[Just released from the hospital and using a cane, and look who's already back at the shop! He's moving a little more slowly than usual and takes a while to get upstairs, but he's still selling magical jokes and japes at the newly re-opened Wheezes, just in time for Christmas.]

[Ginny reads the post over his shoulder at the shop, coming in from the back room, and crosses her arms.]

Am I allowed to apply?

[friggmagnet]

What's the pay like?

[ She'd caught the post on the network and she did something to fill her time so have a teenager poking her head through the door sometime after it's sent out.]

Hello?

[aperfectthird]

No, you've already got too much on your plate. Anyway, you can hardly apply for a position at a place you co-own.

[aperfectthird]

It depends on your previous experience in retail, but I believe it's comparable to other stores in the City, perhaps a bit more.

[aperfectthird]

Good afternoon. Welcome to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. Can I help you find anything?

[glass_not_ruby]

There was something about a job?

Are you still looking?

[voice;]

[unflagging]

Hi--I'm calling about the job I saw posted on the Network earlier.

[friggmagnet]

I've not done, like, shops before and stuff but I worked for my brother for a while. And I've done like some magic shit and whatever.

Well, uh, I'm good at sellin' stuff. You need more than one assistant?

[beyourarmy]

[He'd finally made some time to look at the shop he had heard about before. Curiously he looks around, until he notices Percy. Then he opens his big mouth.]

What is it with people I know being unable to rest when they're injured? You need some help?

[aperfectthird]

[dskspfk LANGUAGE PLEASE.]

Can you clarify on your past experience with magic?

[aperfectthird]

I am. I'm Percy Weasley.

[He holds out his free hand.]

[voice;]

[aperfectthird]

It's a pleasure to hear from you, Mr. ... ?

[aperfectthird]

The store is quite busy during the holidays, so I could use a fair amount of help. What previous experience do you have, Mr. ... ?

[voice;]

[unflagging]

Fletcher. Rory Fletcher--sorry, should have said that sooner.

[friggmagnet]

[Sorry it's a given with the Johnsons.]

I haven't really done any myself yet. Like, not on purpose. I'm sort of normally a bloke and stuck like this right now. But I have to deal with other gods who do magic and stuff all the time. Especially Loki.

[look, Setsuna, if he just sits around his flat all day then he has time to think. working is better, hurt or not.]

I am looking for shop assistants, if you're interested in the position.

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

[Excellent question. Jimmy grins widely, so as to hide his slight discomfort with the question.]

Well, I was in the military, so I'm real good at doin' things promptly and followin' what I'm told. After I got outta the military, I helped with some imports and exports. Did some drivin', some distribution of product, settin' up sales, even some body guard type work.

[She grins at him, resting her head against the doorframe.]

If I'm my own boss, then I can do whatever I want, can't I?

[voice;]

[aperfectthird]

Mr. Fletcher. What previous experience do you have in retail?

[aperfectthird]

[o

kay.]

You mentioned helping your brother earlier? What sort of help did you provide?

Video

[aperfectthird]

That's certainly useful experience for the shop. Do you have any magical skill?

action;

[aperfectthird]

If you apply for the job, I can promise you you're not going to get it.

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

Nah, never even actually seen magic, I don't think. Well, 'cept for what the City throws at us, but, y'know, that's kinda different.
