mylittlejamjar | 6th Sign: For science! Or magic. Magic science. [Visual]

I understand many of you may be busy at the moment, so I will attempt to keep this brief. For those of you who don't know, I work with the Equestrian Magic Foundation in studying the ongoing phenomenon of outsiders being drawn into this universe and the accompanying polymorph into various local fauna. My grant with the foundation this year has increased substantially, but it comes with a few more expectations, the scope of which will be challenging to handle myself.

Thus, I am in the position to hire one or two assistants so that I may focus on the research itself. Duties will include regular travels to the Canterlot library, material acquisition, setting and cleaning up experiments, handling of potentially dangerous magical materials, scribe work, and miscellaneous errands. I do not require you to have previous experience in magical research, and I will set aside time to train you. The work isn't terribly difficult, and as long as you follow proper procedure, I can ensure no harm will come to you. If you are interested, contact me here on the scrolls or stop by the Ponyville library.

That will be all for now. Thank you.

[So much for 'brief'.]

[Energetic, but Patchy is far more patient with children than she is with adults.]

It is no issue. Let me know if you have further questions.

Sure! Um...

[It's only just hitting her that introductions are not a thing that happened.]

Wait, what's your name? I'm Rise!

[Don't worry. Patchy forgets all the time.]

Patchouli Knowledge, Librarian of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

[Full title is very important.]

[There's a small pause and a blink before Rise perks up and smiles again.]

Nice to meet you, Patchouli-san!

[Because 'Knowledge-san' just sounds awful, and Rise's not super polite enough to lastname everyone.]

[Either way, Patchy's fine with it. She rarely calls people by name, herself.]

And you, as well. I shall see you this weekend.
