Finally Blackstone got to the good stuff. A car dealer? Was this really what the Ministry dealt with these days? Twenty, thirty years ago everything was a bit more malevolent, a bit more sinister. But perhaps Penney had malicious intentions after all.

Misha's eyes narrowed and the crow's feet around his eyes stood out. "You know, years ago I'd have blasted my way in there and hit him so hard with a stunning curse he'd be blabbing all he knows within seconds." Fukshansky shook his head almost mockingly, "But you young guns are much more modest these days."

His weary blue eyes looked to his left at Taylor, that girl seemed young. Very young, not too far out of Hogwarts. Division Head... he couldn't have been much older.

"I'd hope that veritaserum isn't illegal these days, find his local pub... slip a bit in his drink. Hell, someone track him under a disillusionment charm. We need to exhaust all of these options. No wonder everything gets so backed up in court these days, it takes the Ministry nine Christmas's to even do anything." His scratchy, croaky voice was surprisingly powerful and loud.

Ah yes, the World Cup was coming up. "I can run things anywhere you put me. I'd be particularly fond of showing the young guns that populate the Hogwarts corridors a lesson or two. Kids these days, so ignorant." He smiled though, ironically, as when he was fifteen he'd been caught doing magic at that very world cup. Good times those were.
A smile slipped across Blackstone's face as he listened to Misha. He clearly was experienced and knew what he was doing, unlike Blackstone. Or at least that's what he said. Albeit a little old fashioned, but a comfort to have such... wise advice? ... If wise was the word...

Blackstone finished his mental survey. "I've asked the department head about force and veratiserum. It would certainly make things a lot easier, but there's a good deal of red tape around that kind of stuff." He said, twirling a pencil through his hand. "Mr. Fushanky, I'll let you decide which of these assignments you want to take. Of course, you can do both, but if you prefer, you can pick which you'd like more involvement in."

"I haven't heard much yet from the cup. The campgrounds are divided into four parts, north, south, east and west. Those of you working on the cup should divide it up, take one or two campsites each to monitor. We're looking for magical use, especially magic that stands out. Additionally, around all areas of the cup we're looking for minors using magic. I'm going to contact maintenance and see what we're doing on cleanup."

"Concerning Covington, I've had a couple ideas of my own, should we not get access to forceful methods. Covington is already suspicious, I'm betting, would you agree Zoe?" he asked "However, Taylor and Misha haven't been there yet, I assume. If going incognito isn't enough, we have to find another way to persuade him. What do you think of 'telling' on Zoe or myself, so he finds out we're working for the ministry? Should one of you say 'That's a ministry worker', you might get on his good side by 'proving' you aren't on ours."

Blackstone didn't know much about muggle things, but one thing he did enjoy was their notion of 'moving pictures'. He watched far too many of them.

"And, actually, I was also considering 'tracking him down' as you said, Misha." he added. "The point is we can either convince him we're friends and potential customers, or we can do our own research and force it out."

And before he knew it, Blackstone had given another long-winded speech. Why did he do that????

OOC: Can we try to finish the car dealer plot as quickly as possible? We're a tad... well, very behind schedule
