[There's a bit of shaking as Percy fiddles with the phone, getting it in place, and then he appears in frame, peering at it cautiously. When he's certain it's settled, he sits at the desk he's charmed the phone to float in front of, folding his hands on the top. His suit is impeccable: clean, perfectly pressed, tie straight, shirt spotlessly white. His hair, too, is gelled within an inch of its life, and he is, by all appearances, the perfect young professional.]

Good afternoon, residents of the City. My name is Percy Weasley, and I am looking for a gainful employment during my stay here. I am a very organized, detail-oriented, hard worker, with experience in international cooperation as well as working directly with one of the top government officials in Britain. I am an excellent editor and transcriptionist and I have an unmatched mind for rules and regulations. My CV is available on request. Allow me to assure you that if you hire me, you will be getting the very best employee. I look forward to hearing from you.

[A brief smile and a brisk nod, and he ends the transmission.]

Thank you.

[alwaysadoe.livejournal.com]

Have you gotten any leads on a job yet?

[aperfectthird.livejournal.com]

Nothing yet, but I'm hopeful.

I'm afraid I don't have much to offer you but if all else fails, the library here is extraordinary and usually needs people to work in it.

[aperfectthird.livejournal.com]

The library? I'll keep that in mind, thank you. Working with books sounds excellent.

[alwaysadoe.livejournal.com]

I thought you might like that.[Honestly, it's a compliment] I enjoy it there in any case.

[aperfectthird.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's where you work?

[alwaysadoe.livejournal.com]

It is. I've worked here for about a month and a half. There's another young girl that works here as well but to my knowledge that's all the employees.

[aperfectthird.livejournal.com]

That does sound rather ... undermanned, yes. How do you manage?

[alwaysadoe.livejournal.com]

The library is fairly helpful. It's sentient.

[aperfectthird.livejournal.com]

Sentient?

As in, the building itself?

[alwaysadoe.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell. It rearranges the books and rarely gives you what you want to read but rather what it thinks you need to read. It's susceptible to being sweet talked though.

[aperfectthird.livejournal.com]

So it's about as difficult as anything else in this place. That's a very good thing to know.

[alwaysadoe.livejournal.com]

[A bit of a smile.]

Indeed, it is.

[aperfectthird.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the suggestion, Mrs. Potter. I'll keep it in mind.
