Fourth Level Corridor Outside the offices of hardworking Creatures personnel is the forth level corridor. Upon closer inspection, some interesting aspects can be noted such as the terrarium. So, go ahead, go for a stroll. OOC: All Ministry of Magic employees, regardless of their assigned department, are welcome to create their own roleplay in this thread. |
He walked hurriedly along the corridor carrying with him a neat stack of folders. It was time to make his rounds to the different departments. A quill floated behind him drifting at a slower rate than he charmed it to and drip-dropped perfectly timed droplets of black ink. Claudian stopped. He heard the droplets fall and land onto the new corridor carpets with a soft tapping. Sweat. Claudian turned around and plucked the writing instrument out of the air as though it were a flower and stared disappointingly at it's leaky nib. Busted! Merlin! He looked around to see if anyone was near enough to see the mess and whipped out his wand. |

She glanced up just in time to see a slightly unfamiliar man holding his wand towards a piece of the carpet near his feet. She tried to see what he was aiming at---if anything---but she was just too far away to tell. "Hi," she called out, approaching him with a smile on her face. When she was close enough, she saw that he was cleaning up a few spots of ink that had spilled onto the carpet. "The joy of magic, hmm? I bet a muggle couldn't have gotten off that easily." She gave him a playful expression to let him know she spoke in a lighthearted manner. "Oh, listen to me! I'm carrying on without having ever introduced myself. I'm Alexandra Carlton, the new Senior Undersecretary," she said. She'd extend her hand for a shake, but the man was slightly busy aiming his wand towards the ink spill. |
Nessa walked along the corridor, having come from the level four offices. Wow, big mess in there, that's for sure. And something weird was going on between that one guy and the poltergeist. Ummm.... strange, on many levels. Well in any case, corridors were nice. They were long, and generally gave you time to think (unless you happened to be walking with someone). Oh yeah, and they led you places. It was fun to walk down them when you had absolutely no idea where they went. Like this one, Nessa had absolutely no idea where it went. But then again, that was all the fun of a hallway. |

Claudian turned in time to hear a witch enter the corridor and he sent his wand wibble-wobbling in the middle of a semi-startled toss. He caught it mid-air and re-aimed it at the trail of spots on the ground. "Hello." He turned and smiled towards her before turning back to his mess, shaking his head for the apparent sloppiness and tergeo'ing the inky blotts that had followed him to the corridor. "You'd think I was a muggle child trying to escape from a witch's candied home. Honestly, I don't know how they function without so much as a single cleaning charm. Must've grabbed the wrong quill." He held the quill, nib-side-up and tried a repairing charm on it. "Just don't tell th..." Senior Undersecretary??? Uhm, Whoops. Yea, wouldn't want her to think that I was a careless, sloppy, liar or anything. With his wand, he got the last of the ink spots, gave Miss Carlton a slightly embarrassed grin and took her hand into his for a handshake. "It's nice to meet you, Miss Carlton. I'm Claudian Slughorn, Minister Taylor's assistant. Welcome to the Ministry." The magic of first impressions was clearly at work here. He continued to smile and tried not to look unprofessional in front of the new face that had just joined them. |
Nessa saw the man smile in her direction. Or at least it looked like it was in her direction. Huh. Whatever. She smiled and waved awkwardly. Wow.... wow. Oh yeah, cuz people like Nessa just happen to be awesome at talking to people. Say something stupid! the little voice inside her head said. Yeah but they're talking!! she yelled back. Sooooo?! it challenged. Shut up. She waved awkwardly again, at a loss for something to say/do/be silent. Yeah well hun, you're gonna be upset to know that I'm you. Nessa's voice thought back. ...I. Don't. Care. Shut. Up!! and then the voice stopped........ Hi there!!....Oh my gosh!!! Leeeeeeeave!! and it did. |

She laughed lightheartedly at the way he described the whole muggle child situation. Her eyes narrowed in confusion when he asked not to tell the... "Not to tell the---what?" she asked. She never figured out the second half of his sentence, for he'd abruptly stopped and moved on to some other topic of conversation. She left the matter to be and returned his handshake. "Oh...dear Merlin! Junior Assistant, hmm? How odd that you and I randomly meet on a floor other than our own," she said, with a laugh. "I haven't had the opportunity to make the rounds with introductions yet---as you can clearly tell, I assume." At least she could be sure of one thing---the only other level one employee besides she and Minister Taylor seemed to a kind, welcoming man. It relieved her to realize she'd more than likely always get along with this man. |
Rinatta walked into the corridorand looked around ,there were a few people futher away. Luckily they were in the opposite direction that they needed to go and the poltergist seemed to be behaving herself. Oh spoke too soon Nessa was close and the poltergist didn't seem to like her. Well hopefully she would behave and leave the young woman alone for now. After all, she and the young wizards seemed quite peaceful at the moment. Stepping out into the corridor she looked back and gave a warm and reassuring smile to the oddly matched pair. She stood just a little way from the door, giving them room and waited patiently for the two to follow her. |
Following the woman that had offered to help him out and lead Polty to a 'fun place', Torio couldn't help but bear an excited glint in his eye as he peered about the corridor. Much like a child on a treasure hunt, he hadn't been able to keep himself from guessing where it was the woman was taking them. Polty and him had been up and down all levels of the ministry a few times on their exhausting game of tag, and if anything besides good excercise, it had served as a decent tour of the place. Smiling at the woman as they stepped into the corridor, Torio paused in step and held out his free hand. "I...don't believe we've been introduced. Torio Ebisu." |
Polty followed Torio out into the corridor calm and humming, but her eyes bore a similar look to his. Her's held potential mischief though ,unlike Torio's. The two made an interesting looking pair. She seemed content to look around until her playmate pausedand held out his hand. Polty at first, stopped humming and made a face at the woman. The woman, didn't seem to be afraid of her and didn't make any threatening movements, so she eased again. She resumed humming and held out her hand like her playmate did. ------------------------------------------------------ Rinatta kept herself smiling calmly as she watched the pair emerge. The young wizard bore an adorable glint in his eye. It was one she knew well, she bore it often but only a few years back. She couldn't help but smile more. The young man extended his hand to introduce himself and she gave a polite nod. Before she took his hand she watched Polty for acceptance though, she didn't like the sensation of a large book to her head. " I don't believe we have had the time." she said with a warm smile. Polty gave her a strange look, but then seemed to be okay with the idea so Rin took his hand. "Rinatta Cross ,at your service." she said in a pleasant tone. She was a bit surprised as the poltergist put her hand in front of Rin's face as well. She smiled and took it giving her the same shake as Torio. "You may call me Rin if you like." |
Nessa spotted the weird one and his poltergeist. oh boy. she thought. Wait! But there was, someone else? Hmmmm. Probobly one of the others from the office. She might've been the lady that spilled her cup of coffee. Ah, well, might be a good idea to keep a safe distance..... With that in mind, Nessa set off towards somewhere... away from the little demon. *shudder* Yeah, she was supposed to be a care of magical creatures worker but poltergeists were.... odd. |

Next post at the closet.;) Quote:
------------------------------------------------------ The poltergist remained calm looking around the corridor. She made a weird hiss like sound when she saw Nessa....what she had against her was anyone's guess. She made an eerie giggle when he woman's cheeks began to blush. Her look matched that of her playmate and with him she followed the woman towards the closet. When they stopped she was completely quiet, just staring at it. |
Quote:
It was when they stopped in front of the coat closet and Polty went silent that he looked up at her with concern. In the time they had spent together, he had never heard her so silent, seen her so still. His defenses instantly snapped up, and his eyes flicked to Rinatta. What exactly was this 'fun' place? |

"You've been here a while though, aye? Have you meet Mr. Trumbull and Miss McArdle? She's head of Education." He turned his attention for the moment towards the young lady who just entered the corridor. "Hello, there. New to the Ministry?" H'mm. Maybe they could help her get acquainted. |
Quote:
She shrugged a little when he asked if she'd been around a while. "Not too long, actually. I've only met....one, two...erm, two departments heads," she admitted, slightly blushing as she talked. "That's not a whole lot, is it? I'm making the rounds, though." She thought about a Trumbull and a McArdle then shook her head. "No, I don't believe I've met Trumbull and McArdle. Perhaps you could introduce me?" |

Alexandra grew quiet as she listened to Nessa talk with Claudian. It was during her time of silence when she happened to notice the time. "Oh, Merlin!" she exclaimed, her eyes growing wide at the possibility of being late for her next meeting. "Oh, Nessa, Claudian, I'm terribly sorry, but I have a meeting in...ohh, one minute." With a worried expression on her face, she turned and click-clacked down the corridor in the opposite direction. "You two have a nice day...hopefully we can talk again soon!" A few seconds later, she'd turned the corner and disappeared from sight. |
Nessa noticed the Under Secretary prepare leave in a hurry. She nodded in understanding when she said she had a meeting to go to. "That's quite alright, I hope to see you again Miss Carlton." and then the Under Secretary was gone and she was left with the other man.... fidget. |
Quote:
Claudian smiled and noted the new Senior-Undersecretary's name. Alexandra. That should be easy enough to remember as it was very similar to Miss McArdle's. Quote:
Claudian extended his large hand out and shook Nessa's. "It's nice to meet you, Nessa. I'm Claudian Slughorn. I work in the Minister's office, but I'm sure if you heard me speaking to the Miss Carlton a moment ago, you already know. Oh! That was the Senior-Undersecretary, by the way...which you may have also heard." That was a bit awkward, but he was happy to at least be meeting someone new. "So, how are you liking your first year at the Ministry?" Quote:
Meeting? A look of momentary panic spread across Claudian's face. Was he supposed to be at that meeting also? "See you later, Alexandra." He searched his memory for any indication that he may have been asked to join a meeting this week, but didn't recall anything. |
Quote:
Nessa smiled. "It's nice to meet you Claudian." wow, he worked for in the minister's office. Woah. He seemed nice. "I've liked my first year here, some crazy stuff goes on in my department. The first bit of the year was fairly quiet though." *shudder* poltergeist. Stupid thing bit her ankels. Remembering the incident, she looked down at them. They were still slightly red from the blood, though a few of the bite marks were begining to scab over. Note to self: remember to find band-aids. |
Quote:
"Likewise." He smiled at the nice to meet you comment. He nodded at her comments about how crazy working for the ministry could get. He'd had his fair share already, though it was comparatively quiet in the Ministers office when compared to other departments he'd visited. Miss McArdles office alone was a party at any given time of the day. He looked down when Nessa did and saw that she was looking at her own feet. 'Odd.' he thought before he realized that they appeared to be injured. A look of concern crossed his face as he pushed his spectacles further up the bridge of his nose. "Are you alright? Have you tried 'Episkey' on it yet?" |

One of his brows raised, while the other remained stationary and a smile most curious crept onto his face. He was filled with a sort of giddy, nervous fascination at Nessa's explanation. Having a pure-blood status, he too found certain aspects of muggle culture fascinating, but he did not recognize his own interest with it yet for what it was. "That would make sense. They often opt to do things the harder way." He looked up at the corridor wall-clock. He'd spent the majority of his break chatting away and had forgotten to grab a snack. "I should get back to the Ministers office, Nessa. It was very nice meeting you." He smiled warmly, meaning that sincerely as he cherished his friendships. "Do be careful of infections. I heard those are common amongst muggle injuries." He gave her one last smile and headed back towards Level one. |
Nessa nodded. "Ah, yes yes of course." It would not do to get an infection. Bad things. Of course, if she did, then she'd be allowed to use magic surely? Well, she would. There was nothing wrong with using magic to clear up an infection. For the time being, she ought to go find some band-aids. Perhaps there was a muggle store nearby that sold them? Hadn't she seen one on her way in? Hmm... I'll go take a look. she decided. Watching Claudian walk off, Nessa decided it would be best if she got going. There was probobly some strange process she needed to go through in order to apply the medical equipment in addition to actually finding one. Hmm, well, two mabey, one for each ankle. With that in mind, she set off in search of a 'band-aid'. |
