Mood/Title: Class Updates, Scribe Academy & An Evening Off
Started the morning updating my class signs in Olni, dropping "The Circle" in favor of "Kati Evans' Class Board" and tweaking the descriptions to make navigation smoother. Layla and I had a nice fashion show displaying her new outfit before we headed over to Thunder Mountain to attend the Apprentice Scribe Class at 8:00 AM SLT, taught by Skylar Bahram. It was a very thorough session covering the core duties, codes, and historical weight of the Blue Caste.
After returning to Olni, I made a quick deposit of 3 silver and 13 copper at the bank before catching up with Falconer McKeenan, Ledia, Eridain, and Aisha out near the gates. Falconer mentioned the strange visitor from earlier, and we talked briefly about Captain Wind's longhouse and checking in on family.
In the evening, Layla and I sat out at my class area for the 7:00 PM SLT discussion time slot. With most residents across the river enjoying tavern night, no students arrived for this session, allowing us to turn in early and rest up for tomorrow's SCoG meeting in Lara.
To Do:
Attend the Scribe Caste of Gor (SCoG) meeting tomorrow at 8:00 AM SLT in Lara with Layla.
Complete the 50-word summary homework assignment for Skylar's Scribe Class.
Continue preparing materials for next week's discussion session.
