This log captures a series of interactions primarily centered around a proposition from Arealius Barbosa, a renowned historian-cartographer and Scribe from Port Olni, and his associate Lady Sorana, to Lady Kati Evans (Ubara's Council and Magistrate), with Abraham Jacobson (Master Scribe and Kati's Guardian) also present.
Here's a summary:
Initial Greetings and Proposition: Arealius and Sorana approach Lady Kati, identifying themselves as Scribes from Port Olni. Arealius presents a proposition regarding a "working association" with Teletus.
Arealius's Credentials: Arealius describes himself as a historian-cartographer with over 74 published stories and hundreds of maps, some of which are displayed at the Gorean Campus and featured in "The Voice of Gor." He offers to share all his work.
The Price/Terms: Arealius's "price" is not monetary but rather:
Access to Teletus as a Scribe.
Permission to write about and paint what he observes and participates in within Teletus.
Essentially, a "working association" to record Teletus's history for its people and all of Gor.
Kati's Interest: Lady Kati expresses significant interest in Arealius's work, finding it "very interesting indeed" and recognizing "The Voice of Gor" publication. She asks to see samples and is given a link to his blog post about "Turmus - Jewel of the Vosk River" and a map of "Old Cardonicus."
Discussion on Residency: Kati invites Arealius and Sorana to stay in Teletus to get to know them and asks if they would consider becoming residents. They politely decline, emphasizing their homestone is Port Olni, but indicate they could consider a "special category of resident" if available for their work.
Abraham Jacobson's Arrival and Prior Connection: Abraham Jacobson arrives, clearly knowing Arealius ("Tal Ar and Ana so good to see you"). He confirms Arealius's extensive work, stating he has 60 of his maps and art. This validates Arealius's claims for Kati.
Scribe Summit Invitation: Abraham invites Arealius to teach a section on map-making at the upcoming Scribe Summit in two weeks, offering to move his own schedule if necessary. Arealius expresses interest in attending but notes his "chaotic" and "unpredictable" daily schedule, making a firm commitment difficult.
Formal Approval Needed: Arealius states he will wait for confirmation from Teletus's Ubar regarding the collaboration before informing his own Ubar in Port Olni. Kati acknowledges this formality.
Departure: Arealius and Sorana request permission to explore the city, which is granted. They bid farewell, expressing thanks for the gracious reception.
Background Interactions: Brief mentions of CaineSteele (Ubar) and Muse Steele discussing costs and supply chains, and Caine interacting with his slave Nim.

[16:23] Arealius Barbosa: Tal Lady. Are you here to help us?
[16:23] Kati Evans: Tal Sir, I am Lady Kati
[16:23] William Carver is offline.
[16:23] Ana Barbosa (sorana): Tal Lady
[16:23] Kati Evans: How can I help?
[16:23] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) listened with interest to the conversation, shuddering at the costs. "At least we have merchants making landfall. supply chains should be spinning up in the next hand or two I would think"
[16:24] zCS # [Mod] PrettyLilPetra Resident switched from [Combat] to [Away].
[16:24] CaineSteele he looks to Nim and leans over, "Open up your mouth, Mine." He sighs and listens to Muse. "Yes, I sure hope so. We will be broke at this rate before we wake up tomorrow!" He snorts.
[16:24] Arealius Barbosa: "Well met Lady I am Arealius the Sailor of Port Olni's Caste of Scribes, this is Lady Sorana, also of the Caste of Scribes. We are here with a proposition for you Head of Scribes, do you have time to hear it?
[16:25] Kaiko Mikoto (luelar.edwyn) is offline.
[16:25] Jaiyana (skie.karu) resists the urge to nap and shrugs "I am merely the intermediary between the suppliers, the workers and yourself. All must be paid"
[16:26] Kati Evans: I would be happy to listen to what you have to say. Would you care for a set in our cafe and something to drink?
[16:27] Arealius Barbosa whispers: "Some where quiet would be best I think."
[16:27] Jaiyana (skie.karu) looks to Caine "If you have no more questions, I must go check on the progress, payment is due when the job is done" she says and saunters out (gotta run)
[16:27] Nim (lyannamoonside) listens to the words of the Free, but it is her Master’s voice that towers above the others. She parts her lips, brushing him with her gaze for a moment, pleased to be near him.
[16:27] Dahlia Black Clegane (voxsin) is offline.
[16:28] CaineSteele stuffs a silver coin and four copper into her mouth and poitns to Jai. Then hearing Jai say payment isn't due yet, he takes the slobbery ocins out and stuffs them back in his pouch with a sigh. He uses a finger to push up on Nim's chin and nods to Jai. "be well, Lady."
[16:28] zCS # [Mod] GeeGee2016 Resident switched from [Combat] to [Away].
[16:28] Jaiyana (skie.karu) waves and walks out
[16:29] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) calls I wish you well!
[16:29] Yara Crisp is offline.
[16:31] Zoe Corta (zoe.starling) is online.
[16:31] Arealius Barbosa leans close to the lady, "Lady Scribe, we can talk here if that is best for you?"
[16:31] zCS # [Mod] PrettyLilPetra Resident switched from [Away] to [RP].
[16:33] Nim (lyannamoonside) accepts the coins between her lips, but the woman’s needs postpone the payment, and the man’s fingers retrieve what had been given to her. Before allowing her head to rise, docile like clay to be shaped, she exposes her neck, embraced by the metal with which her fate had been sealed
[16:33] Kati Evans: As you wish. What is the proposition that you bring us?
[16:34] CaineSteele pats Nim's cheek affectionately and stands. "Well, I suppose I will go wander a little bit of the city and try to stay out of large crowds." he chuckles and looks between his girls.
[16:34] Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides) is offline.
[16:35] Muse Steele (muse.triellis) stands as well and couldn't helo but grin, "Ah but you are our beloved Ubar, the crowds will find you, my Love"
[16:35] Arealius Barbosa: "I am a historian-cartographer. I write about Gor's history and its geography. I have over 74 stories published and over a hundred maps of cities long gone but are a fine display of how Gor has evolved. They are on display at the Gorean Campus in fact. I am willing to share them all with you....for a very small price."
[16:36] Arealius Barbosa: "Would you like to see a sample of my work?"
[16:36] zCS # [Mod] Atiriya Resident [Combat] logged into the region.
[16:37] CaineSteele: Heel girls
[16:37] Ana Barbosa (sorana) listens quietly as they talk.
[16:37] William Carver is online.
[16:37] Nim (lyannamoonside) draws a smile at his touch, emphasized by the Ubar’s words, remaining at his feet, waiting for orders to be given. ‘From great power come great crowds in attendance, my Master.’
[16:37] Nakajima Takahashi (anvarra.alecto) is offline.
[16:38] Kati Evans: Stands smiling, "Yes, I would be interesting in seeing what you have in the way of a sample of your work. It sounds interesting to me."

[16:40] William Carver is offline.
[16:40] Arealius Barbosa whispers: "I am older than I look."
[16:40] Ana Barbosa (sorana) chuckles softly
[16:44] Kati Evans: "Oh at first glance this looks very interesting. It looks like it might take a bit to read an example. I am looking forward to reading some of this. ... What would you consider a fair price for your services and what all would you be providing?"
[16:45] Lib (liberace57) is online.

[16:46] Arealius Barbosa: "Also know that the Voice of Gor also features my work so my stories and paintings are seen all over Gor."
[16:47] Arealius Barbosa: "So, a working association with your caste is basically what I am asking."
[16:48] Kati Evans: "Oh, I know that publication. I find this very interesting indeed."

[16:48] Kati Evans: Excuse me, I will be right back in a moment or two. (( dogs need in ))
[16:48] Arealius Barbosa: "I am an historian and cartographer."
[16:48] Arealius Barbosa: ((yes ma'am))
[16:49] Ana Barbosa (sorana) stands quietly, her eyes shining with pride as the woman recognizes Ar's talents.

[16:51] Arealius Barbosa: ((I've been in Gor since 2010))
[16:52] Kati Evans: (( me too, January 2010 I came to Gor ))
[16:52] Arealius Barbosa: ((We're class mates! ))
[16:54] Kati Evans: "Oh this sounds very interesting. I hope you would stay a while with us. I would like for our Ubar and Ubara to meet you. Would you consider becoming residents here? Would you like to see some of the city?"
[16:56] Arealius Barbosa: "My homestone has been Port Olni for years and years and years. But if you have a special category of resident, I am sure we could consider it," He looks to Sorana, "What do you think?"
[16:56] Ana Barbosa (sorana): A Gorean has but one Home Stone...but it is nice to be welcome in other cities.
[16:57] Arealius Barbosa: "Exactly."
[16:57] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2) mine go get your shot

[16:58] Arealius Barbosa turns surprised, "Master Scribe Abraham!"
[16:58] Kati Evans: "If you stayed with us it would give you a chance to get to know us."
[16:58] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2) smiles big and tries not to get too excited "Tal Ar and Ana so good to see you.
[16:58] Ana Barbosa (sorana): Tal Abraham!
[16:59] Arealius Barbosa: "And we will, but...our homestone is Port Olni. But I would be working for you in recording your history for your people. For the people of all Gor."
