As you push to door that will lead you toward the fifth floor. A huge sign is up saying Tearoom and Hospital Shop. You find yourself in a rather quiet environment. Maybe a little bit too quiet… Not sure what to do you look around to see if they are any immediate danger. Torn between the urge of turning around you also know that you it’s impossible. You have to face whatever was coming.

As you venture a little further you notice three things: the elevator directly in front of you; and a small hall on either side you look. First as you look closer to the elevator you noticed that the wall next to it have tiny holes in it like if someone had thrown something at it, or worst punch on it.

Down one hall, the one to your left suddenly you a faint noise - maybe someone dropped something? If you look a bit closer you could see a very old woman who seems to be searching for something. The only question you could have is, it is safe to go help her?... After all you have been through to get there, it wouldn’t be surprising.

Coming from the hall on your right what sounds like a tea pot whistling erupts, breaking the silent atmosphere you had moments before.

As Paul made his way up to the fifth floor, Lexi in tow, he noticed how incredibly quiet it was. He blinked as he looked around. Where was everyone? "Umm, hello?" he said as he walked down the hallway. After a few moments he heard the sounds of someone looking for something and noticed a woman looking around frantically. "Excuse me, can we help you?" he asked politely as he walked up to her.

Lexi sqealed as Paulie was given the key to the next floor. She bounced up and down a few times in pure excitement and then began the walk up to the next level. As she and Paulie pushed open the door, the first thing Lexi noticed was a sign which read Tearoom and Hospital Shop. Oh, well, this looked like a cute little level of this hospital. Lexi shook her head, though. She can't have thoughts like that. Nothing about the hospital was "cute" today.

Lexi stopped walking as soon as she got in. Even though she wasn't walking any louder than usual, her footsteps still echoed loudly in the oddly quiet room. "Paulie?" Lexi whispered. "I don't think there's anyone...or anything here but us." She grabbed ahold of her boyfriend's hand, a little scared of something suddenly jumping out and getting her.

Lexi shrugged and walked a few steps further. "Geez, someone's given that wall a good beating," Lexi muttered, nodding her head in the direction of the holes punctured into the wall. Finally, Lexi noticed a woman---a very old woman---who appeared to be looking around for something. Lexi jumped as she suddenly heard a teapot whistle break the silence, banging her head on a nearby wall corner in the process. "Ouch!"

"Erm, excuse me, ma'am?" Lexi asked, rubbing her head. "I'm Lexi, and this is my boyfriend, Paul. Can we help you somehow?"

The break tearoom door opened, making the whistling louder until the young woman stepped out, almost slamming the door closed behind her out of frustration. She couldn't make the teapot stop, unless she ruined the perfectly good hot water! In which cause she would have to wait even longer.
Flicking a strand of hair from her face, Artemis huffed. As she headed away from the room, navy blue eyes that were fixed on the floor below her feet moved to see what was infront of her, feeling as though she wasn't alone. Sure enough, somehow she hadn't acknowledged a pair of humans in the hall at first. Why where they here? Artemis didn't know.

Overhearing a question asked, meaning for Miss Larson to answer, she shook her head stopping a few feet from them. "Your patients, you don't help staff. You need to get back to your rooms!" She insisted, eyebrows raised in confusion. How did they get to the fifth floor?! Obviously some staff members weren't doing there jobs.

Paul wrinkled his eyebrows and frowned at a young woman who had seemed to appear out of nowhere. She was obviously of hospital staff as well, only she wasn't acting too loony at the moment. Maybe she was one of the sane people around here. "We're not patients...we're here to help you. Or her," he added, pointing to the woman who was still searching for whatever it was she was looking for.

Lexi jumped again and whirled around as a door swung open and a young woman stepped out. That must have been where the whistling teapot was, because the sound got louder and louder as the door opened. Lexi flinched a bit at the loud noise, but seeing as she didn't want to offend anyone, she quickly stopped flinching and just watched the young woman instead. Besides, she'd shut the door, so the whistling wasn't that bad anymore anyway.

When the young woman looked up and noticed Lexi and Paul, Lexi gave a polite wave and smile. "Em, no ma'am, we're not patients. We're actually hear to assist you. Well, you and your friend over there," Lexi said, nodding in the older woman's direction. "She seems to be looking for something. Do you think she needs some help?" Lexi asked.

Artemis stared at the two for a moment as the man explained they weren't patients. Her expression never changed, if anything it shown her obvious confusion even more. Childlike puzzlement, almost.. "I don't think you have your information correct, Sir" The twenty-two year old spoke politely, in a small, shy voice. "Someone must have told you wrong, we need no help. Thankyou, anyways. Are you sure your not patients?" She asked, lips pressing together in a concerned line. "Maybe I should find my mommy, she's a healer here.." She eyed the two warily, trying to make up her mind on how to handle this. 'Mommy' wouldn't be pleased if she let patients wander around without getting help. "Or are you really just visitors?"

Miss Larson was busy. She was cleaning what appear to be already clean. Everything was at their right place but somehow it wasn't right for her. Nothing seems right. "Dirty... dirty... Everything is so dirty..." She was mothering under her breath no aknowledging those around her. It took Artemis to took her out of her little world.

"ARTIE!!! I NEED SOME TEA!!!" Turning her head toward the two strangers she gasped. What were they implying. Did they offer their helps because they thought she wasn't good enough. She was rather old yes but not she still could work. Glaring at them as much as she could she hmpf at them. "Help me you say... HELP ME!!! WHY WOULD I POSSIBLY NEEDS HELP!!!"

Artemis beamed as the elderly woman addressed her; The young woman was, naturally, one step ahead. Tea was already being prepared. Turning to look in the direction of the tearoom, she was even more happy the awful whistling stopped. "Much better," She murmured to no one except herself. Now she could finish making the tea, without there being that ear peircing sound in the background. "Yes Miss Larson, I'll go get that now!" Artemis replied happily, skipping back down the hall she came from and into the quiet room.

The door opened several moments later, a table and chairs hovering through the doorway and towards the two she hoped were visitors and the lovely, sweet old woman that ran the hospital gift shop. The rather small brunette followed after, carrying a tray holding the teapot, cups and saucers which she brought to the self-set table.

Tea time in the middle of the St. Mungo's fifth floor. Yeah. Everything was completely normal there..

Lexi looked back and forth between Paulie, the younger woman, and the older woman, not sure what to do or say next. The younger woman definitely didn't believe them, that was for sure. She and Paulie better get to thinking fast if they wanted to stay here and not get kicked out. Lexi blinked in shock as the younger woman told Paulie he must not have his information correct. Oh, no! Lexi could feel it coming on---they were about to get kicked out! "I...erm, this is the tearoom and hospital shop for visitors, right?" Lexi quickly asked. "I'd like to see what the shop has to offer. What do you recommend for someone who needs a great deal of cheering up?" Lexi asked. "And yes, I'm sure that I'm not a patient."

A movement caught Lexi's eye, and she turned to see the older woman cleaning what appeared to be already clean items. Lexi shook her head in confusion and narrowed her eyes. Dirt? She didn't see any dirt. Then again...this was St. Mungo's. There was something fishy going on. Lexi watched the woman for a few more seconds, trying to figure out what she was doing.

When the older woman suddenly yelled out to the younger woman, Lexi jumped and bumped her head---AGAIN---on the same corner. "Ahh...OW!" Lexi exclaimed again. If she didn't watch out, she really would end up being a patient. When Lexi came to her senses again, the older woman was yelling at Lexi and Paul about not needing help. "Erm, actually...ma'am," Lexi said. "I was kind of hoping you did need some help. You see, I'm Lexi, and this is my boyfriend, Paulie. We're here visiting a dear friend, and I've grown rather stir crazy. I came up here to see what your shop had to offer and to see if you had any tea. I should could use something nice to drink."

Lexi just watched as conversation went on between the younger woman, who Lexi thought was named Artie, and the older woman, who Lexi thought was named Miss Larson. "Lexi smiled as Artie agreed to get Miss Larson some tea. Lexi wondered if Artie had heard her ask Miss Larson for tea earlier. It sure would be nice to have a cup of that tea, too.

Soon enough, a table and chairs came hovering through the doorway right towards Paulie and Lexi. "Oh...wow!" Lexi exclaimed. "How inviting! Miss, would Paulie and I be able to sit and have some tea before seeing what your shop has to offer?" she asked.

Artemis could have squealed with delight, and almost did, unable to restrain her own excitement when the woman asked if it were alright she and the man joined them for tea. That was perfect, she didn't even have to ask to have a tea party, it was forming on its own! "Yes please, come sit!" She exclaimed, quietly. She couldn't be silly and forget there was patients trying to get rest, after all.

With the tray set on the table she began moving the teapot and cups with their saucers under them onto the table, flicking her wand at the tray once she was done to make it vanish in thin air. While she busied herself pouring the steaming hot liquid, Artie glanced up to look at Miss Larson. "If mommy asks, I didn't move these Miss Larson" She said, indicating the table (and obviously the chairs as well). A slight sneakily playful smile spread upon her lips, turning into a sweet one to match her tone as she spoke up again, attention shifting onto the couple, "I'm Artemis Galanis, Miss and Mister. And that's Miss Larson" gesturing to the elderly woman as she introduced her.

Miss Larson didn't even noticed the time where Artie was gone and when she got back. She was too busy throwing box over her shoulder. At one point she almost caught the woman (Lexi) with it. With each boxes she was throwing you could ear that something glassy was breaking inside. It didn't seems to bother her at all. "Boxes here... boxes there... boxes everywhere... What am I?.... I'm not the dumpster for crying out loud!!"

She then turned as she was now smelling the good and delicious tea. "Marvelous!!" Taking her cup of tea she took only one sip of it and throw it on the wall behind her. "Very good tea Artie, very good one. I have to say that nobody else can make them as good as you." By her reaction, it seems that it was normal for her to throw things away. She wasn't angry or in a crazy mood she was a little nervous.

Her eyes glanced toward the two strangers. As she was listening to one of them asking her for something to buy she went a little nuts. "You want something to buy are you?... I don't have anything but boxes, lots and lots of boxes... Perhaps your friend wants box?" As she said that she was pointing on the counter. Several items were there like flowers and cup with the name of the hospital on it but it seems that she wasn't aware of it. Nothing was really there in her mind.

Paul gave Lexi a grateful smile as she made up a random on the spot lie to tell the two nurses. "Thanks so much for allowing us to have tea with you!" he said with a grin, overacting just a teensy bit. Maybe it was time to turn the charm on a bit--after all, he was quite notorious for his communication with the female species. "And it's very nice to meet you Miss Larson, and Miss Galanis," he said, addressing them both in turn. "This is such a cozy little tea room up here...it must have taken you ages to make it this quaint."

His attention was suddenly drawn to the other nurse, the one with the boxes, and he blinked. Did he want a box? He glanced at Lexi for a split second before making up his mind. Couldn't do him any harm, could it? "Sure, I'll have a box, if you have one you're willing to part with," he muttered softly, unsure of what the right response to a question like that was.

Lexi smiled when she saw how thrilled Artie seemed to be that Lexi and Paul were wanting to join her for tea. Lexi nodded when Artie directed her to a chair at the table. "Oh, thanks! That's incredibly nice of you!" Lexi said. "It's really been such a long day here at the hospital. I'm actually pretty tired and thirsty. This should do the trick!" Lexi took her seat and nodded at the empty chair next to her for Paulie to sit down.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Galanis and Miss Larson. I'm Lexi Greingoth and this is Paul Kutcher," she explained.

Lexi blinked and ducked a little as a box nearly hit her in the head. Geez. That was all Lexi needed---to get hit in the head a third time! She'd already hit her head twice on her own, and now Miss Larson was going to see to it that she hit it a third. Oh, no! Lexi's eyes popped open and she gave Paul a startled look as she heard the sound of breaking glass. Was there...oh, no! "Miss Galanis, what's in the boxes?" Lexi asked, still watching Miss Larson toss the boxes around.

Now Miss Larson was coming over to get her tea. Good. Maybe she'd settle down for a moment and stop breaking things...or not. After about one sip, Miss Larson tossed the cup, breaking it against the wall. Guess she's not too fond of glass...

Miss Larson soon carried on with her box throwing, but this time, she decided to talk to Lexi and Paul as she tossed. "Yes, ma'am, boxes," Lexi replied, following the tossed boxes with her eyes. "I do believe she would enjoy a box very much. I'm not very good at picking out boxes, though. Would you help me find one that you think she'd like?" Lexi asked.

Lexi smiled back at Paul and winked at him, knowing that he was smiling because of the tiny little lie Lexi had told on the spur of the moment. "Yes, yes! Thanks for allowing us to have tea," Lexi said. "It really is a rather nice environment in here." Lexi picked up her cup and drank a few sips of her tea. "Oh, Miss Larson, you're right! This really is the best tea around!"

When Paul glanced at Lexi, obviously thinking about the boxes, Lexi just shrugged. She supposed they could take out a box or two just to make Miss Larson happy. "We'll take two of those boxes, please," Lexi said. "Do you have two you'd be willing to part with?"

Miss Larson's behavior didn't seem to faze Artemis, not even a little. The young woman went about, barely noticing the white puffy haired woman throwing fragile boxes around like they were durable toys made for a hot-tempered, fussy little wizard coming into his magical abilities. "Nice to meet you two!" She responded to both while stirring her own tea. Taking a small sip, she was careful to set the hot cup back down and took a pretend bow as Miss Larson praised her on a job well done. "Thankyou Miss Larson," She smiled politely, very much fond of her.

Between the shattering of glass within the boxes that were being thrown left and right, the BOOM followed by another odd, but loud, noise and what would come off as more glass shattering went on in the vacant tea room. "Hmm?" Artemis looked to Lexi, and then to the boxes. A look of uncertainty on her face. "I would imagine little trinkets and other pretty objects mainly made of glass; Some are probably empty too." With that answer, caused a question of her own to come upon a slightly larger box smashing against the wall. "Oh no! That was the new tea set, wasn't it?" It wasn't so much as a question, than it was her accurate guess. She frowned disappointedly at it, but turned back to the visitors.

"Thankyou," She said happily, when Lexi complimented her tea. Artemis did take pride in that. She liked tea very much, and could be found on this level every day twice a day just to visit with the shopkeeper of the hospital store. "You two said your visiting someone? Is he or she okay?"

Piper edged upto the fifth floor and she fell over when she heard the whistling, she sighed with relief when it stopped and she saw a table with people sitting around it, she stood up and smoothed down her lime green gown 'crazy!' she thought "Hi can I join you please?" she asked grinning at everyone

Paul looked back at the woman who was throwing boxes around. Well, that couldn't be a good thing if she kept breaking things, could it? "But if that was a new tea set, why is she chucking it about like it was made of styrofoam?" he wondered aloud.

He turned back to Artemis and smiled again. "Oh yes, we're just visiting a family friend who was down on the--" ARG! What floor had they just been on?--"Spell damage floor. She's going to be just fine, but she's awfully lonely here so we come to visit her often. This is our first time in the tearoom though...and I must say this tea is just marvelous!"

When Artie didn't get up and attempt to stop the constant breaking of glass going on quite frequently around the room, Lexi was, of course, quite surprised. As a matter of fact, not only did Artie do absolutely nothing to stop the chaos, she proceeded to carry on mere conversation as if this sort of thing happened all the time. Lexi wrinkled her brows and gave the woman a perplexed look. Was she just going to allow ths chaos to continue until everything meant for the shop was either broken or severely damaged? Apparently so...

"Well, yes, it's quite nice to meet you, as well," Lexi politely said. "Erm, Miss, aren't the gifts inside those boxes supposed to be kept intact? I do believe they must be broken or quite damaged by now. Erm...right?" Lexi watched Miss Larson for a few seconds before turning back to Artie. The older woman was steadily breaking everything in sight. Should she and Paulie get up and do something to try and stop the chaos? Lexi took another polite sip of her tea before addressing Artie again.

When the younger woman confirmed that there were, indeed, glass objects in the boxes, Lexi wrinkled her brows once again. "Well, in all due respect, ma'am, why are they being broken? Don't you believe shop customers would like to buy them all put together as they are meant to be?" Lexi asked. Lexi nodded when the woman said her thanks for the compliment on the tea. "You're very welcome; and like Paulie said, we're here visiting a friend who's being kept on the spell damage floor. Sad, sad case, I tell you. She had a swarm of canaries conjured upon her, and she's never recovered. The canaries are all gone by now, but she still sees them from time to time. We were here visiting her and came up to your shop in hopes of getting her a nice gift. Do you have any suggestions? Anything you could show us that you think she might like?" Lexi asked, sipping on her tea once again.

"AHHHH teaaaa," Winnie said rapturously as she entered the fifth year. "I would absolutely adoooore a nice cup of tea, you wouldn't beeeliiieve what we've been through these last couple of days, I swear I can still smell werewolf," she exclaimed all in one breath. She sat herself down at a table and smoothed her green gown. "Now, what flavors have you got??"

Piper giggled at Winnie "thirsty eh?" she sat down and smiled

"Yes, come join us" Artemis answered the new comer (Piper), happily. Her attention turning back onto the nice couple just as soon. Now she was glad she hadn't pushed them off to see healers that could take them back to what she had assumed would be big white padded rooms. For their own safety, of course. They really were visitors. How nice! "Oh, I hope your friend gets better, that sounds awful." She frowned, shrugging it off after a second; Becoming more positive. "The healers here are amazing people, very skilled witches and wizards! I'm sure your friend will be released soon."

The nice woman, Lexi, seemed to confuse the new healer. Artie was quiet, considering what was said and glanced back to Miss Larson. The nice woman wasn't trying to be mean, oh no. Not insulting Miss Larson, or herself for that matter. She thought the answer was obvious, but because she was being asked maybe it wasn't. "Miss Larson is throwing boxes around because she's trying to clean up. Maybe she's looking for something, too. I'm not sure," The childlike confusion crossed her facial expression again. A look of a child trying to solve an arithmancy question, if you had ever seen one of those looks.

Eyes darted onto the exhausted looking woman, or so she looked to Artie. The werewolf comment, Artemis caught, didn't sound very kind. It offended her, unless there was another werewolf brought in recently, she knew exactily who she was talking about. Of course, Artie knew alot of people that were in this building regularly. "That's not very nice!" She huffed, crossing her arms moodily and looked down at her tea.

Piper grinned "Thanks!" she nodded getting up from the floor and sitting at the table. when the woman started saying 'That's not very nice' Piper looked from the woman to Winnie and looked at her knees "Sorry if she offended you" Piper muttered quietly to the woman "By the way I'm Piper" she smiled speaking louder and to everyone this time

Lexi smiled and moved her chair over a bit as Artie invited a few others to come join them at the table. "Oh, thanks so much!" Lexi told Artie, responding to the comment made about her "hospitalized friend." "We surely do appreciate your kind words. Oh, and the tea is amazing! It's surely been a treat after such a long day!" With that, Lexi raised her cup and took another sip of her tea.

"Oh," Lexi said, looking back at Miss Larson. "Hey, Miss Larson. The offer is still on for us to help. I realize you may not need the help, but it'd surely give me the distraction I needed to get my mind off my friend's troubles for a while. So, what do you say to Paulie and I helping with those boxes? When we're done, you can help me pick out a really nice gift, erm...box, of course, for my friend."

"Thank you, I'll recommend that they--" Paul began, using they since he had forgotten whether or not they had established their fake patient as a boy or a girl, "come up here once they're all good and better," he said with a nodd as he took a large gulp of tea, almost burning his tongue because he drank it so quickly. "This tea is really sweet, what flavor is it again?" he asked with a grin.

He glanced at the other nurse, the one throwing the boxes, and started thinking to himself. Hmmm...possibly looking for something? His ears tuned into the words that Lexi was speaking now and he nodded in agreement. "That's right, we're still willing to help if you change your mind...especially if you're looking for something, we're both rather lucky when it comes to locating things that have gone missing," he informed the older nurse with a nodd.

Franca was so glad to get off that floor she could have danced a jig, but she didn't escape that noise. No wonder everyone was going crazy in this place. All the flipping noises! She covered her ears and looked around, she sighed in relief when the noise stopped. She noticed that a tea party was going on but her eyes were drawn to the woman throwing boxes around, as if she were looking for something

She quickly walked over to her. "I would love to help you with these boxes ma'am." She offered politely.
