"I need one of you to go down to the Speciality Area and meet with the Department Head there about getting some maintenance and repair people up here. Try to schedule that for sometime next week."
"Now that that is out of the way..." he said, slightly grumbling under his breath. "We have some new faces here to the department, including my own." But he had already covered that so he was not going to repeat his brief introduction. "Before we get down to more official business, I would like everyone to introduce themselves. Just a brief introduction will do. Your name, your position within the department, and anything else you feel vital that your coworkers know."
Meanwhile he would take these few minutes it too drink his coffee and calm down.
Yeah Rustin was glad he hadn't volunteered for any of that. It'd be a waste of his expertise anyways. And... what? Name and rank soldier?
He scoffed.
But quietly.
He wasn't planning to stand up, alright? This wasn't elementary school. SPOILER!!: other intros Quote:

Oh, yes.. his dead wife's voice in his head. Merlin, he needed to stop listening to voices he knew deep down weren't real.. or helpful to him.
No one was speaking up... Howard looked around, panic behind his eyes.
Really?
No one?
He stood. Awkwardly.
Washesupposedtostand!? This was like being back at school.
Clearing his throat, he spoke quietly and hesitantly.
“Hullo everyone. ..I'm Howard. ..Potions Identification and Recovery..” He couldn't just leave it there, could he? He felt like he was standing up and confessing to guilty secrets like he was at a self help group. “I.. I haven't worked for three years so this is all quite new to me. I have a daughter. Isabella. We live in Leeds.”
He sat again, cheeks flushed ever so slightly, his heart thumping hard in his chest.
Remind him never to become a public speaker.. Quote:

Sigh.
"Guess I'll go second?" He asked everyone, although he directed the question to the department head.
He coughed once, "Hi everyone, I'm Bradley Wills - been here a while - I'm part of the research and development division as a charms developer. Gets a bit lonely down there," He joked before adding, "and uh, I have a sister..." He finished lamely.
Poor Howard, he thought sitting down, his speech was more awkward than his, at least he was used to this sort of thing! Sigh. Quote:

She nodded in acknowledgment when he mentioned her name.
Later when the introductions started, she glanced with a nod and a smile at Bradley, whom she vaguely knew but never really met as well as Howard, a new employee. She sure hoped that he would lighten up a little-- they weren't going to bite!
When no one else stepped up and introduced themselves, Jade did:
"Hey everyone. I'm Jade Gemstone, a Reminisciator. I'm originally from South Africa but I've been living in Britain for the last six years, working here in the Accidents and Catastrophes department." Quote:

Why did the blond guy - Bradley - mention he had a sister? At least the other dude had an excuse. Did they just casually talk about family members in this department? Were they really so desperate that they felt the need to bring up siblings while they were waiting in the queue to get some coffee or something?
She hesitated for a moment, not wanting to stand up at the same time as someone else because that'd be awkward at it's very best. And thank Merlin she did because that Jade person stood up just as she was about to.
Bless Merlin she'd had the wits to wait.
When the other woman was finished Sephy rose, choosing to ignore the chair scraping the floor which made a dreadful sound like nails on a blackboard. "I'm Persephone... Walters. I'm a potion identification and recovery specialist. And um... yeah." She very nearly mentioned her hedgehog but that'd just make her seem weird. Who talked about their pets at a conference?
Probably the same people who talked about their sister but Sephy was going to keep that particular conversation topic in her back pocket so when she wanted coffee. Oh? This Howard guy had a kid too? Rusty made a mental note to chat to the guy some time. He wondered if she was near his own daughter's age.
... and charms research guy had a sister. Noted. What, was he trying to run a dating service or something? Pass.
Oh, a Reminisciator. Rusty looked at Jade steadily. They'd be working together some then.
And then Persephone. Who he had at least sort of partially met. Sort of. Potions was it?
Fascinating.
Rusty didn't offer an intro himself yet, far more interested to take measure of his coworkers first.
