They did the introductions in turns, both old and new employees introduced themselves. When it got to Jade's turn, she said, "Hi, everyone. I'm Jade Gemstone and I'm new to the Department. I'm in the Office of Misinformation, one of the new Memory Restoration Assistants. It's really nice to meet you all and I'm really looking forward to working with you all."
She finished her little introduction with a smile. "Hello Jade" the department greeted the first employee who stood up to do her introduction, with enthusiasm. Her eyes turned to see who would follow Jade. Quote:

It took him some time but he managed to put together a variety of items, making sure not to duplicate what the woman had already mentioned she had brought in.
Coming back to Level 3 and the conference room, the reminiscator had two trays, each floating to make it easier to manuver through doors, especially the last remaining one allowing him access into said conference room. On one tray was three hot carafes filled with hot water, regular and decaf coffees and well as cups and everything you might need for the perfect cup. On the other was an assortment of rolls and bagels, fruits and veggie pieces. Gavin had tried his best to get a variety of items even the chosest person could want and slipped into the room as descretly as he could while introductions were being made, finally depositing both on the center of the conference table for all to reach. Just when someone else had to introduce themselves - the conference room's door swung open and in came Gavin. "Gavin, you made it!" Constance chimed gleefully, noticing the tray that followed him on the air.
"And what good variety," she remarked, moving closer to the table to see what he had chosen to bring with himself. She was tempted to take something, to taste - but resisted, knowing that if she did something like that, her attention would waver away from all her employees.
Constance Nightingale is fond of good music, you see. Quote:

Emmy couldn't tell who the smile is to...but she kind of have a feeling that it's for her...
"I am Emerald Skye, but feel free to just call me Emmy." She introduced herself as she turned to everyone sitting in the conference room. "I have worked in this Department for some times in the Obliviator's Division as an Obliviator. I've been a worker for the Ministry of Magic for a while now. Before I was transfered to this Division, I worked for the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures." Emerald finished with a smile. She was glad she was transfered here, now that she had discovered the uniqueness of this level. And, Emerald have no longer worry about spiders that crawls on to the animals. "Hello Emerald." Constance greeted the next girl. Deciding then and there that she would prefer calling the girl with her full name. Constance honestly did not understand why people chose to ruin their own name by getting it nick named. Quote:

No matter. Whatever age you may be, I assure you - your contributions to this department would be treated just as equally as us old people," Quote:
Originally Posted by Lissy Hobgoblin Gabriela smiled politely at the woman she had been talking and turned her attention to the department head, effectively ending their conversation. This woman seemed to be pleasant enough, and she hadn't kept them waiting TOO long. That was a good sign in Gabi's book.
She ran a manicured hand over her hair as it was her turn to introduce herself. "Hello, my name is Gabriela Schaeffer," she said, pausing and deciding against telling them they could call her Gabi. They had to earn that level of closeness with her. "I'm also new to the department and I'll be working in the Experimental Charms Committee," she told them all. Apparently one of the only ones here so far, unless the others hadn't introduced themselves.
She turned her attention to the man who had just entered and began to eye up the fruits and veggies he'd brought in. Now THAT was Gabi's idea of finger food. Gabriela. Gabriela.
Gabi -
Oh.
Constance mind almost immediately wandered off, when the next woman started to speak. She knew that named. She had heard that name. And then she remembered, she had not heard it - she had read it. Read it in the list, she was given which included the names of the employees who had not been told their specific jobs yet.
Once she was sure, this girl was one of those - Constance brought her mind back to hear what she was saying. Waiting patiently, with that smile on for her to finish.
"Hello Gabriella," Constance greeted, once her newbie employee finished talking. "I am so glad you decided to respond to my owl and visit us here at the department." she said and paused a little before continuing. "I would really like it, if you meet me in my office once we are done here." Quote:

"H-H..Hi I'm Nils Butler..I've been here for a few months an I've worked a few times with Gavin." He nervously introduced himself.There had been no need to mention Gavin but it was the first thing that came out of his mouth.
Nils dropped half of his nearly eaten doughnut off his hands but caught it before it could touch the floor.The voice had completely surprised him an had given him a split heart attack.He turned around as saw Natalia smiling up at him, "You gave me a heart attack!Please if you're gonna say hi to me,do it from the front-I don't like the element of surprise." He teased her,even if he could STILL feel his heart thumping fast from fright."I'm very good without soda.I mean-I already have a heart attack-don't I?I don't want a stroke with all this food.
I guess-I don't know-she could be putting up an act right now." He spoke to Natalia quietly Well now. Such few males Constance had to rule over and one of them was clearly a little ... nervous. Such poor luck .. sigh.
"Hello Nills," she greeted him back, nevertheless. "It's nice to have you here." She nodded before raising an eyebrow out of habit when he said he had worked with Gavin. "Oh you have, have you?"
They were her manners that had her pretending that she was interested.
Que Smile. Quote:

Introductions? Hmm. Interesting. Kammy was very glad to know that this woman found this important. They did indeed need to get to know each other.
Kammy also thought that this woman seemed to be able to get work done efficiently...something Kammy liked.
Kammy then stepped forward, a huge smile smile planted on her face. "Hello, everyone, the name's Kammy Patricia. And no, Kammy is NOT nickname, it's my real name," she explained with a small chuckle. "I will be working with pensieves," she added, again wondering what she would exactly be doing. "Hello Kammy," Constance greeted the next lady. Oh. Her name was Kammy? Not a nick name? "Well then, hopefully you wouldn't mind that I'll be calling you Kammy Patricia" Quote:

"Hi, please to meet you. And welcome...I'm Kevin..." Kevin said the woman while smiling. Before the next person could do an introduction. Another male entered and Constance kept her smile intact. "So nice of you that you decided to join us,"
When he welcomed her - Constance couldn't help but smile for real this time. Yep, nobody had welcomed her properly yet. "Thank you Kevin. And please to meet you as well." Quote:
Originally Posted by Dan and Emma<3 It was her turn. She stood up, giving a smile to everyone in the conference including the department head. "Hi everyone. My name is Tiffany Zora Pevensie, you could call me Zora or Tiffy if you like to. I will be working at the misinformation office as a junior reminisciator. Actually I am new here so in case I do something wrong, please tell me. It's brilliant to meet you all,"Zora replied cheerfully with a grin. "Hello Tiffany." She smiled her polite smile before adding: "And no need to say that. I am new as well. It's not much trouble making mistakes - it's learning from them, that's what matters." Quote:
Originally Posted by Macavity As the rest of the department introduced themselves to each other, Gavin poured himself a cup of tea and settled into a chair listening. Some of them he knew from working with them, others he had met when they introuced themselves to him when he had offered help on their first day. The reminiscator did raise a slight eyebrow mid-sip as Nils mentioned his name as part of his introduction.
Now that's interesting, he mused to himself before figuring he might as well add his own introduction into the mix. "Hello... I'm Gavin McNally, feeling like the old hat of the level. I've been in the department for over 5 1/2 years, four of which was in Experimental Charms including time as division head and the rest as senior reminiscator in the Office of Misinformation," he said getting it all out before realizing he should probably tell of his latest task. "I'm also the department liaison of Level three," he finished before going silent for the next person to go or for Constance to move on. Well then. It was Gavin's turn to say stuff.
Constance kept her polite smile intact and listened.
"Hello Gavin, it's nice to meet you" she greeted him like she had greeted the many other employees. She could not just start treating people differently. Even if her mind was already in the process of making opinions about everyone that was in the room.
Yep, it was capable of that. Even by just hearing their names.
Oh now? He was the department liaison as well? That was something Constance was not aware of. Quote:

'Hello again,' Natasha replied, lifting the corners of her mouth in her very best smile. 'Have you seen the muck some people are eati-'
But Natasha faltered and watched in horror as Kammy picked up a piece of chocolate-coated bread with a hole in its centre (Natasha couldn't help seeing this as yet another example of muggle laziness) and nibbled at it.
Natasha was speechless but when Kammy then proceeded to attempt to convince her to try one this soon changed. 'Iwouldnevereatsuchfilth!' 
Natasha backed away slowly. She was baffled as to why Kammy would even want to try such a thing... Noticing someone occupied with other stuff rather than by the meeting they were called to attend. Constance couldn't help but butt in.
"Hello there," she called - eying the girl, indifferently. "You still have not introduced yourself. Who are you?" Quote:

"Um, hi!" she started, giving a little wave. "I'm Rachel Smith, and I'm new here. Part of the Invisibility Task Force as the..." Oh no, she'd forgotten her job. She quickly glanced down at her hand where she'd written her job title down. "the junior temporary structure concealment agent!" That was a mouth-full. "And I look forward to working with all of you!" She grabbed another donut and smiled at everyone.
Yeah. First impressions, not her thing. "Hello Rachel!" Constance greeted, noticing that the girl was finishing up a donut. "And I see, we will have no problem getting alone," she chuckled lightly before turning to the next person. Quote:
Originally Posted by Pixxi Neria came into the conferance room and looked at all the people. There were some familiar faces there, amongst them Gavin who had greeted her when she first got to the ministry. She straightened her skirt, brushed off her shoulders and went straight for the empty seat at the other side of the room with a confident smile on her face. She tried to make eye contact with everyone and recognize the faces. The job was more than just working; it was getting to know your colleagues as well.
As everyone introduced themselves, Neria waited patiently for her turn. She seized the opportunity, and stood up and gave everyone the confident smile she always wore. "Hello everyone, I am Neria Canterbury. There is no need to call me Ms. Canterbury, Neria will do," she smiled to herself, thinking about her private joke with Landon. "I am new to the Ministry and I will be working alongside Landon and Rachel in the The Office of the Invisibility Task Force as a Wizarding Event Concealment." She liked speaking in large crowds. Somehow it gave her more confidence. "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." She sat down again and looked around to see if anyone was up for a chat. "Hello Neria," Constance greeted - finally deciding that 'hello' was becoming her least favorite word. "It's nice to meet you - and I will add that I really like your last name."
Yep. If Constance liked something, she appreciated. Quote:
Originally Posted by JeshieRAWR Constance Nightingale. Hmm, what a unique name. At least she seemed nice and didn't want their department to be so boring.
Natalia watched as one by one everybody started to announce their positions here and finally it was her turn. "Hello everyone, I'm Natalia Tarasova and I've been here for about two years now. I work in the Office of Misinformation as a Junior Reminisciator; working alongside Gavin and Tiffany." She gave a smile and watched as the next person went. Phew, that went by fast. "Hello Natalia. It's really nice to meet you as well," Constance greeted once again - keeping her smile intact, even still. Quote:
Originally Posted by Gabrielle Mandie store around the room as everyone introduced themselves. She was trying to take in all the information, people's names, jobs; all that stuff. Mandie recognised a few from her time wandering Diagon Alley and gave brief smiles in their direction.
Once it was her turn she stood up, "Hello! I'm Mandie Elliott from the Muggle-Worthy excuse committee. I'm new here and I can honestly say most of you I've never seen before," Mandie gave a small laugh, "So it should be fun getting to know you all, you too Constance, you seem pretty cool. It'll be a pleasure to work with you!" She finished and gave a big smile to the new department head, showing off straight, whitened teeth and blood red lipstick.
She took another sip from her lemonade and watched the next person introduce themselves. Mandie nervously brushed her manicured hands through her dark wavy hair, she couldn't shake the feeling of people judging her. "Hello Madie Elliot," Constance greeted - smiling geniunely when the girl spoke more. "I can honestly say, I haven't met anyone of you all either!" she laughed, lightly before adding: "It will be a pleasure too, to get to know you all and work with you all"
*
And with that the introductions came to an end. Constance took no time to treat her throat with some cool water. Heading toward the table, she picked up a plastic cup and filled it with water. She made a mental note to treat her herself with some nice juice once she was done here before placing the cup down and resuming her standing position.
"Now then." she began, taking a look at everyone in the room. "Now that I know you all on first name basis and you know me - I think we have taken a first step forward as a team" Constance could make boosting speeches all day long if you want - that's what she is a champion at, since the beginning - even if they would be fake, they would be effective.
"I would like you all to be at ease and not to worry about how things will work from now on. I will take this day to settle in and from tomorrow - I will be handing out tasks or whatever that I think your divisions need working on," Constance said, in a calm tone - looking around at everyone.
Bringing back her polite smile, she continued: "You guys can dig in, enjoy the refreshments Gavin has brought in for us, mingle around - make friends and feel free to ask me anything,"
OOC: Sorry for the late late reply but I was preparing for University admissions! xD
