Default Fountain of the Magical Brethren



Halfway into the Atrium, gleaming in all its golden glory is the Fountain of Magical Brethren. The large fountain depicts golden figures of a wizard, witch, centaur, goblin, and a house-elf with jets of water spouting out into the fountain below. The focal point of the fountain are the witch and wizard, the other beings looking up at the pair with adoration. Gaze at the lovely fountain as you make your way to the other various locations within the Ministry.

Peacock blue ceiling with golden symbols moving over it, and polished dark wood floors, the Atrium serves to welcome all visitors to the British Ministry of Magic and is the place all Ministry workers must pass through to get to their respectable departments. If you look closely at the windows overlooking the atrium, you may catch a glimpse of Ministry employees, namely security, observing all those who pass through the atrium.

Not far from the Fountain of Magical Brethren is a small stand that serves coffee and a danishes to workers too busy to stop and have a proper meal. The large room is incessantly full of busy employees, but only a few ever care to stop and chat you up; our wonderful Welcome Wizard who is there to assist the public, and the security workers watching out for the leery. You should hope to only ever be stopped by the former, else you may find yourself taking an unexpected trip to the security office.

Flood the Atrium? Oh that sounded like a grand idea! More water meant he wouldn’t get thirsty again. Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink - He pointed his wand up at the ceiling just like the wizard in the fountain was doing and let it rain down over him. He was laughing again, then sputtering. The sputtering made his concentration on the spell falter and the water stopped. He coughed and then wiped his face off with his empty hand.

It took him a moment, but the overwhelming need to drink water was back. Clearly being in the water in the fountain wasn’t helping like he had thought it would. ”Jane?” he called out. ”I am zirsty…” he announced. He sat down in the middle of the fountain near where the centaur’s water sprout splashed.

Jane Howard, normally utterly neat, clean, and presentable, stood there in the Atrium drenched with water front and back, clothes dripping, hair coming down over one eye, and utterly dumbfounded. Though her Dept. of Mysteries colleague, Adam was normally a little...eccentric, she had never seen him so out of control of this. Something was obviously wrong and he needed seeing to. But the first step was to get him out of the Fountain.

"Adam," she began, in her most reasonable tone of voice, "I understand that you're thirsty. But drinking out of this Fountain is no good--that's not what it's meant for. Why don't you come with me down to the Dept. of Mysteries? We have all that bottled water in the Decompression Chamber, you know--I'll get you some while you dry yourself off. And then we can go find Airey, I'll bet he knows where there's lots of water." Jane knew from a recent memo that their Dept. Head was down in the Chamber of Codes--that's where she had been heading when she was interrupted. She felt he needed to see Adam, that this odd behavior might be something more serious than just an illness.

"Come on, Adam--what do you say?" she said coaxingly, and held out a hand to him.

Jane was a very smart woman. Then again, she had history as a governess if Adam's memory served him properly. Normal Adam might have been in awe of how she was handling him. He might have even been able to pick up a few pointers, if it wasn't for the fact that he was patting the surface of the water with his palms. "I do nicht know..." he said wiggling his wand under the water. "Ze vater here..." It might not be drinkable, but there certainly was a lot which made him feel better. And then she said the word 'dry' and lost him. "Nein!" He started splashing again as he got to his feet. This time instead of using the water casting spell, he started kicking around the water until he was standing directly under the spray from the witch's wand.

Jane stood there a moment sizing up the situation, arms crossed, a slight frown creasing her brow. It seemed obvious to her that this was not normal behavior, even for Adam. Something was wrong with him--possibly he was under some sort of spell or something. Even though a number of people had reassured her that Bane had been captured and contained and no one had anything more to fear, Jane was not fully convinced that there weren't other outliers from the Neo-Alliance takeover. At any rate, it was apparent that ordinary measures were not going to be enough to contain her colleague.

With a quick nod of her head, Jane suddenly whipped out her want and, pointing it at the fountain, cast the Drought Charm, then stood back watching all the water disappear. She kept her wand ready, in case Adam lost control at the loss of his fountain.

He could not be certain what exactly had compelled him to leave his office suddenly and venture all the way here from Mysteries, but Airey Flamsteed had arrived and was making his way towards the fountain. His throat felt dry, drier than usual, and he himself a dehydrated string bean despite the constant consumption of water from his Starfleet water bottle.

About five paces out from the fountain proper, Airey's usual bright blue forget-me-not colored eyes almost seemed to cloud over and his steps slowed and almost glided. A smile crept across his crinkly lips (he really needed more water, stat) as he watched the water cascade forth from the statue. Opening his mouth, he began to sing...though the usual pleasant musical theater stylings were no where to be found. In fact, the screeching surely would have The Chimaeras rolling over in their metaphorical graves.

Save for J who...well...that truly was unfortunate.

"REEEEEEEEEEEE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE."

His strides continued forward and, without so much as taking off his shoes, began climbing into the fountain while continuing his ear bleeding serenade.

Sophie left DIMC after the end of a too long meeting. She had mediated in a matter between two norse countries and, now she needed a well deserved break, and something fresh and watery to drink to quench her thirst. Bottled water only did so much to ease her constant thirst. Oddly enough even though she drank a lot Sophie didn't need to excuse herself so often to visit the ladies room, at least not so much that it had raised Mr Phora's attention.

After wandering around she eventually came into the atrium where Mr Flamsteed stood in the fountain's waters serenading in ear bleeading screeching song to the fountain's figuriens. She wast sure what drove her forwards, but soon the DIMC ambassador kicked off her sandals and socks and joined Mr Flamsteed in the fountains water. A duett would be lovely wouldn't it? Raising her beautiful face to look at the witch figurine she started to sing the same screeching song to the heavens in perfect tune with Mr Flamsteed.

Bathes in Maple Syrup | Dancing Lobster | Mrs. Charlie Weasley | Seneca's Beard | That's So Fetch

It had only taken a little more than a year and a new department head for Jordan to finally get the hang of being a personal assistant. The job was hit or miss at times, he had to admit. Today was one of those draining days. The meetings were nonstop, a number of conflicting engagements still needed to be rescheduled, and he had a stack of letters that had been delivered earlier that morning to respond to.

Fortunately he had been momentarily reprieved from all of that. Instead of being cooped up in level four, the young man was making his way through the Atrium, fully intent on leaving the Ministry long enough to get a nice lunch for Ho-Sook and himself. But, of course, something sidelined him from the task at hand: the sight of two screeching people in that Magical Brethren fountain.

"Umm," he murmured as he inched toward the fountain, unsure of what to do in this situation. Especially one that involved the Mysteries department head and a lady, who probably had an important job too, going for a dip in the fountain and screaming. "You guys alright?"

Obviously not.

Mostly unaware that he was being pursued by the brunette ambassador, the Mysteries department head slipped one leg over the edge and into the cool water of the fountain. Almost immediately his yowls masquerading as song began to soften and, upon his second shoed foot joining the other in the water, even began blending with coherent words until what the man with the (arguably) abnormally large forehead produced were as healing to the ear as they were lyrical. About time as well, had he carried on as such it was likely to have an effect the rivaled fwoopers.

"We live our lives beneath the sea... A shoal, a school, a pod is we..." he sung while his arms rose by his sides and gently bobbed up and down as though he were entirely submerged in water. "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..." The blonde Gryffindor alum's eyes seemed to both look into the very soul of the latest arrival to the fountain, while also looked right through him. Not just through him, but beyond the Ministry itself and to some far and distant land. "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."

By this point, and just before he dove right into an encore performance, the suited astronomer had positioned himself just beneath one of the cascading trails of water and was soaked to the bone. Ironically, the man felt more alive and more invigorated in this stance...which only meant that his singing grew louder and more ethereally impassioned.

"...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."


And just in case one had not heard it the first two times...he began a third rendition with no signs of stopping after its completion.

It was official. He needed a new assistant.

Or he needed a second one.

He wasn't sure which, but it was quite certain that with all the late nights he'd been putting in that he needed more help.

And that help didn't apparently solely rest with his assistant, he thought as he walked into the Atrium on his way down to the courtrooms. The screeching echoed around the area and only got louder as he walked up to the fountain. "Why is it always the fountain?" he asked nobody in particular as he stepped up next to Jordan. Maybe he needed to send a crew down here to make sure there were no hexes on the fountain.

"Mr. Flamstead, I know you're proclivities tend to err on the side of prophylactic, but I think this is really not the place..." Hugo yelled, trying to be heard above the screeching without using Sonorus, because clearly there was enough noise in the room as it was. "MR. FLAM-" Another voice joined is. "Oh Merlin's soggy bottoms..." he rubbed his forehead as the Scandinavian Ambassador decided she needed to join in the ruckus too. Where was Security?! He wondered looking around for members of his staff who should have been here handling this situation. "Ambassador Connolly, I really do not think this is respectable behav-"

And then the ruckus stopped being screeching noises and became words. Words that only seemed to get louder and louder, not to mention repetitious. He reached into a pocket and pulled out the notepad and pen he always kept in his pocket as he turned to the young DERP employee standing next to him. "Write down what they are saying while I try to get them out of the fountain." Without stunning them, he added silently. Hugo I. Bumble was not above knocking people out if he needed to.

"Expecto Patronum." A silvery crow emanated from the tip of his wand and took off down a corridor heading to Level 2. It's second stop would be to Level 5.

Default Hi ^_^
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

‘What now?’ had been Brody’s response to the Patronus that had appeared on the vacant desk next to his. The young Consulate felt as though he were slowly losing his mind with all the aftermath of the gala, missing Gabriel and the usual requirements that came attached to his job. Thank Merlin he had graduated from University otherwise he’d have gone bonkers by now.

Grimly, he made his way down to the Atrium. However, from a distance he could hear the rather loud voice which he recognised as Head of Department for Mysteries. Needless to say Brody broke into a run, Airey’s words registering in his brain. Of course it had to do something with the merpeople.

Skidding to a halt, Brody quickly observed the situation though his gaze quickly honed in on Sophie. Now it made sense as to why Bumble has sent a Patronus to DIMC. “Again, Sophie??” The words tumbled out of his mouth because this was not the first time he had encountered the Ambassador in one of these crazy moments where she suddenly had a craving for aquatic things. At least this time was a step up from the toilets. He still wanted to gag just thinking about that.

“Help him,’’ Brody told Jordan, indicating to Bumble. “I’ve got Sophie.” Perhaps of all that had gathered here, he knew Sophie the best and she might see reason if he attempted to coax her out of Fountain. Then again, she had been unbelievably stubborn back in the toilet. Cue him wanting to gag again because… Sophie had been drinking that water. The man plastered a smile on his face and approached the Fountain. “Hey, Sophie. Thirst working up again? You know I've got you covered with an endless supply of water. This time we’ll even get you a pool.” Not really but anything to get her out, right? He quickly dragged a hand through his dark hair. Dammit. This wasn’t going to be easy, he knew based on experience. This situation called for logic.

Muttering an incantation, he conjured a regular ole ceramic mug, filled it magically with water then added the finishing touch. “Sentio Somnium.” His wand circled the water held within the mug, his mind fixated on a larger than life, kidney shaped pool filled to the brim with inviting, clean water. Purple light from the wand mixed into the goblet briefly before disappearing. “Here, Sophie. You can bet this’ll quench your thirst.” Brody has put the Daydream Charm on the mug and the water so if Sophie consumed the water, she’d see the pool a short distance away which meant she would have to step out of the Fountain to get to it.

Fingers crossed that his friend drank from the mug.

When the Mysteries department head started singing ... screeching ... whatever the man was doing, Jordan took a few steps back. First, these people were clearly loopy. Second, it was best to avoid the potential splash zone. And third, his brain was going in all directions. Of course, he knew that he probably should have sent whisky silver Capuchin monkeys to people way above his pay grade, but he couldn't stop himself from gawking.

The sight before him left him speechless. Nevertheless, he was listening to the words spewing out of the duo's mouth. Beneath the sea ... we ask just to be left alone ... beings of water ... The merpeople from the flounder of gala quickly came to mind.

His concentration on what was being sung to the Atrium as a whole was broken when the Law Enforcement department head made an appearance. That meant he could go, right? Things were in capable hands and he could fetch lunch now?

The personal assistant blinked as Bumble pulled out and handed over a notepad and pen. With a nod, he accepted and ... it was then he overheard some other dude's comment about the woman in the fountain. This wasn't the first time this happened? The British Ministry really was special...

A stare was given when the guy told him to help Bumble. "I am helping," he responded, holding up the notepad and pen the Law Enforcement department head had given to him. Without another word, Jordan flipped the pad open and started scribbling out the words being sung. Lunch, unfortunately, was going to have to wait. The tea was piping hot: someone stole from the merpeople.

The guy (Jordan) that came in and asked if they were all right just got a blank stare from Sophie. She didn't know who he was, and she didn't care. She needed to sing along to this lovely song she was sharing with the suited man beside her. Stepping away for just a second to let herself be soaked with water under a fountain sprinkler was so nice and also quenched some thirst. Then she retook her singing. "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." It was by this time that DH Bumble and Brody also arrived at the fountain and caused Sophie momentarily stop her singing to look with glazed gaze at Bumble. "Who's pants are soggy? Are they wet with water, can i smell?" Wet pants were nice to lick.

"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." Joining Airey for the concluding remarks of their duette Sophie was preparing for another rendition when Brody's words caught her attention more than any of the other men. Leaving Airey's side Sophie went to the fountain's edge to look at the water in Brody's mug.. "Ooo water...Yes, yes i want it!" Reaching out to grab the mug from Brody's hand she quickly downed the water in just a couple of sips...As the magic came into effect Sophie began seeing a luscious pool of water in the distance. She walked out of the fountain water with excitement she said to Brody..."Ooooooooooh a pooool! Do you see it Brody? You have to come and swim in it, and drink the water with me..............please?!"

Reinforcements arrived in the form of a young man who he vaguely recognized as someone in DIMC. Good. He could deal with the ambassador; hopefully. Hugo knew enough to know that anything international should be handled with care. He wasn’t that tactful. As was evidenced by how he was currently trying to handle the DoM head. Had he been a parent, perhaps he would have known that yelling was never the best course of action to get someone who was nutz in hysterics to listen. Still, he needed to be heard about the noise right? "Mr. Flamsteed," he said loudly, choosing to ignore the squabbling of the other two men over helping or not helping. One of them had just better be writing down wherever these two nutters were caterwauling about.

The screeching of the two adults was starting to draw attention and while Hugo was sure that was the point of this escapade, it didn’t mean it had to get out of hand. Especially since his security team seemed to be MIA. ”Mr…. FLAM-steed!” His voice quieted just a little on the ‘steed’ part since it seemed the DIMC employee had somehow managed to get the Ambassador out of the water. ”If you are quite done, I think I could use your help with some pressing matters….” Those matters being to take him promptly to St. Mungo’s. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to take Ambassador Connolly too, if the DIMC employee could get her there. Flamsteed had a reputation for being on the eccentric side, but this was a little beyond that. Clearly both employees were under the influence of something. ”Mr….?” Hugo looked over to Jordan. ”When you’ve gotten that down, please take it directly to Saul Primeaux in the Inspector offices. Oh, a copy should go with Mr. Hardbone over there.” He’d taken a guess on the DIMC’s employee’s name - completely aware he’d likely gotten it wrong. Still, whatever his name was, he could get a copy of the information to Singh-Phora. Singh-Phora was supposed to be fairly good with riddles after all. He took a step towards the fountain and offered up a hand to help the DoM head out of the fountain. ”Mr. Flamsteed, surely we can find you some cleaner water to - croon in.”

curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog

Jay was NOT running late this morning. Not at all. In case anyone was wondering WHY he was just now crossing through the atrium...well, he'd just be out for a quick coffee at the muggle coffee shop down the road. A little mid morning pick me up, that was IT. He had TOTALLY already gotten to work and gotten started on his assignments for the day...he ran over the excuse in his head a few more times, just to make sure he really got it down in case he was questioned...

Things were going swimmingly, until he crossed the atrium and passed the familiar fountain that he passed every single morning, he spotted none other than his own Department Head - UGH, he was about to be SO BUSTED.

At least, that was his initial thought...until he really took a second to process what he was looking at. Flamsteed was...IN the fountain? He knew his department head was eccentric but this was...something else. And totally unnecessary! Who knew the last time they changed out that water!

On top of it, Flamsteed was screaming about something. Wealth that you stole? Your two legged kin were safe for now? Jay just stood there and blinked a few times, taking in the scene in front of him. Bro. BROOOO. His department head had finally cracked. The pressure of it all had broken him.

Thankfully, it seemed some of the Ministry workers were already trying to tend to the situation, but Jay couldn't just stand back and do nothing. He knew Flamsteed - sort of - because he was his boss and all - and if he was going to be shipped off to St. Mungos any minute now, the least Jay could do was try to deescalate the situation. "Mr. Flamsteed? Sir? You uh...realize YOU have two legs too, right sir?"

Yes Jabari. THAT was the detail to focus on right now. He was mentally shaking his head at himself.

Even if he hadn’t noticed the crow patronus of his new boss on the way from his rounds in the upper levels, Simon certainly heard the disturbance as he neared the atrium. The very off key Airey Flamsteed that he seemed to remember from another situation. As he rushed down the last of the stairs into the area surrounding the fountain the security officer’s gaze was already taking in the rest of the scene. Airey was there of course, as well as the MLE head. And another man, Adam he recalled, from a scene several years back in the Department of Mysteries that brought up bad memories. And finally Sophie whom he had known since they were both lions at Hogwarts.

Oh boy!

With Hugo and another working with Flamsteed and Adam being talked to, Simon opted for his friend who thankfully had stepped out of the fountain. "Hey Sophie...we really should get you dried off. He approached purposefully but slow enough he didn't startle her. Whatever was up was uncertain to him so he needed to observe before risking a negative reaction. "You'll catch a nasty cold." The security officer slipping his wand out to cast a hot air charm to handle things.

That… wasn’t exactly what Brody had in mind when he told {Jordan} to help Bumble. It was clear Flamsteed was giving Bumble a difficult time and - you know what? Never mind. There was a more pressing issue on his hands right now. The fact that Sophie had taken the mug and had quickly sipped away at its contents made him hopeful that his shrewd plan would work. Did he see the pool? Definitely not. “I see it,’’ he responded cautiously. “You bet. We’ll have a pool date, just you and me.” The Consulate offered his friend a hand. “Don’t want to keep that pool waiting, do we? Right this way…”

Brody did a quick check over at Bumble and Flamsteed to check to see if there was any progress. There should be a bit hopefully? He expected someone such as the Department Head for MLE could find some solution, even if it involved trickery. Hardbone? Who the heck was Hardbone? Brody shot Bumble an unamused glare. There was much going on but he still wanted to make sure his name was gotten right. “Hawthorne,’’ he corrected firmly.

The arrival of {Jay} and Simon just might help. Brody bit back a snarky comment to Simon because he knew the Security Head was right: Soph needed to get dried off. He also knew that he needed to get her away from the Fountain - or any other potential water source - as soon as possible. He needed to get her to Mungo’s before the Daydream Charm started to wear off. But if anyone annoyed him, Brody just might snap. He had had it with all these issues that had something to do with the Merpeople.

Quite done? Somewhere deep inside the man was indeed quite done. The unfortunate matter was that he had very little to say on the matter but MUCH to say on another. Precisely 79 words. On a loop.

Another step back and Airey was bathed even more so beneath some of the fountain's cascading waters, pouring over his head and running into his mouth just as he was taking another breath to begin again...which caused the man to both choke on the very water his entire being and soul was yearning for ... and topple over backwards into the water with a SPLASH.

The mild choking on water did one more thing for Airey Flamsteed, it partly knocked him out of whatever it was that had taken over him. Unfortunately, not in any capacity to acknowledge nor respond with any sort of proficiency to any of those who had addressed him. Lack of oxygen yielding favorable results...who knew?

Flailing and flopping around, the man eventually put himself in a position where he was sitting up, knees bent and poking out of the water, with wide blue eyes gawking at the collected crowd and visibly 'himself'. How could one tell? He was positively horrified to be soaking wet.

"...my suit is wet..." he mumbled with the quivering lower lip of a child who had just lost their favorite scoop of ice cream to the cobbled streets of Diagon Alley.

Sophie's eyes darted around for a moment before they focused on the amazing pool in the distance. Taking Brody's hand and holding on to it like a lifeline she laughed as she began walking away from the fountain toward the new water pool source. "A date? I um think I'm married...Can't remember his name right now though." Gordan she loved whole-heartedly. He was a good man, but her mind was still full of water thoughts. The arrival of her old friend Simon that was talking about getting her dried off so that she wouldn't get a nasty cold had her momentarily come out of whatever had gotten into her earlier. Looking down at herself her lips started to tremble and she began to cry her eyes out in front of Brody and Simon and anyone else that was listening. "I'm so cold....and my hair is so wet....what will my daughther think now...she will hate me."

Brody heaved a rather heavy sigh of relief. Now that she was out, things would be okay. The Charm too would start wearing off because he hadn’t made it to be that strong. If there weren’t a ton of other things weighing on his intelligent mind, Brody would have laughed. Sophie really did seem goofy but they would take care of her. She would be alright. “We’ll get you to Gordon, no worries.’’ The important thing was that this episode was over - for both Soph and Flamsteed. The Department Head hadn’t passed out from all the choking Brody had heard then? Excellent! It seemed that everyone came out unhurt; physically, at least.

Oh, look. It appeared the Charm was wearing off. “Oh, Soph.” She may seem dramatic but Brody was willing to chalk it up to her ordeal, even if she did not remember it, had taken a toll on her. He quickly conjured a hanky and handed it to her. “She will not,’’ he told her firmly. “She loves you very much.’’ With another muttered incantation, this time for the Hot Air Charm, the Consulate began helping the Ambassador to dry off.

Yeah, yeah. He knew he was a good friend.

And maybe someone should help the man-child that was Airey Flamsteed dry off as well? Or better yet, find him a new suit?

Between the two of them casting hot air charms, Sophie seemed to be drying off, none to soon as she had started to shiver and shake before breaking into tears. Simon felt for his friend as he let Brody do most of the comforting. He didn’t need to crowd her but be there for the support at the moment. “No, of course she wouldn’t hate you,” Simon assured her, echoing the other man. At least she seemed to be coming back to herself.

Could the same be said for Flamsteed?

The security man’s attention drifting to the man currently sitting up in the fountain complaining about getting wet. Did the boss have him under control or was help still needed there. Cue a hot air charm sent his way to get to work on drying his other half. The rest would need to be taken care of once they got him out of the fountain proper.

Indigo looked quite a mess. His face and hair was wet from an Aguamenti that he had cast on himself. Gripped in one hand was a conch shell, and in the other a trident. Both objects were still emitting a high pitched screech. Indigo, however, found it beautiful. It was a calling. He had rushed to the Atrium from the Department of Mysteries with one goal in mind, and he was so close to that goal. He marched right past anyone currently gathered with a look of determination in his eyes as he climbed directly into the fountain.

What in Merlin's Beard was happening with their employees lately? Or was this actually the normal? Sookie had been leaving to secure a plant that was called in, something regarding a plant was eating all the vegetables in a woman's garden instead of actually producing anything, but the commotion within the fountain had certainly caught her attention. Her presence was not made known immediately, no instead she was contemplating if London had ever been the sane decision, but the longer at least one employee remained in the very public fountain, the more she was starting to feel it was time to offer her assistance.

And maybe ask some questions. Like... why had they both chosen to sing that nursery rhyme? Was there some songs made specifically to be hollered sung from within a fountain? It was certainly feeling so. What an odd tradition.

Making her way over, the soft clacking of her heels on the ground, Sook stopped herself a bit away from the crowd - primarily to protect herself from getting wet. "Is everything quite alright over here? Mr. Flamsteed, you're certainly beginning to look a little chilled. Can I assist you out of the fountain?" She was eying Mr. Flamsteed and the Ambassador specifically as she said it, before looking over the employees who seemed more within their right minds.

Any desire to help or focus that had been actively on Ambassador Connolly and Mr. Flamsteed was interrupted by the screeching that filled the hall as yet another employee strode in and directly into the Fountain with hollering objects in hand. Sook covered her ears for a moment, glowering at the new arrival. "What is that racket?" And what was it with the Department of Mysteries employees?

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

After reassuring Sophie, Brody didn’t say much else. With Simon’s words as well, he figured that Sophie would at least be feeling the slightest better. Or so he hoped. The Consulate was just about to ask the Ambassador if she felt dry enough when another odd thing happened. All that was left for him to do was to stare after Indigo. Aside from the Mysteries employee being soaked in the head and face, he was holding a trident. And a conch. Both were screeching and…

Hold. On. Just. A. Damn. Minute.

Were those objects taken from the Merpeople? It all just clicked for him in an instant as he stood there gaping. Aside from this development, they also had to deal with yet another person who decided to climb into the Fountain. Oh, joy.

“It’s definitely that conch and trident,’’ Brody told Sookie, having recovered himself slightly and raising his voice to be heard. “It might be those objects that made some of the employees act strangely? And what the Merpeople accused us of stealing?”

If only Flamsteed and Sophie were the only people that he, Brody and Bumble had to worry about at the moment. No…that would have been too easy, what with them one to one currently. Because then another man rushed from across the atrium and into the fountain. With a conch and trident. Two things very much attached to the ocean and waters and…the merfolk. That raised Simon’s hackles immediately and the security man decided his friend Sophie was currently NOT the one he had to be concerned with. She he was going to leave in Brody’s capable hands.

And Flamsteed in his fellow department head’s own.

The woman coming to join the growing crowd in this portion of the atrium and seemingly not affected by the strange affects the others are. Score one for the handlers. Now back to the other mysteries employee. Brody obviously catching onto the same line of thought as he when he mentioned the conch and trident as the troublemakers. “I would definitely say so,” he agreed, moving closer to Indigo as he decided his next move.

“Incarcerous!” he cast, aiming at the man, the ropes coming from his wand in the intent to both take change of the man and pull him and the seemingly curious objects within his grasp from the fountain. Without touching the items himself.

Indigo was certainly in no shape to defend against any spells. He wasn't even sure where his wand was. He had used it to cast Aguamenti on himself, but where had he put it after that? Had he stowed it back in his pocket? Had he left it in the Chamber of Codes when he picked up the trident? It hadn't been important. All he'd been thinking about was getting to the water. He wasn't really paying attention to the people around him either. They weren't important. The water was important. And it was right there, he was so close.

Indigo was on the edge of the fountain when the ropes from the other man's spell bound him. They bound his arms to his side and his legs together. As a consequence, though, he toppled off balance and fell face first directly into the fountain with a splash. That was fine with him; it was precisely where he wanted to be.
