Default Office and Storage Room [Term 25-38]



BEWARE OF DOGS!

A slightly ajar door could possibly be seen behind the rows and rows of wands in the back of the shop; if you ever make it far enough down the aisles that is. Lit only by candles yet bright enough to be like daylight, it was the dirtiest of places in the entire wand shop by far, yet it still well organized and clean enough. Inside the room contains, surprise surprise, more wands! As far up as the eye could see, every shelf and crack was filled with a box that holds a wand for a lucky witch or wizard.

Covered with wood shavings and broken wands, yet neatly stacked with paperwork, was a large desk towards the back of the room. Situated to the side of the desk was play pin, possibly filled with a small child, or possibly not. Depending on the day. Underneath the desk however, lay five fully grown husky dogs and all rather protective of the young child. Whom may or may not be there. If you find yourself wandering back here without a worker accompanying you, you may be playing with your luck. Nevertheless, keep those grabby hands away from the wands!

Atropos walked in and saw the dogs. He drew his wand and aimed it at the puppies in case they came too close.

Entering the rather large and dark room, and closing the door behind him, he moved forward with intentions of lighting the room a little bit more when he saw the wand being drawn. Again.

Rolling his eyes, he sighed and whistled to the two dogs who obviously were now awake. "Dino...LuLu...back." he said firmly, gesturing his hand towards the side wall near their food and water dishes. That was at least one thing they were trained at. Seeing the two puppies move back and sit silently, their tales wagging as if they were getting a giant bag of bones to gnaw on, Bryce raised his hand forward to point out the desk and chair to the man.

"Please, have a seat."

He put his wand away and then sat watching the man. "This wand needs to be very feminine... and perfect. For my... lady friend." He said quietly... maybe he should get something for his wife while he was here too. No. Not a wand. Maybe he'd go back to Knockturn Alley and get something sparkling and expensive for the mother of his only son. Maybe.

Lady friend? That definitely caused some raised eyebrow action.

A wand, that the man was able to control the actions of. That was a difficult piece of work no doubt and would probably take all day and night to make. Probably till early in the morning if he worked non-stop. However, that was just the problem. If he didn't make this wand, there was going to be some obvious consequences. His skill was in wand making, and nothing else.

"Surely, you would like to help choose the wood and core? I have a variety of things here that can be of your use that you are looking for." Walking to a dark corner, looking as if there is nothing there, he reached out his hands and suddenly pulled on something. The sound of fabric rustling, and a few candles suddenly lighting near by, revealed a cabinet that looked almost as old as this shop.

"I don't usually use some of these particular woods, or cores for that matter, since they are rather valuable and hard to get, and the combination of the both is hard to process, but in this case...you might find something to your preference." Opening the cabinet, it indeed revealed a great variety of blocks of wood, and jars of things not normally seen in wood cores.

His own personal collection of course.

He waved him off. "You are the wand maker, make the perfect wand. Use the materials you feel will be best." He said and turned to the dogs. "Disgusting creatures those... They follow you around and need to be let out to do their business." He shrugged.

Well, this made it a hundred times more difficult. He would have rather had the man choose the materials, therefore, making him make less decisions in this agreement. Meh.

Grunting quietly to himself as he heard his dogs being called disgusting, Bryce ignored the rest of what the man said and started to look through the different woods and items. He did say something about Unicorn, and wanting the wand to be feminine. Light colors, purity, healing perhaps, or...hmm. Pinkish purple? That was feminine since girls liked pink and purple right? Or, maybe the lighter colored. Red? "Out of curiosity, do you want this wand to stand out in color? Or be more subtle like."

He could choose better that way.

"White." He said starting to get impatient. What was this? Twenty questions? "I want it pure, and appealing to a writer. A beautiful, graceful writer..."

Hehehe. Of course he didn't need to know the color of the wand the man wanted. He had already said at the counter, but Bryce was taking his time on purpose and trying to annoy the heck out of the man in the process. Wasting time though, seemed to be getting on the man's nerves so...mission accomplished!

A writer, eh? That helped a bit for the woman's personality. Seeing the wood he had in mind, he picked up the beautiful white block of wood and set it gently on the desk before going back to the cabinet to choose the core. Unicorn is what was suggested and the creature was the most purest in the world. He was not proud of what he was doing at the moment.

Taking a small vial filled with a silvery liquid from the middle shelf in the back, hidden from view, he closed the doors and let the fabric fall back down, once again hiding the cabinet from wandering eyes. Turning back to the desk, Bryce glanced to the man for a moment before a guilty expression crossed his face. "I am sorry to bother with the questions, but how tall is your lady friend?"

"5'5" he said narrowing his eyes at the man. He was being sneaky... and Atropos did notice the way he seemed to be doing everything hidden. The man could have put a donkey's hair in the wand in front of Atropos, he would not have known any better... but the sneaking... that was cause for concern. "Do you have a family... Mister..." and he let that trail off so he'd give his name.

Staring at the man for a moment, Bryce finally put the small vial on the table, letting the silvery substance shine in the dark room. Pulling out his own wand, he conjured another chair so he was able to sit and work at the same time. "5'5"..." he repeated, placing his wand on the desk and rolling up his sleeves before sitting down.

Picking up the block of wood, he scooted a ruler and pencil closer to him as well before wiping his hands on his jeans, his movements purely business like. Just about to pick the ruler and pencil up to measure out the block, his blue-green eyes once again landed on the man as he spoke of family. Why would he want to know of his family? "McLaughlin... sir. Bryce McLaughlin." Now with introductions halfway over, he turned his attention back to his work, a smile playing on his lips.

"If you are talking about a wife and children, then no, I don't have family." He was too busy previously to even look for someone, thanks to the teacher that taught him everything he knew about wands. "Yourself? If I may ask?" He doubted he'd get an answer though.

Atropos ignored the question. "A wife and and child aren't the only family one has, Mr. McLaughlin..." McLaughlin... McLaughlin... it didn't sound like a pureblood name. "Was your father a wandmaker as well?"

Now he seemed to be the one with the annoying questions. Marking on the block of wood the measurements he'd need before answering the question, Bryce took a quick glance to the man who he still didn't know the name of before looking back down to the wood. "No, he uh...he's a dragon keeper." Well, he was the last time Bryce checked. He hadn't spoken to him in quite sometime though so things may have changed since then.

It did concern him quite a bit that this man was asking about his family. The same one that threatened to hurt the children in the front of the shop.

"Dragon Keeper... a good hard working position..." Didn't pay that much and the danger was high... "McLaughlin... Daren... McLaughlin? I think I sent some work to him..." He smirked, "as a favor to Eliza... Is she your mother?" He asked his with genuine curiosity. The woman was a very attractive pureblood... from what he remembered.

...Ehhh, that was slightly creepy..

Having already stood up to pull the wood working machine closer so he didn't have to get into the man's space or anything, not that he wanted to anyways, if he was drinking something...he definitely would have choked. Great, so the man knew his family. He half expected him to start naming off his other five siblings as well.

"Yes, she is." he nodded, actually finding it a difficult to sit back down now. Moving the chair away with his foot, he fastened the wood block in the middle of the machine before picking up something that looked like a wand itself; but pointier and sharper. "Are you...friends with her?"

"Use to be... Years ago..." Now he'd have no issue having her taken care of... "Now mere acquaintances. Though I believe I still have her address... maybe I will owl her. Tell her I've met you."

Aw well, that gave no indication on what kind of friends this man and his mother was. Having spent most of his time with his father, he really didn't know much about Eliza. Though, if she were friends with this guy, he probably should have paid more attention.

"Don't worry about it. I'll tell her I bumped into you." Smiling just the slightest at the wand, he pulled forward a peddle like thing on the ground with his foot before gently putting pressure on it. Immediately, yet at a medium speed, the block of wood start to spin. Applying a new pressure of the wand-like stick onto the block of wood, he started to create the first carvings, making the block smaller and smaller.

"I want it to be stunning..." he said looking at the wood. "Something worthy of an empress." He told the man, she is worth that and more...

"I understand, sir." he said, trying to concentrate on the actual task at hand, though it was proving to be difficult. Different designs he could do kept passing through his mind as he came nearer and nearer to actually shaping the wand. On the other hand, the presence of the man was beginning to be a little too much, plus knowing what the wand was being used for?

If this mystery woman was so much of an empress, then why did he want to control the wand at the same time? It...made no sense. A bead of sweat trickled down the side of his head as he tried to pay attention to the wood carving and making sure he didn't make any mistakes. This was the only piece of wood he had of this kind.

"This is taking quite a long time." He said to to no one in particular. "I'm growing tired of idle chitchat. How much longer is this going to take?" He asked in a low menacing voice. "I don't have all day."

Hehehe. Time to annoy the man again. "I am sorry to say though, that it might take all day." he said, pausing in his work to look over at the man. His gaze did however glance over at the two puppies for a moment behind the man. They seemed a bit quiet and with one look, he saw that they must have drank from their water dish again. Bahaha! They were knocked out in sleep. Oh, he should change the water. "Or at least until dinner time. I'm working as fast as I can."

What should have taken at least an hour, was now condensed into less then ten minutes, and he was already starting on shaping the wand. No mistakes. Nooooo mistakes. Always repeating in his mind. "Perhaps you would like to get something to eat, or finish your daily businesses and come back at dinner? It'll be ready by then." In other words, leeaaavvee.

"If I leave, I will send someone else in my stead, and if he does not think I will be satisfied with the wand you produce, he will... show my displeasure." Atropos said glaring at the man. "I'm sure you wouldn't want that..."

Ehhh was he serious? Bryce pretty much got the point to either create the perfect wand or suffer the consequences threat thing here quite clear, but being told AGAIN was starting to make him sweat even more. "I...understand, sir." he said, slightly bowing his head. Sir. Pffft. What was this guy's name?!

Perhaps he really should owl Eliza and say something about it. At least it would calm his nerves some if he knew a little more about the man. Hopefully though, with him gone, he could focus a bit more on the task.

"Very well..." He said and stood straightening his robes. "I will either be back myself, or send my man. I assume the eight o'clock hour be a sufficient amount of time." He asked. "I expect to see greatness..." He said and left the back room.

Eight o'clock? That was iiinn...seven hours. Meh. He could try to get it done in that amount of time. Or, in other words, he'll have to get it done in that amount of time. Watching the man leave the room, Bryce scowled as he saw the door shut. "You won't be disappointed!" he called after him before turning and kicking the chair rather hard.

What was he supposed to do?! If only he paid a little more attention in defense class when he was in school. He didn't even have a quick-quotes quill or notebook in the back so he could document all of this. Even a- Oh, hey...the radio. Hehehe. Music will surely calm his nerves.

Walking over to the old and beaten radio, and wiping his forehead on his sleeve, he quickly turned it on and switched it to any station that was working. Ahhh, alas. Music. Just the first few seconds made his beating heart calm down greatly. Now, back to work...
