Helena listened to what Jacob was saying about the invitations and such ... Great ... Just what we need, deadlines and an information sheet full of nothing... Helena jotted down some quick notes on her parchment, before looking up at Jacob again, understanding everything that he'd said. She looked around at everyone else breifly, before looking back at Jacob for if he carried on talking.

ooc: DEEP BREATHS ALANNA.

Eteria took down some notes when Jacob started speaking. They were basically trying to plan something without a whole lot of information. Hopefully the Greek minister would be attending since he always had a huge interest in Quidditch from what Eteria could remember. "So basically we're just preparing for all possible ministers to attend this until we get a definite list?"

Laura quietly listened to what Jacob had to say.she noted down a few points on her parchment and looked up when Eteria asked a question.

A paper airplane flies into the room and comes to a rest on your desk, unfolding and smoothing out to reveal...

Foreign ministers? Hopefully Turkish Minister would come too. That'd be so cool! Birce just listened though, for there was obviously nothing particular to be written down. She could work as a translator. Wonder if they'll invite Turkish Minister.

Someone sneaks down the corridor and sticks this to the wall with the following message flashing across it:

Join us as we stand up for Beings and Beasts Rights!Don't give into the injustice. Stand up and walk out for what you believe. Join the hundreds of Wizarding Workers who are opposed the Ministry's prejudice against those who are different! There will be a mass walk out on Saturday at 4 p.m. to show your support for those who have none. Take to the streets of Diagon Alley and stand up for what is right!

Jacob took a long, fortifying drink of Earl Grey. "Basically, yeah," he said apologetically.

Jacob gave a sidelong glance at the flier that had plopped nearby. Oh dear. He quickly scanned it and read it aloud to his employees before sending it zooming to the bulletin board. He sighed inwardly, not sure what he felt about those restrictions. Unfortunately, each exclusion had a solid reason backing it up.

SPOILER!!: FlierTwo

Frowning, Jacob watched another flier zoom it, and frowned deeper when it pinned itself over the Ministry decrees. "What is this?" he said, annoyed. Waling over, he tore it from the wall, and came back, reading it carefully. He sighed with exasperation. This reaction was expected, but Jacob wasn't about to go against what the Ministry had decided.

"Just one more thing," Jacob said, "and then I'll let you all go. I need a list of who will do what. Each of you needs to tell me whether you'd like to design the invitation layout or write the actual invitation."

Jacob held the flier tightly in one hand as he waited for the gathered witches and wizards to decide what they wanted to do. Internally, Jacob was debating what to do about this complication. The Quiddtich World Cup would be difficult enough to plan without any rebellions.

Eteria was fairly apathetic when it came to the rights of magical creatures. She was a witch, not a werewolf or a magical creature so who was she to decide their rights? Walkouts and such things wouldn't be needed if witches and wizards just let the beasts and beings decide for themselves what rights they want.

Instead of worrying about beasts and beings, she worried about these invitations they had to make for the Ministry. She wasn't the most eloquent person ever but she knew how to make something look good. "Jacob I want to help design the invitations."

Laura read through the filers and thought
Merlin's beard what are these people trying to do staging a walk out and going against the ministry? she thought.though she was for equal rights of the magicla creatures and beasts but things can be resolved at much better level like talks,staging a walk out and being a rebel wouldnt give them the answers and not when the ministry is busy wth the upcoming QWC.and what if the other countries got a whim of rebels going on in our country,their prespective towards our country will change.Laura shook her head.
this can have an effect on our international relations too she thought
Looking up Laura said
um...Jacob i can help with the text for the invitations she was not at all good at designing or any art work.

Helena listened to Jacob talk, and then glanced at the two fliers that had come into the room. As much as she'd like to worry about the were-wolf rebellion, she just couldn't right now. She listened to Eteria and Laura offer to do jobs. Hmm. Which am I better at? ... Helena looked at Jacob "I'll help out with the design of the invitations, too Jacob." Helena was better at that kind of stuff see...

Laura turned and smiled at Helena and then deep down her stomach grumbled
ah,helena we have to visit the leaky cauldron fast,i am starving she thought and chuckled.Laura busied herself with thinking about what she would include in the invitation when she asked
um...Jacob.i well i will need to know the exact date,time and venue for the beginning of the matches for the invitation. and um...any idea as to how many days will the QWC will take place?
and um...i have another doubt she said slowly looking through the notes that she wrote during the meeting.
um...do we have to work on the itenary of the ministers too? she asked

Cornelius walked up to the Division heads door. He knocked on it. He was excited to meet the division head and find out if he had any assignments and to get filled in on what was going on in the division.

And there were this huge candy house standing in front of Hansel and Birce. It looked yummy. Birce was the first one to get a bite, mmmm... Birce suddenly snapped back to reality, only to hear people 'helping' with stuff. Whaaa? She caught Laura's questions. Exact date and time. Quidditch World Cup. Invitations.

"I can help wit the... to Laura." Smiile... Heheh. If you're lucky enough, they won't realise you weren't listening, and you can understand what's going on. Fail. She just couldn't pay attention for a very long time to long English speeches.

Laura looked back at Birce and smiled and gave a nod.
yeah it would be nice to work with her.
but i need to be careful she gets upset quickly Laura thought thinking about what happened before the meeting began

Xavier Vindictive walked into the department of magical cooperations conference room. New to the job and not knowing what to do, he decided to sit on a random seat and watched as many people were about. They spoke of many things, such as wolves, and books, but he paid no mind to it. As the minutes passed he realized he wasn't getting much done and it didn't look good for him to lolly gag on his first day on the job. He sprang to his feet and went by a small group of girls identified as Laura, Eteria, and Helena. He smiled his best smile and looked his best look when he said "Hey, ladies, can I be of any assistance?" He was told often that he looked EXACTLY like that Kellan Lutz guy who plays Emmett Cullen on the Twilight Saga. He expected to hear the same upon meeting these women. And so he awaited patiently for the women to respond with looks of gaga eyes, and stuttering words, as usual.

Helena looked up as someone spoke. She looked at him and tried not to snort. He had to be the ... weirdest looking male wizard alive. She raised an eyebrow at his question and looked to Jacob, with a look that said 'who the heck is this guy? ... He doesn't have a department badge on or anything ... is he even meant to be here?' She looked back at the weird man. "Well, I don't know. I suppose that would depend on who you are. You wouldn't speak to any of us about assisting us though - Jacob Webster is the Division Head here. He's the one you should speak to, not me, not Eteria, not Birce, not Laura. Jacob." She said curtly to the man and then looked over to Jacob, wondering why he was being so quiet. Helena glanced at Laura and Birce to see if they were giving this weirdo the fan girlish attention he was obviously hoping for. Well he should learn a little thing about almost 40 year olds such as Helena - they don't googly eye over men that they aren't married to.

Laura giggled at the scene in front.the guy was too over confident for a new employee.she looked at Helena and then winked and smirked.Laura obviously doesnt fall for a guy like this one in front,who seemed to be far too over confident.she stayed silent and waited for Jacob to take over the scene.it was a bit awkward.the silence was sort of killing them.she looked at the guy in front of who was looking up at them,she gave a smile out of courtesy and then started writing something in her notepad.she would have been really good to him if he hadnt approached the way he approached.

Birce sighed in relief when Laura nodded. So she had been right on her assumptions, they were doing invitations. She went over Laura to get the main idea. Just as she was about to ask 'What are we going to do now?' another man walked in. At first, Birce didn't pay attention. Though when he walked up to them, totally ignoring Birce, she wrinkled her nose. He could have been nice, if he weren't rude and didn't ignore her. Seriously, was Birce too small to be ignored? She didn't think so with a height of 1.70 cm. Maybe she looked unimportant or something. Hmpf. And she'd ignored him right back.

Helena acted before her though, giving him the answer. She had to bite her lips not to giggle. And then still on her plan, she asked Laura "So, eh... How will we do the invitations?" Surely that's answer would enlighten Birce on what they were supposed to do? Or what she had just volunteered for.

Laura smiled as Birce came upto her and made dragged another chair for her.she noticed her reaction to the guy who had just walked up to them.she looked at Birce and whispered as they saw Helena looking at Jacob to come and talk to the new person
hm...quite a scene
but getting her normal voice back she said
well we will just sort of work on what text we will write on the invitations,Helena and Eteria said they would do the designing of the invitations.
i have asked Jacob about some details and after we get them we can soon work over them,but till then we can do some framework for the text.
what's say? Laura said raising her eyebrow and smiling.

Eteria raised a brow at this man who walked in acting like he owned the place or something. Small bits of arrogance were hot but total cockiness was not to Eteria. This guy was obviously overcompensating for something but since he had the audacity to carry himself in this manner, she was going to play with him because telling him off would just be too boring.

"I don't know. Can you? I mean someone as dazzling as yourself could possibly have better ideas than us ladies. We obviously need someone as cute as you." Hopefully the other girls wouldn't get mad at her for toying with the egotistical boy.

Laura was talking to Birce about the text ideas when she heard Etria speak.she listened to her talk and raised an eyebrow at Birce and tried to bite her lip to stop giggling.it was turning out to be an interesting day.
poor guy so much for being over confident she thought.she saw Etria look at her she smirked and winked and went back to see what Birce had to say about the text idea.

After approaching the girls, he realized he was being rejected and did not fancy the feeling he obtained from it. He frowned innocently and said "ok well, I guess ill go... ummm... away.. I guess." He hung his head in shame and began to leave, but before he vanished her turned around to face all the women and said "Im obviously new here and I sincerely just wanted to help..... actually it would've been me helping you, help me....." he paused. "Well good day ladies" he finished, then staggered off feeling like a wounded animal, and in front of Jacob the Division Head. "uumm... are you the department head? ... Sir ?" he was unsure wether to shake his hand or wait for his reply. Firmly he grabbed the mans hand and began to introduce himself. "Hi, Im Xavier Vindictive, I've been recruited here recently and I need someone to go over procedures with me."

Helena looked at Eteria as she decided to play along with the man and tried not to smirk at him. She raised a humorous eyebrow at Eteria and shook her head, laughing quietly. She followed the man with her eyes as he took her advice and went to speak to Jacob. Oh my gods... He really does seem to think he owns the place, doesn't he? Helena looked to Birce and gave her a look that said 'We really do not want a boy like this on the team. He'll try to over take everything. Trust me.'

Laura looked up when the guy spoke.she eyed him carefully.
aw... she thought and smiled and shook her head
mate if you had been a bit more normal and talked as if you didnt own this place,we might have talked to you properly she thought.she watched him go and meet Jacob.she heard his name as Xavier Vindictive.Laura looked at Helena who had some kind of an expression which Laura understood well,she just nodded her head just to indicate that she understood what Helena meant
surely you were vindictive,Mr.Vindictive she thought and shook her head and tried to concentrate on her work at hand

Aw, the poor boy was wounded. How sad but he kind of had it coming. Karma wasn't exactly kind to the extremely arrogant. Eteria knew this very well from her days before coming to the Ministry. Pulling her hair back she looked over at Helena and shook her head. "So how do you think we should design these invitations? I"m thinking something formal but not too formal considering that this is a sporting event."
