"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 insidejealousy, 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.

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 .... Now the rain was still falling around the two women, only instead of hitting them, it was bouncing off an invisible barrier.
Now, if only the climate control witch had had the same success. But it was still raining in the Seating Area. Maybe try making the 'strings' of the original spell visible....?
