'Ah, Peru' Jose sighed. 'It is a most beautiful country. I would love to show it to you. We could climb the mountains to Machi Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas...where we could have a picnic, watch the dragons...yes, it is magnifico.'

Jose looked around, 'This tour seems to be more of a stand, yes? There is more to see here, I hope.' He took another sip of his iced tea, looking around hopefully.

Alexa laughed slightly, "I'm sure that would be lovely...but it's complicated" She said with a small smile, "Although it sounds wonderful...like something out of a dream" She sighed and nodded, "Yes. I'm not sure what the arrangements are for this so I'm yet to be suprised.
"The Ministry does have a lot of artefacts to be seen...history included this seems rather mediocre"

Jose gave his usual blinding smile and asked, 'This tour is not touring...would it be possible for us to go for...how do you say...snack? A little food, a little vino...just to get away from standing like your bad statue?

When Cambell realized that no one had anymore questions for her she spoke up again. "Shall we move on the level 7?" She asked, making her way back to the lifts.

Jose responded with grace....walking up to the guide and taking her elbow, he said 'Gracias...most thankful I am for you to finally show me more of your treasure.' Placing his other hand on her shouler, he asked, 'and where are are you taking me next?

Alexa was about to respond, somehow phrasing 'no' into sweeter sentences. She let out a sigh of relief when Cambell said they'd be moving. She raised an eyebrow as the Minister moved from beside her to Cambell. She smirked shaking her head and followed them rather unobligingly into the lifts.

Cambell was surprised by the straightforwardness of the Minister. She smiled and faced him. "We're headed to Level 7 now." She said pointing toward the lifts. "Should we go?" She asked, heading to them slowly."

Rebecca stared at Cambell "Sir, can we please go" Rebecca requested of Bao Li wanting to keep Cambell in her sights

"Yes let's go" Kaylee replied eagerly. Anything to get away from that statue it was rather depressing to look at. She followed the Ministry worker towards the lifts.

He was walking. More like shuffling his feet but those around him wouldn't move faster. "I walking but people blocking my path," Bao Li whined to Rebecca. "This tour booooring. Give me map and I do it myself like at Disneyland." Then he smirked. "Wow! Ceiling changing! Look!" He pointed to the ceiling and while everyone was distracted, dashed off towards the nearest open door - the gift shop.

Rebecca smiled "Sorry Minister" Rebecca replied "The ceiling's changing?" Rebecca stupidly looked up, when she looked down she realised Minister Li had run off "Ack" she sighed, she saw him and ran after him

Cambell saw the cooky Minister run off and she sighed. Why was he such a pain? She wasnt expecting any of the Ministers to be less than normal, more like extrodinary. The Chinese Minister had somehow fell beneath that line.
She didnt know if she should wait, or if she should let them catch up.... Cambell was already at the lifts with the crowd. Ug. She looked to Brian for an answer, not sure if he could give her one either.

Rebecca looked back and panted, catching her breath she ran off again

Cambell got on the lifts with everyone else, hoping the Chinese Minister and his security would join him soon.

ooc-Everyone post in the Level 7 Lifts

Bao Li was grumbling in Chinese when he rejoined the tour group. Every so often, he'd toss something with his left hand and people would start jumping around due to the sparks and sound made by the tiny poppers he was setting off. "So borrrrinnnnggg." But he settled down somewhat in the lift.

Rebecca followed Bao Li into the lift and she sighed at all the commotion

It was a typical MInistry day for Dan. He entered the atrium from the fireplaces and headed towards the Security and maintenance office before heading towards the security desk for his shift. Aside from the commotion regarding the tour of the ministers the Ministry is quiet. He smiled

After a tiring day yesterday, he entered the Ministry in a very odd manner which is by the floo network. He was accustomed to these sort of transportation but he was tired of using the muggle way for now. After he had appeared from the fireplace he smelled a new scent from the Ministry itself.

It was quite early, when he arrived so there was any people yet. Dan decided to check up on some things in his department before heading toward his post at the Security Desk.

In a whoosh of green flame, an ebony-haired witch stepped-or rather fell-out of the fireplace. As she brushed the dirt off her robes, she silently hoped that she would get the hang of the Floo, as she had just gotten her letter this morning. The owl carrying it had almost crashed into the window, but she was so happy when she had seen it's contents that she didn't care. She had been accepted unto the Counterfeit Spells and Objects Team!

Now with a smile on her face, Kira sped off towards the lifts.

"Darlin!" she said looking at the statue in the fountain... "That's just an ahhsore," She said looking around. "Please tell me sugah, there are more pretty statues around?"

The tall red phone box descended into the Atrium. It was Leaf's first time here. He had not thought it as magnificant as this. He awed and marveled at the giant statue in the centre. He read the paque on the rim of the basin, and noticing that all proceeds went directly to St. Mungoes, he placed his Nimbus 2001 broomstick against the goblins arm and looked through the pockets of his pristine suit.

After throwing in five whole Galleons, he picked up his broomstick and went to check in with the aged security wizard, Eric.

"Wand," Eric said simply as he held out a hand in waiting. Aaron handed his wand and Eric peered at it closely.

"Hmm," he wrote down everything he could find out about the wand on a small yellow piece of parchment, and after placing it on a hook, he handed the wand back to it's owner.

"Nature of business at the Ministry?" he asked.

"I'm here to apply to the Magical Law Enforcement offices," a deep voice bellowed from somewhere inside of Aaron.

(When did my voice get so deep for such a pipsqueak?)

"Applications are to the left of the gift shop by Human Resources," Eric sneered back. Arron curtly nodded and headed off to fill in his application.

Once he had finished, and had attached the reccomendation from his Muggle STudies professor, he took a seat on one of the benches and unfolded the days Daily Prophet and began to read as he waited to be called, or perhaps see someone he knew.

"Have you got your liscense, or can you side-along apparate?" he asked as they reached the Atrium. "Boy this will be fun, explaining soul sucking to a Muggle," he chuckled.

Rebecca frowned "Have I got a licence? Of course!!" she raised her eyebrows

"Great, little pub called The Amber Knocking, I'll see you there," he replied, turning on the spot and dissappearing from site.

Rebecca sighed and apparated to the pub

Warren walked through the Atrium with his hands in his jeans pockets fiddling with his wand. He needed a solution...something that would make Alexa NOT leave like he knew she was bound to do simply because...well that was her. Pulling out his hand he rubbed the back of his neck and sat down on a bench with his back against a wall as was his usual habit. The job was getting to him. No...not the job just what they were making him do. He let his gaze pass over the wizards who were moving about in the atrium and through the security check-point. So many weak spots here and they're worried about our training. A security guard nearly asleep at his post, random people walking about...the place was just an incident waiting to happen. How easy it would be for someone. We think we're infallible and that's where we are flawed. He sat back, leaning his head against the wall as he watched the people move about.
