[nospaces][googleFont=Archivo+Black] [attr="class","eclair"] [attr="class","eclair-header"] [attr="class","eclair-lyrics"]"There Are No Mistakes, Only Happy Accidents." [attr="class","eclair-clear"] [attr="class","eclair-wrapper"] [attr="class","eclair-post"] Alice did her best to "speed walk" with a hot cup of orange tea in her hands. She felt like it had taken forever to get to the tea pot in the break room, and then forever to make the tea. Now she felt the need to book it to the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. A lot of people were in her way, and she was too polite to let anything out other than a quiet "Pardon me please." Somehow, she didn't spill any tea on anyone. She was glad. Scolding some high-ranking Ministry official would have been quite awkward. [break][break] Making her way into the department and into her small desk, she placed the tea down. She blew off her hands, and still looking down, she said, "I'm terribly sorry I'm late everyone, but..." She then looked up to see that half the department wasn't there, and that two of three people were slowly walking in sipping their coffee and tea. She checked her pocket watch necklace and blushed a bit. [break][break] "But... I'm... early," she said. "Twenty minutes early. That's right, the break room clock's broken. Oh Hippogriff Feathers." She sat and sipped her tea before she saw some parchment on her desk. "Well, at least I get to enjoy my te... oh hello Barney." Barney tossed an assignment on her desk and told her they were sending an Obliviator to meet her right away. As Barney dashed off again, Alice slowly placed her tea down and looked over the parchment.

March 15th, 2025 Finley had been at work for three hours already, working an earlier morning shift today. So far he didn't have to do any obliviating, so he just caught up on paperwork, but then he got an assignment a few minutes ago. His boss told him where to go and he leaned back, finishing his last sip of tea before standing. He straightened out his shirt, and made his way to the department. He was glad to have some work. Since Jess had broken up with him only a few days ago, it was hard to keep himself distracted and not get down about it. Not to mention the fact that he was planning on leaving Elaine and the Purifiers... it was a scary thought, he wasn't ready yet. He walked into the room, smiling as he sat down, "oh hey, Alice. I think we're working together today," he nodded toward the file, "is that it?"@alice

[nospaces][googleFont=Archivo+Black] [attr="class","eclair"] [attr="class","eclair-header"] [attr="class","eclair-lyrics"]"There Are No Mistakes, Only Happy Accidents." [attr="class","eclair-clear"] [attr="class","eclair-wrapper"] [attr="class","eclair-post"] The assignment seemed quite clear. Some young, foolish wizard (or cruel prankster) had made a statue come to life in some park in London. Far too Muggles were currently witnessed it. So, it was simple: Alice took care of the statue, and the Obliviator who was heading her would take care of the Muggles. Depending on the park, it was going to be a big job all around. [break][break] Alice was just finished reading the report when she was, ever mousy and nervous, was startled by the sudden voice. She "eeped" as she rose, and nearly knocked over her tea. She managed to catch the cup in time. She was glad. That was be a bad waste of good orange tea. [break][break] "Oh!" she said. "Good... good morning, Finley." She rose and cleared her throat a bit. "Yes... and yes. We are working together and here's the file." She handed it to him with an awkward smile. "Animated statue in Hyde Park... we should probably go before it wanders off... too far." She grabbed her wand and looked at him as she walk. "Morning going well, Finley? All things considered?"

She made a small noise when he spoke, almost knocking over her tea. He squinted a little, his look apologetic. She said good morning though, greeting him, and he took the file when she offered it. He flipped through the notes, nodding his head as she explained. "Yikes," he muttered. What kind of wizard thought this was a good idea? Probably someone making a stupid joke. He was definitely not in the mood for jokes these days. They started moving forward, and she asked about his morning. He shrugged, "yeah, yeah," he spoke softly. "All things considered," he repeated. Really, it was the perfect way to ask him about his morning. There were a lot of things to be considered and this was the best morning that he could really have under the circumstances, so there wasn't much to complain about. Now if they could find this statue quickly so he could obliviate as little people as possible, that'd be good. "Oh, and yours?" he realized he hadn't asked right away. @alice

[attr="class","eclair-clear"] [attr="class","eclair-wrapper"] [attr="class","eclair-post"] As Finley spoke of his day and asked Alice about hers, she stepped over to a fireplace to use the FLOO Network. She closed her eyes and remembered the best spot to pop out at to get to Hyde Park in time. However, she made sure to give her colleague a quick answer before she stepped in. [break][break] "Wonderful," she said. "Thought I was late to work, but I wasn't. Maintenance really needs to see what's cursed that break room clock though. Second time it's fooled me." [break][break] Using the FLOO powder and saying the correct name (something Alice learned the hard way to make sure to do many years before), she poofed out of the Ministry and emerged above, wiping the excess powder off her robe. She turned and awaited Finley. [break][break] "I really hope the situation isn't all that..." She then heard the sound of metal repeatedly hitting concrete outside and a few Muggles screaming. "It's bad." She took a deep breath and readied her wand.

She said that her day was wonderful, but he wasn't sure if she was being sarcastic or not. She was on time for work, so at least that fear wasn't an issue. He chuckled about the break room clock. "Actually, I think they have fixed it but someone keeps changing it as a prank," he guessed. "Because it's like every other time I go in there it's in a different realm of correctness or not," he explained. He could actually think of a few people who would find that funny, like the Jim guy from the patent office. He'd probably do something like that. Finley took his turn with the floo after Alice went through, and immediately heard the sounds. He turned to Alice, giving her a short nod of greeting. "Here we go," he breathed, started toward the sound. It didn't take long to turn the corner and see the statue wreaking it's havoc. Finley sighed, "okay, I've got to wipe the ones who are trying to get away, can you handle the statue for a minute?"@alice

[nospaces][googleFont=Archivo+Black] [attr="class","eclair"] [attr="class","eclair-header"] [attr="class","eclair-lyrics"]"There Are No Mistakes, Only Happy Accidents." [attr="class","eclair-clear"] [attr="class","eclair-wrapper"] [attr="class","eclair-post"] Pranks, pranks, all the time. So much of Alice's work was dealing with pranks. Crueler wizards liked to pull pranks on Muggles, Muggleborns, or just people they looked down on in general. It was accidental magic, but Alice had to come in and correct it anyway. She wondered if she would be asked to change the clock. At least she wasn't an Auror, and didn't have to investigate the culprit. Alice had dealt with enough dark magic in her life time. [break][break] "Well hopefully they'll be found, or I'm going to have to stop making my tea in there," she said. She then sighed. "But I enjoy making my tea in there." She sighed again as she finished the rest of the cup she was drinking. [break][break] Alice nodded as Finley asked her to handle the statue. She could do that. She had done it before. Plus, the statue looked friendly enough... not that a lot of statues had positive or negative traits. She made her way over with her wands and the statue stopped to stare at her. [break][break] "Yes, could you do that... but over there... where you originally were," she said. The next thing she knew the statue was charging at her. And it didn't help that the statue was a soldier... with a sword. She quickly aimed her wand. "Perificus Tota..." She couldn't finish the spell as a panicked Muggle ran into her and knocked her down. As she looked about for her wand, she also looked up to see the statue closing in on her. [break][break] "Oh Hippogriff Feathers..." she muttered.
