"Aaahhh...choo!" Vivienne sneezed again into her handkerchief. "Pardon. My allergies." She walked over to her desk and motioned for the man to follow her. There were several memos arranged neatly on her immaculate desk - everything was neatly organized, even the holder that contained her quills and bottles of ink. She picked up the memo in Elijah's handwriting and nodded. "Yes, Mister Wright notified me of your hiring. If you don't mind, what experience do you bring?"

Nico smiled when she sneezed again and followed her.

"I worked in the Russian Ministry as an Auror for 17 Years, now as I moved with my son here to England I'll try another job which isn't so dangerous because my son has just me." he explained.

Lili kept on filing things. She really was in need of something new to drink. The cold was getting to her, she seemed to be getting colder as the time passed even though she was wearing enough to keep her warm. After she got through the first set of drawers she said, "Vivenne, I will be right back, I'm just going to get a refill on my drink before I start on the next bunch of files."

After a while, it seemed to Lillian that the pile on her desk was getting taller and taller, wider and wider. "Why, NO WONDER!", she thought,"I have been too busy daydreaming."
Standing up, she looked around at all of the other members of the department doing their work, appearing to be waiting to go home.
Sitting slowly back down, making sure to tuck her shirt back in, she began to quickly finish filing the mountain of papers on her desk.

"Anyzing involving zee Ministry iz dangerous," Vivienne said with a small smile and then sneezed again. "I have zome reports zat need to be delivered. How well do you know zee building?"

Baby in arms, Blake wandered into 'the Death Chamber'. He'd situated the baby once more so it's back was to his stomach, allowing him to look around them as they went from room to room. As they passed through the halls Blake babbled to the child, almost hoping that it would speak and answer their questions.

After glancing around the room Blake wandered over to one of the women, and smiled politely. Maybe the cute baby would get to her enough that she'd give him the time of day. Blake shifted his hold from one arm to the other before speaking.

"Hello, sorry to be a bother, but something came up in the Time Room. I was just wondering if all of the employee's in this department are present. I'm wondering if any of them have vanished or...changed at all." Blake explained. "Or if any of you recognize this baby." He added. On a whim he pulled the picture from his pocket, moved the baby to his hip, then duplicated the picture a few times. "If you could pass this around, and let anyone from the time room know if someone recognizes the baby that would be a lot of help." Blake babbled. He really did just want to get in and out of there. He had another several dozen room to check, and not much time in which to do it--not to mention he had no idea how to find the wizengamot. Perhaps he could send Kris a memo...

Lili placed the files that she was still sorting behind her back on the cabinet so that the person that had walked into the room wouldn't see them. She wasn't sure who he was, and why in the world did he have a baby in his arms?

She studied the baby in his arms, and shook her head, she didn't reconize it at all. She took one of the pictures he had just duplicated, and then thought about it for a minute and asked, "Is it okay if I take two? That way I can give one to another employee?" She was curious about this situation, but felt that it wasn't her place to ask questions.

Oooh. Another person that looked like mommy. Baby squirmed, trying to reach the lady. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!" Where was mommy? Why was she gone?

"Go ahead and keep that one. I have the real thing. I don't really need--" At that point the baby began to squirm. Note to self. Avoid females. Blake told himself, and sighed. "C'mon buddy. Lets be good. We'll find your mommy in a bit." He whispered to the child, and adjusted his hold to keep the baby from wriggling free. "As I was saying. I don't really need a picture. Pass it around and let anyone from the time room know if someone recognizes him." Blake finished finally.

Lili really didn't know what to do as the baby started crying, all she could do was just stand there helpless.

Lili nodded in response to what he said. "I really hope you work out whatever it is that happened," she told him, smiling sadly at him.

"Thanks. I do too." Blake chuckled and shook his head. "Thanks for your cooperation...and sorry for interrupting." He stated, smiled once more, then headed out of the room. Before reaching the door he glanced down at the baby. "You really are mommy's little boy aren't you?" He asked the child.

Lili watched as the man walked out of the Death Chamber, and then looked at the picture in her hand before walking over to the bulletin board she had cleaned off later to pin the picture up to it. After a second's thought she wrote down what the man had said and placed it above the picture. Makeing her way back to the filing cabinet she set to work on the last drawer.

With only a few files left to go she turned her head quickly, and placed it on her arm to stop the sneeze that she could feel coming. When the feeling had passed she turned to Vivienne and asked, "What else needs to be done?"

Andrina gave a puzzled look as she walked into the Chamber, after passing a man with a baby. "What was that all about?" She asked Lili as she shook her head. Things really were crazy around here. She thought as she suppressed a shiver. "Goodness, I need to wear more layers!" She said smiling as she looked over at Vivienne. " I am sorry I am late, what do you need me to do?" She asked with an apologetic smile.

Lili smiled at her, and said, "I'm not really entirely sure, from what he said something has gone wrong in the time room. They aren't sure who the child belongs to." She paused for a minute then added, "I tacked the picture he gave me up on the bulletin board with a note. I really hope they sort it out, the child really is cute." Just as she was able to say something again, she sneezed, she was unable to hold it in this time.

Andrina raised and eyebrow as Lili relayed information about the Baby. " Something went wrong in the time room?" She asked as she looked at the door where the Child and man had just exited. " Well, I certainly hope they do get it sorted out, otherwise.." Andrina let her sentence trail off as she turned her attention back to Lili. " Bless you." She said softly as she sneezed. "Are you getting sick?" Andrina asked as she shivered a bit more.

Lili sneezed again and then said, "I think it's just a cold, I went to visit my parents last weekend, why they decided to move to the artic is beyond me, it was freezing, and I was so glad when I came home Sunday night." She turned around and closed the filing cabinet then turned back to Andrina. "I wasn't really prepared for my visit, and they had me doing things outdoors the entire weekend, I think being outside all weekend gave me a cold," she said, their research baffled her, but then again, who was she to question it, it's what they'd been doing their entire life.

Andrina blinked a couple of times as Lili spoke, "Your parents live in the Arctic?" Andrina said as she shivered and pulled her robes tighter around her. "Why did they move there?" She asked softly, as she shook her head. " My parents just recently moved to England, I was born in America, thankfully this summer our entire family went back to visit friends, I liked that alot. I miss it there." She said as she looked around. " What can I do?" She asked in a whisper. " I feel somewhat useless at the moment."

"Yes, that's why my sister lives with me when shes not at school," Lili told her, "I really don't know what you can do, you'll have to ask Vivienne."

Lili took out a kleenex to blow her nose and then got back to filing the few remaining folders.

Andrina nodded at Lili and Headed over to find Vivienne, and hopefully find something to do. She shivered more, as she passed close to the veil and she cleared her throat as she felt a tiny little tickle in it."Vivienne? What would you like me to do?" She asked softly.

Garry lingered a the top of the death chamber , his eyes where immediatley fixed on the Diaz ... which seemed to be emitting some kind of low whispering , or was that just the other people in the room ? , he tore his eyes away from the Diaz and glanced around the rest of the room taking in his surroundings, half hoping to conviniently bump into the Department head. He absent mindely fiddled with his Ministry ID which was hung around his neck for a while ...

Lili looked up as someone new entered the room. Was he a new employee she wondered. She placed the remaining file back into the drawer and walked around the outside of the room careful to avoid the coldest parts of the room. As she reached him she said, "Hi, I'm Liliana Hayman," she held out her hand in greeting.

Garry was trying his hardest not to gaze stupidly at the Diaz , he was hoping he would get over it if he was going to be working in here, luckily the woman speaking to him diverted his attention from it , and too her. He smiled slightly as he took her hand" hi , Im Garry O'Connor .... first day " he told her , he imagined that she had already worked out that he was knew anyway. " A little cold in here ... " he said aloud but more to himslef that anything, he didnt usually feel the cold too much, this room was very strange.

Lili tried her best to smile at him when he commented on the cold, but really she couldn't tell him that you got used to it. She still got chills down her spine everytime she walked anywhere close to the center of the room. "It's nice to meet you," she told him before she let her hand drop. She felt like she should give him at bit of advice, "I know that it's always cold in here, but if you stay closer to the edges you get less of it," she finished, right before she turned away quickly to sneeze.

Vivienne sneezed again into her handkerchief and before shouting something in French at the man who entered the chamber with a baby. "I am reporting, zis!" were the only words in English that the employees could understand. She sneezed again and began to furiously write down the incident on a formal report form. Finally she finished. " 'Ere I have reports zat need to be delivered to Meester Wright and zere are people standing around, yes! Acting like its zee 'appy hour."

He had noted the slight rise in temprature around the edges, but he supposed he would get used to it, or more to the point he would have to get used to it. " i suppose i really should go and find the department head " he said glancing around the room , but then his attention was diverted to the French woman spouting off about reports or something , he glanced across to Lili and gave her a what the hell ?? kind of look.
