Nearing the public toilets and his fellow department employees with the boss man giving orders and Ms Purcell doing the same Logan searched automatically for Mammy. Spotting his sister-in-law he brushed a hand through is dark blond curls as he made his way over to her commenting. "This better not be what this morning's horoscope said would be the smelly mess in my future." With his hand close to his wand Logan asked as his eyes wandered around. "How come we got chosen for the task of replacing and installing toilets anyway?" Mammy had to know. She always did.
As his boss was standing nearby Logan gave him quick salute. "Good morning Sir, what are my orders?"
Kai tried to be as prompt as possible this morning, though the lab slides had been calling her name and so had her cup of coffee. Apparently they were to be tasked with changing out and fixing the water closet entrances. Kai was pretty sure that these particular units had never been used for their originally intended purpose and she really hoped not. Granted she had smeared some interesting things on slides, but ..............she brought a few pairs of gloves, just in case. A pair of jeans she used for tasks such as painting seemed to be ideal to wear....they had accidental paint splashes and random superhero logos that weren't so accidental painted onto them. A plain black muscle tee would be fine enough and a pair of skater shoes with koi fish on them. They were working outside and she liked dressing like a no-mag.
As she approached she saw several people here already. Was she late!? No way! She looked at her pocket watch.....no she was pretty much on time....well she was not an early birdy here apparently though. Half of the hot men in her department were already here....Mr. Bossman, Charlie, Logan..... and MEGAN! She waved a little too excitedly at Megan, gave a small wave to Charlie, and then walked over to report to her ridiculously good looking boss. She stopped beside Logan with a big smile. "Good Morning Mr. Entienne." Turning her attention to the boss man , her smile didn't fade a bit. "Good Morning Sir. What would you have me do?"
Seriously? No one was going to help him? Right fine...he could do it himself, a small levitation or weighless spell should do the trick.Now where did he put his wand again? Did it fall out or something? He searched his back pockets. No, it wasn't there...hmm...he probably misplaced it with the plumbing tools he had earlier. Urgh...nevermind. He would just use his strength again to move the darn toilet down the truck. Didn't they have the crane-like things available on these kind of trucks to help move heavy objects around? It would save them all the trouble and effort, right? Merlin..this is heavy. Stupid porcelain...
Huh? He heard the oh so familiar voice from below. Kai? She was LATE! Alright, not that late but still LATE in his watch. She gave him a small wave...SMALL wave?! Pfft...how feasable of her. His eyes narrowed a little as he watched her greeted Logan a little more however. "Fern! You could start by helping us remove the pipes, there are still more of them in there. " He answered for her, smirking. And for that guy named Logan something, he turned to him next,"You, Logan right?...Help me unload this toilets down, would you?"he asked, his usual annoyed Charles-like atitude showing a little towards the man.

Oops. It appeared she was late. Well it wasn't her fault! Looking at her watch she saw that it was only 5 minutes after she needed to be there. She sighed as she looked around, realising the job she was asked to do.
Toilets.
At least it was these toilets, and not the other ones. Had it been the other way around, Zhenya would have suggested getting the Obliviators to work with muggle plumbers. She liked getting her hands dirty but not that kind of dirty.
Well, she had triple read the announcement. Level 2 employee was she. She waved to her colleagues, and the others from the other divisions, and got to work. Assisting in installation. She waited for some toilets to be unloaded from the truck, and then she would give a flick of her wand and... install it. Easy? Right?? But nose and eyes at the ready, she kept watch for any suspicious substances.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Megan didn't have to wait that long for persons to start arriving. She smiled when she saw Charles. "Hello. I'm glad it's someone for our Department who's showed because I don't know anyone from the other Department.'' She hadn't socialised much with others but speaking of the other Department... that was the boss of Transportation. Megan nodded at the woman, a friendly smile on her face still. Her own handsome boss man showed up next. Such a cute face he had... ehem. "Hi, boss man.'' He won't be the boss if he didn't hand out instructions right away, would he? Megan nodded and looked at Charles. "Let's go!'' Eager beaver Megan. She spotted Kai, Logan, Zhenya and a few other co-workers as she was leaving. The VERY energetic wave was returned to Kai. Logan and Zhenya got one too.
She followed Charles at the same moment the truck arrived, the truck arrived. She cast one look at the driver sitting there and knew he was not going to be helping them. Who needed him anyway? The blond splashed her way through the water, turning up her pretty face as she did so. This was GROSS! She would probably need to dump these clothes when she was done even though they were already old and fit for exactly this type of work.
"Sounds like a plan, Charles.'' The man did know these things were heavy, right? Trusting that he did, Megan set right to work, moving to remove the pipes and other plumbing. She tossed them in a neat pile for easy access to be transported to the waiting truck, only stopping when she hear Charles's struggles. Looking around, she could stop herself from laughing a little. "Don't strain yourself. I'm sure Logan and the others will be here soon. Plus the Transportation department has to help too.'' So far, only most of the Accidents and Catastrophe's department had arrived.

Kang Micky was here. He's not late or whatsoever, the Korean guy seemed better if he kept silent and handsome even though they had to do their work... in toilets today. Hopefully it wouldn't ruin his perfect pompadour-style hair and his handsomeness too. Cough cough...
He actually had one job to do here, be on the lookout for any suspicious substances nd be ready to assist Division One employees should a breach occur. And, was there any suspicious thing yet? Nope. Good. The Korean guy just waited until somebody needed his hand. But for now, he's gonna stand here and watched those people. HEHEHE. Good luck, guys!

"Look alive, Margaret," Aron winked. "Gotta earn that over time, you know." Not that this was going to take all day, not with the number of his employees that had showed up at least. Chance it would take out a good chuck of their lunch hour, however. Hopefully Ursula got the memo about picking up sandwiches from the Leaky for everyone.
"Excellent," he nodded to Rusty in acknowledgement. Not that he anything less from the man. "I don't reckon any muggles will be giving us any problem today, but we don't need them as an added complication either." And it wouldn't kill the man to put a bit of elbow grease into the day and do some lifting. Judging from things, it was the two of them that had the most upper body strength today.
Bloody he---- Aron shot the driver an unamused glare before his attention was drawn to Lynley. "Bet you have to sign some form to confirm delivery," he said, giving the driver an quick nod of the head. "Be sure to spell your name correctly."
Speaking of upper arm strength....
"Step aside, Charles, I'll get that one," Aron mused while flexing his pecks as he ascending the truck and crouched down to lift the toilet. "From the knees," he added as a bit of unwarranted brotherly advice before seemingly effortlessly lifting the toilet in question.
"Plumbing and toilets inside are a start," he nodded towards Fern and then made a slightly jeering nod of the head towards Charles. "Or you can help him with unloading some of the toilets from the truck." There were about 10 or so, he believed. Unless the company had botched that up as well. At least their time keeping skills were efficient.
"To make yourself useful," he chuckled in Logan's. "Either help get these things off the truck or work on removing the existing ones inside." Zhenya received a small nod of appreciation when she arrived, grateful that she just got straight to work. Megan seemed accounted for as well, so the department head could continue to flex his muscles and do some of the grunt work.
Still carrying the toilet over here. Ahem.
"Not going to impress me standing there gaping at your co-workers there, Micky," Aron grunted at his employee as he walked by with the toilet held in his slightly strained arms into the public bathroom to finish the clean up effort in there and get the installation process going.

As she approached she saw several people here already. Was she late!? No way! She looked at her pocket watch.....no she was pretty much on time....well she was not an early birdy here apparently though. Half of the hot men in her department were already here....Mr. Bossman, Charlie, Logan..... and MEGAN!

"Good Morning Mr. Entienne." Turning her attention to the boss man , her smile didn't fade a bit. "Good Morning Sir. What would you have me do?"
As Kai showed up Logan couldn't help but smile broadly in return. "Good morning Ms Fern...Cute gloves I hope they won't get messy." You look lovely as always. But he didn't say that out loud. That was purely in his head. Glancing over at Mammy Logan knew instinctively that she was going to tease him about this later. Smiling broadly at a co-worker which he liked a little. Mammy probably picked up on that. And she'd tell Hope and Hazel and the three of them would tease him to no end.
SPOILER!!: Bossman

The bossman gave Logan a way out of getting teased out of potential sister teasing which he jumped on like a life line. "I'll help get the toilets out of the truck Sir. I bet the truck driver has plenty of other stops he needs to get to today." If they got the toilets off the truck they could worry about removing the old ones and the plumbing later unless the old toilets had to shipped away with the same truck? Logan guessed they'd be told if that was the case.
SPOILER!!: Charles

And for that guy named Logan something, he turned to him next,"You, Logan right?...Help me unload this toilets down, would you?"he asked, his usual annoyed Charles-like atitude showing a little towards the man.
Hearing Charle's grumpy voice from inside the truck Logan pulled off his jacket and hung it around his waist. Pulling up the sleeves on his shirt, Logan jumped up on the truck and headed inside to where Charles was standing. "I'll help you out. No worries. It'll go faster then. And yes its Logan by the way." If only Charles could remember it. It was starting to get just a little irritating that he didn't.
Casting a glance around at the almost dozen or so toilets in the truck he asked Charles as well as Aron that was there. "How come you guys aren't lifting these with the use of magic? Is magic prohibited because of the driver?" If that was the case Logan could fix the drivers memory. Leaning down to get a good hold on a toilet he lifted it using his knees and arms more than his back before he moved to set it down on the ground.
Lynley nodded at Aron and went to sign for the toilets. She spelled her name CORRECTLY...and gave the driver of the truck a glare. "Hopefully your people will recognize that they spelled my name wrong, and should I continue to do business with them--" There was no reason to, since this toilet deal was pretty much it, but THEY didn't need to know that! "They should learn how to spell my name. L-Y-N-L-E-Y P-U-R-C-E-L-L..." she knew this man had nothing to do with the misspelling of her name.
It didn't mean she didn't want to gripe about it to him. Pfffft.
"Now, thank you for bringing the toilets." She huffed a little and moved around to the back to try to move one.
MERLIN'S SAKE---what were these toilets made of?! GOLD? Lynley pulled on one--it didn't even MOVE. fhiurfiuhegiehrgh
"Some of us might need to PAIR UP to help move the toilets out of the truck--seeing as I can hardly move this one myself-" and if Lynley couldn't do it, clearly everyone else needed help.
This would have been so much easier if they could have done magic...

"Sir yes sir," she said indifferently to Aron, giving him a two finger salute. Earning that over time. Public toilets. Heavy lifting.
She's jumping for the opportunity.
Arching an eyebrow, she raised her hand and flicked her brother-in-law's ear when he was near enough. Did he not know it was still way too early in the morning to try and be funny? "Overtime, little bro. Don't question it." Shoving one hands in her back jean pockets, her attention was momentarily diverted to the arrival of the toilets. Honking like no one's business, lets put even more attention on them. The driver was brilliant, obviously. Brilliaaaant.
On the other hand, it was a toilet truck. Stuff was funny.
She would be doing neither the lifting or the unhooking, thank you very much.
But ooooh boy, she had not missed her dear little bro complimenting whatshername's gloves, keeping in mind to bring that up later for sure. Moving from the lamppost, she stood by the truck entrance, staring into at the toilets as well as Logan and whoever else was in there. "Dude, we're in the public eye. In London." Not that she had any business with her opinion. She wasn't lifting those things. "Hey, and remember to lift with your knees." Or did you lift with your back?
Whatever. She'll just... keep a watch out. All that jazz.
Megan being here and returning her greeting just automatically made the day a whole lot better. It was already a great friendship and she adored her new coworker.
Did Kai's cheeks turn a little pink at what Logan said?....possibly. She forgot that she had polka dot elbow length gloves in her front pocket....they were cute and she did like them, but something about how he said it was just so..........."Oh, thank you. They always get messy with me it just kind of happens because I always get dirty." Did that sound right? She liked botany and playing in the dirt.....and she rambled a little around Logan. "You look nice....like always."Smile and hair tuck because she was an awkward duckling. AND....She had barely greeted Logan and the boss man before she heard a certain someone barking orders at her. She mentally sighed as Mr. Demetri started heckling her again, was this his new life's mission? Seriously? She asked boss man what he wanted, not him. He wasn't her boss, he hadn't been there longer than her, and he wasn't even in her direct team. Take a chill pill Mr. Suits. "I believe that I asked the boss, Mr. Demetri." She smiled as calmly and peacefully as ever, rarely ruffled by his commentary.
Kai held back a giggle as she watched the bossman take Charlie's toilet. He was one magnificent specimen of man flesh.....She knew that he was her boss and off the market, the somewhat embarrassment over initial accident of her pre meeting him at the Leaky last year had mostly worn off except when he teased her. He really was just a very fine representative of the male race and she knew that she was not the only woman in the department, nay ministry, that had no intentions but liked to watch his muscles work.
"Yes sir!" Kai saluted him with her ever fixed smile. Now...Inside as Mr. Grumpypants Charlie had suggested.....or help Charlie? She felt like not doing what Charlie said and took on the other task that her boss had offered. Logan started with the moving of the heavy porcelain privys too and that was yet another reason to help with that task. She watched as he pulled his jacket off and his sleeves up to reveal his manly arm muscles. Another fine specimen of the male of the species....A&C DEFINITELY was the home of Ministry hotties.
Stopping herself from staring at Logan, she quickly looked elsewhere and walked up to one of the porcelain thrones. They couldn't use magic , but she was used to non-maging it and thankfully she had worn a sleeveless shirt so that nothing would get in her way. Slipping her gloves on, she centered herself and bent her knees.....she was NOT going to pull a muscle and be useless. Was she up to the task? What did these weigh, 100 lbs / 45 k? She should be able to do that....at least once. Being female and not the tallest person here, she had a lower center of gravity and that made it easier. It took all of her muscles and you could see all of them flexed to do so, but she managed to hoist the heavy lavatory and slowly start walking it to the end of the truck. She wasn't as strong as some of the boys and this would be her only solo endeavor, but walking by Charles she smiled just a little as she made it to the ground just outside of the truck to set the load down. She grinned and laughed a little, pleased with herself and took a deep breath.
Looking at the other department head (Lynley) that was suggesting a pair up, Kai nodded her head and walked over to her. "That sounds like a good idea. May I be your partner?" It would be best to pair up with another woman probably.
Charles grunted. Megan seemed all too happy to watch him struggle. “Hmm...atleast some of us are already busting our butts to get this thing over with,” he muttered as his eyes bored over towards Micky who had just arrived at the location. Good thing their department head spotted the Korean pretty boy first, or Charles himself would take the initiative to pull him by the collar if he keep standing there and not helping them in the slightest.
He simply shrugged his shoulders at Kai’s reply. “I assumed you would know. Didn’t you read the announcements before coming here?” His feigned innocence. Charles raised his eyebrows, smiling mockingly back at her. He already knew,of course, she would rebuke back with her forever calm demeanor. Besides, the newbie Zhenya seemed to know what to do as soon as she got here. Why asked the boss, Fern? Unless, you had other intentions in mind...
"From the knees...he said." Charles had to hold back his scoff in front of his department head. Alright...fine, he got it...he wasn't the most buffiest man on Earth but that didn't mean he wasn't able to lift the bloody thing up. He would find alternative ways when it came to heavy-lifting and physical exertion isn't one of them. And yes...he would use his magic to do all the work for him. So what? Again, wasn’t it his prerogative to do what benefit him the most? Unfortunately, he realised it now ...he couldn’t do that in the public eye especially there were muggles around. Charles reluctantly stepped aside and let Aronshowcase his haan veren(rooster feathers in dutch) in front of these ‘lovely’ colleagues of his. He muster up a forced smile and watched the man used all of his “incredible” finesse into lifting the toilet off the truck.
Cute gloves?! What was so cute about those polka dot elbow-length gloves? He snorted at Logan’s compliment. Typical. Wait... was that a tinge of blush he saw on her cheeks? His knee involuntarily bumped onto the side of the toilet seat. Ow! He immediately rubbed his knee with his hand to smooth the pulsating pain. Arrgh... he was more than annoyed now, Charles glanced away from them and continued to curse mentally at the blasted toilet. “Stupid toilet.Stupid knee.” He was a little irked by the time Logan decided he would help unload the toilets from the truck. Charles nodded and shrugged but didn’t say anything else to the plant-loving man since another colleague of his,possibly his family member? ... had already answered his question. What the...rolling his sleeves and such. Pfft. Show-off. Rolling his eyes once more before bending his knees again, he began to lift the toilet bowl, “I’m not going to fail..t-this...time..” his voice sounded strained but he managed to carry it down from the truck. Don’t ever underestimate the power of will! But... his will was gradually diminishing after walking a few metres from the truck before deciding, his arms could break at any second if he carried on any further. He lowered the toilet down on the ground and wiped the sweat that was trickling down his forehead. Why did he volunteer to do this again?...Who's idea was this? Where are the moving trolleys when they needed one?... Eyeing the transportation department head, she could have atleast provided them with one.
Well...well...well. Kai seemed rather determined to show what she made of. It was NOT surprising, she was showing her refusal to follow his suggestion with the pipes after all. Charles was undeterred by her presence as she continued her way past him, carrying a toilet in her arms by herself. He turned up one corner of his mouth into a halfsneer. The nerve of this odd woman. Hmph. However, as soon as he turned his back away from her. He couldn’t help but grin slightly. Charles was secretly impressed by the amount of strength she could pull. Not bad...at all...not bad at all, Fern.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Megan stifled a laugh as she dropped some more plumbing into her pile. Charles was straining (it looked comical to her with the vein popping) more than ever so the boss man had to help. There was no shame in that because those toilets were heavy, she knew.
She focused on dismantling more plumbing before determining that she was ready to deposit them in the truck. She grabbed an armful, turning back to face Charles and the others. There was Kai, helping with the fetching too as well as some other of A&C's people. But Logan. Wow, Logan!
Look at those muscles! Man, was looking cheating? Megan felt as though she were cheating on Yuna. She tried to look away but damn. Logan wasn't making this easy. She strode over to him, still clutching the plumbing. "Hey, hot stuff,'' she said to him. "You belong on a catwalk not lugging around these human waste disposal apparatus. Charles can do that...'' Megan winked at Charles then looked back at Logan. She was not complaining that he was here instead of a catwalk though. "Care to walk a girl to that truck?''
Lynley heaved backward ONE more time, trying to pull it on her own...but alas. It refused to move. Well...it looked like she did need to accept the help that this woman was offering her.
"Yes--sure--Lynley, by the way--I don't know your name so--" the woman should tell her what her name was. Mhmm. She looked her up and down and patted the toilet seat. Her forehead was beading with sweat already! Merlin's pants. "I think together we can get this thing out--we just have to make sure not to drop it--" she wrapped her arms around right under the biggest part of the toilet. "On three, I say we pull--if we need to rest along the way that is FINE with me--" she nodded, her dark eyes squinting at the.......long way.

Gabby could think of a million things she'd rather do than help install new toilets, but she supposed that she had no real choice in the matter.
So what if she was late? Her boss should be glad that she had even CAME.
Sighing, she cast a sad look at her freshly manicured nails. She had just gotten them done yesterday and she would not be happy if they ended up getting badly chipped in the process. Maybe she could just...stand back and offer moral support. Gabby wasn't big on that, but it sure beat touching toilets.
Turning her attention to her Department Head she gave a thumbs up. "You got this!" Look at her being all supportive. Maybe with the help of that other woman they would be able to lift the thing.
Arching an eyebrow, she raised her hand and flicked her brother-in-law's ear when he was near enough. Did he not know it was still way too early in the morning to try and be funny? "Overtime, little bro. Don't question it." Shoving one hands in her back jean pockets, her attention was momentarily diverted to the arrival of the toilets. Honking like no one's business, lets put even more attention on them. The driver was brilliant, obviously. Brilliaaaant.
Moving from the lamppost, she stood by the truck entrance, staring into at the toilets as well as Logan and whoever else was in there. "Dude, we're in the public eye. In London." Not that she had any business with her opinion. She wasn't lifting those things. "Hey, and remember to lift with your knees." Or did you lift with your back?
As pain shot up his ear Logan eyed Mammy questioningly as he raised a hand to rub at it. "What was that for? It's not my fault that we got called out to help with toilets this early in the day." However he was the only family member in the vicinity so he could understand why he got his ear flicked. Mammy was not a morning person which Logan had learned on more than one occasion. "Got it." he mumbled in response to his sister-in-law stating that they were in the public city centre of London and thus couldn't use magic.
Raising a brow at the tip on how to lift toilets best Logan called"Aren't you going to help lift some toilets?" as Mammy started to walk away from him clearly aiming to join Rusty for the task of setting up a perimeter.
SPOILER!!: Kai

"It's always good to be practical especially when you work in our department. You never know where you might get called out or what the situation might involve." Logan reasoned with a smile to Kai. He should remember to compliment his mother on always carrying her bag with multiple stuff around for every eventuality when he saw her next and buy her something nice. It was practical and smart but he had never seen it like that until now. He owed his mother gratitude. Blushing just a little at the clothes compliment he got from Kai, Logan said simply. "Thanks." It'd have been better if he had worn his already old and torn jeans.

Putting the heavy toilet down on the boardwalks pavement Logan turned to look at Charles struggling under the weight of another toilet. It really was big shame that they couldn't use magic he sincerely hoped that nobody ended up spraining their backs. Today was a day when he prided himself for keeping in shape and working out when time allowed. As Charles came down from the truck with the toilet Logan heard Ms Purcell's suggestion of everyone pairing up to make the toilet moving less straining and quicker. He considered his options before he chose. "Charles, want to be partners? It'd go faster and be less sweaty work." Logan offered. He didn't voice it but he did have an ulterior motive for wanting to partner up with Charles. It was to get the other guy to finally remember his name and see that Logan was a good guy not the enemy. If it worked it was another story.
SPOILER!!: Megan

Logan was about to head back into the truck for another toilet when Megan intercepted him, carrying on armload of plumbing. Hot stuff-. Nobody called him that and especially not out on assignment with bosses within ear shot. He knew he looked good but this just made him feel a tiny bit uncomfortable. "I don't want to model and besides I'd trip over my own feet. I've never been comfortable in front of a camera." Logan could friendly though as he gestured to the plumbing Megan was still clutching. "Aren't you supposed to leave the plumbing out here with the toilets?" Or was it supposed to go back into the truck? Logan didn't know Aron hadn't instructed on that had he?

Setting the toilet inside the public restroom, Aron began migrating the old ones out and setting them on the truck to be taken away to be...whatever the company did. Hopefully recycled them, but hopefully not into and dishware.
With the majority of the new and old toilets where they should be, Aron peeked his head out of the loo and beckoned everyone to come inside. "Alright folks, let's finish up here," he instructed.
Just a few enchantments and wards and then the fun part, testing them.
OOC: sorry for the short post and lack of responses to all of you, but we just wanted to make sure to move this along so...other things can occur So go ahead and have your character finish up what they are doing and move on inside. Thanks for sticking around!

He simply shrugged his shoulders at Kai’s reply. “I assumed you would know. Didn’t you read the announcements before coming here?” His feigned innocence. Charles raised his eyebrows, smiling mockingly back at her. He already knew,of course, she would rebuke back with her forever calm demeanor. Besides, the newbie Zhenya seemed to know what to do as soon as she got here. Why asked the boss, Fern? Unless, you had other intentions in mind...
Cute gloves?! What was so cute about those polka dot elbow-length gloves? He snorted at Logan’s compliment. Typical. Wait... was that a tinge of blush he saw on her cheeks? His knee involuntarily bumped onto the side of the toilet seat. Ow! He immediately rubbed his knee with his hand to smooth the pulsating pain. Arrgh... he was more than annoyed now, Charles glanced away from them and continued to curse mentally at the blasted toilet. “Stupid toilet.Stupid knee.” He was a little irked by the time Logan decided he would help unload the toilets from the truck. Charles nodded and shrugged but didn’t say anything else to the plant-loving man since another colleague of his,possibly his family member? ... had already answered his question. What the...rolling his sleeves and such. Pfft. Show-off. Rolling his eyes once more before bending his knees again, he began to lift the toilet bowl, “I’m not going to fail..t-this...time..” his voice sounded strained but he managed to carry it down from the truck. Don’t ever underestimate the power of will! But... his will was gradually diminishing after walking a few metres from the truck before deciding, his arms could break at any second if he carried on any further. He lowered the toilet down on the ground and wiped the sweat that was trickling down his forehead. Why did he volunteer to do this again?...Who's idea was this? Where are the moving trolleys when they needed one?... Eyeing the transportation department head, she could have atleast provided them with one.
Well...well...well. Kai seemed rather determined to show what she made of. It was NOT surprising, she was showing her refusal to follow his suggestion with the pipes after all. Charles was undeterred by her presence as she continued her way past him, carrying a toilet in her arms by herself. He turned up one corner of his mouth into a halfsneer. The nerve of this odd woman. Hmph. However, as soon as he turned his back away from her. He couldn’t help but grin slightly. Charles was secretly impressed by the amount of strength she could pull. Not bad...at all...not bad at all, Fern.
Didn't she read the announcements? "There is always the chance that something may have changed in between the posting on the board and now, better to be safe than sorry." She replied calmly to his smart aleck retort.
It appeared that despite smacking his knee on the porcelain portals he had to prove himself, as it seemed ol' Charlie managed to wrangle one out here too. Not too shabby Sir. She smiled over at him merrily as she saw his solitary effort. "Very manly, Sir. Well done." She laughed playfully but encouragingly to him and went back about her business to go help her potential partner.
SPOILER!!: Mr. Logan :)

He should remember to compliment his mother on always carrying her bag with multiple stuff around for every eventuality when he saw her next and buy her something nice. It was practical and smart but he had never seen it like that until now. He owed his mother gratitude. Blushing just a little at the clothes compliment he got from Kai, Logan said simply. "Thanks." It'd have been better if he had worn his already old and torn jeans.
Logan was so......darn nice! He believed in her practicality and she smiled back pleasantly as she listened. "Very right you are Mr. Entienne. That is part of why I am happy to have been accepted into this department." A bit of you never knew what adventure awaited, along with helping people. Class A ideal for this girl. Wait....was that a bit of blush from him too? He was the cutest guy ever! She just smiled a little with a touch of pink in her cheeks, no idea what to do other than smile. Back to work right?
Surprisingly Logan offered to help Charles with the lifting and........Megan .........just called him hot stuff? Kai wasn't sure what to think of that and just focused on her partner......okay and maybe Logan and Charlie.
SPOILER!!: Lynley

"Yes--sure--Lynley, by the way--I don't know your name so--" the woman should tell her what her name was. Mhmm. She looked her up and down and patted the toilet seat. Her forehead was beading with sweat already! Merlin's pants. "I think together we can get this thing out--we just have to make sure not to drop it--" she wrapped her arms around right under the biggest part of the toilet. "On three, I say we pull--if we need to rest along the way that is FINE with me--" she nodded, her dark eyes squinting at the.......long way.
Ahem.
"One--two---three--HEAVE--"
Didn't know her name? Kai supposed that introductions were in order and took that as a hint. "Nice to meet you Miss Lynley. My name is Annette Fern, but you may call me something shorter if you like, most people do." Part of her wanted to state how obvious it was that they needed to not drop the new loo but instead she simple bent at the knee and put her hands into position. "Yes Ma'am." She replied simply with a small polite smile and waited for the one...two...three....and.... Here they go? Kai put all of her strength into moving the big hunk of porcelain that defied them.
SPOILER!!: Bossman

After much ado and moving, it seemed like they were nearly there and the boss was beckoning. She wondered how it would go and if they could use this entrance now.....They hadn't since she had started and this might be interesting....
Look who had finally arrived, GABBY. Lynley shot her employee a GLARE because she was mid MOVING the toilets, and apparently it required not only all of her strength but all of her attention too.
"Yes--n-nice to meet you, Annette.." that was the mouthful. Merlin. But it was the same amount of syllables as her own name...whatever. Once they HEAVED toilet out of the truck...and did all THAT--Aron had been doing things the entire time it took Lynley and Annette to get this ONE toilet-well--not her fault she wasn't graced with STRONGER limbs from the gene pool, okay?
She patted Annette's back..."Well..thank you for the help." Mhmm. "Are most of the old toilets in the truck?" she asked Aron. Everything looked nice. They had some some REAL work here today...BACKBREAKING labor...Merlin. She was thankful for everyone that had come! She would most CERTAINLY treat them all to something...

Caught up with Logan, Megan failed to notice he had made him uncomfortable but she was very well aware that they were in a working environment so she was sensible enough to limit herself. More so, she was not going to carry on if her conscience made her think of Yuna.
She did laugh though, at the thought of Logan tripping over his feet. "Okay, I got you, Mr Not- A- Model.'' Megan did like him. He was so down to earth. She looked down at the plumbing in her arms. "I figured we would be getting new ones with the new toilets.'' It made sense. No, she wasn't going to remove all, just the ones that were going to be connecting the old toilets. So she was going to dump few of them in that truck. As she left for outside, she happened to look over at Kai. The other woman was pink in the cheeks and she wondered why, having missed the chat with Kai and Logan earlier.
....................
Megan was now taking some fresh air (after making sure that the old plumbing had been replaced) and thinking of heading over to say hi properly to Zhenya when she noticed boss man motioning to them. Time for further instructions, she thought as she headed towards him, following the others.

Well, excuuuuuuse me, Miss Department Head.
Gabby would roll her eyes, but she didn't even care that much. Besides her boss got a free pass for that glare because she was in the process of moving a toilet out of a truck. That was enough to make ANYONE cranky. Just as long as it didn't happen again things would be all good.
They were finishing up here... Did that mean she got to leave?
Gabby was taking that as a yes, so she started to inch herself away while hoping that her boss wouldn't mind.
Yeah, yeah, lady. Merlin. The driver, having finished his donut and coffee while the efficient ministry workers did their jobs, saw that all the old toilets were in the back of his truck. He put the vehicle in drive and took off!

Once inside the loo and everything squared away, Aron strolled up to the nearest stall and leaned against its slightly ajar door. "Good work everyone, I know this was not within usual parameters but we got the bulk of the work done quickly," he nodded. Maybe it wouldn't make them loose too much of their lunch and after noon after all? If the man were superstitious at all he would have knocked on some wood. "All we need to do now is make sure everything is in full functioning order. So, Lynley and I will take the ones on either end...and I'll take this one...Margaret, you can take the next one over. Charles the one after that, Logan the next one, Annette the next, Megan that one, Rusty next to her, Zhenya the one after, Micky the next, and...the Transportation employee trying to run away over there can take up the one next to Lynley." Since apparently his colleague needed to babysit that one.
"On the count of 3, we will flush ourselves in and should come out of the arrival fireplaces without any serious injury." But Healers were on call in case something did happen. Unfortunate splinching being the most likely. "Alright...everyone go stand in your toilet then."
And he then proceeded to do just that. He usually did not travel into the Ministry this way, but it seemed an almost humiliating a concept, didn't it? There were stranger things afoot though, naturally.
Always.
Also, pretty convenient that there were just enough of the things for each of them, wasn't it? Funny how things worked out sometimes.

It was no surprise that the boss man had gathered them all around to tell them it was time to test the toilets. They had all indeed done good work. Even Megan was surprised how quickly things had gotten done but the more hands on deck usually meant the faster things got completed.
She listened in silence to the instructions given by her boss. It looked like she would be testing the toilet next to Kai. Nice. The blond bobbed her head to herself. These were simple instructions though she had misgiving about these toilets. Why would anyone want to use them was a mystery to her. Luck them getting to test these first.
She stood in the assigned toilet. "All set,'' she called loudly. You know, just in case boss man could not see that she was ready since he was down at the opposite end. Just a head's up, Megan wasn't really looking forward to this but it could be fun. She would just have to wait and see.
HAHAHAHAHAH! Aron! Lynley shot him an amused look...calling out her employee like that! Merlin, it cracked her up...her bark of a laugh filling the area as she went to stand in a toilet.
Yes, she was standing in a toilet. Luckily there was no real water. That would have been...awful, right? And WHO had come up with THIS idea to get into the ministry? It was ridiculous. And terrible and...well, Lynley was GLAD she didn't use this to get in. Did ANYONE use this to get in? She supposed people who weren't connected to the floo and couldn't apparate...AND lived in muggle London...
She was ready to test these babies! And they had BETTER work because that truck had DRIVEN off already!
