Olivia had only just really gotten started with her days work. She would always spend the first couple of hours of her day working through paperwork, lab reports, and filing data. Clerical work. None of her other colleagues deemed it necessary, and so she often would pick up the slack for them. She didn't enjoy either, but she was the youngest, and the easiest target for the others to pile it on to.

She clicked off the monitor of her computer, and stood up to dress into her lab coat when she heard her phone chime in her pocket. It was a very specific ringtone - the tone that alerted her that someone from Magbelievers.com had sent in an urgent report. This didn't happen very often but when it did.. It was enough to pull Olivia's attention to whatever it was.

Sure enough she opened her phone, and one of the Magic Conspiracy geeks had posted a link to a news article about a strange train explosion in Jefferson National Forest. The news wasn't quite onto what had really happened, and immediately the press were blaming the very group who were protesting the railway in the first place. Olivia knew better, Olivia knew that this was no terrorist attack - at least not a terror attack caused by someone like her.

This was a magic attack. Her fellow conspiracy geeks had found footage of a strange man walking away from the scene with a smirk. She opened the photo and looked at his face - his eyes. "They're so evil...." she muttered under her breath, unaware that her colleague, Dennis was behind her. "Whaz evil?" he asked, peering over her shoulder to look at her phone screen, his hooked nose just inches from her face - his grey nose hairs poking out of his wide nostrils - all spiky and disgusting.

"N-nothing! Just you know, stuff..." Olivia said. She was a terrible liar. "Didja file my lab reports Liv?" he asked, backing off to give his nose a scratch with his thumb - momentarily his nose hairs pushed back into the nostril - and just as quickly as they were gone, one by one they began to peak back out again. "I did, I just need to go up to the next floor to get some more toner for our printer so I can print.... you lab reports, for you, and Colin..." she stuttered over her words, pacing for the door of the office. "Sure thing, ya weirdo" he chuckled as he waddled off.

Olivia breathed a sigh of relief as she began to head for the elevator, phone in hand - staring at the evil face. Could this really be Magic? Could this be the occurrence that would blow them into the public eye again?

As she headed to the elevator she saw one of her superiors, Rose Miller, barrelling out and back down the corridor to the other offices. [i]Maybe she's seen something too...[/i] thought Olivia as she watched her go through a door at the end of the corridor. Rose was usually even tempered, but Olivia felt something about her today that rattled her. Something was bothering Rose...

[i]No time to investigate[/i] she thought again, as she made her way back down to the ground floor. She had to get home - and early lunch break - to get in touch with her fellow internet magic fans... Something was brewing - and she didn't want to miss anything...
