Feel free to call me Donovan," he said with a light chuckle, appreciating the amount of respect Edilson already showed on the first day. It gave him quite a good first impression although it did feel a little weird being called 'sir' even if he was his supervisor. After all, the man couldn't be much younger than him.

"Just a few basics," he began. "I know that you've already signed a confidentiality agreement when you were given this position, but I'm required by law to repeat that as an Unspeakable, you are under no circumstances to discuss anything that takes place or is spoken about in any area of Level Nine. The things we study, research, and develop are extremely confidential and must be kept that way. Not only would you be immediately dismissed if you break this confidence, but there would be legal ramifications as well. If you find yourself in a position where you must say something, let me know. We have specific protocol for that." Finding himself in that situatioin last winter, Donovan was certain it wouldn't be the last though he took steps to minimize such events.

And now with the boring, legal stuff out of the way, Donovan intended to discuss Locked Room specifics. But before he could say anything, his attention was diverted as another person walked into the break room. "Hello, DH," he said warmly to his fellow Division Head. "No bother. We're just taking a break and I'm filling my new employee in on a few things before we get back." Donovan gestured towards the younger man sitting with him. "This is Edilson Mills... and this is DH Smith, head of the Planet Room. I trust you know the ladies?" he asked as they had been here some time. "And Kristofer..." did he say his last name? He probably had but it had slipped Donovan's memory for the time being. "He's also a new employee in the Time Room."

Introductions out of the way, he nodded at DH. "Sure, some cocoa sounds good thanks." He figured he still had a little time for a drink while he discussed the rules with Edilson and before they had to go back to work. "I'm good... busy with work. You?" He grinned at his colleague. DH was probably about as busy in his department as Donovan was in his own. Such was the life of a Division Head - little social life. Though he was now trying to take intentional steps against that, and maybe DH would benefit from that as well. "I heard about this new establishment called The Ten Bells the other day. I'm thinking of heading over there when I get my research caught up," whenever that would be, "Why don't you join me sometime?" He glanced and nodded at the rest of the people in the break room, meaning that last sentence for them as well. It might be good to get to know his fellow employees outside the stress of the workplace.

Shrugging, he said, "Sorry, I haven't seen any Planet Room people in a while." Then he turned back to Edilson. "Okay, about the Locked Room. First you need to know that there are some strange... properties about the room. It's very similar to being under the spell of a love potion. It might not hit you right away, it's pretty gradual, but if you start to feel lightheaded or... flirtatious, Please let me know right away. That's why we need to take frequent breaks throughout the day, so we aren't under the influence of the room." Donovan cleared his throat lightly. It was always a bit of an uncomfortable subject for him, but always more so when telling the females. "Currently we are researching the effects of love as a defense against the Unforgivable Curses. It's manufactured, so it most likely wouldn't have the same effect as natural love, but we'd like to develop it as a protection. It's slow-going, but we've made some progress. Any questions so far?"

Just like his father, Edi had a habit of calling Sir or Ma'am if he didn't know the person well or simply out of courtesy. "Donovan.....right!" He said & nodded with a chuckle. Edi looked at Donovan fixedly and wondered if he should take notes but decided against it. "Yes, I am aware of the agreement & the secrecy, however, I wasn't fully aware of the legal implication. Thank You!" Edi said politely. He sighed with relief, cookies for Donovan that he repeated the legal details again or Edilson would be fired by tomorrow. As a matter of fact, he had plan of wadding in Trace with what he did on his first day around the clock...phew..

Edi glanced around & smiled at the ladies while Donovan conversed with DH. He quickly diverted his attention back as the division head proceeded further, "Flirtatious?" Edi's eyebrows raised & he chuckled lightly. It would be hard for him to know when he was not feeling flirtatious. Grinning to himself, Edi straightened up a bit.. "The room is quite fascinating." He thought, glad he choose it as Love was something Edi was very fond of.

Unforgivable Curses? Another interesting point! "OH! The research sound very interesting. Please proceed, no questions." Edi said with a nod.

He approached the bunch of people when he was introduced to the group. He extend his hand to the two new ones, "Daniel Henry Smith. But you can call me DH." he said shaking the hands of Edilson and Kristofer, then he cleared his throat "Like what Donovan said, I am the Head of the Planet Room, we are kind of busy right now, but once we have wrapped up the research we are doing, you are free to visit us and have fun." he said. He then looked at the ladies and smiled, "How are you, ladies?" he said.

Daniel then flicked his wand and gave a cup of cocoa to Donovan. He also handed a small basket of crumpets to him. "How about you guys?" he said looking at the others.
Edi stood up from his chair & shook Daniel's hand firmly, "As Donovan said, I am Edilson Mills, joined today." He said smiling broadly. Cocoa? Did some just offered him Cocoa? Edi couldn't pass this offer..nuhuh! Actually, he never says NO to food & it doesn't matters if he is hungry or not. Food or perhaps eating is something Edi is seriously passionate about. "I'll like some Cocoa!" Edi said grinning.."& I'll definitely visit The Planet Room, DH" He added.
