Wry Functionary and Regretful Soldier

I trying to become a PoSI and I have no idea how to get acquaintance Wry Functionary or Regretful soldier.

Wry functionary can be gotten froma rare success on cards with the civil service. The regretful soldier is on a card in watchmakers hill, you need to talk him down first.

What card for Watchmakers Hill is it?

Deal with a drunk old soldier.

It can take a while to appear. Draw all your cards in Watchmakers until he shows up.

Okay thanks.

Specifically, the cards are http://fallenlondon.wikia.com/wiki/Cards_with_the_Civil_Service
and http://fallenlondon.wikia.com/wiki/Deal_with_a_drunk_old_soldier .

According to the wiki, once you’re a PoSI there’s an additional way to meet the Wry Functionary with http://fallenlondon.wikia.com/wiki/A_Friendly_Face but I have not done that myself.

I’ve met Functionary in the POSI way @Amalgamate posted about. Meeting Soldier wasn’t hard. It took me 1 whole 20 actions recharge time which i spent sitting at Watchmakers and checking and discarding new cards.

I have been drawing cards trying to get the civil service card, and I just realized that I have name signed with a flourish 7 (you need 3-5). So are there any other ways to get acquaintance: Wry Functionary (besides the PoSI way, I’m doing it to become a PoSI)?
