Inquiry:

[temptationaccomplished]

[Oh dear. Is he doing this right? Is this where you put this? How does one go about asking about jobs? He's never done this before. He was just...given a sword, given an assignment, sent on his way. Do as you're told and stand over there. That's a good lad.

However, despite the uncertainty in his inquiry, the writing itself is spot on. This is all penned very neatly, with the styling of someone who was once and still is very comfortable writing with a quill--and not in the Modern Hipster Instagram Crafter way, but in a way that has been sculpted by changing influences over time and adapted to suit his personal aesthetic. There's an air of English Roundhand to it, with hints older styles like Chancery in some of the letters. The penmanship is flowing and legible and very old-fashioned, but not quite ancient. Circa late-1700 to mid-1800, so very modern! Someone knows very well that they are DAMN GOOD at pretty writing, missed doing it, and is quite happy to take the opportunity to show off.]




To Whom It May Concern:

I wish to inquire about open job positions available in the area to students. I have over 30 years experience with antique and rare books, including acquisition and preservation of historical and culturally valuable documents. My area of specialty was misprint Bibles, books of prophecy, and first editions. I also have experience crafting illuminated texts, making inks, and binding books using traditional methods.

Any assistance at all is most appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

P.S. I don't suppose there's any need for a food and wine critic, is there?

[Well, Louie's first thought, just upon reading "I wish to inquire about open job positions", is that maybe whoever this is would be useful for his delivery service. However, he decides they don't seem to have the same usefulness as Orisa and Lena, as the young duck continues to read. However, the Business Club did offer a second investment if he wanted to expand things... Hmm.]

I mean, I don't know about critiquing school food, since the options there are limited. But there's restaurants off-campus that people like to check out.

Of course, you'd need a place to print that and share it. Look, I've got business smarts, and more importantly, I've got connections. You seem to know a lot about... Written stuff. I think our best bet is to start up a newspaper for the school.

That's really cool, actually! My friend Twilight would love you. She loves anything and everything to do with ancient books.

Libraries are always looking for help, I'd think, but that newspaper idea is great too.
