*The part of the offices that muggles being questioned were brought to was made to be unremarkable, but it was undoubtedly strange-looking. From the outside it appeared as a normal Parisian townhouse would: built in the 19th century, bourgeois, opulent... and yet inside it was some kind of mix between baroque and medieval. She led Max to a wooden door that was marked Théophile-Honoré de Barbaracque-Bousset; Department of Unexplainable Phenomena and knocked.*
*She waited a moment, then knocked again, louder. And again, even louder this time.* "THEO." *She called, quite piercingly.*
"He's hard of hearing." *She explained to Max.*

Max raised his eyebrows in a sarcastic Aha motion and waited.
This place was strange to say the least, and what kind of people had a department of unexplainable mysteries?

*When the door did open a few moments later, a tiny, birdlike, wizened old man poked his head out. He wore huge glasses and had tufts of white hair. His face broke out into a grin when he saw Adrienne.*
"Lady d'Enjolras! A pleasure as always, a pleasure! And who is this fine young gentleman?"
*Adi rolled her eyes, albeit a little affectionately.* "Theo, I've told you a thousand times I'm not titled; that's my father and brother. And this... this is a Traveler."
*Theo's eyes opened wide, looking especially wide behind the glasses.* "A Traveler? Truly, and really, and indubitably?"
*Adrienne nodded.*
*Theo smiled.* "Then welcome my good man, welcome! Do come in, both of you!"
*He led them into a cramped office where papers were all over, as well as an assortment of strange-looking objects and files with labels like 'Bigfoot/Yeti', 'Loch Ness Monster', and 'Twinkie Filling'. Two overstuffed chairs sat one one side of an ornate desk (also covered in papers), with a plain one on the other side, which Theo immediately took.*
"I assume this lovely girl has asked you to answer some questions for me?" *He directed at Max.*

Max's eyes widened as he looked around, he still really didn't believe any of it "Y-yea" he smiled charmingly "that she did."

"Come come, now, sit down..."
*Adrienne did so, evidently required for questioning as well.*
"Now, L... Miss d'Enjolras. When did you notice the young man's presence?"
"Around -:-- this afternoon." *She said, looking vaguely bored.*
"And monsieur, you, can you tell me where you were before, and the circumstances of your waking up here? Everything you can, that is." *He added, eyeing Max dubiously.*

"I was getting ready to go to bed in New York" he said with a look of annoyance "I was smoking a cigarette looking for my robe. I guess I blacked out and now I'm here."

"Fascinating! And what was the first thing you saw when you awoke?"

"The ugliest room I've ever seen in my life" he said with a laugh.

"He means the Opera foyer." *She said, giving Max a somewhat impatient glance. But then it softened.* "Given it is hideous."
"And had you done anything out of the ordinary that day?" *Asked Theo.*

Max thought and proceeded to explain his day.
He woke up around noon, showered, got dressed, ate some breakfast and then hopped in his cab and went to work. He came home, changed his clothes, went to the club to see Sadie and JoJo and then came home, smoked a bowl and then began getting dressed for bed.
"Totally normal."

"Truly?" *The old man looked vaguely disappointed.* "Nothing that could have altered your mind waves? Thought patterns?"
*Adi looked like she could have said a few things but refrained. She highly doubted he'd teleported because he was high.*

"Not that I saw, I mean I think I would have noticed something altering my brain waves."

*Theo nodded, writing this all down before looking back up at the two.* "I'm afraid that's all I have to ask. Thank you so much for your time... I assume you haven't made arrangements for lodging? We are glad to extend a welcome to those who have been displaced."
*Adi nearly groaned. It was true--they tended to give displaced individuals lodging until they could make arrangements for their own, but giving him a room in the faculty quarters (which was where they put the displaced ones) meant the obnoxious man would be in her inner sanctum.*

"I, yea, okay" He smiled "can I ask a question?"
