SPOILER!!: Tabitha Quote:

Tabitha was being reminded of her cousin Serena thanks to Ember and it made her feel more at ease. "You remind me of my cousin on my mum's side," Tabitha told Ember.
Ember nodded as she began to dig into some of the food she had gotten...IT WAS YUMMY SO FAR. "Ahh--I know the feels! Some of the orientations I've been to for my previous jobs--you know, small ones while at Uni--were SOOOO dull. That's why you have to be POSITIVE and MAKE them fun!!" she squeaked, and she giggled a lot and tucked her hair behind her ears. She was standing out, wasn't she? Her BRIGHT pink dress certainly did the trick. It was kind of what she was going for, wasn't it?
"AH! Okay! Is this good or bad, love?!" she asked with a smirk and a chuckle--nomming on her food properly now--WELL THEN. This was fun. PEOPLE WERE GREAT. She wanted to hug everyone and sing and dance. Not enough DANCING going on around here!
SPOILER!!: BRYCE Quote:

It was buzzing with exciting plant life everywhere.
Trying to keep the expression on his face as neutral as possible, the Department Head made a beeline for one table in particular. Famished, he was. And it felt like hours had passed since his last proper meal. One word stuck out to him once he managed to get a proper look at the food and china on display: fancy. Skewers, elderflower wine and were those...... were those really edible flowers?! How long have they been a thing?
Picking one up, Bryce eyed it closely. The idea still seemed miraculous to him. Edible flowers.
EMBER SPOTTED THE ENVIRO HEAD. HI! She waved at him and smiiiiiiled. "Hey there, Bryce!" she said, saluting him while bouncing a bit. "How's your break going there?!" she asked him. Both Harmony and Bryce were AWEEEEESOME.
And Bryce was nice. VERY nice to her. Not as cool as Harmony...but he was cool enough. YEP. And he was head of the second best department! WHOOOH!
SPOILER!!: Willy and Daphne Quote:

William had to swallow whatever he was eating by now in order to give the newbie--- Daphne ----a real answer. "Uh, well, my plan was to surround myself with food and not people, so I wouldn't have to talk to anyone, but it looks like it only half-worked." He sort of attempted a playful wink at her, but he didn't know her that well yet. So maybe it worked, maybe it didn't.
Haha, seemed she could joke though. Willy tipped an invisible hat at her. "You're welcome. If you need seconds, here, help yourself." He pointed to his volcano of food. "And... thanks?" She liked his name? He was probably blushing by now. "My initials are WWW, would you believe it."
N'aww but she was not lame, not with a pretty face personality like that. William's ears turned red just at his own thoughts. "You'll get to know these people soon enough..." he started to say, just as his lovely coworker Ember spotted him. Oh great. Not wanting to be rude, he waved, just waved, back, since OBVIOUSLY he was NOT meditating. At all. Ever! No!
"So, Daphne," he tucked into something else gardeny themed and resumed their conversation. "That one over there asking me about meditating is Ember. She's in pest control, ironically enough." Oops, had he said that aloud? "Very friendly as you'll come to find, I'm sure." Who else could he point out... oh, hey Gavin. William saw his nod and returned it with a small, two-fingered salute. "That's the Senior Undersecretary. Don't get in his personal space and you'll get along with him fine. He does a good job."
Who else... oh, she had worked in Norway? "Awesome! I love the Ridgebacks! Not as cool as the Longhorns," he chuckled, "but what a great breed. Did you love it?" Quote:

She was talking with somebody who really didn't want to be talking with anybody at all. Heh. "Just kidding. So what's the reason for the anti-socialness?" The anti-socialness that obviously didn't happen.
She caught that wink from him. Yeah, we saw you, William Williamson. He was going to be so much fun to work with.
She shook her head at the offer for seconds. "Maybe later. I should really start on my main course, I guess," she said. Then the topic shifted just that quickly back to his name. "So what's the second W stand for? Wait, no. Let me guess." She paused as she attempted a good thought process over it. "Will?" It was the only thing she could think of that went with the theme of the other two names he had.
His wave in another direction distracted her, and she looked over to see, or...hear, somebody singing and dancing their way into the area. "Well, that's one way to make an introduction," she said with a laugh. With WWW's dessert mountain, and this lady's song and dance, Daphne should really step it up. She listened as he pointed out the song and dance lady and a few others he knew. She caught that little pest comment but decided not to point that out, since they'd moved on to something else now.
"Of course I loved it," she said. "Oh, and I have to tell you this. It's going to come across as bragging, but I'm so proud of it. We restrained a loose Swedish Short-Snout a few months back. I got an award for it and all. We've got her back at a reserve now, but it was quite an ordeal." She'd been the researcher on the task, of course. She might have elaborated on that, but the song and dance lady, the one that worked in pest control, was making her way over. Daphne didn't say anything. How could she? Nothing she could say could keep up with the extreme hyperness this other lady exhibited.
So Daphne just smiled for now. Hii, fellow co-worker.
Oh How LOOOOVELY! William waved back, and Ember had to SMIIIIIILE about this because he was AWESOME too, okay? Everyone in her department was so LOVELY. She wanted to just squeeeeeeeze them all to DEAAAAATH.
Only not really because then she'd have NO coworkers--and what a sad and lonely life she'd LIVE. Aaaaand he was speaking to a WOMAN. HMMM. DId he LIKE this woman?!?! Ember thought--MAYBE she saw little hearts over their heads--and it was done. In her mind--she was sooooo shipping them together--and suddenly--
IT CAME TO HER.
She would FIND out who this woman was as SOOOOON As work started again, and she would GET THEM TOGETHER.
CUPID EMBER, HERE SHE COOOOOMES!
She even shot a wink at William and gave him a thumbs up of approval-SHE WAS PRETTY AND TALKATIVE. William could use the positive vibes in his love life, right? Maybe she would speak to this woman later. Put in a good word for William--WHAT IF SHE PRETENDED TO HAVE A CRUSH ON WILLIAM TO MAKE HER JEALOUS?!
SIGH. She would have to think these plans through--because they were just TOO brilliant to pass up!
SPOILER!!: Derek >_< Quote:

Bad news was that now was back-to-being-social. Or being quiet around people, more likely. At least he hadn't heard from that 'supervisor' in a VERY long time. He had his lab all to himself and hopefully it would stay that way for the foreseeable future.
And forever, preferably.
Derek actually nodded to a few people he knew as he arrived in the... garden. He thought it was strange to have a professional orientation in a garden, but he had learned not to expect anything normal coming from the Ministry of Magic. But yeah, nods at people he knew, because suprisingly enough, Derek was indeed becoming more sociable. Ih his own special way. Still, socialising in a quiet manner. That was his thing. He could ''''easily'''' sort of kind of not do this.
...
Okay, food.
"DEREEEKKK!" Ember's shriek was probably way too loud. Maybe Ember wasn't very professional. OH WELL. Life was entirely too short to be professional. She LEAPT at the Potiony-dude and HUGGED him.
Last time she had done that...well, he had freaked out. But their friendship was BLOSSOMING and she hoped he would be more....OPEN to hugs now. "MY FIRST FRIEND AT THE MINISTRY. How ARE you, deaaaar?!" she asked excitedly, visibly bouncing again, all of her dangly jewelry clamoring around her head and ears and neck. "You came! Isn't this LOVELY, D-rek?!" she asked and she TWIRRRRRLED around him and patted his Head. "You're such an adorable specimen--DEREK. I am SOOOOO happy you came!" she cried.
Welp.
The Accidents head got a LOOK from her, yeah.
