Poppy Prickelpot.
*SHUDDER*
Picking up his pen and regaining his composure, Mason cleared his throat and decided to add his opinion. "I agree, adding more plants would make it more inviting. Along with new paint, different color schemes that are inviting to eye. Fancy rugs, more portraits to say hello to." He suggested. Oh, epiphany: "Hell, we could even have people standing at the lifts and the entrances to welcome us to the Ministry." "Your department already supplies us with welcome witches and wizards, I'd like to focus on just making the place more environmentally friendly for now." He considered the other suggestions. "Well have to see what areas would first need more portraits, but I like the idea." Quote:

But apparently they weren't concerned with beautifying the Ministry, they were concerned with making it more eco friendly. Poppy pursed her lips and rolled her eyes as she slouched on her hair. That was not her expertise, and, in spite of what others might think, Ministry Maintenance members were not the maids of the ministry. "Oh, no. I do not. Carry on." She finally spoke. Now that she had nothing to worry about she would spend the rest of the meeting curling her hair with her finger as she half listened to everyone's suggestions. She was rather dramatic, wasn't she? Rafa sighed internally. "When you do, feel free to join the conversation." And absorb all the information being passed around, of course. She would be working with them on implementing these task's later. Quote:

And he got late? Not good. Those cookies Helena baked for him are to be blamed because those babies were literally begging to be demolished and seeing how sensitive Blake is, he couldn't deny. Wiping off the teeny-tiny cookie crumbs stuck to the side of his mouth, Blake cracked open the door to the meeting room and very silently slid through the closing door without touching it. Score! D'awww Helena missed it...again! She never gets to see him pull off such a heroic stunt.
Toning down his excitement, he gave a cursory glace at the not-so-scary faces and waved at them, brainstorming an excuse for being so late. "Is it me or is the line at the coffee shop growing longer every day? Pheww.." He let out a nervous chuckle and proceeded to sit next to a random person who he didn't know. "What did I miss?" He turned to the person next to him, a small smile playing on his lips. The department head arched an eyebrow as this one attempted to sneak into the meeting late. Did he really think he'd be unnoticed? And he was chatting. Sigh.
These maintenance workers...
"We have coffee here," He inclined his head towards the tray in the center. No, he didn't buy that lie at all. And his expression showed it. "We're tossing around ideas right now, listen in first, then contribute." Quote:
Originally Posted by Yusrieee What a cold, cold stare to give to your new colleague. Whatever happened to being welcoming? But Blake somehow sensed that his foolproof excuse for being late didn't work out. "What?" He questioned the guy who looked as if he was about to collapse or....die. "I...I drank the coffee on my way to work." Now that he had cleared the air, it was time to focus on work, work that he did not understand.
Green? He didn't mean the color green, did he? If yes, that made no sense. "Hire more Slytherins." He joked even though it wasn't a very good one. Clearing his throat, he reminded himself to be professional like Helena asked him to. "On a serious note, I have a couple of ideas." He spoke, looking at the faces which were now staring back at him. For a moment, he felt out of place, as if he didn't belong here. Shrugging off the weird feeling, he suggested the first thing that popped in his head, "A policy of purchasing only recycled paper and parchment sounds good." ... And then there were jokes.
Rafael would have sighed audibly this time had the man not actually suggested something worthy of being added to there list. Speaking of lists, he glanced over at the quill, making certain it was preforming it's task. "That, is an excellent idea." Quote:
Originally Posted by sarahb Amaria nodded at the man. He seemed a bit of a joker. Seriously hire Slytherins. So stupid. But he did seem much more intelligent when he mentioned recycled paper. "I agree very much with only purchasing recycled paper," Amaria said very calmly taking a sip of her coffee. "I would also think we should promote recycling more. Perhaps have big posters and such demanding employees to recycle used parchment and such." "Posters are a good idea as well," He glanced at the man. "We can also have posters made of the new guidelines we plan to establish." Quote:

This was basically what she did to every task assigned to her, but it worked most of the time and when it didn't she always blamed it on her age or someone else. Let's face it, Poppy was way too fabulous to do any sort of work. Existing was her main occupation. Plus, she didn't like this going green garbage. Who cares if you toss one too many pieces of paper in the garbage can? Sounded more like a Muggle problem to her.
Were there any biscuits? She looked around. Boo, no biscuits. Maybe they should think about feeding their employees before anything else. Oh, she saw something. No, it wasn't a biscuit, but he was just as delicious looking as a biscuit. It was that Mason man, and he was sitting all the way across the room. There was no way she could discreetly scoot her chair all the way across the room, so she just waved at him and winked.
Anyway, back to Ministry matters. Let's pretend they matter and we try hard to please this man for a raise or a promotion or biscuits. "Okay, okay, so how about we replace all plastic cups with reusable ones." Was that actually a good idea? Merlin we will wait and see. This time he DID sigh.
Rafael glanced over at the woman with a flat expression. "I didn't join the ministry to pretend to better the environment." What was the point of that? "And I didn't call all of you here to waste our time. If you feel that improving our environment is a waste of your time, then please, leave." Because she had yet to prove herself useful to this meeting.
Looking away from the woman down to his parchement, he listened to her ACTUALLY speak something of value. "That we can do. Any other suggestions before we move on?" OOC: You guys are awesomeee. I'm gonna give this brainstorming a few more days before we move on.
