Anya Gonzales had been looking forward to this day. Her parents did, too, because this was her first unofficial day in her first real job. Definitions were usually subjective, but to Anya's parents, it meant more than just her usual odd jobs. It was nice to finally have her parents' approval. All familial feelings aside, the brunette was excited too, but she was also nervous. There were far too many people to impress in this alley, and she only personally knew Mr. Flamsteed. Everyone else was a stranger. Anya briefly wondered if she should have asked Orianne or Hei or Inès to come along with her, but she had waved away the urge to invite them earlier. She was...a little bit regretful.

Walking in with a smile (a very practiced one from her years as a model), Anya greeted the people she came across with a polite hello. It took her a moment to decide what coloured shirt she wanted, biting her lower lip as she had an interla debate with herself. She didn't mind which team she ended up in because she literally knew no one. This time, she based it off what colour would look best in her denim jeans. She had momentarily considered the white one just like her top now but the polka dot design was a deal breaker, so she opted for the black one (Striketumsempras) instead. Looking around for someone from the black team to introduce herself to, she put on another smile as she approached a woman around her age (Angelica). "Hello. Looks like we're team mates."

This wasn't the ministry orientation Kat had expected. She had usually preferred a much more formal setting, wearing her formal attires all hung inside her wardrobe at home. However, considering that this was a bowling event (with shrunken heads, mind you), a slightly casual get-up was more suited. And that was the problem. She was lucky enough to have found a top that didn't have to go with a coat. Kat made it a point to go through her wardrobe again. She might need to do some shopping. Most of her clothes were still small for her since she had just had her twins a few months ago. Her sister was a delight to have volunteered to watch over her four little rascals while she was gone.

Kat wasn't a fan of bowling either. Sure, she could strike pins in one go. It wasn't like she'd lost all her Quidditch skills from her Hogwarts years. It had its perks, playing for the school team. But it no longer appealed to her thirty-x self anymore. It used to, but she had other interests too. Her teenaged self would call herself boring for knowing how drastically the family life changed her. Even the greasy food options didn't appeal to her at the moment. She would usually save those for mums' night with Elise. Today was obviously not one of those nights. She was a team player, though, so Kat snagged the first shirt she saw (Spareialis Revelio) and went off to find her colleagues.

...She'd prefer wine over butter beer at the moment, and on any other day. And yes, Kat casually eyed the food table again. The pretzels were probably the only other appealing food she could see and manage today.

"Minister, Mariana, Lucille, Alexander, Olly," the blond greeted those she knew and came across. She went to join them, especially the ones from her department. Aside from the people she went to school with years ago, they were the only ones she knew from the ministry. "I trust that you all had an enjoyable break." She kind of did, if you didn't count the numerous times her twin boys woke her up in the middle of the night.

Reed had made no promises to Ava about being her date to the ministry's bowling event, but he said he would try depending on how chaotic today's work at the Prophet would be. In fact, he may have raised an eyebrow at the idea of the ministry holding such an event rather than an orientation for employees, which was usually the case for most (if not all) workplaces. Perhaps a change in routine was their ideal way of kicking off the new year. He had no complaints.

Inside the bowling alley, his instinct made him look for his girlfriend first. That was his priority for the day. He hoped he wouldn't miss the opportunity to join in the mingling. He still was a bit hesitant about possibly joining the game. This wasn't his event, and he preferred being a mere spectator. He'd cheer on his girlfriend instead. Once he'd found Ava in the crowd, he slipped his arm around her waist and quickly kissed the side of her head. "Hey, there. I hope I wasn't too late," he said. Then he looked at her companions (Emilia and Ronan), and Reed assumed they were her colleagues from the auror office. "Hello to you both, as well," the twenty-six year old greeted them with a polite smile too.
