[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.]

I've this guide that Miss Ariadne gave me, but no, I haven't posed the question to the network at large.

You've a specific question? You haven't tried me yet, have you?

...no. I suppose it didn't occur to me.

Go on, then. I've only been here three years.

All right.

[A moment, as he gathers his thoughts.]

What is the source of the ticking noise?

The clock.

Supposedly it's under the City, though most people find it difficult to get to the centre of it all. There are monsters in the Underground and it's sort of a maze down there, so the City's defending it quite a bit. As for what it does or means, Merlin knows. I've heard people say the ticking's a countdown to the end of all the worlds, but... There've been times when the ticking's stopped entirely and you lot still turned up from home, so maybe it isn't that.

How long has it ever gone without ticking?
[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com on January 19th, 2012 04:20 am (UTC)
I'm not sure. A few days, maybe.

And what happened during that time?
