Catlin watched as the Anna and Lilly got to work on the cloaks when a memo flew into the office and landed on her desk, she gave a sigh as she read it and began to wish her other staff members had turned up
"Okay ladies i need you to continue working on the cloaks, we need find an answer to the problem as soon as possible"
She double checked the memo again then added
"Once we are done with them we also need to begin inspecting the equipment for the world cup, There are also some other jobs that need to be done but someone will need to go on a small field trip before we can start them"
Placing the piece of parchment down on her desk again she attempted a smile before looking around the empty room
"I would like to thank you both for the hard work you are doing, I understand it isnt easy with so much to do and only us three but i promise it will be worth it.....Im going to get a strong coffee from the break room before i head out for more information, would either of you like one?"

Lily looked up as Catlin spoke to them.
"Yeah, sure, I'd love a coffee. But I think I may have found a solution for this cloak..."Lily said as shr took the cloak in one hand and grabbed her wand with the other.

"Mobiliamiculum!" Lily said as she pointed her wand at the cloak.
Hopefully, her immobilis counterspell had worked.

ooc: I don't know if the spell would work, it means "mobile cloak" in latin, I found the word for cloak in Latin online. I guess Catlin can decide if it works or not.

“Yes I would love a cup of coffee” she said, but as she said she looked at Lily to what she did with the clock in her hand. “Oh you found it, good, I hope that works”.

A paper airplane flies into the room and comes to a rest on your desk, unfolding and smoothing out to reveal...

Don't give into the injustice. Stand up and walk out for what you believe. Join the hundreds of Wizarding Workers who are opposed the Ministry's prejudice against those who are different! There will be a mass walk out on Saturday at 4 p.m. to show your support for those who have none. Take to the streets of Diagon Alley and stand up for what is right!

Catlin looked impressed as her co workers worked on the cloaks "Very well done, that sounds like it may work however we wont be able to say for sure until it is tried on again, i will leave that in your capable hands while i get the coffees" She then turned and left the office

"Hey, i'll come too and she followed to the break room."

"Yes, I suppose that's true..." Lily said as she put the cloak down. Breathing hard, she put the cloak on with shaking fingers. And, to her surprise, the cloak didn't immobilise her.

"Oh, yay, it worked!" Lily said to no one in particular as both Anna and Caitlin had gone to get the coffees.

Lily took the cloak off and placed it on a chair as she waited for the coffees--she needed a break--and someone to talk to. As she sat down, she noticed the flyers that had flown into the room while they had been working. She picked htem up and read them one by one.

Hmm, this was interesting. Since Lily was always pro-muggle, she had nothing against werewolves. Well, the tame ones, at least. She really hoped they would be able to go see the World Cup--it would so unjust for them to not be able to go.

Unsure of quite what his position in the Office was, Seth pushed the door open, the letter that held his job position on, tightly screwed up in his hand. He wasn't happy about being there. For a starter, he'd of preferred to be a part of the Mysteries Department. It seemed a lot more interesting, plus, Alyss worked there some of the time.

Looking into the room timidly, he bit down on his bottom lip. It looked like there was only one woman in the room at that moment. Quickly looking behind him to make sure that there wasn't anyone standing just at his back, Seth slid into the Office. "Uhum... I'm looking for..." Ergh... He'd forgotten his division head's name already. "The division head..?"

Smooth.

Lily whipped around as someone came in. She had been alone for so long that she was quite surprised when the man entered. After bringing her eyes back to their normal size (As they were wide because of the surprise), Lily offered the man a smile.

"Oh, you mean Catlin? Last time I checked, she was in the break room. But she might have left," She replied, biting her lip. But she held out her hand anyway, and introduced herself.

"I'm Lily, though. And you are...?" She asked him, her eyebrows raised slightly.

Andrew opened the door and looked around with his usually smirk. He read the parchment he had been sent by the Ministry one last time before he began to look for the divison head. It'd be fun to work though he would rather be a great Quidditch player, sadly if he was to have a life he get a quick job. He saw a man that was speaking to a woman he too seemed quite lost. "Hello mate" he said the man slapping him on the back "so where's out division head?"

Ah. That was possibly why she wasn't in the Office at that moment in time. Just about to leave again, Seth caught the woman's outstretched hand in the corner of his eye. This possibly meant that he was supposed to shake it and introduce himself back to her. Darn his lack of social skills.

"Uh, hey," Taking her hand in his, Seth briefly shook it, "I'm Seth." About to add "new here" to the end of his sentence, he swallowed it back down. Not the most intelligent thing to add.

Suddenly letting go of Lily's hand as if it were burning him, Seth turned to the man who'd just walked in and grinned. YAY. He wasn't alone in this whole new thingy. "Y'alright." He responded, more as a greeting than a question, "Apparently," gesturing toward Lily, "She's in the break room..." Looking back at Lily again he bit his bottom lip, "But... But I'm sure we should be allowed to get on with some work... Right?"

Lily noticed how he suddenly let go of her hand. She eyed him carefully, and then spoke.

"Nice to meet you, Seth." Her voice was curt and professional.

Noticing another guy walk in, Lily turned to him. But before she could give him the same explanation, Seth filled him in. She smiled at him briefly before turning to her desk and shiffling some papers.

"It's nice to see some new faces, boys. But I'm afraid I can't give out any work because that would be Catlin's job. And seeing as she is not here right now, you can relax a bit. We just finished up with the World Cup and so things are a bit quiet right now. But I'm sure we'll get some work soon." She turned around looked at them.

"So it means we just sit here and wait for the boss?" asked Andrew turning to the woman with a smile. "So when our boss Miss. Catlin gets back she'll give us the assignments right?" Andrew just wanted to be sure. He wasn't going to make a fool of himself on the first day of work.

Lily nodded her head at the other man. What was his name, again?

"That's right, uhhh...what's your name?" She asked him politely.

"Andrew Grey" he said putting his hands into his robe pocket. "Sorry I forgot to mention that earlier dear" Andrew added grabbing her hand and shaking it.

Lily met his hand halfway and then shook it. And then she heard what he had said. Dear?! How old was he, like 40? She gave him a confused smile and then let go of his hand.

"Andrew," She repeated his name. "Nice to meet you. I guess you boys can have a seat or something..." Lily's voice trailed off as she began rumagging around in her bag for her favorite quill.

Anna entered in the office from the break room and saw Lily standing with some new employees "Oh hey, Lily i thought you'll be coming in the break room too with me and Catlin" she said and looked around at the new employees smiling and said

"Hey, I’m Anna and what are your names, how good to see some more new faces around here in the office it's been a long time when i've seen someone new here, so how are you two boys feeling about the new job? Now it would be more exciting to do our work with few more staff in the office, right Lily" she said and waited to what they had to say.

"My name's Andrew" said the brown haired man taking a seat he glanced up at Anna "Soo Anna what is we do around here anyway?" he asked with a smile as he played around with his wand.

"Hmm, we wait for Catlin to come" she said taking a seat for herself and asked Lily and the other guy to take a seat too.

Anna got the latest news of the contest, so she thought to take part in it as she loved competitions "Hope you guys are coming too" she said to the new employees and Lily and walked towards the break room

Why was it that the first day on a job always turned into a pretty stressful ordeal as soon as Christian arrived at the right floor? He had cast a quick glance at the letter he had received superfluously. Then clearing his throat and readjusting his tie, he pushed through the door of the Office of Counterfeit Magic with the most confidence he could summon and entered.

Christian took a moment to take in the brightly lit office. It was certainly interesting in here. He let his eyes wander around at the posters that decorated the walls as he walked in. It wasn't long before he realized that there didn't seem to be anyone else in there. He glanced at his letter again, as if the answer to why was written on it. Maybe he had gotten off the elevator at the wrong floor.

Anna entered the office after the meeting was over held in the break room, as she entered she saw a new face "Hmm, who's this, maybe a new employee" she thought and said "Hello, I’m Anna Smith" raising her right hand forward for a hand shake, "Are you new in here?" she asked.

Footsteps? Christian heard them approaching and he turned around to face the woman who had just arrived. Oh, good, maybe he hadn't gotten lost. He would never admit it, but that seemed to happen a good amount.

He listened as the woman introduced herself as Anna Smith. "Nice to meet you," he said, extending his right hand to shake hers. "I'm Christian Stregone. And yes, I'm new here," he added, halfway sure that "here" was the Office of Counterfeit Magic and Equipment Control. By the looks of the office, it seemed that way.
