The Main Buffet
 
The Main Buffet

Here is it folks, the big kahuna! The line out the door was definitely worth the wait once you reach the queue leading to the Main Buffet section of the food court. Tray after tray of steaming dishes and cooled tables of salad wait for all you hungry workers. There's plenty of it to go around, too, so don't you worry. Keep in mind what you might want, because there are far too many choices to make it a last minute affair. Now what will it be, the Caesar Salad....or the steak and kidney pie? Eat up!

THIS. WAS. IT.

Mason was so ecstatic. The Food Court was finally open! And even though he wasn't even the Food Court supervisor, he was proud of all the hard work that had been done to get this place up and running. It was a lot of work and it was finally done. The Food Court was going to be a big hit; he could tell already.

Even though he no one was there yet. But he was sure they'd show up soon.

Mason stood there in his new suit, waiting for people to try out the new food buffets. He was eyeing the fettuccine already. It looked delicious. As did most of the food. Come oooon, people! It's food court time!

Getting paid to play with a Time Turner and eat food all day long? Sherman's life was the BEST.

The elderly man wheeled into the Buffet section of the new Food Court and gaped in awe. It was so big. And clean. And it smelled so scrumptious! His nose wiggled in delight as he stared at all the food before him. He steered his wheelchair in every direction, wandering around until he reached the steaming Beef Stew.. This place had stew? YUMMEH.

After helping himself to the chunky soup, Sherman headed over to the smaller tables and got himself a serving of fruit salad as well. The crippled man pulled the due seventeen sickles and and eight nuts out of his pocket and paid. The scent of the food and his hungry stomach made him want to stay right there in the Buffet area and eat. But there was an official-looking young man nearby, who Sherman could have so taken right there and then so he decided not to.

BUT IT SMELLED SO GOOOOOOD.

melanie walked quickly into the new food court that had re opened. She was slightly embarrassed that as one of the food court supervisors, she hadn't been able to stay and help out after her unexpected leave to visit on of her relatives, but here she was now, ready to help out. Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the doors to reveal the interior that the team had built.

WOW.

It was absolutely stunning. She opened her mouth in shock. Melanie could see the dessert table and the buffet table laid out before her with food that wafted towards her nose. It was impressive, she had to say that. The team did an absolutely amazing job making it look so welcoming for the employees. Maybe now it was time to help out the guests? She quickly scanned the room and found an elderly man that had just seated himself in one of the comfy chairs. Would he need some help or maybe she should just ask him how he is liking the food court so far. She walked over to the man, putting a smile on her face and sat down across from him."Hello, sir, I see you've got a nice bowl of stew there. It smells absolutely delicious! I'm one of the food court supervisors and would like to see what the employees think of it."

Heather walked into the food court and stopped to stare. Yes, STARE.

Finally. She didn't have to leave the ministry and walk into the muggle restaurants. No, she just had to take the lift right to the Atrium and then come here for break. She walked up to the buffet and stared at the items offered. Ooooh, a Cesar Salad. Yum! The lettuce looked nice and green. Croutons looking crunchy. Yes, this was the salad for her.

Moving on she found some roasted potatoes and then moved right up to pay her 17 sickles and 8 knuts for everything. She moved away from the buffet and headed to find a seat. Yes, this was nice.

OOC: Just so you know, Sherman is in a wheelchair, so he's not at a table yet (:

Sherman was just about to wheel over to the seating area when a lady appeared in front of him and sat down. And his day was going so well.. but. He couldn't talk to her or anything, since she wasn't a child or an old crone. She was a young woman. The old man tried to keep himself from wheeling away from or and screaming in terror as the lady started to ask him questions. BUT. She wanted to see what he thought of his food.. so he was allowed to eat it in the Buffet area?! BEAM. Maybe not all scary ladies brought bad things along with 'em.

Ignoring his fruit salad, Sherman shoved a heaping spoonful of stew into his mouth. HOT. Hot, hot, hot! But it was good. He shoveled more of the chunky soup into his mouth. It started to dribble down his chin, so the old man cleaned his face up and then looked at the pretty lady. He couldn't talk to women, so he just grinned, with the stew still in his mouth, and then gave her a thumbs up. And then a salute.

That was pretty understandable, right?

Divinity straightened her apron and pulled on her gloves and got right up to where the buffet was set up... Checking each item in case it needed refilling...

oh its Erik ok 07-10-2012 01:36 AM

Demetrius wanted to see what the deal was about this new food court and of course see if it had any good food. He did not want this trip up to the Atrium to be a waste of time. Demetrius hated wasting time, especially when he could be working on something important with Nero. But since it was his break he decided to spend it in the new food court.

He looked over the menu and spotted that there was a Dragon's Breath Soup and it was spicy. Perfect, Demetrius loved spicy food. He took a bowl, paid the 16 sickles and 25 knuts, and gave the coupon for a free drink. Which of course was some firewhiskey.

Now all he had to do was find an empty place to sit.

DaniDiNardo 07-10-2012 02:33 PM

Ooooo, just what Dia needed; something new. Stepping into the foodcourt she was instantly stunned. This place was awesome and it now meant a shorter dsitance to full her stomach on those long days. This, she could get use to. What made it even better was just how good the food looked and smelt. Let's see...what would she try first.

O_________O how terrible would it have been if she took a bit of everything...? Resisting that spout of curiosity to try everything she settled on the chicken parmesan and handed over 16 sickles, 25 knuts; that would have to do.

With all these people already here she thought it would have been the perfect opportunity to smuggle in some 'lunch' conversation. What could she say? She liked meeting new people. Hmmm...where to sit...?

Vinnie smiled at the man acrossed the counter. She punched his meal and the coupon into the register and Took his money. " One moment while I get that firewhiskey for you, Sir." sha said before turning and getting out a cup and put two cubes of ice and poured out his beverage. " There you are ,Sir, and here's your tray..." she smiled as she slid a tray in front of him.

The next customer was a young woman that looked a bit indecisive.... Finally she gave her order as Vinnie pounched it into her register, " That'll be 16 sickles and 25 knuts, please." she said with a friendly smile. " You sure you don't want a drink... We've got extra coupons if you haven't one..." She always tried to help everyone out and she didn't see it any differently at work.

Mason saw an elderly man wheel himself into the food court. He couldn't help but watch him out of the corner of his eye as he went around to all the different foods. He looked like he was enjoying himself.

After he paid, Mason decided to strike up a conversation. He seemed like a nice old guy. "That looks like some good stew you got there. You'll have to tell me how it is so I can get some for myself." 'Cause it seriously looked and smelled delicious.

Oh she hadn't even remembered about that. Hmm...something to drink. Well she had already kept the woman waiting for quite sometime so she didn't want to stall any longer...but there were just sooo many more choices. No, she couldn't waste away her lunch hour deciding on a drink. With a sigh her mind was made up. "I'd like a lemonade if you have any." That would have been the best choice, nothing too over the top to have her buzzing all over later on.

Vinnie smiled back at the young woman, " We do in fact have lemonade..... I'll just use the coupon for the free beverage for you.... Grand opening promotion... " she said with a small flourish of the coupon as she put it in the drawer of the register... Then turned to get the lemonade... " There you are, Ma'am.... You have a good day and be sure and tell your coworkers we're open and ready for business."

Another person telling him to eat the food? WOW. His day was getting better and better.

Sherman nodded eagerly and then gulped down a steaming spoonful. "Itsf good. Weal tasfy." Yeahh. That talking-with-food-in-mouth-thing wasn't working. =w= After swallowing the stew in his mouth, the elderly man looked up at the younger one and tried again. "I mean it's good. And real tasty." Nomnomnomnomnom. "You should get some! Or some of that fettuccine over there. I was going to buy that instead, but it feels kind of like a soup-y day," he stated while skewering a piece of fruit. Hmm. He decided that he might just sped more time in the Food Court then at Mysteries. it wall a lot tastier here.

After waiting on the young woman Divinity saw an older gentleman scanning the fair along the buffet... " Hello, sir.... Might I be of any assistance... We've got a coupon for a free beverage with a meal purchase...." she said with a friendly smile...She always loved working amogst people. Maybe this position isn't so bad afterall... She thought to herself as she approached the Elder man.

And just because they were married now she wasn't going to be telling him any of those secrets. She was distracted by those thoughts by hearing his stomach rumble. Oh boy. He was hungry wasn't he? Izzy just laughed. That was just Wesley all over.

"Lets!" Because well. She was pretty hungry too.

Hahaha. Wes nearly rolled his eyes at that one but he was too distracted by the yummy food smells and cafeteria sounds. Putting his hand on Iz's back, Wes led the way over to the buffet and immediately went for the 10 sickle menu. Bacon sandwiches? Heck to the yes!

He handed Izzy a plate and gestured for her to go ahead of him. If he went first, there'd be no food left.

Divinity saw a young couple heading toward the main buffet. She put on her warmest friendly smile, " Hello there... Welcome to our new food court... Just wanted to let you know about our coupons that are available... They entitle you to a free beverage with any meal purchase... I'm Vinnie. Let me know if I could be of any assistance..." she said warmly.

Why couldn't it ever be a guy that walked up to Sherman and talked? D:

Of course, Sherman couldn't talk to the lady. Why did people think old men could talk to young ladies? It didn't work that way. 'Specially when the old man was afraid of most women. The old man turned to the lady who had spoken to him and gave her a salute. "Err.. h-hi." He managed to squeak. Was that good enough? "I d-don't think I n-need any help, th-thanks." Did he really look that incapapable of things? Blush. "But I'll d-definitely take that.. err.. coupon, yeah?" YEAHH. Free stuff. Old guys liked free stuff.

Vinnie still smiling handed the gentleman a coupon... " You have a nice day, Sir. Do let me know if I could get you anything... " She was raised to respect her elders... Especially cute little old men... She smiled to herself at memories of her grandfather...

Sherman gladly took the coupon. YEAH. He was going to go get himself a juice now! Food courts were the best things ever invented, yeah? "Th-thank 'ya, ma'am!" he said. "You, too." Eating time. WOOT.

Isobel just had a small smirk on her face as she watched him. The food was distracting him. Oh she knew her husband far too well. Smiling now, she allowed him to lead her over to one of the bars. Mmm. Food. She glanced up at him, before going first. There must have been a reason for that. Now she just needed to decide what she wanted. "Lots of choice..." She mused with a nod.

Now she just needed to decide what to have. Mmm. Could she have the bacon sandwich and the chicken wrap? She was feeling quite hungry today. Deciding that was okay, she grabbed one of each, before looking up to have a see how he reacted.

BanaBatGirl 07-19-2012 04:46 AM

"young couple" LOL Wes finds this humorous :D

"Grunt," was how Wesley replied to the friendly food court worker. No offense to the lady, but he really wasn't one that should be talked to while he was on the prowl for foods. "Got a coupon," Wes added after about a minute, tearing his gaze away from the scrumptious selections to float the one he'd picked up from the 'hangout' toward the worker. "Got one for her too."

He nudged his head toward Izzy, who was in front of him. Cuz, you know, he was payin' for the lunch.

"You can have more than that," Wes encouraged, piling some cornish pasties onto his plate as well, "I mean, it's a buffet, right? Get as much as you can eat? That sort of thing?"

This food court was going to prove to be baaaaad for his waistline. Probably.

Isobel eyed her husband as he talked to the nice lady who was attempting to help them. "Be polite." Come on Wesley. You can do it. She just gave him a look, and returned to looking at the food. And now he was telling her to eat more? "I know how buffets work Wes..." She mused, grinning at him. She really did.

Mmm. Potatoes. Moving up a little, she placed some onto her plate, then watching him pile food onto his own plate. "Not watching your weight then babe?" She smirked at him. She knew he had a big appetite though, and she was only joking of course.

Polite. Right. Grunt. Polite wasn't really in Wesley's vocabulary. He shook his head and just added a few more things to his plate. "I get my work out in chasing bad guys around, darling, you know that."

Speaking of bad guys... well perhaps this food assistant wasn't so bad. Then again, Wes WAS mighty suspicious of how the food court employee knew he had special dietary needs. Hmmmmmm.

"Do you have any steak, miss?" he inquired as POLITELY as possible. "Any raw rare steak?"

RachieRu 07-26-2012 07:21 PM

Isobel just shook her head. "Don't I know it sweetie." It was how they had met after all. "But you are sat on your bum for most of the day now....so be careful." She just smirked at him, before mooching up the buffet, and placing some more food onto her plate. She was just joking of course. She loved Wesley just the way he was, even if he put a couple more pounds on. And now he was being polite to the lady.

"Better." She nodded with a smile, as she came to stand by him again. Mmm. Steak. "I'll have some of that as well." She nodded with a smile. It sounded yummy.

He sat on his BUM all day NOW?! "Well excuse me, Ms. Mysteries," Wes grumbled at his wife, "but maybe you've forgotten what a BUSY department looks like. We don't ALL sit on our bums all day." Granted, being in charge of everyone DID mean sitting down to do paperwork more often than not... but Wes was STILL a little miffed/offended at Izzy pointing it out like that.

Joking or not. He stepped to the end of the buffet with his loaded plate in hand, raising an eyebrow at Izzy and then turning to the food court assistant. "She doesn't want anything rare, not really. She always takes her meat medium-well."

Silly Izzy. Rare meat was for werewolves Wesleys!

"I think you'll find I'm a Mrs actually..." Isobel just smirked at him. She was his Mrs, so he hopefully already knew that. "And darling I do know what a busy department is. It's so busy looking all those secrets." That she hadn't told him. That she'd probably never tell him. Holding her plate in one hand, Isobel rested the other on his back, rubbing it affectionately. "I know you don't sit on your bum all day really sweetheart." Just incase he hadn't thought so.

Oh. So she didn't want rare meat. Hmm. She supposed he was right. She just smiled at him. "Yeah...what he said." She couldn't work out why she would've wanted her meat rare. Hmm. Weird.

I'm going to move the RP on like we got our food stuff and paid? hope that's okay!

"Touche," Wes mimicked a shot to his heart and leaned in for a kiss to her. "Yes, Isobel, you and your secrets. I know. Or don't know, actually... so let's go sit on our bums, shall we?"

He smiled much more politely at the food court attendant and then doled out the appropriate amount of money for the meal. "Pick us out a nice place to eat, dear."

Kyleigh hadn't all together known what she really wanted to eat. Everything looked so good - and the fact she had depraved herself for far to long with not getting lunch she just groaned her stomach gurgled in response. She pulled her tray along as she filled it with all the delicious foods she wanted to eat today.

Which wasn't much for today.

She chewed the edge of her lip as she decided what she wanted.

Maybe something warm - she knew she wanted a hot drink...so why not just a nice cool salad? She had no idea still as she scanned the buffet table. FINALLY something looked good.

She piled a ham and cheese sandwich onto her tray along with a fruit salad. There, taking the coupon from the teller as she paid she looked around for the next table...drinks...and maybe, maybe she'd come and get something else? She wondered as her stomach rumbled once more.

"HELLO EVERYONE!" Ian said coming it with Level One's staff in toe, "I AM IAN AMOROSO, THE NEW SENIOR UNDERSECRETARY!!!" He said and continued his conga line into the Food Court. "LUNCH IS ON ME TODAY!!!"

Apparently they were heading to the food court. Finally reaching the Main Buffet the line slowed down a bit and Victoria got to catch her breath. Wow, so unexpected that the welcoming thing would be turned into a party first among level-one's employees then it developed to be a conga line towards the food court where it's also turned into a party for all levels' employees.

And what did he say? Lunch's on him? Victoria was glad she didn't had breakfast today. She withdrew from the line and stood watching the beautiful and energetic scene.

kayquilz 09-12-2012 12:28 AM

Kensi...just wanted some food, ya' know? Like she got hungry.....like three times a day. it's somewhat normal, ya' know? So the redhead made her way down to the buffet...she hadn't been feeling herself lately..

She stopped, her mouth gaping...when this new undersecretary said he would buy lunch....for everyone! "Are you serious, sir?" she asked, quite perplexed...this was odd. Well, free food was free food, riiight?!

She glanced at the other woman..."Hi there..." she said politely...you know, Kensi was just full of niceties...yep...not feisty at all...

sarahlooo 09-12-2012 12:44 AM

Stomach growling, Ella entered the food court and headed for the main buffet. But as soon as she got there, she saw the most... interesting scene. Was that the Senior Undersecretary? At the head of a conga line? In any other case, she probably would have just politely ignored him and go on her way, but he offered FREE lunch so she couldn't complain.

Ella saw one of the women she met before looking a little confused as well and walked up next to her. Oh and another woman was there too. "Looks like today is our lucky day." Because who didn't like free food? Ella grabbed a plate and looked over all the food. It kinda seemed like a soup day...

Kensi whipped around, saw Ella, and smiled. "Oh, hello..Ella?" right. she knew it was Ella. totally...

She saw her grab a plate, and she, too, took one...hmm...."Yeah, and since I'm absolutely star--" but she suddenly stopped midsentence...and a glazed looked came over her face...she seemed to even be drooling...somewhat. Her mouth closed, and she looked blankly on....unseeing...

the fastest seeker 09-12-2012 01:01 AM

You two. ^_^
 
Victoria stood watching the Conga thing that was still on. She made sure to get further away from anyone's range so she won't be dragged back to the dance. A big grin was on her face when she noticed two women come closer. They weren't from Level-one so Victoria supposed that the scene must be awkward for them. You know walking into the Main Buffet and finding a Conga line of ...employees and the new undersecretary.

She nodded at both of them, "Hello," She greeted them. "Oh it is, we must take advantage of it," She replied on the woman's comment of this day being one lucky day. "I'm Victoria Smith by the way," She introduced herself. Might as well mingle with other levels' employees considering she doesn't get to do that much. "I'm a secretary at the front Desk," She added. If they ever dropped by Level-one they would recognize her.

Lunch was on him? That suddenly made the Conga Line slightly worth it. Because Skander was hungry, but still, it didn't change his opinion on the man's sanity. Or lack thereof. And he was beginning to think that if anything his opinion on that would only be reinforced as time went on.

Still, free food was totally worth it.

Kensington still looked quite glazed, but then suddenly she cam to her senses and continued like she had never...gone out of focus. "Wh-what? What did you say?" she asked, since the woman was looking at her...and had just finished talking and all...but Kensi didn't remember her saying anything...or she had, she just...didn't process it...

She was confused.

And her mouth was all full of drool, so she wiped it quickly on her sleeve...EW.

Victoria raised an eyebrow at the woman who seemed to be glazed. The blonde secretary stepped closer to the other petrified woman, "I SAID I'M VICTORIA!" she repeated. Maybe she wasn't heard because of the noise? Or the woman......was drooling over food? Could it be. "You know I was trying to introduce myself. But what are you looking at?" Victoria stood next to the woman and tried to look were she was looking. Nothing, other than the dancing lot. "I said I work at Level-one front desk, yourself?" Victoria said still squinting her eyes at what was supposed to be there and caused the woman to freeze. Though she found nothing interesting. "What are we looking at again?" Victoria finally asked curiously turning to the woman.

Kensi took a step back..."Why are you yelling...?" she asked, confused. The redhead didn't appreciate it AT ALL! Hmmmph! "But anyways...yeah, hi, Victoria...I'm Kensington. But please...please, I beg you, just call me Kensi," she said with a fake whine...and a laugh. Her annoyance evaporated...since, you know, she had to make friends. Since she was still pretty much...friendless here in England.

And...oh. "I am a Patrol Officer...for the MLE's..." and why was this woman squinting so furiously...at the conga line? IT was just plain OODDDD!

Whaaa? "I wasn't...looking at...anything..." she said, raising an eyebrow...this lady was being all loopy! "Are you sure you're--"

But then it came again...the glazed look...her eyes lost focus immediately, and she opened her mouth...drool began to form, and then slowly it dripped...

Ew.

sarahlooo 09-12-2012 02:34 AM

Kensi and Victoria ^_^
 
Ella smiled and nodded at Kensi. "Yes, it's good to see you again." And she was proud of herself for remembering who she was. Turning towards the other woman, Ella recognized her. "Oh, that's right. I remember you now." She was one of the first-to-see faces once you got on level one, after all.

Inspecting the food as Kensi spoke, she particularly eyed the chicken. That looked delicious. But then she noticed Kensi stopped talking mid-sentence. Ella looked over at her just as the woman began... drooling? Ella looked away so she could wipe her mouth and not get embarrassed, but... how embarrassing.

Even after Victoria's shouting and repeated questions, Kensi seemed to be acting oddly. More drooling... more staring blankly... Slightly worried and rather perplexed, Ella put a gentle hand on Kensi's shoulder. "Are you okay..?" Because drooling his much wasn't exactly... normal. And neither was stopping in the middle of all of her sentences.

Kensi suddenly wiped her mouth quickly, and turned to Ella...why did she look so weird?

The redhead smiled over at Ella...she had been so nice! "Yeah...you too! I am proud of myself for remembering your name as well..." she admitted with a giggle.

Was she okay? "Um..yeah...why wouldn't I be?" she asked, but as soon as she said this, her stomach lurched. She clutched it, suddenly, an felt like she may be siiiick..."Actuaaaaally..." the blank look crossed her face again..."Iiss feelzy siii-" she said, barely understandable. Her voice sounded like a zombie. And the drool...it could fill buckets!

Slightly worried and rather perplexed, Ella put a gentle hand on Kensi's shoulder. "Are you okay..?" Because drooling his much wasn't exactly... normal. And neither was stopping in the middle of all of her sentences.

Well, she was yelling in order to be heard and actually it wasn't really shouting it was speaking loudly and that was absolutely different. "Nice to meet you Kensi," Victoria grinned at her. She would simply call her kensi without the begging you know. She just had to ask. And she is an MLE employee. Victoria have been meeting quite few of them lately. Not that it was bothering her ,she always likes meeting new people . But she was curious why most of them are MLE employees.

And she wasn't looking at anything. Victoria shrugged, "Well, you seemed to be staring weirdly at something." And that was the nicest way Victoria could put it.

Turning to the other woman who was also curious about the drooling, Victoria nodded, "Oh you've been to our office." Victoria tried to remember her name but she couldn't. It is pretty hard when seeing so many faces aday you don't get to memorize them all. "Do you work in the Magical Law Enforcement too?" She asked perhaps she and Kensi work together.

Then Kensi started to act weirdly again. Victoria looked at her concerned, "Um….here that should help," Victoria handed her a handkerchief. Well, it wouldn't stop the drooling but it would help not to ,you know, make a lake. "Does this happen regularly to you?" She couldn't help but ask.

Kensi was still a bit...dazed. She couldn't sense anything..her gaze just went on and on...and the drool was getting a bit obnoxious now. But she heard Victoria speak, and she seemed to snap out of it...she quickly grabbed the cloth and wiped her mouth..."This is gross..." her stomach turned over, and she gagged a bit..."OH my....I really don't feel well at all...." She said, her voice hoarse.

Seemed to be staring at something? Kensi was confused...."Really? I thought I was looking at you the whole time..." she said, and her hands were now a bit shaky; the plate she was holding could attest to that.

Does this happen regularly?! "No! I d-d-don't know what's wrong!" she said, her stomach again feeling like it might PUKE. AAaaaahhh!

Suddenly, her gaze went away again, she stared blankly at Victoria, this time. The handkerchief she was holding up to her mouth fell as her hands began to shake...and the plate went crashing to the ground, breaking. She then came back into focus and leaned on the wall...awaaaay from the counter...she put one hand on her stomach and one on her head...she felt severely ill..."I th-th-think I might THROW UP!" she said suddenly, as her stomach felt soooo terrible. She lost focus again, and she seemed to be staring at nothing...she wasn't blinking...

Victoria nodded automatically when Kensi commented that this was gross but then she stopped noticing that it was rude. The woman didn't seem to be intending to drool and then again who would intend that. So Victoria started to get convinced that there was something wrong though she couldn't make it up. BUT SHE WILL! Hopefully.

"No actually you were looking in that direction," Victoria said pointing her arm. "And you know looking at me doesn't cause people to drool despite how pretty I am," Victoria giggled then she trailed off....ehhh probably not a very good time to joke,no? Clearing her throat Victoria tried to compose her face, they were serious here. Someone was drooling and glazing for no reason. "I don't know why you were looking in the direction I tried to spot something out of the ordinary but I didn't," She paused cracking up in a smile, "You know unless you were drooling over that cute guy because he ....." Trailing off again. Honestly Jokes only come to her at the worst times don't they.

That was so inconsiderate for the other's woman condition, "Maybe you should take a seat, "Victoria suggested. "And perhaps have something to eat so....you know...." Your drool will be used by something? Oh she wasn't going to say that out loud. Not that rude she was.

Kensi glanced in the direction that she was pointing...she was completely confused..."I don't...remember...ever looking in that direction," she muttered, absolutely perplexed!

The nice Victoria lady cracked a joke, which made Kensi laugh, but then she instantly regretted this...because she had to instantly cover her mouth in order to not TOTALLY PUKE EVERYWHERE.

So she DID take a seat, and she put both of her hands over her churning stomach...'Man...it feels like I have food poisoning...but I barely ate y-y-yesterdaaaa-" she immediately began to convulse, and while in the middle of this, her eyes glazed over, once again...only this time, she didn't immediately snap out of it...

"Get meeeeee waaaa-" she seemed to be saying something, her eyes were still out of focus, and her mouth was drooling badly now. "waaateeeeer...."

She wanted...water?

Victoria was really concerned about this whole thing. Though it might not have been clear with the joking and stuff but usually feelings don't appear clearly on her face. Oh and Kensi laughed! Good. Though it wasn't so...dry but Victoria appreciated it.

Food poisoning? Victoria's eyebrows creased ,"Umm...do you remember eating something from somewhere you're not sure about its safety?" She asked. Though it had to be sometime near.

The blonde secretary looked around her, would there be a healer here? Or it didn't requite healers yet. Oh sure it did! The woman seemed to be convulsing and her eyes...

Water! Victoria nodded at Kensi, "Ok I'll get you water!" Victoria strode towards one of the tables and grabbed a glass. On her way back to Kensi she remembered that she didn't fill it with water. As she got back to Kensi she dug her wand out of her purse and murmurer the spell none-verbally. Once the glass was full of water she handed it to Kensi, "Here you go." Will she feel any better?

Kensi shook her head..."No. I haven't eaten all day. And yesterday either...just a few meals at home. I don't think I poisoned myself..." the American said, her raspy voice sounding increasingly alarmed.

WHAT WAS WRONG?!!

And then her glaze came over, again, and Kensi began to drool...and when the glass of water made that CLANK noise as Victoria set it down in front of her, Kensi seemed to snap out of it. But almost immediately, as she took a sip of water, her daze returned. She continued to drink, like a zombie, and finished the entire glass quicker than usual.

She then felt her stomach churning, and her focus returned..."Oh no-" but it was too late to make a run for it. So she ducked her head under the booth, and BLLEEGGGHHH!

Ew.

Kensi couldn't beleive she had been sick...in public...in front of a woman she barely knew...she was highly embarrassed. And you know how usually after you VOMIT you feel better? Kensi felt worse. She groaned and cried, "I need some napkins!" she said, her head still under the table...

Randomly jumps in...Please grab her.
 
The beauty of working on one of the upper levels was that you heard or got news from other departments about what was going on in the building as it took place. Natasha had been reading up on a new prospect land which might be a good place to build a new magical community. Her train of thought was though interrupted by loud singing and what seemed like a hundred feet moving.

Was there a fire somewhere? She hadn't heard any alarm. Confused the blond left her level 3 cubicle and wandered out onto the landing between departments where she perplexedly watched a conga line of Ministers office employees walk past.

Not knowing why Natasha followed the conga line but at a safe distance all the way down to the atrium. Hearing the senior secretary's hard to miss voice announce free lunch she thought, why not she was hungry.

Heading towards the big buffet table she passed two women (kayquilz) and (the fastest seeker) where at least one of the women looked pretty green in the face. It was probably just due to one of the usual ministry bugs which periodically spread around the levels. The last flu bug had been nasty but Tasha had luckily not attracted it. Taking a plate she started to shuffle a little bit of everything onto her plate.

WHAT WAS WRONG?!!

And then her glaze came over, again, and Kensi began to drool...and when the glass of water made that CLANK noise as Victoria set it down in front of her, Kensi seemed to snap out of it. But almost immediately, as she took a sip of water, her daze returned. She continued to drink, like a zombie, and finished the entire glass quicker than usual.

She then felt her stomach churning, and her focus returned..."Oh no-" but it was too late to make a run for it. So she ducked her head under the booth, and BLLEEGGGHHH!

Ew.

Kensi couldn't beleive she had been sick...in public...in front of a woman she barely knew...she was highly embarrassed. And you know how usually after you VOMIT you feel better? Kensi felt worse. She groaned and cried, "I need some napkins!" she said, her head still under the table...

EwewewewEEEWWW!



So she wasn't poisoned. Then what? The secretary didn't have any idea. Victoria watched Kensi drinking the water and she seemed to be getting better? Or Victoria wanted to see this perhaps. Just when Victoria was glad that Kensi seemed to be better the woman ducked her head down and .................

Victoria fought the urge not to run away, she couldn't just leave the woman sick here alone. Though no one will blame her if she flee but no! She wasn't bailing on a sick person! However, she took a step back just so her newly-bought shoes won't be affected. But she made sure to pat on Kensi's shoulder just to let the woman feel that she wasn't aloneyet.

After Kensi seemed to finish...her business Victoria stepped closer again. "Are you feeling any better?" She asked in a concerned voice. Napkins! Victoria fished one out of her purse but the woman surely wanted more. That's when Victoria started to look around her.

Not knowing why Natasha followed the conga line but at a safe distance all the way down to the atrium. Hearing the senior secretary's hard to miss voice announce free lunch she thought, why not she was hungry.

Heading towards the big buffet table she passed two women (kayquilz) and (the fastest seeker) where at least one of the women looked pretty green in the face. It was probably just due to one of the usual ministry bugs which periodically spread around the levels. The last flu bug had been nasty but Tasha had luckily not attracted it.

Standing near was a woman holding her plate. Victoria walked towards her in wide steps, "EXCUSE ME!" Ermm...Why was she shouting? "Ahem, I mean excuse me," Better. "Do you happen to have some extra napkins with you?" Victoria asked. Please say you do! "We're having a little situation," She said pointing over her shoulder to where Kensi slouched down on the seat.

Victoria looked down at the woman's plate and remembered that they were here to eat free food! Darn! Hopefully Kensi will feel better and they'd be able to eat. How selfish! Victoria's conscience snapped at her. She mustn't be self-centered and think only about herself. So back to the woman ,"She suddenly started to...drool and act a bit weird then she puked." Victoria winced at the last word.

Ella had spun around to set her plate down, and when she turned back around.... Kensi had vomited. Oh dear. Ella held her breath and patted the woman's back gently. She was never really the motherly-type, so she had no idea what to do in this situation except try not to breathe too much.

"Let me help," Ella offered to Kensi as she started to clean up. Ella took her wand out and cleaned up the mess until she could finally breathe again. Whew. And then Kensi was talking about going home and changing. Eek. "Maybe you should take the rest of the day off." It wasn't really her shot to call, but... whatever sickness she had seemed pretty bad. Ella frowned as Kensi left and hoped she would be alright.

Ella turned around to the other two women, one of whom had just shown up. "Well. Now that that's over..." And now that she could breathe again... Ella grabbed her plate again. "I hope that whatever she has isn't contagious," she said to anyone in particular.

Making sure Konrad was still following her, Roxanne made her way into the main buffet where it seemed the commotion was coming from. And immediately stopped short. Didn't seem like so much of a party anymore, now that everyone seemed to have split up to get food. Huh. Of course, this didn't seem much of a place to hold a party anyway. What, with all the tables of food and drink set up and everything. "Well, the party seems to mostly be over now. You just want to grab an early lunch?" she asked. Being around all this food reminded her that all she had had time for this morning was a pop tart. Which wasn't really filling, when you thought about it.

Still holding her hand, Konrad followed Roxanne to wherever she wanted to go, to find that there wasn't much fun left, but then again, maybe it was because the man announced that he'd pay for everyone's food or something. He heard that. Where was he, anyway? Amoroso, or what was his name? Errr... no matter.

Roxanne's voice caught his attention, though, so he quickly turned to look at her. An early lunch? Well, he wasn't hungry, but... "I can never say no to a piece of cherry pie," he grinned, this time his turn to lead the way to the buffet. Heh, it didn't truly matter whether he was hungry, or not hungry at all, because Konrad couldn't refuse cherries... or anything that had cherries in it.

Hmmm...... pie. That sounded better than a early lunch. Or maybe just have the pie as lunch. That sounded even better, it did. Who cared what the 'correct' protocol for these type of things was. Roxanne never cared much for it anyway. "Pie it is then!" But maybe not cherry, so much. Maybe she'd see if they had a nice apple one. They were in season by now, yes? Maybe make that apple pie ala mode.....

She followed Konrad over to the desert table, grinning like a fool. After all, why wouldn't she? She had free sweets and a chance to actually extend her break. And the fact that she was walking behind Konrad slightly, giving her a great view of his back end didn't hurt either.....

Shouting woman in wide steps, 4 o’clock and coming straight for her.

O____O

Had Tasha done something wrong? Looking around her, she saw other people filling their plates with food so that couldn’t be it. It was free lunch for only level one people? The woman stopped a few meters away and stopped her theorizing and spoke to Tasha in a less shouty tone of voice asking if she had any napkins?

Opening her bag she rummaged around for a few seconds before pulling up a handful of napkins. Offering them to the woman she responded "Here, take them all. It looks like they are umm needed." Catching another glance at the poor woman who was sick Tasha wondered silently why somebody hadn’t found it wise to escort the sick woman home and out of the food court. Food was usually the last thing you wanted to think about if you were feeling like you could throw up at any moment.

Eyebrows furrowed and inched a little together as the napkin woman explained what had happened to the poor woman. "Acting weirdly how?
Drooling and throwing up, hmm. It’s possible it could be some variant of that stomach bug which usually circles the ministry, but I’m no expert."
And Tasha had never contracted it so she didn’t know if there were any symptoms to look for but drooling didn’t exactly seem like a good sigh. “I’m Natasha Warrington by the way. I work on level 3." She introduced herself to the other woman.

Natasha was seriously thinking about putting her plate of food down and helping out with the icky stuff clean up when the sick woman introduced herself to her. Smiling back at the by the looks of it younger woman she responded. "It’s nice to meet you Kensi even if the circumstances aren’t the best. You should go home and get some rest. Stomach bugs or whatever it is that’s making you sick can hang on for longer than one might expect." Awkwardly shaking the wand instead of a hand she added. "I’m Natasha. I work on level 3."

She watched Kensi leave for the exit on looking sort of shaky. Poor woman.

Natasha pulled out her wand and used ‘evanesco’ to clear away some more puke which she spotted in an undesirable place near the buffet table. The food could start tasting like puke which was never ever a good thing. Picking up a fork and a knife she was about to look for somewhere to sit when she overheard the brunette who had rushed to aid Kensi just a few moment’s ago’s comment. "I couldn’t have said it better myself. Drooling and puking and weird behavior it doesn’t seem like your typical flu bug."Tasha noted. Shudder. "Did Kensi just start acting weirdly out of the blue without any warning signs?" she asked the two women.

Tasha gulped. She was healthy as a horse and hoped to stay that way.

Oh, Ella hadn't noticed that extra bit of... nasty on the floor until the woman cleaned it up. "Thank you... What did you say your name was?" Or did she at all? Ella had been distracted by the drooling woman and the slight chaos she had caused. She scooped some pasta onto her plate. "It must be a new stomach bug," she said. There was a new one pretty much every year. And it was Autumn now. Which meant it was definitely flu season. At the woman's question, Ella shrugged a little bit. "I think so. I came in and she seemed to be fine. But then she just... started drooling. And then vomiting." It was very strange. And disgusting. She wasn't even sure if she was hungry anymore.

Victoria stood shifting her wait from foot to foot while the woman searched for napkins in her bag. Fortunately she had plenty. Victoria smiled at her and took them, "Thank you, and yeah they're needed." Obviously it was obvious that they were having a....puking situation.

"She was staring ahead with an odd expression on her face." The secretary answered on how Kensi was acting weird. "And she didn't remember doing so." Victoria frowned, "Doesn't make sense right?" Or was it Victoria's mind who stopped processing?

And what 's this about the bug, " Stomach bug?"Victoria repeated. She thought she had heard something about it from one of the visitors who came by the front desk earlier but she hadn't given it much attention. And now she wished she had payed attention.

As she was trying to remember what that man spoke about this bug she heard the woman introduce herself. Oh Victoria was so out of manners now which was so unusual for the receptionist. "Nice to meet you Natacha," She smiled at her not feeling like calling her by her last name. They weren't at work. "I'm Victoria Smith. Secretary at the Minister's office." She introduced herself.

As Victoria and Natacha stepped closer to Kensi. Victoria offered the napkins to the other woman who helped cleaning. And Victoria had just remembered the woman, she is a head of department. Victoria remembered seeing her on Level-one. Though she couldn't recall her name. Not now anyway.

Victoria watched Kensi leave feeling sorry for the woman and hoping that she'd feel better. And then the head of department said something about contagious. Victoria swallowed hard and retrieved her wand out of her purse. She cast a cleaning spell non-verbally. Eh...just to make sure.

Victoria listened to Natacha's question who seemed to be of knowledge of this particular bug. Victoria nodded at what the head of department said, "True. She seemed to be fine at first." Victoria said. "Then she suddenly started to drool and her body started to spasm a bit." The secretary explained. It didn't seem normal at all now when she thought of it. "Is this bug treatable? "She asked the women. "And is it known what causes it?" Victoria didn't know much about this bug. And she actually wanted to know in case she encountered other sick person.

"You’re welcome." Natasha nodded. It was the least she could do given the crisis with a vomiting woman causing a mess on the floor of the food court. Name? Hadn’t she introduced herself? She must have forgotten or if she had there was no harm in doing it again. "I’m Natasha. I work as event concealment advisor on level 3." She introduced herself. The brunette looked like that woman in the ministry bulletin she had read some weeks ago on her lunch break but Tasha could easily have this woman mixed up with someone else entirely it happened.

Sighing she said. "I sincerely hope it isn’t. I didn’t attract the last stomach bug that circled the levels but this one seems well um harsh and peculiar." If only she had paid more attention in her school days when they had spoken about symptoms of different illnesses, she doubted though that drooling fit under the stomach bug category.

Let’s change the topic. Hm, "Should we find somewhere to sit and eat our food?" Tasha might have lost some of her appetite with all the vomit but food was why she had come here in the first place.

"She was staring ahead with an odd expression on her face." The secretary answered on how Kensi was acting weird. "And she didn't remember doing so." Victoria frowned, "Doesn't make sense right?" Or was it Victoria's mind who stopped processing?

And what 's this about the bug, " Stomach bug?"Victoria repeated. She thought she had heard something about it from one of the visitors who came by the front desk earlier but she hadn't given it much attention. And now she wished she had payed attention.

As she was trying to remember what that man spoke about this bug she heard the woman introduce herself. Oh Victoria was so out of manners now which was so unusual for the receptionist. "Nice to meet you Natacha," She smiled at her not feeling like calling her by her last name. They weren't at work. "I'm Victoria Smith. Secretary at the Minister's office." She introduced herself.

As Victoria and Natacha stepped closer to Kensi. Victoria offered the napkins to the other woman who helped cleaning. And Victoria had just remembered the woman, she is a head of department. Victoria remembered seeing her on Level-one. Though she couldn't recall her name. Not now anyway.
Victoria watched Kensi leave feeling sorry for the woman and hoping that she'd feel better. And then the head of department said something about contagious. Victoria swallowed hard and retrieved her wand out of her purse. She cast a cleaning spell non-verbally. Eh...just to make sure.

Victoria listened to Natacha's question who seemed to be of knowledge of this particular bug. Victoria nodded at what the head of department said, "True. She seemed to be fine at first." Victoria said. "Then she suddenly started to drool and her body started to spasm a bit." The secretary explained. It didn't seem normal at all now when she thought of it. "Is this bug treatable? "She asked the women. "And is it known what causes it?" Victoria didn't know much about this bug. And she actually wanted to know in case she encountered other sick person.



"It’s all very peculiar and nothing really makes any sense. I even doubt that it’s a new stomach bug even if Kensi vomited excessively. Drooling unless I’m wrong doesn’t usually tie in with vomiting, but I’m not an expert." Natasha commented to the women. Had the ministry gotten their own little mystery sickness on their hands? If that was the case then what precautions should she take to avoid contracting whatever bug had made Kensi act weird in the first place?

Then the thought struck her maybe she was already sick but just wasn’t showing signs? No that was silly you couldn’t get sick by just sitting in your cubicle writing reports and creating models of possible event venues right? Putting a clear sock in flailing thoughts Natasha smiled cheerily at the woman closest to her. "Pleasure to meet you Victoria. I used to work in the minister’s office actually until I transferred when a vacancy opened up in Accidents and Catastrophs." She explained.

Spasms were bad!! Tasha was sort of relieved she hadn’t been there when Kensi had started to do that. "I have no idea, if it’s treatable. Have other employees showed similar symptoms?" she wondered out loud. If they had then she hadn’t heard about it or if she had she had just written it off as a variant of the usual bugs that circled the ministry building from time to time.

Sticking her fork into a piece of chicken Tasha plucked it into her mouth and chewed on it. Yummy.

Well, this was certainly strange. Unlike any stomach bug Ella had ever heard of before. She shook her head a little bit. "I have no idea. I'm not really a health expert, but I've never seen anyone drool that much before. And then... vomit." For all she knew, they could be two different sicknesses all together. Poor Kensi.

Ella smiled despite the odd confusion before. "Pleasure to meet you, Natasha. I'm Ella, the new Magical Creatures head." And even though she had been working there for almost three months, it was still weird to say.

What Natasha said got Ella wondering. "Does the Ministry usually get weird bugs floating around?" Because she sort of made it sound like it did. Maybe they needed a health and sanitation department in this place.

At Natasha's suggestion, Ella nodded with a smile. Sitting down sounded like a good idea. "Sure. Do you want to go over to that hangout place over there?" she asked, pointing to the couches in the corner. "They have comfier chairs."

Victoria nodded listening to what Natacha said. The secretary couldn't find any link between drooling and vomiting. However, she too was not an expert. "I find this really confusing."She shook her head. "It probably expert healers to look into the matter." And they should find a treatment very fast!Before other people caught this disease or whatever it was. And thinking of it Victoria glanced at where Kensie threw up and was grateful that she hadn't gotten so close.

"Really? Were you a secretary, an advisor or what position did you fill in?" Victoria asked Natacha when she mentioned that she was a level-one employee. Though Victoria couldn't understand why would the woman want a job in the catastrophes department.You know in level-one Victoria find it peaceful and relaxing. She didn't like being around troubles which wasn't really working out for her those days. However, she thought that it probably had something to do with refreshing the spirit or something. As working in the same position for too long would turn out to be boring and you'd probably feel that you don't have nothing much to give anymore. Victoria knew that someday she might get to that point but she wasn't going to work in catastrophes.

Back to the disease thing, "I think I might have heard that a couple of employees are suffering from the same symptoms." She told Natacha. "Though I'm not sure in which level or whether they got cured." At Level-one you hear people chatting and gossiping especially being a front-desk employee but you never know whether what you heard is true or not.

Victoria nodded at the woman, "Nor am I. It's complicated and it could actually be anything." Victoria said. "Food poisoning or any other illness." She only now wished for Kensi to get better and find a cure to that.

The blonde receptionist glanced at her watch thinking that she should leave soon. Time had flown by since she got to the conference room to meet the new undersecretary.

TSnitch 12-02-2012 02:30 AM

Dacs moved over to the Main buffet part of the cafeteria. She was confident that the juice bar was well covered. With the field bag over her left shoulder, she surveyed the area and exhaled heavily. Yeah, she was still coming out from under the meeting with the heads and Wes after her brush with another colleague at crime scene. It was tiring some days and today was one of those days. But she couldn't think about that right now.

Lowering the bag onto a table, she reached in and grabbed a tiny pair of tongs and evidence containers and bags. She paused and looked around a bit and took out a note pad and started writing up all the food that were on the buffet.

Everything had to be done properly, plus she was still waiting for some extra hands to arrive. As she understood it, the entire ministry would working with MLE on this case. She was on those who would be in charge along with her boss, who seemed to be under it all. At that thought, Dacs decided she would stick it, try to keep her highly inflammable temper, cool and do her job.

She moved along the table writing down everything as she went.

A silvery eagle came swooping towards where the Dacs is. It hovered for a moment and then stopped in front of the Law Enforcer.

It opened its mouth and the voice of the Junior UNdersecretary was heard.

"Me and my two other colleagues are available to help, would you like us to do something for you?" it said sounding very polite.

Dacs looked up at the eagle patronus and said,"Yes, that would be welcome. I could use a hand over this side."

She continued moving along the buffet and writing as she nodded to the eagle.

The eagle circled the room once more before flying towards the juice bar. Then, moments later, Zach can be seen strutting towards the Main Buffet, towards Ms. Dacosta.

He cleared his throat, smiled and said, "Good day, Ms. Dacosta. I am Zach McMillan and I am here to help." he said extending his hand to shake Dacs'.

After following Zacharias around the food court, Konrad came to a stop at the main buffet right next to the Junior Undersecretary, facing the woman who was supposed to be Ms Dacosta. Working alone over there, was she? Good thing they were there to help. Hooray. Konrad would much rather be surrounded by paperwork than do Merlin knew what around the food court, but it wouldn't hurt to help.

... would it?

"Hello," he said with a nod towards the woman, waiting for further instructions.

Dacs turned around and finished scribbling an item and said keeping her tone level,"Hi, Zach. Please call me Dacs. And I'm glad you're here." as she took his proffered hand with her gloved one.

"Hello," he said with a nod towards the woman, waiting for further instructions.

Just then they were joined by another man."Hi, I'm Dacs. And you are?" she said returning the nod.

"Alright gentlemen, we're just going to be collecting food samples. Now, we are not sure which food is contaminated so we want all of them. You'll need to be wearing protective gloves because we are not sure how they contaminate, whether through contact or ingestion. I have a few pairs of gloves in my field kit over there," she said indicating the black bag on the table,"You grab some of those and the evidence containers and bags are there too. A couple pairs of small tongs to retrieve the evidence and a few small blades to cut if you need to. Label each container and bag before putting them in the cooler."

Dacs flicked her wrist and palmed her wand as it slid from the holster and flicked it toward the table, conjuring a blue and white cooler.

"That's better. If you have any questions I'm all ears. Ok, let's get this done." she said, moving back toward the table to get her tools.

Having what she needed, Dacs headed to one end of the table where she found potatoes. She used the tongs and picked up a couple pieces of roasted potatoes and put them in one evidence bag. Sealing it she plucked a black marker from her back pocket and wrote,Roasted potato on it. Went to the cooler and put it and headed back to the table to do the same with the mashed and boiled potatoes.

"Ah, forgive me," for the lack of manners. "I'm Konrad Scherfig. Pleased to meet you," he smiled, blushing juuust a little. He hated those rare moments when he forgot about his manners. His mother would not be pleased.

And then he listened.

... and listened.

He was there to collect food samples?! However, he was glad to hear that they'd be wearing protective gloves, but what Dacs said next made it difficult to keep his jaw from falling. On the floor. They weren't sure whether they contaminated through contact or indigestion?! What if they could get contaminated only by standing there?!

... moving on. Looking at the black bag she showed them, Konrad took a pair of gloves and put them on, and grabbed the tongs and a couple of evidence containers, too. Oh, look! She even conjured the cooler.

And now... work. Right. In just a few strides, tongs in one gloved hand and an evidence bag in the other, he eyed the breadsticks, picked a couple of them and put them in the bag. Once it was sealed, though, he realized he had nothing to write with. "Do you happen to have more markers?" She did say that they could ask any questions, after all.

Dacs looked at Konrad and smirked a bit at his facail expression and answered the question that was on his face."What we do understand is that it's not airbourne or else we'd all be zombies by now. So, you relax."

As she worked and moved on to the fettucini, she looked over her shoulder and said,"Yeah, look in the right side pocket of the bag; there should be some extras."

Dacs sealed the fancy faerie fettucini, she marked it and placed it in the cooler."So, have you guys noticed anyone on level one behaving strangely?" she asked them. It was always in her nature to interrogate. If it was to get to the bottom of something then she couldn't resist.

Did she just... hear his thoughts? It seemed so, when she answered his unspoken question. Maybe he was that obvious, but then again, he never was good at hiding his true feelings. If he had been blushing just a little a few moments ago, he was now blushing from head to toe, although it did help him relax, what Dacs said. Quite the coward, huh? Good thing he knew it, which is why he wanted a desk job.

When she told him to look in that same bag, Konrad searched the right side pocket and, indeed, found a marker. "Found one," he said as he held it up, grinning triumphantly. "Thank you." Now that he had it, he neatly wrote breadsticks on the evidence bag, and put it in the cooler.

He was picking some bacon when Dacs asked about any strange behaviour on level one. "Everyone seemed alright to me." Unless he was blind, everyone was alright, since he saw everyone every day, working at the fronts desks and all.

"Is there any equiptment left?" Beijing asked Dacs, ready to investigate. "I was also wondering if there are any face masks". Still unaware how long it took for the zombie transformation to take place, she thought she might put a face mask on. That way, nobody would be able to detect any germs if she coughed. Also, it would prevent any contamination from entering her lungs if she came into contact; and wasn't even affected by the virus from the smoothie in the first place.

Dacs stopped working the minute she heard the question and turned to look at another worker. It wasn't the first question that got her attention."Why do you need one? The infection isn't airbourne. Is there something I should know besides your name which I don't?" she said, leveling a cold, unfeeling, questioning stare at the woman.

It was apart of her job to be suspicious and that she was. Face masks were not needed in this investigation unless there was an airbourne infection from without...or within.

"It's because I drank a smoothie from here earlier. If I cough on something, it might get contaminated and mess up the investigation. I have not had any symptoms yet, so it's just incase." she rambeled. Beijing was not the smartest former Slytherin. "And my name is Beijing Pain" she said "level one".

It really didn't sit well with Dacs, that little disclosure. Moving away from the buffet Dacs focused now on the woman and said,"Well, I can't have you down here until you have been cleared. Even though as I said before the infection is not airbourne but your concern is not completely misplaced."

"It's nice to meet you Beijing but our encounter will have to be cut short as you have to report to the quarantine area until you are cleared." she said in a firm tone.

She flicked her wrist again and took out her wand. She summoned her patronus and sent over to Esme. Things needed to start wrapping up soon. These samples need to be tested so we could get to the bottom of things and get the infected ministry employees treated right away. She watched the silvery jaguar bound away. Before she turned back to the girl.

"While I get this sorted, you check off the list I've made over there on the table to see what we have so far." she told the woman. Contamination risk would be lower with her not directly handling the samples. She didn't want to be mean, well not on purpose this time but she had to be careful.

CJP 12-06-2012 05:37 AM

Beijing looked in the direction the lady pointed, she spied the list. She would head over there first, and make sure that everything on the list was covered. "sounds good" she said "and I didn't get your name". She would like to know who she was taking with.

After talking to Dacs, she made her way to the list. Most people have seemed to have gathered enough samples; but Beijing scrolled down the list to check every last thing. There would be no blunders when she was in control. She was pleased to sudenely be put incharge, she was not even a member of MLE. The former Slytherin scenned her list again, looking for something that had not been checked off. "Ah, here we go"

Quote:

-Check inside cupboards behind counter.
Check, she ticked the instruction off the list "People, listen here. We need to collect samples from inside the cupboards. Someone needs to go behind the counter and check the cupboards under the counter and above the counter. Who is willing to accept this task? " she said, holding up the list as she made her anouncement. She saw some people standing around, as if they were doing nouthing, perhaps they could be the ones for the job?

After talking to Dacs, she made her way to the list. Most people have seemed to have gathered enough samples; but Beijing scrolled down the list to check every last thing. There would be no blunders when she was in control. She was pleased to sudenely be put incharge, she was not even a member of MLE. The former Slytherin scenned her list again, looking for something that had not been checked off. "Ah, here we go"



Check, she ticked the instruction off the list "People, listen here. We need to collect samples from inside the cupboards. Someone needs to go behind the counter and check the cupboards under the counter and above the counter. Who is willing to accept this task? " she said, holding up the list as she made her anouncement. She saw some people standing around, as if they were doing nouthing, perhaps they could be the ones for the job?

"Excuse me, where are my manners. I'm Dacs." she said, before getting back to work. She heard when the woman found the list.

As Dacs bagged two more items from the menu, the mozzarella sticks and the cheesy bread, the young woman did something Dacs didn't expect. Breathing deeply, she turned, her eyes snapping live coals."Ok,you just need to check that list off or head to level two to quarantine. That was and still is your only instruction. Are we clear?" she took another breath and remarked," I know what needs to be done, it's kind of my job. When this is done, I'm going to need this taken to the lab. I'll have to have you escorted there then to quarantine. At least until you are cleared."

She wasn't going to have anyone who doesn't know the full situation take point, not while she was there. It would only serve to confuse an already running operation.

Snatching the marker, Dacs labelled the bags and set them down in the cooler and turned to get more evidence containers. She was working as fast as she could.

Zach walked around and near the bag to get some collection bags. He then grabbed a marker and some gloves so as to not contaminate the samples.

He heard Dacs and someone talks and when he look around he saw that she was from the Ministry Department. Poor soul he thought. He thinks that that girl is just sad. She believes she is in charge, very delusional. He then walked towards the two talking.

"Do you want me to escort her to level 2?" he said as he overheard the conversation. "Here are some samples I collected." handing over two sample bags to Dacs.

"Nice to meet you" she replied.

"Pardon me, looks like I have forgotten my manners". Oh merlin. Beijing had not interprited the instructions correctly, she was brilliant at making enemies and thouraly hoped she had not made another one. "I must have misunderstood what you told me about the list." Beijing was horrified inside to have made such a mistake, but on the outside she kept her cool. She was grateful that nobody had claimed the task she'd asigned before Dacs caught her. She figured she'd better head to the quarentine soon, even thought she dreaded the thought of showing up there.

Dacs rolled her head to ease some of the tension in her neck and shoulders. When Zach spoke up she turned to him and said,"Ok, but after we're done here."she said, taking the bags from him."I only asked her to check the list because she's potentially infected and she made a valid point of contaminating evidence. I just want her somewhere safe where she can be monitored, until she is cleared."

She looked at the woman and sighed.

"It's ok. Happens to the best of us. Just keep that list tight, I don't want to miss anything. I'll have them take care of you while you are there in quarantine, ok?" she said to her in an easy, light tone.


Dacs went back to collecting samples. Within fifteen minutes she had more items bagged and labelled. Items such as the roast beef, cornish pasties, the bacon sandwich and the ham and cheese sandwich. She really wasn't wasting time. The dessert bar was next and they did have another large spread to get through.

She turned to the three that she was working with and said, "I'm going to run over to the juice bar and see what's going on ok? I'll be right back." before she headed away from the table, peeling the gloves off as she went.

Victoria had come to the main buffet area. She had heard they might need help with some things and thought it might be a good way to meet some new people. She hesitated though, wasn't this where they said the illness was starting or did she hear them wrong in that meeting. Trying to decide whether to continue or not Victoria decided to just go ahead and see if she could help in any way.

Walking into the area she looked around, having no clue who to even talk with. Seeing a lady that seemed to be in charge, Victoria walked up to her and gave the best not showing how nervous she was smile, "Hello, I'm Victoria Maroon. I was wondering if I could be of any assistance at all." Well they could always say no if they didn't want her help, but at least she asked.

Just as Dacs was about to leave the area, another young woman came over, asking where she could help. She turned as she was approached by the woman and said,"Hi Victoria, I'm Dacs, I'm in charge for this investigation. We could use some extra hands collecting samples. There are more gloves in that field bag over there, put on a pair, grab some tongs and evidence containers. There is suppose to be an extra marker in the right side pocket of the bag, label each sample each and put in the cooler there." she indicated the cooler which stood open next to the bag."Any questions, don't be afraid to ask."

She looked at the young woman and smiled before saying,"Loosen up a bit."

Victoria tried to listen very carefully to all instructions. Well that didn't seem to hard, right. " I think I can handle that. Now when I label them is the persons name somewhere to label or is something else needing on the label?" She wanted to make sure she had everything right. She did not want to be the person to screw this up.

Turning Victoria went to the bag and slipped on the gloves, then took out the tongs. Next she found the containers. She felt like a secret detective or healer with all of this. Putting her hand down in the bag she found the marker. Okay now that she had everything where should she start. She looked around taking it all in for a moment.

Dacs shook her head a bit and said,"You label what food item is in the bag. So that they can know what is contaminated from what isn't. No person's name. Once you've labelled it properly, you put it in the cooler."

She was feeling at ease that things would go fine. They just needed to get a move on. The dessert bar was left and then to get these to the lab. The other phase of the investigation needed to be underway.

MeredithRodneyMckay 12-07-2012 08:07 PM

Dacs! Finally here. *hides*
 
Gabriel snapped on the gloves Dacs had left for him on his desk earlier that day. He'd been busy reading through the list she'd given him as well, which is why he was later than planned joining the team at the food court.

"Right, where do you need me?" he asked, marching over to the woman. She was charge of this part, he would bow to her demands.

Victoria listened and smiled, "Yes I can do that. I will get started right away." She gave Dacs a smile and then turned back to the food. Using the tongs Victoria picked up the first food and placed into the bag. Using the marker Victoria started to label the bag. This was actually kind of gross when she thought about it. Touching other people's food that they had eaten even though she was touching them with tongs was still gross.

Victoria did this for a few more bags and then she started placing the bags into the coolers. Looking up she saw another man join them, smiling she gave a small hi and then turned back to the work she was doing. More food into bags and then marking them correctly. She made sure to double check to get everything correctly.

Dacs turned and smiled at Gabe."Hey, another head screwed on right. Good to see you. I was just about to check on the juice bar crew. You mind holding it down here. I got something else I might have to look into pretty soon." she said to him in a very easy tone.

"Good." was all she said before she turned away. She looked around to see that no one was dawdling and not doing anything. Dacs was about the job, and was not about to waste any time as time was of the essence. Looking across, Dacs saw that Esme and another employee were packing up and leaving the juice bar.

She doubled back and snatched the gloves that were hanging from her back pocket and hurried toward the buffet and started moving at warp speed. In about 30 minutes she had bagged and tagged the garden- Knome salad, the Cesar salad, mixed vegetables,tripe, the pork chop and applesauce and the dragon breath stew. Placing them in the cooler, she turned to Gabriel and said,"Can you finish up here and send Zach and Beijing up to the lab to be tested. Then join me over by the dessert bar. I'm just gonna be there a while and then move to the next phase of the investigation. After this you can head to level two and see what's going on with rounding up the infected." she said as she peeled off the gloves again.


OOC: Ok, I added this to kind of speed things up so we can get to the dessert bar.

Zach heard his name and looked into the direction where the voice came from. It was Dacs, giving orders to a Gabriel. He went over and cleared his throat for a sec and said. "OK, I will now head with Beijing to Level 2 for her to be tested." he said looking around trying to figure out if Beijing is still around...

Bazinga 12-19-2012 08:17 PM

Victoria was working on the food samples she had been collecting. Making sure each had their labels and each were placed in the cooler just as she was told to do. This was different then making a quidditch schedule, but she was glad to be helping out. As she finished up she looked around to make sure she had gotten all the samples in the area.

Trying to see exactly who was left in the room, she noticed Dacs who had given her the orders to begin with. She was speaking with others about what to do next. Wow there was so much going on with this investigation. Victoria listened to try and figure out some of it, with no detective work experience she figured she was missing some terms they were discussing. Victoria walked over to the small group. "I finished the samples I was working on, what would you like for me to do next?"

TeafortheSoul 07-06-2013 10:08 AM

..... seriously. They had to pay? Per item? What kind of buffet was this? Or was it pay that amount and get as much of anything you want on that list? Rusty squinted at it but the menu didn't shed any more light on that, and neither did the actual food itself.

He stared in consternation, his stomach grumbling.

This was way too pricey to manage every day, especially given how much he had a tendency to eat.

Lenny's first thought when she walked towards the buffet, was that the queue was going to be way too long. That was completely incorrect, she realised, as there were very few people here. Her second thought came after she'd realised why. You had to pay .. for each thing. How ridiculous. Unfortunately, she didn't have time to pop home and grab a bite to eat, so this would have to do. Plus, the food would no doubt be nicer.

Problem. One guy seemed to be taking his time.

Normally, she would be too shy to say anything, but this was FOOD they were talking about. A serious matter. So, yeah, shyness went out of the window. "Hey, um, yeah, excuse me? I think I'm going to eat my arm if I don't get some food soon, so could you, yeah, hurry up?" Or move over a little, so she could reach what she wanted. Either was fine with her.

Rusty had worked out, since he'd been back in England, that the most interesting encounters seemingly happened around food. At least today there was no food collisions, so hey, that was a step up. The Obliviator turned to look at the woman at his elbow. Almost more girl than woman really. She looked young. Honestly if he weren't in the Ministry at that moment he probably would've mistaken her for a sixth or seventh year kid.

Arm eating though? "Would you remove it first?" He didn't address the rest. She could go around him if she really wanted to, not like there was some huge queue or anything.

Perhaps she knew the answer to his questions though.

"Would you happen to know if those prices are a flat rate for all the food listed below it?" Because it sure didn't say per item. Also, it DID say it was a Buffet. And Buffet implied all you can eat. So.

Clearly a legit question.

bitsyandtank 08-10-2013 08:02 PM

"Mmmmm" she hummed as inhaled the glorious smell of the buffet. Zoe was hungry...no, starving. After a morning of taking care of little tykes, she felt as if she could eat every last thing on the menu. All of the selections looks wonderful. Especially the Garden-gnome salad and the Dragon's breath casserole. Looking down the line, she decided to get the salad and casserole along with some mixed vegetables and a side of cheese bread. She could always take the left overs home.

Moving down the line, she noticed there was the dessert bar to her left. Yes, she must leave room for dessert. Leaving room on her tray, Zoe grabbed a few napkins and headed towards the desserts before paying.

Bazinga 08-14-2013 03:25 AM

Victoria sat eating her chicken wrap, it was a nice day. She watched people coming in and out. Sitting alone she had some thoughts going through her head. Gavin was sweet and she wished he was sitting with her, maybe she would go visit him after she was done. He would like that wouldn't he? Of course he would. There was not reason he wouldn't. Then her mind went to Charely and she sighed. She really liked him, the dates were going so well, but there was Gavin.

She continued to watch people around her and a smile grew on her face. Moving her tray to the side, Vic slipped off her shoes and stepped on her chair. Stepping up onto her table she knelt down and put her hands on her hips like wings.

"BUCUCK......BUCUCK... BUCUCK..... BUCUUUUUUUCK"


Oh if Bart could see his mother now... She chuckled, got off the table slipped her shoes back on, sat down, and continued to eat her wrap.

Bradley was in desperate need of food. Mainly because it was more than halfway through the day and he hadn't eaten since breakfast. His stomach was really starting to fight against him. But he'd just been so busy getting everything set and taking care of kids. Once his healer duties were taken care of, he asked someone to cover him while he took a well needed break.

...and of course the food court was packed. With a slight sigh Brad got in line. Didn't these people know he was about to die of hunger? Well not really, but still. He wanted his food now.

.......

It was days like this that wished she’d gone out to eat, or better yet, sent someone to get her food for her. Unfortunately for her, these bright ideas escaped her until she found herself queueing up for the main buffet. Ugh.

She tapped her heal impatiently, not even caring if it bothered the person in front of her.
“Excuse me, do you think you could pass me... something, anything,” that was within his reach. Emily disliked standing around. It was a waste of time, literally.

Bradley heard the insist sound of heels tapping. That sound was not a pleasant sound. Even if they made the ladies look prettier, heels were still not the nicest sounding of shoes.

He turned around to see a very impatient looking woman behind him. Apparently she was as hungry as he was, but he was being an adult about it. Haley would be proud.

"Uh sure." Brad turned around and grabbed a bacon sandwich, handing it back to her. "In a rush are we?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

She saw the man look at her. She saw. But then at least he obliged her with her request, that was something. "Thanks," she added quickly as she took the sandwich from him. She didn't care what was in it, though she did like bacon.. a lot.. so this was all sorts of win.

"Mmmmm," she mummbled with a mouthful before swallowing, "I usually am." It was part and parcel with the job, especially given the circumstances in which she took the position. There was so much to be done, and not enough time in which to do it. Lame.
"Emily Browne... MLE Department Head," she introduced herself, offering the man her hand for a shake. Granted, her hand was a bit slick with the juices from the bacon... but she didn't care, it was just food!stuff, it wouldn't kill him. Besides, she wanted to shake the mans hand, he'd just done her a favour with the food. She could eat now, and grab something else to go, once the line dwindled. Bonus.

...and he turned around to grab a bacon sandwich for himself. It just looked yummy. The woman was lucky it made it to her hands. Brad looked back at her as she seemed to be eating in line. Definitely in a rush.

"Not really the best way to live if you ask me." Coming from the man that had not eaten all day because he was busy at work. Oops. Ah. But her position kind of made sense with her being busy all the time. Brad smiled and shook her hand. At least his was full of equal baconness...if that was even a word. "Bradley Donovan. Nursery Healer." Man did his title suck compared to hers. But he liked his job so no complaints.

Taking another bite, Emily shook her head at the guy. "It's not... as bad as it sounds," she said between bites. At least she was never bored, never left to her own devices. There was no chance of her losing her marbles in that sense. "I can see how it's not for everyone though..."

Bradley... she was impressed with his handshake. No squirming, no awkward wiping hands on pants, just a solid shake. As for the nursery healer bit, Emily's eyes widened with respect, "little ones... kudos to you," she didn't have the patience for kids. Recent run-ins though, were proving her otherwise. That wasn't to say she was starting to like children. Tolerating them and liking them were two different things. "That must keep you busy though," she added, noting that he too was eating in line now. See, it was efficient. Smart. Nothing wrong with it at all.

Bradley... she was impressed with his handshake. No squirming, no awkward wiping hands on pants, just a solid shake. As for the nursery healer bit, Emily's eyes widened with respect, "little ones... kudos to you," she didn't have the patience for kids. Recent run-ins though, were proving her otherwise. That wasn't to say she was starting to like children. Tolerating them and liking them were two different things. "That must keep you busy though," she added, noting that he too was eating in line now. See, it was efficient. Smart. Nothing wrong with it at all.

Brad took a bite of his own sandwich. What? She'd had a good idea. And he was hungry and needed to keep up his manish figure. Yep. "Never said it was bad...just can get slightly unhealthy." Oops. Maybe he should've swallowed before speaking. Oh well.

He swallowed and gave her a smile. "I'm guessing you and kids don't mix." Brad had actually gotten that reaction quite a lot. He didn't mind though. He loved his job. Bradley nodded with enthusiasm. "Yep. This is the first thing I've had to eat since breakfast." Busy, busy Bradley.
