There had been a bit too much on the Minister's mind, too many checks and balances, to keep track of all that. January could remind him if it was necessary. For now, Charles was more than content assisting with shoes and shirt and being one of the first faces Ministry employees received.

"Ah, Shang Wu," he greeted with a wide smile as he easily recognized the man from his resume. "Welcome to our Ministry! I look forward to seeing what you add to the Minister's Office." And then the man gave the hem of his shirt a bit of a tug to admire it. "Rather befitting of Bertie Bott's, wouldn't you agree?"

Olivia Olly was certainly in a hurry and is PLEASED the man GREATLY to see such enthusiasm from the Environmental head. She hadn't seem as excited during their planning meetings but he would atone this shift to seeing everything in motion and becoming engrossed in the experience. LOVELY!

His eyes briefly met those belonging to Conley and he felt himself feel just a bit on edge with the man and whom he may have brought as a plus one. There were concerns and the man was not oblivious, but so far it seemed that the Minister need not say anything. May it STAY that way.

And then there was one James Draper and, honestly, the Creatures head should know what the Minister was going to say by now. "Look alive, James," he chuckled as he gave the man a HEARTY slap on the back once he received his black t-shirt. "Just because you are wearing black doesn't mean you are at a funeral."

And it was ALWAYS lovely to see January. He offered her a playful little bout of finger wiggling before his attention was back to passing out t-shirts to the next employee.

And Ronan, young man, was missing the point in that this was most certainly not an orientation. The party planning committee was quite good at their jobs for these functions. And Charles would have happily explained the difference were such thoughts voiced, but alas.

"Victoria, join the Beans team?" he mused while wiggling a shirt towards her dreary disposition. And he would have answered the other young woman's questions, but it seemed the one fellow from Transportation was giving it a go and Charles would be a proper wingman and not intervene...until he utterly confused her. Should it come to that.

Chuckling at Eliora and her consistent need for a coffee IV and leaned over the counter to shout at her. Let it not be said that Charles knew how to, mostly, take care of his employees. "I GOT YOU A FRESH BREW HERE BEHIND THE COUNTER, ELIORA!" In a quaint looking tumbler too. Eco friendly and such. Be proud of the man, Olivia Olly.

And, to be fair to the establishment, if a coffee machine had been in demand it SHOULD have been added to their lists of necessity.

Charles then noticed Adam and it reminded the Ministry that he needed to poke and prod Airey about giving that man a much over due bonus for his work in Mysteries. Well over a decade now, hadn't it been? Charles would need to consult the paperwork there. And then he was joined by a charming young woman. "Oh Adam! Lovely of you to bring your daughter to the function," he smiled BROADLY. He hadn't even known that Adam had married! This was a problem that did occasionally arise with Unspeakable records but no matter. "What color will it be then?" he asked as his hands waved over the t-shirt options.

Ah and there was Kendra! He wanted to have a chat with her later for some further follow up about what had happened at the World Cup. Very peculiar. He offered her a warm smile and wave as she moved on with her purple shirt.


Victoria was lost in her own thoughts, thoughts that truly made her smile and want to leave at the same time. Placing the thoughts with how rubbish she was at bowling and this was starting off great. Her eyes lifted as she saw a familiar face and she gave Jacob a wave, she'd speak to her department employee soon, but he seemed to have jumped right in with all the bowling and helping new employees, but her face did cringe as he dropped the ball on his foot.

Her features softened a bit as she heard a very familiar voice, "Oh I don't know, I was hoping to blend into the background and just watch everyone else. I could help with the food if needed." As a department head she assumed the minister of magic wasn't going to let her off the hook that easy. "Do you think I'll be good on the... Beans?" What color were they again, she did fancy purple though, maybe she could be on that team.

"What team are you going to be on Charles?"
