Right in front of the door hangs the sign for the Gobstones Club. This clearly means that this was the office of the Gobstones Club employees. The room is filled with lots of Gobstones-related posters and pictures. These posters included Gobstones teams and some of the star players for the said sport. Employees in here work for hours, pretty hardworking they are. This part of the department is divided into two: Gobstones Public Relations and Gobstones Administration.

Aedan adjusted his best suit he could find in his closet (which was his only suit). He wasn't the person to wear suits or even robes. He preferred Muggle clothes, they were comfortable and so much easier to walk around with.

But since that this his first work day, he didn't want to look sleazy. He brushed his hand through his hair as he held a tiny mirror, not bigger than his hand , and looked in it too see the effect. When he was satisfied with his hairstyle he nervously stepped closer to his new job. Aedan was always nervous when new things came. And getting a job wasn't something little!

He stood in front of the oak door and breathed in deeply, wondering wether to knock first or just go in? He decided on the first one and knocked on the door. No response. He knocked again but again not a sound from the other side. He frowned, he was at the right place right? He looked at the acceptance letter that he had taken out of his pocket and read it. Yes, this was the right place... should he take a look?

Carefully, as though scared the door would creak loudly, he opened the door. He popped his head through the opening and looked around. Well, this is the right place for sure. He said to himself as he noticed the many posters on the walls. He opened the door further and stepped inside the room. The door fell closed behind him and he looked around again, wondering which cubicle would be his and where everyone else was?

Florence arrived at the Ministry early that day. She was so nervous about her first day, she definitely did NOT want to be late. As she made her way to Level 7, she started getting anxious. Will anyone like me? Will I have friends? Oh goodness, what if they hate my robes?! She really needed to stop worrying so much. Especially since she's in the Public Relations Office of the Gobstones Club.

As the elevator doors clanged open at the Magical Games & Sports floor, she stepped out, and saw a man looking rather hesitant. She saw him knock a few times, then finally pop his head in the door. He walked in altogether a moment later, so Florence followed suit.

She stepped into the office, and said "Hi! I'm Florence! What's your name?"

Aedan jumped when out of nowhere , a woman had appeared behind him. Where did she come from?! Oh right..the door..He slowly turned around when the voice sounded cheerfully, like it was ready to do some work! And not to mention that the voice was a womans voice....hehe..

Aedan turned around swiftly on his heels. He smiled at the young woman and bowed. "Nice to meet you, Miss. I'm Aedan Katharos" he stood upright again and looked behind him. "I thought i would be the only one here..." He then looked at her robes, hmm so she was the robe type. Aedan didn't like robes..nor suits , yet he was wearing one. If he had to choose he would pick a suit over a robe anyways. "Are you a new employee?" he asked as he looked at the woman.

Wow, what a gentleman! thought Florence. She was glad to meet someone so friendly already. She wasn't sure how her first day was going to go, but it was looking bright. "Funny, I thought I would be the only one also. And yes, I'm new. I'm rather nervous if you can't tell already..." Florence trailed off. Gosh, he must think I'm psycho, just blabbering and all.

He had a rather calculating look on his face, almost as if he were sizing her up. But surely not, he was so kind! There you go again Flo, over-analyzing every situation, she thought to herself. She was in for a long day.

Marie had been very busy and didn't realise that she had her Job Assignment still left to do. She had to mail it out to all of the clubs.

She went over to her desk and found the book which had a lime green cover. She read through and got out her wand.

She looked for a list of clubs and started writing them down so she could send them out.

After hanging around in the Game Room for a while, Florence decided it was time to head back to her office. She still needed to start on her assignment for Mr. Vindictus. She looked through the folder, and saw she needed to organize a photo shoot. Well, it sounded easy enough.

She began taking notes about the different clubs and whatnot, that way she could notify everyone of the shoot.

Dimitri had sat down he had just looked at his job. He had to check the expiration dates of all current referees, and then send out notifications to those whose licenses expire in 6 months. Ahh how lucky he was. He looked over at Marie and then Florence, the two were of course just now starting on her job just like him...He picked up the paperwork and leaned back in his chair.

Marie had been working on sending out the latest rule book to all of the Clubs. It had many rules which featured what was expected and what was not expected to do.

She read over it and continue to write some more before posting it out.

Rex walked into the work area and saw a few of the employees at work. "How are the reports coming along?" he asked.

"The reports are going well. I think mine should be done soon, hopefully", said Marie smiling at Rex. She just needed to work a bit harder.

Dimitri looked up and said There going great.. He had it pretty much finished but not completley...

"Going great. Okay," Rex replied and wondered what that meant. Anyhow, there was something important happening and he wanted the entire department there. "There's an emergency meeting about to happen in the conference room. I want to see everyone there."

It wasn't a request - it was an order.

He didn't wait for anyone to ask him what was going on. Rex simply turned on his heel and left the Gobstones Office.

Joseph went into the office. He was so nervous!

A memo in the shape of a paper airplane zoomed into the office and immediately multiplied into several dozen fliers that landed neatly upon each employee's desk.

A light blue memo in the shape of a paper airplane zoomed into the office and unfolded itself for everyone to read. But this was no regular Ministry memo; as soon as the memo was fully unfolded, the voice of Rex Vindictus echoed through the room:

Oh. Her first assignment. Saxon picked up the small paper airplane that had landed in her office. As she read it her first assignment said that she needed to create five slogans and make the best one the official one to use. Seeing as it was her first day there she wanted some help with this job, or get personal feedback from someone in the department. She awkwardly sat in her seat not knowing where to go. Well, she better make herself useful. The least she did was grab a piece of paper and a pen-she liked using pens more than feathers and began to walk around until she found someone to work with.

Arielle was writing away when she noticed the flyer of things needing to be done. The lab seemed a bit fun. She could use some hands on things, but first she needed to see what needed to get done first. She took a sip of her drink and began writing away.

Saxon was sitting on her seat on her little desk a bit lost for what to do. She checked around her close parameter and saw that no one was too near. With a little playful smile she began to swivel around in her chair. More looking around, she kicked her feet off the ground and began to do a little dance jig on her chair as it spun around. As she was spinning around something poked her in the chest. Slowly gaining back her balance she opened her eyes and opened the blue paper airplane.

She had to create five slogans and turn the best one in. With one more stare across the room she grabbed a pen and tried to look casual, or professional. At least the Head of the department hadn't been nearby.

Rex popped his head into the office. "Don't mean to disturb, but how are the slogans coming along?"

Saxon immediately stopped goofing around. Her face went blank and she felt herself seem terrified. She had to act more her age, responsible and less of a little kid. Having a reputation for spinning chairs in the ministry would not do her any good. Slowly in her chair she turned around and stared up department head. "Sir, I was wondering if you could assist me with the first slogan? Just to get a feel for it and see what types of requirements or what type of advertising you wanna go for." She asked him.

"Of course, I'll offer some suggestions," Rex replied as he walked over to Saxon's desk. "Whatever we come up with, we need to remember that the folks who love Gobstones hate it when we call the Gobs 'marbles'."

Yes, it was a bad joke but he was telling the truth.

Saxon was slightly shocked that people didn't like hearing the gobs as marbles. Being wizard and witches and seeing as gobstones was more of a wizarding game they probably didn't want to be associated with muggles in this manner. "So they call the gobs 'gobs' or 'stones'?" That part was confusing her a bit. "Is this a universal sport? Because if it is I can try to go for a broader slogan that can relate to all countries so that it appeals to people from all places wanting to play it." She said with a little nod.

The bigger the crowd the faster the movement of word the sport gets the more people look into it and hopefully will consider playing this.

Harvey hobbled his way through the department in search of his boss. Mr.Vindictus wasn't in his office, in the game room, why couldn't he just be nearby all this walking around really bothered his leg.
Harvey just wanted to flop down on the floor sit there to rest it until someone came by to assist him back up. Instead he made his way to the Gobstones Club. It was here that he overheard two people talking one of which was finally Rex Vindictus.

He stopped in front of the two and waited for the young lady to finish speaking. There was no need to interupt a lady, none at all. Harvey nodded hi head in the direction of his boss. Waiting for the two of them to finish up actually gave him some time to figure out whether to tell Rex if the news he had was good or bad.

Victoria entered the Gobstone offices. She had never really been in here, but today was a special day. Very special and she was on a mission to see a very special person. Feeling a bit awkward with Chocolate Chip Cookies and Balloons. She hoped people wouldn't think she was a bit nuts, but even if they did she didn't care. She wanted to surprise her boyfriend and as soon as she found him she would.

Looking around she realized she didn't even know where his desk was. Should she ask someone if they could point her in the right direction. Just as she was about to turn to a coworker she spotted the handsome man up ahead. Walking a bit closer, "Hey I heard some attractive man in this department was having a Birthday." She leaned up giving him a quick kiss before glancing around. "How has your day been so far? These are for you of course." She smiled as she handed over the cookies and the balloons. "Happy Birthday by the way."
