Text Cut: floor plan

Welcome to the flat of Veer Luis Harjit Correia, located above Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions!

As you enter through the front door, the first thing your eyes land upon is a closed door which houses the sole closet of your studio flat. The closet is charmed to be able to hold far more belongings than what one could assume without taking too much additional space over the shop below. To the left of the closet, is the open living space. This is your living room/bedroom combo, and is well lit with a large sliding glass door that opens out into a deck overlooking the alley. The window is charmed to keep any onlookers from being able to see inside, however a curtain can always be a welcome addition to the overall cheer and hominess.

Across from the living area is the small kitchenette. Amenities include a dishwasher, 4 burner stove top, fridge and plenty of cabinets. The cabinets themselves are not overly deep, however they can be charmed to hold more if needed - either by the tenant or one of the rental experts at the shop. Through the kitchen is also where the bathroom can be located. Bath boasts a single porcelain sink, bath and shower combo and an upgraded toilet.

Welcome to your new cozy home! On the ample counter space in the kitchen, a brochure for Nesting Occamy with phone numbers for leasing agents and maintenance for any issues that may arise can be located.

Hello, SnitchSeeker!

Recently we became aware of a potential vulnerability that may affect SnitchSeeker and could compromise the site's functionality and security.

We are working with our tech admin to address the situation. As a precaution, we may need to take the site offline in the coming days to assess the issue and implement any necessary measures to protect the site and its members.

Everyone is strongly encouraged to take a few moments to save copies of any posts, roleplays, character biographies, or other content you wish to preserve. This is a precaution; we want to make sure you have your own copies of anything important to you, just in case. We recommend doing this as soon as possible, as access to the site may become temporarily unavailable with little additional notice. We understand that SnitchSeeker holds many years' worth of memories and creative contributions, and we want to allow everyone to preserve anything particularly meaningful to them.

Your understanding and patience is appreciated as we work through this situation. We will share further updates as more information becomes available.

The SnitchSeeker Admin Team

The Divination classroom is prepared for another lesson with Professor Curious, with three seemingly blank canvases on easels sitting at the front of the class near her desk. On the other side, a whiteboard displays the day's topic in neat cursive:

Professor Curious stands near the canvases, waiting for her students to settle before beginning. Her face radiates its usual warmth, a reflection of her love for teaching. Perhaps this warmth is partially responsible for combatting the frigid weather, for Heating Charms also ensure that the classroom is comfortable. The seating arrangement remains the same for this lesson: individual chairs and desks. Grab yourself one for Sarika will be starting things off soon!


OOC: Welcome to this term’s Divination lesson! Please ensure that you have read the Rules and Guidelines, paying particular attention to the first rule that falls under the OOC category: labelling your posts with your student's name and House. A gentle reminder to also keep your character's chatter to a minimum. In addition, while this is the only OOC lesson for the term, IC-wise, it would not be the first/only being held ^_^ CLASS HAS STARTED!

See you guys back here soon-ish!

GET HIRED BY THE MINISTRY TODAY!

Are you at least 17 years of age and seeking employment? Why not consider a future with the Ministry of Magic?

It's the new year (IC January) in the SnitchSeeker site-wide RPGs, and that means that the Ministry of Magic is going on a brief hiatus and closing its doors (meaning members will no longer have access to the Ministry of Magic RPG forums, although IC the Ministry would still be open for operation and employees still hard at work) until placement comes to an end. This means that from now until October 25th you can have AS MANY adult characters apply for a job at the Ministry of Magic as you'd like simply by filling out this placement questionnaire. Before submitting your questionnaire, make sure you are familiar with the Ministry of Magic RPG rules and general FAQ. And don't worry, the Ministry will be back up and operational once we ring in the New Year IC in the site-wide RPGs!

You can apply for IC (in-character) employee positions in the Ministry of Magic with as many of your characters by filling out the placement questionnaire. Please see this thread for more information on this expansion to the Ministry of Magic RPG.

The questionnaire itself can appear daunting, so here is a very basic guide and example for how to fill it out. The Job Listings thread is also available to you to use as a reference. Remember that, unless otherwise specified, this questionnaire should be filled out entirely in-character (IC)! The more information and detail you provide, the better!

OWLs and NEWTs are only one example of the information you can include here. If supplying OWLs and NEWTs scores, remember that it is not necessary to have perfect scores in all subjects to get a job at the Ministry of Magic. As a matter of fact, it helps us better place you if you give us strengths AND weaknesses. Knowing what your character is best at and what he/she isn't so great at helps lead us to the department best suited for your character.

If providing OWL/NEWT scores, please don't provide something like "6 OWLs, 5 NEWTS." We need to know the subjects to help us figure out which department is best for you. Possible test scores are as follows:

Pass Grades
Outstanding (O)
Exceeds Expectations (E)
Acceptable (A)

Fail Grades
Poor (P)
Dreadful (D)
Troll (T)

7. Please list your strengths and weaknesses.
Strengths: I'm really good at making and achieving goals I set for myself. Once I put my mind to something, I work hard at it until the job gets done. I'm very knowledgeable about anything dealing with the outdoors, and I have a deep care for the wildlife around me. I get along well with others and am comfortable working with a partner, a team, or by myself.

Weaknesses: I don't like to stay in one place for too long; therefore, a desk job wouldn't be right for me. I get bored with paperwork, and if that's all I was assigned to do, I'd lose my ambition really quickly. I like to protect wildlife; however, I tend to shy away from jumping headfirst into dangerous situations involving people.

8. If you are applying for a specific position in the Ministry, please list it here.
I am not.

9. Please list any crimes, wizarding or muggle, including the nature of the offense, the date committed, and sentence served.

Ministry Placement is a lengthy process for the Ministry of Magic RPG team as each questionnaire is first reviewed by an SSRPG admin and then by each respective department head, so please be patient after submitting. We're a thorough lot when finding the right job for your character, so it may be UP TO A WEEK before you hear back from us.

Who can take the Ministry Placement Questionnaire?

• Members! All members can apply. You need only to get your ten legitimate posts first. No RPG experience required.
• If you are not currently a Ministry employee and would like to be, then now is the time!
• If you ARE currently a Ministry employee but wish to change departments and characters, retake the questionnaire using your new character.
• If you ARE currently a Ministry employee with only one character at the moment and wish to add more, fill out this questionnaire. Please note that this will be assumed to be the case for any member with only one character currently employed in the Ministry who fills out this questionnaire. If this is not the case, please specify so in the appropriate OOC field.
• If you ARE currently a Ministry employee and wish to change characters within the same department, please contact your department head directly. There is no need to fill out this questionnaire.
• Likewise, if you wish to have your current character considered for another job, a promotion, or another department, please contact your current department head directly or the SSRPG admins (Charely Potter or sweetpinkpixie). Note that promotions will typically come IC from your department head with character longevity and reliability.

What happens after I take the Ministry Placement Questionnaire?

• Your questionnaire will be carefully looked over by an SSRPG admin before being passed on to the appropriate department head.
• Once the department head has your questionnaire, it is their turn to carefully look it over to assign your character an appropriate job within the department.
• Once the department head has given your character a job, they will PM you, welcoming you to their department, and provide you with details on which position your character has earned.
• After a SSRPG admin has received confirmation of this PM being sent by the department head, your Ministry of Magic tag will appear (if you are new to the Ministry). So keep an eye on your inboxes!
• A new profile field has been added to your user pages to list all your Ministry employee characters if you wish to utilize it. These character names and their assigned departments will no longer appear in your postbit, however.

If you have questions, you are free to ask them right here, in this thread. You can also contact any one of the Department Heads or an SSRPG Admin via PM, and we'll be more than happy to help :yoshi:

Good luck & happy placement! We look forward to hearing from you.
