Unfortunately this meant even more effort would need to be put out. Moving around the room proved to be a challenge of its own. Every few steps he took led him into another person--literally. His latest run in happened to be a woman who didn't look like she was looking where she was going. This was obviously her fault. He, however, being the good person he was would overlook it in the name of good social relations.
"Hello there." He even started the conversation; something he was convinced not many people around here knew how to do. "I'm Gavin." Now you. Unless, of course she was one of the many who wasn't so good at this conversation game and had no idea what her next move should be. Dear merlin, let her be a smart one.
Well, maybe it would actually work!!
After all, it seemed to be working quite alright. Random people had no tendency to ever approach her, believe it it not. It was always Gia that started the conversations with other people. Well, until today.
"Hello!," She began saying to the man who had approached her.
"I'm Giacinta, but do call me Gia." Her full name felt too long in her mouth. It was easier for others to remember a shorter name anyways, especially if it's more fun and quirky than before. It's also what her parents used to call her all the time back then. Well, except for when she got into trouble, which happened quite a lot when she was a child.
Look where she is now!

"New to the ministry?"
And another person!!!
Gosh, Gia was more attracting than she realized. Why else would all these people be coming over to her for?? It certainly wasn't horrid, because they would all have looks of disgust on their faces, and would immediately walk away. Thankfully, they didn't.
"Nice to meet you Bejing!" She said, smiling. The woman didn't seem to be all for handshakes, though that was quite alright with her. She wasn't exactly intent on shaking hands with others. She only did it because it was the polite thing to do. Polite people do polite things. That's just how it worked!
"Sort of...." Gia answered, in reply to Bejing's question.
"I'm new to the British ministry, but not the job." She was quite proud of it, actually. Her mum and dad are senior Obliviators at the Italian Ministry, so that's one reason she ever started wanting this job. They were great people, make no mistake. She wanted to be just like them!! Why? Well, they were just such model Obliviators!
And, she needed to remember them... Quote:

But she doubt someone new felt at home in this place. Ivee's home was in Scotland.
"Are you a new employee in here?"
"Pleasure to meet you Ivee," Gia said, grinning. She was quite excited to meet all these new people, if it wasn't obvious. She liked to surround herself with a lot of close friends, rather than only a few.
That way if ONR of them abandoned her, it wouldn't affect her as much.
New employee, hmm??
"Yes, I'm new to the british ministry, but not my job," Gia nodded, quite excited to get back in the swing. It was quite boring for her, that vacation! Hopefully there wouldn't be too much more! One is fine, thank you very much. Her job was what defined her, mad her....her!! Okay, that might be a little on the cheesy side, but it is true! She wasn't really her without her job.
She could still handle a job switch fine. She'd be able to do it and not fail. Just not emotionally...
