This place was amazingly awesome. Lights felt a flicker of pride looking at the new food court - not for herself but for Ethan, who'd had a hand in creating and building it. She had to give him and the rest of Maintenance due credit - what they'd done was great. However, the real reason she was here was not to admire the good job her husband had helped in. She sat down at one of the rainbow tables, pulling up a pink chair and putting down her laden tray. Bacon sandwich (she couldn't resist bacon), two fudge chunk brownies and a pot of raspberry tea. Lights had forced herself off coffee when she was pregnant was Naomi, and even after she'd lost the baby she hadn't gone back to her confessed addiction. Now she was being truly English and becoming obsessed with tea. |

"I don't think you give yourself enough credit." She thought the eagle fit him perfectly. After all, he was strong enough to deal with her, and she could be a handful at times. Though maybe not as much of a handful anymore, now that her younger, more rebellious years were behind her. |

Ministry's new food court, this place was actually something good in comparison to what he could find back at the American ministry. He really needed to stop comparing aspects of his current workplace to his past in America! As he helped himself to food Ben scanned the room, noticing the familiar golden curls of Lights Lennox. They'd worked together enough times for Ben to consider her a friend but they hadn't seen eachother in a while so they were due a catch up. "Hey there Lights!" he grinned as he plonked himself and his food onto an opposite pink chair. |

He didn't give himself enough credit? Uhm... "Is that right?" He grinned, leaning closer to kiss her cheek. "It looks like you believe in me enough for the both of us, though." And that meant the world for him, even with his lack of self-confidence. How could he not love her? |

Sighing, Roxanne took a bite, what actually turned out to be her last bite, of her apple pie. It looked like it was time for her to get back upstairs and work. Ugh. She so wasn't looking forward to the mound of work that was sure to be waiting for her when she returned to her desk. It was her fault though, what with all the procrastinating she was doing. Her boss was so going to have her head.... "I should be getting back to work, but I don't want too," she said outloud, pouting. Don't make me go back! |
Quote:
... work. Ohhh. They had to go back, didn't they? He was about to say that he felt the same way as she did, but instead decided to try and lighten the mood a little. "Technically, we could always go home..." He grinned, wiggling his eyebrows a little. Too bad they weren't at school anymore, where they could just skip a class... But Konrad didn't want to be on Amoroso's bad side, or even annoy the Minister, and she probably couldn't afford to do the same with her head of department. He still wanted to get a smile on her lips, though. |

Probably shouldn't... Huh, as much as he didn't want to admit it, they couldn't really walk home from work, just like that. "I guess you're right about that," Konrad said, sighing maybe a bit too dramatically. Seeing her pout, though... he couldn't help but lay a brief kiss on those pouty lips. "At least I get to walk with you to level two, if that's alright," he grinned, standing up and holding out a hand to hold hers. |

She glanced from him to his hand again and took another step forward. Drooling a bit more - some of the drool sloshing down from her mouth to his outstretched hand. "Brrrrr" it just sounded like she was cold - but the word she was about to say was forming slowly. As if her brain wasn't communicating properly with her own mouth. "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaain" it was slow. She was slow and lumbering as she walked forward again. Her movement yet again lopsided. "Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain" she repeated. Her words getting louder and more moan-like. "Brains" it was sounding more natural to her now. Like the words were always there. Glancing at the hand again she finally spoke a tell tale line. "Hand. Not. Food." It sounded like a question but it wasn't. It was a statement, "Brain food....brain" her hand pointed at Simon's head as she began to moan the word brain over and over again. |
SPOILER!!: Kyle Brrr?...right new symptom. Kyle was cold. Or at least appeared to be as his hands were still a few feet away. Simon moved almost to take off his robe and offer it to her but froze in place instead as the word was finished. Brain?! Yep...brains as she repeated the word over and over again as she haphazardly walked towards him. Looking as if...for all purposes like she was a ... Zombie?! The YATI couldn't help his almost unconscious movement, taking a step back away from her as that thought crossed his mind. What was going on? Yep, not hand as food but brains as food, Kyle made that clear to him. And not just any brain...HIS brain. Ravenclaws were known for their brains but they certainly didn't get them this way, by collecting and eating those that belong to others. "Kyle...what has happened? What's gotten into you?" Simon was trying to make sense of things, asking questions he likely wasn't going to get answers from, from Kyle at least. His wand hand lowered from his upraised position down to his side almost as if ready to get his wand back from his pocket but wasn't quick to want to retrieve it. |
Dacs had taken note that the YATI, Simon, had gotten up and slinked off tto talk to a friend. 'How nice? And how stupid.' she thought. He had gotten up and left a meeting they were having. She cocked her head as she split her attention between the meeting and Simon. Something was off, she could feel it. The look on his face, wasn't very alarming but he was a well trained YATI and he didn't show emotion. Dacs also realized that he seemed to position himself, in a less relaxed state. 'What tha...?' she thought as he was backing away from the girl, who looked strange. |
Demetrius came to the food court because of a scent. He had never smelt it before but it was delicious. Then he sees a fellow infected individual yell Brain. He knew it was the right idea to come to the food court. Brains were food for him and the another one(McFeisty). "BRAAAAAAAIN" Demetrius said with some difficulty.It seemed there was a disconnect between what he was thinking and what he said. "Braaaain" He starts to walk toward her ,slow and lumbered like a Zombie, so they could have brain food in a group. He started to mumble brain constantly. Like it was the only word he could say.The thought of brain food made him drool the whole way over to her. |
Roxanne made me do it...... *lol* (2 zombies included) Text Cut: Konrad Roxanne slipped her hand into Konrad's outstretched one. "How could I possibly refuse that?" she said smiling. Nope, no way could she refuse that. Not that she would want to. No refusing here. Anyway, just as she was about to step forward to lead the way, she heard something. Something disturbing.......

SPOILER!!: <3 When her hand was in his, Konrad felt like a lovestruck teenager all over again... which was the way he always felt around her. Well, lovestruck he was, that was for sure, but a teenager... far from that. Still, he couldn't suppress the foolish, wide grin on his face. They were just about to walk, when something... something weird happened. He thought it was his too rich imagination when he heard someone repeat 'brains', but then he turned to see what looked like... two zombies. Not the disgusting looking ones he'd seen in movies, but the way they moved... However, instead of screaming like Roxanne did, he just froze for a couple of long moments before following her far, far away from that food court. All of a sudden, his earlier idea sounded really, really good. Maybe they should go home, just in case that thing was contagious... or what if it was something in the food they just ate?! |
SPOILER!!: Simon & Dacs Kyle wasn't happy. No - she let out a grumbled groaning moan-sound as she saw Simon backing away from her. Her food was leaving her. She was annoyed - very annoyed that he was walking away from her. She just wanted his brains. Was that too much to ask for? With a momentary break her own brain began to work a little more - but all she could talk about still were brains. "s'il vous plaît laissez-moi manger votre tête?" (please let me eat your head?) she managed a grimace of a smile. She was attempting a sweet little innocent smile. She sniffed the air slightly and looked around as she knew other people were in the room as well. She could simply just bite someone else if this guy wasn't cooperating. Cooperation was key. She glanced around as she heard someone moaning in the room. Who was RUINING her feeding ground? SPOILER!!: Demetrius When she saw who it was she began to stumble-walk closer to them. After all Zombies were stronger in hordes. She moved closer and closer and closer to him with her slow lumbering steps. "Brains?" She spoke in question as if asking if he were there to eat as well. SPOILER!!: Roxanne & Konrad The screaming girl wasn't all that helpful. In fact the screaming made her want to go to her and stop her screaming. She glanced over at her and made a groaning sound but continued walking towards the other zombie. "Brain?" She repeated. "Team? Team up?" She asked her words unclear and almost disjointed. |
Quote:
He nodded his head and returned the smile just the slightest. "Just stop by anytime. I'm fairly used to heads wandering through. Just don't wander the greenhouses." Not everything in there was as friendly as he. "I watched over your area when they lacked a head before, help to take in a new bloodhound pup. I don't suppose you know how she's fairing now?" |
SPOILER!!: Kyle and Co. A groaning moaning ministry scribe was all the answer he got from Kyle to his question, not that he expected much out of it. Her speech was seemingly becoming more and more effected by whatever was effecting her and there was no way of knowing just how her own brain was. Simon was almost surprised when he was suddenly asked something in a coherant, complete sentence, even if he couldn't understand much of it. "Huh..." Sometimes he really wished he had the time to devote to studying French. It would certainly help understand her better when Kyle was in one of her rambling moods or like now when she simply slipped into the language of part of her family in the crazy moment they both found themselves in. And then there was another sound coming from another area of the food court. The YATI turned to look and spotted a guy who seemed to be in the same condition as Kyle. Uh oh, was it something that could spread? was the first thought that came to mind as he looked between the two affected persons stalled in place. However when the Ravenclaw moved to head towards the newcomer, Simon was snapped back into action. "Kyle...wait," he said taking a step back towards her. The former Gryffindor getting the feeling that the two...zombies together was a bad thing. Especially when she mentioned teaming up. So he needed to get her attention back to himself. Though seeing as there was no guarentee she would respond how he wanted her to, Simon debated over his next course of action. Could he use his wand? Should he use his wand? Was there another choice? Simon still needed to keep her safe, he felt that was something even if she wanted to eat his brains. So after a minute or two of deliberation, he stepped closer, his hand on his wand and out at his side but the words were frozen on his lips. |
Yes, A Horde XD SPOILER!!: Zombie Comrade "Brains" Demetrius said nodding to the other zombie. Cooperation is key if they want to eat some brains. After all you usually always see zombies run in hordes. He lumbers over to her and hears the word team. Yes now all they need is more zombies. And they can take over the food Court. "Teeeeeeaaam" He said nodding again. Now that they had a small horde they should celebrate and eat some brains. Demetrius looked around for likley victims. He saw two people run away. Well he could not catch them. But he did see one stay. Demetrius pointed to him(Macavity) and asked "Braaaains?" They were at a food court after all. |

She ran towards the nearest person who had snapped. Then she put her hand on his chest and put herself between him and the people he was walking to. "Excuse me!" She did not really believe he was dangerous, he probably just got a little drunk. Right? |
SPOILER!!: Kyle and Demetrius Quote:
This was getting ugly, fast. Dacs stood up and strode briskly over. It was not looking good for the YATI, there standing on his own. Walking up to his slide, as she slid passed the other man and whispered,"I think they think you are on the menu kid. Something is going on. It's spreading like wild fire and they look like they want to burn your hide." As she looked around, at the two, she knew something was off. Her radar was off its hinges. She became well aware of the weight of the wands she was constantly armed with. If needs be she would probably need to immobilize the zombie like employees. "Look, back off, he's off the menu and I would just give you bad indigestion." Dacs shot at the two. "You can take the guy, if things escalate. I don't want to chance you to your friend. You hesitate and Jax will not be happy with me about an injuried YATI. Ok?" she whispered back to Simon. |
This is so late. *mellow* Text Cut: Amy and Alex! :3 The Frenchie looked at Alex and then back at his girlfriend. Lip Bite. He watched the two talk to each other for a short moment and then decided to add some in put of his own. He knew Amy wasn't going to be too happy with what he was saying, but he was more concerned about his own feelings and his own shirt."Beby, I knew you deedn't meen to do anything but...ziz shirt of mine eez brend new frem France." Yep and the fact that it was French made him more upset. "I zeenk meybe you shood firzt get me a new shurt before 'er." He gave Alex a small glare and then turned his attention back to his beautiful girlfriend. Mad...was he? Maybe a little. Yes he was stupid, but not stupid enough to see that Amy was doing this on purpose. He wasn't sure why, and he didn't really care. He knew she had a reason, but still he didn't like that she had to mess up his shirt for whatever he was doing. He gave his girlfriend's hand a small squeeze, trying to hint to her to explain to him this all later. |
*throws her in hereeee* Kensi was feeling the worst she had ever felt thus far...she had just thrown up in the office(she mad it INTO the rubbish bin this time, thankfully!) and was clutching her stomach...she was drooling like crazy, and it was like a slobbery trail of saliva trailing after her...ew? And her eyes were all..unfocused...but they weren't as bad as they usually were..hmm... The redhead slipped into the seating area after getting a tray of food....her eyes going in and out of focus...Merlin, this was bad today! And she saw the scene unrolling in front of her...oh my...She was staring.... and then, all of the sudden, her eyes lost their shiny and glazed over, and the drooling continued. The tray of food fell to the ground with a clatter, and she mumbled garbled words...it looked like she may be trying to walk, but she couldn;t quite do it yet. Then her hand raised into the air, and stayed there. The twenty six year old wasn't blinking, and her body began to shudder.... |
Demetrius, Carlton, Dacs, Kensi and of course Kyle. SPOILER!!: Everyone "Nope...no brains available here," Simon remarked as the question was thrown at him once more, this time by the slightly older man. The YATI still awaiting Kyle's reaction. Simon then noticed Dacs only as she moved up beside him, his attention having been on Kyle and the other employee and no longer the meeting he had long since left. She was his superior if not directly, and he nodded at her words. "I believe I figured that out already," he mused, pushing aside how casually it came. Or the use of kid. Two people dealing with two others seemed like a better idea anyway. "Forget injured YATI....how about ill dau---niece?" Simon murmered, catching himself hopefully in time. He was still one of the very few who knew the possible truth and he really shouldn't be spreading it around. Whichever the case, he was worried about Kyle yet turned his attention towards the man as directed, the grip on his wand now tightened trying to be ready for what might happen next. Beside him,Dacs was watching Kyle but also concerned for him. At least he wasn't on his own for this one and he had to admit the more experienced MLEr was right....he was better off not worrying about having to take his friend down. As for the woman who had suddenly entered the frey, more crazy then the two brain-eaters it seemed, something needed to be said. "I would advise that you step out of the way," he said, adding a tone of authority as if a full auror asking for her cooperation. No time for semantics now. A crash from further off to one side of the seating area was heard but as Simon's head flashed to look, nothing was seen over the tables. |
