found unowned here in Teletus, Nim was purchased from a camp of slavers that dealt in slaves from the acquisition ships, Aurora was a bred slave commissioned by Caine from a slave house in Ar and Vint was sentenced to slavery in Tyros for attacking me

KE - Teletus 014 - Census

This log captures a conversation between members of the Scribe Caste in the city of Teletus, focusing on administrative tasks and city planning.

Who:

• Muse Steele: Ubara of Teletus.

• Kati Evans: Ubara's Council and Magistrate.

• Odette Atheria: Scribe.

• Relia Wulfloard: New innkeeper.

• Velniar Esharham: New record keeper.

What:

• Census Request: Muse tasks Kati with conducting a census to determine the availability of members across all castes. The goal is to better schedule events and meetings.

• Record Keeping: Kati asks Odette to direct her to the new record keeper, Velniar Esharham, to get the necessary information for the census.

• Inn and Rentals: Relia, the new innkeeper, discusses the challenges of pricing her services and mentions doing research before finalizing her prices.

• Scheduling: Muse emphasizes the importance of the census for scheduling events and meetings at times when the largest concentrations of people are available.

To-dos:

• Kati Evans: Speak with Odette Atheria to get access to the records for the census. Compile the census information and present it to Muse.

• Odette Atheria: Create an OOC spreadsheet with the availability of caste members, give the URL to Kati Evans, and excuse herself from the meeting to start on the task.

• Relia Wulfloard: Conduct research to determine the pricing for her inn's services.

• Muse Steele: Wait for the census report from Kati, and update the OOC spreadsheet with the URL.

==================================================

[10:46] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) turned then to Kati, saying, "Lady, I want you to speak with Lady Odette, perhaps she can direct you to our new record keeper, and we can get that information together.  I want a census done, that details for every caste, what the availability is of their members.  A simple chart would do I would think?"

[10:48] Kati Evans: Ok, I will see to it.

[10:48] Odette Atheria entered chat range (18.46 m).

[10:49] Relia Wulfloard (jaime.michalski): she nods at Muse "yes, I am working that out.  I know how to price bakery goods and bistro foods but have no idea how to price room rentals and full on meals.  It may take a day or two to figure all that out.  I spoke with the new shipwright and he did give me a bit of feedback on rental prices but I want to do some research."  she looks up and smiles "greetings Lady Odette, so good to see you again."

[10:50] zCS # [Mod] Rahana2 Resident [Combat] logged into the region.

[10:51] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) could not help the grin that appeared when Odette walked up.  "Tal Lady, we were just speaking about you, were your ears burning?"

[10:51] Muse Steele (muse.triellis): (( skip me phone ))

[10:52] zCS # [Mod] Muse Triellis switched from [RP] to [Away].

[10:52] Odette Atheria smiles, her eyes lighting up when she realizes her good friends are all here "Tall, to all of you , my friends.  Relia, is there anything you need?  I was going to have pancakes this morning but was distracted."  And she claps her hands on her ears.  "Oh dear, they are very warm in this weather.  Is ther somethng that is needed that I missed?"

[10:55] Kati Evans: "Lady Odette,  Lady Muse would like me to do a census and said you could direct me to the new record keeper."

[10:56] Odette Atheria: "May I ask which records you need for a census?  We have only a few Citizens and do not keep records of Residents."

[11:00] Relia Wulfloard (jaime.michalski): she smiles "just give me a little notice and I will make sure to whip up some pancakes."

[11:01] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) smiled at Odette's question, gesturing to Jon.  "The most important thing is to figure out when most people are available for certain things.  For example, Jon here would like to get the men who are awake earlier in the day, into the arena to practice.  Its difficult to know who is on what shift as yet among the warriors, but the same holds true for all the castes.  If we can get hold of when the largest concentrations are in the various groups, then things like meetings and events can be planned at times that will be most available"

[11:03] Odette Atheria: "I can prepare that for you, if given a day. "\

KE - Teletus 013 - New Sign

 [04:39] Second Life: Muse Steele (muse.triellis) is online.

[02:14] Muse Steele (muse.triellis): (Saved Tue Sep 23 05:14:11 2025)Sent you a new sign to put around the city for the social night event planned for this coming sunday

[02:14] Muse Steele (muse.triellis): (Saved Tue Sep 23 05:14:29 2025)Please put them round the city as you did for the fishing tournament

[04:39] Second Life: Message from Second Life:

Your object 'Fishing tournament' has been returned to your inventory Lost and Found folder by Muse Triellis from parcel 'Isle of Teletus - Open for RP!' at Isle of Teletus 222, 107 due to parcel owner return.

[04:39] Second Life: 

Telenus 012 - Morning Message

[02:16] Muse Steele (muse.triellis): (Saved Tue Sep 23 05:16:39 2025) For today's message to the city, and also please make sure you spell teletus right, yesterday's message read "telenus" haha;  You will want to first stop and reset the sender so it doesn't keep trying to send the previous message, then for today's message lets go with

[02:18] Muse Steele (muse.triellis): (Saved Tue Sep 23 05:18:10 2025)The storms have again moved far off shore and there is a break in the clouds but the wind is gusting high as it blows in off the thassa.  Word in the streets speaks of an offensive by the Teletian Warriors against the msicreants of the cove.  Injuries were minimal and it is said our men fought valliantly

[05:02] Kati Evans: 47 people received the message yesterday.  I will do the new sign in a little bit after I get breakfast.

Telenus 011 - Who is Whom List

[06:05] Odette Atheria: ((I have a private listing to keep track of information given on the application forms.  I update daily for time zones, availability, and ownership.  I update 2-3 times a week for Caste affiliation, when I am allowed time.

[06:06] Kati Evans: (Is there a way I could help with some of that?)

[06:07] Odette Atheria: Not really - I have the applications

[06:09] Kati Evans: If you would consider letting me be able to view the list it would be helpful at times.

[06:09] Odette Atheria: What information do you need?

[06:12] Kati Evans: Sometimes it would be helpful to know who the current innkeeper is or the current record keeper... mainly full name and position, are they sworn or not

[06:12] Odette Atheria: You can look in main group - it they have a citizen tag, they are sworn.

[06:13] Odette Atheria: As for merchant shops - I don't keep that - just the caste they are in

[06:14] Odette Atheria: When we have Business registrations, they will be filed in Hall of records and you have access to those

[06:17] Kati Evans: Oh that would be helpful.  Just hard to keep track of who is whom.

KE - Telenus 010 - City Forms

 

[05:43] Odette Atheria: "I know of only one and I would not want him here.  And I wish I had time to find others, but I am busy with paperwork most of the time I am in the Hall.  ((I can put something in my profile))  As for forms, I suggested to the Ubar that he make an announcement that Registrations need to be filed, but He may have forgotten.  I was thiking that We Scribes should remind those living here that certain forms need to be filed as soon as possible, perhaps citing the section of law...What do you think?"

[05:49] Kati Evans: "Oh that might help." Then thinks about it and wonders if  I filled our the citizen form for the city, and makes a metal note to check.  "We were a bit lax when all the building was going on to get the city open, I fear things were missed.  Reminding the city citing the law sounds like a good start.  Maybe a small section reminding the citizens of what forms need to be filled out for the city records in the newspaper.  Do you know if a name has been decided on for the city paper?"

KE - Telenus 009 - Arealius Barbosa

 [05:21] Odette Atheria sighs "I wish I could remember his name...He wqs fun to chat with.  But, since you have had contact with this man, perhaps you could send a vulo suggesting that he catch up with our Historian and Chronicler, Lady Kiki.  I will send a vulo to her letting her know that the sailor scribe may be contacting her."

[05:22] Kati Evans: That sounds like a good plan.

[05:22] Odette Atheria: ((We can offer him Immigrant status, but nothing else in the group.  He is a Citizen of Olni))\

[05:23] Kati Evans: (( True ))

[16:52] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) smiled when Finn was mentioned. "He has been instrumental in working with the builders and raising this city from the rubble of its history.  There are few in this world that I trust beyond him," she said then nodded emphatically at the explanation about lumber. "I would like you once you are settled to sit with Lady Kati here, my assistant and counsel and lay out in detail everything you need and everything you can provide and we will make it happen.  Further, there is room among the warriors for another, if such things interest you."  Her attention then scanned the crowd gathered round, a delighted sigh at all the faces and apparent positive moods exhibited by each. "This has truly made my day.  Now if we can just find a head slaver I will bow down to the initiate temple myself because it will have been a miraculous thing!"

[16:52] SaraBrighton: greetings Masters, Mistresses and slaves

[16:53] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides): ((urts, she crashed.. If she is not back in ten, I'll assume she brought the Vart ;) ))

[16:54] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2) smiles seeing the Ubara in a god mood. "I have to take a trip by boat. before night " snaps my fingers

[16:55] Kaiko Mikoto (luelar.edwyn) wondered out after finishing with the slave " SIr Abraham.. your girl was wonderful, I would recomend however you find her a chastity belt.. as she is white silk.. and we already know there are men that enjoy  attaking and taking what doen't belong to them" she said in a soft maner not to interupt but inform. " also Sir if I may.. I like to see the kajira here every day for four days straight as she is to take the syrum shots... if she misses one dose.. she might have to start over again" she  states then looks at the rest " Konbawa, hope everyone having a good evening and health is well?"

[16:55] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides): *nods to the newly arrived girl* That, I will make sure to do. Lady Kati, I will send you a runner slave before we raise anchor again, with a complete list. The investment costs, I will carry, not problem. The expected profits will be shared as we agree, and at first pay for the upkeep, but with silver, it pays automatically.

===========================================

[06:47] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides): Hi Kati! I wanted to contact OOCly about mine and contor

[06:49] Kati Evans: Yes, what about mine and contor?

[06:52] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides): as promised, I thought about what we'd need to work with.. I have a complete 64x64x64m Mine in rezzer, but I whought we'd be good with a large vace/hall, and two tunnels.. one iron, one silver, with one cavern deep enough to touch the Linden water. I looked over the props I have, and I guess it might take about 150 to 200, for the mine

[06:53] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides): The contor will get along with between 50 to 120 prims. Can be a room/rooms/a house, whatever you can spare near the piers

[06:54] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides): what I dont remember is how many prims the entire mine was, but I can check in case you want that. It's too big for depicting a "fresh" mine, I would say

[06:56] Kati Evans: Well if you want to check it could be listed, I am not sure how much space there is below (not a builder myself)

[06:56] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides): *I thought we'd be good with a large cave/hall

[06:58] Kati Evans: Sounds goo to me.

[06:59] Kati Evans: We are trying to do everything ICly

[07:00] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides): very well.. just covering the builder side there, difficult ICly ;)

[07:03] Kati Evans: Just letting you know for future reference.

[07:03] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides): sure thx

[07:05] Kati Evans: I will pass this one to our builder and if he has questions, he can ask you directly.

[07:06] Kati Evans: (sorry for the type-os still waking up)

[07:08] Kati Evans: Lady Muse is very excited about this.  I am glad you came too.

[07:13] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides): me as well!

[07:14] Kati Evans: Feel free to find me anytime.

[07:23] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides): will do, my evening

My thoughts then turned to another pressing matter. "As for the troublesome innkeeper, would you have me confer with the head merchant to ascertain her actual departure, ensuring she has indeed vacated the premises?" I paused, a slight furrow in my brow. "And, perhaps more importantly, who holds the authority to grant or revoke an innkeeper's access? Knowing this would allow me to speak with the correct individual to formalize the change."

[12:47] Kati Evans: Lady Muse (or myself) are looking for you to discuss the Inn and the Innkeeper Pixie Stix at your earliest opportunity. - Lady Kati Evans

With a respectful bow, I extended a carefully rolled scroll to Lady Muse. "Esteemed Lady," I began, my voice soft yet clear, "here is a draft of what I propose to dispatch to those recalcitrant Ambassadors. Please, I implore you, review the suggested meeting times and adjust them precisely to your actual availability." A deferential smile touched my lips. "If it meets with your esteemed approval, I shall send it off at once and let them navigate the intricate dance of their own schedules."

________After a civil disturbance, the Ubar attempted to make an arrest for disorderly conduct.  The man, Sosla, resisted and punched the Ubar.______________________________________________  

Summary

This intense and chaotic log details a confrontation and arrest in the city of Isle of Teletus on September 9, 2025.

The event begins with Sosla Beck, a self-proclaimed highly skilled blacksmith, attempting to engage with Lulu (Muse's slave, also referred to as Chaos) and another slave. Izzy, a guard, immediately intervenes, stating that Chaos is "belted" (restricted) and unavailable. Sosla dismisses Izzy and approaches the Ubar CaineSteele and Ubara Muse Steele, who are present.

The situation escalates rapidly as Sosla, despite warnings, continues to demand a slave. CaineSteele, with Izzy's protection, orders Sosla to leave and pick between the "Tavern, Boat, or Jail." Sosla responds with outrage, claiming mistreatment and asserting his status as a free, respected blacksmith. Izzy and CaineSteele attempt to arrest him for disorderly conduct and disrespecting the Ubar.

Sosla repeatedly resists arrest with surprising agility, even striking CaineSteele in the stomach. The Ubara Muse Steele observes with interest, making cynical remarks about foreigners and suggesting Sosla's potential as a "lure slave." Eventually, Izzy successfully lands a blow to Sosla's throat, incapacitating him, and CaineSteele drags him into a jail cell. CaineSteele confiscates Sosla's boots and formally charges him with disorderly conduct, resisting a lawful arrest, and striking the Ubar, declaring this will be Teletus's first trial. Lacey, a slave, observes the entire chaotic event from the periphery, giggling at Izzy's remarks and fantasizing about throwing rotten fruit at the prisoner.

============================================================

[22:37] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): Chaos has been belted as you can cleary see by all the eye gocking you have done, so she will serve no one this day as her master has restricted her." " the other girl belongs to the ubar and ubara so i cannot speak for anothers property.  points to a few npcs sluts walking around. " why can't you use those beasts over there and the bigger question is do you have coin, for there owners troubles?"

6.6.3 Owners may impose sexual restrictions on their slaves. Belting is encouraged but not required. Free Persons who knowingly violate sexual restrictions shall pay a fine. Slaves who violate another’s restrictions shall be put to death.
6.6.4 Offenders must pay fines within one hand. Failure to pay invokes punishment as determined by the Magistrates.

[22:40] CaineSteele continues watching and remains silent. A smile plays on the corner of his mouth and rakes his nails along his slaves head.  He glances over to Muse and winks then faces forward once more.  He leans to the side a bit and looks at the mans boots and his eyebrows go up even higher, "What in the priest kings are those?  That leather would stop a sword!"

[22:41] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) caught sight of their slave's expression and frowned somewhat, gloved fingers sliding into the minimal space between collar and back of the girls neck, likely tightening the steel across the front of her throat, not enough to choke, mind you, but enough that the threat of it would be unmistakable. She leaned down and murmured in the slaves ear, "mind yourself kajira, and remember who's chain you are strung on now." She caught Caines wink then, and couldn't help the grin at his question.

[22:43] sosla Beck narrowed my eyes at the dark-clothed man in front of me. He stood rigidly, like a living barrier between me and the nearest girl, his presence tense and imposing. "I have some coins. Don’t worry about that," I replied, stepping forward and brushing past the man who, in my thoughts, seemed completely unreasonable. I noticed the man staring at my boots. "It’s important for every man to wear proper boots," I replied simply, pausing to let the words settle. "Well… I hope you’ll prove a bit more reasonable to speak with, then." I fell silent for a moment and pointed toward Black, letting my gesture speak.

[22:45] Lυlυ Lÿţє Õђηαкα (lululyteohnaka): Her lips parted just some upon feeling the collar and fingers dance at the back the slight shivers running along her spine and dipped her head down some upon hearing her Mistresses words, with an almost whisper back but sweet at the most 'Sorry my Mistress, is just i know that Master from where i used to be owned' she would not say much more as he had approached and fell quiet

[22:49] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): as the man moved was sure to move with him said no words but followed his stride. As he tried standing within striking distance of the Ubar slid between the Stranger and the Ubar not give a piss what the man thought. was now standing 2 paces from the stranger facing him. weight on the balls of his boots, knees slightly bent ready to throw his weight forward if need were to arise, his left hand on his astishi dagger. his right hand at his right side. a thumb flicking the pomel of his sword,

[22:54] CaineSteele watches the man approach, his eyes stern.  His body remains relaxed until once more Izzy is between them.  He has had enough.  He steps forward beside Izzy and thrusts out a hand and pokes the man right in the nipple.  "You, elegantly dressed man, will turn around and march your stylish boots to the terminal, where the pock marked pimpled pleasure slaves can remove them and suck your toes clean.  This one...." He jerks his head over his shoulder to Lulu "Is not a pleasure slave.  And the guard here already told you to piss off."  He jabs him with each following word.  "Tavern.....Boat......Jail."  He drops his hand.  "Your pick, make it now."

1.1.1       The Ubar governs the Isle of Teletus with the counsel, vote, and support of the High Council.

[22:55] CaineSteele: tavern not terminal))

[22:55] lacey (snuggles.easterwood): turned as she was still low to the ground watching Master Izzy move with the stranger, bit to be a stranger and walk right up to an Ubar would think be unwise. kept her eyes down cast this was free bussiness snot hers, she wanted to speak but that would be a big mistake.

[22:56] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) snapped her fingers in front of the slaves face, then made the common gesture for -silence- with drawing her fingers together before the girls mouth when she started trying to explain herself. For the time being she left it at that and returned her attention to the unfamiliar man before them, listening in silence herself, leaving the men to speak unimpeded. She watched Caine's change in demeanor to the much less common deadly seriousness that was rarely seen and stayed precisely where she was out of the way.

[22:58] Lυlυ Lÿţє Õђηαкα (lululyteohnaka): Felt the soft fingers and with the understanding keeping quiet, taking a look to the three standing and her Master words towards the one but hoping more so she would be out the way as she looked up to her Mistress some

[23:00] sosla Beck sighed as Black immediately stepped forward, forming the same rigid barrier as before between me and the ones I was trying to speak to. His presence was deliberate, obstructive, and clearly meant to assert control. There where no doubt about that. All his movements told me so. My eyes went wide as the other man stepped forward, poking my nipple. I blinked, stunned for a moment, then spoke, my voice sharp with outrage. "What? How dare you? Is this for real? Let me tell you who I am. I am Sosla, a highly skilled blacksmith. My work is considered art in many cities, and people watch me perform with admiration—and this is how I am treated? I can not touch a slave but I can be touched?"

[23:05] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): Remained standing his eyes never leaving the stranger. he would do nothing as long as the man did nothing.  " I stated chaos is belted and being punsihed by her master sit reason I said she was restricted. would like to speak with her owner, as he will not be as nice as I am being to you. He will not care that you are a smith and that people come form far and wide to watch you wackoff with your tools"  " He will more then likely send you to the city of dust, if you tell him shit"  YOU WILL WATCH YOUR MOUTH, in the presence of an Ubar of this great city or I will be happy to place you in stocks an dhave you arrested only to face the cities magistrate for a direct insult of Our Honorable Ubar" " By the way stranger I have never heard of you. " tell you what how about you drop troue and beat your meat for all of use to see what a great crafter you are, you said you tool with dinkers as a blacksmith"  stook there chuckling

[23:07] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): *stood*

[23:10] Lυlυ Lÿţє Õђηαкα (lululyteohnaka): (I have to run sl.. ill be 20mins and be back online.. )

[23:11] CaineSteele looks the man up and down slowly, seeing he had no visible weapons.  He shrugs and says "I will do you one better Solsa the blacksmith, and have the slaves toy with their cunts and tits outside your cell while you await a magistrate to determine your fine for your disorderly conduct..."  He reaches out and grabs the man's finely attired sleeves and holds firm, trying to pull him towards the jail cells at the bottom of the warriors hall.  (If you want to contest or anything, I am happy to dice roll.)

[23:12] lacey (snuggles.easterwood): covers her mouth with both her hands as her eyes went wide hearing Master Izzy. She had heard him say much much worse before but this. crawled now on all fours trying to get a bit closer but stayed to the far right thinking wowzers. was sure to keep her distance from the ubara and her girl. to the ubara far left side and tied moving into the flowers

[23:13] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) continued to watch the exchange between the men with interest, her gaze intent on her companion as he took care of business in the way that she admired so much, utterly decisive and radiating raw, yet somehow elegant power. When the grab was made for the man's sleep she stiffened as though a tabul coiling and ready to leap free if danger if necessary.

[23:15] sosla Beck listens to the mocking words of Izzy and shakes my head. "It is strange that you speak of respect and ‘no touching’ when the opposite seems to apply to me. I am not accustomed to being shown this kind of disrespect." My intense blue eyes darkened with gloom as I glared at Izzy, every word hanging heavy in the air. My jaw tightened, and a cold silence settled between us, broken only by the faint rustle of movement around us. I took a measured step closer, letting my presence and the weight of my displeasure speak louder than any further words could but then I was grabbed by the other man but pulled back with all my might . "ENOUGH! I am a free man and should be treated like one. I want to know why a magistrate should look at my behavior. I done nothing wrong and do ont deserve this . Either treat me with respect or I will turn and walk away!"

[23:19] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): as the man moved back, as I was already in a stand for attacking, as soon as the man started thrusting back, would spring off the balls of my boots lunging at him with my right shoulder sqauring off, as he lunged into a forward motion. (dice roll would be required see if you dosge my bull charge into you. as well as another dice roll for the Ubar grabbing you))

[23:20] CaineSteele: ((You two can roll, I will allow the slip from my grip))  He steps back watching Izzy lunge at the man.  His arms fold slowly across his chest as he awaits the outcome of the scrap between them.

[23:22] sosla Beck feels anger and frustration churn inside me. I stroke my fingers through my dirty blond hair, restless. Unease settles over me like a heavy cloak, my eyes darting around like a trapped animal, cornered by predators. I tried to step aside when Izzy throw himself forward

[23:22] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) just watched with the same interest as one watching a pair of bosk fighting once Caine withdrew and was almost tempted to offer her Ubar a wager, the thought of it bringing a little humor to her expression above th le veil

[23:22] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): (( what die hud would you like to use?)

[23:23] sosla Beck: I only got the regular zsc ))

[23:24] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): (( ok, roll you get a you get odd you get away you get even I strike you, thats fair)

[23:24] zCS sosla Beck rolled 5 (100).

[23:25] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): ( good job you dodged)

[23:27] lacey (snuggles.easterwood): turns watching the men scuffle, then saw Izzy lunging at the man and the man dodged. " GASPS" looking to the  Ubaras feet then over to the men in there wrestles having not clue what to think or do. was in shock

[23:33] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): ( sosla-Izzy-caine-muse-lacey-

[23:34] sosla Beck exhaled and stretched, shaking off the tension after dodging Izzy’s attack. "You act like brutes," I said, my tone sharp with disapproval. "I would have thought the citizens of a city would behave with a bit more civility." I moved back and put my arms across beneath my chest in a stubborn gesture

[23:37] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): was impressed as the man moved with lightning speed only to recover as he jogged out of the bull charge. "Sir the Ubar placed you under arrest, I demand you yeild or we shall be forced to in act a formal challenge with steel, as there is the Ubar and myself you have n chance. " I have a feeling the Ubar willbe placing you under arrest, if you do not yeild I shall mark you and you willbe hunted and brought back here for trial. If this is what you wish it will be done"

[23:39] CaineSteele watches the man strike the same pose as him, arms crossed over his chest.  He nods slowly and waves a hand at Izzy, "You in fact ARE under arrest.  I expect you to submit to that, pay the fine the magistrates give you or....." He crosses his arm again, "I will bypass the magistrate and use my authority as Ubar and sentence you quite severely."  His eyes cut between Izzy and Sosla slowly.  He steps up a bit but stays back, letting Izzy finish what he has started.

[23:41] CaineSteele: (please skip Muse.  She is tugged away RL)

[23:44] lacey (snuggles.easterwood): turns now seeing the cock Free backing off and acting like he did nothing wrong " Master should girl leave this scene as its getting scary?"   watched the man cast insults then question why these protector of teletus was acting in such a way, just smirked looking over at Sosla

[23:45] lacey (snuggles.easterwood): (not sure why it typed cock)

[23:45] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): (ya right)

[23:46] sosla Beck: "If this is… IF THIS IS?" I repeated Izzy’s words, my voice filled with disbelief. "That is not what I wish. I had hoped for a slut at each boot and endless of paga—but I can see now that you will not provide it." My eyes turned to Cain . "Under arrest for what? I did nothing!" I exclaimed, my fingers pointing sharply at Caine. "Look… calm down, and we can sort this out over a drink in the tavern. There’s no need for any more hostility." My eyes turned towards the girl that seemed different, more humble then she was when I entered , "I am sure the slut can provide us with some strong drinks whilst we sit down and speak like men do "

[23:49] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): moved to his left 6 male paces only to move 2 paces forward within grabbing distance of the man- " sir you are under arrest!!  " are you a fucking Idiot!!  I just told you she is BELTED, that mean she cannot serve in a tavern, do you not know the rules of a slave"   - reached out now to grab the man forceably to place him under arrest  ( once again odd you dodge even I grab you)

[23:51] CaineSteele unfolds his arms and steps forward to help Izzy this time.  His hands go out to seize the man from the other side in an attempt to take him into custody.  He glowers and wonders how agile this man is.

[23:53] sosla Beck stretched, keeping my arms crossed tightly beneath my chest. I held my posture deliberately, trying to appear as stubborn and defiant as the situation would allow, each movement a silent challenge to those around me. "Stop!". I cried out as the man tried to grab me . I lifted my arms to get away from the man..."Stop you foolish brute! Stop! " I cried out and tried to smack Caine in his stomach

[23:53] zCS sosla Beck rolled 49 (100).

[23:53] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): ( izzy grabbed you ,not the Ubars roll)

[23:53] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): Now)

[23:54] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): ( wait 49 is a dodge oknow the ubars grab)

[23:54] CaineSteele: (I will roll, even I grab, odd you doge)

[23:55] zCS CaineSteele Resident rolled 39 (100).

[23:56] sosla Beck managed to get out of the Ubars grab. I aimed a strike at Izzy’s midsection, using the motion to push myself free and create some distance.

[23:56] sosla Beck: odd I win))

[23:56] zCS sosla Beck rolled 48 (100).

[23:57] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): tries grabbing the man only to think he is covered in some kind of oil- " for the love of everything that is holy, this man is covered in some crazy Lube Ubar as we is slithering away from us"  busts out into laughter  " sir please surrender for we will take youinto custody at some point"   laughing

[23:57] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): (wb muse)

[23:57] Muse Steele (muse.triellis): (( thanks! ))

[23:58] lacey (snuggles.easterwood): ( yes welcome back)

[23:59] CaineSteele looks on in shock as the man escapes and wiggles out of the grips once again.  Then feels the sudden hit in his stomach.  He doubles over, a bit surprised by the man's strength.  He oofs and takes a deep breath trying to catch some air.  Gasping he says "You will be in a collar if not fed to the sharks for this!" He stands up straight and points to the man, "You better run before you are dead or in a collar!"

4.4.3 Assault - Defined as a willful attack with the intent to harm, excluding lawful duels or Warrior challenges.

4.4.3.c  Assault upon a Teletian official (Warrior, Guard, Magistrate, Ubar, or Ubara) shall result in loss of a hand (Free Men) or enslavement (Free Women)

[23:59] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) watched the altercation as it goes on, her attention shifting down to the slave nearby and shaking her head, her grin unmistakable in her tone as she says to the girl, "look at all this commotion over a mere slave, and not even a trained pleasure slave at that, my goodness"

[00:00] sosla Beck breathed heavily, my space invaded by the men. I spat onto the ground as they held me. "Are you drunk? Or insane? Or perhaps both—arresting a free man," I said, my tone sharp and biting, though it was more a statement than a question. "YOu know I am a free man. YOu can not collar a free man . There are laws against such!"

[00:00] lacey (snuggles.easterwood): stays back in the corner breaks out into giggles the second she heard Izzy's remarks about the man being covered in lube.  " whats Lube Master Izzy" does a double take as she has no idea what they are not talking about. hearing the ubara looking to her feet eyes downcast. " they are saying he is covered in oil or something as he keeps slipping away Mistress

[00:06] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) heard the girl and snorted, regarding the oddly dressed man.  "The last time I saw one dressed such as that I was helping them catalog crates off the ships from that place on the wrong side of the sun.  Though that one had this strange netting encasing his legs and chest, such an odd place that, its no wonder those that come from there are only good for slavery."

She eyed the blond man up and down again with the keen eye of the slavers, smirking faintly.  "I bet with proper training that one could be used a lure slave, really, my love" she called out, then added to the fellow, "the only common law in the world is merchant law, oh oiled one, and you are in Teletus, this is not the happy little hamlet of Tharna you are used to, I assure you. Our laws offer no protection to foreigners."

[00:09] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): after having missed grabbing the man two times made a fist in his right hand stand at 1 ft from his left side. swinging his right arm full force at the man throat, as I step into the arm bar throat swing with my left leg, looking ot knock the living wind out of him it I connect the blow- (Ubar please roll, odd is a dodge even is a hit)

[00:10] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): ( if he dodges)

[00:10] zCS CaineSteele Resident rolled 94 (100).

[00:10] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): ( Izzy just arm barred you to the throat, thats gonnahurt)

[00:12] sosla Beck huffed and puffed, each forced breath making my stress obvious. My eyes darted around, scanning each of them—sharp and calculating, fierce with anger, and heavy with frustration—like a cornered animal assessing its surroundings. The woman’s words stunned me for a moment. My intense blue eyes locked onto hers, a mixture of anger and frustration simmering beneath the surface. "How dare you, lady? How dare you speak to me that way?" I asked, my lips curling downward into a gloomy, disapproving expression. I was about to speak again when the man hit my throat with such might that I almost fell over . I got standing bending forward unable to move . I stared down at my own feet

[00:14] CaineSteele is still straightening himself and taking a deep breath, trying to find the air from the punch he had received earlier.  He grabs the man and drags him towards the jail cells, trying to maintain what dignity he has left tonight.  "This..." He huffs "Is going to be Teletus' first trial."

[00:16] Izzy (ashzzzzz.lemon): " Hazaaaaaaa Ubar Hazaaaaaaaaaa!!!"  " well Sir now we see justice shall be done on you, resisting arrest is bad enough, but to seek council we shall see or you planning on deffending yoursef"   stood in the jail area after following and helping take the man away

[00:17] sosla Beck finds myself dragged into a cell. I blink rapidly, trying to adjust my eyes and recover from the blow. "What is this supposed to mean…" I mumble, still bent forward slightly, pain and confusion twisting through me.

[00:19] CaineSteele pats the man down, searching him for weapons.  He eyes the boots and groans then pulls out a knife, cutting them down the sides to ensure nothing is hidden in those long stockings.  He steps back satisfied he would have found anything hidden and shakes his head, "This means, you are under arrest for disorderly conduct, resisting a lawful arrest, and striking the Ubar."  He shuts the gate and walks over to the lever, locking it tight before returning to stand back in front of the man.  "You could have made a good warrior with your agility and strength....." He shakes his head.

[00:20] lacey (snuggles.easterwood): follows the Ubara over as themen took the man away, now looking through the bars at him sticking her tongue out. then scoot a bit closer to the ubara as she was down as low as she could go without kneeling. Just looking about thinking about getting rotten fruit as we coudl all throw stuff at people in those cages

[00:22] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) followed the procession, though she veered off to the side where the bars were rather than follow them in and be in the way.  "This should be at least a small amount of continued entertainment, she said to the girl crouched at her side, then withdrew a small, utterly threadbare scrap of old rence paper from her pocket, turned it round a few times looking fr an empty spot in all the scribbles and added a reminder to get the chain down here feeding and watering the prisoner.
