Security Check Point
Just past the Golden Gates and before the official entrance to the Employee Orientation, there is a wide, heavy desk, an alarming-looking machine, and (of course) a queue. Hop in line with everyone else, because this is where you sign in to show that you attended employee orientation. After you step up to the clipboard and sign in with your name and department, feel free to pick up a nametag. You can also turn in your wand here to have it weighed, the wizarding equivalent of going through a metal detector.
The wand-weighting machine itself is large, bulky, and made of brass, the very same one from the regular Security Checkpoint in the Ministry Atrium. There are tubes and dials, meters and whistles, and upon presenting your wand to the wand-weigher, it will be checked by/passed through this machine and registered to you. The Ministry of Magic (and this Orientation, of course) is charmed so that if a wand is fired, some information can be gathered about who might have been responsible. It isn't an exact art but it's better than nothing.
On the bright side, if you lose your wand during orientation or if someone else takes it, the wand-weigher can find out. Today's wand weigher is none other than the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement himself, Wesley Ferguson. If you're new to the MLE though, you might just find yourself taking his spot. Training and all that.
Welcome to Orientation!

Melissa walked up to the Security Checkpoint. She liked the idea of having an Employee Orientation. 'Merlin knows, I barely know anybody in my office, let alone the MLE Department and the entire Ministry. I sure didn't start off on the right foot either.' Melissa remembered the bad moment in her life where she had lost her temper at a fellow work mate.
Melissa picked up the clipboard and filled in the information.
Text Cut: Clipboard
Name: Melissa Jane Potter
Department: Magical Law Enforcement, Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office.
She then handed over the clipboard, picked up a name tag & handed over her wand with both hands to her Department Head.
"Hello Mr. Ferguson. It is good to see you again. I'm Melissa Potter." Melissa smiled at him in greeting.

Julia strode in, just in time for the Orientation. She looked around and saw, aah, formalities! Can't they just use magic? She sighed and walked towards the desk, thinking about how there would be no formalities if she were to do it. Julia took the quill and jotted down the details on the clipboard.
Name: Julia Smith
Dept: MLE, IUMO
She placed the quill, took a name-tag and moved over to the wand weighter. It was Mr.Ferguson. Wait, what? Oh, what is he doing here? Wand weighting? Julia took out her wand and produced it. "Fancy seeing you here chief" she said, smiling at Wesley. "Aren't you not planning to enjoy the orientation with us?" she asked.

Finally the ministry seemed to be getting back to normal. Well as normal as being introduced to things some of which he already knew. Funny they hadn't had anything similar when he first joined, why he didn't know but it might of saved him some headache. Oh well, whatever the reason for not then but now, Simon was glad to be returning to some sense of work, having been trying his best to keep busy during the break.
Approaching the security checkpoint, the YATI spotted his department head being the one running the wand weighing. Interesting choice given the fact one might have supposed the usual workers at the task would continue. In fact those already there seemed to be from their level as well. "Good day, Boss," he greeted as he picked up the clipboard to sign himself in.
Quote:
Name: Simon Bennett
Department: MLE; Auror Office
Once he was finished, Simon set it back down and took put his wand, producing it for the man.

Gabriela Schultz smoothed her blonde hair down as she approached the weighing station, smiling politely at the man she assumed was head of security. She had been so BORED waiting for this orientation--Tucker wasn't even home to keep her company anymore. He'd left her for Hogwarts, and got sorted in to Hufflepuff of all places. Needless to say, she had taken quite a while to get over that terrible tragedy. He'd written her five letters begging to come home and be homeschooled, but she would not allow it. Hogwarts was the finest institution for young wizards, and she was not about to let her son pass that up, despite a horrible error in the Sorting Hat's judgement. Putting those thoughts out of her mind, she signed her name happily on the clipboard.
Quote:
Name: Gabriela Schultz
Department: Accidents and Catastrophes
She then pulled out her thin, slender wand and handed it over, tapping her foot impatiently as she waited, although her face still looked warm and happy despite her anxiousness to get in the orientation already.

Her department head "Oh Hello Mr.Ferguson!" she said to him.. he remembered who she was right.. cause your suppose to know your employees right, right. why was he doing the wand weigh ins? SHe handed over her precious wand to him and allowed him to weight in in.
Annalise walked into the Security Checkpoint, smiling nervously over at people as she passed. This would be about the fourth time she had been here, and FIINALLY she had a job. Tossing back her long blonde hair, she leaned down and picked up the sign-in clipboard.

Victoria BEAMED. New job, new people, new friends. That was good. And the better pay was even better. Oh, Security Checkpoint. How nice. She took the clipboard and quickly scribbled her name and new department. Oooh, this was so exciting!!!

Blahhhhhh - whatever. Ella regretted being here the second she walked through the door. But taking the clipboard, she wrote down, rather messily...
Quote:
Name: Eleanor Ainsworth
Department: Department of Mysteries: Love Specialist
Yadaaaaa - that would do. She picked herself a name tag, then pulled out her wand from her pocket and smiled at the department head in front of her, before handing it over. She didn't exactly know his name, so a smile and a small greeting would do. "Good morning." Yep.

Ellis walked in with all smiles on her first day. She walked up to the security check point and filled out all the necessary information:
Name: Ellis Wesley
Department: Ministers Office
She picked up a name tag, pulled out her wand and placed it to the department person in front of her. She didnt know the persons name so she just went with a greeting - "Hello, good morning"
Victoria was happy to be back at the ministry. How exciting! She walked in passing a few others she knew, nodded, smiled and continued walking towards the Security Check Point. When she arrived there she took the clip board and wrote her information down.
Name: Victoria Summit
Department: Minister of Magic's Office.
She placed the clip board back where she got it and got herself a name tag. Taking out her wand and handed it to the person. "Good morning," she said.
Dacs enetered the ministry with her usual swagger; the one that said, 'I will hurt you if you touch me.' As she approached the wand weigher, she realized it was her boss.
"Cutting back on costs?" she said with a mischievous smile as she handed him her wand,"It's good to be back, it's home. Plus, I love the smell of fresh meat in the morning along with some coffee."
YAY. MLE people were FIRST! This post goes out to Kat. ;)

Wes accepted the wand from the first person in line, one of his own, he knew. "Potter. Right." He slid the wand into the machine and remained quiet as it did its whurring and twirling, coming out the other side looking more polished and shinier than before.
"This one yours? 11¼ inches Cherry and Phoenix Feather?"

Interesting last name, there.

He'd need a description of it first.

"Oh hello Millie," Wes returned the MMAO's greeting. He ran her wand through and offered it back to her without a problem. "Still using that oak and unicorn hair combination, I see. Seems like a reliable wand."

*sigh*
"I think you mean morning," Wes returned the blonde woman's greeting, his dark brown eyes narrowing in on hers. Was it just him, or was she a little bit suspicious? Maybe it was because she hadn't just offered her wand up right away... or maybe she was new...
"Wand please." He held out his hand, palm up.

"Morning." What about it was good? Wes ran the lady's wand through the machine with a grunt to himself (this task was getting OLD) and then offered it back to her, though he still kept a grip on it himself. "Wand description?"
Just had to make sure they matched.

"Nice last name," Wes noted, taking the wand from the table. He held it up and inspected it a bit and then ran it through without another word. Morning, afternoon, whatever. Wes wanted to go check out the food area already.

Hmm. "Morning," Wes grumbled as he ran yet ANOTHER wand through the machine. Whose idea was it to have security here anyway, huh? Was it even necessary? It was way too early for this...

You'll have to tell me about your holiday later." And then he could share about his. It'd been.... life-changing. Heh.

Would you mind filling in for me and taking over the wand-weighing station here? Just for a bit, you know, or until your other YATI shows up..."
Would Josh even show up? Time would only tell. Wes gave Simon another reassuring pat, adding, "All you have to do is run the wands through and make sure the wand the machine read matches the wand description they give you. I'm sure you'll do a good job, you know, as a future auror." Nothing wrong with him learning some humility and how the Security division worked and all that.
Wes quickly handed out the few wands he had weighed, gave Simon another CHEERY smile, and headed off to join the rest of the department heads. Whew, the hardest part of the day was through.

Victoria walked through the gates. She was so nervous. Her first day and she knew no one. That's what happened when you move from a different country to a new job, new home, and basically a new life. But this was what was best for her and her son, so she stepped to the security and smiled. "Hello" She wasn't sure what she was doing, but hoped not to do anything wrong.
Looking at the clip board she signed it:
Quote:
Name: Victoria Maroon
Department: Magical Game and Sports
Placing the clip board back down she turned towards the man and pulled out her thin wand. "Hope your having a good day doing all these security checks." she liked to make small talk with people, so she hoped this man was nice.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
So this was the ministry.
Gavin took an extra moment at the door before entering. This would be the first day on the job and he supposed he was excited; if you could call it that. Maybe apprehensive would have been the better chose of words. In a place filled with so many people he could only imagine the work that got done.
Deciding to be prompt about it he walked up to the security checkpoint and snatched up the clipboard. "Good morning." He muttered as he filled it in.
Quote:
Name: Gavin Isaacs
Department: Department of Mysteries
Then, quite reluctantly, he handed over his wand.

Gabriela narrowed her eyes but refrained herself from doing anything else. She didn't need to start any unnecessary drama, she knew the man was just doing his job. She was just not in the mood for it. She just wanted to find Armen so they could rant and rave some more about how they wanted to sue Hogwarts for sorting her child into a weakling house.
"12 inches, oak, with unicorn hair core," she replied with a smile. Ok Mister Security Man, hand it over so I can go in already!

Holly and veela hair... "Unsettling combination," Wes commented as he calmly handed back the wand. But at least it did match the machine's reading... "Here you go."

"Yep, that's you." Wes released his hold on the wand and let it fall into the angry-looking woman's hand. Fifty galleons said she worked for Accidents & Catastrophes! She seemed like the type who'd get along with Thea.

Elizabeth nodded at his comment and took her wand back. She slipped it back into its place, "Thank you. Have a good day." She gave a half smile and slipped away to go find Gavin.
Jade walked into the security check point area a little stunned by the vast amount of people. In the year or so that she had been at the ministry she hadn't seen so many in one place. But then she tended not to go to the big ministry gatherings preferring the company of those in her own department.
She stepped up to sign her name
Quote:
Name: Jade Gemstone
Department: Accidents and Catastrophes
Once she did that she looked up and smiled at the wizard waiting for her wand. 'Ello. Nice to meet you." Jade doubted that he knew who she was but it didn't hurt to be polite.
"I'm Jade Gemstone." She handed him her wand, "Chestnut and Unicorn core".

"Simon! Man of the hour!"
Uh oh.
Boss being especially happy to see you was usually not a good sign and an excited Wes was no different. Especially as he moved around the table and came up beside him, clapping him on the shoulder. Could he run? Disapparation was certainly out given the wards that were no doubt in place. But no...he was caught and Simon was just going to have to take it like a man. Or a Gryffindor.
Though the idea of him taking over the wand weighing task wasn't a pleasant one. He would be stuck there instead of being AROUND until he was relieved. And that was IF his friend Josh even showed up. Inward groan. "Alright," he said, slipping his own wand back inside its home and nodding as Wes described what he had to do, understanding the gist of it. Simon just hoped he didn't get any troublemakers for he was not in the mood to handle them. He half-forced a smile as the department head walked away leaving him alone, the YATI taking a deep breath before walking behind the table and turning to the next in line.
"Next..."

Looking at the clip board she signed it:
Placing the clip board back down she turned towards the man and pulled out her thin wand. "Hope your having a good day doing all these security checks." she liked to make small talk with people, so she hoped this man was nice.
First was a woman who from her sign-in was from Games and Sports. New to it if his observance was correct. "Good day, Miss Maroon," he said returning her greeting and trying to put on an air of politeness and professionalism. He had to be proper hadn't he?
"Just started actually so your my first customer," he answered accepting the offered wand and slipping it through the machine. "Could you tell me your wand's characteristics."

Next came a man and Simon watched as he signed in. The YATI waiting to see if the wand was willing given over without him having to ask and sure enough it was. Just a tad reluctantly but still. Two down...however many more to go. "Good morning," he echoed. "Thank you," he replied taking the wand from his possession and scanning it through the wand-weigher. "Please tell me about your wand."

His next customer was another woman, perhaps closer his age if that was anything to gauge people by. She did seem a bit more relaxed and perhaps more experienced then the other two employees. "Hello," he greeted with a polite nod as she introduced herself and handed over her wand. Yep...definantly more experienced since she knew to tell him about her wand. Running it through the machine, he nodded in confirmation as the scan and the given information matched up.
"Here you are," Simon said handing her back her newly polished wand. " Good day."

"Just started actually so your my first customer," he answered accepting the offered wand and slipping it through the machine. "Could you tell me your wand's characteristics."
Victoria smiled at the gentleman after he had called her and said her name. Miss.. she would have to get use to that again now wouldn't she. "Well then I hope I won't be to much trouble for your first person." Then he had asked about her wand, oh yes her wand she almost forgot she handed it over. Get it together Victoria she thought to herself, "Oh my wand is 9 1/2 applewood, with a unicorn tail."
Then she looked ahead to where she might be walking, biting her lip she looked at him again, "Could you point me in the right direction of where to go. This is my first day and I am already feeling a bit lost."
His next customer was another woman, perhaps closer his age if that was anything to gauge people by. She did seem a bit more relaxed and perhaps more experienced then the other two employees. "Hello," he greeted with a polite nod as she introduced herself and handed over her wand. Yep...definantly more experienced since she knew to tell him about her wand. Running it through the machine, he nodded in confirmation as the scan and the given information matched up.
"Here you are," Simon said handing her back her newly polished wand. " Good day."
Jade smiled back as she took her wand. "Thank You. You have a nice day as well."
Now that she had signed in and got her wand tested, Jade couldn't decide what she would do next. She saw the sign for the "meet and greet" area and thought that was a good place to start.

Manolo walked up to the checkpoint, a bit nervous. It was his first professional job, after all. He ran his hand through his hair as he waited in line, then walked up and grabbed a name tag and wrote down his name.

He walked up to the wand weighing-er. "Good day, sir."
