The HR Chief

A thousand years of service, one sheet of paper. Every time this drawer opens, another officer disappears.

• The BursarThere is no basis for calculating a length-of-service allowance. I've been saying this for three hundred years.
  The HR ChiefAnd you haven't stamped the same approval in three hundred years either, Chief.
• The Imp ApplicantI-I dream of having my own drawer in there someday...!
  The Veteran ApplicantThat's a thin dream.

In this castle, rumors boil over before the soup pot does. Today's mess-line topic was a thousand-year-old blank sheet of paper.

• The Supply ChiefThat rumor is why a ladle snapped today.
  The HR ChiefDid the rumor snap it, Chief, or did you slam the table?
• The Imp ApplicantI got seconds at the mess today... no one saw.
  The BursarIt's on record in the meal ticket ledger.
