Jade hugged Tina back and nodded, "Yeah, it is a very long day today. I'm glad that we met though. I'll owl you if we don't meet up again today."

She watched Tina walk away--presumably back to her office. Jade grinned a little to herself before she too went back to her office.

Elizabeth strolled to the fountain. She wondered who built it and why it was so discrimating against other magicial races. She looked down into the water at the bottom of the fountain and saw how messed up her hair was so she pulled it into a tight bun. She then went into deep thought on her day, looking back up at the fountain.

''Do you mind?,'' he asked the young lady staring out at the water ''I am Jerrord or Jerry or Mr Kieren!,'' she said politly why was it all the younger folk called him sir! He did enjoy it ALOT! but it made him feel slightly uncomfortable!

He smilied at the woman

Elizabeth looked up at the man. "Oh sorry. not at all." She smiled. "Nice to meet you Mr. Kieren. I am Elizabeth. It is a pleasure to meet you." She didn't want to use his first name or nickname, since they just met.

He smilied ''Pleasure,''

''Elizabeth? such a beautifull name!'' he drank some coffee ''I presume you work at the ministry?''

"She smiled, "Thank you. Yes, i work as an ambassador in the international cooperation. I am guessing you work at the ministry too?"

In her break, Violet had come down from Level Four to get a proper look at the Fountain of Magical Brethren. She'd seen glimpses of it whilst passing through, but she hadn't had time to really stand and look at it before now. Violet guessed she would be spending a lot of her breaks down here. She heard footsteps behind her and turned round with a smile, "It's beautiful isn't it?"

''Ambassader? To where I might ask?'' he nodded ''Yes but they haven't givin out the pasifics yet! But for now i'm Maitenance but I have barely anything to do because i'm not clean up crew,'' he smilied

"To Haven, Atlantis and all the "magicial" countries." Elizabeth laughed and smiled. "I basically have nothing to do right now. Maitenance? How lovely, it is a very inportant department, helps keep the ministry running." She smiled again.

He chuckled ''Seems interesting''

Elizabeth shrugged. "Sometimes it is." She laughed. "Have you been working at the ministry for long or is this your first job?"

''I say long enough I have been in different departments!,'' he replied ''But yes this is my I do have a new job at Maitenence,''

Elizabeth smiled. "That is cool. What is your favorite department to work in?"

Melanie stepped out to the Atrium. It was an amazing feeling to finally be free of any maintenance work from Lord Borr, or Lard Butt, she thought.

Melanie saw two women chatting rather excitingly to each other. She decided it was time to meet some of her colleagues since she had nothing to do. One of the women seemed very familiar to her as if she'd seen her a couple of times in a different department in the ministry

Melanie walked up to the two women with a smile. "Hi! Let me introduce myself. I'm Melanie Rosaline Caparelli. It's very nice to meet new people here. I just started working a month ago." Melanie turned to the woman she thought was very familiar. "Do I know you from somewhere? You seem very familiar." Melanie said with a wink.

"Nice to meet you, Ms.Caparelli." Elizabeth smiled. "I'm Elizabeth Davis. You do look familiar but i'm not good with names or faces." She laughed.

Melanie laughed as well. "It's a pleasure to meet you Elizabeth. You can just call me Melanie. No need for the Ms.'s and Mrs. I am not very good with faces either, but I'm sure we'll get to know each other more very soon." Melanie said with a warm smile.

Elizabeth laughed and smiled. "Sorry, so use to doing it out of respect. I'm sure we will too. It will be a pleasure to get to know you more."

"That is definitely OK! How are you liking working at the Ministry of Magic? I've only been working here for a few weeks, but I don't know how long I'll be able to stand the minister's demand's and largeness." Melanie said with a sigh.

She was honestly very tired after her long hours cleaning up Lord Borr's office all day.

"It has been good, i have an amazing department head as boss." She smiled and laughed. She passed a letter to Melanie, trusting her to not tell "Lard Butt", that told of the strike happening soon. "How do you like working except for the Minister's work?"

OCC: The strike is on now it is in the outside the ministry forum if you want to join.

Melanie took the letter from Elizabeth and opened it to find out that a strike was happening outside the ministry. How had she not know of this? Of course, Lard Butt, ahem Lord Borr, may not have wanted any of the employees to know.

"Working for the ministry is very exciting! So much to learn and explore in the ministry! I've always wanted to work in the Ministry of Magic since i was a little girl." She said. "The strike may seem interesting to join and find out more about what's going on. Shall we?" Melanie raised her hand toward the main doors of the Ministry.

Elizabeth put her finger on her lips to silence Megan. She told Melanie in a soft voice"I think it is on the down low right now." Going back to a normal voice, "We shall." She smiled. She looked over at the guy she just met, "Want to come too?"

"Oops!" Melanie covered her mouth quickly. "Was I not to say it aloud?" Melanie felt her cheeks warm up a tiny bit. She always got easily embarrassed especially when she didn't know the person well enough. Melanie looked expectantly at the man Elizabeth asked to see what his answer will be.

Elizabeth laughed, "I'm not sure but better safe than sorry." Seeing Melanie blush, she frown slightly "Sorry, didnt mean to." She looked back at the man.

"No, No! It's fine." Melanie said shaking her head. "It's just been a really long day for me in the Minister's office doing some very unpleasant tasks, like cleaning his toe nail clippings." Melanie started to rub her stomach. This was not going to be good.

Melanie felt like she was about to feel sick to the stomach.
"I'm really sorry, but I think I'm going to need to go outside for a bit. I'm not feeling very well. The fresh air will help me so don't worry yourself too much. Maybe I can even see and support the 'event' that's happening."

Melanie briskly walked out the front doors of the Ministry. She hoped her fatigue will pass by soon.

"That sounds dreadful." She grimaced, and asked when Melanie was rubbing her stomach, "Are you ok?" She frowned in worry. After Melanie said she is going out and might see the 'event', she said, "Ok, i might see you out there. I hope you feel better."
