Maybe too eager? Meh. Better to be on board with it all than to complain like some of these people were. Blaise nodded his head at the man. "Nice to meet you John. Are you one of my people, or a volunteer?"

Now was when he had to start making decisions. He looked at everyone he had out in front of him, mentally taking notes about their age and what experience they may have. It really was up to him to put them wherever he wanted, but they also had to be comfortable where they were all at as well. There was no use putting someone in a place they wouldn't function well, or get bored with easily.

"First off," he said. "I need a volunteer to go fetch small notepads for each one of us while we settle who is going to patrol where. Then, if you are good at Charms, please assist us in doing the Protean Charm - " or whatever it was called, all he knew was that he could do it " - so we are able to communicate properly between each other and to report anything suspicious. I will give you Muggle currency in order to do so. Also, don't forget the pens. We also need to charm them." Could they charm them so that messages can only go to one person and not everyone? Okay, maybe he wasn't so sure about him doing the spell. It had been so long since he needed to do something like that, and he didn't want to risk messing it up.

"Second," he said. "I need you to inform me of where you are most comfortable working - if you know this place at all, what specifics you know, or what you don't. If you don't have any idea about any of this, I'll assign you to a place." He turned to face everyone around him more with maps in hand, holding them out. "Please look over this map and tell me what you think would work best for you. Also please note I WILL be rotating people around, so don't get too comfy where you are at, because it will most likely not be permanent and some of you may not be working with me for long. Depending on where you are, you also may have to cover more than one area."

He waited a few moments while everyone looked over a map (or that's what they SHOULD be doing anyway) and also looked down at his own. He would have no problem going around everything because he was fast, and easily unseen. His main focus would be on the Minister's Office and checking on how everyone else was doing. Later on he would have to schedule training for people who would be with him the most, but there was time for that later.

"Third," he began again, looking back up. "My main priority will be around the Minister's Office. Actually, Emily and I will be the main ones there. However, I will be checking in on all of you. You may or may not see me, it depends on how things are that day. You need to be constantly aware, constantly observing the area around you. I do understand it is hard because it is a new area, and an unusual one, but we are Law Enforcement. We can handle whatever is thrown our way."

He glanced around at everyone once more. What had meant to just be a statement really turned into a pep talk at the end. Blaise had a knack for things like that. It was easier to work with people who were somewhat excited for what they were about to do, and it was up to him to help them out and work easier, and better as a team.
