Default Ski Lounge



With the weather snowy and chilly outside the ski lodge has a chi lounge ready to welcome you into warmth. The cozy three-story lounge is set up special for the Ministry employees with a table full of goody bags as you first walk through the door. These ocean blue bags are filled with quills, gloves that you can use while here, and other useful exciting things. Walking further in the employees will help you get checked in and help you with your luggage to your room. If you are just stopping in to warm-up or grab a bite to eat there is a huge sitting area on the main floor with two fireplaces and a wall of windows on the east side that show the slopes. The banquet table is full of different types of food and desserts one could expect at this retreat just waiting for you to try.

If Lynley has to come to this stupid...retreat...she was relaxing. And not going near that sauna. Or doing any actual skiing because she wasn't sure she wanted to ski with anyone. Though...she had brought skis...but...

Ugh.

Where was the bloody ministry anyway? Or anyone at all? She had seen one bloke near the sauna and thought he was insane.

Anyways.

Here she was.

So this was a ministry orientation? Griffin had been to a welcome lunch a few summers ago when he did an internship, but now he was here as an employee. It just had to be a Skiing one though? He wheeled into the lodge and made his way towards the lounge, thankful that they had a ramp to use. He didn't feel like using his wand to get him places if he could help it.

He made his way to the seating area where he noticed someone,
"Hello"
giving a sort of wave not sure if she was a department head or just an employee. He had met his department head when he interned so he did know who he was, but anyone else he was very sure he had no clue.



Though he did hope to run into Olly.

Natalie was used to ski lodges. From the age of seven until she was eighteen, her parents and she would visit their private ski resort every winter. This one was nearly as good her family's so Natalie was quite impressed.

After checking in, Natalie decided to see who was already there. She saw someone from her own department. She realised it was the Department Head. Well, she did have a certain air about her. She then saw a man. "Hello there. My name's Natalie Mills," she said with a smile to them both.

Well, wasn't this a rather cold welcome for the new and returning employees? Albert had been reluctant when he got the notice, but again, forced by the missus to mingle and be nice, the Creatures Division Head found himself right in the thick of it. It was too bad he couldn't bring a plus one, although he wasn't sure if Antheia was going to like it. She mostly enjoys spring and summer...which was soon. After he settled his luggage in his room, Albert made his way down to the lounge dressed in his well fitted, and most likely ridiculously expensive snow gear.

Holding up a list of activities for this retreat, the man managed to tick off most of it, seeing that it wasn't that friendly for ancient people like him. Ski race? Ski range? No. He's not meant to do those. Hot Chocolate Bar? Not that great for people like him who needs to watch out their sugar intake. And the Sauna? That earned the list an exasperated sigh, and both of his eyebrows raised. No. Not really in the mood to mingle with possibly half-naked ministry co-workers. He didn't want to be scarred early on in the year, thank you very much.

So...what should he do today then? A cup of hot tea would be nice...and perhaps a good book? Albert took a chance to look around and saw a familiar face, and two younger employees whom he hasn't seen before. Perhaps they are new? Once he caught their attention, Albert was forced to greet them. "Good day, all of you." And that was that. No conversation starter or anything. Just a short...and hopefully polite acknowledgement of their presence.

Now, yes. Tea and biscuits sound lovely right now.

Default Anyone? Who wants Adam to bowl them over? Man without eyes coming through...
*randomly tagged* | Norbert(a) | The Wandmaker (tm)

Eyes wrapped in excessively large purple glasses and carrying a long white and black folding stick, Adam walked into the Ski lodge. He probably would have been better staying home this year, seeing as he couldn’t see….well much. He certainly wasn’t going to be going skiing. Not unless he wanted a broken neck or leg or arm. Nope, Adam had had a close enough call with death last year when a star decided he looked like a tasty morsel.

But tasty morsels were a reason he had decided to make an appearance at the lodge. That and the fact that he really really needed to get out. After the long stint St. Mungo’s and a sabbatical from work, Adam was getting a little cabin fevery. In fact, he wasn’t sure if he was even cleared for work, and thus if he should be here. But here he was.

Bumb…

“Sorry…” Adam said in heavily accented English. He reached out and patted something. But what was it? A Person? A shelf? The doorframe? Adam’s eyes squinted behind the excessively large purple glasses, but alas he couldn’t make out to what or whom he was apologizing.

Willow was standing in the lounge watching as people walked through but really not paying much attention to anything else. She'd hoped Luke would come but he hadn't said for sure if he'd be there. She wasn't much of a skier but she had wanted to come to the retreat either way.

She bit her lip and moved to turn towards the exit when she felt someone bump right into her "yrros!" she exclaimed as well. She hadn't even looked to see if anyone was near her! "?thgirla uoy erA" she asked.

It wasn't long before someone joined them, and it was quite a few people who all arrived at once. A younger looking man, who told Lynley hello very politely. She didn't smile, but she gave him a pleasant sort of look as she nodded in his direction. "Are you new here?" she asked him [Griffin]. He looked new. His face looked new.

But the next face, she knew, not because she was new...she was old, but she was new to Transportation. "Hello, Natalie. It's nice to see you," she smiled softly. "I'm so happy to have you in my department, you know. You seem fairly competent." And that was much of what Lynley wanted from an employee.

Lynley waved at others as they came in, keeping her eyes particularly peeled for any of her own employees. Another man joined their little area, and Lynley thought they must look like quite the crew right now. An older man, herself, a younger bloke, and then...Natalie. "Hello. I'm Lynley Purcell for those of you who don't know...department head for Magical Transportation." She fiddled with her hat on her head and shifted position from one leaning her weight on one leg to the other.

January was nervous, to say the least. She was excited about her giant promotion, but it was indeed... giant. She wasn't sure she was qualified especially because the Minister himself didn't seem qualified. January also felt extra nervous because she wasn't allowed to bring her husband with her to help her calm her nerves.

Regardless, January was there. She was not dressed in skiing clothes, because she was not planning on skiing or... really having fun in general. She was here for her employees and she was here to supervise Morgan make sure that everything went smoothly, even though all the other Department Heads with much more experience were also doing that.

Standing off near a wall, January watched the hustle and bustle begin, holding her cup of cocoa that she had not yet sipped out of yet.

Right. It didn't take long for the bizarre employees to come in as he caught sight of a blind (?) man make his way into the area only to be met with another employee who spewed out...a language he didn't understand. Albert squinted at the sound...only to realize that the woman talked backwards. Merlin, bizarre indeed.

Albert turned his attention back to the small group and mentally groaned at the thought of introduction. Why was he here again? Letting out a quiet sigh, the man took a seat and folded his long leg over the other. Might as well get comfy if they were going to have a conversation. Lynley, well, he'd seen her around a couple of times in the Ministry, since she's the Department Head and all, then there were two younger ones he didn't care about meeting in the first place. However, seeing that this was an Orientation, he might as well get the hang of things should he want to meet his new Department Head and new colleagues in Level Four. "It's good to see you again, Lynley." well, not really seeing that they weren't close. "And I'm Albert Morgenstern. Division Head in Enforcement of Magical Creatures. Welcome, and welcome back to the ministry." There, was that good enough?

The latest addition to the crowd didn't seem comfortable at the event. What could possibly be wrong in this rather...exciting Orientation? Albert slowly got up from his seat and took just a few steps to a nearby table serving hot drinks. "Tea would be best to calm your nerves down," he started as he poured himself a cup, and added a dash of milk into it. After giving the woman (January) a polite glance and nod, Albert made his way back to his armchair, and slowly sipped his hot drink.

Now, where are the other Creatures employee...and most importantly, where was his new boss?

”Vhat?!" Adam said a bit too loudly. He put his hand to his ear in a gesture to say he didn’t understand. Perhaps his lack of human interaction has turned back some of the progress he had made at understand the English language. “Come ay-gain?” he asked in his heavy German accent.

Despite being (mostly) blind, Adam could tell there were other people in the room. Perhaps it was his hearing, which had increased since his eyesight lost. Perhaps it was his sense of smell. Either way, he knew he wasn’t along with the strange language speaker he had bumped into. He felt a draft on the back of his neck. Perhaps he better move further into the room.

Whack.
Tap.
Whack.

Adam reached out with his black and white stick trying to feel his way around the room. He hit a few (too) many things as he shuffled along.

Hmm…perhaps finding morsels was going to be harder then he thought…

When Olly had heard about just WHERE this year’s orientation would be taking place, she’d been far from thrilled. She wasn’t a. It skier, never had been, so naturally, she was staying inside on this retreat. It was COLD outside, did they know? Even if you applied heating charms.

She saw no reason to go out into the snow right now.

With Schuyler around but not physically at her side right now, Olly had chosen to get a cup of hot chocolate and had then proceeded to walk over to the lounge. There she had greeted everyone already present - or everyone whose gaze she had met anyway - with a polite nod. Oh, wait. Griffin had made it too. That was nice. She’d been genuinely intrigued to hear that he had come and joined their department as a full term employee now.

He seemed to be busy conversing with other people, however, so Olly simply sat down in one of the comfortable seats. This was kind of...alright.

I'm dreaming with my eyes wide open

For an Aussie, Gidwyn had always been rather fond of snow and the cold in general. When he'd heard that his new job at the British Ministry of Magic was going to start with a skiing trip, he was even more excited about it than he already was. What a fantastic idea! Completely ridiculous, but fantastic!

Returning indoors from the cold, he breathed a sigh of relief as the warmth rushed through his cheeks. That's when he smelled it. Cinnamon buns? Merlin's beard, it's like they read his mind. Did they? Naaah.. In any case, before the minute had passed, he was already munching on a bun and slurping on a cup of hot cocoa. He gave polite nods and smiles to everyone within the immediate area, but focused mainly on his delicious treat. Which is perhaps why he was so startled when the chair in front of him got smacked by something and made an uncomfortably loud noise.

He darted his gaze towards Adam and raised an eyebrow. "You alright, mate?" he begrudgingly decided to postpone the next bite of his bun to allow for the chance that he might have to have a conversation within the next few moments.

Arts TRANSPONSTER!

Angelica Kirby did not ski. She also was having none of this mad Minister of Magic of theirs, and it was all a big ridiculous joke in her point of view. How much longer was he going to stay in charge of their government, for crying out loud? Such a waste of time.

She did see the Orientation as part of her job, however, so she was there. It had been a while since she had rolled her eyes so often, but she was there. Maybe she could mingle with some of her colleagues who might find that type of Orientation as insane as their 'leader' and they could complain together.

Making her way to the lounge, the former Ravenclaw sent 'greeting' looks - if there was such a thing - around to those who worked in the same Department as her, and looks that might've been mistaken as judgemental to those who didn't know her. She was just studying the room, not exactly judging anyone. No one should feel offended; if they did, that was too bad.

The woman approached the refreshments table and went to pour some hot tea for herself. While others chatted over the same table, her hand reached for a cup almost in slow motion, as her gaze slowly drifted to the where the milk was. Her other hand slowly but surely reached for it and she immediately resumed making tea with the precision necessary to brew a Draught of the Living Dead.

Before she could finish her perfect brew, she was whacked on the leg not only once, but twice. Turning abruptly, Angelica pursed her lips. "Excuse you." She spat, only then realising the man was using the cane to get around. She placed a hand on his shoulder and turned him away from her rather quickly. Quicker than she was intending, even. Surprised by her... strength (?), the woman momentarily stopped, wondering whether she should apologise. "You were about to hit the refreshments table." That should redeem her, she thought.

Tempest walked into the room, still digging through the blue goodie bag. This whole event seemed a little stupid to her.At least for her and her fellow Aurors to take part in. Because while it was nice to have a free trip to a ski lodge, the idea of no one being back home to look after things was very unsettling.

But whatever, here she was. She needed to try to have fun despite the crazy, train wreck of a minister trying to put his own spin on things or whatever.For today she'd just try and relax, that and avoid ol' crazy eyes himself.


Mercy on the other hand was just a little nervous.. She didn't know anyone here and had a whole department of people that were technically her employees. But she hadn't met any of them.. She was hoping they'd be friends.. or at least get on well.

Perhaps she should get checked in first and then try to talk to others. She headed to the counter and did all the check in things, getting her bags sent to her room or whatever.. She wondered if this was some weird thing because of the minister... did they have to share rooms like children? She really hoped not.

Sure she wanted to make friends but personal space was also a priority.

Despite being (mostly) blind, Adam could tell there were other people in the room. Perhaps it was his hearing, which had increased since his eyesight lost. Perhaps it was his sense of smell. Either way, he knew he wasn’t along with the strange language speaker he had bumped into. He felt a draft on the back of his neck. Perhaps he better move further into the room.

Adam reached out with his black and white stick trying to feel his way around the room. He hit a few (too) many things as he shuffled along.

Hmm…perhaps finding morsels was going to be harder then he thought…


She blinked at him as if in slow motion. She wasn't sure was he....blind? Hmm, possibly he didn't appear to realize that he was hitting people with that stick. "?thgirla uoy erA" she repeated when he asked her to repeat what she'd said. Oh, was she to be louder? Maybe he was partially deaf too? She hadn't even noticed that her speech was off at all.

Her eyes went to the girl that turned him a bit so he wouldn't knock over refreshments.

If there was somewhere that Jake did not want to be, it was right here. It was true that he had actually missed the routine of his workdays at the ministry, and was going just a little bit out of his mind at home surrounded by a bunch of rowdy kids (and, in one case, a constantly hysterical newborn). But... well, even if the kids were driving him mad, he wasn't entirely sure he liked being here (with the missus, at least) and leaving them all with someone else. Not only did he have his own three now, but also a grandson to boot. Given they were taking care of Aslan's little one so she could get on with school, it didn't make a whole lot of sense that almost straight away they were leaving him - and their own three monsters - with one of Jake's brother's just so they could go to this ski resort. For 'work'.

Yeah, what Jake wanted more than anything was to get back home, but he got the impression they were sort of expected to show up here given it was an extension of work and all. So... here he was. With his beautiful wife, who was likely off mingling with some of her colleagues. Jake supposed he had better go and find some colleagues to mingle with as well, but, wouldn't you know it, the second he sank down into one of the far-too-comfortable chairs near the fire, he had realised just how exhausted he was. Perhaps a break here wouldn't be so awful.

Of course, now he was relaxed, and probably in danger of falling asleep if he let his eyelids droop even just a little, so Jake tried his best to prevent that. Merlin knew, it would only invite some upstart little auror to come over and start yelling the phrase he was sick to death of hearing: 'Constant vigilance!' He supposed it would be a great opportunity to hex someone's nose inside out, but all in all that was a situation that was to be avoided.

Heaving the great sigh of the world-weary, Jake shuffled forwards to sit on the edge of his seat before he could become too comfortable, rubbed his thumb and forefinger across his eyes, then looked around the lounge at those who had assembled. Some he knew, some he didn't recognise at all, and already a lot to take note of. The-phrase-that-must-not-be-spoken was annoying, but it was also necessary. One could never truly their guard down in the wizarding world, even people who were capable of it (of whom Jake was not one). Something untoward could be happening at any moment, even right now.

Deciding he preferred not to dive right into the proceedings just yet, Jake stayed perched on the edge of his chair and simply watched all that was going on in the room.

”Vhat?” he asked again. ”Ist dat English?” he asked giving up all attempts at understanding. English was a strange, strange language, and his lack of human interaction must have given Adam some set back on the understanding he was having with it. Before an exploding star damaged his eye site, Adam had at least been able to observe body language in his attempts to understand others, now he didn’t even have that.

So forgive the poor semi-blind man, if he was a bit…on-point, with his directiveness.

Completely ridiculous, but fantastic!

Returning indoors from the cold, he breathed a sigh of relief as the warmth rushed through his cheeks. That's when he smelled it. Cinnamon buns? Merlin's beard, it's like they read his mind. Did they? Naaah.. In any case, before the minute had passed, he was already munching on a bun and slurping on a cup of hot cocoa. He gave polite nods and smiles to everyone within the immediate area, but focused mainly on his delicious treat. Which is perhaps why he was so startled when the chair in front of him got smacked by something and made an uncomfortably loud noise.

He darted his gaze towards Adam and raised an eyebrow. "You alright, mate?" he begrudgingly decided to postpone the next bite of his bun to allow for the chance that he might have to have a conversation within the next few moments.

Chunchings and munchings. Yes, Adam was in the right spot for the tasty morsels. Only where were they? His head turned towards Gidwyn who was snacking on something.

Sniff…
Sniff…

He smelt cinnamon. Cinnamon and….coffee?
Adam attempted to shuffle forward, but -

She did see the Orientation as part of her job, however, so she was there. It had been a while since she had rolled her eyes so often, but she was there. Maybe she could mingle with some of her colleagues who might find that type of Orientation as insane as their 'leader' and they could complain together.

Making her way to the lounge, the former Ravenclaw sent 'greeting' looks - if there was such a thing - around to those who worked in the same Department as her, and looks that might've been mistaken as judgemental to those who didn't know her. She was just studying the room, not exactly judging anyone. No one should feel offended; if they did, that was too bad.

The woman approached the refreshments table and went to pour some hot tea for herself. While others chatted over the same table, her hand reached for a cup almost in slow motion, as her gaze slowly drifted to the where the milk was. Her other hand slowly but surely reached for it and she immediately resumed making tea with the precision necessary to brew a Draught of the Living Dead.

Before she could finish her perfect brew, she was whacked on the leg not only once, but twice. Turning abruptly, Angelica pursed her lips. "Excuse you." She spat, only then realising the man was using the cane to get around. She placed a hand on his shoulder and turned him away from her rather quickly. Quicker than she was intending, even. Surprised by her... strength (?), the woman momentarily stopped, wondering whether she should apologise. "You were about to hit the refreshments table." That should redeem her, she thought.

- was stopped. “Vhat?” he asked, as someone turned him. The hand not holding his black and white cane waved a bit in the air. ”Oh. Sorrysorry! Can'tseevellyouknow.” Adam said in a speed that sounded perfectly find to him, when in actuality, he sounded like a teenager on caffeine. He reached out with his cane.

Tap.
Whack.
Tap..tap.

”Vait…” It took him a moment to realize that the female had turned him away form his goal. He tried turning around again, his cane reaching out as he did so.

After giving the woman (January) a polite glance and nod, Albert made his way back to his armchair, and slowly sipped his hot drink.

Now, where are the other Creatures employee...and most importantly, where was his new boss?
Comfortable... Well, January wasn't particularly uncomfortable, though she did happen to enjoy the more, bland, stiff, traditional employee orientations more than the ski retreat where no one was really doing anything other than socializing. But the Minister seemed sure that this was the best way to go about things and she was desperately trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

There was some commotion going on around her with a seemingly blind man and some disgruntled employees that she didn't want to get involved with, so January began to make her way to an empty armchair. Before she could get far, a man passed her with a nod and a smile and a comment that made her realize she was being very transparent with her emotions at the moment.

"Albert," she greeted the man as he walked past to the armchairs to which she was also headed. She continued on her way and took up residence in the armchair next to her former coworker. "If I drink anymore tea today I think I'll explode." So, that told him just how nervous she was, if nothing else.

Gidwyn leaned backward sharply, a little taken aback by the sudden movement of Adam's head and the loud sniffing. Was he after his Cinnamon bun? Well, he'd have to pry it from his cold, dead hands. There was no way he was giving up this beauty. Luckily, it didn't come down to fisticuffs that day, as Adam seemed to quickly lose interest.

The man clearly struggled with his eyesight, if he indeed had any left at all, but his hearing was fine, surely? He hadn't answered Gidwyn's question, so one must assume he wasn't interested in discussing his well being. In all honesty, Gidwyn was nervous about asking again, in case he got a cane to the forehead or something. Wouldn't want to start his career at the British Ministry with something like that!

Default Adam!

What was it with her timing today?! She had accidentally followed the Minister into the sauna, because that wasn't weird. Now she had decided to go mingle with her other coworkers, and Adam was practically wailing on everyone! What happened?! She only knew of Mr. Gerulf as a peer in her department, but the poor fellow was having such a hard time that she approached him cautiously.

"Adam?..." she started cautiously. "It's Sam........ Maybe if you... take a seat? I can help get... er... whatever it is... you're looking for?" she looked at the poor fellow, and hoped not to sound patronizing. She just wanted to help him to not destroy the building.

Adam reached out with his black and white stick trying to feel his way around the room. He hit a few (too) many things as he shuffled along.

Hmm…perhaps finding morsels was going to be harder then he thought…
The cold draft? Yes, that would be him, Albert Morgenstern, whose timing was always perfect. He'd already secured his (low-quality) tea, and comfy armchair before the blind mand got the chance to whack him good. He may be cold-hearted, but he did feel the man's pain...somehow. But then, he wasn't an acquaintance...and perhaps a person he never would want to meet ever while he's in the Ministry. They already have enough crazy in the world.

More people flocked into the lounge, and he was a bit relieved that some of them were normal people. People like him who'd pay a day's worth to not be there socializing. Albert can and will socialize if the setting permitted calm and order. This event was, obviously, far from that. The Creatures Man gave a polite nod towards Olly, a fellow Level Four employee. He'd seen her around and was one of those employees he can tolerate. She's on his list of good-people he can (probably) have a good conversation with.

Next was a new face. And one who had no manners whatsoever. No hellos, just went straight for the cinnamon buns. "Don't they breed proper human beings anymore?" Albert murmured into his cup and took a sip of his tea. The hot liquid wasn't helping because it tasted sub-par. Merlin's sake, close this resort down now. Low-quality tea was a sin, did they know? But then again...what do they know? "Tsk." A death glare was given to his offending drink.

Another new face arrived, and this woman (Angelica), gave him a look that spoke a thousand words. For one who comes off as indifferent and cold on a daily basis, the woman should find herself receiving a calculating glare and a raise of an eyebrow. He followed her with his eyes and was unamused with her antics. She could've done better than that. She could've just told the man outright that he was breaking the resort piece by piece, glue him to a chair and give him food. And here he thought she had the guts to face the man head on. Weak.

While his teacup was raised to his lips, Albert made another calculating gaze at a newcomer, (Mercy). She was a bit hard to read, but one thing was certain: she looked awkward. The man had a hard time figuring out what the matter was, considering that he'd been comfortable during his first day in the Ministry. Shouldn't the new ones feel assured and empowered now that they work for the government? Albert sighed, blinked once, and took a sip of his tea quietly. There was just one thing that left him with an unsettling feeling, though. There was a person in this resort that has his file, and perhaps, assuming that all of the Creatures employees' records were reviewed by the new boss, he or she might already be out and about discreetly hunting them down one by one, quietly making observations.

And speaking of observations, Albert's eyes followed the next person (Jake) to arrive. A man who must be as tired as him...or more. He was a familiar face, again, having passed him by in one of the corridors, or when Aurors come by doing their patrols after work hours...yes, yes he'd seen him before. But because he couldn't care less about their names or their existence even, Albert chose not to acknowledge him, and just averted his gaze somewhere else...somewhere interesting, like his now empty teacup.

Upon hearing his name, Albert blinked, and looked at the occupied armchair next to him and snorted at the remark. "Quite impossible Miss Bones, but your present situation allows you to feel that way, though, don't blame the hot chocolate if it gives you an upset stomach." he said gesturing to the cup in her hands. "Congratulations, by the way, Senior Undersecretary." Albert continued, his words laced with sincerity. "You will be missed in Creatures." Her normalcy will definitely be missed. "I've heard the Minister is quite a handful. Makes me wonder how he got the position, really." At his age, he has established a good network of friends and acquaintances that fed him information, before it even becomes public.

Mercy could feel eyes on her.. It was a feeling every person knew. But it wasn't in a creepy way, there were so many people in the room that someone was bound to be watching. Plus she suspected most of these people already knew each other so maybe she was standing out.

Either way she caught the man's eyes on her and looked back at him. Hmm..
He was familiar. She was positive she'd read his file. He was one of her employees. So with her bags checked in she decided to make her way over and introduce herself. "Al..bert, right?" Cause names were not her strong point. "I'm Mercy. You're a creatures employee, right?" She didn't wanna come out and say she's his new boss, that sounded a bit braggy..Didn't it?

If it weren't for that man who went straight to the sticky buns, and a rogue blind employee whacking his way around, Albert would've helped himself to some bread and whatnot, but until the chaos died down, he was to remain in his corner and towards the nearest tea station that sat conveniently well away from the rowdy, weird employees up front.

Excusing himself, Albert got up, served himself another fresh cuppa, and went back to his comfy armchair folding his left leg over the other. Saucer in his left hand, teacup close to his parched lips, Albert looked up when a woman approached him verifying if he was Albert. Klaxon bells rang in his head, thinking that only one person will confirm his identity. He was lightning fast to deduce that the woman before him wasn't an Auror doing a background check (since he's not a newcomer)...or someone from his past even, because, he would know.

Putting his teacup back to its saucer, and the saucer onto the small table between him and January, Albert laced his fingers together and propped his elbows on the armrest of his chair. "Yes miss Mercy, I'm Albert, and I'm from the Creatures Department. May I know why you're asking?" She didn't look lost, perhaps she's trying to find a kindred spirit within the chaos called the Ministry? Because if she was, he'd be more than happy to point out who to avoid.
