Leafiara says, "We need to make that official."

Ivastaen 17, 5123 - Business Beforehand

[Silverwood Manor, Courtyard]
Silver-veined grey marble comprises a short wall that lines the entire expanse of the courtyard.  Leading towards the carved haon door of the manor, some short boxwood hedges line the multi-hued cobblestone path.  Azalea bushes with resplendent pink blossoms find root in flowerbeds at the manor's base, and affixed to the structure is a gilded plaque.  Off to the side, partially concealed by the hedges, is a donation bin.  You also see the Nikolaii disk, a framed chalkboard and a silver bell with a long silken rope.
Also here: Nikolaii
Nikolaii says, "Bard unlocks."
High Lady Saraphenia just arrived.
Leafiara asks, "Yes... what about them?"
Leafiara snuggles Saraphenia, who responds by cradling an arm around her.
Nikolaii says, "I hear them advertised "pemanent unlock, 500k per week."
Saraphenia whimpers at Leafiara!
Leafiara nods at Nikolaii.
Nikolaii says, "If paying weekly, how is that permanent."
Leafiara says, "The weekly rate is referring to how many weeks of stored knowledge it would take them to permanently attach the song."
Leafiara says, "Which is a number between 1 and 3, depending on various factors."
Leafiara says, "You'll hear similar things with ensorcelling, tattooing, or other services."
Nikolaii asks, "Dumb it down for me, newly returned, remember?"
Leafiara grins.
Leafiara ponders.
Nikolaii says, "None of this existed."
Leafiara says, "Thinking how to word it..."
Speaking to Nikolaii, Saraphenia says, "Blerb blah blah narf fler gooble."
Saraphenia asks, "Is that dumb enough?"
Nikolaii begins chuckling at Saraphenia!
Saraphenia snickers.
Nikolaii says, "You forgot the pergams and nogshide."
[Leafi explains over a series of OOC whispers]
Saraphenia giggles at Nikolaii.
Nikolaii nods.
Leafiara grins.
Nikolaii says, "That's the one item that might cause problems."
Saraphenia leans softly against Leafiara.
Nikolaii says, "The buckler."
Leafiara chuckles.
Leafiara asks, "What's troublesome about it?"
Leafiara grins.
Nikolaii says, "An enhancive."
Saraphenia exclaims, "YOU need THEE Buckler! The extra E is for Enhancive!"
Saraphenia laughs!
Leafiara says, "That's likely not a problem for bards, but then again, you've run into all kinds of things lately due to ancient items, so maybe I shouldn't speak too soon."
Leafiara grins.
Nikolaii says, "My current buckler bites back."
Saraphenia exclaims, "So you have a back biting buckler?? How rude!"
Leafiara hoots.
Nikolaii says, "I meant the buckler and the locker fees."
Speaking to Leafiara, Saraphenia exclaims, "Forgive me, Goddess, Dragonfly is in a bit of a silly mood tonight!"
Leafiara grins at Saraphenia.
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara exclaims, "That's okay!"
Leafiara nods at Nikolaii.
Speaking to Nikolaii, Saraphenia asks, "Out of curiousity, are you a Landing citizen?"
Nikolaii says, "It was a gift from someone selling off locker. saw i use a buckler, and gave it to me."
Speaking to Saraphenia, Leafiara says, "I appreciate the enthusiasm, but Silverwood's a place of learning, sweets..."
Leafiara chuckles.
Leafiara nods understandingly at Nikolaii.
Nikolaii says, "Honestly, i don't remember if i applied or not. been so very busy of late."
Leafiara says, "You can check your CITIZENSHIP status any time."
Leafiara nods rhythmically.
Leafiara nods understandingly at Nikolaii.
Nikolaii says, "None, anywhere."
Leafiara nods.
Nikolaii asks, "Cost anything?"
Leafiara exclaims, "Nope!"
Leafiara says, "Just a bit of time and activity in town doing various things to gain recognition as a contributor."
Nikolaii nods.
Nikolaii says, "Rather pay silvers."
Leafiara says, "Depending if you've been doing bounties and the like, you might already be eligible."
Leafiara chuckles.
Speaking to Nikolaii, Saraphenia says, "The city council elections are in two months and I'm going to be one of the candidates."
Leafiara says, "You'd need to check in with the citizenship clerk to find out."
Nikolaii says, "I'm already in 2 groups, but doubt they count."
Nikolaii says, "I won't intrude on you 2 any further."
Nikolaii winks.
Leafiara says, "Oh, you're not intruding."
Leafiara chuckles.
Saraphenia says, "No, she's here for you."
Leafiara says, "If you have any other questions, do ask."
Leafiara grins.
Leafiara nods at Saraphenia.
Leafiara exclaims, "Phenia and I have all the time in the world together. This is Silverwood Manor time!"
Leafiara raises her fist defiantly.
Leafiara chuckles.

Leafiara tickles Saraphenia into laughing.
Nikolaii says, "Haven't made the list yet."
Nikolaii waves.
Nikolaii just went out.

Ivastaen 17, 5123 - Registration

Leafiara says, "Welp, there he goes."
Leafiara chuckles.
Leafiara exclaims, "Okay!"
Leafiara says, "I guess we should be heading to Moot Hall ourselves."
Saraphenia says, "Well now I feel bad, I think I drove him off."
Leafiara says, "I think I actually did answer his questions and he was just joking."
Leafiara says, "I sent him a thought."
Leafiara chuckles.
Saraphenia says, "I assume that you still have time you have to be here."
Leafiara says, "Nope."
Saraphenia joins Leafiara group's.
Leafiara says, "Unless he sends me a thought saying he had more questions, anyway."
Saraphenia beams happily at Leafiara!
Leafiara says, "But no response yet."
Leafiara says, "Okay..."

[Surname Registry]
Tall shelves crammed with dusty books leave but a narrow corridor to the low desk at the far end of the room.  A faded green velvet curtain falls halfway across a large window, the rippled glass casting watery patterns on the oak floor.  A lone fly buzzes in the very center, describing drunken circles in the heavy air.  You also see a marble sign and a distracted clerk.

>read sign
In the Common language, it reads:
You may CREATE, REGISTER, RENEW, SHARE, or CHANGE a surname here.  Ask the clerk for HELP.

Leafiara says, "Let's see here..."

>ask clerk about renewal
The clerk says, "Renewal lasts for one year starting from today and costs 10000 silvers."
With a puzzled frown, the clerk says, "I don't believe we have any record of the name Autumnwind in our files.  Have you REGISTERed it yet?"

Leafiara appears to be checking her pockets for something, but finds them empty.

[First Elanith Bank, Teller]
Most of the teller windows that line this room are missing the gates and gratings that once secured them.  Impatient clients stand at one of the two intact windows, waiting to get the attention of the tellers on the other side.  You also see a sturdy wooden table, a large sign and a low arch.

>ask clerk about register
The clerk says, "If you'd like to keep your present surname for your own use, you can ask me to REGISTER it.  If you'd like to allow those in your group to share your surname, you can ask me to SHARE your name.  They will then be able to CHANGE their surname to yours, should they so choose."
The clerk continues, "Once your surname is registered, it cannot be claimed by others without your permission.  Registration lasts a year, and you will be notified when that time period is within a month of expiring, so that you can RENEW it.  The cost is 10000 silvers."

>ask clerk to register
The clerk says, "You'd like to register the surname Autumnwind?"
The clerk accepts your silvers, jingling them together once before tucking them safely away.
The clerk pulls a particularly large book off the shelf and thumbs through it.  With a surprised snort, he looks up and says, "Looks like that name is available.  I suppose I should write it down somewhere."  He pulls out another book and makes an entry inside.  "Consider yourself registered," he says.
Shaking your hand, the clerk says, "Congratulations, Mistress Autumnwind!"

>ask clerk about share
The clerk says, "If you'd like to bequeath your name to others in your current group, you can ask me to SHARE MY NAME.  Well, your name, but pretend that was you speaking.  Anyway, that will give your current group members a chance to ask me to CHANGE their name to yours, though the option expires after thirty seconds."

>ask clerk to share my name
The clerk says, "Very good, we can make your surname available to the others in your group if they wish."
The clerk then explains the procedure to the members of your group.

Saraphenia appears to be checking her pockets for something, but finds them empty.
Leafiara asks, "How much?"
Leafiara rummages around in her pockets.
Saraphenia says, "I need 5000 silver."
Leafiara just handed Saraphenia some coins.
Saraphenia says, "You have to ask the clerk again."
