1-8 qps, depending on length and quality.
Rplizer +1 qps : x

Summary: +1 qps : x
Total: 6 qps for all 3 logs combined. Didn't award as much as usual since all three of these logs hinge on the same principles, e.g. mentioning the incident in the Blue wing, mentioning getting in trouble. Pretty formulaic. Also awarding Dorthy, Stela and Roberto.

Elmitsu Makes a New friend I
Summary: Elmitsu makes a new friend in Dorthy and decides to show her around the Tower grounds. We join the scene already in progress.
Characters: Elmitsu, Dorthy
Disclaimer: Careful readers will note this happened a long time ago: the statute of limitations on fowl transgressions has therefore expired, so Elmitsu cannot be punished. RIGHT?

Dorthy thinks about it for a moment and then it's gone.
Elmitsu looks stricken for a second before answering confidently, "-Really good-."
Elmitsu says 'I think.'
Dorthy says 'the Ogiers built the Tower, right?'
Dorthy says 'I met one once.'
Elmitsu says 'Yes! And all of the fanciful buildings you see around the city!'
Dorthy says 'they're not as tall as you'd expect.'
Elmitsu leads Dorthy through the garden path.
Dorthy tries not step on anything that looks alive.
Elmitsu says 'We are going to one of my favorite places.'
Dorthy says 'I hope it's the kitchen.'
Elmitsu whispers to Dorthy 'I like to watch them practice.'
Elmitsu rubs her hands together excitedly.
The Warders' Practice Yard
A large expanse of bare ground at least fifty paces across and nearly twice
as long stretches forth, its earth beaten hard. At intervals around it
under the trees stand wooden stands holding quarterstaffs and practice
swords made of strips of wood bound loosely together, and a few real swords
and axes and spears. A large gray stone building lies to the east, home to
the warder students and those warders who are not sharing quarters with
their Aes Sedai in the main Tower structure itself.
An iron lantern hangs from the wall above the gate.
A weapon rack stands on the ground here, ready to store weapons.
Some elaborate figurines spew fresh water into a broad basin here.
A gray palfrey prances skittishly nearby.

Coulin the Master of Arms is here teaching his students.
A gray haired weaponsmaster stands nearby.
Dorthy has arrived from the south, riding a black stallion.
Dorthy steps aside near an old wall, trying to stay out of way.
Elmitsu curtseys deeply to Coulin Gaidin, and her presentation only wobbles a little near the end.
Dorthy shoulders up next to Elmitsu, taking in the show.
Dorthy purses her lips, admiring the deftness of two younger squires locked in combat with wooden swords.
Elmitsu confides, conversationally, "I used to come here a lot more because when I first came to the White Tower, I was BLOCKED."
Elmitsu admires, perhaps, more than the squires' deftness.
Dorthy says 'well. it's probably hard to study with all this going on.'
Dorthy nudges Elmitsu suggestively. They have an understanding.
Elmitsu whispers to Dorthy 'Well, I could only channel the One Power when I was holding a boy's hand!'
Elmitsu looks on wistfully at the various training scenes unfolding around the yard. She rounds on Dorthy once more.
Elmitsu says 'Did you say you wanted to see the Kitchens?'
Dorthy says 'I think so.'
Dorthy says 'are they serving?'
Elmitsu threads her arm through the crook of Dorthy's as if the Accepted had been practicing on a needle.
Elmitsu says 'Come. I will get you something to eat!'
Dorthy stops riding a black stallion.
Elmitsu says 'Mistress Laras won't let you bring a horse into the kitchen. She says it's un-san-i-tar-y.'
Elmitsu continues yammering on as she illustrates the various features of her tour.
[The pair travel to the Tower kitchens.]
Dorthy says 'maybe we should have some fun?'
Dorthy opens the pantry and prepares the ingredients for a dinner.
Dorthy begins preparing the dish.
Dorthy says 'when I was a little girl, we would hide animals in the dens of the ajahs.'
Elmitsu prepares a goblet, filling it from a nearby barrel.
Dorthy eats a plate of hot stew with some bread.
Elmitsu prepares a goblet, filling it from a nearby barrel.
Dorthy says 'I haven't done that in some time.'
Elmitsu whispers to Dorthy 'Nobody even noticed the last time I filled the Red Den with chickens.'
Elmitsu considers, "And some ducks."
Dorthy tells Elmitsu 'lets try cats and instead we'll do the brown ajah.'
Dorthy tells Elmitsu 'or maybe.. we just do all of them.'
Dorthy leaves west. <<
Elmitsu follows Dorthy.

[Dorthy buys several chickens.]
Dorthy says 'perfect.'
A black cat has arrived from the north.
Elmitsu says 'I accidentally got Trinket killed by a Dreadlord.'
Dorthy says 'cmon birds. Lets go!'
Dorthy shivers uncomfortably.

Elmitsu says this conversationally but also with wide eyes and white cheeks.
Dorthy says 'how on..'
Elmitsu says 'The very one!'
Dorthy thinks hard on that one.
Dorthy says 'don't let anyone find the collar.'

[. . .]
Study of the Brown Ajah
Tall, arched windows in the northern wall open to a balcony, providing a
choice view of the Erinin as it flows south from the Borderlands. Half the
seating in the room is drawn up around the windows, showing that the
occupants appreciate the panorama. The remaining seats are drawn up in
circles of six to eight, allowing Brown Sisters to discuss the furtherance
of knowledge, or new theories in an informal atmosphere. Colorful wall
hangings depicting still lifes decorate the pale white walls.
A large desk made of fine, thick wood stands across the room from here.

Dorthy peers through a keyhole of the carveddoor.
Dorthy says 'in there?'
Dorthy says 'ugh, usually they keep them in the cellars.'
Elmitsu says 'The one to the northwest. I was looking for Rafela Sedai.'
Conservatory of the Blue Ajah
During daytime, bright light floods in from tall, arched windows set in the
eastern wall, which offer a view of the many spires of Tar Valon as well as
the eastern bank of the Erinin. On clear days, the peaks of the Dragonwall
can be seen, far away to the east. Bookshelves, tables, maps and charts are
all present as the Blue sisters prepare for whatever tasks currently occupy
them or as they plan business away from the Tower. On one wall hang two
large portraits of Ciel Sedai and Adaire Sedai, with white ribbons of
mourning tied into the latticework of the frames.
A chair made of red oak rests next to the table. [2]

[An interlude in the Square.]
Tower Square
This side of the square is the southern section of the Tower Square.
In the center is the walled off White Tower. To the south a large
boulevard opens up leading to the Southharbor. To the north you see
the southern gate of the Tower grounds. The square continues east
and west.

Den of the Red Ajah
This room reflects the cool nature of the Red Ajah, the furnishings just as
severe as the rest of the room. A gilded chair rests near the center of the
room, accompanied by an equally elaborate dark wooden desk. Chairs have
been drawn up to the tall, arched windows, which look over the western side
of Tar Valon, the western bank of the Erinin and Dragonmount beyond,
serving as a constant reminder of the purpose of the Red Ajah.
A chair made of red oak rests next to the table. [2]

Hall of Inferences of the White Ajah
The oval room is entirely filled by a single immense table, ornately
carved chairs with white leather cushions placed around it at equidistant
intervals. Behind each chair sits a large blackboard, smeared with chalk
dust accumulated over many years. Slender soaring windows pierce the high
walls, stretching to the distant ceiling. A large arch to the north leads
out of the chamber, heavy wooden doors swinging on cast-iron hinges.
A chair made of red oak rests next to the table. [2]

[The girls replenish their supplies.]
Solarium of the Yellow Ajah
Tall, arched windows offer a view of the island of Tar Valon and the
confluence of the river Erinin beyond Southharbor, as the river starts on
its journey to Tear. Pots and plants dot the balcony outside the windows.
Chairs have been drawn up near the windows and vases containing bouquets of
of yellow flowers have been placed nearby. Several desks and clusters of
chairs have been distributed around the room, allowing for informal
discussion of Yellow Sisters' research and studies.
Sumptuously upholstered, a gold brocade chaise lounge with gilded legs rests nearby.
A large desk made of fine, thick wood stands across the room from here.

[Some horses for the Gray.]
Meeting Room of the Gray Ajah
Large, leaded glass windows surround the room on all sides, save the
southern where a large doorway leads out into a antechamber. The room
itself is dominated by a large wooden table around which sits at least
fifty matching chairs, something close to a record for the White Tower. In
the middle of the table are an assortment of unused parchments, quill pens
and stoppered ink jars. A small stand off to one side of the room holds a
large number of glass cups and a large pitcher of chilled water. An
inscription in fine lettering is etched upon the windows.

[Reader, she did not. The pair conclude with the Green.]
Strategy Room of the Green Ajah
Tall, arched windows on the east wall offer a view of the Tower Grounds and
the spires and sky bridges which dominate the city of Tar Valon. A few
cushioned chairs have been drawn up to the windows. The other seats in the
room consist of tiered benches carved elaborately with oak leaves and
swords, rising in a semi-circle around a central platform. Each place on
the benches has been marked by a green silk cushion. A large oaken table
for strategic planning stands on the platform, ready for use.
A chair made of red oak rests next to the table. [3]
A long wooden table offers room for patrons.
A wild stallion bucks madly.
A gray palfrey prances skittishly nearby.
Dorthy Marigold is standing here.
A silver-haired Aes Sedai sits here, reading.
A Green Sister struts about the halls.
Alanna Mosvani, a tall, slenderly beautiful woman with dark, penetrating eyes stands here.
Dorthy says 'now'
Elmitsu says 'Horses for Greens!'
Dorthy says 'they have horses'
Elmitsu says this quietly so that Alanna does not hear her.
Dorthy closes the carveddoor.
Dorthy nods in agreement.
Dorthy says 'I will continue to bolster the greens new farm soon.'
Dorthy says 'I must go help these others.'
Dorthy thinks hard.
Dorthy says 'lets scram.'
Elmitsu stops following Dorthy.

Total: 6 qps for all 3 logs combined. Didn't award as much as usual since all three of these logs hinge on the same principles, e.g. mentioning the incident in the Blue wing, mentioning getting in trouble. Pretty formulaic. Also awarding Dorthy, Stela and Roberto.

Elmitsu Makes a New friend I
Summary: Elmitsu makes a new friend in Dorthy and decides to show her around the Tower grounds. We join the scene already in progress.
Characters: Elmitsu, Dorthy
Disclaimer: Careful readers will note this happened a long time ago: the statute of limitations on fowl transgressions has therefore expired, so Elmitsu cannot be punished. RIGHT?
+-+-+-+
Dorthy thinks about it for a moment and then it's gone.
Elmitsu looks stricken for a second before answering confidently, "-Really good-."
Elmitsu says 'I think.'
Dorthy says 'the Ogiers built the Tower, right?'
Dorthy says 'I met one once.'
Elmitsu says 'Yes! And all of the fanciful buildings you see around the city!'
Dorthy says 'they're not as tall as you'd expect.'
Elmitsu leads Dorthy through the garden path.
Dorthy tries not step on anything that looks alive.
Elmitsu says 'We are going to one of my favorite places.'
Dorthy says 'I hope it's the kitchen.'
Elmitsu whispers to Dorthy 'I like to watch them practice.'
Elmitsu rubs her hands together excitedly.
The Warders' Practice Yard
A large expanse of bare ground at least fifty paces across and nearly twice
as long stretches forth, its earth beaten hard. At intervals around it
under the trees stand wooden stands holding quarterstaffs and practice
swords made of strips of wood bound loosely together, and a few real swords
and axes and spears. A large gray stone building lies to the east, home to
the warder students and those warders who are not sharing quarters with
their Aes Sedai in the main Tower structure itself.
An iron lantern hangs from the wall above the gate.
A weapon rack stands on the ground here, ready to store weapons.
Some elaborate figurines spew fresh water into a broad basin here.

Dorthy has arrived from the south, riding a black stallion.
Dorthy steps aside near an old wall, trying to stay out of way.
Elmitsu curtseys deeply to Coulin Gaidin, and her presentation only wobbles a little near the end.
Dorthy shoulders up next to Elmitsu, taking in the show.
Dorthy purses her lips, admiring the deftness of two younger squires locked in combat with wooden swords.
Elmitsu confides, conversationally, "I used to come here a lot more because when I first came to the White Tower, I was BLOCKED."
Elmitsu admires, perhaps, more than the squires' deftness.
Dorthy says 'well. it's probably hard to study with all this going on.'
Dorthy nudges Elmitsu suggestively. They have an understanding.
Elmitsu whispers to Dorthy 'Well, I could only channel the One Power when I was holding a boy's hand!'
Elmitsu looks on wistfully at the various training scenes unfolding around the yard. She rounds on Dorthy once more.
Elmitsu says 'Did you say you wanted to see the Kitchens?'
Dorthy says 'I think so.'
Dorthy says 'are they serving?'
Elmitsu threads her arm through the crook of Dorthy's as if the Accepted had been practicing on a needle.
Elmitsu says 'Come. I will get you something to eat!'
Dorthy stops riding a black stallion.
Elmitsu says 'Mistress Laras won't let you bring a horse into the kitchen. She says it's un-san-i-tar-y.'
Elmitsu continues yammering on as she illustrates the various features of her tour.
[The pair travel to the Tower kitchens.]
Dorthy says 'maybe we should have some fun?'
Dorthy opens the pantry and prepares the ingredients for a dinner.
Dorthy begins preparing the dish.
Dorthy says 'when I was a little girl, we would hide animals in the dens of the ajahs.'
Elmitsu prepares a goblet, filling it from a nearby barrel.
Dorthy eats a plate of hot stew with some bread.
Elmitsu prepares a goblet, filling it from a nearby barrel.
Dorthy says 'I haven't done that in some time.'
Elmitsu whispers to Dorthy 'Nobody even noticed the last time I filled the Red Den with chickens.'
Elmitsu considers, "And some ducks."
Dorthy tells Elmitsu 'lets try cats and instead we'll do the brown ajah.'
Dorthy tells Elmitsu 'or maybe.. we just do all of them.'
Dorthy leaves west. <<
Elmitsu follows Dorthy.
Dorthy says 'first we need to procure some grade a livestock.'
Dorthy says 'I know the place.'

a shaggy brown mare for 9 gold crowns and 12 coppers.
a chicken for 1 gold crown and 4 coppers.
a falcon for 9 gold crowns and 12 coppers.
Dorthy says 'no cats..'

Dorthy says 'chickens it is.'
Elmitsu says 'I saw Trouble in the Square, but he's hard to catch.'
[Dorthy buys several chickens.]
Dorthy says 'perfect.'
A black cat has arrived from the north.
Elmitsu says 'I accidentally got Trinket killed by a Dreadlord.'
Dorthy says 'cmon birds. Lets go!'
Dorthy shivers uncomfortably.
Dorthy says 'the ferret?'
Elmitsu says this conversationally but also with wide eyes and white cheeks.
Dorthy says 'how on..'
Elmitsu says 'The very one!'
Dorthy thinks hard on that one.
Dorthy says 'don't let anyone find the collar.'
Dorthy grimaces.

[. . .]
Study of the Brown Ajah
Tall, arched windows in the northern wall open to a balcony, providing a
choice view of the Erinin as it flows south from the Borderlands. Half the
seating in the room is drawn up around the windows, showing that the
occupants appreciate the panorama. The remaining seats are drawn up in
circles of six to eight, allowing Brown Sisters to discuss the furtherance
of knowledge, or new theories in an informal atmosphere. Colorful wall
hangings depicting still lifes decorate the pale white walls.
A large desk made of fine, thick wood stands across the room from here.

Dorthy says 'in there?'
Dorthy says 'ugh, usually they keep them in the cellars.'
Elmitsu says 'The one to the northwest. I was looking for Rafela Sedai.'
Conservatory of the Blue Ajah
During daytime, bright light floods in from tall, arched windows set in the
eastern wall, which offer a view of the many spires of Tar Valon as well as
the eastern bank of the Erinin. On clear days, the peaks of the Dragonwall
can be seen, far away to the east. Bookshelves, tables, maps and charts are
all present as the Blue sisters prepare for whatever tasks currently occupy
them or as they plan business away from the Tower. On one wall hang two
large portraits of Ciel Sedai and Adaire Sedai, with white ribbons of
mourning tied into the latticework of the frames.
A chair made of red oak rests next to the table. [2]

[An interlude in the Square.]
Tower Square
This side of the square is the southern section of the Tower Square.

boulevard opens up leading to the Southharbor. To the north you see
the southern gate of the Tower grounds. The square continues east
and west.

Den of the Red Ajah
This room reflects the cool nature of the Red Ajah, the furnishings just as
severe as the rest of the room. A gilded chair rests near the center of the
room, accompanied by an equally elaborate dark wooden desk. Chairs have
been drawn up to the tall, arched windows, which look over the western side
of Tar Valon, the western bank of the Erinin and Dragonmount beyond,
serving as a constant reminder of the purpose of the Red Ajah.
A chair made of red oak rests next to the table. [2]

Hall of Inferences of the White Ajah
The oval room is entirely filled by a single immense table, ornately
carved chairs with white leather cushions placed around it at equidistant
intervals. Behind each chair sits a large blackboard, smeared with chalk
dust accumulated over many years. Slender soaring windows pierce the high
walls, stretching to the distant ceiling. A large arch to the north leads
out of the chamber, heavy wooden doors swinging on cast-iron hinges.
A chair made of red oak rests next to the table. [2]

Solarium of the Yellow Ajah
Tall, arched windows offer a view of the island of Tar Valon and the
confluence of the river Erinin beyond Southharbor, as the river starts on
its journey to Tear. Pots and plants dot the balcony outside the windows.
Chairs have been drawn up near the windows and vases containing bouquets of
of yellow flowers have been placed nearby. Several desks and clusters of
chairs have been distributed around the room, allowing for informal
discussion of Yellow Sisters' research and studies.
Sumptuously upholstered, a gold brocade chaise lounge with gilded legs rests nearby.

Meeting Room of the Gray Ajah
Large, leaded glass windows surround the room on all sides, save the
southern where a large doorway leads out into a antechamber. The room
itself is dominated by a large wooden table around which sits at least
fifty matching chairs, something close to a record for the White Tower. In
the middle of the table are an assortment of unused parchments, quill pens
and stoppered ink jars. A small stand off to one side of the room holds a
large number of glass cups and a large pitcher of chilled water. An
inscription in fine lettering is etched upon the windows.
A large round table built from black oak dominates the center of the room.

Strategy Room of the Green Ajah
Tall, arched windows on the east wall offer a view of the Tower Grounds and
the spires and sky bridges which dominate the city of Tar Valon. A few
cushioned chairs have been drawn up to the windows. The other seats in the
room consist of tiered benches carved elaborately with oak leaves and
swords, rising in a semi-circle around a central platform. Each place on
the benches has been marked by a green silk cushion. A large oaken table
for strategic planning stands on the platform, ready for use.
A chair made of red oak rests next to the table. [3]
