| *steals people* Gaga Mafia Monster : MURPHY : Kelvin's SS!BFAM : Roro's Evil Twin : Ravlyndor : Gopher Ellis hadn't ran to the banquet room that was hosting the Ministry's party to welcome the new employees and the rest of them back from the Holidays because he wasn't a new employee or a weirdo.
Recard was just moseying along looking at the food and messing with the lapels on his suit jacket. He hadn't gotten a chance to meet many of his coworkers before they had all gone on vacation so he was definitely stag tonight. SPOILER!!: Ferris and Vivi Quote:

He adjusted his glasses on his nose as he thought about all of this and he seriously contemplated running away.
Maybe he could do this another day? Gulp.
Tripping on his shoelaces a little as he walked into the, well, Entrance Hall he was met by a LOT of faces at once. Could he panic now? Oh no, oh no no no. He wanted to go HOME. Too much pressure and...

Instead, she politely inched past his elbow and smiled winningly. "They won't bring the party all the way over here to you. You have to enter the room fully first." She paused, completely aware that she was being a bit brusque even still. "I like your vest. Most men are afraid of coming off as cheesy if they try for a vest, but I think you've managed the look quite well."
Was there food here? Quote:

He wanted to squeak and run away back to his basement where his mother would bring him a tuna sandwich and some video games, but now he was stuck. Could he panic NOW? Oh no, no, no. This was very bad. What if she wanted to CONTINUE speaking to him? Ferris could have wet himself right then and there.
So he finally settled for full on panic mode. His eyes bugged open and began to flicker back and forth to the exit. By the time he finally found his voice, it was squeaky and anxious sounding, "I, um, well, uh." Good start. He cleared his throat and continued, "O-okay."
Socializing stunk. Oh what was this?
Ellis had been minding his own business when he was bumped into by some bumbling guy who was trying his best to talk to an attractive, although rather young girl. She'd probably recognize him from the posters or if she had attended any of his matches--she wasn't THAT young. And Merlin he wasn't old. "Hey buddy, relax. There's no need to be nervous. Ellis Recard, former Keeper of the Tutshill Tornadoes. Working here in Magical Games and Sports as a PR Rep because of that injury." He flashed a grin at the girl too as he offhandedly felt the place on the back of his head where the Bludger had gotten him. The guy probably knew all about this though.
Most people did. *cough* Quote:

It was a lot of work trying to process them, but it was all worth it and it was okay. They would be a lot of help and a great addition to the Games & Sports team.
Also she would have to think about who she should promote as the department liaison too, since Chevron had left.
The blonde entered the hall, with a smile on her face as always. She adjusted her blazer a little too.. Oh, would you look at that? Swag bags. That was really cute. Lourdes would have to take a look on one of those later, just in case she might find something interesting. Hmm. Oh his boss! "Ms Lordes, enjoy your holiday?" Ellis Recard certainly did. He had had one awesome weekend in particular with a bird from back home....but no, focus! Work and schmoozing time. SPOILER!!: Wes and Isobel Quote:

Aha, and THERE was his Izzy! After excusing himself from Greingoth, Wes made his way through the crowd, careful not to let ANYONE accidentally touch his chicken wings. He popped up beside her, Tasha, and Dorian just in time to hear his sister-in-law mention food.
"They have excellent chicken wings," Wes spoke up, lifting his plate a little to show Tasha an example of the meat selection. "And ribs, too. Also, don't worry about contamination, but I taste-tested everything personally myself. And it was all clean and tasty too."
He was clearly very proud of the hard work he'd put into today. Quote:

Though she did notice that something seemed to be in his beard. "But you seem to have some sauce in it..." No surprise when he was eating chicken wings. But Izzy still didn't think it was a good look. Not when he was a big department head and such.
"They look good..." She murmured with a nod. But not very ladylike to eat, so maybe she would go for something else. "Was there nothing but meat left Wes?" She teased, raising an eyebrow before she smirked. "Very good dear. Glad to know security is top of your priorities." She was very glad, because she really would not want to be a zombie again. Not at all. Deciding that the food table was looking a little full, Recard went over to take care of it. Once Ellis had his plate full of shrimp cocktail and other things covered in bacon, he walked towards the tables.
He was about to take a seat with someone he didn't know when he noticed a familiar face standing nearby, one that his brother would probably duck away and ignore all night (that is if he wasn't seething too much to make an effort). Changing course the young Personal Relations officer walked over to the blonde and the man with her and smiled after he pulled an empty stick that had just been covered with shrimp and vegetables from his mouth. "Isobel, it's good to see you again!" Surely she remembered him from the family dinners Armen had brought her to. It was a shame things hadn't worked out between them, she could have been a nice addition to the family. Quote:

That was the last thing she needed in her office - useless notepads and pencils that were just going to take up space. So she passed it up and instead headed to the gathering of people just beyond the table. She overheard a few people speaking to a man nearby, and she overheard the word "Department Head"...ahhh yes, she'd heard there were near hires, specifically in her old department. Well she HAD to go introduce herself, yes
What in Merlin's beard was this, a meet-up of his older brothers girls, past and present?
Chuckling at the thought Ellis walked over to the Transportation Head and bumped his elbow into her's, they had met a few times so she should be used to his shenanigans. "So where's ArMANDO?" He snorted. They were always together at these things. He was probably working or something boring. |
