**The Cultists** · 03-01-2011, 03:09 AM

Check in with Security first. For this event, Magical Law Enforcement agents are on alert and have been charged with the safety of Borr and his special guests. Depending on your status, you may or may not be permitted to approach Lord Borr and the important people of the Ministry. Everyone is subject to be searched. Also, the Security employees are responsible for handing out all the free t-shirts for this event. Ask them about YOUR free tee while checking in.

Each t-shirt is charmed to literally be one size fits all. When you put it on, you'll find it will shrink or stretch to fit you.

As you go through the checkpoint, in front of the tent's entry, which looks somewhat like a muggle metal detector, though it is really an oversized dark detector (somewhere between sneakoscope and probity probe. Don't ask about the new technology, its classified), you may be asked to step to one side and undergo a more thorough check. If you pass, you'll be sent on your way into the party with a t-shirt.

Aren't you lucky?

ooc: This Security checkpoint will be manned by the following members:

PattyH- Prometheus Hudson
RobinBoyWonder - Benjamin Amsten
SilverTiger- Dorian Tamerlane
TSnitch- Antoni Dacosta
Tegz - Evander Bole, Dept Head

You don't HAVE to RP passing through here but everyone will have come through this way at some point. Don't forget Hogwarts students are ONLY allowed if they were specially invited. Posts will be deleted if a non-invited Hogwarts student arrives as there will have been no possible way of them getting here.

The invited students are:

# Master Jacob Morgan (zoerawrr)
# Master Sabel Dakest (Tazenhani)
# Mistress Satine D'Ann Farris (lezleighd)
# Mistress Lexi Denver (Pinky)
# Master Patroclus Hudson (PattyH.)
# Mistress Iris Beaumont (Nixy!)
# Mistress Kurumi Hollingberry (sweetpinkpixie)
# Master Riley Sinclair (DanialRadFAN01)
# Master Simon Bennett (Macavity)
# Mistress Arya Lovegoods (grangerfan8)
# Master Eino Uronen (Starbreeze)
# Mistress Charlotte Kelley (scarsandtetris)

Jenny was a bit apprehensive of attending the celebration that seemed to have nearly every person of the Ministry invited to. She gave a small sigh though as she stood there, waiting to go through security, she looked at her white watch on her left wrist, not that she really cared about what time it was, she just felt she was obligated to do something while she waited for her turn.

Pushing back a stray lock of her extremely curly blond hair, Jenny stepped up in the line just a little closer to entering the celebration. She gave a smile as she looked around, this definitely was something that would be talked about for a couple of weeks, this wasn't a small little get together at some fancy place.

Smiling widely now he nodded his head once at Bole and tried to convey withhis eyes that he was going in and they had better not attempt to stop him considering the might of the Cult would rain down on him if so. "How ARE Lily and that cute boy of hers, Evander?" Alexander asked in a louder tone as he walked right past the check in and entered the part area. Ren would find him inside.l He had things to do and people to... see.

Ah. He was one of them.

... comply?

COMPLY?

Evander's glare went to the boy. If he wasn't hiding behind the influence of the damned cult, if Lily and Brysen could possibly be safe if Van reacted... well, he'd show this kid a thing or two.

It'd be painful. Evander allowed himself to imagine it in great detail to the point where he smiled.

It was a nasty and alarming sort of smile.

Alexander.

Evander made a mental note of his name and did not answer the threat.

"So Van, how come you got roped into working during a fine occasion like today?" he asked smugly, sticking his hands on his waist and watching the people poor in to recieve Lord Borr.

As he was going to leave he listened to the obviously not-true well wish and clapped the man on the shoulder. "Do try to look happy, we are getting someone in the office that can do things...plus you are scaring our guests." he grinned and then walked off a tune whistling from his mouth.

What a amazing day to be behind Borr.

Figuratively because that would be a danger zone and the smell would frankly, be dreadfull

"I'm working, as you pointed out, and so I have no time for a social visit. Perhaps you should hurry along and enjoy your party." While you still can.

Evander watched the idiot go and then went right back to looking around, alert, but clearly grumpy.

"Names Ryoma Shiradou, and this here is Marshmallow," he said addressing whoever was in charge. "I am the bartender at the Leaky Cauldron and Marshmallow is my assisant." They better allow his partner into the party. He was a member of wizarding society as much as any human.

With his bag of CDs in hand, seeing as he was sure that Lord Borr had been a fan of the bad, Kaishu approached the security check point when he noticed a younger boy with very nice hair. It was almost nicer than his! He would have to go up and introduce himself to the young man with the white cat on his shoulder once he got inside. "My name is Kaishu Shiradou. I am a transfer from the Japanese Ministry of Magic to this one." Then, he heard the boy speak. Ryoma?! Kaishu began to push his way towards the front a bit, but it was no use due to the crowd. His son was too far away.

As Ryoma waited for his security clearance, he could have sworn that he heard his old man's voice. Turning his gaze to the back of the line a little, a scowl instantly came over his face. This had to be someone's idea of a joke...

Evander wanted to say 'whatever' to the bartender kid. He did. He just did not CARE. He forced a smile that was almost polite, gestured at the t-shirts and at the others manning the security table and indicated that the boy could step on through the check point.

As for the older man.

"Interesting timing, transferring now." Van looked somewhat suspicious. Was this Japanese Ministry person one of THEM? He didn't ... have that look about him...

Warily he kept his eyes on the fellow.

"Don't forget a t-shirt. Enjoy the party." As if Van meant either of those things. Not that it was personal...

With a bright smile on her lips, the young woman stepped up to the check in just as Alexander allowed himself in. "Gretchen Montasio," She spoke up in a clear, light voice. "Also assisting with party things." And speaking of which, was Ren already inside?

"... assist away." Evander glowered, wondering what trash Martel had spun to get a young thing like this one, who seemed relatively harmless, to play ball. He made a mental note of her name too.

She had a t-shirt so all that remained was for her to go inside, passing through the checkpoint.

Van stepped to one side and continued to observe and supervise.

And wear the stupid shirt.

After Artie had given her name, he nodded hello to the security personnel and spoke. "Brett Carlen, shopkeeper of Flourish and Blotts."

Feeling something or someone gently nudge her, Artemis' first reaction was to turn slightly and look over her shoulder. Her second reaction was to beam happily up at the handsome face she had been looking for only seconds ago.

Although Artie wanted to turn fully around and hug him, she refrained for the moment and slipped her hand into his instead, focusing her attention back on the Ministry woman as she spoke.

"Thank you, you have a good day too." Taking the offered tee shirt with her free hand, Artemis waited until Brett was checked as well before leading the way into the tent.

Adjusting the shiny new red bowtie he had bought for Marshmallow the day before, Ryoma smiled at the man and turned his gaze only momentarily at his old man ~~who had no right to be in London~~. “I told you everyone would love you,” he said scratching Marshmallow behind the ears. Then he noticed the pretty blonde girl who had been in the Leaky Cauldron the other day. He would have to make sure to spend some time with her during this party – and make sure that he avoided his old man like the plague. Grabbing a t-shirt ~~that he didn’t particularly want to wear~~ Ryoma flung it over his shoulder and walked through the strange looking machine. Time to mingle!

Seeing his son go on ahead, Kaishu frowned for a moment, but tossed his hair around a bit to make himself feel better. Ryoma had done a fine job taking care of his hair. Must be using that avocado recipe he had taught him how to make at a young age.

Turning his attention back to the man, Kaishu set his bag on the table and opened it to at least 40 CDs. “Interesting is as interesting does,” he replied shaking his head a bit to show of his shiny locks. Removing his sunglasses for a moment, he winked at the man and expected some sort of reaction…but it didn’t come. “Would you care for a signed CD?” He pulled out one and immediately signed his name on it before handing it to the man. “I suppose you have heard of me, I was a member of the Winged Horesemen. Lead guitarist and occasionally drummer.”

She checked the list for the names and found them. "Here are your tee shirts. Enjoy Mr. Shiradou and sir.". Dacs handed them the tee shirts and turned to the other person in line.

"Konnichiha, Shiradou sama." she said, bowing slightly as it was how they greeted others in Japan."Enjoy." she said as she handed him a tee shirt.

Lilyan Moretti, blissfully unaware of the fact that she AND her son had only just been mentioned (and used in a threat...??) stepped up to the glaring man and cleared her throat, "I believe you already know who I am, but I can remind you, if you want." She smiled at him, knowing fully well that this was NOT what he wanted to be doing right now, and trying really hard not to giggle at the shirt.

Erindipity · 03-08-2011, 05:06 AM

Lexi Denver was HERE... at a Ministry event. How AWESOME! She DREAMT of being in the Ministry after school... perhaps she could mingle with some Aurors or something... if they weren't too busy to talk to a kid like her.

Smoothing down the front of her dress she stepped up to the TALL man that Healer Moretti was talking to and smiled meakly. "Excuse me, sir. I am Lexi Denver... here with the school group..." she said in a quiet tone. Overwhelmed much? Her? A GRYFFINDOR... NEVER!

She cast a glance around and smiled at the Healer and waited to be told what to do next.

Tazenhani · 03-08-2011, 05:07 AM

He was relieved to be out of the car and back on solid ground. His entire expression said it. What was a little more daunting however, was what lay before them. The whole security setup reminded him of a muggle airport, except for some reason more intimidating. Perhaps it was because at a muggle airport, he knew exactly what they would be looking for. Here, he had absolutely no idea.

Were wands even allowed inside the premises? He wasn't inclined to give his up if it wasn't. Just to be sure it was still on him, he briefly adjusted the holster on his wrist, drawing his sleeve back over it and the bandaging around his arm before taking Arya's hand back in his. Once comfortable again, his other hand dipped in his pocket and withdrew the parchment of invitation. They would probably need that to get through, yes?

A quick glance at Arya had him giving her a small smile before stepping up to the security area, not too sure what to say other than, "Hogwartians, reporting."

.

Kaishu flipped his head in the direction of a pretty liss miss who had address him. How charming! She spoke his language! Flipping his hair around a bit more, he took out another CD, signed it, and handed it to her. "Kireina onna no tameni," he said with a wink. Of course she would be wanting a signed CD. They were going to be worth something ~~eventually~~. Bowing to her and the other man, who now had been gifted with precious CDs, Kaishu walked through the scanner and into the party.

Standing in line with her fellow schoolmates, Kurumi fumbled with the box of cookies in her arms and tried her best not to trip over the ends of her kimono. It was more a problem of the shoes she was wearing, but she needed to make a good first impression and falling on her face was not going to do that.

Getting in line behind a man who seemed to enjoy tossing his head around a bit too much, Kurumi waited nervously until it was her turn to speak. "K-Kurumi Hollingberry," she squeaked nervously. "F-From Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy."

Just before he entered the party completely, Kaishu caught the sweet voice of a very little miss and a name that he had not heard in years. Turning around, he saw the fragile looking young girl in a kimono that he had seen before, but on her mother. So...Kurumi made it to Hogwarts after all...he smiled and tipped his sunglasses at her. He would speak to her later.

Well she certainly was excited about finally being at the event, and slightly amused by Sabel's relief for being back on solid ground. Obviously they would have to work on this whole fear of his. Straightening out her dress when she stepped out of the limo, she took back Sabel's hand and glanced at the tent with bright eyes.

The security was... surprising but expected she supposed, the man was some high ranking ministry worker now. Still, it was just a bit intimidating, or maybe that was some of the people? Arya gave the security workers a small smile, nodding in agreement with Sabel. Hogwartians here.

She was only a bit distracted by the t-shirts. Enough to speak up, eyes fixed on them. "Do we get one of the shirts?"

"Domo arigato Shiradou sama."was all she said with a small bow. before continuing her work. she smiled even though she didn't really want a cd.

itsjustjesse · 03-08-2011, 05:18 AM

Ali nodded, in response knowing that they couldn't say who was in there, she just wanted to know if today was a complete waste of her time. She would rather be stamping memos or with Jaxton. But she took the free shirt, and walked through the door. "Thanks" she smiled.

Gretchen gave a nod of her head as Evander allowed her in, she hadn't a clue why the man seemed so unhappy about the celebration but decided it best not to inquire and stay out of it. She had things to do, after all. And it was really none of her business.

About to step through, Gretchen couldn't help but overhear a young girl's question.

Turning her gaze to find the owner of the voice, Gretchen smiled at the young girl and the boy with her. "You do, just let them know when you check in that you want one." If she would even need to do that. It seemed they were being handed out anyway.

With that said, the young Witch turned on her heels and entered the tent, ready to go take care of the gift bags waiting for her.

*PhoenixRising* · 03-08-2011, 05:31 AM

Millie stared deep into the crowds as she squeezed through, bumping Merlin knew who. "Excuse me, excuse me." She murmured, wishing she'd stayed back at her flat. But Artie had told her it would be fine, so she trusted the older woman. Except ... where was her boss lady now? Shaking her head, she swallowed as she approached the scary looking security guards and caught glimpse of the t-shirts they were giving out. OH! OH! They were just too funny. "Er... Millicent Walsh, Assistant at Wheaz--Um.. Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes." Hopefully they wouldn't think anything wrong of her because she worked in a joke shop.

....

Even though the limousine was spacious enough, Professor Hadley was just relieved to be out in fresh air again. Not to mention she maybe had the potential to see some familiar faces there. It was a shame she couldn't get Issy there, but she did tell her colleague she'd bring back some memories and maybe cake. Heh. That was enough wasn't it?

Watching some of her students making their way to the check in table, she sighed blissfully at how well they seemed to be handling themselves. It was no surprise to her why they were invited to represent the school. Oh and there was Lily!! Waving and grinning ~~[like a fool]~~ at the healer, she looked over at the security people. None of them familiar sadly. Where was Martel ... or Gevrik ... or some other face she knew? "Josephina Hadley, Arithmancy Professor at Hogwarts School."

LilFox06 · 03-08-2011, 06:02 AM

Milton slowly walked up to the security check in. In his hand he clutched a flier that was placed right on his shop door. He nervously approached the check-in station. "Um. Hi." he said. "I think this means I was invited." he said holding up the flier. "I'm... uh... Milton. I work in the beauty shop..." he looked around a bit uncomfortably.

"I was invited, wasn't I? I've never actually been to a party before and it wouldn't surprise me if I wasn't this time either..."

And he might have preferred it that way. All these people were making him nervous.

*Holmesian Feline* · 03-08-2011, 06:05 AM

Simon stepped out of the car with the rest of his fellow students, his nerves returning but thankfully staying hidden at the moment. The reason for their prsence here was still a mystery and it sat ill within the sixth year. He followed the group as it mixed with the adults from Hogwarts moving up with the throng to the security checkpoint. The captain staying quiet at the moment meerly casually observing what was happening around for clues.

Charley stepped out of the limousine and put her robes in her bag, then straightened her dress, retied her hair ribbon, and walked towards security carefully behind Arya and Sabel.
This is exciting. Shame Mum couldn't come tonight. It'd be nice to see her, plus the security is a bit much.
"Charlotte Kelley, first year Ravenclaw," she said to the person manning the checkpoint she was following Arya through.
"May I have a shirt please?"

Ama · 03-08-2011, 06:34 AM

The entire event was almost offensively over the top. It didn't help that there were going to be children present. Hoshino's gaze fleeted at what he suspected to be students from the nearest Wizarding school, Hogwarts. The children weren't much of a horrifying sight if one put things into perspective. For example, they could have always been a bit more difficult to look at. In that aspect the t-shirts that Borr's supporters were wearing were infinitely more offensive and vulgar than, say, the face of the closest female teenage snot.

Ian expelled a breath as he pinched the bridge of his nose for a moment. "I expect you to be your most charming today," murmured the man, glancing down at the woman by his side. He offered her a raised brow in interrogation, waiting for her response.

sweetpinkpixie · 03-08-2011, 06:48 AM

Having changed not only his hair color, but also his facial structure using his Metamorphagus abilities, Charles arrived at the security check point wearing his best wizarding robes and carrying a small black bag that contained a few quills and parchment. He saw Kurumi, his own flesh and blood, standing in line waiting to be checked and felt his heart stopped beating entirely. Why is my daughter getting involved in this? Knowing that she wouldn’t recognize him with his disguise, he knew it would be pointless to approach her now – besides, he had already alerted Kaishu to his attendance and was sure that the Japanese man was already inside. Kaishu always was fashionably early.

Pausing for a moment as he reached the front of the line, he adjusted his wire rimmed glasses. “Winston Lionheart,” he said calmly peering over the list and seeing his name there. Looked like his connections at the Ministry and pulled through for him. He had to be careful, there was no telling what these Cultist people were capable of doing – especially if they knew his real identity. Not to mention, it would be putting his daughter in great danger.

Lockhartian · 03-08-2011, 07:22 AM

It must be Ian's fault. Or perhaps Plymouth forgot something.

How come THE Daily Prophet Staff had to go through such security? Not even when she was forced, yes, forced, to attend the Quidditch World Cup did Sienna went through such security.

Still. That wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that t-shirt she'd heard of. A t-shirt that would never go with her outfit, of course. It was a good thing she had a jacket with her usual attire.

The woman still smiled at the Ministry person when she approached them, "Sienna Knoll, Daily Prophet." She said, no need to mention her full name, nor her exact position. Sienna merely showed the ID and her camera. Managing Editor and Photojournalist at the same time was a lot to manage, so, Photojournalist, for now. Until Plymouth showed up.

Oh, dear Morgana. Plymouth.

Boy Wonder · 03-08-2011, 07:31 AM

My goodness.

Benjamin Amsten had gotten dressed in his suit and tie as always. Had all his work prepared for the day, and when he apparated to the Ministry, OH, Lord Wild Borr decided we have the day off. WONDERFUL. So i guess Ben's research on the man's egotistical past will have to wait yet another day. GREAT.

NOT TO MENTION, The New Yorker now has to work check in. Which is a joke, because all he had to do was hand out T-Shirts. That was ridiculous. Ben went from having a masters in criminology and being an official Detective to handing out T-Shirts... OF, LORD BORRING.

But wait. THERE'S MORE.

Ben had to WEAR the T-shirt himself. Well, he was REQUESTED to. But, based on Bert and Ern-y's rep, he did not exactly want to be yelled at in front of the entire ministry of magic. So, the man complied. He was wearing a Fedora, blue T-Shirt, and suit pants. What else was Ben going to wear?

There was one other thing Benjamin had been adding to his fashion repertoire, and that's sunglasses. He had not mastered Occlumency... yet... So for now, to avoid Gevrik's mind reading gaze, he had been wearing sunglasses, or big bottled glasses, in front of all these ministry folk. The Detective didn't know who to trust.

Oh well, approaching the tent Ben approached Van, giving him a swift and annoyed"Hello." He could tell just on Evander's body language that he was NOT happy as well. Going right on the job, Ben threw on a fake smile, and grabbed a pile of T-Shirts and a clip board to write down names.

Shaking her head, she swallowed as she approached the scary looking security guards and caught glimpse of the t-shirts they were giving out. OH! OH! They were just too funny. "Er... Millicent Walsh, Assistant at Wheaz--Um.. Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes." Hopefully they wouldn't think anything wrong of her because she worked in a joke shop.

Ah. First customer for Ben. "Hello, Ms. Walsh," Benjamin said over excitedly (on purpose.) "Here's your t-shirt! Enjoy yourself!" Ben summoned his inner Disney Cast Member as he said these phoney lines. He wrote the lady's name down on a clipboard.

Watching some of her students making their way to the check in table, she sighed blissfully at how well they seemed to be handling themselves. It was no surprise to her why they were invited to represent the school. Oh and there was Lily!! Waving and grinning ~~[like a fool]~~ at the healer, she looked over at the security people. None of them familiar sadly. Where was Martel ... or Gevrik ... or some other face she knew? "Josephina Hadley, Arithmancy Professor at Hogwarts School."

Well, that last person was hard enough. Who's next?

"Hello, professor!" Ben said, sarcasm low on that one. I had no idea Hogwartians were invited... "Please, have a T-shirt." He handed over the hideous thing that he too was wearing. "Enjoy yourself." Another person down...

"I was invited, wasn't I? I've never actually been to a party before and it wouldn't surprise me if I wasn't this time either..."

And he might have preferred it that way. All these people were making him nervous.

"Hello, Milton." The Detective greeted. He then looked at the flyer through his sunglasses, the man faked chuckle. "Yes, I'm quite sure you're invited." My god. Fake enthusiasm. Acting classes from when I was 8, don't fail me now. Ben wrote the man's name down before handing him, "You're free t-shirt! Enjoy yourself!"

More people, more people...

The captain staying quiet at the moment meerly casually observing what was happening around for clues.

Oh.... Um... A kid....

"Can I help you?" The Detective said to the boy.

Knowing that she wouldn’t recognize him with his disguise, he knew it would be pointless to approach her now – besides, he had already alerted Kaishu to his attendance and was sure that the Japanese man was already inside. Kaishu always was fashionably early.

Pausing for a moment as he reached the front of the line, he adjusted his wire rimmed glasses. “Winston Lionheart,” he said calmly peering over the list and seeing his name there. Looked like his connections at the Ministry and pulled through for him. He had to be careful, there was no telling what these Cultist people were capable of doing – especially if they knew his real identity. Not to mention, it would be putting his daughter in great danger.

Oh, great. The first shifty looking guy.

Ben looked through his sunglasses at the... nervous man? The New Yorker tried to read this guy, and only got carefulness... and shiftyness. "Can I see some ID, please?"

Still. That wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that t-shirt she'd heard of. A t-shirt that would never go with her outfit, of course. It was a good thing she had a jacket with her usual attire.

The woman still smiled at the Ministry person when she approached them, "Sienna Knoll, Daily Prophet." She said, no need to mention her full name, nor her exact position. Sienna merely showed the ID and her camera. Managing Editor and Photojournalist at the same time was a lot to manage, so, Photojournalist, for now. Until Plymouth showed up.

Oh, dear Morgana. Plymouth.

As soon as this woman approached Ben, he could tell she was from the Prophet. She was annoyed, impatient, and had a camera. ... The camera gave it away. Ben just handed her a T-Shirt after writing her name down and said, "Of course. Enjoy yourself, Ms. Knoll."

"Of course," Charles smiled pulling out his Ministry ID and handing it over to the man. It was authentic of course, but he had to be careful since he was going undercover and trying to figure out all the strange activity going on here in Britain. News had spread all the way to the Japanese Ministry about the changes happening in terms of wizarding-muggle relations, and it cause a knot to form in his stomach. Knowing very well how all this was having an emotional effect on his daughter. He had to suppress the urge to whip out his poster sized picture of her seeing as that would blow his cover entirely. "Glad to see you guys are running a tight operation here," he noted adjusting his glasses a bit and flicking his eyes towards the most...sketchy looking characters.

Ben looked the ID over before looking at the man himself. He noticed subtle differences in his facial features between his face and his picture on the ID. But everything checked out. "There's a lot of important people here. Wouldn't want anything to go down," the New Yorker said handing back the ID.

Benjamin wrote down the man's name before handing Charles his free T-Shirt. "Enjoy yourself!"

For example, they could have always been a bit more difficult to look at. In that aspect the t-shirts that Borr's supporters were wearing were infinitely more offensive and vulgar than, say, the face of the closest female teenage snot.

Ian expelled a breath as he pinched the bridge of his nose for a moment. "I expect you to be your most charming today," murmured the man, glancing down at the woman by his side. He offered her a raised brow in interrogation, waiting for her response.

Emmanuelle Leroy stood in all her five feet, six inches glory and surveyed her surroundings with a borderline detached expression. Given the tight security, one would expect the King and Queen and England to waltz in any minute now, instead of a Lord of sorts. It was all quite ridiculous, as most of these events were, and Emmy found herself looking forward to the sight of the selective group of Hogwarts students that had been invited.

Not only did teenagers managed to make the brunette feel like an adolescent herself, all over again, but their sometimes scandalous and inappropiate behaviour amused her.

With no children in sight, however, she could content herself with the quaint t-shirts they were handing. Choosing to ignore Ian's remark, for it sounded as if he was speaking to an often misbehaved child, Emmy directed herself to the nearest member of security since Ian had failed to do so himself. She spoke in her clear, high voice that carried the traces of a very faint french accent, "Ian Hoshino, Daily Prophet Editor. And fiance."
