[ The video feed turns on to a pony... er, human... with purple hair with lighter purple streaks. She appears excited about something. ]

All right, all right. I think I've just about maxed out my hours in the library, so I'm ready to look for something else to occupy myself. And, er, earn some money. To buy books.

So! This is my official job inquiry. Does anypony have any open positions that requires a pony of modest talent? My special talent is... well, magic, but what that translates to here is that I do research, I have an excellent memory, and I have a good grasp of logic! I have work experience as a librarian, and... Okay, that's about it.

[ There's a pause as Twilight looks excitedly into the camera, bouncing on her heels. Then- ]

Soooo. Any jobs openings for somepony like me?

Welllll, two bookstores, about half of the houses for the other districts, and one or two restaurants. Why?

Because you've been here as long as I have and you don't know where the other bookstores are.

Well, I haven't actually had money to buy books......

Well, the library does have the best selection. All the stores are pretty small. If you're trying to save money though it'd be kind of dumb to work in a bookstore.

But... if I did work in a book store, I might be able to get a discount!

So you'd just buy more books. Unless you just want money for books anyway, then I guess it doesn't matter.

Well, I would like money for other things as well. But books are still important.

If you want money for other stuff, don't work in a bookstore. At least if you work in the library the books are free.

[Iceland does at least like talking with someone who just automatically realizes the importance of books.]
learns: Clutching a book and smiling slightly (This is the book I was looking for)

Thank you for the advice. I will certainly keep it in mind!

[ Isn't it nice to talk to people who are sincere and polite and also nerdy? ]
volcanoes: (don't ask long for little)

[Iceland is always kind of thrown off by her sincerity; he's much more used to at least some level of mockery and sarcasm at all times.]

Yeah, well... If you can't find anything I can probably sneak you into the library and find you one of the grey workers to talk to about a job. If you can't find anything else, I mean.

...So good luck, or something, I guess.
