*BLINK*
Floor...she was...lying...on the...floor!??! The redhead rolled over and saw stars...MErlin..."I-what- whaa?" she asked, grumbling a bit, covering her face with her arm...and then it happened AGAIN....her eyes went blank, her expression blank, and the drool persisted...a LOT...She sat up, rather mechanically...her arms held out...eerily...She was muttering words that sounded jumbled...and some weren't even words. actually, there WERE no actual words being said..just a load of wiffffle. She then stood up, still in a trance almost, and just stared ahead...droooooling....she bared her teeth...they looked a LOT sharper than usual teeth?
Weird..?
Kensi took a step forward, and then another, only moving one foot at a time...as if walking was stiff and unnatural for her...it was the longest she had ever been in one of these fits... Kensi moved and even talked.
Tasha had thought the younger woman was down and out for the count but evidently not. She scrambled out of the way as Kensi sat up and eventually got to her feet and started to walk forwards, staring straight ahead and with drool dropping from her mouth.
"Are you okay?" Tasha asked once more. If she had stumbled over a chair and smacked her face in the floor she wouldn’t be up and walking just as quickly but everyone was different. Text Cut: Roxanne Quote:

Who knew what amusing-but-not spin she might accidentally put on it this time. "Dorian, could I speak with you and Kensi for a minute? Alone." she asked, sending a pointed look at anyone else that was around. Yep, that was her not so subtle hint that this was departmental business that no one else needed to hear. So shoo. From out of nowhere another blond woman appeared that demanded attention and for her wishes to be followed promptly. She didn’t even seem to care that everyone around Kensi were trying to come up with a way to help the very sick woman. The blond seemed to have her own ideas and the look she shot Tasha's way was both RUDE and disrespectful.
Shooting a long STARE back in return Tasha didn’t bother saying anything because clearly this woman didn’t deserve her kindness. Text Cut: Dorian Quote:
Originally Posted by SilverTiger Dorian had turned his head toward Natasha rather sharply at the sound of her cough, only because he hadn't quite expected the response. Not after their previous almost banter, but he relaxed again (as much as was possible for him) as she'd spoken. At least it didn't seem like she'd taken offense to the comment, especially since he was fairly certain Isobel was still around as well. Offending the department head's sister likely would have gotten back to Wes, and that could make things difficult. Not to mention he hadn't wanted to offend. "Perhaps it's one of those things you need a clear mind for," he replied, matter-of-factly. "Or a second outlook." That second idea sounded better, even if it really wasn't any different from the former. Essentially he was suggesting that she was too close to the situation to be expected to come up with ideas to fix it all.
Just like how he was trying to get a clear outlook on what exactly had been going on here at the Ministry, now that he'd gotten to see it first hand in the form of Ms. Whitworth. But first was dealing with what seemed to be sympathy, and he shrugged slightly. "It depends on the definition of work. I wasn't dealing with paperwork or anything like that," he clarified. Besides the letters to Italy, but those weren't official work. They had nothing to do with CMEC, at least, and he hadn't done much related to that over the holiday.
Those thoughts had paused when he'd witnessed his colleague's crash to the floor, and he'd approached with Natasha. He wasn't exactly going to be getting too close, just in case Ms. Whitworth decided to revive and act odd again, but he was still concerned. This was all just not exactly what he'd expected to witness at the Ministry-wide event, even if he'd been curious as to if that was still occurring. He'd nodded at Natasha's suggestion, though. Getting assistance was advisable, before the redhead had flipped over and seemed normal for a few seconds. He wasn't holding his breath, and that seemed to have been a good idea as she'd snapped back into the zombie-like behavior seconds after she'd first spoken. And he contemplated trying for her arm again as she'd begun moving.
Only to be pulled up short by the arrival of Roxanne, and he gave the Wizengamot worker a bland look as she seemed to act as if there was nothing odd about Ms. Whitworth. He wouldn't act as if he was concerned if nobody else did, though, either. Only Natasha seemed concerned about Ms. Whitworth's situation, even if she also didn't seem to know how different it was from normal. Not to mention it seemed the blonde was receiving a look from Roxanne, but Dorian shrugged again. "Of course. We can continue our conversation later, can't we Natasha," he replied, keeping one eye on Ms. Whitworth as he put his attention back on the Accidents and Catastrophes employee. Even if Roxanne felt the need to be rude, he wasn't going to be, and that meant she'd have to wait a few moments.
However, then he took a few steps away from her, allowing Roxanne to have her privacy she'd requested even as he tried to direct Ms. Whitworth in the same direction. He was still prepared to use his wand if he needed, but he'd hear Roxanne out first. Her good mood changed into something that could only be described as neutral. Trying to shrug off the rude look Tasha focused her attention on Dorian that was suggesting that she’d get a second neutral opinion about her possible stationary troubles. Nodding she replied. "I will ask Ms Schrimer about it. She might have heard of other employees on level 3 with the same problem." Or Althea could at least put an end to her little worry by some logical reasoning, she was good at that.
When Dorian seemed to want to leave their conversation and focus his full attention on Kensi and the rude blond Tasha complied with a shrug. "Of course Dorian, we can continue our conversation some other time or day." It didn’t matter. Kensi should be the priority since she was sick. But it was a little weird. Why hadn’t Dorian apologized for his colleague’s rudeness since he had picked up on it and clearly disapproved? Was it because he had thought he had offended her earlier? Text Cut: Charles Quote:
Originally Posted by Becky That was a good question. A REALLY good question. For the first time that day, Charles paused to think about it. "I'm not sure either of them is fun. But being an interpreter is fulfilling and being an ambassador gives me a sense of importance." He wasn't going to make any excuses about it. "I mean, I'm talking to other countries and giving them information, exchanging policies, making sure they understand them, I could go on..." But he wouldn't, he didn't want to bore her.
It seemed he'd been wrong about her job. She wasn't cleaning up after snotbags who didn't know how to use their wands! It sounded like her job was more important than that, and from her explanation, he knew it was. "So you're one of the people behind keeping our mass gatherings a secret." That was impressive. "Surely having a job that can affect several people can be stressful...?" Turning her attention to Charles once more she was slightly baffled. He didn’t seem to enjoy his two jobs as much as he saw their value and importance. It was a little peculiar but everyone had different driving forces for going to work and putting down the work each day. "What languages do you speak?" Tasha asked curiously. It might prove of use in her work since she sometimes had dealings with other countries where she didn’t speak the language and they in turn couldn’t speak any English.
"Yes I am. And it is very stressful and demanding if there are big events or gatherings taking place that we have to hide from muggles. Last time I think I went without pretty much no sleep while the event took place because you have to monitor so many people and keep them from revealing the magical world to muggles." Too much could go wrong or did go wrong when witches and wizards from different countries met. Text Cut: Izzy Quote:

Sure she trusted her husband, but their twins were a handful, and after today she didn't need him becoming stressed. "Maybe not tonight..." She mused, thinking about it. They'd both be tired, today was a big day. "He'll be tired, and you know how the twins are." They were little rascals. "Maybe at the weekend Tash." She didn't have any plans, so that could work. "I understand. Owl me on Friday and we can arrange something, yes?" Tasha said with a smile and a squeeze of her sister’s arm. It was easy to see that Isobel was exhausted and from the dark rings under her eyes. Wesley probably sported the same ting rings all though she hadn’t seen him in a while.
"Did you manage to enjoy the vacation at all?" she queried. From what she had heard about the twins she had a feeling that’d kept both Izzy and Wesley quite busy from dawn to dusk. Text Cut: Lulu Quote:

As she walked inside the room, Lulu grinned. Putting on her smile, she saw a number of people. Some were old, based on the way they presented themselves, and some were new. Quiet and all those stuff.
Oh right, she was the new Department Head for Games and Sports. So she had to present herself as confident but she didn't have to since she was already self-confident. She was excited to see the people she'll be working with for this year. Probably she'll also keep the job next year but well...
She didn't know anyone, but she was feeling great that she was here. Yep. Yet another blond woman entered the room on sky high greenish heels. When the woman passed by Tasha she couldn't keep herself from commenting with a thouch of envy in her voice. "Lovely heels, that green colour really fits your dress. But I couldn't for the life of me wear such high heels." She had tried and failed a number of times. It was her toes that took the most beating and as such Tasha settled for wearing low heels only.
