RP: Why does cafeteria food always suck? Date: March 8, 2001 Characters: Maddox and OPEN Location: cafeteria, Ministry of Magic Public/Private: Public Summary: It's lunch time for the Head of the Aurors. Come talk to him. Status: Incomplete
Maddox set down with the tray of food with a look of mild disgust on his face. Normally, he'd take his lunch elsewhere and get something more decent than Ministry food, but he had work to do in the office and didn't feel the need to take the time to leave the Ministry only to come back. He teased the idea of taking the food up to his office anyway, just to avoid the crowd. But quickly the idea was pushed aside in favor of not making a mess in his office he'd have to contend with later.
Sitting down at a table, he quickly began to eat his lunch, trying to ignore those around him for the moment. It was rather comical the way people grouped together and gossiped in each loud or hushed voices. It seemed that everything had their own opinion on what should be heard by everyone. In Maddox's mind, nothing they were talking about - who was sleeping with who, who might get fired, who went out last night and who didn't - really mattered in the long run. They were entertaining themselves with everyone else's life because they had nothing better to do.
