[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.]

You should have stayed with that. It makes you look almost likeable.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 10th, 2012 01:29 am (UTC)
Yeah, but Merlin forbid he makes friends while on a job hunt, right, George?
George Weasley: curious[personal profile] onlyholey on January 10th, 2012 01:37 am (UTC)
Right, I forgot that those two never go together.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 10th, 2012 02:00 am (UTC)
Because you've got to absolutely loathe who you work with. Can't get anything done otherwise.
George Weasley: disgusted[personal profile] onlyholey on January 10th, 2012 02:15 am (UTC)
Friendship in the workplace leads to all sort of horrible things, don't you know. Like enjoying yourself.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 10th, 2012 02:18 am (UTC)
What if you ended up fancying someone? Unthinkable.
George Weasley: knowing[personal profile] onlyholey on January 10th, 2012 02:22 am (UTC)
The world would end.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 10th, 2012 02:24 am (UTC)
No, that happens when you shag your co-worker.
George Weasley: serious[personal profile] onlyholey on January 10th, 2012 02:34 am (UTC)
I hope you're not speaking from experience, Ginevra.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 10th, 2012 02:39 am (UTC)
[No, actually. Never. Ugh. How dare you, George, etc.]

What if I was?
George Weasley: ow[personal profile] onlyholey on January 10th, 2012 03:46 am (UTC)
Then I think I'd rather you keep that story to yourself.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 10th, 2012 03:49 am (UTC)
If the world ended with inter-office shagging, we wouldn't be having this conversation. I just wanted to mortify Percy, not both of you.
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 10th, 2012 04:04 am (UTC)
Can you two please stop discussing this? I think I'm going to be ill.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 10th, 2012 04:06 am (UTC)
That's what I was looking for.

So, Perce, thoughts on inter-office shagging? What notes really get passed around on those Ministry memos?

While I've no doubt workplace fraternization occurs, Ministry employees are professional enough to keep it away from the actual workplace.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2012 01:06 am (UTC)
Just because you haven't done it.

[Ginny, just stop right there. Stop it.]
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2012 01:30 am (UTC)
And this conversation is over.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2012 01:32 am (UTC)
[... waaaaaait. Diversion. Is she wrong? Oh Merlin, no, she'd rather be wrong than be right when it comes to Percy and this.]

Haven't you?
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2012 02:09 am (UTC)
I believe I said this conversation was over.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2012 03:41 am (UTC)
You've seen someone in the lifts, I bet.
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 12th, 2012 01:49 am (UTC)
Over.
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 12th, 2012 03:47 am (UTC)
That's a yes, then.

I was going for more 'professional' than likeable.
George Weasley: polyjuice[personal profile] onlyholey on January 10th, 2012 03:45 am (UTC)
Because you have to look completely unlikeable to be employable, eh?
[identity profile] aperfectthird.livejournal.com on January 10th, 2012 04:05 am (UTC)
No, but having completely out of control hair doesn't mean employable.
