entry 🌻 under new management

Sender: Zelda, Princess of Hyrule
To: Everyone
Subject: Songerein Wikki Archives


[ This is not a message she ever wanted to write, but she's been putting it off for days now and she needs to get it over with. It's been awhile since Zelda's writing in the journals has been so tense and formal. ]

It brings me no joy to announce this, but as of today, I shall be taking over the administration of the Songerein Wikki Archives. The Archives have been a pillar of Reverein for nearly two years now and I intend to honor Trahearne's memory by ensuring its continued operation.

I thank each and every person who has contributed works to the archives and assisted in its growth over the years. To those seeking to submit their authored works, I ask you please wait patiently until this administrative transition is complete.

Any questions may be directed to me. Thank you for your time.

If you need any help with the transition, I'd be happy to assist.

[trahearne had been a friend and zelda is one, as well, so offering what he can feels right.]

[multidisciplinary]

[ Zelda's first instinct is to politely decline Kratos' offer, because she doesn't want to make him go out of his way to just to help her! But she stops herself before she writes anything. ]

Thank you. As long as you don't mind sorting and filing paperwork, your help would be most appreciated. I've yet to fully make sense of Trahearne's organizational scheme.

[flamberge]

Not at all. I've more than enough experience with filing to hopefully make sense of what you couldn't figure out.

[multidisciplinary]

[ If only he could see the way her eyebrows go up when she reads that. ]

Have you? [ Nothing about Kratos says "experienced secretary" to Zelda. ] In that case, you are welcome to join me at your earliest convenience. I fear I shall end up making a larger mess of things before much longer.

[flamberge]

Do you recall the place you visited in my dream? What I did there involved a sizable amount of paperwork and filing alongside my other duties.

[as ludicrous as it sounds, angels have to do paperwork and organize said paperwork. 4000 years means he developed one hell of a filing system, at least.]

I can be by within the hour.

-> action (if u want! handwave also acceptable)

[multidisciplinary]

[ Man, imagine having the rank of "Lord" and still having to do your own paperwork. Lucky for Zelda, in this case. She organizes her own research and papers, but nothing on so large a scale as an entire archive. ]

Thank you, Kratos. I will be in the office when you arrive.

[ Whenever Kratos arrives, he will find that every single surface in the office is covered with a stack of paper, many of which have a note on top written in hastily scrawled Hylian. A number of drawers are open, some with files, some empty. Several boxes are stacked neatly by the door, suggesting even more paperwork to go through. And in the center of it all is Zelda, sitting cross legged on the floor, with an open folder in her lap. ]

(nah, let's action away~)

[flamberge]

[the archives had overall been relatively organized last he'd ventured that way. even in that time, surely things can't be THAT bad. surely? needless to say, stepping inside the office only be met with paper chaos ends up rather surprising. he briefly glances around to assess the situation, before carefully stepping forward.]

I can see why you needed some additional help with this.

[because this is... yeah...]

[multidisciplinary]

[ Zelda looks up when she hears Kratos' voice. Oh thank the Goddess. Any longer and she might actually drown in these papers. ]

I do not understand how this happened. I thought at first it would be a simple task to subdivide a certain grouping into two, but the more files I go through, the more subdivisions I seem to need.

[ She looks forlornly down at the folder in her lap. Please help her...]

[flamberge]

[oh zelda no. more subdivisions only lead to an endless cycle of creating further subdivisions. it's a filing nightmare.

but they can escape this nightmare.]

I see.

[ok. best to start simple. kratos surveys the scene once more before settling his gaze back on zelda.]

Let's begin by trying to create a handful of major categories. If you can tell me what each group is, I can help you figure how many of those would be good to start with.
