KE0015 Waiting with Sexus for High Magistrate

Sextus Sentius Placidus (damienzev.underwood),(19:40 - 20:57)

This conversation centers on Kati Evans (a scribe) and Sextus Sentius Placidus waiting in an office for a magistrate who is late.

Key points:

• Waiting for Magistrate: Sextus is waiting for a magistrate for a questioning, and Kati is also waiting for the same magistrate as he asked her to.

• Time and Frustration: Both express hope the magistrate arrives soon, noting the late hour (nearing 11 pm for Kati). Sextus shows his impatience through physical actions.

• Conversation about the Storm and Kati's Situation: Kati mentions that new furniture has arrived, replacing items lost or damaged in a recent storm. Sextus reveals he was wrongfully held in barracks during the storm and expresses sympathy for her losses. Kati explains she was stuck during the storm, couldn't return to Port Victoria, and consequently lost her Magistrate position there because of her absence. Sextus expresses skepticism about the legality of her termination due to a natural disaster.

• Selnar as a New Home: Kati states that Selnar became a better place for her, and she enjoys living there and her new home. Sextus agrees that Selnar is a "glorious City."

• Lack of Preparedness: Sextus asks if Kati has any means to record his answers if the magistrate doesn't show up, to which Kati replies negatively.

• Magistrate's Absence and Consequences: Sextus wonders about the consequences for a magistrate who doesn't follow their own summons, especially since the person to be questioned had "openly and freely submitted." Kati notes she is only a legal clerk in this city.

• Offer to Leave: Sextus offers to let Kati leave, as he will wait for the remaining time block himself.

• Interruption by Valeria: Valeria Delrien shouts, announcing a "free slave" is available for Rist, and advises the slave to make herself useful to the city. Kati notes that if she were still a magistrate, she would investigate this.

• Sextus's Explanation of Submission: Sextus explains that the shouting woman (Valeria) has a tendency to get slaves or free people to submit, much like the reason he's currently summoned. He recounts an incident where a woman in northern clothing, when asked for an inspection for slave brands, openly submitted to a physician.

• Documentation for Absence: Sextus requests parchment and quill to write a statement and leave it in the mailbox if the magistrate doesn't show up. Kati provides paper.

• Departure: Kati informs Sextus she is leaving and wishes him a good night.

[19:47] Kati Evans: This is his.

[19:47] Kati Evans: You may want to leave the weapons outside.

[19:47] Kati Evans: Or in the hallway/

[19:48] Kati Evans: THat spear thing is rather long in here.

[19:50] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood) Would glance over as the helpful scribe entered the office, though he hoped it was the magistrate, the one he had been waiting for almost an Ahn.  The guards hadn't told him to disarm, since it was just a questioning but It was not. "Ah Lady Evans... Certainly i do not mind.   Is the magistrate on his way?" he would ask after standing up moving over and placing the spear in the corner rested against the wall so it wouldn't get knocked over or bumped into anyone walking in the hallway.  Then moved back in to sit down to wait.

[19:51] Kati Evans: I hope so as he asked me to wait as well

[19:51] Kati Evans: It is now nearing 11 pm here where I am.

[19:57] Kati Evans: I hope he comes soon

[19:59] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood) Makes slow puffs of air with his lips while he waits, after already having quite the meeting just before for more personal reasons... His arms over the sides, and muscles tensing and relaxing as he tapped the wood.

[20:02] Kati Evans: been a couple of busy days for me, the new furniture finally came.

[20:02] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood): Oh ? new furniture?

[20:03] Kati Evans: Finally got the stuff I ordered rather than just the stuff that could be found after the storm took so much

[20:04] Kati Evans: So my house looks more like my home.

[20:05] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood) "Oh, Yeah i was being wrongfully held in the barracks cell during the storm. So all i heard was the thunder and rainfall, unfortunately. So i was unable to help everyone out during that time. I only found out what truly happened a few days after my release.   Glad you were unharmed. Was your home on the lower parts of the city? i was told the higher parts didn't flood so much."  he'd ask

[20:06] Kati Evans: I actually came for a visit and got stuck

[20:06] zCS # [Mod] Vosathiel Ravenwood switched from [Away] to [RP].

[20:07] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood) ..... "So you are stuck in Selnar now? The Thassa should be calm enough to continue journeys."

[20:07] zCS # [Mod] InstantStorm Resident [RP] logged into the region.

[20:07] Kati Evans: I could not go back to Port Victoria as the storm hi,

[20:07] Kati Evans: hit*

[20:08] Kati Evans: Well when the storm was over, I was told my position was over due to my not being there. So I lost my Magistrate position.

[20:09] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood) "Well, that doesn't sound very binding in legality. Natural disasters are no reason for terminating a position. With a safe return said stand in magistrate would just be returned to their previous full time position."

[20:11] Kati Evans: THe way it was stated, here quickly became a better place to be

[20:13] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood) Nodded his head. "Well you are not wrong, Selnar is a glourious City. Anyone who swears loyalty to the homestone is lucky to be here."

[20:15] Kati Evans: I have enjoyed being here and love my new home.

[20:18] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood) Glanced over to her once more.  "Has he at least provided you with the means to carry out the recording of questions he had for me, so that i might answer them if he doesn't show up to this summons?"

[20:19] Kati Evans: I am sorry to say he did not

[20:21] Kati Evans: Shortly I will be going.

[20:21] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood) "The scroll of summons was pretty strict about there being punishment for not answering before the period of time. Wonder what happens to a magistrate for not following their own." her chuckled at the thought. Only because the reason for the summons seemed pointless, the woman not of selnar openly and freely submitted.

[20:24] Kati Evans: I am not sure as in this city I am a legal clerk at best

[20:24] Atiya Valencia (isidore33) is offline.

[20:28] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood): Well you do not need to wait on my account. If you need rest, ill wait here till the allocated time block, before moving on.

[20:28] Kati Evans: I think all that is left is 30 minutes... yes?

[20:29] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood): That would be it yes

[20:35] Valeria Delrien (ezraelusive) glanced over bit spying few and otherwise with a light sigh, She wondered if Rist was around as he was the only slaver she knew of, She took in a deep breath. "RIST! IF YOU'RE ABOUT! I GOT A FREE SLAVE HER!" She shouted it out wile shaking her head, She eyed Shyvana once more with a nod passing it over. "Alright, But like i said." She wouldn't repeat herself naturally it was for the best. "Far, Across the Thassa girl. One might not get off this island without a boat. Surely best you make yourself comfortable and useful to the city. That is the best a kajira can do yes?" She asked her while pondering if Rist would flake out or not.

[20:37] Kati Evans: Now if I were a Magistrate still I would go see what that is about.

[20:42] Kati Evans: Well your proof that you were here is me

[20:43] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood): If the voice is whom i think it is, hard to hear from here. I'd say she is fine, she has a tendency of getting slaves or free to submit to her when being questioned. Effectively just like the reason im here.

[20:44] Kati Evans: Oh?

[20:50] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood): Yup, I was questioning a questionable woman walking around in northern clothing, thick and hot clothing. With her hair down, When i asked the phyisican passing to come and give her an inspection for slave brands.... She openly submitted to the physician. And that was that.

[20:50] zCS # [Mod] Montell Lovejoy switched from [RP] to [OOC].

[20:51] Kati Evans: Good to know

[20:52] Ｓｅｘｔｕｓ  Ｓｅｎｔｉｕｓ  Ｐｌａｃｉｄｕｓ (damienzev.underwood): Do you have an empty parchment and quill i can borrow? i'll write up a statement and leave it in the mail box. Should he not show in the next few moments.

[20:53] Kati Evans: Hands over a piece of paper

[20:54] Kati Evans: Hopefully that will help

[20:57] Kati Evans: I am going to go then.  Have a good night.
