Daphne looked up with wide eyes at the stranger. Her hazel eyes found his outstretched hand and she stared at it before gingerly taking it in her hand. "Daphne" she said, gripping his hand once before releasing. "Hopton. Daphne Hopton. Pleasure."

Daphne smiled at the excited looking woman and at the man who seemed to want to appear invisible. It felt awkward to try to make conversation in a room of people you didn't know and Daphne had no clue of knowing if she was being rude by assuming people wanted to know about her or not. She distracted herself with the bottle of now lukewarm water in her hands. Her fingers made quick work of the bottle cap so that she could take a quick swig from it.

"Hogwarts," repeated Daphne when she heard the woman who had said her name was Charlotte speaking. "I attended Hogwarts as well! As I'm sure most of us...have..." the blond stopped speaking as she flushed and cleared her throat loudly.
He smiled when the girl decided to not seem shocked after a second or two and took his hand to shake. Daphne. Daphne Hopton. Pretty. "Landon Renaldi." he repeated with his full smile. "Nice to meet you, Daphne." Could this be the third or the fourth day already - so he didn't have to feel the annoying discomfort? Seeing her face and the non-existent small talk coming out her pink lips made Landon want to crack lame jokes or attempt at a shameless act just to get a response out of her.

But that was just his bored mind talking.

It was harder than Landon had imagined it would be. Then again, he had not imagined much. A bunch of strangers gathered up in a room - trying to not be strangers? His brow rose lightly watching as more nervous and awkward people entered the room. Maybe he could distract himself by eating a sandwich. It didn't exactly look that good though. Nevertheless, his stomach protested - today's early morning had lacked a proper breakfast - so he reached out to take one but decided against it half way through. Never mind, he could wait. Eating in a room, with a bunch of awkward, nervous looking people who were doing not much but staring at each other was not appealing to him.

He turned to the Daphne again, biting his tongue lightly to avoid cracking a pathetic joke. "Huh .. so. What's up?" There. Not pathetic enough. Period.

She flicked her wrist and her wand shot into her right wrist. With a little flick of her wand and a little mumble of a spell, Wizard Rock started playing in the background...not too loud but not so quiet that you couldn't hear it.

She smiled at the crowd and announced, "No worries everyone...this isn't meant to be a meeting of any sort, I just wanted us all to come in and get to know each other. So get up and mingle and grab some goodies and enjoy yourself. No need to start the time together with a boring meeting." she said with a smile still holding the wand in her hand...it glided with her arms...yes she was a talked that used her hands to tell stories so her wand flicked back and forth like she was directing a band, "I guess I should officially introduce myself to everyone. I'm Iridesca MacMillan, the Department Head." she said with a little nod.
Oh. So that was the department head. And Oh. He was working under a woman. He grinned - failing to make any appropriate comment appear in his head. Emery would probably kill him if she heard his thoughts right now.

Iridesca MacMillan.

Pretty.

"It's nice to finally meet you Iridesca. Looking forward to working with you." he smiled politely. She seemed really nice too. "I am Landon Renaldi."

The thought always made Demarcus giggle. It seemed like only yesterday he had been a student at Hogwarts, and today was his very first day as an employee of the Ministry of Magic, a Junior Spell Reversal Agent. HOW EXCITING!

But, Merlin, he never thought the place was going to be so gigantic…

Everything to him was so new and shiny, and he couldn’t help but randomly wander around the place. Not caring that his mouth was open and his hazel eyes were practically bulging out of his head, Demarcus had made his way to the lifts. A lot of people seemed to be using them to get to their departments. Or maybe they were all playing Follow the Leader. He bet it was the later. Why else would he have followed oodles of people into a very big room? Wait a second. Were they going to conga?!

With a grin on his face, Demarcus set his oddly large briefcase on the table and temporarily ignored the not-so-quiet meowing that seemed to be coming from inside the case. He couldn’t help but look around at his fellow co-workers (you know, if he did end up in the right place) and wave at them as he went to get some pumpkin juice. “Hehe.”

He immediately took a sip from his cup after returning to his briefcase and set it on the table. It was time for him to introduce himself to everyone. “What’s up, dudes? I’m Demarcus Diggle,” he said, pausing for a moment so he could open up his briefcase and pull out a fat white cat. “And this is Bubbles. It’s our first day here!” Demarcus beamed.
OH.

Finally someone who seemed more alive than the rest. FINALLY. Landon grinned wide at his 'What's up dudes!' - this room needed more of him and his 'what's up dudes'. Yep.

"Landon Renaldi!" he introduced himself, leaning forward on the table and stretching out his hand toward the new arrival. "And hello to you Bubbles." Oooh. A cat. Would it be around more often while they were working. Landon was down with that completely!
