Gavin wasn't sure what to do with his face as he walked in. For one he wasn't very enthused about being thrown into an awkward social situation but on the other hand he was thinking it might not have been such a bad thing. He decided to go with a smile, that's what people wore these days, yes? Smile on--ugh, but not a ridiculous smile because that was simply a no--he took a seat and muttered a general 'good morning' to everyone that had already arrived.

Now what?

Did he try talking to people? Was that what people did at these things? He looked around the room at all the people present. Perhaps he would wait for one of them to realize his importance and acknowledge him?....That sounded like a plan so he would sit and wait...

...
Alex was way too hyper for this time in the morning. Spotting the familiar face of Gavin entering the conference room, she was about to wave him over to sit next to her, when he already found a seat of his own on the other side of the room. Ah well.

Instead she just settled for a grin and a wave, as her right foot bounced anxiously under the table waiting for the start of the meeting.

She would wait till a good number were here before starting. She returned to drinking her coffee as she waited. Hmm. This seemed like a good enough number of people. "Welcome back." She murmured with a smile, settling her cup onto the table. "I hope you all had a good holiday." She sure had, though sometimes she wished she had longer off with her boys. Funny how her husband was quite the opposite.

"I just called the meeting really to catch up, seeing as I was gone for the majority of last year." Which really wasn't too good. Hopefully he department wasn't in to much of a mess. "First though. I'd like to welcome two new members of the department. Brandon Knox who will be working in the ever-locked room, and " Ahh. The other employee wasn't here. Awkward. "And Alex Armstrong....who hasn't arrived yet. But shall be working in the death chamber."
She was gone for most of last year? Were they supposed to notice the lack of a boss in a department where independent work was admired? Whoops! Shrugging it off, she bit her lower lip to hold her tongue, as she listened to what else Isobel had to say. Oh; two more new unspeakables to their ranks! Glancing toward the gentlemen, who Isobel introduced as Brandon, she smiled and then glanced toward the door, expecting this Alex to come walking through door any moment. She didn't like him, she decided. Because one, he was late and two, he stole her name. That was just uncool. She was the first Alex; le original. He was just some nincompoop-Alex-impostor.

Seeing as it was the first day she wasn't going to be to annoyed at her being late. Because well she was a nice woman. And it didn't appear as if the rest of her work mates were actually awake. The rate that they all wanted to talk, they may as well not be here. The blonde sighed, shaking her head.

"Does anyone actually want to start?" She murmured with a frown. "Or...we may as well all get to work"
Contemplating mentally about she would do to that nincompoop if she ever saw him leave the death chamber, she completely missed the fact that Isobel had addressed them. What had she asked them again? What happened while she was away?

In the department of mysteries? Not much. Raising her hand slightly, since no one else was speaking, she gave a small smile. "So uh, there was a new comet discovered last September, in terms of new Astronomy findings. But in terms of the ministry, other than some zombie outbreak," she glanced around the room, hesitantly. "I'm not really sure too much details about that though. Oh and the school started its search for some new candidates for its Board of Governors." Her sister knew more about that than she did...

Uh... what else? There was other stuff, but she didn't really want to go into all that terminology; it would probably put half the people in the room to sleep.
