Leave and Vacation Office

[Reliant]

The small office was a single, one roomed building in the cluster of buildings in the district that made up the Base Headquarters. This was located fairly near to the gates of the base itself, and contained the Commander's office, among other things. The office was probably one of the most frequented on the base, since all soldiers were required to go there if they wanted time off, be they either a private or the Commander himself.

It had been built of stone, as most of the buildings in the district were, and had a very square and boxy like appearance. The one window the building sported had a very small window box under it, stained a dark green colour. In the spring, it would often holding simple, yet colourful flowers such as pansies. In the winter months, the box would contain nothing but neatly raked over soil.

As usual, the door to the office had been propped open for easy access, and inside the place looked surprisingly homey. A few chairs had been lined up along the wall for people who were waiting to be served, each with a comfy padded seat and a ladder back. There was also one in front of the desk itself, naturally, because everyone was required to fill out a form when applying for leave, and that was hard to do standing up.

The desk itself was made out of the same wood as the chairs, and was fairly small, and, surprisingly, free of paperwork. In the right hand corner towards the back of the room stood a small wooden cabinet, were all applications for leave were filed once they had been either approved or rejected.

The uniform of the clerk behind the desk depicted him as a Corporal of the guard. The leave officer was human, and probably somewhere in his late sixties. Overall, he was quite reputed as a kindly soul, and quite enjoyed his job behind the desk. Not being as young as he used to be, Corporal Jones preferred it to being out on patrol all the time. His hair was a dark grey colour, through age, and his eyes were blue. He always had a ready smile available for any visitors to the office.

"Serale. Are you here to apply for leave? Or are you reporting back after a period of absence?"
