The Imp Applicant

Submitted my twenty-seventh application. Didn't set my tail on fire this time. Mostly.

• The HR ChiefMostly?
  The Imp Applicant...Just the corner of the table got a little scorched.
• The Supply ChiefSupply is not paying for that table!!
  The BursarEquipment damage is the applicant's liability. I've logged it in the ledger.

A new notice went up. Driving a new nail right over the old holes, this wall must know rejection too.

• The Veteran ApplicantThat nail hole is a thousand years old.
  The Imp ApplicantA thousand years...? Then that notice has been waiting longer than me.
• The HR ChiefYou're the one who's stood in front of that wall the longest. I've got it on record.
  The Imp ApplicantOn record?! I-is that a good thing?!
