Default Conference Room


Department Map


The conference room is large, and magically adjustable so that it can expand to fit the entire department if necessary. This is where information and demonstrations can be magically projected for presentations and briefings, without worry that those outside the room will overhear thanks to the enchantments in place. A large circular table is in the center of the room surrounded by comfortable - but not too comfortable that you would want to sit in them all day - chairs for each employee.

All divisions of the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes are permitted to make use of the conference room, but meeting times must be booked so that there are no clashes.

To book the room for your division, please PM DaniDiNardo.

It was time for a staff meeting, and as a good personal assistant, Daisy had made sure to come in extra early and set everything up as it was needed. Now everything would be in order for her boss when it was time to get down to business. She had even made sure to bring a few apples since she knew that he had a liking for the fruit.

Now everyone else just needed to arrive so that they could get started on things.

New department head…

That was the most obvious bit of news as Gideon came into the department to read the notice about a meeting in the conference room. He might not be the most outgoing person, but he wasn’t hidden under a rock or in a cave enough to not know who was who, at least in the boss department. So he prepared for dealing with the little get-together rather than just heading back into whatever work he had going for him. He even slipped down to the cafeteria to grab an apple when he retrieved something else to drink than the usual coffee of the level.

And it was with said requested fruit that he appeared within the doorway of the conference room. The relatively empty conference room. “Good morning,” he greeted the woman there simply yet politely. The PA, Daisy, he managed to remember from the interactions with her.

This Quigley guy knew.

Her expression had contorted into a grimace and was just about to groan at the prospect of yet another start of year meeting, but was caught in her throat as she read on. He got brownie points for that, she supposed. Sluggishly heading over to the conference room, she stepped inside, surprised that she managed to be one of the firsts there. How even?

"Hey," she greeted as she claimed a seat, face half hidden behind her cup of coffee. "Either of you have an extra apple?"

Swedishfish Girl! Madame Librarian! Jess's Soul Sister! Sweetest Swede!

First real day back without Aron in charge.

Logan had learned the previous night from the orientation event buzz that his new bosses name was Maddox Quigley. So it came as no real surprise when he read the announcement board notice that called everyone to a new start of the year department meeting.

He bypassed the break room to pick up a cup of coffee with extra milk and sugar and a few red apples like Maddox for some odd reason had wanted them all to bring to the meeting.

Stepping into the conference room Logan noted that he wasn't the first one to arrive. With his cup hand he waved to first Daisy, then Gideon and last his sister-in law Mary as he greeted cheerily. "Good morning Daisy, Gideon and Margaret! Did you have good holidays?"

Going over to claim one of the empty seats next to his sister Mary at the table, Logan asked suspiciously. "Have you turned a new leaf or something sis? You're never this early for a department meeting."

Placing the red apples on the table in front of him, he took a sip from his coffee cup. What did they need apples for?

Though the redhead was exhausted from talking to her husband in the middle of the night about this job, she breezed into the room and stood in a back corner where she could see the door and everyone. Becca knew those chairs wouldn't be comfortable and she really didn't want to sit down. If she did, she might not get any work done!

Her arms were crossed and she held an apple in her right hand. What she was going to do with it, she didn't know. If the Department head was very rude and using his employees to get free stuff, she was going to throw it right at his face. Maybe aim for his nose. That would be a good first impression. While she was musing on this, the smell of coffee reached Becca's nose and she pulled a face as she slipped out her wand and charmed the air around her to keep the smell away. People just had NO consideration! Her blue eyes scanned the people in the room, making instant judgements on who they were as a person. She didn't introduce herself, she wasn't here to make friends. She was here to work and since this wasn't the department she belonged in, she was just going to do her work and then leave. Now if only the man would turn up and get this over with.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

Megan was still not over her old boss leaving. He had been one of the best she had ever had but she still was willing to get to know their new one... Who didn't seems as though he were there as yet. "Good morning, everyone! Hi, Logan. Hi, Daisy." Why was Kai late? Zhenya as well...no, Zhenya had moved on. Megan really missed her already.

She moved towards Daisy, a bright red apple clutched in her hand. "Hope you don't mind me sitting next to you." Because Logan looked as though he were occupied and Megan's closest girl friend wasn't there as yet.

'Bring an apple along if they can.'

Derek couldn't. In fact, he could barely keep it together after he found out his old boss Aron had left just before he decided to go back to working in the Ministry. Did he consider not showing up at all? You bet. The last 4 years as an independent Forensic Specialist did him a load of good, even Derek could see that. However, he had been able to work alone for most of those 4 years and going back to meetings and seeing friendly - and no-so-friendly - people smiling at him and wanting to chit-chat...

Ugh.

Derek was already dreading it. He came in to the conference room because he knew he had to and maybe it was better to get things over with sooner than later so he could get to work already.

So he was there. After entering the room, he glanced around rather quickly to see if he still recognised anyone from a few years ago... urgh, so many people already. Without saying a word, the man made a beeline for a free seat away from most people. Fair play to him, he did send a few short and almost unnoticeable nods around JUST because he wasn't awfully rude.

And just so people wouldn't nag, demanding he said hello.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Morning's were hard. You'd think that after years of being in positions that required someone to be up at decent hours one would be used to it but this was hardly the case. At the end of the day, mornings were still hard.

It was the bumping of the table that drew him awake. Then the voices. More and more voices as the room began to fill with people. Curiosity did very little to draw the cat from the spot he'd warmed under his own chair at the head of the table. Lifting his head, large yellow eyes could see several pairs of feet further down and he could hear the question of whether anyone had extra apples (he wouldn't be getting an apple from that one. Disappointing really).

Stranger still was the pair of feet that so adamantly made their way passed the table and to the back of the room until they were no longer visible. An onlooker was the first guess, a disgruntled employee was the second.

Unfortunately for him, the table was beginning to fill up despite the one who'd been kind enough to give up their seat which meant his morning siesta was nothing shy of over. Reluctantly, the black cat crawled up onto his chair, where he stretched back into the form of a man, slouched lazily in that seat. Only after seeing the apples all about the room did the man noticeably come alive. He even leaned forward in his seat (Some things were worth this effort). "Good morning." He offered, Sapphire eyes moving from fruit to fruit. "Happy you all could make it; even happier most of you managed to source the apples. I'll be taking those." A flick of his wand saw the shiny red objects of his affection rising and floating up to him. "As stated on the noticeboard, they're much appreciated." They were the real heroes in this Ministry.

Right, but they could begin the meeting. He supposed the stragglers could just get whatever notes needed getting from an employee or Division Head. "So let's get started. As you all know, Mr. Ashburry-Hawthorne is no longer at the Ministry of Magic." As he spoke, the apples were floated one by one into his magically extended pocket. "But rest assured you're in good hands. As most of you know, my name is Maddox Quigley. Maddox will work just fine, unless you've got an inch to go formal with Mr. Quigley." It was all the same to him. He...didn't care. "As stated, I don't intend to keep you long and might do a little walking around the different divisions within the week but before we get into the little house keeping matters, I'd like to hear from you. Are there any concerns? Queries? Anything you might need in order to aid your current projects?" New equipment Better furniture? He was aaaaall ears

Watching in silence as the department head turned from a cat into a... well... man, she supposed, Becca looked the man over and gave everyone else glances over before focusing on the man who was her boss now. Ugh. Boss. When he said good morning, Becca pulled a little bit of a face. It wasn't a good morning, it was just a morning. A good morning would have been her waking up with her old job, old life and ten years of her life back. Unfortunately, that wasn't going to happen. An eyebrow raised as the man revealed his wand. Becca loosened her grip on the fruit as he summoned the apples instead of just asking for them. Unfortunately. She'd just have to find something else to throw.

It took all the self control she could muster to not snort derisively at the man as he assured them they were in good hands. Fortunately, Becca's blue, piercing eyes had already sized the man up and she'd made an instant assessment of him. The first thing she noted was that he really just didn't care, as long as everything got done. Biting the inside of her cheek at his question, she took a slow, deep breath. It might be cheeky asking for her own office, a raise and a promotion all on her first day. Though it wasn't like she hadn't had the experience. She'd confront him personally about the position she'd been assigned and say nothing to anyone else in the department. Her face was expressionless as she waited for someone to speak and give the guy something to work with.

Alex had settled in before the meeting has started, the half veela was sitting there with her legs crossed, idly eyeing her new purple shoes. They had a bow on the back and Alex was mildly annoyed that it wasn't perfectly straight.. she was reaching down to adjust them when she heard a few familiar voices.

Whoa was that.. Derek? Her grey eyes shot towards him and she tilted her head.. well this was certainly going to be interesting..

And was that Becca?

She attempted to give the other woman a smile when their boss started talking and she sighed a bit and leaned back in her desk.. Yeah.. she was still an assistant. At her age! Could something be done about that boss man? Hmm?

Logan was not doubt getting an earful later for calling his sis something other than Mary. There was no time to worry about though when their new boss transformed from his animagus cat form into a man in front of their eyes. Pretty cool to see. Logan followed his apples with eyes as they were taken and pocketed by their new boss; Maddox.

Quigley? Hmm hadn't a Quigley been featured some years ago in a prophet article about new hires at Hogwarts? Maybe it hadn't been Maddox. No matter, focusing on Maddox questions Logan said "The obliviator division has gotten some new employees," eyes to Becca mostly. "Is it possible for us to get a training hour or two together in the trial and training room to get to know each other better? Trust is important when handling delicate obliviator cases in the field." Quieting down Logan glanced to Mary beside him wondering if she supported or objected to the idea.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

The assumed disgruntled employee that remained at the back of the room (she would be fun to work with) garnered an extra few seconds of his gaze before it lazily travelled around the room once more. Didn't seem they had many questions for now which he supposed worked brilliantly for him. Answering them could become tedious quite quickly.

Back on the other side, though, there was a question, one that he thankfully didn't need to give much thought to. "Consider it done." Jeffery? Carter? Logan? Was that Logan? Maddox had tried to spend some time in the filing cabinet but still, it would take some time--and interaction for him to get them all down. "I'll have something organized and set up for you lot by the end of the week so keep an eye out for that." Naturally this went for every other Obliviator in the room too.

The man leaned back in his seat, as comfortable here as if he was in his office or even his living room. Comfort suited him so he would never deny it. Hardly.

"My office is always open," He continued in something of a nonchalant bordering on bored drawl, "and if there's anything you might want to have a sit down chat about I'll be more than willing to have you. As for the house keeping matters, we'll run through them quickly." Maddox pulled for a piece of paper from his pocket and laid it flat against the table. The fact it was all crumpled affected him very little. "The lab's will be undergoing minor renovation. It shouldn't take too long, just installing a few new things and replacing some of the older models." Apparently there was space for that in the budget, go figure.

"There's gonna be a team building exercise scheduled for some time later on in the year. Next month....or the month after...." Eh. It would happen eventually. They simply needed to be made aware of it for now. "Tardiness." Blue eyes moved to the next item on the paper, "isn't my problem as long as you get the work done. Similarly, you could spend the day napping at your desk so long as you're willing to stay the night and work. I won't be walking behind you with a sonorus charm to my throat, quite frankly that's a lot of unnecessary effort to be wasted on people I'm sure are diligent and hard workers. Promotions are easy, just show up to my office with a good reason why you think you should get the job and it's yours." Why force people to work in one position they may become discouraged with and lax in when you could put them where they want to go and either watch them excel or show them exactly why they should have stayed put?

"Lastly," The man stifled a yawn, feeling a second bout of sleepiness coming on, "My office is a quiet zone. The rest of the department is yours to do with as you see fit with noise pollution as may become necessary during the day but not my office." He'd send them packing. His ears wouldn't be able to handle it and he'd be damned if he spent the afternoon nursing a headache on their account.

"If there's nothing else, then you're free to go." As was he....to the plushie cushion in the corner of his office. Unless anyone decided they needed a final word.

To stop herself from rolling her eyes at the look from the boss, Becca looked around the room and focused on everyone's faces. That was when she recognised Alex, she'd known her for a long time since Alex's husband had put Becca back together a fair few times, the man was a real hero. Giving her a small smile of greeting, she saw her reaction to Maddox's voice. Hmm...

Whilst musing on what could have created that reaction from Alex, Becca heard someone else speak and then look her way. She raised her eyebrows at the look and stared straight back at the man. Who did he think he was, going on about trust? Ugh. She looked him up and down, not being subtle about it and then looked toward their boss. She was playing nice so far, so Gid could shut his mouth when he asked her that evening how it had gone.

The red-head finally piped up when Maddox answered Logan. "Surely it should be done before the end of the day, just in case we are called out and stretched a little bit thin?" Did she have to teach everyone how to do their jobs?? As he continued speaking, Becca did her level best not to scowl at his tone. If he wasn't interested, why should they be? She'd been taking up the offer of talking to him in his office. Yeah.

His contempt for the job and stepping into a leadership position well and truly ruffled Becca's feathers. Her jaw was clenched as he spoke about the team building and then even said as long as the work was done, he didn't care! Biting the inside of her lip to remind herself that she couldn't change this just yet, Becca took a slow, deep breath. Her eyes were on her feet and she took one more deep breath before they were dismissed. "Maddox, could I have a word in private sometime today, please?" Maybe after she'd visited Gid and got her frustration out, or had managed to work off some of her frustration.

Maddox blinked a time or two at the woman's question. First, because she spoke! Real words that didn't consist of unimpressed looks but vowels and consonants. Second, because of the nature of her question. The man cocked his head to the side in slight curiosity. Today? In case they were called out onto the field?

"Why?" He might have leaned forward in his seat but there was no need. "Are you saying that if the situation arose and you were in fact called into the field before receiving training by the end of today that you'd be ill prepared and unable to respond?" He wouldn't bet his hard earned galleons on that. With the exception of her, who he'd been the one to hire, the others had at least a year or two of Obliviator work under their belt. The training would be for sharpening skills already present. They wouldn't be learning something completely and incredibly novel. "Should we be stretched thin, the Junior Obliviators won't be sent out on their own, that's negligent, even for me. If nothing else, we may be able to pool some assistance from Law Enforcement. It's very likely they'll already be present." In short, he wasn't worried. Nah, worrying was a whole lot more work than he bargained for on the first day back, especially over something with an easy fix.

"I'd be more than happy to arrange separate training for you before the end of work today if you're feeling a bit uncertain about going out into the field but I'd like to assume the returning employees know enough that should a dragon tear through London, they'll be on it in a pinch." It was good she'd thought to speak up. He'd never know she had this apprehension; not by the occasional glower.

"My office is always open." The man rose with something of a stretch. "Stop by the moment you're free."

Aaaaand there is was. Stepping forward, Becca leant down against the table and looked directly at Maddox. "I am not saying that at all. I am saying that the sooner trust building and team building exercises are done, the better. I would prefer to meet all of the people I am working with as soon as possible. It helps to build a rapport and means that the department can successfully assess where people's strengths and weaknesses lie." Mostly her... but okay. "I would be more than prepared and likely be leading the way to deal with with the situation." Mhmm, so suck an egg, Maddox. The mention of junior obliviator had Becca bristling inside, but she didn't show that to anyone, especially Maddox.

"I will. I assure you." Becca replied to his final statement, her blue eyes focused on him completely. "Maybe after your nap?" He looked like he was on his way to do that from the desperation to get out of there and the stretch. There must have been a reason his animagus was a cat. Hopefully he didn't sleep for up to 16 hours a day like cats did.

There were so many things the man could say, like the fact that with the exception of the new bloods, everyone else was aware of strengths and weaknesses; like the fact that regardless of becoming buddy buddy with your co-workers on day one you'd still be required to work together; like the fact that it was the job of the Senior Obliviator to lead and currently she was not one. As it stood, the little energy he was willing to expend was used up on keeping the amused look from his face. Hardly appropriate given how serious she seemed.

Easily riled up and had a thirst for being in charge. He'd figured that all out after going over her file. When you were in charge for so long, it was no doubt hard to suddenly not be.

In another life, Maddox might have been concerned for this very reason--kept a close watch on her even but honestly......he couldn't be bothered. She'd find her footing eventually and he'd be right there to help in case she needed that extra reminder.

A wide, cheshire grin spread across his features, revealing the larger than average canines he sported subsequent to his botched animagus training. "After my nap sounds brilliant, if you'd be so kind." He wouldn't deny it. Naps were essential and they felt great. "I'll be seeing you then, Becca." Unless she had objections to first names. If she did, the man didn't stick around to find out. Instead, he left the room, his gait casual but graceful.

Eliora was in MOURNING.

She had lost her work husbands, both in one swift movement. Her Aron, oh her darling Aron that she loved to get under the skin of... and her Rusty. OH IT WAS TOO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT.

TOO MUCH TO EVEN WANT TO BE AT WORK.

Her toddler had been hellish and on some sort of screaming kick that morning and so she'd handed him off to her mother and dressed how she felt.

In all BLACK.

She wailed her way through the reception area and past Ursula and then into the conference room as late as ever, giving a shove past a male as she did so. She didn't even have time to stop and rate him. She wanted coffee and Rusty to make her coffee and Aron to ignore her shouts for even mORE coffee. ELIORA NEEDED HER WORK HUSBANDS BACK RIGHT NOW.

She took no time lying herself flat out on the table in the middle of the room and wailed once more. "SOMEONE GET RUSTY. SOMEONE GET ARON. TELL THEM I AM DYING WITHOUT THEM."

The Dodderidge needed her men.

At his reply, Becca tilted her head a little. He was insanely cat like, maybe he'd had some issues with being an animagus. Her eyes followed him as he left even though she was still leant against the table. The all black shadow that seemed to replace Maddox had Becca's attention because of the wailing and rudeness. Giving the woman a look of disgust and alarm, Becca straightened up. What in the world was going on?? The woman stepped back and gave the woman on the table a really weird look and then spoke. "Get your stuff together woman. You're at work and unless you want to be locked up by creatures as a banshee gone wild, I'd advise you get up." Sometimes tough love was needed.

....... Who on EARTH was this?!

Eliora sure did sit up, and she did stop the noise she was making but only to GLARE at the woman. "I'd advise that you turn around and walk away before you get your behind handed to you, newbie." She tutted, gave a roll of her eyes and discarded the complete urge to find a hot cup of coffee and pour it over this woman's head. "You'll learn that speaking to people around here like that won't get you anywhere. New boss or not." What a joke. What an absolute joke was this one here. Where had they found her?

OH HO. Eliora was going to be writing to both Rusty and Aron BEGGING them to come save her from this awful lady that was just heinous and ruining their level and making work sO unbearable.

She bet she was one of those ones who complained about every little thing. She looked it.

Troll face.

Finally the woman stopped the infernal wailing and Becca shook her head a little. When she spoke to her, Becca just snorted with amusement. "I'd love to see you try." This woman looked like she was in nappies when Becca was already a year or two into her first job. "I think you need to go find yourself somewhere quiet to sit and just accept that things have changed and you're going to have to change with it." Yeah, she wasn't going to mention that she'd dealt with people who were much worse than her and actually adults that didn't wail at work and be dramatic over something so useless.

"If you need help with that, please do let me know." Yeah, she could help her to think about something else. Like, maybe how she was supposed to be an adult and how to act like that.

Seeing her boss turn from a cat into a person was something that would take a while for Daisy to get used to, especially since Aron hadn't been an animagus and entered meetings the usual way. Quigley's was more interesting, however.

After smiling at Megan and the others around her who she was friends with, Daisy set about writing down everything relevant that was being discussed. This wasn't going to take long since the meeting was short and it was no matter as she was well versed in recording minutes. Of course she didn't have any relevant information to share as she was not a part of any of the divisions that the Department was composed of.

Once everything had been dealt with and they had been dismissed, Daisy set about finishing things up. Unfortunately she was interrupted in this by Eliora, who seemed to be taking the loss of Aron very hard and getting into it with another employee. It was actually rather sad. "I'm sure you can still see them even if they aren't at work anymore," she told the woman kindly. "It's not the same thing, but at least it's something."

It was clear early on that Maddox was going to approach things differently than Aron had done. Logan was pleased that his request for obliviator training had gotten a thumbs up at least. Then his new colleague Becca started to voice her thoughts about training and things. The mood between her and Maddox got tense so Logan was glad when Becca accepted to continue their discussion in Maddox office. He didn't want to be involved in a private showdown of minds unless he had to.

Their boss soon after dismissed them and left the room. Logan was about to rise and leave the room too to see about those memos and cases that he knew was waiting on his desk when Eliora happend. The wailing wasn't pretty but he understood it, and it of course got Becca to react again like a snake.

He had never liked female drama and thus Logan interjected as he got to his feet, eyes flashing from one woman to the other. "Stop the catfight! Just cut it out! It's not helping either of you."

Focusing on Eliora since he had known her longest he said "I'm sorry that Aron and Rusty aren't here anymore too Eliora, but that just means that we have to work hard to show that we can do well without them. Remember you can still owl and see them outside of office hours whenever you want."

On his way out Logan passed by Becca and commented "I advise you to ease up on voicing all your thoughts all the time, if you want to be liked." Try a softer more empathic route. Or didn't she know how? Regardless Logan left the conference room to get to work.

Everyone was being so nice to the woman! UGH! When the other man who'd spoken about her finally addressed her, Becca snorted a little bit. Catfight? She'd not even started yet! His kind words to the banshee just gained a small nod from Becca. Yes, they could be seen OUTSIDE of work.

Her eyes turned to the man who was supposedly her co-worker and raised her eyebrow. She didn't want to be liked. That wasn't needed for her to do her job, she just had to be efficient. Her eyes narrowed the tiniest bit as she watched him leave, but took a deep breath. Maybe she'd been quick to snap because she was so frustrated, working on about two hours of broken sleep and stuck in what seemed like a dead end job. Her blue eyes finally closed and she left the room to go and find some way of getting rid of the frustration and anger before she confronted catman.

Today, she was super duper early to work. This was uncommon for her, especially on meeting days, but normally because she had two young children to get to their childcare and also had to feed them breakfast. Children were much more work than animals. Eliora strutted her way into the conference room with her already made cup of coffee and chose a seat at the table.

Wasn't hard to do, seeing as no one was here yet.

Well thissssssss was boring.
