ArchiellanTroopSchedule

Pages, Squires and Knights operate in three shifts, time-shifted by eight hours. Taditionally, this varies by year; for 985, Harmonists are assigned to the "morning" shift, Oblivists take the "afternoon" shift, and Ataxians are assigned to the "night" shifts. However, this is highly dependent on availability -- it is essential that the shifts balance out. The schedule presented here is in logic time, starting at wakeup; for the previous shift, subtract 8 hours, for the next shift, add 8 hours. Normally, things are set up so that the afternoon shift wakes up at noon. Times are from Beacon Zone Time, not Solar Time, although they've been doing a decent job at keeping in sync lately.

Formal meals are light, and used mostly as a way for everyone to catch up with the grapevine; Archiella has no food scarcity problem, so people are encouraged to snack as they work. In particular, squires and knights must not eat much, so great care is taken to make sure that what they do eat is of the highest quality.

This is an ideal schedule; in practice, it is seldom observed in its entirety, depending on what there is to do on the heighliner or her attendant ships. Squires and Knights on missions are encouraged to set time aside for devotions and musical practice as time allows; Squires sent out without a Knight supervising them are often asked to perform upon returning, to make sure they have kept in practice.

Devotions generally happen during time set aside for music, at start or end according to the day of the month, which changes for each of the three traditions.

StartEndActivity
07:3008:00Reveille and shower / sponge bath, depending on how much clean water is available.
08:0008:30Meal (breakfast for this shift, lunch for the earlier shift, dinner for the latter shift). Help this shift into their armors and if necessary help the last shift out of it.
08:3010:30Musical practice (choir or instrument). The first session of the day is highly formal and for pages segues naturally into study time.
10:3014:00First work period of the day. This is when the main workload for the day gets dealt with; pages study, learn and do maintenance, and prepare food, squires complete their education and start taking on patrol duties, knights patrol and supervise loading bay security.
13:4514:15First shift Meal, as those on patrol would be unable to take their meal at the same time, so it is broken into two parts, effectively.
14:0014:30Meal (lunch for this shift, dinner for the earlier shift, breakfast for the latter shift).
14:1514:45Second shift Meal for patrol duties.
14:3018:30Second work period of the day. This is generally wrap-up time, and is used by the outgoing shift to ease the incoming shift in.
18:3019:30Musical practice (small ensemble or solo). The second session of the day is less formal, and traditionally, this is the time during which everyone is treated as an equal.
19:3020:00Meal (dinner for this shift, breakfast for the earlier shift, lunch for the latter shift).
20:0024:00Free time, save for emergencies or disciplinary duty. Jamming sessions are encouraged.
