Level 4 Work Areas and Cubicles
 

Nikos strolled into the new work area and looked around. The place seemed so organized and bigger than his previous work space. He knew that they were changing the workspace but he didn't know what to expect, though he did like the idea of being in the same room as the other divisions and thier heads.

He saw no point in deciding which cubicle he would take for his raven, who had been perched on his shoulder, flew over to a decent sized one by the window. Following suit he walked over to his new work space and place a box of his belongings on the chair.

With a flick of his wand he attached Marigold's silver perch on his side of the cubicle. He pulled two pictures out of the box, one of him with his parents and the other of him with his late fiance, and placed them where the sunlight hit the desk. Finally he pulled out supplies he would need for work and a few poetry books.

Nikos placed the box under his desk and sat down, rolling back the sleeves of his black thermal shirt, which went well with his black jeans and shoes, and picked up one of his books to read while he waited for more people to arrive or an assignment.

Using his finger as a bookmark, Nikos looked up from his book when he heard footsteps. He leaned back in his chair and thought about the question as he glanced around the room.

Truth was he didn't know how he felt about the new arrangements. Shrugging his shoulders he looked at his boss."Its fine I guess. Gonna take some getting used to, especially working in the same room as the other divisions. Might I inquire the reason for the change?"Turning his chair so that his entire body faced Stryker, waiting for an anwser as he caressed Marigold's feathers.

Nikos smiled at his friend who didn't seem to thrilled about the change. "I heard something, but didn't know what to expect. Its not to bad." He looked around at the office once again, still not yet used to it. He looked back to his friend."Sure, where do you wanna talk?"Nikos figured the new open office wasn't the best place to have a private conversation.


Stroking Marigold's feathers, Nikos listened to his boss explain the reasons for the change. He nodded in agreement. "The creatures are a nice touch, so long as the stay little...and ingenuous." Having perilous creatures running around the office would not be fun. He figured it shouldn't take him to long to get used to the place seeing how he was still geting used to his old work space.

Sorry its so short.
 

Rinatta had walked into the newly designed Level Four, the work areas now combined. She had been watching Torio as the poltergist ,that had hit her upside the head with a book, chased him now playing tag with him. After so much havoc wreaked she had paused to play with the young wizard. It was a relief for Rin that she had decided to play with him instead of assaulting him after he had jumped out in front of her and said Boo, she thought that she may need to take an employee to St. Mungos her first day as Division Head. Rin was glad that there had been time to get the divisions cared for and cleaned up after the poltergist had trashed them all, thanks to Torio diverting her unwanted attentions. She smiled as she saw the young man enter the room , grinning broadly albeit a bit out of breath it seemed. His plan had been working so she was allowing him to continue, staying relatively close so that she could help if need be. She knew that she could have trapped the poltergist, but they both seemed to be having fun and she was no longer assaulting employees, so Rin decided to let it go on for a little longer.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The poltergist had still not lost interest in playing with the young wizard and was still flying after him, giggling all the while. It was a vast improvement from the shreiking, throwing articles and havoc that she had been causing earlier. As she came into the room after him she gave a loud scream and charged forward , her demure see through hand held out to tag him. She was still looking for mischief, though she seemed to be behaving ......for the moment.

"Ah ha! There you are!" Torio beamed at the poltergist as she made herself present in the room. "I was wondering if I had lost you on that last flight of stairs. They're tricky little--whoaa!" He jumped to the side as he threw his arms up in the air above his head, just barely missing her attept to tag him. Although really, if she swung her arm just a little to the right, his side was right there, all ready to be tagified.

Grinning down at the ghost, he took the spare moment to stretch, rising up on his tipi-toes and extending his fingers toward the ceiling. "You know. I still don't know your name. I can't go around calling you Polty."

Derfel walked, unblinking into the new office area, looking for an unoccupied cubicle, finding one next to another in his division, he immediately set out his things, smiling greetings at his colleagues

Elliot was rather nervous about asking Nikos for such a huge favor, after all he hadn't known him that long. "I suppose I'll just come right out and say it." He took another deep breath Elliot knew this was probally not the best place to be asking, after all this was the office that they work in, but after they had handel the pesky poltergeist together, Elliot figured they were friends. "I'm getting married soon, and I need a best man.....so would you be my best man?" Elliot waited for the verdict to come in.

Torio turned to speak to the poltergist , beaming at her. She beamed back , while flying forward to tag him. As he shifted she missed him and kept flying, giggling apparantly for the way he dodged. She turned around and watched as he stretched, hinting for her to tell him her name. She floated over to him grinning and attempted to tickle his exposed side , and giggled as one would when they were being tickled.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Rinatta had been watching carefully to make certain that her employee didn't get hurt while dealing with the poltergist. Though she seemed calm for the moment , Rin knew from experience that it didn't nessesarily mean anything. She sipped her coffee watching them calmly, she wore heels today as she was still getting used to the idea of wearing them. As she went to get something off of her new desk though, a kneazle interupted her path ,causing her to trip and fall forwards, as she was not so good in heels yet, and splash her coffee through the poltergist and down the front of Torio. She was really disliking the new office design at the moment.

Nikos was speechless, this was not the thing he was expecting. They had only known each other for a month, though the incedent with the poltergeist had made them good friends. Scratching his head he turned to a crupie chasing its sibling before looking back to his friend. "Um....wow....sure. I'd love to be your best man. Though I gotta tell ya this is my first time so you'll have to walk me through it." He chuckled softly at the joke, rubbing his neck. "And I would like to meet the lucky lady, soon if you don't mind."

Although he wasn't too sure whether he could actually feel the poltergiest's tickling, he could imagine it well enough and responded as the ghost wished him to as demonstrated by her giggle. Laughing, Torio squirmed away from her fingers. "Hey!...This is supposed...to be tag...not...tickle the Torio!"

Reaching back he put a hand on a desk to steady himself so as not to fall over. It was a good thing too, for no sooner had he done so than a woman tripped towards them. His first instinct was to push away from the desk and snap his arms out and around the poltergiest to catch the woman by the arms. Heat seared through the front of his clothes, scalding his skin as the black liquid jumped from the woman's cup to greet him. A small yelp of pain and surprise left his throat as he arched his back to try and peel his skin away from the soaked fabric, still maintaining a firm hold on the woman's arms.

Hanna slowly entered the new office. It looked much different than the way she was used to and had trouble finding her cubicle. It was much different, yes, but Hanna could deal with the changes. As she entered her cubicle, a puffskein zoomed across her desk and jumped ontop of her chair. Picking it up lightly, the puffskein began to squirm in her hands.

Hanna slowly lowered it back onto her desk and gasped as a yelp came from the hallway. Peeking her head out of her cubicle, Hanna raised her eyebrows in confusion as she turned and saw a man soak with coffee, while holding onto a poltergiest, and the new department head, Rinatta Ravenna Cross trying her best to stand up still.

Nessa entered the office again after going out into diagon alley. Her eyes widened at the sight of a man drenched in coffee. And apparently some kind of poltergeist running around. She pulled out her wand and pointed it at the man soaked with coffee. "Evanesco, Episky!" she cast. At least he wasn't covered in coffee anymore, and the Episky spell ought to have helped the burns a little. "Are you alright?" she asked.

"Good thinking." Hanna said in her rich Icelandic accent. "Here, this should help the burns." she said as she pointed her vine wand at the man-drenched-in-coffee's chest and muttered, "Burnducto.", under her breath. "Better?" she asked, tilting her head to the side.

"Good job." Nessa commented. She switched her wand into her left hand and held out her right. "Nessa Denauve, and you are?" she asked the girl. Apparently the poltergeist was still running around. She felt something bite her ankle and she yelped in pain. "Owwww! Stupid poltergeist!" apparently, it didn't like that so it bit her other ankle. "Crap. she muttered. She switched her wand back into her right hand and pointed it at the poltergeist. "Confrigo!" but the stupid little thing was too quick and the spell hit a potted plant which therefore blew up. Then she felt it bite her ankles again. "Stop that!" Nessa yelled.

"Thanks man, I don't really know any one else since I haven't been at the ministry for that long. Don't worry there isn't much to it, just be there to make sure I don't run away from my bride. Feel free to stop over at my house and meet her." Elliot breathed a little easier knowing that he wasn't going to be out there alone.

for my lovely division head
 

Mathius walked into the department work area. Avoiding the people around him, he took a seat at a cubical and put his head in his hands. What was he doing here? He was not a people person. Pulling out his wand, he shuddered. He had avoided magic like the plague most of his life. Taking a quill to a piece of parchment, he wrote out:

Quote:

Mathius Monroe New Empoloyee: Spirit Division

He tapped it with his wand and told it to go to his Division Head. Placing his wand on his desk, he watched it fly away and settled back with a book on plants.

"I'll stop by after work. And I'll bring Marigold with me, she loves to meet new people."He smiled up at his friend while stroking Marigolds breast feathers.
