IT was gone.

Her wand.

Kensi didn't flinch...or anything...she just placed her hand on the table slowly, mechanically, and began to mouth words that weren't really words. Her eyes were a bit bloodshot, actually..and her cheeks...were so pale. There was no natural tint at all. It was all...pale...and clammy.

But she didn't really notice...

Kensi didn't flinch as the man approached..and snapped in front of her face. In fact, her hand just reached up in an attempt to grab them, and she bared her teeth. But just for a second. She mumbled incoherently some more, and her eyes were still unwavering..no blinking. Unfocused. Just staring.

Then, the redhead leaned forward, like she was fainting, and her head hit the table. She was asleep! Or seemed to be, until she suddenly snapped upward, and her eyes widened...Wha-what?! She saw Bossman and looked terrified...Was she in trouble?! had she done something?! Had she fazed out?!

"I'm..confu-" then she spotted her WAND! in the woman's hands! HEr eyes narrowed and she quickly snatched it back! "Hey! How did you get that?!" she cried, looking thoroughly ticked off, now. She glareglareGLARRRED at her!

"I thought those things were only in the Southern part of America," he mused. Nom nom nom nom. Maybe he should have some beef with his gravy. "Does this mean I should be taking samples of her drool and examining it in the lab?"

He nodded his head towards Wes as he walked over towards the two women and stabbed his fork into some beef and stuffed it in his mouth. Should he follow? Probably.

Sighing slightly, Aron left his plate on the table and walked over to where Wes was and began to rummage through his jacket for a small bag, charmed naturally, that contained most of his forensics equipment.

So...drool sample?

"I noticed her walking in and then falling down. I first thought she was having a seizure because she was drooling a lot." Melissa still couldn't believe what had just happened. She looked at the wand that she was holding in her hand.

"Then she stood up, sat down at the table, and took out her wand. I didn't know what she was intending to do, so I disarmed her."

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry. I didn't know what you were going to do with it." Melissa apologized to the woman, letting the woman have her wand back. She took a step back, so that Mr. Ferguson was standing in between her and the woman.

She was bit shocked when he suddenly turned to stare at her. She dropped her fork on the plate. "I.was.just-" she said, slowly, a word at a time, "-joking" She hadn't expected him to react that way. "But you can see people behaving rather.." she searched for the word, "..rather odd, lately" She pointed at the drooling man and now, another women.

Then she heard the disarming spell. Melissa? Wes made his way through, Julia looked at Rafa. Don't think he'll be moving from there, maybe if it were from his department? "Excuse me, please, I'll be back" she said and followed Wes. She heard Wes speak. How long has she been doing this??

"What are you thinking, Wes?" she asked him, her voice low.

And she saw another at the scene. Ah, the man who had a light chat with Elinor. She saw him taking a small container. Aw, good job. Maybe she should assist. "Aron, isn't it? Do you mind my helping?" she asked, well some do at times.

"Melissa" she called her co-worker, possibly a friend. She took her hand. The woman looked a bit shocked. Well who wouldn't if the person next was..weird. "You're.. okay right? Did she scare you" She cast a look at the other woman. She did look bad.

That she was distracted ~~by the fact that he'd actually used her first name, they were actually having a conversation longer than 'hi', his face~~? She was afraid that he'd blow her off and think she was crazy?

Anyway, now that she had had the time to actually take in the whole scene she noticed how pale and out of it Kensi looked. Almost like those zombies she had mentioned. Was Kensi turning into one of them? If so, what could they do about it? Was there a cure? But then she snapped out of it and seemed angry about her wand being snatched. Uh oh.

"I think you're confusing zombies with vampires. Zombies can happen anywhere," Roxanne corrected Aron with a smile. Or at least, that's she had heard.

And now there was talk of drool samples. Ugh. She wanted no part of that. But, how else could she be of use? This didn't seem to be a criminal investigation, nor was anyone trial here so.... But she still wanted to be of some help.

Kensi wasn't reacting. She really, really wasn't reacting. This was worrying, and Wes was no Healer. Hell, he hadn't even been able to fix the bump on Izzy's head when the Cult had been attacking the Ministry. The department head wore a somewhat helpless expression as he glanced from Kensi to Melissa and back.

Then the 'zombie' spoke! And appeared to be fine, all of a sudden. What the...?

"Miss Whitworth," he said quietly with relief, putting a hand on her shoulder as if to see if she was real. "Are you... okay? You were just SEIZING on the floor a second ago... Melissa here was only behaving the way she'd been trained too in a crisis. No one knew what was going on with you." Of course, all his MLE people were well trained, and that explained why they were suddenly forming a squad around the scene. Containing it, as it were.

He nodded to Aron, almost cracking a grin at the way the man was so ~~enthusiastic and~~ prepared to collect drool. "Yeah, we're going to need a sample. Better figure out what's wrong with her before she dies on our hands." Whups, had he said that out loud? Well, maybe it would WAKE THE ZOMBIE UP.

Wes looked to Julia, and then Roxanne, who had appeared out of the blue. Merlin, these younger ones were good at sneaking around. "So she's not the only... drooler in the Ministry. I don't know what to think, other than to wonder if this is some kind of contagious virus." His eyes flicked to Aron. "Think you could figure that out, mate?"

As for Melissa... Wes offered her a rare smile and slid back into his seat, resting his hand by his fork again. "You did what you thought, Ms. Potter, and were very brave about it, too. Thanks. I'm sure Whitworth will be thanking you once she collects herself." Yes that was a hint toward the angry redhead.

Picking the plate up, Maine made her way towards the buffet tables. She'd only gone halfway when she noticed her fiance. Smiling, she moved quietly behind him and tapped his shoulder.

"Hi," she said softly, adjusting her scarf a little to cover her shoulders better. It was cold in here. Didn't these people know about heating charms? They definitely needed those. But Maine wasn't complaining. She was used to this temperature.

Leo turned to his left to look for Maine again, when he felt her behind him just before she tapped him on the shoulder. Instantly he felt happy. Legitimately happy to be at this stupid party. A grin spread across his face."Hi, beautiful."

He looked at his cousin. "Manolo, this is my fiance, Maine LeBlanc. Maine, this is my cousin, Manolo. He just got a job at the Ministry." Charmayne, legally. But Leo knew she preffered Maine. She looked cold. Was she cold? He shrugged out of his suit jacket and offered it to her. He was a little warm in it anyway.

Manolo smiled. He was a sucker for lovey dovey stuff underneath his seriousness. Seeing Leo with Maine seemed to warm his heart. He was happy that his cousin had found his other half. Manolo held out his hand, "Pleasure to meet you, Maine. We've heard much about you. It's an honor to finally meet."

Didn't he realize that he was almost died because of choking this food and now his back was slapped by a pyscho woman suddenly? Dimitri still didn't know what's her purpose to slap his back. What's wrong with her? And what's his fault? He didn't remember if he ever met this woman before.

It'll help, I promise!

*blink*

But in fact, she didn't make any help because now he didn't stop coughing!

"Stop it, Maam. STOP IT!" he spoke while he still slightly cough. "I just need a glass of water so it could rinse.." Cough. "My throat." Then he grabbed a cup and casted a water conjuring spell. "Aguamenti!"

But there's no water come from his wand.

Heh? How could this happened? Did his wand broken or something?

Okay, he tried once again. "Aguamenti!" But still, nothing happened. He didn't know what's wrong with his wand. Then quickly he walked to the beverage counter and grabbed a glass of orange juice.

Gulp gulp..

His choking problem was clear now. But then he noticed that Derek looked.. wondered about him. Are you feeling alright, Dimitri? "Well, I am perfectly fine." Why he asked him about that? Because Dimitri didn't realize that his appearance changed slightly; his face turned pale, the bloodshot eyes and the sharpened canine teeth.

He heard that girl said that he have a seizure? Huh, what seizure? He was completely healthy!

Derek tried his best not to laugh in front of the girl-violently-slapping-Dimitri's-back scenario. She looked really eager to 'help' him and Dimitri looked kind of freaked. Don't be such a girl. Pffffft. That was funny.

The 24 year-old frowned when the other guy wasn't able to perform a simple spell like Aguamenti. He immediately thought that it could have something to do with that... infestation - or whatever that was. The odd girl actually told Derek he wasn't helping much and for him to 'do something' because Dimitri was 'having a seizure'. Psh. This girl knew nothing about seizures, did she? "He's not having a seizure." He assured her sharply, without taking his eyes off Dimitri. Wait, what had she called him??

...

Never mind.

"Dimitri, how long have you been feeling weird?" Derek asked right away, even though the man said he was perfectly fine. "Have you been vomiting and drooling lately? Where did you go on vacation?" Derek started inquiring like he had done to the people from his Department before the holidays. He needed answers.

The green-eyed man remembered the day when they first met. Dimitri was eating everything he could from the Ministry's food court. Maybe... well, probably Dimitri had eaten there again after that one day. AND he had the exact same thing Kensington and Demetrius had... and that other Head of Department also... and some other people. Hm...

Derek needed to find the others to see if they were ~~becoming vampires~~ having those new symptoms too.

When the skinny guy began to shout and pleaded for her to stop, Kat raised her palms in defence, finally convinced to forgo the slapping. "Aren't you a gentleman?" She fixed her icy blue stare on him, watching him make a fool out of himself. She had only wanted to be a good samaritan and help out a fellow ministry worker. Not any more. He could choke on his own vomit and she wouldn't bat an eye.

As for the other guy, Katherine decided she didn't like him much. The brunette found it frustrating when people ignored her or doubted her knowledge about seizures. "It doesn't seem like he's having the time of his life, either." She just gave him a cold look, the pain from the heels wearing her patience thin.

Katherine wanted to flee, leave these two men to their misery, but something about the skinny guy's appearance made her hang around longer. That and the odd questions. Drooling? Vomiting? She exchanged a glance between the two, eyebrows knotted in confusion. "For your information, you seem ill, Skinny. I suggest you go easy on the food." Katherine laid a hand on his shoulder sympathetically, noticing his reddened eyes.

Aron was more of a plant guy - duh - but he had read a thing or two about dark creatures in his day ~~mostly because he needed the information while doing some plant research~~ so he was a bit surprised by Roxanne's comment. Couldn't vampires happen anywhere? "You sure you aren't think of Inferi?" he asked in return. Those could happen anywhere as long as you reanimated a dead body.

BOUNCING BLUEBERRIES! This woman wasn't dead already, was she?!

"Unless there is a new version of The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection out that I haven't read." Cause that book had told him that zombies were only in the Southern part of America.

And was he really standing here arguing over the locations of zombies when there was drool to be collected? So uncool of him.

Pulling out a few more vials and other things from his bag, Aron looked up when someone offered him their assistance. "Yes, actually," he said as she unceremoniously shoved a few things in the woman's direction. "Hold these."

In the meantime he would hold on to his long cotton swabs and get to collecting the drool.

Oh, wait, no. The woman wasn't dead because she was talking and looking more angry than a Devil's Snare. Not that that really phased Aron at the moment - he had seen scarier looking women. Some even rivaled flesh eating plants in their rage. Shiver.

Long instrument in hand, Aron approached the not-dead-so-therefore-not-an-inferi woman and eyed some of the drool still trickling down her chin. "Miss Whitworth, I'm going to need to collect a sample of that..." he said, nodding towards Wes for a moment before poking the woman GENTLY with the cotton end and scooping up some of the drool. Into a vial that went ~~along with several other swabs and other vials~~. Just ONE sample wasn't enough to do proper forensics on anyway.

Eyes back on Wes again, and the others who had shown up, Aron eyed his samples before putting them in his bag. "How many other people have been infected? Who? I should probably take samples of saliva from them as well...maybe even some blood if it is a virus." He was suddenly reminded of all those Muggle video games he had played - the ones with the zombie apocalypse and had way too many sequels made than was really necessary. Muggles liked to do that - drag things out.

But he was getting distracted.

"Will certainly try," he confirmed as he readied more cotton swabs. Maybe he should collect drool from those not effected as well. You know, to compare. Did Mr. Head Cabbage want to offer up some drool?

Ellis walked towards the buffet area as she was starting to get quite hungry and peckish so she decided to nosey around and see what kind of food and drink was on offer. She looked over and saw the fancy seating so grabbed a bunch of foods put on a plate and a drink and sat down at the ministers office table, at her assigned seat with her name stated on the tag.

FireboltAvis88 · 10-23-2012, 06:14 PM

SPOILER!!: Julia

Melissa turned to the woman talking to her. It was Julia, if she remembered correctly. She first shook her head to clear it before realizing that the action could be a sign that she wasn't okay, so she quickly nodded.

"Oh...hi...Julia. Yes I'm fine. No she didn't scare me. I was just worried that had made a mistake disarming her. That maybe she in fact, was trying to stop somone else." Melissa didn't want to think about the last time when she second guessed herself when it came to disarming someone, and in that situation, things didn't turn out as well as it did here.

"Thanks for asking though. I do hope that she's okay." Melissa said looking at the red-haired woman.

SPOILER!!: Boss Man Ferguson

Melissa blinked in surprise when her Department Head thanked her. She hadn't messed up...this time. "Thank you for saying that Mr. Ferguson. I just hope that Ms. Whitworth feels better soon." She looked around for Alex.

"I don't think that she's the only isolated case, Sir. I recall seeing another man, who looked to have the same symptoms as her." Melissa informed him.

TSnitch · 10-23-2012, 09:25 PM

Dacs headed over to the buffet and seating area. Not that she needed to eat. She just had to get away from annoying half sister. Looking around, everyone seemed to be having an ok time. She was even seeing a few Level 2 and of course more new faces. Dacs would talk to whoever but her real intro came in the office.

It's not really her style to just walk around and talk. She merely observed. She walked by the buffet table and headed to most obvious department table in the room, MLE. Shaking her head, she took her seat where she saw her name tag neatly placed.

There was a new man...approaching..Kensi glared at him a bit..."You want my drool?! Someone already has that!" she snapped, her eyes reflecting the irritation she felt...she wanted to go home. And not to her apartment, HOME home, to Montana. She wanted her mammaaaa! And these people were NOT helping...NOT NOT NOT. "I like my drool." She grumbled, not really...willing...to give him any..just because she was in an AWFUL mood. HMPH.

She turned to Melissa and her expression softened a bit..."Right. No, it's fine..it's just..imagine waking up and seeing someone hold your wand...it's scary and weird," she explained, pocketing said wand for now. Hmph. Melissa was nice....and not being ANNOYING. *eyes drool man*

She then shot a glare at Bossman...then retracted that look...because..he was a bit scary...even she couldn't deny that..."Well of course I'm NOT okay...I made an appointment with you? Remember?" honestly, he had to. It wasn't until AFTER the holidays though..she couldn't remember if it was for tomorrow...or next week...hopefully tomorrow...but...was that necessary since she was speaking with him now? Eghhh! "It was..concerning..this." THis, as in, her stupid ILLNESS.

DIES?!?

Kensi's mouth dropped..."No! I'm too pretty to die! You don't-I won't-WILL I?!?" she cried, hysterical...she couldn't die! She never even got the chance to talk to her parents! PLUS, she had an awesome job! How?!? She looked between the two men...Merlin...she was freaking out now!

And some RANDOM woman....why was she here?! Why were people crowding around her?!? WHY?!?! She wanted to flee, her flight instincts kicking in...could she leave?! She didn't much fancy being the eye of the attention right now...for this...maybe some other time, a PRETTIER time?!

RIFUB13IUFBB

OOOYY!

Kensi slapped his hand away..but he had already gotten his sample...she GLLAAAARED at him ..."I never said you could do that! UGH!" she cried, stomping her foot...frustrated with everyone..EVERYONE. "You can't do that without MY permission!"

Maybe she needed a calming potion. Because she was going insane. INSANE.

The department head wore a somewhat helpless expression as he glanced from Kensi to Melissa and back.

Then the 'zombie' spoke! And appeared to be fine, all of a sudden. What the...?

"Miss Whitworth," he said quietly with relief, putting a hand on her shoulder as if to see if she was real. "Are you... okay? You were just SEIZING on the floor a second ago... Melissa here was only behaving the way she'd been trained too in a crisis. No one knew what was going on with you." Of course, all his MLE people were well trained, and that explained why they were suddenly forming a squad around the scene. Containing it, as it were.

He nodded to Aron, almost cracking a grin at the way the man was so ~~enthusiastic and~~ prepared to collect drool. "Yeah, we're going to need a sample. Better figure out what's wrong with her before she dies on our hands." Whups, had he said that out loud? Well, maybe it would WAKE THE ZOMBIE UP.

Wes looked to Julia, and then Roxanne, who had appeared out of the blue. Merlin, these younger ones were good at sneaking around. "So she's not the only... drooler in the Ministry. I don't know what to think, other than to wonder if this is some kind of contagious virus." His eyes flicked to Aron. "Think you could figure that out, mate?"

As for Melissa... Wes offered her a rare smile and slid back into his seat, resting his hand by his fork again. "You did what you thought, Ms. Potter, and were very brave about it, too. Thanks. I'm sure Whitworth will be thanking you once she collects herself." Yes that was a hint toward the angry redhead.

BOUNCING BLUEBERRIES! This woman wasn't dead already, was she?!

"Unless there is a new version of The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection out that I haven't read." Cause that book had told him that zombies were only in the Southern part of America.

And was he really standing here arguing over the locations of zombies when there was drool to be collected? So uncool of him.

Pulling out a few more vials and other things from his bag, Aron looked up when someone offered him their assistance. "Yes, actually," he said as she unceremoniously shoved a few things in the woman's direction. "Hold these."

In the meantime he would hold on to his long cotton swabs and get to collecting the drool.

Oh, wait, no. The woman wasn't dead because she was talking and looking more angry than a Devil's Snare. Not that that really phased Aron at the moment - he had seen scarier looking women. Some even rivaled flesh eating plants in their rage. Shiver.

Long instrument in hand, Aron approached the not-dead-so-therefore-not-an-inferi woman and eyed some of the drool still trickling down her chin. "Miss Whitworth, I'm going to need to collect a sample of that..." he said, nodding towards Wes for a moment before poking the woman GENTLY with the cotton end and scooping up some of the drool. Into a vial that went ~~along with several other swabs and other vials~~. Just ONE sample wasn't enough to do proper forensics on anyway.

Eyes back on Wes again, and the others who had shown up, Aron eyed his samples before putting them in his bag. "How many other people have been infected? Who? I should probably take samples of saliva from them as well...maybe even some blood if it is a virus." He was suddenly reminded of all those Muggle video games he had played - the ones with the zombie apocalypse and had way too many sequels made than was really necessary. Muggles liked to do that - drag things out.

But he was getting distracted.

"Will certainly try," he confirmed as he readied more cotton swabs. Maybe he should collect drool from those not effected as well. You know, to compare. Did Mr. Head Cabbage want to offer up some drool?

She turned to Melissa and her expression softened a bit..."Right. No, it's fine..it's just..imagine waking up and seeing someone hold your wand...it's scary and weird," she explained, pocketing said wand for now. Hmph. Melissa was nice....and not being ANNOYING. *eyes drool man*

She then shot a glare at Bossman...then retracted that look...because..he was a bit scary...even she couldn't deny that..."Well of course I'm NOT okay...I made an appointment with you?

DIES?!?

Kensi's mouth dropped..."No! I'm too pretty to die! You don't-I won't-WILL I?!?" she cried, hysterical...she couldn't die! She never even got the chance to talk to her parents! PLUS, she had an awesome job! How?!? She looked between the two men...Merlin...she was freaking out now!

And some RANDOM woman....why was she here?! Why were people crowding around her?!? WHY?!?! She wanted to flee, her flight instincts kicking in...could she leave?! She didn't much fancy being the eye of the attention right now...for this...maybe some other time, a PRETTIER time?!

Contagious virus? So she wasn't the only who had thought of that then. But if that's what it was, then she had been around it twice now. Maybe she'd better be making herself an appointment with a Healer just to be sure she wasn't infected....?

Inferi? She had actually forgotten that those had even existed until just now. She wasn't about to say that out loud though. Nope, instead she offered a thoughtful look, accompanied by "Maybe so. Hmm." And then they were back on the other ~~zombies~~ infected people. "There were two people when I saw them in the food court. I don't know who they were, though." Seeing as they hadn't been MLEers or anything. And did Aron have to mention blood? Especially since they were so near food? It was almost enough to put the kibosh on her appetite. Almost.

Zombie girl seemed to be getting even angrier by the minute. Which Roxanne took as a sign to back off. Who knew if the girl would start to attack next, and she didn't want to be infected for reals. Especially not now that everything was going well for her. "Hope you feel better soon," she told the girl before walking off to find her own seat at the table. Merlin, how could she ever have thought the Ministry could be boring?!

"I..... don't know, Aron, this is the first I've heard of it all," Wes admitted, not liking how little control he had over this situation. He was used to being able to solve most anything with a wave of a wand or a tackling of a bad guy. Now? Not so much.

"I don't think that she's the only isolated case, Sir. I recall seeing another man, who looked to have the same symptoms as her." Melissa informed him.

"I hope she does too," he had to agree with Melissa, sighing some as he dug his fork into his now-cold food. He raised his brows as he chewed around a cold chunk of beef and swallowed awkwardly. "Who? How many? Where?"

They needed to get a grip on the situation, stat. Forget investigating de Talone; this internal investigation took precedence.

It's not really her style to just walk around and talk. She merely observed. She walked by the buffet table and headed to most obvious department table in the room, MLE. Shaking her head, she took her seat where she saw her name tag neatly placed.

"Dacs," Wes nodded to one of his division heads, who was conveniently seated near him. He was about to ask her about her break when... well, there went the zombie again. Or whatever she was.

SPOILER!!: omg Kensi xD

He held his glare-stare until she stopped the stomping and crying, his eyes only briefly flicking to Aron and back to Kensi. "Aron here's just doing his job, and trying to help you in the process. So if I were you, I'd shut up and comply, or we can have you booked and processed for obstruction of justice before we ship you off to the mental health experts. Got it?"

Now, for their 'appointment.' "Yes yes, I remember," Wes waved a hand. "What about it? I'm trying to solve it now, aren't I?" In the meantime, yes, he had to be a jerk and insist that she continue showing up to work. "Didn't you have your ah, problem here, looked at over the break?" That's what a SMART PERSON and a RESPONSIBLE ADULT would have done...

Her not remembering things though, and allegedly 'waking up' to see Melissa's wand in her hand... that was troubling. "Julia, can you jot these symptoms down?" He nodded to the young woman. "Excessive drool, random states of fugue, ah, staring.... what else, Whitworth?"

Wait a second, wait a second... ANOTHER one of Wes' employees had noticed the zombie strangeness and NO ONE had told him?

His hit wizard side was coming out strong, now that he had real WORK to do, other than 'mingling.'

Dacs turned when she heard Wes. Nodding in his direction, she was about to greet him when he snapped another woman. Then the topic of zombie came came up.

"I've had my own encounter in the food court. There are more than you know here. That day, was weird, they seem cognisant of what they were doing;almost drugged like behaviour. There were two of them. One from Mysteries and another from I think the Minister's Office. The behaviour is a bit inconsistent but they are there." she spoke up. She was going to talk to her boss about it but they got sidelined."I did a bit of investigating, to find out the names of the individuals. Simon was there too. He was having trouble with one and that's when I stepped in. Then another showed up. I think we're at the tip of the ice berg of something very scary."

Dacs remembered the incident clearly and now it looked like things were about to turn out like a bad horror movie.

She looked cold. Was she cold? He shrugged out of his suit jacket and offered it to her. He was a little warm in it anyway.

Maine smiled as Leo turned around and tucked a stray strand of hair back behind her ear. She wasn't really a fan of big functions like this, but if Leo was there it got just a little bit more bearable. Maybe she wouldn't be bored halfway insane with meaningless conversations. "You're not looking too bad yourself," she said, smiling.

She was being introduced? Smiling, she turned to face the man and was a little shocked by his resemblance to Leo. Maybe it was a family thing. Family resemblances and such. "The pleasure's all mine," she smiled, taking the man's hand. "Congratulations. I work in Magical Accidents and Catastropes." Ironic, really. Since Maine was a Magical Catastrophe herself.

Turning to Leo, she smiled and shook her head. She didn't need the coat, no. Inclining her head subtly towards the minister, she tried to wordlessly send him the message that this was a formal event. And he had to keep his coat on.

Manolo smiled, "Sounds like fun. How's working at the Ministry? Is it bearable?" He asked them both. He was hesitant about working at the Ministry at first. Especially since Cara and the one she left him for were here. Manolo was even afraid to look around due to the fear of locking eyes with her. Those eyes. He'd recognize them anywhere. But, he needed the money. His mother and Awar needed him.

Text Cut: angry!Wes & Dacs

Or maybe she wasn't going to find her seat after all. Hearing Wes' commanding ~~and scary~~ tone when she was about halfway down the table, Roxanne quickly turned around and hurried back over. The other departments didn't really need to hear this. Anyway, when she had gotten to a point where she wouldn't have to yell across the table nor would they be overheard, by the other tables at least, she opened her mouth to tell her story. Until she realized that Dacs was telling the same story, that was. "Um, yeah. What she said. Though I didn't notice that she and Simon were there, nor did I know what department the ~~zombies~~ infected people were in or what they were eating. Actually, I didn't really notice them until I was about to leave. One of them was walking with her arms out in front of her moaning something about 'brains'." She intetionally left Konrad's (who had been there with her) name out of the whole thing. Really, she didn't want him dragged into the whole thing, and between she and Dacs, Wes now had pretty much the whole story anyway.

The 24 year-old frowned when the other guy wasn't able to perform a simple spell like Aguamenti. He immediately thought that it could have something to do with that... infestation - or whatever that was. The odd girl actually told Derek he wasn't helping much and for him to 'do something' because Dimitri was 'having a seizure'. Psh. This girl knew nothing about seizures, did she? "He's not having a seizure." He assured her sharply, without taking his eyes off Dimitri. Wait, what had she called him??

...

Never mind.

"Dimitri, how long have you been feeling weird?" Derek asked right away, even though the man said he was perfectly fine. "Have you been vomiting and drooling lately? Where did you go on vacation?" Derek started inquiring like he had done to the people from his Department before the holidays. He needed answers.

The green-eyed man remembered the day when they first met. Dimitri was eating everything he could from the Ministry's food court. Maybe... well, probably Dimitri had eaten there again after that one day. AND he had the exact same thing Kensington and Demetrius had... and that other Head of Department also... and some other people. Hm...

Derek needed to find the others to see if they were ~~becoming vampires~~ having those new symptoms too.

He could choke on his own vomit and she wouldn't bat an eye.

As for the other guy, Katherine decided she didn't like him much. The brunette found it frustrating when people ignored her or doubted her knowledge about seizures. "It doesn't seem like he's having the time of his life, either." She just gave him a cold look, the pain from the heels wearing her patience thin.

Katherine wanted to flee, leave these two men to their misery, but something about the skinny guy's appearance made her hang around longer. That and the odd questions. Drooling? Vomiting? She exchanged a glance between the two, eyebrows knotted in confusion. "For your information, you seem ill, Skinny. I suggest you go easy on the food." Katherine laid a hand on his shoulder sympathetically, noticing his reddened eyes.

FOR MERLIN'S BALD HEAD SAKE! HE WAS NOT SICK! DIMITRI WAS PERFECTLY HEALTHY!

Well, a few months ago he suffered a weird symptomps like a food poisoning. Including the hypersalivation (or excessive drooling in simple term), vomiting and unfocused-glazed look. Even his boss, Gavin also noticed the weird things that happened to him. But he felt a bit better when he had a winter break from Ministry. But wait..

Does it mean that the infection get worse than before?

OH NO!

His ~~brown~~ bloodshot eyes stared at Derek. Did he know about his infection? Drooling? Vomiting? YES! HE DID SUFFER IT BEFORE! "How do you know about that?" he asked. So, Dimitri wasn't the only one who suffered it? ~~Thank, Merlin!~~

He turned to the woman. Actually she was kind, helping him from his choking incident (but HOW she helped just make him getting worse now

) And what did she just called him? SKINNY? Dimitri never approved that! Yeah, he knew that he was skinny.. Too skinny maybe, but he didn't it.

GLARE

"Thanks." said him as the unknown woman put her hand on his shoulder and suggested him to take easy with food. Did he look so ill? Suddenly he started to drool again.. More than usual. Uh oh, the infection is back again. Now he felt so worse than before. Ugh..

Accidentally he threw up on the woman's shoes.ASDFGHJKJHGFTRDESWDFGHJ!!!

Freaking out was definitely not the right word to be using now, seeing that was what Ms. Whitworth was actually starting to do.

She definitely didn't envy Aron who was trying to take drool samples from her but hoped that she would be feeling better soon. Melissa then turned her attention back to Mr. Ferguson when he asked her where she had seen the other person who looked to be in the same ~~condition~~ situation as Ms. Whitworth.

"I saw him walk in earlier. He was stumbling around before heading for the Games and Sports table. There he is. The gentleman with the jet black hair." Melissa pointed the man out to her Department Head. He was still sitting at the table.

"I do hope that he doesn't have what Ms. Whitworth has." Melissa said worriedly.

Sheesh. Women sometimes. He HAD told her that he needed to take a sample. Was this an effect of the zombie state too? Being easily agitated and all that? Maybe Honking Daffodil woman had it too? She was always easily agitated by things.

Good thing she liked her own drool, because it was about to be scrutinized under a microscope in the lab for a while. Chances were she would be the only one who would like her drool by the end of the investigation.

Thankfully Mr. Head Cabbage came in and set the woman straight. Yep, just doing his job here. Not like this was one of his hobbies or anything. Nope. He just collected sap samples from various trees. WAY more masculine and cool.

Pocketing all of his vials and tools back in his bag and then looked back at Roxanne. "In the food court?" he asked, arching an eyebrow. She wasn't the first person to mention that place in conjunction with drooling now that he thought about it. He hadn't been there himself - he preferred to eat outside the Ministry when given the chance. And then Dacs mentioned the food court as well. "How long ago was all this?" Too long and he wouldn't be able to collect samples from there. "Was it after the cafeteria opened?"

And now Aron was even more glad that he didn't eat at the Ministry.

The fact that Wes hadn't been told about this was sort of...alarming. Especially with so many people in their department now coming forward and mentioning it. If it had all started with the opening of the cafeteria...that had been, what, half a year ago? Plenty of time for people to report things...

"I'm going to need the names of the other droolers..."

Maybe he needed to get out of the lab more often when he was at work.

Aron's gaze followed Melissa's finger over towards the Games and Sports seating area and then glanced back at Wes. "Should I..." he trailed off as he waved an unused cotton swab in the man's direction.

Maine was right. His coat had to stay on. However much he hated it. Well, they only had a couple more hours, and they could get out of here and do something fun. He wondered if Maine had ever been bowling. Not with him at least, but he had always found it fun when he was a kid. Fun and stress relieving was just what the two of them needed right now, what with all of the stress of planning thier wedding which was drawing closer every day.

He pulled the coat back on. Bearable? "It's fabulous." Leo replied. "Most of the time." It really was. They gave him so much creative liscence to invent new broom features, and he had a lot of fun with it. It could be frustrating, sure, but it was fun.

"I hope she does too," he had to agree with Melissa, sighing some as he dug his fork into his now-cold food. He raised his brows as he chewed around a cold chunk of beef and swallowed awkwardly. "Who? How many? Where?"

They needed to get a grip on the situation, stat. Forget investigating de Talone; this internal investigation took precedence.

"Dacs," Wes nodded to one of his division heads, who was conveniently seated near him. He was about to ask her about her break when... well, there went the zombie again. Or whatever she was.

"Whitworth," Wes barked, dropping his fork with a clatter and turning a ferocious glare her way. "Straighten up and calm down, now, or you'll be out of here and in your own private ward in St. Mungo's faster than you can say zombie."

He held his glare-stare until she stopped the stomping and crying, his eyes only briefly flicking to Aron and back to Kensi. "Aron here's just doing his job, and trying to help you in the process. So if I were you, I'd shut up and comply, or we can have you booked and processed for obstruction of justice before we ship you off to the mental health experts. Got it?"

Now, for their 'appointment.' "Yes yes, I remember," Wes waved a hand. "What about it? I'm trying to solve it now, aren't I?" In the meantime, yes, he had to be a jerk and insist that she continue showing up to work. "Didn't you have your ah, problem here, looked at over the break?" That's what a SMART PERSON and a RESPONSIBLE ADULT would have done...

Her not remembering things though, and allegedly 'waking up' to see Melissa's wand in her hand... that was troubling. "Julia, can you jot these symptoms down?" He nodded to the young woman. "Excessive drool, random states of fugue, ah, staring.... what else, Whitworth?"

Wait a second, wait a second... ANOTHER one of Wes' employees had noticed the zombie strangeness and NO ONE had told him? "Roxanne, we're not finished here," he called out to her in a commanding tone. "Tell us more about the guys in the food court. When was this? Were they eating anything strange...?"

His hit wizard side was coming out strong, now that he had real WORK to do, other than 'mingling.'

So blowing up at Bossman would probably be a one way ticket to...fire-ment. Or Askaban, depending on how she handled her anger at him for the moment.

HIUHFIRHGIHGTI4JGJ2P3RH2B

She furrowed her eyebrows and shook silently with everything she wanted to SHOUT at him...UGH. The redhead was NOT used to holding this in...she needed to go home...and PUNCH something...faaaaast. She just growled and balled her fists..."If I was in a private ward at LEAST I wouldn't be near all YOU people..." she grumbled...fuming. Seething.

He was being a completely horrible boss! UGH.

*Flaaaaiiil*

Was he threatening her?!? She just shut her mouth for a second and GLAAARED at the man...Aaron..whatever...his stupid name was ....UGHUGHUGH.

And then..Oh MErlin.."OF COURSE I HAD IT CHECKED OUT DURING THE HOLIDAYS!" she snapped, looking quite ferocious. "My sister is a Healer! She came over here...I had a check-up..THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!" and it didn't help that there was no sign of her symptoms when she had gone...because...well, it only happened every so often. And when she had GONE to the Healer's office....of COURSE none of her symptoms showed themselves...she realized she was yelling..and took a deep breath...and eyed Wes..."I'm sorry...I yelled...don't fire me.." she growled...if he did fire her...well..she would be able to go crawl in a hole and die miserably, drooling her life away...

Any more symptoms?! She nodded, still trying to keep her rage in check. "I...can't do magic...well.." she muttered, her velvety voice gruff...that was the most annoying part of it all...

SPOILER!!: Melissa

She just nodded at Melissa...looking mutinous still.."Oh..I'm Kensington, by the way..please...call me Kensi..." held out her hand..out of habit, but then retracted it...uh...she probably didn't want to shake a Zombie's hand, anyways.

*grumbles*

SPOILER!!: Droolman!

She just glaaaared at him..."ANother man is trying to work on all of this, too. Maybe you should...talk to him..Derek Merriweather, Magical Accidents and--wait..I don't know WHAT department he's in..." Accidents and Catastrophe's ? MEh.

Glare some more...glareglareglare.

"Have fun with my drool..." she growled..ANGRY!Kensi was calming down now..just a bit...and being angry was the only time she was ever not being a zombie...hmm. Maybe she should just be angry all the time.

Right.

He could choke on his own vomit and she wouldn't bat an eye.

As for the other guy, Katherine decided she didn't like him much. The brunette found it frustrating when people ignored her or doubted her knowledge about seizures. "It doesn't seem like he's having the time of his life, either." She just gave him a cold look, the pain from the heels wearing her patience thin.

Katherine wanted to flee, leave these two men to their misery, but something about the skinny guy's appearance made her hang around longer. That and the odd questions. Drooling? Vomiting? She exchanged a glance between the two, eyebrows knotted in confusion. "For your information, you seem ill, Skinny. I suggest you go easy on the food." Katherine laid a hand on his shoulder sympathetically, noticing his reddened eyes.

Well, a few months ago he suffered a weird symptomps like a food poisoning. Including the hypersalivation (or excessive drooling in simple term), vomiting and unfocused-glazed look. Even his boss, Gavin also noticed the weird things that happened to him. But he felt a bit better when he had a winter break from Ministry. But wait..

Does it mean that the infection get worse than before?

OH NO!

His ~~brown~~ bloodshot eyes stared at Derek. Did he know about his infection? Drooling? Vomiting? YES! HE DID SUFFER IT BEFORE! "How do you know about that?" he asked. So, Dimitri wasn't the only one who suffered it? ~~Thank, Merlin!~~

He turned to the woman. Actually she was kind, helping him from his choking incident (but HOW she helped just make him getting worse now

) And what did she just called him? SKINNY? Dimitri never approved that! Yeah, he knew that he was skinny.. Too skinny maybe, but he didn't it.

GLARE

"Thanks." said him as the unknown woman put her hand on his shoulder and suggested him to take easy with food. Did he look so ill? Suddenly he started to drool again.. More than usual. Uh oh, the infection is back again. Now he felt so worse than before. Ugh..

Accidentally he threw up on the woman's shoes.ASDFGHJKJHGFTRDESWDFGHJ!!!

The girl was not helping Derek's mood nor making the situation better. He really felt like telling her to just shut up and leave. But he was polite enough. For now. "It still doesn't mean he's having a seizure." He added impatiently. That other girl back at the Leaky Cauldron had some sort of seizure, but not Dimitri. At least not right now.

So shut it, random girl.

The look on Dimitri's face when Derek asked the question and his answer itself made Derek be sure he ~~was becoming a zombie~~ had the same thing as the others. "Many people from the Ministry were having those symptoms before the holidays." Derek explained, still staring at Dimitri's bloodshot eyes. "Look, you've got to tell me-"

Before Derek could finish his sentence, Dimitri was drooling all over. SAMPLES!!! Pulling out his wand, Derek conjured a pair of rubber gloves and a vial. He quickly put on the gloves, but before he could collect the drool - without asking -, the other guy was already puking on the random girl's shoes!!

PERFECT!!!

Derek leaned down and collected some of the vomit before the woman could freak out and clean it up. When he had enough in the vial, he stood back up and eyed the substance. "Thank you, Dimitri." He said casually, pocketing the vial and cleaning his gloves and the woman's shoes with a flick of his wand. "Do you need anything?" The young man asked, looking at Dimitri. At least he should be nice to his 'friend' after he did him a big favor!

There were two of them. One from Mysteries and another from I think the Minister's Office. The behaviour is a bit inconsistent but they are there." she spoke up. She was going to talk to her boss about it but they got sidelined."I did a bit of investigating, to find out the names of the individuals. Simon was there too. He was having trouble with one and that's when I stepped in. Then another showed up. I think we're at the tip of the ice berg of something very scary."

Dacs remembered the incident clearly and now it looked like things were about to turn out like a bad horror movie.

There are more than you know here... for some reason, that simple sentence uttered by Dacs had the ~~fur~~ hair standing up on the back of Wesley's neck. "Merlin," he muttered, his brow furrowed as he tried to figure this puzzle out. "We've got one on One, one on Two, sounds like one on Nine..." And who knew how many more?

"We're going to need to have a department-wide meeting on this as soon as this event is over," Wes decided, raising his voice a bit so all the MLErs gathered around could hear. "I think you're right, Dacs, I think you're right." As much as he wanted her to be wrong...

Until she realized that Dacs was telling the same story, that was. "Um, yeah. What she said. Though I didn't notice that she and Simon were there, nor did I know what department the ~~zombies~~ infected people were in or what they were eating. Actually, I didn't really notice them until I was about to leave. One of them was walking with her arms out in front of her moaning something about 'brains'." She intetionally left Konrad's (who had been there with her) name out of the whole thing. Really, she didn't want him dragged into the whole thing, and between she and Dacs, Wes now had pretty much the whole story anyway.

"Was she really?" The bit about brains had Wes biting his lip to keep from laughing. "Do you think she was faking? I don't think Kensi here has been moaning about brains...." He smirked as he said that, wondering if the redhead would even pick up on what he'd said.

Wes' eyes quickly darted over to where Melissa was pointing. "Shhh, don't be so obvious," he muttered darkly, lowering her pointing finger. "Someone needs to go ... check him out, perhaps collect some drool if he's doing the same things Whitworth is...."

He nominated Melissa and Aron to do that task. Yep.

He had no idea how long ago this mess had started either, but did not when Aron gestured toward the Games & Sports man. "Go right ahead," he answered softly. "Oh, and while you're at it...."

Wes gestured toward the sound of retching he'd just heard in front of him. "Looks like you've got a fellow drool-collector there." Probably someone from Thea's office, trying to upstage Wes' MLE team. "See what that guy is doing." He probably wasn't as well trained as the Level Two people. *huff*

Right.

"YOU people?" Wes could be just as ANGRY!PERSON!RAWRRRRr as the redhead, if not more so because he was busy, important, ~~and sometimes a werewolf.~~ "We're your COWORKERS, Whitworth, trying to SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM for you."

Obviously the healers who had checked her out hadn't done a very good job, especially if they'd let her go without some observation and/or pills for her craziness. Wes just shook his head at the outburst and calmly picked up his fork and knife again, content to eat his cold dinner while Kensi went on and on.

He did not at the bit about magic, though, and once again glanced to Julia to see if she was writing this down. It was important to their investigation, after all. "Derek Merriweather," Wes interjected, snapping his free hand at Aron. "That's the guy over there collecting vomit samples. Grab him before this thing is over, will ya?"

So he was right, the guy WAS from A&C. Looked like Wes would be teaming up with Althea sooner than he'd have liked....

FireboltAvis88 · 10-25-2012, 05:23 PM

SPOILER!!: Kensi and Bossman

"Hello Kensi. I'm Melissa. It's nice to meet you. I wish that it had been under better circumstances."Melissa smiled apologetically at her and when she saw Kensi offer her hand to shake, Melissa without any hesitation, stuck out her hand to shake her's but before she could, Kensi had pulled her hand back.

But before she could say anything else to Kensi, Mr. Ferguson had asked her to point out the person she had seen acting in a similar way as Kensi, and then blushed when he reminded that she shouldn't be obvious, when he lowered her pointing finger. 'Good one Melissa. You might as well have jumped up and down and pointed there he is...there he is. Have you forgotten all your training' Melissa berated herself.

"Oh yes. We shouldn't be obvious." Melissa thanked. Then she blinked when she heard what Mr. Ferguson wanted her to do next. "Me? Check him out and collect samples with Aron?" Melissa said hesitantly. But then she thought, 'Why not. It'd be good to do field work again."

"Aron? Would you like to lead the way. You're the expert here." Melissa turned to ask her co-worker who seemed to love to collect the drool samples.

So he was right, the guy WAS from A&C. Looked like Wes would be teaming up with Althea sooner than he'd have liked....

"Yep, food court." Roxanne replied, nodding. "In the seating area. Two weeks ago, right before vacation." Which meant, now that she thought about it, that someone could have gotten in there since the food court opened and tampered with the food. Or maybe the suppliers were at fault. Or the food wasn't being cooked properly. Or any number of other things. This was getting scary......

Well, she was glad Wes seemed so amused by that. The whole thing had been one of the most terrifying things she'd ever seen (and she had seen some scary stuff). So yeah, it was so great that he seemed to be getting such a big kick out of it. Hardy har har. Honestly, if he wasn't her boss, she would be giving him the stink eye right about now. As it was.... "Seemed real. You can ask her," nodding towards Dacs "since she was there too, appearantly." Nope, not just her believing someone who was acting.

And great. Just what she wanted to spend her time doing, figuring out people's names. Ugh. Well, at least she had a lead on where to start. But wait? Hadn't Dacs said that she had looked up the names already? She wasn't about to mention this to the bossman though. No, she just wanted to get away from the table, the angry sick woman and warn any other MLEers that she could find. She looked over to Dacs. "Split up? Might work faster that away...."

"I can be..." He murmured softly as she too departed to the zombie scene. The law enforcement were good like that, not even a few hours back on the job and already they were at work.

Rafael turned his attention to another fellow department head when she approached, though it was fair to say he was more curious about the zombie incident than before.

After picking up a plate, Ella glanced down the buffet at all the food and saw Rafael a few feet away. She gave him a friendly smile as well as a little nod. But then her attention was drawn to Wesley as he went off towards the tables and - oh dear, it was Kensi again. Ella liked the woman, but there was seriously something wrong with her. But she decided this time that she wasn't her problem. Plus, she was starving, so she would let Wesley deal with her. Heh.

Turning her attention back to the food, Ella scooped up some roasted chicken and gravy. And then decided to add some vegetables to balance it out.

"Ella, hope the holidays treated you well." His attention tore away from the group of MLErs long enough to properly greet the other level four head. He shifted to the side, out of the other employees way to allow them access to the food and took a seat, not caring that it probably wasn't his department's seating.
