It sounded like a good idea to her at the very least. So all the employees could get to know each other outside the regular work place environment. She hadn't been bowling in quite some time; discussing it with her husband earlier, they'd come to the conclusion that it had probably been for their son's 8th birthday party. But she was definitely willing to give it a go. Hopefully it would give her a chance to introduce herself to some of her co-workers.
Leaning against the counter to slip out of her heels and into the provided bowling shoes, Yasmine took her time, surveying the bowling alley and trying to find the only person she had met before: her department head, Eliora Dodderidge. Who apparently hadn't arrived yet or was busy elsewhere at the moment. Well, she would have to find her at a later time then. For now, Yasmina turned to have a closer look at the T-Shirts, which had different team names on them. Some of them were quite clever, weren't they? Smiling to herself, she ended up picking the black one, reading Striketumsempras.
After another quick look around, Yasmina eventually spotted someone who, too, appeared to have chosen the Striketumsempras-team and made her way over to him. "Hello. It appears we're on the same team." She said, once she was close enough for him to hear her, an easy smile playing around her lips. To prove her point, she then held up the shirt before quickly taking off her light jacket and putting the bowling shirt on.
"My name is Yasmina Payton. Which department do you work for?" Lucien looked up when he heard someone close to him begin to speak. And apparently it was to him if the smile on her face and eye contact was any indicator. "Oh, hello." He gave the woman, slightly older than him a small smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Lucien Wright. I'm in Mysteries." He said with a cheeky grin. "What about yourself?" SPOILER!!: Conley Quote:

Instead he found one of his new hires. ”Miss Ainsley,” he said chipperly walking nearby, shoes still gripped in his hand. ”Glad you could make it. Bowl often?” Mai jumped when she heard her name called, she hadn't been paying enough attention and was easily startled. "Mr. Phora! What a pleasure." She said as she recognized his face and gave him a large smile. "I have bowled before, but not here. The balls are...interesting." Mai grimaced. Although what should she really have expected with the name of the place. "How are you sir?" SPOILER!!: Louise Quote:

Taking a plate and a burger along with some fried pickles, she popped one into her mouth just as she saw her boss. Oops. Quickly swallowing the pickle, she grinned at him. "Mr Phora, hi, good break?" Wait. Was that?? Oh she'd met her last year at the World Cup. "Mai!!!!! You're an employee here now!! Oh don't tell me... are you ... International Cooperation too?!?" Finally, she'd have a sorta friend here. She assumed so, since Conley was talking to her. Other than Arabella, at least. She cracked a smile at the purple shirt. Right, she should get one of those and Guttergroit was obviously the team she was meant for.
She gave a small smile at the other girl (Mariana) with the purple shirt. "Hey there, I'm Louise. Looks like we'll be on the groit team together." Cause no gutters for her, hopefully and groit was just too funny of a name. Also, no she hadn't picked up a team shirt yet, but obviously she was going to be since that was the team Mai was on.... Mai jumped again - how does she keep getting surprised like this? But was that - Louise!? At least this is a pleasant surprise! "Louise!? Hi!!" Of course she was excited to see this girl. She was nice to connect with at the World Cup last year. "I am!! Foreign Relations Officer with Japan and France." She saw the look at the purple shirt and cracked a smile of her own, the name was pretty good, but that's off topic. "How are you!? It's been a while."
