Lieutenant Lizz stepped off the transporter pad, glitter still falling off her suit of armor from the end of Knight @Blueafrica's holiday celebrations. The adventures on the ship had stalled out after an unfortunate goblin interaction, making it very good to be home.
A stack of logs for approval and badge requests were carefully piled on her desk, ready to tip at any moment. She skimmed over the official papers while walking down to the Great Hall. A few Office Squires flocked to her side, bringing up a long sheet of agenda needs.
"Ma'am, there's a stack of knights waiting for you."
"Get me a cup of coffee."
Lizz swept the pile of newspapers off the throne and took the sheet of names from another waiting squire. The line of Knights in the Hall was nothing like the crowds that used to show up after a Review Day battle but still enough people to cause anxiety.
"Greetings Knight Rain (@EternalRain) and congratulations on completing another noble quest. Consider your design carefully."
Rain turned away with a piece of sheet metal and a pamphlet of information on "Designing Your Own Coat of Arms".
Knight @Shikora stepped into her place, presenting two raincheck vouchers for a Horse and for a Full Suit of Armor. Squire @cloudkid slid to the side as a horse and a suit were brought into the Great Hall, and a few squires tied the armor on with bungee cords.
"Choose wisely in your name for this horse, Shikora."
It then turned to Knight Vyper (@ShadowVyper), waiting patiently in line with a small snake across their shoulders. The Lieutenant quickly read over the case reporter, setting her coffee mug down as a gavel and making a court declaration.
"With all of the great service you have done to this Kingdom, a Chest of Gold is a fair reward. The naming of your civilian property positions is approved and if you need anything further, bring it up with the Record Keepers."
Then the crowd cleared way to present a man from the outer villages, asking, "Is this the proper place to become a Knight?"
The Lieutenant took a sip of her coffee and leaned out of the chair to look at the recruit stumbling into their hall.
"And what do you wish to declare, sir?"
"I wish to become a Knight."
"Then by the power invested in me by the great Kingdom of Yewis, I present you with these Training Knives, to help with slaying in the Great Green Room. Return to this hall in 10 Green Room Reviews time, with the proper log documentation, of course."
She stepped off the edge of the stage and announced, "Court is adjourned until further need arises. Now excuse me while I go and deal with paperwork."
