All visitors to the WERPS event must first enter the Atrium as they make their way inside the conservatory. This large, airy room features plenty of natural sunlight and a multitude of magical and mundane plant life. There is ample room to talk and mingle with fellow conservationists among the flora in the atrium, but be sure to also pick up one of the gift bags generously donated by each department of the Ministry of Magic. They’re filled with educational and eco-friendly items to help you get started on (or continue) your environmentally conscious lifestyle!
SPOILER!!: Gift Bag Contents
Mokeskin Pouch with extension charm, to assist in not needing to use disposable bags, donated by Department of Magical Law Enforcement
Small vials of pollution cleaning potions that clean most hazardous spills, donated by Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes
Packet of seeds, varying different magical plants that are good for the environment, donated by Department of Environmental Regulation and Protection
Information about sustainable food for magical creatures and a few samples of the food, donated by Department of Magical Creatures
Free passes to the Wizarding Planetarium for a show on Our Wizarding Earth, donated by Department of International Cooperation
Small tube of Eco Floo Powder, donated by Department of Magical Transportation
Pro Quidditch T-shirt made of eco-friendly material, team selection may vary, donated by Department of Magical Games and Sports
Greeting WERPS attendees as they entered the Atrium was a pretty sizable crowd of people carrying signs with slogans like 'We didn't start the fire!' and 'Let the Muggles clean up their own mess!' As if that wasn't enough, there was chanting of "We didn't start the fire! It was always burning while the world was turning!", loud enough that any conversations with friends, family or coworkers would have to be shouted in order to be heard successfully. The group was also handling out pamphlets decrying the WERPS conference and magical environmental responsibility as a whole as well as extra signs for anyone wishing to join them.
Basically, it was a loud greeting for those who were curious about the conference.

Kas had no idea what he was doing here. A some sort of fundraiser for the environment? Ugh, normality was such a bore. His missed the days were he could go to target practice right after his day was done. However, this was the life of his new persona and he had to keep it up.
His jaw clenched at the loud protesting coming from the activists at the entrance to the event. He was going to regret this night so bad. The 24 year-old shoved his way through the protestors, giving no attention to their cause.
Emily was very pleased about this whole conference. She was especially proud since it was a group effort that all departments had been coordinating on.
Wearing a formal blue suite tied with a bow of the same shade of blue, Emily strolled confidently into the auditorium. In her right hand was a briefcase, and floating behind her was a black quick quotes quill (gift from Kitty) and notebook.
A small frown appeared on her face as she spotted the large group of protesters. As a former reporter, she was tempted to interview them, but that was not why she was here. But she could have something else do that for her...
"Do write down what these protesters are saying, Quick quotes quill," she ordered her quill.
"Excuse me, coming through!" she said, navigating through the protesters as her quill started writing down things it heard them saying.

The time had finally come.
The widely planned Environmental Summit had arrived and with it, the culmination of the plans of many a person and department, including Simon’s own security division. The last week alone had been busy, making last minute adjustments and double and triple-checking everything in hopes that it would all go just so. Especially given it wasn’t in a strictly wizarding location, so concealment charms were aplenty around the conservatory. He had done his best work and expected his workers to do the same and given the results, the security head felt all was well.
And then he arrived this morning only to find it wasn’t only attendees that had come to the summit but a gaggle of very bothersome, very LOUD protesters as well. Simon couldn’t help sighing as he decided to keep his well-attentive presence in the atrium for now to oversee them. He wasn’t about ready to cart them away just yet but only time would tell how it ended up.
It was definitely going to be an interesting weekend.
Kas and Emily.. Some of Simon and of course the activist
Puff by day, snake by night | Mj's bestie | Always UP to Something...
It was time for the conference. After all the paperwork, all the planning the conference was happening. So, of course, the DMIC department head was on his way, he had only been running a bit late when he heard the chanting. His first thought was if his daughter snuck out and joined the protesting. He hoped she wouldn't have come this far to protest something, especially one of his work-related events, but he knew how dedicated she was as well.
Either way, he would have to deal with it. "Good day Kas, Emily, everything going alright here?" As he saw his own employees he made his way over to make sure things going smoothly. "Has security been called?" He looked around and then he saw one of the security members showing he was there. Good, good, he didn't mind the protestors, he was well aware of their rights, but he did like to have the security members there ready if needed.
Well, thought Charity as she approached the Atrium. This was certainly interesting. Sounds of "We didn't start the fire! It was always burning while the world was turning!" assaulted her ears and she was tempted to dull her hearing with a muffling charm. She refrained though, telling herself that she wouldn’t be around this group for long. Her goal for this conference was to network, network, network! (Can you say tax write off?)
Oh, and of course to encourage people to think more about how their actions affected others and the environment. It wasn’t just muggles whose actions affected the world everyone lived in, sometimes wizards’ actions were worse than the muggles.

”What?” Charity asked as someone tried shoving something into her hand. “Oh, no…no thank you,” she said closing her fist and pressing it against her hip so that nobody could try and pawn anything else off on her. What a waste of paper, she thought looking around at all the discarded pamphlets from people who were forced to take them but who were not interested in reading them. Clearly the people in this group hadn’t seen the WERP Badge pinned to her chest indicating that she was a keynote speaker.

What in the loooooony bin was going on here? Cypress had woken up for this event, you know. The Unspeakable dressed casually in jeans and was wondering what all the NOISE was??? Like????
He passed right through the people and tried to head into the conference, but...um........he turned his head incredulously as he heard what they were actually shouting.
WHAT IN THE WORLD. Cypress wasn't angry; it took forever to anger him about anything. But like???? He nudged the guy next to him. "What's their problem???? Like, we should be using our magic to help in the ways we can that they can't." He shook his head sadly. And then, very loudly, he booed the activists.
"BOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Kas did nothing more than twitch his lip when his "boss" addressed them. He didn't even do anything to acknowledge his coworker who came in right behind him. Everything was far from alright, bossman. "I could deal with them myself...sir." The security wasn't doing much to silence this racket.
His jaw tightened up again as this guy had the audacity to touch him. He took a wide step away from him. "I don't know what their problem is, but my problem is you. Don't touch me." AnD THAT YELLING?!! THAT BOO-ING?! WHYYY. Kas grimaced at the booming voice, "Unnecessary."

And the activists would not be ignored! Especially not one perky short young woman with purple hair and an anti-WERPS shirt on.
"Sir, sir! You forgot your pamphlet!" she chirped, catching up to the man and tucking said pamphlet into his suit jacket pocket. Totally ignoring the rather tense situation with the guy who'd nudged him, of course.

Nope, hadn't seen said badge, wouldn't have cared if they had. But, at least she had been kind about the whole thing, which was something.....

Unfortunately, this upset a muscular balding man in the group very badly. Like, uber bad. Bad enough for baldy to step up to the booing man. "You have a problem?" he asked, cracking his knuckles. Not that he would punch the man. Unless he punched first. He just wanted the fella to stop the booing, so his group's message could be heard. After all, people needed to hear both sides of an issue in order to make informed decisions, right?

Normally, Sky would've been dressed a lot better for a work event. Especially one that she was attending in her capacity as a security council member. But today, she just couldn't find it in herself to be bothered. An unfortunate choice she realized, once she reached the event itself.
As she entered the Atrium, the bit of Auror still in her made her want to do something about those activists. But since they weren't bothering dignitaries or anyone like that, it wasn't her place.

So, spotting her boss and a couple of coworkers, she made her way over as carefully as she could. Doing a quick stumble-and-catch herself as she did so. "They do know there isn't much chance of them finding someone who agrees with them in this crowd, right?" she commented, holding up one of the pamphlets.
And she agreed on the whole booing being unnecessary. But so was Kas's comment before the 'unnecessary' bit. "Knock it off," she whispered.

Okay okay, he admitted it. The protesters had brought out the immature part of his personality. So, when Grayson entered the Atrium and saw a potential fight brewing between two guys, he did what any immature person would do. He encouraged it. Loudly. "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.....!" he started yelling. Oops?

Celandine Kettleburn was meeting her friends here for a ladies weekend, an educated ladies weekend in fact. Because who said that you couldn't bond with your girlfriends over expanding your mind with new knowledge? And it was nice having a moment to herself without a toddler in tow, though she loved her newest child dearly of course. Four babies now and all were still her babies even if the other three were all at Hogwarts now and how was Charlotte of age exactly? Time went by too fast sometimes.
Oh look! goodie bags! She made a beeline for the gift bag station and snagged one with a thank you to the attendant giving them out. Time to take a look at what was inside! Oh and take a look at the brochure to decide which presentations to watch and whether or not she would need a timeturner to be sure she didn't miss any of the exciting ones!

Cosgrach was here, of course. There was no way he could have missed this. He especially wanted to listen to some of the spea - did someone say free - did someone say loud protesting???
Brown eyes watched the ... people who didn't start the fire, okay. He didn't quite understand what they were talking about, though, so he approached to hopefully understand better. Oh, they even had a pamphlet, good.
Kas did nothing more than twitch his lip when his "boss" addressed them. He didn't even do anything to acknowledge his coworker who came in right behind him. Everything was far from alright, bossman. "I could deal with them myself...sir." The security wasn't doing much to silence this racket.

Cypress shot a glance at the guy. "Sorry, mate." He said simply. he supposed he could have been more...what was the word? Considerate. "It's not unnecessary. They interrupting our event...with their..stupid opinions." He shrugged. "I'm Cypress Macnair..." might as well introduce himself? "Unspeakable. Mysteries." Unspeakable still sounded coooool okay? So cool. "Are you new? Or ...?" He looked like he could be MLE.

Did he have a problem? Not a HUGE one, but he didn't answer. He just glared in their direction. And now, Cypress was so past violence...ever using it. Like, not his thing. Had a bloody wand, after all.

Kas looked over the woman in the very out-of-place clothing who scolded him. "Knock it off or what?" He looked over her again, tugging at her sweater. "You'll throw a tantrum, Donald Duck?"
Kas shoved his hands into his coat pockets, trying to tune out all the chaos in the room. He made a face when his hands came in contact with something. A pamphlet? Why those little...ugh. They were persistent, he'll give them that. "Kasimir Hawley..." He set fire to the pamphlet and then vanished the ashes. "...Undercover Buyer, DIMC."
The dark haired man sized up the Goliath coming from the activist group. Who knew giants cared about causes? He stepped in between Gigantior and the man who was too loud for being an Unspeakable. "Take a step back, sir, or there will be trouble."
Either way, he would have to deal with it. "Good day Kas, Emily, everything going alright here?" As he saw his own employees he made his way over to make sure things going smoothly. "Has security been called?" He looked around and then he saw one of the security members showing he was there. Good, good, he didn't mind the protestors, he was well aware of their rights, but he did like to have the security members there ready if needed.
Emily smiled thinly (her standard smile to everyone) at her boss as he approached them and asked how they were. "Good day," she greeted him back, frowning slightly at Kas. Hmm what was going on there? "I thought I saw security personal back there, but so far everything looks peaceful. Honestly though, I'm surprised there are so many protesters. I do hope they don't heckle any of our speakers."
She frowned again when one of the protesters tried to jab a pamphlet into Kas's pocket. She knew she would be very annoyed if someone did that to her.

Turning to address him in a calm manner, she said, "I used to be a reporter, yes, but I've been with the Ministry for several years now." She smiled thinly and moved to keep walking, but then she paused and turned back to face him. "You're not going to heckle any of our speakers, are you?"

Gryphon Saxby may have been slightly late for his speech. Not that people were waiting for him, no, he wasn't that late. But he'd wanted to come early in order to set up things for the grand presentation. Unforeseeable circumstances were to blame for his current state of lateness.
"Ah, protesters." Lots of them.
He attempted to skirt around the main group of protesters so he'd get to his area faster to make up for lost time. No time for talking to protesters! Must make haste!
Okay okay, he admitted it. The protesters had brought out the immature part of his personality. So, when Grayson entered the Atrium and saw a potential fight brewing between two guys, he did what any immature person would do. He encouraged it. Loudly. "FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.....!" he started yelling. Oops?
"Hey, you!" another of the activists called out. Yeah, you, dude-with-the-hair. "Please don't incite violence against us, yeah?" Tis not what they were here for, after all.

"What are you protesting?" Hmm?
The same person turned to an older gentleman...who genuinely seemed interested in what they were about! Yay! "Well, basically, while we do believe that climate change is a real thing, we don't believe that Muggles deserve our help in preventing it from going any further." He was following so far, right? "We believe that the Muggles should be left to stew in their own mess." After all, these were the people that persecuted them every chance they got and forced them to hide their true selves. As if being a wizard were something to be ashamed of.

Well, this one was certainly a pleasant one, wasn't he? After he'd plucked another woman's sweater and set fire to the pamphlet she'd given, the perky woman decided it was time to move away. Definitely after he'd stepped up to her friend. "Come Butch, time to go," she said, tugging on the tall, muscular balding man's arm. They were not here to start fights, after all, just to have their voices heard and maybe disrupt the conference a bit.

Oh, drat. Not a reporter. Okay, then.
"Oh, no ma'am. That's not what we're here for at all. Just want to have our views heard," he replied, shaking his head. Nope, no interrupting the speakers, the instructions had been very clear on that.
After awhile, a few smaller groups of activists broke off from the main group and followed people into some of the other areas to make themselves heard there too.

They were starting to get a crowd and that was not what this conference needed and it was only fueling the protest fire to have people stop and stare at them. "No Kas, the best thing we can do is ignore them and head in and go about our day. The more interaction we give the more they think they are doing something here." It was best to just ignore them and show them that they weren't important. "You can never make everyone happy, unfortunately, but you would think a conference about helping the earth and doing things different to protect it would be something they would like not protest, but it seems these days everyone is offended by everything, and everything has to have protested." Looking towards Emily as she questioned things.
Honestly, he didn't get it and didn't understand why people felt the need to stand and protest, what did it really do expect waste time and get in other people's ways. What could they be doing with their time right now? He watched the crowd gather even more people and now they were yelling things back and forth. Ugh this wasn't how he wanted the day to go.
Glancing at security they seemed to be well aware of everything, "Alright everyone we have a great conference to get to, would anyone like to join me inside?" Hopefully if he started towards the entrance everyone else would as well. "Oh look the goodie bags."

Did he just.......pluck her sweatshirt? Okay, we might work together but we're not that familiar. "Fine, your funeral." was all she said about that though, before working her way through the crowd into the event proper (after making sure that the ambassador there wasn't about to get his pretty hair block knocked off, of course), giving the immature ambassador a look as she did so.

Phew. Honestly, for a moment there, he had thought the dude was turning around to punch him. But, nope, he just got away with an 'tisk-tisk'. Though, it did seem like his 'security detail' had seen. Drat.
He followed said woman further into the crowd like a scolded puppy dog.

...but this was rather stupid?
Cosgrach didn't have time to say that, though, because these people were leaving. Well, he shrugged to himself, and proceeded to the other parts of the summit.
curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog
Javier did NOT want to be here. The environment was not really a concern of his. He lived in the city, and he had a little wind sill garden that he tended since he didn't have a yard - but outside of that, he didn't really get excited about doing outdoorsy things except for sports. But even that didn't really count because that usually on a field. He was basically here for food and drink.
He'd also owled Khara to see if she wanted to meet up. Because this seemed like something she would be into, and he was trying this whole SOCIAL thing. His parents kept pointing out to him how he didn't have any friends, even though he had moved out now - they were STILL on his case about it. They couldn't just let him live his happy little hermit life with Cami, could they? Ugh.

She might have been nervous, why though, well she was nervous because she was asked to go to a really cool environmental conference that she had been reading about by Javier. She enjoyed her friendship with him and found him very interesting, to say the least, but she always had a tendency to feel awkward in social situations that did not involve animals and from what she read there weren't many animal related issues going on at this conference.
So she found something cute to wear, spend a bit longer on her makeup than usual and made her way to the area. What she wasn't expecting was protestors, but it looked as if they were leaving which was great because what a way to ruin something already than dealing with protestors and MLE. Looking around she spotted him and smiled. "Hey! You haven't been waiting long have you?" She didn't want to admit she was trying to look extra nice and took extra time, but she hated being late as well.

Unfortunately, this upset a muscular balding man in the group very badly. Like, uber bad. Bad enough for baldy to step up to the booing man. "You have a problem?" he asked, cracking his knuckles. Not that he would punch the man. Unless he punched first. He just wanted the fella to stop the booing, so his group's message could be heard. After all, people needed to hear both sides of an issue in order to make informed decisions, right?

"FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.....!" he started yelling. Oops?

So cool. "Are you new? Or ...?" He looked like he could be MLE.
Did he have a problem? Not a HUGE one, but he didn't answer. He just glared in their direction. And now, Cypress was so past violence...ever using it. Like, not his thing. Had a bloody wand, after all.

The same person turned to an older gentleman...who genuinely seemed interested in what they were about! Yay! "Well, basically, while we do believe that climate change is a real thing, we don't believe that Muggles deserve our help in preventing it from going any further." He was following so far, right? "We believe that the Muggles should be left to stew in their own mess." After all, these were the people that persecuted them every chance they got and forced them to hide their true selves. As if being a wizard were something to be ashamed of.
Well, this one was certainly a pleasant one, wasn't he? After he'd plucked another woman's sweater and set fire to the pamphlet she'd given, the perky woman decided it was time to move away. Definitely after he'd stepped up to her friend. "Come Butch, time to go," she said, tugging on the tall, muscular balding man's arm. They were not here to start fights, after all, just to have their voices heard and maybe disrupt the conference a bit.
Oh, drat. Not a reporter. Okay, then.
"Oh, no ma'am. That's not what we're here for at all. Just want to have our views heard," he replied, shaking his head. Nope, no interrupting the speakers, the instructions had been very clear on that.
After awhile, a few smaller groups of activists broke off from the main group and followed people into some of the other areas to make themselves heard there too.
Great, there was the first sounds of a potential ruckus and it had been started by one of the summit’s attendees and not one of the activists. Simon moved to get closer in case he was needed to break things up, the respondent’s cracking of his knuckles not easing his concerns. The security man threw a stern look at the new entrant and attendee who seemed to seek to make things worse. Who’d have thought it would not be the protestors causing the most trouble.
The booer starred but didn’t readily jump into violence which was a relief as well as one of the activists speaking out against the enticing of the summit member and scooping up the knuckles guy. Butch. At least there were logical, cooler heads around. Simon stood down from his super alert status and back to just being aware of what was going on.
Now they just had to keep an eye on them as the activists appeared to be dispersing to move further into the areas of the summit that were still open to the public.

Hadleigh may have arrived in the presence of her father and aunt but the young women had went her own way a few minutes later. Each of them had wanted to see different things so there was no point in dragging one another around. Letting them go one way she had turned and went the other direction.
Entering the Atrium she wasn't sure where she wanted to begin. There was so much to look at and take in, not to mention there was many people standing about. Spotting an area where gift bags was being handed out she made her way there first. Accepting the bag she peered inside and was highly pleased in what she saw. The seeds would be put to good use in her apartment once she got home and there was no doubt that the other items would be useful to her as well.
Tucking her gift bag away inside her own bag, Hady slowly made her way through the Atrium taking in the various scents and different plant life. Here and there she would stop to take a closer look at one before continuing on.
