Heh. Enforcer it was. How lovely indeed. Hmmm now to size up the lot of them. Maaaan. "Well would it be more... for lack of a better term... efficient to have a Surveyor and an Enforcer teamed up. That way everyone has eyes and a bit of muscle. And if you say one more word about pirates I will throttle you" he said the last in a mutter and gave a pleasant smile.
When Van asked about guarding thoughts Damien just gave a look. Was it not customary for Aurors to be trained in Occlumency around the British Ministry? Meh. He hadn't used it in some time but he was sure he could pick the habit back up. He made no comment. He did however perk up a bit at the idea of being licensed for a second wand. That was interesting. "Yeah... I think Ima need a license for a second wand," he stated simply and gave a decided nod.
Hehe.
At least there was SOMETHING amusing in all of this.
"Efficiency is something I'm a fan of." Damien knew that. Heh. Evander's expression did not change and he returned the pleasant smile, ,though his was more of a smirk around the edges. It was fun teasing his friend.
He didn't miss Damien's look either and offered a wry smile in return, quite sure they'd end up talking in more detail about such things later.
"I'll get that license for you by the end of the day. You'll need to go to Ollivanders to purchase your second wand, we've got an account there." Quote:

It wouldn't have to do anything with her being in that list or another girl would it? Nooooooo....she thought sarcastically and stood up straight keeping her hands to her sides. Keeping her eyes on Evander she didn't bother looking at flirty man. If he tried anything he would be sadly disappointed and probably in pain...it depended on her mood. Keeping her impatience to herself she let her mind wander as to what she needed to do while she kept her ears trained on the discussion a habit she learned working boring, open and shut cases.
Quiet, was Laurie. The way she held her jaw though, indicated to Evander that she wasn't quite so sweet as she appeared on the surface.
He did like it when people could keep their mouths shut though. And she was listening, and that didn't escape his notice either. Precious little did when you were as paranoid as Evander was right now.

Personally, he agreed, but then he had simply learned that the calm never meant anything good. Things had been so simple before the original incident with Gabriel, and then afterward it had simply been a living nightmare. It was tough, and he was just hoping he coudl access the good aspects of what that whole experience had given him without bringing back the insomnia. Espresso could only do so much, and he had a feeling he'd need all of his faculties to navigate whatever seemed to be going on within the Ministry now. He just had to hope it didn't filter outward too much, but then that would be their job. MLES, of course, and that was where they were. "Of course," he said simply, to the description of how they were defining experience, and how they'd all augment each other. Teamwork at its peak.
His grey eyes went to Evander as the assignments were made, then he nodded curtly. That had been somewhat what he'd meant by his earlier comments, but that hadn't meant it would have been the decision. What with the extreme slowness of his division before now. But he'd done rather well in that Ministry-wide activity, so that could have been factored in. Not to mention he imagined if Evander had seen Laurie's file, he'd likely seen his. "I can't say I've had to utilize it the past year or so, but I've had a bit of experience in guarding my thoughts," he said almost nonchalantly, practiced in hiding the truth. At least when it had come to himself. That had probably been the most he'd said about his past in a group like this ever. Hard to break that, but if they were working as a team . . . back to the situation at hand. It definitely seemed like this Gevrik guy was a possible Legilimens, though. Fun. As backup, he leaned forward and palmed one of the small vials. He'd decide on the equipment once he could examine them a little better, not that he didn't trust the new DH. Medical supplies were fairly simple for him to get, not to mention he had Lorelai. And the idea of a second wand stayed in the back of his mind, although he'd rather it not be necessary.
"Might just be my opinion, but I'd suggest Enforcer to Surveyor pairings. Covering all our bases. I mean, we're working as a team all together as well, but that way those of us who are Enforcers can be there if the others have issues. And vice versa, possibly," he said, still almost eerily calm. Defense mechanism. Seemed the new girl, Laurie, was already distrustful of Damien, though. Interesting.
The past year or so? Evander snorted. Yes because apparently there hadn't been anything going on out in the big wide world that would require such skills to be used regularly. The question in Van's mind was who was pulling the wool over the eyes of the entire Ministry? Perhaps even the entire Wizarding World?
"Good to hear it." He nodded as the man took a vial. Thats what they were there for.
He nodded at Dorian's agreement with his own, undisclosed opinion. Quote:

And if she was wrong...
She was looking for someone?
....
A mistake?
Ah well, if she was wrong she would find her way out again. She always did
"That'd be me. Evander Bole." He'd seen her around the office though they'd been different divisions. And of course Van made it his business to put names and faces together.
....
"Ramona Marqueen? Come in. We're nearly done but I'm sure someone will get you up to speed." Perhaps once they all left to secure certain areas, Alysson and Emery would do that. He gestured at one of the available seats. Quote:
Originally Posted by TSnitch Dacs sat back in her chair and said,"Well,it's an excellent tactical move to pair surveyor with Enforcer. You get more covered and you're more effective that way."It was troubling that they had to resort to guarding their own thought. Dacs thought of her little black book which she wrote almost everything in. That would have to be guarded too if this was the situation.
She waved her wand, commanding one of the small vials toward her open hand. Examining it a thought occurred to her, "I don't like the sound of this guy, Evander. I don't like any of this. Defenses around the office, I think should be put in place, because my feeling is that they will be here when we're not. And I will be needing a second wand license."
'If it sounds like a snake and acts like a snake, then it is a snake. I don't like snakes.'Dacs thought, her eyes suddenly turning to a cold brown.
"So we're agreed. Enforcer to Surveyor pairings." Evander nodded once. It had been his intention all along and yet it was important to get feedback, involvement, whatever.
As she took one of the vials he nodded again, grimly. "Yes. My office has been secured already." It wouldn't keep Ikenna Gevrik out but it'd... alert Van to any tampering. "We need to secure the main work areas, level ten and I'd like to send a couple of you to help out on the remainder of level two." Because education flunkies weren't likely to make things safe enough for Evander's standards, or likely those of any of his new staff.
"Damien and Laurie, Dorian and Prometheus, Emery with Alysson and Ben with Dacs. Thats right, you've got yourself partners. Surveyor to Enforcer." He turned his attention to Ramona, "Until we get a few more hands available, I'll work with you. You'll be a Surveyor, though I'll have you work with another pair right now." He still had things to do after all.
He cleared his throat.
"Firstly, though I'm sure I don't need to, I will clarify here and now what I mean by Surveyor and Enforcer so that there is no excuse for misunderstanding later." Because excuses were laaaaame and not something Evander'd accept.
"Enforcers are those of you with Auror or Hitwizard training. If you've been working in Auror HQ, MLES or Counterfeit Magic and Equipment Control, you'll be an Enforcer. That'll go for anyone else too. You're the muscle, you're the firepower, you're the ones I expect to bring in the troublemakers. Your training, or at least that which you should have undergone, should mean that your skills with stealth and tracking, concealment and disguise, and of course, offensive battle skill will put you in a position to take action where needed." He went quiet and looked around, meeting the eyes of those who fit that description.
"Surveyors are those of you who know how to look deeper. The ones who can follow the leads, investigate, understand and build a case where required. Look for patterns. Talk to people. Find things out and work with your partner to get things done. Your understanding of the law, and of the criminal mindset, will be particularly useful." Both were really important roles in Evander's eyes.
"While you have partners, we are a team and should work together where possible. Above all else, you are still what you were hired as, be it Auror, Wizengamot defender, MLES... And this, this special force, it is not common knowledge. Need to know only." So no discussing it over coffee in the break room.
"For starters we need to finish securing our level, and level ten." So, right away they had mini assignments. Important though. "Emery and Alysson if you two and Ramona would secure the conference room and work areas here in our department. Ben and Dacs, if you two could go to see Tatelyn Beauchamp, she's the head of Education right here on level two, and offer your services securing that department if she requires it. Damien and Laurie, if you'll take care of the corridor and public areas of level two. And Dorian and Prometheus, if you two wouldn't mind heading to level ten and securing things there."
He let them disgest all that.
"By securing I of course mean being sure there is no spying equipment or charms hidden anywhere, and establishing your own. Especially charms and wards that will alert us to unauthorized intruders. Take whatever equipment you need," He indicated the detectors on the table, "But naturally your own wand will be the most effective tool." Assuming they were all able to manage a few simple (or hopefully not so simple) detection and warding spells. "By the end of the day, please, people."
And they were done.
"Before you go, take a vial and any detectors you need, and anyone else requiring a license to carry a second wand, please let me know now so that I can get that for you by the end of the day." ooc: have fun RPing in those areas, securing them, checking them, RPing amongst yourselves. Feel free to get distracted or whatever along the way. For the purpose of this lets say to get it done by Mondayish or there abouts. And there are more 'missions' outside of the ministry as you guys return. Questions OOC? Feel free to PM me! Questions IC? Feel free to have your charrie ask 'em. Feel free to have your charrie uncover suspicious things, spying devices etc.
Assignments again:
Emery and Alysson, (and Ramona) secure the conference room and work areas here in our department.
Ben and Dacs see Tatelyn Beauchamp and offer your services securing that department
Damien and Laurie,corridor and public areas of level two.
Dorian and Prometheus level ten corridor and courtrooms
