Gavin got to his feet figuring it was as good a time as any to step up for introductions as Wes and Calla glanced around the office. He knew what it was like as a new man in amongst all the women of the department, even if he himself had only been there a little over an month.

"Hello Wes, I'm Gavin McNally," he introduced as he approached the group of three surrounding the glasses. His own curiosity present when there was something new around.

Abigail blinked. Bug-Eye whaaaat? She took the thing from Calla and examined it. "It lets you see from all sides? That's quite interesting," she replied. "And, Level Seven. I'm going to make a quick note of that." She scurried over to her desk. Placing the weird looking invention on top of her desk, she took her pen and scribbled 'Level 7' on a little notepad she had lying there.

"They probably would," she replied. "Why don't you try them out?" She picked the invention back up and offered it back to Calla.

Upon hearing a knock on the door, Abigail thought it was the guy coming back and asking if they were done testing the invention. Though, that thought all changed when a guy came waltzing in like he OWNED the place. When the man introduced himself, she came to the conclusion that he did - in fact - own the place.

"New Department Head?" She repeated what the guy just said. What the heck happened to Ben?! She leaned herself against the front of her desk like she had done previously and then said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Wes. I'm Abigail Weather, but do call me Abby. I'm the Division Head for this office." There was no way she was going to stand there and recite the name of the office. It was too long!

Calla's eyes got big, "Oh! I'd love too!" She took it from her boss, loooked around the room and then placed them on her face.

She opened her eyes, "WOOOOOOOOOO!" She pulled them off her eyes a bit, "Wow, that would take some getting use to." She gave a thoughtful expression and pushed them back up on her face.

Blinking a couple times she tried to get use to the magnification. All of a sudden she realized she could see almost all the way around her. Her line of vision nearly went all the way behind her.

She turned a bit and tried to concentrate on things that were father away in the office, she notice nail holes in the far wall, looking around further she noticed out the window there were some people fighting on the street, turning her eyes back to inside the office she noticed at Abby's feet there was a huge creepy crawly bug!

She whipped the glasses off her head, readjusting her eyes and looking at Abby's feet. She couldn't see a bug any longer. "Wow, Abby those are crazy cool. You can see all sorts of things." Calla opted not to tell her about the bug.

Ryan, was on the third floor walking through the corridor whistling a slow but happy melody while he merely observed everybody he saw regardless of the fact that there was a possibility that his gaze might annoy them. Hopefully there were not much people wandering around on the third floor or he did not encounter someone who would like to try and pick on the unfamiliar blondie.

Taking a straight turn he walked in the office where they worked, the door was already open and...ah ''Hello! I'm Ryan Chambers from Level Nine. In case you just felt like 'wow who is that bloke!''' he laughed, waved and nodded at everyone. He was not expecting that it could be this crowded inside, hmm, not that he cared about it. ''And..um... I wish a good day to everyone. The air here...'' he literally smelled the air ''...smells content and busy so i won't take much of your time. Now if you excuse me...''

His light blue eyes searched Gavin inside the office, stopped for a moment on Calla, then went back in searching. Ah, there he was... He took a few steps inside the office and pointed at him. ''Ah, Mr McNally'' he began politely cleaning his throat ''I wanted to represent to your precious awareness that i have a wish of speaking to you some time. If you think it's...well...convenient''

Gavin watched as Calla tried on the glasses, a little curious as to what she was seeing exactly especially as her eyes passed him seeing as he had heard a bit of what they were supposedly able to do. Not a time to wonder what I look like under a sort of microscope.

He didn't have much time to dwell on them though as another man walked through the office door with more then a bit of fanfare and this one wasn't at all wanted. Gavin inwardly groaned as he spotted Ryan even before the other man introduced himself and when he focused on him of all people the former Grfyfindor didn't at all like where things were going.

Why oh why does he have to show up he complained to himself. And right now right in front of both my bosses.

"What in the world do you want Ryan?" he asked trying not to sound to frustrated as he walked towards the man in question to cut him off at the past. His movements almost unconsciously put himself between the annoyance and Calla, certainly not allowing Ryan anywhere near her after what he pulled.

Tallin grinned at Calla with a knowing smile.He knew he had come across as a bit forward but hey, that was his persona to speak of.He looked at her as she looked a little uncomfortable and realised he'd probably embarressed her a little and that wasnt what he wanted at all.He glanced around the room at the ever curious Gavin with a small nodd in his direction.


Within the next few seconds,everyone was slightly bemused and all a bit on there toes. Tallin caught a flash of a camera and turned at the comosion."What the-?" and a bubbly sort of hyperative man bounced into the room displaying a wide grin and an eagerly introduced himself.Tallin took a deep breath and got to his feet."Ahh what the hell, Hi, Im Tallin,nice to meet you"he said with a short nodd and a friendly smile.The look on Abbys face said it all. She was just as shocked as everyone else about this new bloke and his new position in the department.He glanced at Ryan and watched everyone elses reactions to this new employee.

Calla smiled at Tallin again, he was nice enough – and if he had asked sooner she would have gone on a date with him. But he didn’t, and she was very happy with Gavin. She could tell he felt bad maybe even embarrassed. “If you wanted we could have lunch some time.” No it wouldn’t be a date, just a simple lunch getting to know him. All she knew of him was his name was Tallin.

Her stomach turned as she heard a familiar voice. What in Merlin’s name did he want? She couldn’t help but let out an audible groan and an obvious eye roll. She wanted to snap at him and tell him he had no business on this level. The last time he was on this floor he slipped her a love potion, and before that he sent creepy chocolates to her. But before she could say anything he approached Gavin. Oh no, what could this be about? Calla became worried.

Yes Gavin had punched him in the nose…. Twice. But he deserved it both times. Anyone around him for more than a minute knew that. Calla notice Gavin move so that he was positioned between her and Ryan, she was ok wit that.

The air in the office felt awkward. And why did Ryan have to come up now, in front of Wes and Abby – Could this not wait?

"Nice to meet all of you," Wes said with a grin. FINALLY he found some males that he could relate to in the office! He had been really worried for a while that it had been all females. Yes, it was an irrational fear.

He turned around when another guy walked in the office....okkkkk, who was this? He didn't seem like he belonged there. Ryan Chambers...yes, he didn't belong here. Level 9? What was it with all these Mysteries people coming up here today? First Dora, now Ryan?

"Very nice to meet you Ryan...is there something we can assist you with?" he asked, deciding that it was best to go the polite route. He looked over at...Gavin, was it?...and gave him a bit of a head nod indicating that he had his permission to go chat with him if it was so urgent. However, he couldn't help but notice that things seemed a little...awkward in here. Drama on his first day of work?

Ryan carefully watched Gavin as he approached him. One did not need to be a Psychologist or body language reader like him to understand the other man's hostility however Ryan was determined to perform what he aimed. And the first step to that was ease this hostility and make it vanish afterwards which was the hardest but not impossible. Without a single change on his smiling expression, the blond man smelled the air again and looked at everyone in the room ''Oh, did i say content...There's a little distortion to that, little tough, i'm sure it'll go away if you open the window and let the fresh air inside''

Then fixing his gaze back on Gavin, he opened his mouth to answer his not-so-kind question but closed it when one of the other men in the room responded to his greeting. So, ignoring Gavin for a moment he focused his attention on that man and he had to ignore Calla's open hostility as well, while he did. ''Thank you, Tallin. It's nice to meet you, too. You seem to be a reliable, confident man. That's good but be very careful with what you eat.. Ehem'' all right, back on Gavin ''I though i have just made this clear enough for everyone to understand Mr. McNally. I'll be awaiting your owl at the Leaky Cauldron.'' nodding and smiling again he turned around but stopped when someone else spoke as well.

''No, thanks but...'' he looked around the room ''If you are leading this deparment so as it looks like you do, sir, i advise you to paint the walls in a brighter and cleaner tone and make the employees work on orange colour layered folders so they will be more focused on their jobs instead of each other, colours play a very important role in human behaviour and mental state'' with a last smile and nod he stepped backwards to the door ''Sorry for my little interruption. Good day to you all...again'' the next moment he made his way back down to the Level Nine.

Gavin could feel the ackwardness of the room as well as hear Calla's groan as he stood there waiting for Ryan's answer. Catching Wes' nod of allowance, he relaxed just a little knowing at least he had permission to talk to the man. Not like it helped much.

He remained calm as Ryan starred at him looking about to speak when he turned his attention to Tallin, taking the snub and ignoring in stride used to the other man's behavior by now. So sure of himself that he assumes Tallin was speaking to him he thought to himself.

Attention brought back to him Gavin wanted to roll his eyes at Ryan for going through all the trouble to come up here just to tell him that he wanted to speak with him. Forget my owl to the Leaky an interoffice memo would have worked better then to barge into our..my place of work he inwardly grumbled correcting himself when he had absently included Calla in his mind knowing she was as uncomfortable as himself.

He was more then happy to see him turn away as if to leave almost wanting to glare at Wes for giving Ryan ammo to stay and comment but he could hardly to that to his new boss and get away with it. Ignoring his comments about the running of the office Gavin unconsciously tensed as it almost seemed as if the other man was going to reveal his and Calla's relationship to everyone else. Closing his eyes with a sigh when Ryan was gone and out of sight.

Abigail grinned. "So, they work? That's good to know," she said as Calla tried out the lenses. "I'm going to test them out tomorrow and then maybe head down to Level 7."

She wandered back over to her desk to write something down until a paper airplane flew in the room and landed right on the notepad she was about to write on. Hmmm. Grabbing the paper and opening it, she scanned the letter and then looked at the people in the office. "I...I need to go," she announced. "Umm, I'll work on these lenses tomorrow. Calla, just sit them on my desk before you leave for today." She grabbed her purse and then looked back at Wes. "It was a pleasure meeting you, Wes," she added before dashing out the door.

Calla watched Gavin and Ryan speak. Ryan was soo annoying! She was glad he was gone. Her attention turned back to Abby and the glasses. "Of course Abby, I hope everything is alright."

Calla pushed her hair behind her, walked over to Abby's desk and put the glasses down on top of the note she wrote previously.

She made her way back to her desk and glanced at the clock on the wall. "Oh you all it's well past quitting time!" She smiled. "Wes it was wonderful meeting you!" She didn't say anything more specific to any one else. (Except a small wink toward Gavin). Have a fabulous evening everyone!

She rendered a quick wave and then slipped out the door.

Wes smiled. Hmmm, that poor Gavin fellow seemed very tense about having to go talk to that Ryan guy...maybe Wes should have told that bloke to go away? But...he had only be doing what he thought Gavin would want!

Apparently he was...wrong?

"Well, I'll leave you to finish with your bug glasses," he said with a smile as people started dispersing. "I'll be in my office if anyone needs me!" he added before turning on his heel and exiting the room.

Tallin grinned a little at Calla.She looked a little flushed,but maybe that was because of all the excitment that was going on in the department.Or maybe it was because of the very awkward almost painful stare Gavin was giving her.Either way,he nodded politely and turned back to Ryan."Name a date Calla"he said with a gentle smile."Its been a while since Ive had any sort of social life"he said,shaking his head,not being able to remember the last time he had been able to relax and talk about something other than work.What a great reflexion on his life that was. Pft.

He nodded at Ryan.Everyone seemed so hostile to him.He didnt really understand why,but maybe there had been something before Tallin had joined the department.Something involving Ryan and Gavin perhaps. The look Gavin was displaying definately suggested some sort of hostility.He shook of his thoughts and theorys as he was starting to get the feeling he was in some sort of detective film.He nodded at Ryan."Any time you need some help,you know where I am"he said in a friendly mannor.He knew how awkward it was coming to talk to intimidating people.To say the least anyway.He smiled at Wes and nodded.He seemed nice enough,but then again so did everyone.Odd

With a little miniature box in his hands, Samuel McDean walked down the hallway of Level 3. He hasn't stepped foot on this level in yearssss. As he passed by doors, he read the little nameplates on them and when he came across the one that said 'The Office of the Invisibility Task Force and Experimental Charms Committee', he stopped walking. Since when did the two Divisons merge? He thought to himself as he examined the nameplate. Misty had told him the opening was for the Invisibility Task Force, not the Invisibility Task Force AND The Experimental Charms Committee. Ah, well.

He walked into the almost empty office and breathed in a big breath of air. It felt good to be back! Sam looked around at the desks and assumed the one in the front of the office was his. Walking over to it, he placed the box on the desk. "Uh, hello," he greeted the few people in his office. "I'm Samuel McDean...the new Division Head. Call me Sam." Right, now he had to unpack his belongings. He looked back at the desk and was about to open the box until he saw two little sticky notes and some kind of invention on his desk. Whaaaat? He picked the sticky notes up and read them: one read 'Level 7' and the other one said 'Bug eyed lenses'. Weird. Folding the sticky notes up, he placed them in his shirt pocket. He would investigate that later as well as that weird looking invention.

He finally opened up his box to reveal many things: parchment, quills, ink, muggle pens and pencils, a photo of his bothers and his half-sister, and his Shakespeare action figure. Slowly, he began to unpack his belongings. It didn't really take a long time considering there wasn't a lot in the box. The last thing he placed on his desk was the Shakespeare action figure and it was propped up against the picture of him and his 4 brothers.

He closed the box back up and then placed it under his desk before heading towards the door. He DID need to meet the Department Head, right? Before he fully left the office, he took his wand out of his pocket (which was the place he normally kept it) and gave it a little swish towards his desk. Now the Division Head's desk was orange. Can't you tell orange was his favorite color?

He placed his wand back into his pocket before leaving the office.

Calla opened the large door and slipped in. Her red hair stood out against her blue dress With out looking around she let out a cheery “Good morning!” She strolled all the way to the desk and placed her bag down.

She glanced at Abby's desk, something seemed different about it... Mostly that little figurine. She eyed it for a moment longer, not sure what that was about but then took a seat in her chair and began to work.

Having left the rather ackward scene around the maintenance closet in the lower level, Gavin made his way back upstairs, thankfully not too much later then he would have usually gotten into work. He smiled seeing Calla had arrived in his absence and glad to see the rest of the weekend had been a bit better then their dangerous meeting with a werewolf. "Good morning," he greeted as he passed her desk to reach his own.

the woman was scared and trying to figure out what was going on, Why were these people wearing werid robes, and talking about "Muggles?" "What were muggles" she kept thinking. She thought she was totally under-dressed no matter what. Then a peice of paper started flying towards her and almost hit her head. "AHHHHH, someone help me, this paper is chasing me"... she cried for help, as she ran into the next door, which had something written on it, but it made no sense to her. What was going on. Why wasn't she at home with her dog marley?

Calla smiled as Gavin walked passed. Before she could control the sound of her voice she let a very sweet "Good morning" To anyone that would have heard it would have understood the tone to be that of a personal relationship - not a work related one. Thank goodness no one was in the office, until...

Calla's eyes widened as a woman scurried through the door complaining about paper chasing her. The memo's landed themselves on Abby's desk. She jumped up and went straight for the woman, wand not drawn but close at hand. "Calm down, the paper's aren't chasing you. Those are memos, for Abby. See they landed on her desk?" (She was still unaware that Abby had been replaced by Sam) She pointed to the parchment now laying flat on her desk.

Calla had never seent his woman before, and obviously this woman wasn't from the ministry - obviously if she were she'd know about the flying memos. She looked to Gavin for help. "Ok dear, lets start from the top." She placed her hand on the woman's shoulder and guided her to a desk. "I'm Calla, this is Gavin. What's your name?"

Gavin heard her returning greeting with a polite smile not hearing anythinf real different with her tone seeing as it meerly appeared the same as she always was towards him...at least lately. He was about to sit down at his desk when a woman appeared in the office appearing vexed and confused, stopping his downward movement as he raised a curious eyebrow so he could help if need be.

As Calla introduced him to the woman that did look just a little familiar as if seen around the ministry, Gavin felt okay to approach the two but not too close as if to risk scaring the woman further by being surrounded. He tried to keep from frowning since it appeared as if the weird situations surrounding them didn't seem to be slowing down any time soon.

WHERE was this new Division Head?

Wes had been planning on meeting up with him earlier that morning, but due to complications his alarm had failed to go off at the right time he had just missed the new guy. As he entered the Experimental Charms office, he glanced around but saw no new face among the regular employees.

"Don't mind me, just looking for the new Division head...BLIMEY! What the bloody hell did he do to his desk?" he asked, wrinkling his blonde brows as he stared at it. He had turned it ORANGE!

Then, his attention was drawn to the small people in the office...Calla and Gavin were there, obviously, since they worked in the office, but Tasha was there too...probably paying a visit. However, something was off--she seemed upset about something.

"Tasha, are you alright?" he asked. Having not been present for her panic attack over the memos, it seemed to him that she was just having a small anxiety attack. He was no stranger to that--his mum had them randomly, especially after his father had died.

"Tasha, whos Tasha?" she asked. Why couldn't she remember her name. "do.. you ...know me.." she said shakely, why were the memo's flying around. why were the people starting to freak out like her.? She also looked at the desk and it scared her even more. "Can't I just go home with my dog marley and watch some t.v like i was doing before, I don't even know how I got here, and I've been seeing werid things, Am I going crazy?" she started to sob even tho she was trying to talk.

[ooc:just leaving work, please wait about 1 hour for me to reply, i have a long commute. you can post, its just I want to be here for the replying ahahah thx]

Calla was still trying to calm the woman, when Wes walked in. She looked to him and wondered how much weirder was this morning going to get. And what did he just say, 'new division head'? What in Merlin's name was he talking about? She looked to the desk, now being fully aware realizing not only the figurine, but the pictures and more obvious the orange desk. She didn't have time to question this right now.

"Wes, so glad you're here. Oh you know her?" Her face was now not as puzzled. She now knew the woman had to be a witch, not a muggle that some how found their way in here. "Well, seeing as though you know her then I'd say she's been hexed, or poisoned. She came in here worried that papers were chasing her?" Calla looked back at the woman, she looked completely lost - if not physically certainly mentally...

The woman spoke again, "Surely, you'll be able to go home very shortly. We just need to figure out how you got here." Calla figured that would might hold her off a bit, until they could figure things out.

Samuel had forgotten how good the cafeteria's coffee was until he had actually went and got himself a cup of it. It was delicious!

While sipping on the coffee, he into the office to see a room with people inside of it. Yay, people! He didn't get to meet much of his employees yesterday since most of them had went home when he came and got settled in. His eye scanned the room until he landed on one particular person.

"Is she...okay?" He asked.

When Wes walked in and called the unknown woman by name, Gavin's thoughts about her being familiar were confirmed. Obviously she worked for another one of the divisions of Level 3. He stayed quiet as Calla worked on calming her...Tasha down his own mind trying to work out what could be wrong, for certainly if she worked for the ministry she shouldn't be scared of the interoffice memos she had claimed were chasing her.

Gavin looked over at the door as another man walked in while he leaned slightly against a nearby desk, this one new and unreconizable. "We are trying to figure that out since she seems to think she doesn't belong here."
