╔═.⌘.═════════════════════════════════╗
DUTIES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES
╚═════════════════════════════════.⌘.═╝
Your first assignment as an Apprentice Scribe will be to role play within the
city as a Scribe. If a person comes to
Library for a Scribe, you will be expected to attend to it to the best of your
abilities. If someone comes into
the Library needing help with forms, I normally sit down with them at a table
and work with them there - it is more friendly I think and it is very important
that the Blue Caste of Telnus be viewed by people of our city as being helpful
and friendly. It is important to remember that you are a member of
the Blue Caste - this is a High Caste, and as such you are expected to
comport yourself with dignity. Inappropriate behavior will be dealt
with by the Head of Caste.
As I said before, a large part of being a Scribe is being able to think on your
feet. Keep in mind that you will no doubt run into things that will
require you to "work around" the normal procedures.
A typical example would be if a new citizen came in for slave papers on a slave
and had no documentation. If it was a submission, they could put a
notecard of the submission on the Certificate of Ownership. Often times,
they will not have it and you will have to interview the slave, confirm her
submission, and notecard it with your signature and seal and date. Label
the notecard "Verification of Submission ((Slaves Name))" and
put it in the Certificate of Ownership. From there you would finish the
form as usual.
The same would be true if he said he bought her from some city and was given no
paperwork on her. Other cities are not as diligent about paperwork,
and in the North there is no paperwork at all, so we do have to work around
situations like that. Take the owner's statement, then ask the girl if
that is the truth of it, notecard it, signing and putting your seal on it with
the date and naming it "Verification of purchase ((Slaves Name)) and put
it in the slave papers and proceed as usual with the rest of the form.
These are just examples, and you will most likely run into other situations
that steer off the normal course and will require you to work around it to get
the job done. If you are ever confused or unsure, do not hesitate to
contact another member of the Blue Caste for help if I am not
available. And you can always take the information and tell them
you will get back to them later in the day.
Sometimes you may be called to the Gate because an Ambassador or Magistrate is
not available. You can take a message and assure them that the person
will contact them as soon as possible. You would then give the message to
the person ICly or notecard it and put it in their mailbox (I usually do the
latter in case they are not on when I am - I don't want to take a chance of
forgetting lol)
While you are completing the Course of Study to become a full fledged
Scribe, you will most likely not have assigned duties other than assisting in
the library (which tends to be feast or famine). The priority, however,
will be to get you certified as a full scribe as quickly as possible.
In your role of apprentice, you will fill out forms, sign and seal them, but
you will then turn them in to ________ either ICly or by putting them in the
"For Review" mailbox near her desk for her to review before it is
filed away.
