Default Stone Alcove

Dank and distinctly unfriendly, this dungeon-like pass would most certainly scare any guilty party witless as they make there way to the courtrooms. However, to the average Ministry employed witch or wizard who passes by it is nothing more than a stone cobbled corridor with one unique feature.

A stone alcove.

While previously a feature easily dismissed and more often used as a hiding place for Ministry-wide 'Assassin' games, this alcove is now covered in intricate rune work. But why? Crack the code and perhaps you will find out.

Contrary to his words in the Announcement Tome, one Airey Flamsteed was less than satisfied with the results of the magical assessment of the rock pillows in the Decompression Chamber. Yes, it was rather common that enchantments and spellwork faded with time but after the appearance of a black hole in the Space Chamber that then led to further complications...well...the department head was not keen on taking any chances and he had elected to keep his Unspeakables on a need to know basis.

So. Here he was now, recalling stumbling upon this alcove haphazardly a few times but now here with a very real purpose.

....was there something to be had in the runework here?

Conley was on his way to the courtroom. The Wizengamot had some questions about international law and he had a few scrolls and a book tucked under one arm. He had other things that were a bit more important than whatever busywork the Wizengamot had up their sleeves. Reports of Visas and passports misplaced or perhaps stolen were coming in and it had made him conduct a few audits. It appeared that the audit he'd asked be done a few years ago hadn't been been completed.

Lost in his own thoughts, he almost missed the DOM head staring at the wall. "Airey," Conley said cordially as he neared. "Fancy seeing you here." He slowed, not really eager to walk into the courtrooms and not particularly eager to go back to his offices. "You looked flummoxed."

Aslan had a knack.

Some might call it luck, or intuition, or even fate's guiding hand, but she had grown past all those labels, had seen past them all to attain a single truth. things happened as they were meant to happen. This stone alcove had caught her attention before, almost calling to the young woman as she'd floated- thoughtful and quiet- through the Ministries lower levels. There was an ebb and flow here, a push and pull. It frightened her, attracted her. Aslan had slipped away from the Death Chamber, meaning to come here alone and inspect the very runes her former professor seemed so engrossed in.

She was watching, you see. Quietly, from a corner where she believed neither Airey nor the other man - she had seen him before but did not recall his name - would be able to detect her. Her large dark eyes was hazy, dreamy as if the young woman was lost in thought, but she was focused.

So focused on his analysis and translation attempt, Airey nearly mistook his colleague's words to imply that he was fluxweed or on the search for some. Thankfully, the astronomer was both more in his wits and knew Conley to be more sensible than to ask something so nonsensical.

"Yes, well," he muttered upon clearing his throat and gesturing at all the engravings. "Seemingly randomly secret entrances of sorts have never historically been profitable." He ventured a glance over to the other man, all too easily catching Miss Evans out of the corner of his eye. He would forever be hyper sensitive to the presence of his former pupils - it was like seeing a kneazle walk on their hind legs. Surreal to think of them as having lives outside of those stone corridors and in black robes of house accents. "...has anything peculiar occurred on your level recently?"

Unlike Airey, Conley did not see the young lady standing nearby. Instead Conley came to a stop next to Airey and turned towards the alcove that Airey was looking at. He’d never noticed it before. Had it always been there? And what was Airey talking about? Had he taken speech lessons from a centaur because he was being very cryptic. Linguist he may be, but Conley had no idea what Airey was implying with his talk of secret passages.

But the second part – yeah, Conley got that. ”Not particularly, but I’ve been a little busy since I’ve returned from holiday.” Visa thefts, missing passports, and moving plans took up more time than one would think. ”Unless you consider an increase in reported identity thefts unusual.” Since he was speaking with another department head, he didn’t see the harm in telling Airy about the reports.

It was a curse to be so hyper sensitive to the presence of those you once taught, Conely. Consider yourself lucky.

That being said, Airey was able to pull his focus from concerning himself with what Miss Evans was doing to the conversation at hand with his colleague. Though the Mysteries head would be baffled to know that his colleague had no knowledge of the Chamber of Secrets and other such mysterious passageways at Hogwarts. Had even been an unmapped entrance and exit up through the chamber and into the castle that had allowed the acromantula in during their invasion attempt. It was all unsettling and now had the former professor a bit on edge in light of a few happenings around the Ministry.

"Ah, well, that is certainly a rel----" Until his fellow department head mentioned that. "Identity theft? That sounds like a right proper headache. All isolated incidents?"

”Why do you ask? Have you been-“ he paused, eyeing up Airey as he shifted the book and scrolls to the other arm. Thoughts of asking if DoM was having unusual issues slipped his mind. It wasn't like he could help much if they were having problems. Why was Airey so interested in identity theft? Should he be worried about discussing this with him? Conley didn’t know the man well, but he highly doubted that Airey would be connected to the string of events. ”I’m not sure at the moment. My team is still investigating. In fact, I have a meeting with Alexa regarding it,” another other things. ”Later today…”

He eyed up Airey for a second then, turned back to the alcove, taking a step forward to look at the runes. ”I’m not sure what you’re looking at here, but if you want, I can come back and do further analysis later. These are similar to ancient Greek…” He ran a finger along one of the runes, tracing it. Then blinked and turned back to Airey. It’d been a while since he had a translation challenge. It could be fun.

The hair on the back of her neck bristled. Although he made no comment nor expression toward her Aslan was suddenly certain Flamsteed was aware of her, she narrowed her dark eyes on him, scrutinizing his aged features as carefully as she might have the runes.
Yes, even as he spoke to Conley Aslan felt their shared existence. She did not speak, but continued watching- allowing the words to sink in and rattle about her mind. Identity Theft was not unheard of, not singular but a string of them...

"How many have there been?"
She asked, her languid voice suddenly cutting through the conversation. Aslan moved forward, her tall, thin form slipping from the shadows and into the light. Tilting her head, the young woman's dark hair shifted in a messy cascade over her shoulder. She paused, her tongue itched. "The identity thefts." A conclusion.

Default Laurel / Open! Come play
*randomly tagged* | Norbert(a) | The Wandmaker (tm)

Because he knew how much the missing rocks had bothered Laurel, Adam had in his down-time, scoured Level 9 looking for them. His home department/level had been the only place he’d been comfortable enough to go poking around by himself, which was odd considering most of Adam’s problems had come from poking around on Level 9 by himself. Well, that was only partly true. He hadn’t been alone in the body-snatchers incident. He wasn’t sure why he cared about Laurel’s unease about the pillows. It wasn’t like they were friends…right? Merlin knew that they had a brief history of - well, let’s just say they didn’t exactly exchanging pleasantries. He guessed there was just something about sharing an odd and unnerving situation that could unify people, even if Adam wasn’t sure if that harmony would be long-lasting.

As his solo seeking journey around Level 9 had produced none of the missing rock pillows, he had suggested to Laurel that, if she wasn’t busy, perhaps she might accompany him while he extended his hunting grounds. Because, even with his new glasses, he still had a very hard time traversing areas he wasn’t familiar with.

So with his support cane tucked safely away in an inner pocket with his wand, Adam walked next to Laurel as they walked down the hallway of Level 10. Best to start at the bottom right?

”I heard,” he offered up as simple chatter. ” Someone got stuck in ze lifts a few monzzs ago,” Perhaps it wasn’t the best conversation to have while moving around the ministry, but Adam wasn’t exactly known for his small-talk.

Why was Laurel still bothered by these stupid rock pillow whereabouts? Her Inner Eye and the cards had to her big frustration not provided any useful insight. The blond seer and unspeakable liked to know why things happened and reasons for it ,but to this matter she had neither. Looking for the pillows had so far lead to some dangerous situations. Hopefully this pillow seeking trip wouldn't end in something that'd get her husband to worry for her safety.

Walking alongside Adam down the hallway as they began their search of level 10 which had been allowed by Airey she didn't immediatley seeing anything that even remotley could look like a pillow. Raising her brow's at Adam's comment Laurel said with a sideways glance at her colleague "Oh really? I hadn't heard about that. How did it go for the person that got stuck in the lift, do you know?" Luck if it wasn't someone that was claustrophobic or it'd have been stressing to them. "So how have things been? Are you dating someone new?"

”Persons,” Adam said softly as leaned into a nook. He paused, realized he couldn’t see anything and reached into his pocket for his support cane. A flick and a flip later, it was assembled and he was using it to prod into the corner of the nook. ”I zink it vas a kouple uff ambassadors? I know zat zey got out. I am not sure how long zey vere schtuck in zere zough. Haf you used zem lately?” Personally, after one had tried to eat his hand two years ago he’d begun using the stairs. It kind of seemed like the ministry was falling apart. What with the memos not working properly and then the lifts. And then there was that odd business with the machines in the Chamber of Codes.

His cane didn’t hit anything and so he decided there was nothing there and so he ambled on with Laurel. At Laurel’s question about his personal life, his cane stuck on something and Adam tripped forward, catching himself with a hand on the wall. Adam let out a few soft curse words in German as he shook his hand. His wrist stung, but he knew it would be fine. He wasn’t going to lie. The question had startled him. Since when did they talk about their personal lives? For a moment he was going to tell her to mind her own business. Instead he found himself saying. ”I haf been seeing someone.” He paused, unsure of what he should say. Finally he settled on, ” Alzzough I am not really sure vhere I stand witt her at ze moment. ”

Quite a bit of time had been spent down in the courtrooms. He had been called on as additional support since one of the cases had been for a crook that he had helped take down. Sentence now given and said criminal whisked away until it was time for transport, the blond was making his way from the depths of the Ministry up to Level Two.

Not being able to apparate down here or using the lifts was really starting to get annoying after all this time. But there were some perks, believe it or not. It was a great cardio hiking all the way up level after level, the atrium food court was a nice place to make a pitstop, and there were corridors that Frankie had never been down before that he occasionally stumbled upon.

Today the stone alcove managed to catch his attention. It wasn't the first time he had passed it as the Auror was very much aware that it was there. However, this was the first time he noticed the runes that were present. They were pretty cool looking. It was times like these that made him regret not taking Ancient Runes.

Her cloak fluttered behind her as she briskly walked down the hallway, small feathers stuck to the her back were the only remains of the fiasco that had occurred in the Hall of Prophecies. To say Hallie was a bit overwhelmed with her first run in with her boss would be an understatement and all she yearned for at the moment was some peace and quiet to enjoy her lunch, turkey and swiss on rye. She was making her way for the small alcove she found about a week ago when she had gotten lost on her way to the Department of Mysteries and knew that the hallway was rarely occupied; the perfect place to reflect on her career choices.

Just as Hallie turned the corner, she had just barely stopped short of colliding into the body in front of her, “Woah! Oh my gosh I’m so sorry, I didn’t expect anyone to be here…”. The young women brushed hair away from her face as she adjusted her bag on her shoulder.

As he continued to stare at the runes, he thought he was able to vaguely identify some of them. His wife had taken Ancient Runes when they were students, so he knew a thing or two. That was Mannaz, right? Or was it Ehwaz? The lines weren't all that clear to him and no one familiar enough with runes happened be nearby, so the blond decided to give up on trying to make sense of the rune work. One day, perhaps, he would get some insight into the message the runes had to tell.

For all he knew, though, they were a warning to expect someone to collide with him. Having been so intrigued with the runes on the wall, the Auror wasn't alert or aware that someone was making their way down the hallway. It wasn't until after someone bumped into him that he jumped, dug a hand into his pocket, and raised his wand at whoever had done the deed.

The wand wasn't pointed at the woman for very long. As soon as her appearance fully registered in his mind and she began apologizing, Frankie lowered his wand and put it back where he had been just moments ago. "Uhh ... not a problem. Not the first time someone's collided with me on the job," he said with a chuckle.

The young women huffed out a laugh as she readjusted the satchel hung loosely on her shoulder. From what she's seen from the ministry so far she wouldn't be surprised. The entire building was in a constant state of hustle and bustle, "Tell me about it.... But really, I should have been looking where I was going."

Despite this apology, Hallie still took a seat inside the alcove and raised her hand out to the young man, "I'm Hallie by the way. Hallie Saunders. I'm new... newish." She continued to babble as she reached into her bag and pulled out a bag of crisps that seemed to only be half full and rolled at the top to try and prevent spillage inside of bag. She opened the bag and held it out, "Want any?" Her mother always taught her it was rude to eat in front of others.

Despite this apology, Hallie still took a seat inside the alcove and raised her hand out to the young man, "I'm Hallie by the way. Hallie Saunders. I'm new... newish." She continued to babble as she reached into her bag and pulled out a bag of crisps that seemed to only be half full and rolled at the top to try and prevent spillage inside of bag. She opened the bag and held it out, "Want any?" Her mother always taught her it was rude to eat in front of others.
"Really, it isn't a problem," he told her, hopefully reassuring her that everything was alright. No harm, no foul. While it was true that she probably should have been better paying attention, he wasn't at all bothered. It hadn't been the first time someone collided into his built body, and it like wasn't going to be the last. People had places to be and things to do, so the occasional bumping was bound to happen -- mind you, it was happening to him a lot this year.

He watched as Hallie Saunders got settled in inside the alcove. So this was a seating area then? Frankie was certain that wasn't what the alcove was meant to be used as, but it wasn't his place to say what its purpose was considering all of the rune work that had been etched into it. Instead, the man shook the woman's hand. "Nice to meet you, Hallie. Frankie Paton," the blond replied with a smile. "What brought you here to the Ministry?"

Blue eyes honed in on the satchel she and the bag of crisps she pulled out of it. When she held the bag out to him, he was indeed tempted to grab a handful but decided against it. "Nah. I'm good, thank you. Strict diet, you see. My department head wouldn't approve."

What brought her to the Ministry?

“I suppose I’m here to make a living for myself. Rent won’t pay itself,” Hallie replied truthfully. She was still relatively young, and her needs were relatively simple: food, clothes, a place to live, and her cat Beans. And a job at the ministry allowed her live comfortably enough on her own. “It would be a waste if I didn’t put all of those years of schooling to good work.”

But the question had her momentarily thinking of her mother. Her beautiful and passionate mother who had decided to pursue a dream of painting instead of a stable and well-paying job. Who had been unable to provide for her family and was constantly relying on the support of others for a place to live. Hallie loved her mother very much but was far too independent to allow herself to live her life the way her mother did.

“A diet?!” Hallie giggled in disbelief but was genuinely curious. She didn’t know much about the other departments of Ministry besides her own, and even then, that knowledge was minimal at best, “From your department head? What department do you work in?”

Rent and putting all those years of schooling to work. Right. Well, that wasn't quite the response Frankie was expecting. He had assumed as much since that was the whole point of getting a job. It all definitely wasn't foreign to him in the slightest. He too once had rent to pay, clothes and food to buy, et cetera. It was more or less the same today, though rent was a mortgage and he and his wife had four children to clothe and feed.

"Very true," he responded with a chuckle. "Was the Ministry your first choice, or were there other places that had your interest?" At this point he was just making small-talk.

The man couldn't help put raise an eyebrow when Hallie started giggling. Was being on a strict diet for work really that foreign of an idea? Hmm. He was going to give her the benefit of the doubt here. "Law Enforcement. I'm an Auror." Frankie left it at that, figuring that was all he needed to say to explain why he couldn't help himself to those crisps of hers. "What about you? What department are you in?"
