Level 2 contains a big department, and for that reason, the storage closet in the foyer has been appropriated by Ministry Maintenance to be used as a Janitor's closet/storage unit. While the door is usually locked, the contents are not very exciting, there are shelves stacked with cleaning products, and things like nails, glue and gaffer tape, and various tools like hammers and screwdrivers. There's also extra toilet paper in here, as well as hand soap to restock the bathroom. A mop and bucket, several brooms and what appears to be a floor polisher take up most of one corner. Its standing room only folks, and if you're in here without good reason and you get caught? Probably you'll end up having to USE all these nifty cleaning accouterments and have a go at making the bathroom shiny.

You can access the MLE Training Arena through this closet, providing you know the latest password.


You are here.

You're welcome to make your own RPs in here but do be aware of the consequences! Getting up to trouble right by the very people who are responsible for arresting troublemakers probably isn't a good idea!

Jory eyed the closet. Of all the entrances to the Training Arena...well, he supposed it was better than a toilet. Okaaay, so how did he do this? Just blurt out the password? That would be the most logical idea because he couldn't figure out anything else to do.

Jory cleared his throat. Got to speak the password clearly, ya know. "Hop- Scotching Goblins!''he said loudly and clearly. Er, was that too loud?

So...could he like pass now?

Jackson had read the bulletin regarding the recommended training and decided to get that done as soon as possible. So he walked into the closet and saw...what any normal person would see inside a janitorial closet. Only thing that was missing was a spare toilet bowl. Maybe there was one hidden somewhere in here, but Jackson wasn't looking for one right now.

All he wanted to do was get through and over to the training arena. Remembering the password that had been provided, he called out clearly, "Hopscotching Goblins!"

Okay did he now have to say Open Sesame as well? Oh there you go...

While he wasn't aware of any upskilling he needed at the moment, Simon figured a little training wouldn't hurt him in between meetings and patrols. Best to keep one's skills sharp, especially when there wasn't much else on the work front keeping them that way. The last thing one needed to be in an emergency was rusty. So he headed down to the janitor's closet and stepped inside, well aware of its double usage.

"Hopscotching Goblins!" he said, giving the password before passing on through once he was allowed passage.

Since he was informed that there was a training set in his favourite place in the whole floor, or perhaps in all the ministry places, Joshua decided not to miss a good opportunity to check out and practice his skills. Of course; his wife, Evelyn, would start to complain about how much he exercised and overused his body yet she didn't have to know about this one. No one would tell her, right? She would never know.

He hoped so and while thinking of possible ways that she might find out, he walked to the closet and murmured the password that would gain him access to the training arena. "Hopscotching Goblins" And once the path was open for him, he walked in.

Legend was never one to miss any type of training, for the simple reason that he had nothing better to do. There were some people who might see it as 'sad' but he didn't. Much of his life was dedicated to what he did in the Ministry and Legend didn't mind at all. He'd rather be active and helping people than wandering around aimlessly which was where he was pretty sure he'd be without the Ministy.

Making his way into the closet Legend made sure to shut the door behind him before uttering the password. "Hopscotching Goblins." The former Gryffindor said lazily. The entrance opened up and he walked on in, hands in his pockets and everything.

Emma heard about a training exercise and she was down. She wanted to get all the training she could get plus she loved the mle training stuff they were always fun! She gave a small grin as she entered the janitors closet. The password was funny.

"Hopscotching Goblins." The entrance opened and the blonde walked in ready to do something fun.

With some slow time in the department, plus YATI stuff not pending, Simon had figured it was a good time to work on the training set up. So he had planned it out with Jory and approached the Janitor's Closet at the allotted time after double checking the latest password for the area. Easy enough to remember but it wasn't the time to use it. They needed to go in together to wind up the same place so it was time to wait since he was the first one there.

So he had a few moments to push out what he had been doing beforehand and ready himself for the duel. Breathe in and out.

Training time. Again. Jory was mighty pleased with his previous training results. Ninety three percent! How awesome was that? That made him confident going into this next round of training. He was aiming at doing even better but he didn't want to be over confident or get ahead of himself.

He arrived at the Janitor's Closet, spotting Simon the moment he arrived. 'Hi, Simon.'' If Jory wanted to improve, he couldn't have picked a better partner. He looked up to the Auror, though he never told the guy that. "Ready to get started?"

SPOILER!!: Unknown Mentee

Ah there the younger man was. "Hey Jory," Simon returned as the trainee made his presence known after the opening of the door had signalled his actual arrival. "Uh huh...ready when you are," Simon answered with a nod, slipping his hand into place to grasp his wand. "Shall we..." he mused rhetorically before turning to face the access point to the training center properly.

"Fever Fudge," the auror pronounced before entering with his partner once the entranceway was given.

"I'm totally ready!" Jory was. He was all but happy dancing right about now. There was just something about these little training exercises that made him happy. They were something he really looked forward to.

"Yes, let's go." Jory followed Simon to the Arena the moment the password was given and they were allowed to go through.

Call it a blessing or convenience, but Emily was for once thankful that the janitors closet was in close proximity to the bathroom. Partly so that she wouldn't necessarily be drawing much attention to herself at the moment incessant need to pee. Ugh. As such, once she exited the bathroom it was only too easy to steal herself away into the cosy confines of the janitors cupboard before entering the training arena. If it hadn't been cosy before, then her rounder girth certainly added to the sensation.

"Crabapples," she stated clearly, stepping through to the other side as the entrance materialised before her.

Evangeline Shacklebolt... had never been so excited to step foot into a janitor's closet in her life. It was quite possibly the most monumental moment of her life thus far. Although, finally going to Hogwarts was a pretty big step. As was meeting her birth father... Okay, so a couple events tied for first, but THIS... this was brilliant.

Taking a deep breath, the newly hired YATI trainee stepped into the closet. Hmm, how cozy. Now, she knew the password... did she just say it? Out loud? No one had given her directions, but that kind of seemed like the logical thing to do, so...

"Crabapples," she said confidently. Aha! It worked! And another big step was ahead of her! Evie grabbed onto the newly-appeared door handle and stepped through the door to her first MLE meeting ever.

Meeting...got it.

And it wasn't Simon wasn't in work well before the 11am time frame. Though distractions in the form of checking on a few things had made he wary of the time on his watch. Still he made it to the closet at a decent time and readied himself for the meeting to happen once they all gathered on the other side of the gateway.

"Crabapples!" he said, speaking clearly to make certain it was heard, the way cleared for him to pass through.

Having found the notice board, the new MLES Chief Investigator took time to read all of the latest bulletins, even the ones from the end of last year. He would need to read up on past cases anyway, so this was as good a place to start as any. The newest post stated that they had a meeting this morning - and that they had to step up patrols. Perfect, what better way that to get to know your job, then by doing it?

When his watch turned 10.50, he moved over to the janitors closet and said clearly; ”Crabapples” before he smirked and moved into the training room. Cool.

Once Luc arrived to work, he checked out the notice board to goggle it a moment. Whoa, training today. So it was off to the Janitor's closet. His eyes darted around.

Oh this better mean I'm not late.

Which he didn't need to worry about once he arrived. Clearing his throat, he spoke clearly, "Crabapples." Before opening the door to step inside.

Well, this was different. A janitors closet was the entrance to the training room? Somewhere had to be, he supposed. Although he was more used to it being through a dummy elevator. Either way, he was early. Thankfully. Late for his first meeting would have been a black mark by his name.

Adjusting his tie, Anderson closed the door behind him and stood ramrod straight in the closet, clearing his throat to say the password. "Crabapples." He stepped forwards, disappearing through the other door, and into the training room.

Interesting that the meeting was being held in the training room this year. Were they going to be required to go through some kinda training session afterward or was it just for a change of scenery?

Penelope didn't know, obviously, but she was very curious to find out.

"Crabapples," she said after she'd closed the closet door behind her. The new door appeared, and she stepped on through.

Amrita Sandhu detested being late with every single fiber of her being. She'd grown up in a house with just her bebbeji and mummyji, both of whom detested being late even more than she did. Punctuality might be the courtesy of kings, but for the lesser of them, it was a necessity.

However, Amrita was also a big fan of tea. Earl grey tea, Darjeeling tea, Black tea, English Breakfast tea. Fruit teas, teas with flowers in them, teas with fruits and flowers in them. Whatever kind of tea - you could bet your hair that this girl loved it. And it was a known fact that tea was a diuretic. And she had only so much space in her bladder. Which meant that she'd had to take a really quick toilet break right before she had any time to read the noticeboard because WHOEVER could read a noticeboard while their bladder was screaming for attention deserved an award. A Nobel Prize. A STATUE ERECTED IN THEIR HONOUR.

As we were saying, she had to take a quick detour. And by the time she read the thing on the noticeboard, she'd had exactly three minutes to get to the meeting place. Which was through this here janitor's closet. Which was small and dark and just a little bit frightening. And a very curious place to put an entrance to a training room but she supposed that the Department of Magical Law Enforcement would have to find some way not to be found when they were training. Huh.

What was the password again? Oh yes. "Crabapples." What a strange password. Was it a real fruit? Perhaps there was a tea in that flavour. She'd have to find out now.

TO THE TRAINING ARENAAAAAA!

Maybe they'd have tea there too.

Training! Though not nearly as exciting as when she'd been a YATI with nothing better to do, it was still an excellent way to pass a day that otherwise would have you stuck at your desk. Note to self, she would speak with Legend later about that lead she and Tyler had picked up on. Stir crazy was not a good look on her.

Besides that, gaining extra qualifications was never a bad thing. It was another opportunity to show Emily what an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING employee she was--not that she needed this training to prove such a thing.

Hardly.

Lex yanked the door to the janitor's closet open, surprised to find no one else was inside trying to get into the training arena themselves. Perhaps they were already through. "Jump start." She uttered.

Once the new door appeared, she closed the closet's door and stepped through.

She was so ready for this.

When Toni read the notice as signed by the Department Head, she automatically headed where the janitor's closet location.

"Huh, this closet again, and it always be"

Toni step inside the closet and closed its door nicely, looking briefly to its interior "nothing has change, this closet is look the same, back then" well its time to training, she still need some training, at least with proper program and say "Jump start" then a new door eventually appeared in front of her, stepping into it, then she realized there someone got here first.

Any opportunity to improve her skillset was going to be seized and Ivy stepped into the janitors closet filled with an eager anticipation, wondering what she might find once permitted to the training arena. Speaking of, "Jump Start."

Thank Merlin the passwords around here were easily remembered.
