Okay...so people could say it.

He, Simon Spencer Bennett...for all his Gryffindorness...was a coward.

The sudden appearance of Kyle's twin brother had unsettled him for some reason and he had used the excuse of having to get back to work as a way to make a quick exit from the uncomfortable scene he found himself in. His own pride reminded him that the conversation that he had left had been a personal one for the siblings and that he didn't have a place there...not yet.

Maybe not ever. Depending on how their relationship went in the future.

Slipping back into the department, the YATI almost returned to the office. But he stopped in his travel and detoured into the bathrooms. He needed to collect himself if he was going to be able to appear before certain co-workers. Once inside Simon leaned back against the wall right inside with a sigh, his eyes closed as he tried to deal with his musings.

Ooooookay so this was clearly the Men's Bathroom, lucky him right? What would have happened if he walked into the Women's instead? This department shouldn't be so hard to navigate around but every door he tried to open was locked shut, and this was the first door he could open that let him.

Stepping back out of the bathroom Saul lifted his thick glasses over top his head and looked around to get his bearings. Where the hell was his office?

Perhaps a bathroom break was in order before more coffee. Yeah, yeah it was. Wes walked into the men's bathroom and paused as one of his employees (a NEW one, he REMEMBERED!) was standing there looking confunded.

"Sauld, right?" he pointed at the guy. "You're in the bathroom. Not your office." So don't go sitting in a urinal or anything, kid.

Popping Pixies!
Saul hit his head on the wall just as he saw his DH turn the corner and recognized him! He introduced himself as Wes, yes? Oh what was his last name, it escaped him. "right, ummmm...."Sir"
Good back-up Saul, maybe that would work for the Lazy Brute. He rubbed his head and his glasses fell back down to his face. "I can't figure my way around this place." Saul admitted, "I figured since the bathroom was the only door that let me in anywhere around here. I'd set up shop in one of the stalls."

Wes just gave his new employee a weirrrrrrd look, particularly as the guy rambled on about locked doors. "I don't know where YOU are trying to go to work," he said carefully, "but the cubicles are generally pretty open spaces. I'm amazed at how you missed them."

He grunted and pointed a thumb out the bathroom door. "It's a bit of a labyrinth, but if you go straight out this door, you'll go through reception and then you can either shortcut through the forensics lab on your left or you can go straight, go left, and then weave around the MMAO, CMEC, and Wizengamot desks to get to IUMO, your division. You're in the corner."

Got it?

It may have seemed like a blank stare but Saul was doing his best to decipher everything that the Bos-Man-Lazy-Brute-Sir-Guy-Dude was saying. he stayed quiet for only a moment then finally figured it out. "Right. Got it." Saul said as he walked in the opposite direction of where he was told to go after exiting the Bathroom.

"Good luck," Wes muttered, belatedly wondering why he hadn't just offered to get the guy there himself. Oh well, he had to use the bathroom badly by now.

The moaning girl stumbled and fumbled her way to the bathroom. Her drool covered hands pushed against the door leaving evidence of her drooly self with every step. Her mouth, which hung slightly open seemed to be spilling out drool as if a skipping milk-maid was carrying a bowl of corn syrup and with every step more would slosh this way and that.

Just how much of the vile stuff was left? She'd wonder before going about and drooling yet again. "Baaa-baaaaaaathroooooom" she ended up reading aloud the sign to the bathroom now covered in the same vile fluids as they sprayed from her lips.

If she were herself and not this drool-monster right now she'd have cleaned it. A small part of her that still remained tried to clean the muck off of the wall. "Spurgthithy" nothing. She swallowed, coughed, and tired again. "Scourgify" she pointed. Nothing - well not nothing. The wrong thing happened all together instead of her mouthy ecto-gunc disappearing into a wasteland of lost ghostly ectoplasm and disgusting dirty thingies more seemed to erupt and it began to ooze down the door with more vigilance than before.

Lights had followed the drooling girl from the Waiting Room into the bathroom, staying at an apprehensive distance. She was surprised when she actually said something coherent. Could zombies read? Maybe the girl was coming back to herself? Evidentially she was, if trying to perform a cleaning charm was any indication. Didn't work though - if anything, it just made the mess worse.

Maybe she should try to talk to the girl.
"Hey, honey?" Lights' voice sounded a little wobbly even to herself. She cleared her throat to give herself time to search more the girl's name in her memory. Kelsey? Katie? Kyleigh? Kyleigh, that was it. "Hey, Kyleigh," she tried again, her voice slightly stronger now she knew the zombie girl's name. "Can you understand me? What're you doing?"

Please don't bite her, please don't bite her ...

Kyleigh turned around at the girl her dry eyes seemed bloodshot. Coughing slightly so as to clear her throat she just blinked at Lights. "Westwoom" she pointed jabbing her hand at the door. What she'd just been sick and wanted to clean off.

"Need" she paused wiping her mouth off rather slowly. "to wash my face" she pointed at her face and then at the door.

She cocked her head to the side and looked at Lights. She smiled lazily her eyes showing off a sheen of awkward hunger.

It was a typical work day, Vic hadn't spent the night at the office in a long time now, thankfully. He wasn't here to wash the sleepiness out of his eyes or soak his hair with water to look like he'd just showered and came to work, no. Today he was using the bathroom for what it was actually constructed for - relieving yourself.

Vic did his business cheerfully, whistling and everything. Then he went to the sink, his hand barely touched the tap when the water burst open soaking his shirt urging him to stop whistling and let out a tiny curse. Drats!

After spending so much time working without a break, the YATIs were a bunch to deal with, especially with Aspen Odessa, Josh started to feel the urgent need to use the loo and after holding it for so long, he finally found the opportunity to relieve himself from the burden. He literally rushed to the place and...it was like the best thing in the world.

Just when he got out of one of the toilets, he heard someone was already inside too. Hmmm...well...nothing was unusual with that. This was a bathroom and there was no doubt everyone would need to use it at some point. He walked to one of the sinks after the man to wash his hands. Yet before he reached there was some "splashing" so he turned and stared at the man and raised his eyebrows upon seeing the attack of the sink.

"Oh...wow. Looks like it hates you."
