[Citadel Location] Synchrograph Office

[Panna Cotta]

One of the unique features of Sahova is its bureaucracy. While the Archwizard enforces a semblance of management, the rest of the community can go about their science projects with the least interruption possible. This is accomplished with partial help from the Synchrograph Office, a golem-operated stockroom that provides the wizards with most of the supplies that they will need. In addition to this, it serves as a convenient merchant within Sahova that facilitates the trade of various goods inside and outside Sahova. Most wizards find it convenient to buy and sell their magical stuff through the Synchrograph because it saves them the hassle of meeting up with merchants in the Harbor. The office is also a mechanism to regulate and keep track of everybody, as the ingredients, materials, and requests that they send to the office is recorded and monitored. Boris Etnerius never leaves the Synchrograph Office, which is colloquially called as "THE office". He makes sure that everything is in order. He instructs everyone to fill-up the necessary forms for everything that needs to be done. Boris works under the strict supervision of Lector Qiao. All personnel actions are immediately reported to, if not monitored by, the Council, the five people currently holding the executive and administrative power over the Citadel. Boris Etnerius or Bebe is probably the busiest Nuit in Sahova. He constantly keeps a record of all requests that pass through his office. He is often up and about the Synchrograph from one filing cabinet to another, ordering golems to and fro as he stamps approval or rejection on filled-up forms. Bebe talks as if he is always in a hurry, eager to get rid of nosy apprentices and get back to his job. He treats the resident wizards, especially those under Qiao's favor, with special politeness. Apprentices and non-Nuits are always treated second best and they get the worst deals in trades. The process is very simple. Upon entering the Synchrograph's Office, one must take a form from a tall drawer and fill it up. Forms are labeled and color-coded at the lower-right corner, and only an idiot will not be able to follow simple instructions. Bebe is hardly ever at his desk, as he is always inspecting files and double-checking forms, so one must leave the form on top of his desk and the request will get a reply within a day or two.   Material Procurement A Material Procurement Form is submitted to Bebe when a resident needs tools and items to create something or to perform an experiment. Sahova has its own stock of endless merchandise useful for the undead, except perishable goods or living animals(no corpses, either). In the true spirit of utilitarianism, mages are requested to procure items only as they are needed, so that waste may be avoided. "THE Office" has all kinds of tools and raw materials that a Sahovan Mage could take full advantage of. While mages are not charged for the items they wish to obtain, one must keep in mind that only Masters have the authority to request for uncommon or rare items for their pet projects. That is not to say that approval of a project will not entail any expense on the mage's part all the time. There will be occasions when Bebe would charge a small levy on certain projects (especially if you are still an apprentice). Material Procurement Form E-43 (Sample) Name: PC's Name Occupation: Location, Position Master: NPC Name or Title of Project: Experiment or activity title Brief Description: Insert a description of the project List of Materials: List the items needed   Merchant Form Because the masters do not often leave the Citadel, most trade is done with the assistance of the Synchrograph. Mages can fill-up a request form for a certain item that may not be available for free and pay the necessary dues. Examples of these merchandise are books, clothing, and uncommon and exotic materials. Be reminded that there will be times that the requested item may not be in stock. Merchant Form 8-13 (Sample) Name: PC's Name Occupation: Location, Position Reason/s for purchase: Item or List of Items: Item 1 Item 2 In addition to material procurement the Office also handles special orders. Filed away behind Bebe’s desk are a number of submission forms which require a mage to complete. Any resident of Sahova may accept one of these requests, but are then required to complete it expediently. Once an order is accepted it may not be taken on by a different mage, failure to complete an order after accepting will be noted. The orders are by necessity kept away from the eyes of visitors as the contents could be politically harmful to the customer. These requests are not exclusive to Sahova though and may come from any city currently involved in trade with Sahova. All completed requests are to be returned to the Synchrograph’s Office unless otherwise stated.   Scrolls, Potions Thornhair Morph Applicable Skills: Morphing, Glyphing/Philtering Desired Product: A potion or scroll that can be used by a non-morpher to transform into a thorn hair.

[Alma]

Alma looked around the room, amazed at all of the documents and books present. The desk in front of him was a large one, with papers, books, quills, ink wells, and a huge assortment of miscellaneous things. The room's warmth felt nice to Alma.

Alma stepped forward, looking at the three different forms he could fill out. Well I need materials to begin practicing my Malediction... he thought to himself, and then picked up a Material Procurement. Okay, he thought. Let's see here...

Material Procurement Form A-1
Name: Alma
Occupation: Quarters, Apprentice
Master: Frankie Lee Tieh
Name or Title of Project: Malediction, and things dealing with Malediction
Brief Description: I wish to practice Malediction on several different items, for bettering my skills and possibly making a small salary (but that is not my main focus).
List of Materials: One skull, one set of teeth, sturdy string, and one set of carving tools. Details on the skull and set of teeth would be appreciated.

Alma was pleased with his form, and felt it was nicely filled out. I hope the person reviewing it feels the same way, he thought grimly. He wasn't sure where to leave the form until he saw three large piles of papers. Each pile was for one of the three different forms. Alma located the Material Procurement pile, and delicately placed his on top. He looked around the room once more, absorbing the warmth, and left to return to his quarters.

Request Approved!
