The blond mid 20’s Games & Sports employee entered the bowling alley and surveyed the people that we’re already there. He couldn’t pick out one single department colleague from a first glance so he walked to the counter to pick up a black team shirt and to switch on a pair of weird looking bowling shoes.
Heading for the nearest lane Jacob picked up a bowling ball, to feel it’s weight in his hands and spotted his boss Victoria enter the alley and waved to her. Overhearing a girl’s introduction near him he flashed a glance over in Topangas direction to answer her question. "If i understood correctly Topanga you just pick any team shirt you want and the other employees that pick the same shirt will be on your team. It’s not department against departments matches." Talking to Topanga he only had half a mind on the bowling ball in his hands and thus Jacob felt it slip out of his fingers grip and down on his left foot and yelped out loudly. "Ouch! Merlin’s quaffles why do the balls have to be so heavy?"
[/FONT][/COLOR] Now there was someone jumping right in to help her. She beamed at the guy who stepped up to the plate to let her know what was going on. She might have missed the memo of how this thing worked or she might have just left it on her messy dresser and forgot it was there after the owl had brought her things. Either way, someone was always willing to jump in and help.
"So I need to grab a shirt and that is my team. hmmm..." She looked around, "So who here are the best palyers?" Topanga laughed, but not for long, "Ouch bud, you okay?" That had to hurt, maybe even broke a toe. 'We got a healer on standby?" Bowling was dangerous didn't people know?
'So what color shirt do you have, I'll just grab that one." Might need to help him walk up to throw the ball down though... Quote:

"Certainly isn't the type of equipment I'm used to using myself. Should present an interesting challenge."
He was about to ask what lane she was going to bowl on, when another one of his employees walked up. ”Ms. Hamilton,” he said inclining his head with a smile. ”It seems you know each other?” he teased. ”I had an excellent break.” Perhaps he sounded a bit too, ah, happy. In fact, he had been rather disappointed that it had ended. ”Enjoyed some sunshine, and relaxed. I hope yours was well.”
Adam has sent an owl to Zita a few days after their date at the Leaky Cauldron asking her if she would like to meet again. He had left the cataloguing of the meeting vague. If she wanted it to be a second date, it would be. If she just wanted to spent time as friends, he was happy with that too. Although, he would be lying a little if he wasn’t hoping it was going to be a date. He had found her to be a little uptight, but interesting. He hoped she had just been as nervous about going on a blind date as he had been. Sure the fact that her blind date had actually been, well mostly blind, was probably enough to put anyone on edge. When she had wrote back that she would meet, he had offered up the annual Ministry orientation outing as an option for their outing. He wasn’t exactly sure how he was going to bowl or if he even should try, but he thought he could at least spend time with her while she bowled. He was sure there was something else they could do if she didn’t feel like throwing around balls. He’d recently found he’d become rather good at pinball – perhaps there was a gaming center here.
He walked into the alley, support cane tappity-tapping, although the sound was lost amidst the thunder of pins being knocked down. He pushed his over-sized purple sunglasses up into his hair and looking around. It pretty dark in here and he really couldn’t see anything with his sight-impaired eyes. He pushed his sunglasses back down. No need to strain his eyes if he wasn’t going to be able to see anything always. He wasn’t sure if Zita was here already or not either. Hopefully, she would find him, because he wasn’t sure if he’d find her.
Zita hadn't gotten there yet, but she got there shortly after. Bowling wasn't a shocking second date, but she was shocked at the number of people that were there when she got there. Was this place always so busy?
No worries though, she was there for one person not a crowd. She liked a crowd though, so of course, she had to look down to make sure she was dressed accordingly... No, no this wasn't how she wanted to be now. She had a nice outfit on, but one that went well with bowling and she didn't care if anyone looked at her.
Her eyes scanning the area, she saw him in front of her and headed that way. "Adam" getting his attention so she wouldn't scare him as she let her hand rest on his arm, "You weren't waiting long were you?" She had hoped he wasn't at least. "It is really busy in here tonight, the ministry has a lot of employees." She knew it was big, but having all in one building became overly aware of how big.
