He'd hoped that they'd maybe gotten into the Patents area and that was it. "Have you managed to get the Entrance clean?" If not, he'd do that. Totally.

Taking the spray bottle from his boss, Adam offered her his own grimace. "I guess it was stupid to imagine that it wouldn't take much to get the place back to order, right?" At Mariel's next words, he nodded his thanks, but couldn't stop one of his eyebrows from raising. "Accidents and Catastrophes?" Had he heard that correctly? "What's Creatures position on all of this?" Because in HIS honest opinion, they should have been dealing with this. Or at least offering some help with it. Maybe they had their own infestation to deal with, he considered. They might be around later, he thought. "Thanks, Mariel." Adam let out a sigh, but resigned to eyeing the bottle and readying himself to go and get this job done.

Just as he was about to turn away, Adam noticed the man stood by his boss' side. "You know where I am if you need any help with anything."

That would be in Patents. With that, he left his boss to her company.

Mariel nodded a bit at Adam's words. Of course she wasn't thrilled with what he had to say - she wasn't happy with anything about the current state of their department - but it wasn't anything she didn't expect right now. "Everywhere that I've come across so far," she confirmed, pursing her lips slightly. Or anywhere that she'd been told about to this point. "I left Deliah to take care of the entrance so I could see who else needed assistance for their areas." She knew Vic was headed for the Quidditch offices. If Adam headed up patents, she could stop by Gobstones next - then some of the more recreational areas.

She let out a resigned sigh as the man continued. Yes, she expected her employees to be feeling pretty much the same way she was about the basically year long situation - sick of it. "This is just beyond ridiculous," she said, shaking her head a bit as she looked past him to inside her office. "I am so over the mess and extra work. I'd almost rather be at the hangar still.. at least we had that functioning enough to do our jobs and there wasn't an infestation." Ugh. But then there was the limited magic use being in a Muggle area. She supposed it was a trade-off. "We'll get it done though," she said offering Adam a tight smile. She really did have a great team, she was quite thankful for them. "And then we'll have our building back the way it should be."

The short laugh she emitted was nearly humorless though she really could find the amusement in the situation that Accident and Catastrophes was the one to offer them a solution to their problem. "Yes, I thought it was somewhat odd myself. Funny though.. he appeared almost immediately after we came across those bugs.." she mused aloud. Coincidence, she supposed. "I have no clue.. I haven't seen anyone from Creatures yet, but it would probably be a good idea to speak with someone from there once we get things under control here." Even if just to make sure they were really gone or what they could do to keep them from recurring.

She gave him another nod at his thanks. "Of course.. Let me know if there's anything else you need, but I'll be by shortly to make sure you guys are all alright." Was Ryan back there too? She briefly wondered how he was faring with this as well. And then they should be on their way to some sense of normalcy. She gave him a slightly bigger smile at his words. "Thanks Adam, I appreciate that." She nodded to him as he headed back to take care of his office.

Or whoever the new department head was supposed to be. Was she the help? Because they definitely needed some to clean this place up and stat. "Well first off, what in the name of Merlin's pants happened to this place?! It looks bloody AWFUL." It all just made him so uncomfortable and itchy and shifty and SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. His eyes darted around the room for a feather duster or a broom or wait- he has a wand, DUH. "Can't you just, you know, 'bippity-boppity-boo' this stuff away?" He made a swishing motion with his finger in mock representation of a wand.

But wait. He wasn't here to insist on getting this place cleaned. Which, he might add, was a necessity. He was here to get his job back! "But I'm really here because uh, Mrs., I'm looking for the new department head?" He beamed at her (well as much as he could 'beam' given the cluttered circumstances). "I'm Blake Evergreen. I was stuck in America for longer than expected, but I'm here to get my assignments and talk to my new boss!" He failed to mention the fact that he was gone A LOT longer than expected. Hopefully he wouldn't get fired. This baby was his life. What was better than playing Quidditch? Working Quidditch of course!

Attitude. Mariel loved it unless it was directed to her, unwarranted. Just who was this man and did he have any idea who he was speaking to? Eyebrow raised, the 29 year old gave the man a rather unimpressed look as he went on about the conditions of her department. Of course she was not happy in the slightest about its state herself, but she did not need anyone telling her what she needed to do about it when she was well aware. "Do I look like Maintenance to you?" she responded shortly, eyeing up his swishing finger. "And I am not familiar with that particular spell, sir, but as we've just recently re-accessed the Ministry and discovered a chizpurfle infestation, we're doing the best we can." It was bad enough that they could never get Maintenance down here but now she was getting mistaken for one that wasn't doing their job. Ugh, she was so sick of this mess. Was it too much to ask that they just have a decent place to actual do their work for a change and not spend all their time cleaning and fixing up?

Oh... right. Blake Evergreen. She had seen his paperwork come across her desk and had nearly forgotten that he was due to return. That would explain his presence. "You're looking at her," she began, giving him an assessing eye. "Mariel Morgan.. I'm the Department Head of Magical Games and Sports." And he was a Quidditch person which would suit her quite well given the activity in that division as of late, but that could be talked about. "Your first task, since you're so keen on seeing this place cleaned up, is to help me spray down this office and get rid of the chizpurfles." She thrust the remaining bottle in her hand towards him.

"I don't advise using any magic until we get rid of all of them.. unless you fancy them eating your wand." She frowned a bit, thinking of Victoria's.. hopefully there wasn't much damage done there. "I'll go get another bottle and we can talk about your job while we work." Efficiency at it's best. And if she had to do Maintenance's job, she might as well get some of her own work done at the same time if she could.
