|  The Office of Gabriela Recard, Department Head curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog
 As you walk into Gabi's office, the scent of plumeria hits your nostrils. A soy candle is burning in the corner releasing the heavenly aroma into the air - and all without added chemicals! If there is one thing Gabi loves more than transportation, it's health, and you are more than welcome to grab some pita chips and hummus, which are sitting nicely in the corner of Gabi's desk for her to munch on while working on important department head stuff. There's also a tea kettle heating up magically on the bookcase next to the window - it'll start whistling when it's ready to go, and Gabi has a large array of teas to choose from!
The curtains are open, and the windows are charmed to allow endless sunlight to stream into the room (but not TOO bright of course, her blue eyes are very sensitive!) There are pictures of Gabi's son, Tucker, including a copy of the picture she sent him on his first day on Level 3, along with her husband Armen, sitting proudly on her desk. Everything is perfectly organized into neat piles, along with a few random issues of Witch Weekly, which she reads whenever she gets some free time.
If you're here to chat, have a seat in one of the two cushy blue armchairs in front of her desk. Be sure you knock before entering, though! Gabi does NOT enjoy rudeness, and if you just barge in - well, no hummus for you! Quote:
OOC: Welcome! Gabi is so excited to chat with you - but PLEASE RP your character knocking and please wait until Gabi invites you in.

Soon after having read the announcements board, Vickers made his way to the Department Head's office. He wanted to introduce himself.... or re-introduce himself, because he did remember Ms Gabriela from the camping trip some years past. But then she had a different name.... so maybe this was another Gabriela? A Gabriela that sorta looked like the old Gabriela? Whatever happened to the other guy? And the guy before him, the one he had to share a smelly fishy office with? His department heads always confuse him alas.
But now he was there and like the polite Claw that he was, he raised his hand and rapped against the door softly. | |

Robert hadn't left too much of a mark, so it was easy for Gabi to settle in right where she had left off. Sigh. Was there ever going to be stability on this level? Maybe one of these days...hopefully it ended with her. She'd made her choice, she was STAYING and it was going to be for GOOD.
With that, her thoughts were distracted as a knock at the door made her jump slightly. "Come in!" she called.

Ah so his boss is inside. The lanky young man peeked his head through the door for a moment before meekly making his way towards the table "Goodmorning Mrs Recard... I-I-I'm Vickers-- V-Vincenzo Vanderbilt, I'm the records keeper with Apparating division." he stuttered as he offered his hand. Geez he should calm down or he'd hyperventilate himself to unconsciousness.
"I-I saw the announcement at the board, and well, its a great idea...." he nodded. Theres a lot of things his Department Head posted that he wanted to say but one at a time "Do you uh... you said you're willing to receive contributions for the fruit bouquet? Do you mean like fruits or the basket or something else?" like arts and craft-ing?

Awww, Gabi remembered this child slightly. He reminded her a bit of her own Tucker - although Tucker certainly didn't have the nervousness problem. She hated having this effect on people - she wasn't THAT scary, she promised! It was her curse to bear, though. Sigh.
"Hello Mr. Vanderbilt, I remember you from my previous time here," she told him with an inviting smile. Knowing that he was memorable to her might calm him down a bit! "And really, just anything you can contribute, money wise," she explained, pulling a small envelope out of her drawer that she'd been using to collect the money. "It's not required and I wouldn't want anyone to feel forced into it," she added. Those fruit flower bouquets were just too cute though, and she was sure Sherman would appreciate the gesture!

She remembered him. So it is her! His memory wasnt being all weird on him after all.
His shoulders lowered as he visibly relaxed. "Oh I-I can... you know contribute monetarily..." he said as he reached out for the envelope. "I thought you were looking for something more p-personal... uhmmm like us shopping for the fruits or carving or weaving...." yeah like that.
"Is the Minister coming here to get it o-or is someone going to deliver it to him?" | |

"Is the Minister coming here to get it o-or is someone going to deliver it to him?" "I was going to put in an order for it and have someone deliver it - or would YOU like to deliver it?" Gabi asked the young man with a smile. She could tell that he was...hmmm, what was the word? Sort of ITCHING to contribute. He seemed to be relaxing a bit too which was nice. "That might be a nicer touch, actually, if you delivered it on behalf of the sixth floor," she added as an afterthought. She was serious...it hadn't occurred to her, and he seemed eager enough!
"So, Mr. Vanderbilt, how have things been around here in my absence?" she asked him, leaning back and pouring herself a cup of tea from the kettle on the corner of her desk. "Tea?" she added, offering him a cup as well. "It's green tea with coconut flavoring," she informed him. In case that wasn't his cup of tea. Literally. Hehe.

Vickers had just flipped the lid of the envelope when he stopped mid-action, his gaze lifting back to his boss. Did she just?...... Could he?...... "M-M-May I Ma'am?" he nodded, a small anxious smile just tugging up at the corner of his lips. He so wanted to see the Minister, but was frightfully nervous that people with no business up at the Minister's office wouldnt be allowed beyond the elevators. But now he has a reason to go up there "It would be such an honor to g-gift it to the Minister in behalf of Magical Transportation." Nod nod nod.
Oh dear, his completely crumpled the envelope in his excitement. Straaaaighten out that paper boy.
He smiled much easier now at the offer of tea "I-I would love some Ma'am th-thank you." Green tea he's familiar with. Coconut? Well now that was new. He tried not to let that bizarre anxiety creep up and just focus on the fact that its green tea. "Uuhm.... well theres been s-some things thats happened-- The Elections...." Well of course she knew that duh " Th-there were a whole lot of Healers around here last year--b-before the elections." Why they were actually around somewhat confused the young man. And given that his... emergency sabbatical had him surrounded by a whole bunch of Healers as well... lets just say he was a bit weary of them at that point. "D-Did you know that one time, th-they couldnt open the Ministry doors and we had to work in a smelly wharf for our office?" He winced. He had just gotten back from his sabbatical then. And everything was NEW-- his boss, his office, his olfactory senses stuck on fish perfume. Gah!
"I really like our office." he murmured sheepishly. It may not be the prettiest, but it was familiar, and alas for the boy who needed to hang onto things that are familiar to him for his sanity | |
