There was no method to the madness, just mess. "You'd be surprised," she added, smirking. "The Atrium is Securities hot spot, but it's only one level." Besides, who was to say security issues were restricted to people getting in and out of the main entrance? Or that threats came from outside? Hhhhmmmm?

Pushed aside, the way Vic said that made it sound like a bad thing. Like birthdays shouldn't go unnoticed. While Emily was sympathetic to her friend - to an extent, she couldn't really commit enough to pass comment. Birthdays were overrated. Besides, age was just a number. She smiled again, nodding. Yes, pregnant ladies should get away, put their feet up, and then wait for the impending doom that was birth. Had she not been given that advice before, Emily would have laughed in Vic's face. "I'm not the holidaying type," she mused, though that wasn't entirely true. She did get away, and travel... for work purposes, or at least close to. Her project had been abandoned though, the trail was cold, and there was only a dead end in sight. "I like to keep busy, I tend to go mad if I'm not preoccupied." So her new position was a blessing to her. It kept her busy enough while still affording her the luxury of working to her own schedule - should she want to, or need to.

Muggle school! HA! Hilarious. Not that there was anything wrong with geography, arithmetic and grammar studies... except that it wasn't magic. Well good luck to them.

Gavin, exaggerating was an amusing topic, so Emily was perfectly comfortable with chuckling along with Vic on that one -- for a short time, then she stopped. She'd witnessed his exaggerating first hand and on numerous occasions, it was just one of his many quirks - and one that she found amusing. For the life of her though, she couldn't fathom why anyone would willingly subject themselves to testing a love potion... the thought in itself was completely ridiculous and vile. "... It didn't occur to you to get a hobby?" she asked, still confused about WHY she participated. "At least, it worked out?" she finished. Considering they managed to date, and... produce fetuses... it wasn't a bad outcome. For them.

Vic's mention of pushing buttons she understood, yes, that was fun, especially with control freaks... but relationships? "You don't need to be in a relationship to do that," she pointed out. Or was she missing something? Unless she was talking about other buttons... .... .... in which case. Moving on.

She'd been about to change the topic, and was about to check the time to see how long she had left of her break when....

...

Emily looked up, light drops of... liquid... dripping on her face, and in her hair, and on her clothes. Merlin. Was it raining?

With the slightest flick of her wrist, Emily summoned her wand into her palm and directed it to the ceiling, "Finite!" What. Was. This. Maddness?! HUUHHH?!?! WHY WAS IT RAINING INSIDE?!

...

"Eeeerrrrr...."

If things were getting soft I mean.” Emily might look like a beautiful lady, but Victoria knew she could have a rough and tough side when needed. Not that she saw it first hand, but to be in the position her friend was in she had to be. She listened to all the places security was pushed up, places she would expect. “Well I hope it helps and I hope you find that woman. She gave me the creeps at the trial. So smiley and confident. It was just unnerving.” She didn’t like the woman at all and now that she was loose Vic hated the thought.

“Oh nonsense Emily you have to get away sometimes. How do you not get burned out if all you do is work.” She needed to teach her friend how to relax, but she wasn’t sure she even knew what that word was anymore. “You could go somewhere to relax and take a book or do some sightseeing that would be relaxing and keep you busy.” It was a perfect sounding vacation to her at least.

She saw the look of amusement on her friends face, “My thoughts exactly, but it scared him so it worked I guess.” She hoped it did at least. He wasn’t getting into too much trouble that she was aware of while he had been home.

“A hobby?” What on earth hoppy would she take up, “I have gobbstones and Quidditch, I was in a town that I hadn’t lived in since I was seventeen and knew really one person well.” Mariel was her first and best friend at the ministry. “Figured it wouldn’t hurt and it didn’t. I had some fun with Gavin, you should have seen the look on his face when I screamed about how great he was in the café. I still can’t believe I did that.” She shook her head, but she really didn’t have a choice now did she. “Plus it didn’t stop Charely.” She grinned glancing at her overly huge belly.

A laughter spread through her and louder than she would have liked, “No you don’t have to be in a relationship I guess.” That was about as far as she was taking that conversation. She enjoyed pushing the man’s buttons and could only imagine what someone else could do to drive him crazy. Her thoughts were interrupted though, “Raining?” She blinked towards the ceiling. Brown eyes focusing back on Emily she watched as she flicked her wand. Hopefully that would stop the rain but how did it start?

He and Izzy were well in Australia, and she got this fantastic opportunity. No complaints, even if she was changing things up and putting her own stamp on the department, a more sever stamp. "It will, and don't worry... she can't hide forever..." it was only a matter of time before they caught her, or someone put an end to her. "She's psychotic... must be her dementia setting in after all those years."

As for getting away and talk of getting burned out, Emily grimaced, emitting a low grunt. She wouldn't get burned out, there was nothing to burn her out with. Work was work, and there was nothing else competing for her attention and time, ergo, with no competition, there would be no burning. "I'm used to it," she replied after a brief pause, "to the work... it's all I've ever known." So it wasn't a problem. If anything, it would be a problem preventing her from working all the time - it would drive her mad. Though Gavin was slowly changing that, with his bright suggestions and the whole distracting her thing.

And speaking of...

She still didn't see the appeal, or the sense in the whole situation. Not at all. "Yeah, you know, read a book? yoga? knitting? painting?" things that you could do without subjecting yourself to a loss of control of desires and potentially humiliating yourself as well as others. From her point of view, almost anything was better than Amortentia testing. Almost anything. The bit abouthaving fun with Gavin, irked her on the inside~~jealousy~~, though she continued to wear her easy smile. "I can only imagine," she mused at the thoughts.

It soon became clear that the rain was not the product of a poor joke, but rather, it was something else entirely. "I think... the climate controls are wonky..." and it wasn't the first thing to be going wrong in the Ministry. Circe. Emily cast a silent water repelling charm on herself and Vic, there was no need for them to soak to the bone in this, and she proceeded by conjuring her patronus, the silvery African wild dog bounding off for level four.

It was just another day at the Ministry of checking climate controls, but the last thing on Earth she expected was for something to actually be WRONG. After all, she'd just checked the controls yesterday and everything was fine ... so why in the name of Pluto was it raining in the food court? Obviously some trick or prank. Nonetheless, Alex took off from level four and headed down to the food court to investigate - taking the stairs, naturally, given the unreliability of the lifts these days.

Quickly casting a water repelling charm over herself before entering the seating area, she blinked in shock that it was indeed precipitating!

"Victoria." Alex greeted politely, and nodded to the other woman present. No time for chatter though, she was here on business.

"Meteolojinx Recanto," Alex said, pointing her wand at the bizarre rain clouds overhead. Hopefully that ought to do the trick ....
