A small office, of four walls with desk, two chairs, stacks of parchments-paperwork for those wanting to charm an object for transport, a filing cabinet and the like. There was no technology here, which sometimes frustrated the inhabitant of this room. He did have however, photos of all sorts of transports both magical and muggle. Trains on rails, diesel and steam - including a photo of the Hogwarts train. Buses...yellow ones with black stripes from the US and big red ones from the local muggle cities. Planes fascinated him, such power and aerodynamics...amazing stuff. These were old photos, taken with an old muggle camera...it didn't work here. He had put up a couple shelves with toys representing buses of all makes, collected on his travels.      This was his office. (i own whats in pic 1 & 3, & I took the train pic ; not sure byt that blue one I might have been in when it was here in Cali on display. it's a demo bus hehe) |

*The Baron makes his way to the Department of Transport to talk to someone about arranging something a little different to use. He notices an office with a name of someone he does not recognise and so decides to meet the new person and deal with him.
He knocks on the door.*

*He was still settling in, arranging his pictures collection, and wishing the office looked more like home than a stuffy room. He looked under the desk for something, not really knowing what he was looking for. His attention was torn from his quest when someone had knocked. He quickly tucked and adjusted his clothes, which despite being a comfortable blue kimono and baggy black hakama, it seem to fit in the robe intensive world. He looked slick, and felt it.*
Come in!
*He tried to make himself look professional, he'd do his best.*

*He pushes the door open gently and nods in greeting to the wizard in the room.*
*Sliding the door closed behind him he introduces himself.*
Hello. Papanoida's the name. Nero Papanoida. Pleasure to meet you sir.
*He holds out his hand to shake.*

"Ah, hello!"
*He stood up instinctively bowing but then taking the other man's hand in a shake. *
"Very good to meet you sir. I am new in department, Tomishima Matsugoro. Come, have a seat."
*He motioned towards one of the seats as he took his own.*
"What may I help you with? Portkey, of course?"

*He takes the seat graciously and nods.*
A portkey of sorts.
*He leans his elbows on the desk*
You see, in my line of work, myself and my coworkers are often in need of sending each other messages privately and without fear of interception. Owls are too easy to catch and Patronuses are too obvious if seen.
I would like to have organised a portkey type method of mailing. Something that my subordinates can carry on them which they could use to instantly send and receive notes.
Can you do this for me?

"Hmm...this could be challenging. I will not say no, this should be possible. If muggle things can be used here, you could have invested in electric devices that send messages...so we need something like this, but different.
*It was sad that the common things he knew while living in the muggle world were useless here, things would be so much easier.*
I would use a thing that is ...unnotice...like rock, or a thing commonly carried by user so it does not stand out. Unless you do have some specific in mind?"

*He shakes his head.*
No nothing specific, but maybe some sort of ring or bracelet or anything that is not conspicuous. We do not want to draw any attention to them. Subtlety is key.
It would probably be best if there were various different items, so that they do not become recognised as uniform.

*he nodded*
"Very well, rings, bracelets, watches, good luck charms might even be a common device, a silly muggle "rabbits foot". It should be something they already own, collect these things and bring them here for processing. This would be the smartest in my opinion, presently owned items will not bring attention. What would make them more secure, that the item is charmed to recognize the owner, if it falls into the wrong hands, it becomes useless."

*He nods in agreement.*
Yes. Personal belongings are a good idea. I will see what I can collect from them and bring them back here for you.
Thank you for your help.

To help is my job, I be prepared to process these things right away! Ah, here-"
*He turned and pulled out some parchment.*
"You can start paper work, here is application and list for objects to be charmed."
*He set those on the table before Nero.*
Bring all here then I process, I send owl when it is ready.

*He takes the forms and puts them under his arm as he stands.*
Many thanks again Mr Matsugoro.
Pleasure doing business with you.
*He holds out his hand to shake once more.*

*Matsu stood, shaking the man's hand heartily*
"My pleasure, I will see you soon! Have a good day!"
*He gave a nod as the man left, then settling back in his office. Quite proud of himself that he had began his first request. This was an interesting project presented to him. It all should be no problem. Matsu would do his best to see a solution to everything.
Ah but the name...he shook his head, he would give up trying to correct those who didn't understand the Japanese name stucture. He would go as "Mr. Mastu" if that was the way it to be.*
