When she reached the door she was looking for, she saw it stood wide open. She hesitated, not knowing whether or not to knock. Making up her mind, she took a step inside.
A man and a woman were already in there. "Excuse me," said Damelza. "I'm starting work here today. My name's Damelza Penndragon." She strode forewards gracefully to shake hands with the woman, and smiled down at the man.
Violet looked up as someone entered the room. The woman's face was unfamiliar...and so was her name. Another new employee. There had been a lot of new people coming in lately.
She shook the Demelza's hand, a smile on her face and the professional air back in place. "I'm Violet Silvermoon. I'm your division head. You can take any of the free desks." She gestured towards the back of the room, where a row of desks stood stolidly, unoccupied. "Do you have any questions for me?" she asked.

He'd ask her again, if he could remember the name... and he had been pretty good friends with the guy...
"Hello Damelza, I'm Evan Pryce," he said, nodding at her. "Your first day, too?"
Violet raised her eyebrows. Did she know a...who? Well, it could hardly be important. She gave him a nod. "No questions from you, then? all right. Don't forget to come and see me if any come to mind."
