| Level Three Department of Magical Accidents & Catastrophes | 
06-02-2021, 10:35 AM
| | Training & Trial Room 
The training and trial room on level three is a large space set aside for employees of the Accidents and Catastrophes department in order to continually work on their skills, or try out some experimental charms for assessment and tweaking purposes. While the room was originally charmed to behave much like the Room of Requirement within Hogwarts, this is no longer the case. Instead, the large room is relatively empty, though there is a large pool in one corner for practicing water-based charms work, and some heavy duty crash pads in another corner so that if you are levitating yourself, anyone else, or working with objects that are otherwise breakable, dents and bruises won't be an issue. These crash pads are also useful for those who wish to duel as part of their training and trialing.
If you need anything else within this space, you are expected to provide it yourself or speak with your Department Head if it is something a little more questionable, large or dangerous. Many muggle items are available in storage for charms work (including a few automobiles) and you may indeed find some items within the storage cupboard on the other side of the department.
While this room is intended for use primarily by level three employees, those who work in other departments may make use of this space with a written request and approval from Raini Youngbird, Department Head of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. T-.

| Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent Early in the workday, Raini stopped by the Trial Room with his paperwork on this month's submissions for new charm approval. He was sure some of his employees would be eager to test some of them out for accuracy and safety before they could be officially approved. But in the meanwhile, his eyes skimmed the list for something that he might want to try out himself.
Origami? Raini knew of a couple paper-folding charms, but this newly submitted one had an interesting variation. He conjured a few squares of paper to get started.

| *peeks in here* :3 YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | BigBadSis | It's all in the Numbers Chloe had been feeling very restless lately. Was it the lack of events perhaps? She was an events concealment official, after all, but it felt like there weren't all too many events in the healing of the post-wizarding war era.
Maybe she ought to take a walk up to old department for a trip down memory lane. Visit with old coworkers. But for now, the redhead found herself in a sort of daze turning around in the training room. "Eleven o'clock..." She said/sang out.

But for now, the redhead found herself in a sort of daze turning around in the training room. "Eleven o'clock..." She said/sang out. Deep in the midst of trying out the newest paper-folding charms, Raini was surrounded by origami butterflies fluttering around his head. He was just about to move on to some jumping frogs when he became aware of another figure joining him in the room. "Ah, hello, Chloe," the department head greeted her warmly, but his smile soon turned into a quizzical expression. "Eleven o'clock? Not yet, I'm afraid, m'dear." Unless... he hadn't been occupied with these origami charms that long, had he?

Unless... he hadn't been occupied with these origami charms that long, had he? Whatever Chloe had been thinking about had disappeared the moment her department head greeted her. She stopped short of her spinning, and mirrored his own quizzical expression. "Raini, hi," she blinked a few times trying to collect her thoughts. Had he been in here when she walked in? She hadn't noticed. What was going on with her? "I think ... I need to sit down." She moved slowly over to one of the chairs in there, noticing the origami. "Origami. Can you teach me?" It might do her well to get her mind off the battle healing. And also the stress of thinking about her teenager and whatever shenanigans he was likely getting himself into.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf One of his Unspeakables had inspired his thoughts, but on the way to the Atrium from the Chamber of Codes he found himself taking a very obvious detour. His department head status provided him with ample clearance to pass through the Department of Magical Accidents & Catastrophes. His skin felt tight, his throat a desert, and his mouth either hung open or smacks his lips against one another. A man clearly on a mission, he had stopped for no one until he entered the Training and Trial Room, and even then he was an unstoppable lanky force until he stood at the edge of the pool.
Then, without even an ounce of hesitation despite still very much still being in a suit, he hurtled himself in with a lopsided SPLASH.

Jane Elspeth Howard Mysteries | New Timeline... The Death Chamber was lonely and sombre (even moreso than usual) without her colleagues around. Where was everyone? Jane Howard had wandered disconsolately up from the depths of Level Nine, her clothes disheveled and her hair unbound, up and down the corridors of the Ministry, and had eventually found herself in the training room on Level Three. Without a word, she walked straight across the room, stepped down the steps into the large pool, and was currently floating on her back, her long hair spreading around her like seaweed, sadly singing a strange song: "We live our lives beneath the sea,
A shoal, a school, a pod is we.
We ask just to be left alone,
Beings of water, the deep our home.
But the folk two-legged and bold,
Not content with what they hold,
Disrupt the peace in ocean deep
And seize Poseidon's gifts we keep.
Return to us what wealth you stole,
The staff and carapace you hold.
Your two-legged kin are safe, for now,
But not forever, this our vow."
She sang it over and over again... |

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Charles actually had business with Kendra on this day, but the pleasant done of whatever track it was someone surely had playing in the training nad trial room had his withered musician bones feeling more than a bit rejuvenated. While he was, admittedly, more than a bit out of tune with the music of the youth of today...Charles did think himself rather well versed and that he had at least a mild familiarity with most music these days. But this song...he had never heard before. Must be something from the new generation of ---
--- oh...no, nope. Not at all.
Charles naturally recognized Jane, he owed her his life in many regards with her diligent potioneering efforts during and after the war, and quickly concluded that she was not meant to be in here AND even if she were...surely she had not been given clearance to do THAT.
"Jane? Jane!?" Charles called out as the Unspeakable continued her singing as she floated in the pool like some sort of an ethereal being. No, less an ethereal being and more like a merperson. He would not go so far as to say a siren, seeing as his only inclination in getting into the pool was to pull her out of it, but one could make the argument for that as well. Slipping off his shoes and rolling up his trouser legs, Charles perked his ear towards the woman as she repeated the song, again, and...there was a certain familarity to her words. Certain nuances that reminded him very much of those spat at him by the Atlantian Merchieftainess. "JANE?!"
Why had he bothered to roll his trouser legs up, by the way? It had become abundantly clear as the Minister began to wade out to fetch her that it had been completely unnecessary.

Jane continued paddling gently along on her back, singing softly to herself as if she didn't notice the Minister's approach. But as he got closer, she began to slosh handfuls of water up at him. As she finished the last verse one more time, she stopped singing for a bit and fell into a dreamy humming. Suddenly she raised her head and looked at him with grey eyes the color of the ocean during a storm. "Something is very wrong," she suddenly said very clearly. "Things are not as they're supposed to be!" And her last word turned into a grief-stricken wail, which, as it finally died out, turned back into that strange song..."We live our lives beneath the sea...." |
