RP: First Day at Obscurus
Date: April 3, 1999
Characters: Anthony Goldstein, Mandy Brocklehurst, Ambrose Binder (NPC)
Location: Obscurus Books, Diagon Alley
Status: Private
Summary: Anthony's and Mandy's first day of work.
Completion: Incomplete
Anthony's palms were sweating, and he rubbed them against his robes, wondering if maybe he should've dressed differently for his first day of work. His boss, Mr Binder, was dressed in a Muggle shirt and tie, the tie loose around his neck, the sleeves already rolled to his elbows, though it was only half-eight in the morning.
"This is my office," Binder had announced in the first room they had entered. It was piled nearly to the ceiling with manuscripts, and quills and parchment littered the desk. Anthony wondered how it was possible to find anything in there.
"If you touch anything in here," said Binder, "I shall know, and I shall not be pleased, and I may be forced to rend you limb-from-limb. Shall we continue?"
Anthony gave a look sideways at Mandy Brocklehurst as Mr Binder led them through the halls of Obscurus, pointing out offices, the break room, conference rooms, and other rooms as they went. He remembered Mandy from Ravenclaw, certainly, though they'd never been close. He had been glad to see that she was starting today, too, though--a familiar face made a big difference in this new and unfamiliar world.
"And here's where your desks will be," said Binder, interrupting Anthony's thoughts. They were in a medium-sized room with several desks arranged in an entirely disorganized fashion, some behind cubicles, others pushed together in the centre of the room, most already occupied. Anthony pressed his lips together, a little disappointed. He'd had fantasies of his own office, though he had known those were far-fetched.
