Welcome to the Office of

Department Head

Once you are bidden to enter, you enter the room and look around you. Olive green covers the walls and wood covers the lower half of the walls. Large pictures cover a few of the walls of places he's gone to during his time away. In one corner sits a large fireplace and above that is a foe glass with lamps on either side. Behind his desk sits the doors going into the work areas.

His desk seems quite small and empty, but most of the items have a disillusionment charm on them, so if you look just right you can see it's quite cluttered. A few picture frames are on the corners of the desk, one holds Becca and him at their wedding, the other holds their three children Torie, James and Norah. Book shelves line one wall with lots of 20th century books. A few current titles appear on them, but his collection there isn't as broad.

In the center of the room is a seating area with a few squashy chairs and a sofa. A coffee table with a potted plant sits on it. Just past that is a conference table with enough seats for the department workers.

ooc: Open RP Area. Any ministry personnel may RP here.

Please note there is no longer a seating area outside the office. This means you don't need to wait to enter the office, but please do knock. Gidyun might possibly having a meeting with a few employees. If this is the case, please do pm him, if you need interrupt. But he won't yell at you if you appear anyway ;)

Mizuki knocked on the closed office door of her department head. She felt she needed to meet the woman and that it might be good to ask for her first assignment as most of the morning had been spent trying to get to know her co-workers. She was ready to work.

"Oh Enrique," She giggled with a silly tone. "Just Gina is fine, so tell mw, what brings you to the British Ministry of magic?" But a noise interrupted them...

... She opened the door. "Oh Hello! Let me finish with Enrique, and I'll be right with you..."

Only Gina was fine? Well, that was new to Enrique, but as she wished...

What brought him to the British Ministry? He chuckled uneasily. His past, the need of a place change afterwards, his problems with his family, the conditions in Spain, the conditions here, the need of money...

"England has always attracted me somehow." A fair enough answer?

Mizuki comes to the door. "I was next Mrs. Latorta-san" She said bowing respectfully to her boss.

Mizuki nodded. "That would be wonderful Gina." She had a hard time not adding the san but she would do as her boss requested. She took a seat in the rather comfortable office and waited for her boss to speak. She wanted to address a question but first she felt the need to get to know her boss. At the Japanese Ministry they had been so close knit there that Mizuki still called her boss Charles her friend, and he the same. She would like to get to know Gina that well.

Sarah knocked on the door of the head of the departments office. This is was first day and wanted to meet with the department head to get her assignments and such. She waited patiently on the other side of the door. She hoped that she would make a good first impression on, her head of department.

ooc: Sorry, I'm a little slower to reply when I am sick :(
 

Mizuki introduced herself. "I am Mizuki Corun I transferred here from the Japanese Ministry doing the exact same job Excise Service Personnel." She took a bite of her cake and smiled It was really quite good. After chewing and swallowing she complimented Gina on the cake. "This is really good, I would love to have your recipe." She smiled and continued, "Recently Divorced, single mother of one who is currently away at Hogwarts.

She smiled, thinking of her beautiful son and the letter she'd got this morning telling her about his week. She missed him so much. Blinking she came back into the conversation. "I am so sorry, I was just thinking abut my son." She told Gina conversationally. "I miss him terribly."

Mizuki smiled softly and took a slice of the desert and took a bite. She closed her eyes for a moment to let the Chocolate make her feel better. "Connor is 16 now he's a Fifth year at Hogwarts." She reached in her little purse and pulled out a picture of him and handed it to her boss. "He's half veela and quite the charmer." She smiled, taking another bite of the desert. "I miss him so much right now especially since everything went downhill." She whispered. "Right now work is all I have." She looked up at her boss. "Which reminds me, I was looking around the office and I can't find any export requests or Import requests. I was wondering if you might have them. I also wanted to ask if I could work on the japanese correspondence some, to help out."

"Thank you Gina, I believe I've got it from here oh but you didn't answer me about helping with the Japanese correspondence." She smiled softly, getting up."if you don't mind I'll return the plate clean tomorrow, I'd like to finish these deserts while pouring over incoming requests. I'm sure you have other employees who need to see you." She bowed a little. "Thank you for being a mothr figure, I needed one at the moment." she gathered her things.

Armen followed Gina into her office and took a seat in one of the chairs across from her desk. He wasn't being rude he just felt like he had known her in particular for long enough that it didn't matter any more. She was welcome to do the same when she visited his office. "Ah, fudge would be lovely, thank you Gina." the Department Head looked around the office for a few minutes as he waited for her to retrieve the treat.

She liked his idea? "Well thanks. I figured it would also add to a sense of community within the employees and Departments." he smiled. Borr would eat that stuff up. "I think that if we combined our ideas, my open door thing and your breeze charm, we could send them in seperately and just both have a small note on the bottom saying we were planning on implenting them through the Ministy." He nodded smally.

She cut up the fudge into little chunks. "So do we write up a proposal?" She asked offering him a few chunks.

Armen conjured up a napkin and appeared in his hand from the stack he knew were in the Ministry cafeteria and began to take a few chuncks of the fudge from the plate Gina offered him, "Thanks." and he took a small bite from the first piece.

After chewing and closing his eyes for a second to revel in the awesomeness of the treat, Armen spoke in reply to her question. "I would say yes. We can write up a proposal and then sign both of our names on the bottom, then deliver it to Borr. But I also will have people on my level do some plants and fans too just so Borr doesn't try to twist the two of our's work into us not doing things individually or whatever he can come up with." Armen added. He didn't want Borr to think they were lazy after all, even though coming up with two awesome ideas didn't qualify as lazy to Armen.

Armen smiled too, she was right after all. Borr wouldn't like the fact that someone just took what he had done. "Yeah, you're right. Our two ideas are good enough to be on the proposal. I just need to think of something I can do on my level to make the place more....whatever Borr wants it to be." he finished after giving up on the word that was lost to him.

The man couldn't help but let the corner of his lips arch up in a smile while Gina expressed her love for the gooey snack. "Me too," and with a nodd he popped another chunk into his mouth.

Sorry for the lateness <33
 

Armen wasn't sure what she meant. He reached forward and picked up her copy of the memo from Borr and scanned it. "I assumed he wanted us to 'liven up' our own work areas with things such as plants and other things of the sort. Plus come up with ideas, like we did, in order to better the work areas as a whole."

The man chewed another piece of fudge and waited for Gina to speak.

Relieved that he hadn't been given a task that the other Department Heads wouldn't have to work, Amren grinned and then nodded his head. "I agree meeting with our employees for brainstorms will be great, that's what I plan to do."

"So should we go ahead and write up the proposal for our Ministry/Level-wide ideas that we came up with today? That way the Minister can go ahead and get it?" He had to deliver his level plans aswell soon, hopefully before the man exploded; both figuratively and literally.

"No, let's meet with our departments." She said, "We'll then re-meet and re-evaluate... and write up our proposals?" She asked.

"Good thinking Gina." he grinned and stood up from his chair, fixing his shirt. "Do you mind if I take a piece of fudge or two for the road? Compliments to your husband, he did a wonderful job on this batch." he grinned and headed for the door. He did need to meet with his employees, he couldn't have them just running around without anything to do.

Matthew entered his boss's office after a short wait. Since he didn't have that much to say, he decided to make it quick, to let the woman do her job, assuming she was probably very busy. 'It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Latorta. I am Matthew DuBarry, the new Ambassador to Africa. I just wanted to see you before I officially begin my work here.' Yes, that pretty much summed it all up. 'Any urgent tasks at hand?' To be honest, the man was pretty clueless about what he was supposed to do on his first day, especially since his new job differed greatly from the old one.

Walking In after The other Man , Corrina Just Stood There , the office was very clean and organized but the lady would be busy for sure so she just introduced herself . " Hello Ma'am I'm Corrina Delacour nice to meet you . " She said . " I Work as an Immigration Officer and i was wondering If There are any Tasks Or Any Things There are To Finish ? The Blonde Said Curiously . It was Her First Day Here after all , She Had Only Met a Few People But She Really Had to Meet The Head Of Department
since, well The Lady is Her Boss .

"Pleasure is all mine, Matthew, and It's Gina..." She said offering a plate of cookies to her guests. Yes. Guests. "Well, there is a lot of correspondence needs to be caught up on with the African Wizarding Ministry. Letters to the Minister explaining our political stance on the pollution of the mermaid waters of Atlantis." She said and smiled. "Oh and think of a way to liven up the offices." She grinned.


"Hello Corrina, please, call me Gina..." She said with a giggle. "You are the new immigration officer? Great! There is a lot of paperwork that needs to be processed. Approve and reject the people who have applied to come live here. Cookie?" She said showing her the plate.

He was probably old-fashioned, but Matthew still didn't feel very comfortable to address his boss by her first name. But maybe it was just a matter of getting used to it. The cookies looked delicious, but Matt wasn't a fan of sweets, so he had to come up with a polite way to decline. 'They're excellent, I'm sure, but I'm one of the few people who don't like sweets. However, if you don't mind, I will take some to send to my family.' the man replied. 'Of course. I'll get working on those letters then.' Matthew was relieved that he finally found out what he had to do. But he frowned at the second part. 'Liven up the offices? Is this...a joke?' he asked, convinced that International Cooperation and interior decoration had nothing in common whatsoever.

Sarah walked into her boss's office. She had been waiting for a while but she undertood. her boss seem like she was very busy. Just like everyone here. After being away from London for a few years, she was glad to be back here. She was just now getting sittled into her husband's family's home. Belle Vue. "Sarah Spencer...Scott. Sorry I'm still not used to the name change yet." She laughed as her face flushed. "I've only been married a couple months, see." She played with her wedding band, a terrible habit she had picked up, since she started waring it. "Anyway." Quite ashamed that she had so quickly gotten off topic. "I've been assigned to as an Immigration Officer. I just wanted to know if there are any assignments that I need to do. "

Listening to Gina she said , " Oh alright , Gina " she smiled .
" Ok Ill Get to work Right away " Corrina Said , she really didn't want to mess up on her first day , Oh and The Lady Was Offering cookies , Everyone In This Department Had to Love The Department Head She was Really " Sweet " If You Knew What she Meant . " Thanks " She Said Grabbing a cookie and Biting it.
" Wow This is really good ! " Corrina Said In Amazement .

Esteban knocked on his Department Head's door. He wasn't sure if there was something else that he should be doing. Going back and forth from America seemed almost to good to be true for a job like this. He loved it after all, he was just hoping that he wasn't missing something.

And, he wasn't completely sure if they had actually met in person before he took his desk. Oh wait...yes they have, then maybe Esteban was here to remind her he was stil here?? Okay, he really didn't know why he was here.

A sudden flash of pale-violet appears in the office, and upon looking up, one can see that an interdepartmental memo in the form of a folded paper airplane has made its way in.

Once caught and unfolded, the memo inside will read:

Minister Berty Borr has called a mandatory meeting with the Senior Undersecretary and all Ministry Department Heads. The meeting will commence immediately in Courtroom 10 on the tenth level of the Ministry of Magic. Please be on time and bring with you all ideas and responses to the recent memo regarding the rejuvenating of our spirits and the oxygenating of our halls.

ooc: I'm going to pick up from here. Sorry for taking so long!

"Nope it's no joke." She said.

"Well Congratulations on your recent wedding. I believe you can start by going over all the papers of the people who want to immigrate here." She said sweetly.

Okay, he really didn't know why he was here.

"Come in! Oh Esteban! I'm sorry we didn't get to chat after the meeting." She said greeting him at her open door. "Come, have a cookie." she said.

Still a bit surprised at the task at hand, feeling that he was wasting his time with methods of livening up the offices when he should be working on international agreements and the like, Matthew couldn't help but emphatize with Gina, who had to face Lord Borr often. 'So how did the meeting go? Was the Minister satisfied with our proposals?' he asked his boss.

Esteban smiled at her and took a seat on the chair across from her. "That's okay, you're a busy woman." He took a cookie and nibble on it a little fideting in his chair like always. "I meant to give you the good news sooner, but time just seems to slip away from me." He said smiling again, he couldn't help it these days.

"I'm getting married!" He said nearly bouncing out of his chair, his life was perfect at the moment. He loved his job, his finacee, everything was just perfect.

"Meeting is still going on." She said.

"Congratulation!" She said to him. "you have the aura of someone really happy. Who's the lucky lady?" She asked.

"Thank you." He said in her repsonse to the congratulations. He couldn't help by to keep smiling. "Her Name is Jen Hill, she works in Transportation." He told Gina giving her some information about his future wife.

"We'd be honored if you'd attend the wedding, I think Jen is sending out invites soon, if she hasn't already." He said realzing that he probally should be more active in the wedding plannig, Jen probally needed help with it.

Nicole walked up to her boss' office and knocked on the door. She took a deep breath in and let it out. This was one of her first days at work and she wanted to get off with a good start.

"That's wonderful, Of course I'll be there!" She said pleasantly.

"Come in," She said towards the door.

"Merlin, I'm popular today. Come in, Come in" She said towards the door.

Elizabeth walked in and smiled. "Sorry to bother you but I am new here and I just wanted to introduce myself and meet you. I am Elizabeth Davis." Elizabeth said politely and smiled again.

"Excuse me, the minister has asked me to hang his portrait in you office," Becky said politely, holding out the large portrait.

"Nice to meet you Elizabeth, or do you go by Betty?" she asked.


"What?" She asked "I don't have a wall big enough. And who are you? Introduce yourself when you enter an office."

Nicole smiled and started walk towards the door. "Sorry to bother you, I'd just like to introduce myself since I'm new here. I'm Nicole Botts," She said still with a smile on her face, and her voice sounded polite.

"Either is fine."Elizabeth smiled

"Nice to meet you Nicole, I'm Gina, please call me Gina." She said shaking her hand.

"Well then Elizabeth, I'm Gina, I hope you'll like it here" She said nodding.

"Oh. Sorry. I'm Becky Patterson from the ministers office. On the job tas board, this was a request," she gulped, nervously.

"Oh for Merlin's sakes." She said standing from her desk. "I'm not mad at you dear, don't worry, I just... I'm going to hate looking at his... Lardness... day in and day out." She sighed and then said. "He told you to hang it up, hang it up, if you would though, do cover it with a sheet and affix a permanent sticking charm to the frame so the sheet will not fall off."

"I like it so far." Elizabeth smiled and laughed a little.

Elizabeth nodded. "I shall, in any way i can."

[QUOTE=Droo;10678408][COLOR="SlateBlue"]"Nice to meet you Nicole, I'm Gina, please call me Gina." She said shaking her hand.

Nicole smiled while shaking Gina's hand, "Its nice to meet you Gina."

"Good, well, you both get back to work, and check the task board." Until the strike that is... and Gina escorted them out of the door. "Bye ladies."

"Oh." Becky followed the instructions. She failed the sticking charm the first time, but corrected it the second. Becky summoned a sheet and threw it over the (not so pretty) portrait.

"Thank you Becky." She said smiling. "I appreciate it. You can now go back and tell Lard Butt err- I mean Lord Borr you completed your task."

"Th-thank you," Becky replied as she dashed out.

Esteban knocked on his Department Head's door. Things had been strange for him lately, he was feeling different about himself none the less and he felt the need to explain why he had been missing for the past few weeks and why he was ready to be back. Well, at least he hoped he was ready to do be back.

He was giving it his all anyway.

Esteban heard her sing come in..Some times that woman made him laugh. He smiled and stepped into Gina's office. He was kind of nervous to be here, after all her work performance wasn't so good over the last few weeks.

He smiled at her and sat down in the chair across from her desk. "Gina, how are you?" He asked still smiling, actually it felt good to be back, he knew this was where he belonged whether or not his wife....no don't think that way.

Esteban just then noticed the a portrait with a sheet covering it. "What is that?" He asked, not knowing who she would want to cover up in her office. He then turned back toward her thinking about how it was best to phrase this.

He wasn't even sure what was going on anymore, everything was different now, and in such a short time. "First off, I'm sorry I was gone for so long." He couldn't even remember how long it had been. So much had changed in the few weeks, months...well what ever it was.

"My wife and I are expecting a child." He said with not as much excitement as he should have, the joy of becoming a parent was masked by everything else that was going on. "Jen and I took so time off to be with our families, and she has..." Oh boy, Esteban wasn't really sure how to finish this. "To stay with them for the time being." He was giving his life story to his boss, but it was the only way to explain his lack of work over the past days.

"But I'm back, and ready to jump to." He added with a smile.

"Congratulations," she said clapping, "Children are such blessings, and don't worry about your time off, I'm glad you are ready to jump in. We'll be starting our strike soon! I hope to see you on that picket line."

Esteban had almost forgotten about what was going on at the Ministry. HE had too much other things to worry about that Lord what's his name taking of the ministry. He stood up and look at his boss. He was glad she was so understanding about his situation. "Thank you," He said in her response to her congratulations.

He turned to go, "Let me know if you need me to organize anything." He added with a smile. He would always be there to help Gina out.

It was only her second day at work, and already Nikki was confused.

Yesterday while making a cup of coffee in the break room, she had overheard a few employees talking about a a strike involving the minster. At first she had ignored it, presuming that it was just new employees trying to start some rumors. But as the day went went on it didn't seem like some silly, little rumor. She wondered why the employees would want to start such a commotion until she took a glance at her list of tasks.

Make robes for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement?! She had thought to herself. What do we look like? Madame Malkins Robe Shop?! And that wasn't all.

Deliver cookies to his office--explains why he's so round--and then go pick out a rug for him? And did he really refer to their Department Head as 'The Old Woman'?

Nikki had decided that she would have to ask 'The Old Woman' about a few things to clear things up. Besides, it also gave her the chance to introduce herself. So, with her steaming cup of coffee in one hand, Nikki knocked on the door three times, and waited for a response.

Gina walked out of her office and affixed the sign to her door:

http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m...298/STOP-1.jpg
Stop by the sign making station and make a sign, write a motto, then join us on the picket line!

"Oh my, Nikki! I'm sorry, but I'm on my way to the Strike! Come join me and we can discuss things on the picket line!" Gina said and hurried off.

Turning at the sound of Gina's voice, Gavin entered the office. "No, thank you, I've just eaten lunch myself." he said in reply. Though the Lobster Bisque did look and smell wonderful! Waiting for Katrina to reply he looked around the office with his eyes, taking it all in. He hadn't been in there yet, that he could remember anyway. He'd moved from level 9 to level 5 from one office to the other.

"We were a little concerned that we'd not seen you since the strike." he said turning back to his department head. "Everything alright?"

Katrina stood next to Gavin as he looked around the office. If she hadn't already eaten that lobster bisque would being eating at her insides.

She nodded at Gavin's concern. "It was like you disappeared."

She sat at her desk and moved her soup and baguette to the side. "I'm sorry you won't be able to partake, but I must say, I'm glad... more for me." She giggled. She listened to her employees and smiled. "I have been out a sick. My little dip in the fountain didn't do anything good for my joints and I caught a cold." She said nodding. "It's sweet you both noticed. But I'm here and fine now."

A smile flickered across his face as she giggled saying more for her. Though she gave an explanation he still showed concern in his face. The fountain hadn't been good for her at all, and he had wished she'd gone home to recover but knew nothing would have stopped his department head from standing by her employees side at the picket line. Smiling he nodded.

"We got word from Perry in France that a group has been selling fake portkeys." Gavin began regarding their true reason for being there. "He's asked for my help particularly since I've helped in the past with busting these false sales. Miss Windsor-Beaumont here and I have some ideas of how to go about trying to bust this wide open."

A dip in the fountain? Katrina's eyes widened. She had missed that part. She was only able to be at the picket line a little bit, due to her having to get her siblings and the dance and orchestra concert. Her schedule had been jammed pack that entire time, so it was a little hard to protest with everyone else. No matter how much she wished she could have.

She listened as Gavin started talking. Cringing at 'Miss Windsor-Beaumont' (mental note: tell him to never call her that), she continued with what he was saying. "We were thinking," she started. "That we could pretend to be a married couple with children and wanted to go on a family vacation." There, that sounded well put together, hopefully.

"Are you two not on a first name basis? Katrina. Call her Katrina." She turned to the woman and said "Right? I mean it's silly for such formalities in this office when I ask everyone to call me Gina." She said.

...

"With children?" She asked and blinked. "Uhmmm... I would rather not risk something to happen to someone's kids." She giggled, "Is this a way to get an all expense paid vacation?"

He saw the cringe and winced as he did. He hadn't meant to make her cringe, but didn't know if Gina would have approved otherwise. Then when Gina spoke, he winced again, ok maybe that was alright then. He'd apologize later to Katrina, he'd just wanted to keep it businesslike...

Nodding at Katrina's addition to what he'd said he turned back to Gina. Shaking his head quickly he spoke up "No, not at all. I'd never want to risk the children in any possible dangerous situation!" Smiling at her joke about expenses paid vacation he shook his head again. "Our plan was...is to go down to France and work with Perry to set this up. We'd go posing as a couple to purchase some portkeys to take our children on a vacation with."

"If they ask about the children, we're planning on having a picture done with Ms...Katrina's youngest siblings and ourselves." It sounded about right didn't it? Glancing over at Katrina he added "If all goes well we should be able to catch a few of those that are in this business quickly. If not..."

Katrina smiled and blushed ever so slightly at Gina's comment. She noded her head at Gina's comment. "'Miss Windsor-Beaumont' just doesn't fit me very well." she said. 'Windsor' was just a ridiculous part of her name anyway.

"Absolutely not!" she exclaimed. "I could never do that." Especially to her own siblings. "We figured a picture would be more reliable than just stating that we had children. Anyone could just say they have kids." she said gesturing with her arms as she spoke.

"Alright then." She said and ate a little soup. "You all go... but be careful, I would hate for something to happen to you. Oh, and be sure to show me that picture! How cute would you two be as a couple!" They weren't... were they?

Sighing inwardly in relief when Gina approved their plan. He nodded "I wi...we will." If he had the power he would do all he could to protect Katrina without hesitation. But he wouldn't be stupid about it either. Smiling as she asked them to show her the picture his eyes widened at the last bit of sentence though. Did she already know??? Trying to keep his face neutral he wasn't doing all that great of a job, his face having flushed a bit as he glanced over at Katrina.

"We'll make sure to bring you the picture to see." he said trying to keep his voice steady.

Katrina's eyes widened ever so slightly at Gina's comment. Had she figured it out already? She glanced over at Gavin to see that he glanced at her and she blushe as well. He was trying to keep his face and voice steady. Their reactions probably gave away an answer to her comment.

"Thank you Gina. We will go and not keep you from your lunch." She said standing up and smiling at her boss.

"Be careful my dears, and write me up a report of what you've done!" She said excitedly.

He'd noticed Katrina's eyes when Gina spoke and her glance at him. Well, they hadn't agreed or denied it, so as long as Gina didn't ask directly, they would leave it at that. Well they hadn't really done anything, they'd not even talked about it. They'd gone on one date and that was it, and really was it a date? They'd just gone to lunch during work...

His gaze went quickly back to his department head as she spoke. "We will keep you posted. We have a bit left to do, but should be on our way within a few days." Looking at Katrina again as he rose from his seat, "Anything else to add?"

Katrina stood behind her chair and waited for Gavin. Smiling at Gina she said, "I think everything has been covered." She just hoped the plan worked and that they fell for the family act. Glancing quickly at her watch, she noticed that she had to go get her siblings. "I'm sorry to cut this short, but I do have to go. Thank you for listening, Gina." She smiled and looked at Gavin.

Lola awkwardly stumbled into the office of her Dept. Head. Lola had been absorbed in another fantasy and had been paying little attention, other than the general direction in which she was headed. Oh darn! Should have knocked. Too late for that now. Waiting Area! There was a waiting area! Lola, why can't you be normal, stop having daydreams and don't lose your job! "Hello." Lola managed awkwardly whilst scratching her head. "Sorry, I uh -" don't tell her you spend your life daydreaming- she's your boss! Stupid Lola. "Sorry, I should have knocked." she pointed to the door apologetically.

Looked like she'd been accepted into the right department. The head seemed nice enough at least. "Sorry ma'am I just thought I'd introduce myself, I'm Lola Golightly. And I'm new here, and I just thought I might say that I'm very proud to have joined this department." Lola said nervously.

"Right, I was the one who hired you." She said opening her arms greeting her. "Welcome Lola, welcome." She said and then shook her hand. "You let me know if you need anything."

Lola shook her hand. "Thanks. Is there anything I can do for you?" Lola asked.
