Welcome all, to the beginings of Operation Birthday Office.
As some of you already know, Nathan's birthday is coming up this Monday. I would have called for an in-person gathering, but all of us wandering off at the same time, no matter how clandestinely, this close to his birthday will have him generating suspicions before we even get things rolling.
I'm aware this is extremely short notice, but with all the particularly time-consuming madness that's been occurring the past few weeks, none of us have had the pause needed to mull over the normal things.
Obviously we'll all be getting him our own seperate gifts; but what Nathan needs more than and ontop of the usual birthday fanfare is an office. As the live-in lawyer, we need him to be able to find the door out of his room for all the piles of paperwork in the event we forget to pay our parking tickets or finally crack and engage in a duel over the last box of Mac and Cheese in the pantry and need him to look into the legal grounds of modern-day honorable stabbings. With only the weekend to work this through, it's not going to be anything singularly fancy; just a room to keep the lawyerly trappings, as well as paperwork and a place for getting it all done. The room designated is #3 on the second floor.
This is not a one or two person job; and one will get you twenty that this will mean much more coming from all of us. I've drawn up a pre-emptive list of jobs, but you're all welcome to reply to me for changes and ideas, as well as help eachother out in any way possible:
PETER
1) Moving Furniture- (Including cabinets, desks, etc) This will be your primary responsibility, as being brother gives you the honor of handing Most Of The Grunt Work.
2) Interference- Clog up that brain of yours, and help keep him occupied between moving things. It shouldn't be too difficult; he has plenty of pre-wedding stories to try traumatizing you with.
3) Painting- The ceiling, or at least part of it. This saves us the worry of having a ladder around at all times.
ANGELA
1) Supply Pickup- I will be needing you to pick up the office supplies. Having them delivered directly to the hotel would be supsicious. They're custom-order, and will be waiting for you at the Fed-Ex office on Sunday. You'll be using my car; keys will be at the front desk. Sign for the packages under your name.
2) Confettii- Prepare to become most fond of Mr. Hole Puncher. You two will be spending the next few days getting to know eachother. This entitles you to the largest bag to be upended on Nathan's head.
3) Additional assignments will be come-as-we-go.
CHARLIE
1) Filing- You're aquainted with Nathan's filing system by now, and we need to get everything transfered into the filing cabinets and onto the shelves once they're in place. This is going to be one of the time-consuming portions, but I trust your ability to get it done, and I'll be assigning you help(Claire [Brunette] and Hiro [The Elder]).
2) Interference- Wherever needed.
3) Additonal assignments will be come-as-we-go.
CLAIRE (BLONDE)
1) Supply Ordering- The letterheads have already been ordered, but he's going to need everything from erasers, desk blotters and paperclips to sticky-notes, phone message sheets, and those plastic mats that go under rolling chairs. There's a pre-emptive list ready for you, but if you can think of anything else, go ahead and order it. Express shipping, charged to my personal credit account; I should already be on-file with the supplier we'll be using.
2) Painting- Put on something you don't mind getting splattered, and jump right in. The floor is already tarped, and the primer is waiting for whenever you want to get started. Monty and Simon will be helping you from time to time; alongside myself, Peter, Hiro (The Younger), Toby, and whoever else finds the time. If you could also keep an eye on the younger helpers and make sure no lengthy paint-war insues, I'd be greatful, as I'll be running in and out during the painting stages.
3) Interference- You'll be running some alongside Peter and others. Make sure to do it strictly via phone calls and text messages during the days, as you're bound to be a bit paint-traced then. Keep an ear out in the halls during the night, to make sure he doesn't try snooping.
CLAIRE (BRUNETTE)
1) Filing- I'm entrusting you to Charlie. She's going to need help transfering all of Nathan's case files and notes from where they are now to the cabinets in the new office.
2) Supply Distribution- Once, and during, the filing, all the pens, notepads, paperclips, staplers, etc. need to be either unwrapped for immediate use, or put away for when he runs out and needs more. Don't worry too much about where everything in the drawers/on the desks belongs, as Nathan can always shuffle things around while settling in. Concentrate on pretty, professional, and presentable.
3) Additional assignments will be come-as-we-go. An extra eye on the boys would be appreciated, alongside Claire's.
CORDELIA
1) Confetti- Prepare to become most fond of Mr. Hole Puncher. You two will be spending the next few days getting to know eachother. You will be assisting Angela in this, and will be entitled to the second the largest bag to be upended on Nathan's head.
GABRIEL
1) Wiring- If there's anything you think #3 needs by way of extra phone lines, see to it as soon as you're able.
2) Hardware- I have a vauge understanding of copy machines, but I'd like you to take a look at the one that will be going up there to make sure it's in order. If you could also test the fax equipment and lines in the room, I'd be greatful.
3) Security- Considering the amount of AI paperwork and legal documentation this office is going to house, an additional security measure on the room might be a good idea. It doesn't have to go in by Monday, as those things take time to build and install, but if you have any ideas or preferences for it, I'd love to hear them, and start pulling together schematics to run by Peter and Cordelia for approval. A way to keep him from sneaking into the room, but allow us in and out during the painting/filing would be great; especially since we'll need the windows open for circulation, and he may try to peek in through there.PLINY HIRO (THE ELDER)
1) Filing- You'll be working under Charlie to see that all the paperwork and files makes it's way into the proper cabinets. Other details of this job will be provided by her, as she finds and needs them. You'll also be working with Claire (Brunette)
2) Moving Furniture- As/If Peter needs the help. You'll be teleporting the cabinets, desks, etc. up to the office, rather than carrying them to keep the risk of being spotted by Nathan to a minimum.
3) Interference- Wherever needed.PLINY HIRO (THE YOUNGER)
1) Painting- Put on something you don't mind getting splattered, and jump right in. The floor is already covered, and the primer is waiting for whenever you want to get started. Claire (Blonde), Peter, myself, Toby, and Monty and Simon will be helping you; as well as whoever else has the time.
2) Interference- As needed. Distract Flying Man! Listen closely at night, to make sure he doesn't try to sneak inside the room.
3) Additional assignments will be come-as-we-go.
SARAH
1) Re-Upholstering- Yes, I know your secret. A couple of the office items I have picked out are in need of some minor repairs; you'll find them, and the list, in Room #32.
2) Interference- Since you'll be one of the few of us not covered in paint, you'll be assiting Peter--and others--in keeping him busy in the interim.
3) Intervention- Keep Simon and Monty from dropping hints. I doubt they will, but if Nathan gets suspicious, he may begin to target the boys for information.
TOBY
1) Painting- Just as it sounds. Get on some clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and get ready to jump in as early as possible. You'll be working with Monty, Simon, Claire (Blonde), Hiro (The Younger), myself, Peter, and whoever else wants to lend a hand.
2) Drinks and Snacks- Every time someone starts working, I want you to be sure there is plenty of bottled water, sodas, etc in the cooler we'll have up there. I'll have a check list, and it will be your job to make sure we stay stocked.
3) Additional assignments will be come-as-we-go.
