[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.]

Is that a - a problem?

[synanthrope]

I don't know. Is it? Don't you want to have fun?

[aperfectthird.livejournal.com]

[...oh, this just got familiar.]

I have fun, thank you. I just didn't list it on my resume, as it is irrelevant to my job search.

[Consider consider]

What do you do for fun?

[aperfectthird.livejournal.com]

I read, mostly.

[synanthrope]

What do you read?

[aperfectthird.livejournal.com]

Some histories, biographies, that sort of thing.

[synanthrope]

I see.

[aperfectthird.livejournal.com]

May I ask if there was a point to this line of questioning?

[synanthrope]

Yes.

[aperfectthird.livejournal.com]

And ... ?

[synanthrope]

And it's given me a great deal of insight on what hiring you might be like.

I sincerely hope it has been helpful.
