He was certain that the overall strangeness to him was exacerbated by his no-maj upbringing and early education. But thankfully, over the last year he'd grown used to seeing them and now as he entered to begin his work for the day, he hardly even noticed them.

Setting himself up at one of the desks, Evan laid out all of the ingredients to complete another batch of potion to add to the tank, but before he could begin his eyes caught sight of the other desks left with some bits of residue from whoever had created it last. Preferring to start his work in a clean space, he stepped away and retrieved his wand from it's holster. A few cleaning spells here and there, and some parchments stacked neatly on top of each other should do the trick.

The minor nousist stepped to one of the first desks to do just that.


Well...shoot...

Now, it was his first day here on the job within the Ministry, save for the Orientation Day which happened a few days prior, but there was a sinking feeling growing within Gethin Hughes that the room he had just entered was not the chamber he was supposed to be in. The atmosphere didn't really match his job as one of the Unspeakables here in the Department of Mysteries, and this fact could be inferred from the large glass jar with all the floating brain-like creatures in the center of it. With this now also in mind, it had started to occur to the Welsh man that he got here because he was not entirely familiar with how the Spinning Room worked. He could've sworn he said 'Death Chamber, but now, come to think of it; the wording might've been misconstrued. The word 'thought' must've somehow slipped out when he was speaking it originally, so now he was here within the Thought Chamber.

It was no big matter though, or at least, hopefully not. Hughie knew that some of the rooms were deemed more lucrative than others, so entry to them was somewhat...restricted. Mistakes do happen though. Besides the fact, at least it wasn't as if he was some random person walking in here. So, certainly, if worse came to worse the lad would have that riding for his side. Luckily enough too, there appeared to be another worker already in here as his one hazel and one blueish-gray eye scanned the area; a man tidying up one of the many desks. Perhaps they could lend a hand with how the Entry Chamber works. The only issue was, Gethin dreaded having to start the social interaction.

But, he had to get to the Death Chamber. He wouldn't want to be running too late on his first day, so he'd just lowly sigh and walk on over to other guy, clearing his throat partially before speaking up in a calm, yet confused tone "Excuse me," The Welsh accent began, somewhat strong, yet still clear and understandable. "-I seem to have gotten things mixed up in the Entry Chamber. I'm another Unspeakable here, and needing to get to the Death Chamber. If you could kindly remind me again how to get there, the help would be much appreciated." Hopefully, the former Ravenclaw wasn't making a fool of himself either with this mix-up. It raised a question in his head 'Did others make this same mistake on occasion?' But the other guy seemed kind and understanding enough so, there was a shred of hope at least.
