Ok, so the other guy's name was Aiden. Now he knew all 3 and he couldn't help but smirk as Charliees now was getting help to clean up his shirt, plate and shoes. "Level 5 for me and sauce covered Charles." Ok, yep if the guy didn't like him yet he sure wouldn't soon. Though it was all in good fun. The guy really had to loosen up.

He now had half a mind to splatter some more but instead just grabbed a roll.

Things were a little tense with the old guy but the other two seemed okay. He grabbed a couple cakes and placed them on his plate. "Accidents and Catastrophes. Only been here a couple weeks though. Still settling in so to speak."

Gosh darn it! This was ridiculous. After a moment of internal debate, Charles undid his singed shoelaces and pulled his shoe off before doing the same to the other. He cleaned his sock with his wand and then picked up his shoes and deposited them in the bin. They were just useless now. His eyes narrowed at Gavin's joking tone. " Ffa bi daahuu dehoofaa." He repeated Gavin's earlier words back to him, looking utterly unimpressed.

Jack wearily shook the other Man's hand, this man was such a close friend of Elizabeth's but he didn't know who he was? He found that odd. "Nice to meet you, Benjy..." He said seemingly normal until she mentioned him helping with their children while he was...well while he wasn't around, which bothered him a great deal. This man knew about their issues then, he must think awful things then...but it's not his business to judge. "I guess i should be thanking you then..." Jack managed to say politely when in fact he was angry and wasn't sure why, maybe because some other, younger man was in his home with his wife looking after his children when he couldn't....he wasn't a big fan of the idea.

Benjy was glad to hear that things were back to normal with Elizabeth, so he grinned at her before shaking Jack's hand. "Pleasure to meet you too, Jack. Which department do you work in?" He asked, trying to be polite. After all, this man was Elizabeth's husband.

"No need to thank me. It's my duty as a member of the MLE and as a close family friend to Elizabeth. My cousin, Lily, is also best friends with Taylor." He explained to the husband. Turning back to Elizabeth, he grinned as he looked down at her. "Maybe you should have worn heals today." He teased, chuckling a little bit, before he noticed a little something on her arm. His demeanor changed instantly, gently reaching down and lifting her arm so he could see it a little better. "Um.... Elizabeth.... Did you know that you have a bite mark on your arm?" He asked, glancing from her arm to her face and then over to Jack. "Do you know how she got this?" He asked the husband firmly.

Wes returned Benjy's nod, suddenly feeling jealous of how dedicated the younger man was to his food. Look at him, just digging straight into it. How he missed being a hungry hit wizard! Now he was just a busy department head.

Grunt.

Strutting Walking towards the MLE seating, Aron made sure to pass by the Head Cabbage, his Head Cabbage, who was talking with the Head Cabbage from another department. "Wes, good to see you again and congratulations on...everything," he said as he stuck out one of his hands and balanced his gravy plate on the other. "And thank you for the bonus," he said lowering his voice. It had REALLY come in handy this break in treating the future Mrs. Ashburry-Hawthorne to a vacation in Fiji.

"Good to see you as well, Rafael." Fellow plant slash environmental bro. Always a pleasure.

Was that Honking Daffodil of a woman here? She didn't seem to be. She probably would scold Aron for TOUCHING a plate or the table.

Aron's eyes drifted a bit as he moved to put his plate down to where someone was...drooling? Well, he DID suppose the food here was rather mouthwatering...until the woman began acting rather oddly. "Has that woman been around too much mallowsweet or something?" he asked, leaning over towards Wes as he pointed to the drooling woman.

"Hey Aron, thanks," Wes nodded back toward his plant-loving employee. His eyes only twinkled at mention of the raise (the man had earned it, after all), and made a note to congratulate him later too. About that engagement. Yeah, never mind that it had happened a while ago...

His head whipped around at mention of someone drooling... a different someone than the guy staring in space, too. Uh oh, that was Kensi. She'd just asked for some time off before break, too.

"I'm not sure..." he murmured in response, taking a half a step her way before he was caught up in conversation again. Merlin, it had been his point to come to the buffet to EAT, not to TALK!

Julia took her fork, she saw Wes standing. "Aren't you gonna sit down? And did you just say you had twins?" she asked, amused. "Congrats. And nice name, especially Logan" Julia began to munch on her salad when she noticed Rafael wasn't eating anything. "Erm, whats up?" she asked him. "Are you feeling well, Mr.Rafael?"

She looked at the man whom Wes pointed. Uhm, he does look bad. Competition for Mr.Rafael. "He looks like the latest zombie on the lose-" She turned towards Wes. "- But don't worry, I won't let him spoil your suit" she chuckled a bit.

"It's not bad," he shrugged toward her. His smiles were fading fast as he was starting to get a bad feeling about some of the people here. It was like they were all.... infected with something. So bizzare!

Wasn't he going to sit down? "Well I'd LIKE to," Wes nearly growled. He did take a step toward the table, finally, hoping his precious food wasn't TOO cold by now.

"There's zombies on the loose?" Wes whipped his head around again to STARE at Julia. "What? What are you talking about?" And why hadn't he been informed of this sooner?!

SPOILER!!: Melissa, Kensi

"Oh you saw me laughing? I was surprised that I had so much food on my plate and was wondering whether people would think whether I had not eaten in weeks." Melissa grinned at him.

"I have to say though, that I actually may come back for seconds. Everything looks so delicious." she blushed when her tummy growled again.

Really REALLY confused...

The American lost her gaze and continued walking..the drooling was more like a waterfall, now...and she walked right past the tables and headed straight for a WALL.

BAM!

Kensi ran right into it, and she bounced back a little, tripped, and fell FLAT on her back....she had her eyes closed, but her head was spinning...where...was she...and why was she...laying down...WORK..she was at work...

What?

She coughed and immediately felt like vomiting. UGH.

"H-help?" she asked feebly, to no one in particular....ugh ugh

UGH!

But then she stopped when she got nearer to the woman. Something was not right with her. But she couldn't just stand there and do nothing, so she knelt down and said.

"Are you okay?"Melissa asked before she realized that she had just asked a dumb question. 'Of course she isn't Melissa or do you think all staff come in to eat looking pale and falling down on the floor." Melissa chided herself.

She looked around to see whether anyone else noticed what was going on .

"Can someone please help here?"Melissa called out. She noticed that the woman was also drooling. Was she having a seizure?

Melissa immediately took off her jacket and placed it under the woman's head. Then she began to loosen her clothing. 'Oh Merlin I do hope I know what I'm doing. Where is everybody?'

And plus, she was confused.

"I..don't know why I'm..here..." but she knew that she knew why she was here..before...if that made ANY sense?! She rubbed her head and suddenly aw stars...her head was spinning...and she began to gag, like she might throw up. She clutched her stomach and turned her head to the side so that the 'helpful' lady wouldn't be in the way of any...projectiles.

BLEGH!

Kensi's drool was also not helping..it was making her choke and sputter even more...

Melissa breathed a sigh of relief and figured that maybe she was feeling better although she still look pale, was still drooling and looked almost catatonic.

Then she noticed her pulling out her wand. Melissa's internal alarm went off. Why was she pulling out her wand? Melissa decided she wasn't going to wait to find out. Unholstering her own wand, she pointed her wand at the lady, called out," Expelliarmus" and quickly disarmed the lady of her wand catching it as it flew to her.

What in the world was happening? Had she done the right thing by disarming her? Maybe she just wanted to look at it. All those thoughts raced through Melissa's mind all at once.

'It's okay Melissa. Everyone knows how to disarm someone of their wand. You didn't reveal anything else.' Melissa told herself. She just wished her training instincts hadn't instinctively kicked in the way it did. No one could know her secret. Not yet at least.

Just then, the crowd parted, and Wes witnessed one of his employees disarming the other. He had missed the 'seizure' spectacle in between talking to Julia and Rafa, and now he was torn between rudely leaving the people he was talking to and intervening between the employees. Were they fighting? Was this a duel in the middle of the orientation??!

Or was something else going on.... Whitworth didn't even appear to be reacting to her disarment, and Potter didn't look too happy about having disarmed her either.

All right, his curiosity was getting the best of him. "Excuse me, Rafael, Julia," Wes grunted to the two, carrying his plate over to the table and thumping it down rather forcefully next to Kensi. He waited for her to react, and looked to Melissa with a sigh.

"Good thought, disarming her like that." He snapped two fingers in the patrol officer's face. "How long has she been doing this??"

Elizabeth glanced at her husband and noticed that he was getting angry. She gave Jack a quick frown then beamed at Benjy. "I am lucky to work with my husband." She leaned into Jack and gave him a kiss on the cheek." She laughed at what Benjy said and took a step toward him, standing on her toes. She still had to look up at him, "Yeah... I should have worn heels." She pull a pout but it was ruined by a giggle which was in turn ruined by his demeanor changing. She sighed as he lift her arm as he looked at her bite mark. "Yeah, I knew it..." She frowned, "I got it from a lady who Jack said was a zombie." Elizabeth shrugged, "It isnt anything too bad though, Benjy... and I already promised Jack that I would go to a healer if anything unusual starts happening..."

Jack tried to smile at his wife. "Yes, we work together in IC...it's where we met actually.." He said looking at his wife sweetly. "I'm glad you didn't wear heels..." He said still in a good mood but then he scowled at the other man, lifting his wife's arm and seemingly accusing him of harming her. "Unhand my wife....if you must know she was bitten by a zombie a few moments ago...thank you for your concern but i'm plenty capable for looking out for her."

"Not for long," He said mostly to himself as he eyed those approaching. The Spaniard was increasingly aware of how people were gravitating towards the food. He'd probably wander off soon. Brow raising, he looked towards Julia confused. "I am feeling well." Did he look sickly? "Better than most here, thank you." His eyes to turned towards the zombies.

Interesting.

"Same here, Aron. I hope the holiday treated you well?" He didn't get stuck with skeleton staff did he? That would have been a shame.

Wes grabbed his attention once more, and Rafa's eyes flicked back to the "Those are good names for boys." And two... sounded like a handful, but Wes seemed to be surviving. Maybe. "I didn't know you were from there, was spending some time with a friend..." His attention was drifting now though. It seemed this wouldn't be a issue free orientation. Nodding his head at Wes' parting figure, he idly wondered when he should find the time to make his own exit.

Benjy listened quietly at the interaction between Elizabeth and Jack as they told him that they work in the same division. He only grinned at Elizabeth's comment about heels. Besides that, he didn't show any emotion, neither happy nor any other emotion. He just had a serious look on his face. "I'm not sure you should wait until something happens before you go to a healer. It might be too late by then." He said, addressing Elizabeth, turning to stare at Jack at the command to let go of Elizabeth. He did in fact let her arm go, but as soon as he did, he stepped over towards Jack, still looking directly into the man's eyes.

"Yes. I must know these things, because while I fully trust that you would look out for Elizabeth, I must also have her back and your back. I am in no way shape or form trying to take over your position as husband. I am only trying to provide an extra source of security for her. Where were you a few weeks ago when Elizabeth needed someone to talk to? Unfortunately, you couldn't be there for her, but I was there." Benjy paused, lowering his voice enough so that only Jack could hear. "I have a girlfriend. I'm not looking for another. As was mentioned before, Elizabeth and I are almost like siblings, and siblings look out for each other. Thus, while I am sure you look out for Elizabeth, I do the same." And with that, Benjy stopped. His face still not showing any signs of emotion. He took a step back to allow Elizabeth to rejoin the two of them. He really had nothing against Jack, except that he needed to relax around Benjy. He needn't be afraid that his wife would be taken from him. Benjy just wanted to reciprocate that sibling relationship with Elizabeth, and Jack just needed to accept that this was how it was going to be.

A frown was growing on her face while the two bickered like children. She had enough so she grabbed a chair and stood on it. She snarled and took both of their ears, pulling them so that they would stop bickering, "You two listen here. I will NOT have bickering between you two while I am around. I care about both of you, Jack as a wife and Benjy as a sister." She glared then looked at her husband. "Jack, there is no reason to be jealous and angry at Benjy, he is trying to help." She then looked at Benjy, "Benjy, you aint helping the situation." She turned and glared at both of them, "Now I have it with you two. You just met and you are bickering! Both of you are strong men. I get it but that doesnt mean I want to hear nonsense bickering between the two of you! Got it?" She let go of their ears, stepped down and put the chair up. Elizabeth crossed her arms and looked up at them, glaring. She was unhappy and it definitely showed.

The redhead was still staring onward, and her mouth was drooooooling drooling. Bad. She wasn't blinking, still, and it was a wonder that her eyes weren't watery. She had her wand held aloft, as if she were about to perform a spell...however...

IT was gone.

Her wand.

Kensi didn't flinch...or anything...she just placed her hand on the table slowly, mechanically, and began to mouth words that weren't really words. Her eyes were a bit bloodshot, actually..and her cheeks...were so pale. There was no natural tint at all. It was all...pale...and clammy.

But she didn't really notice...

"Good thought, disarming her like that." He snapped two fingers in the patrol officer's face. "How long has she been doing this??"

Kensi didn't flinch as the man approached..and snapped in front of her face. In fact, her hand just reached up in an attempt to grab them, and she bared her teeth. But just for a second. She mumbled incoherently some more, and her eyes were still unwavering..no blinking. Unfocused. Just staring.

Then, the redhead leaned forward, like she was fainting, and her head hit the table. She was asleep! Or seemed to be, until she suddenly snapped upward, and her eyes widened...Wha-what?! She saw Bossman and looked terrified...Was she in trouble?! had she done something?! Had she fazed out?!

"I'm..confu-" then she spotted her WAND! in the woman's hands! HEr eyes narrowed and she quickly snatched it back! "Hey! How did you get that?!" she cried, looking thoroughly ticked off, now. She glareglareGLARRRED at her!

Once Jack's ear was released he looked at the other man, looking into his eyes, his on fire and full of anger.. "No, you mustn't know these things...I have her back and that's enough...and she has mine...don't you dare pretend you know what i went through...You don't know a thing about me!" Jack was furious, but he wasn't done, he was no child and his wife shouldn't make him feel like one in public. "And Elizabeth, I don't need his help...he's not a part of this family and i don't need him stepping in for me.." He said and stormed off, he didn't want to say something he was going to regret.

Leo was pleased his letter had done some good. "Anytime, cousin." he grinned. This was shaping up to be a little less awful than he had thought. He glanced around the room for his fiance. "Hey, come with me, and I'll introduce you to my fiance. She's here somewhere." Maine was fantastic at charms and spells. She had previously worked in the same department as Leo, but had transfered on account of Armen Recard, and now seemed to have found her calling in her new department.

But where was she? Leo tugged at his tie again. Ties were the worst part of parties and work.

Manolo nodded, excited to meet the famous stranger who is soon to be part of their family. Well, she can be already, but OFFICIALLY. He followed his cousin while continuing to stuff his mouth.

Stabbing one of his gravy covered rolls with a fork, Aron took a rather large bite out of it before turning his attention back to Raf and chewing vigorously to catch up to the conversation. Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaavy. "My holiday was brilliant. Too the future Missus to Fiji," he said with a smirk and another chomp on his roll. "The aquatic plants there are simply breathtaking." Brought tears to his eyes every now and then if he was being entirely honest - not that he would mention this.

But then there were mentions of zombies? He ended up arching an eyebrow towards his Head Cabbage as he took another chomp out of his roll. "I thought those things were only in the Southern part of America," he mused. Nom nom nom nom. Maybe he should have some beef with his gravy. "Does this mean I should be taking samples of her drool and examining it in the lab?"

He nodded his head towards Wes as he walked over towards the two women and stabbed his fork into some beef and stuffed it in his mouth. Should he follow? Probably.

Sighing slightly, Aron left his plate on the table and walked over to where Wes was and began to rummage through his jacket for a small bag, charmed naturally, that contained most of his forensics equipment.

So...drool sample?

Melissa was relieved when her Department Head showed up. "Mr. Ferguson. Thank goodness." Melissa sighed with relief.

"I noticed her walking in and then falling down. I first thought she was having a seizure because she was drooling a lot." Melissa still couldn't believe what had just happened. She looked at the wand that she was holding in her hand.

"Then she stood up, sat down at the table, and took out her wand. I didn't know what she was intending to do, so I disarmed her."



"I'm sorry...I'm sorry. I didn't know what you were going to do with it." Melissa apologized to the woman, letting the woman have her wand back. She took a step back, so that Mr. Ferguson was standing in between her and the woman.

Well, Ella certainly had had enough of the meet and greet area. It had gotten very crowded very quickly and she decided she had met enough people. Not that she was antisocial or anything, but large crowds for long periods of team did not sit with her well. So, off to the buffet she went.

After picking up a plate, Ella glanced down the buffet at all the food and saw Rafael a few feet away. She gave him a friendly smile as well as a little nod. But then her attention was drawn to Wesley as he went off towards the tables and - oh dear, it was Kensi again. Ella liked the woman, but there was seriously something wrong with her. But she decided this time that she wasn't her problem. Plus, she was starving, so she would let Wesley deal with her. Heh.

Turning her attention back to the food, Ella scooped up some roasted chicken and gravy. And then decided to add some vegetables to balance it out.

Julia took a look at his face. "Well yes, you do look better than the others" she said. She turned to look at the man Wes had shown. What was with these people? "Are you always like this?" she asked Rafa, turning back to him. "Silent?" Well, if he wasn't always, he was now.

Julia just smiled. Being the boss had its own plus and minus, maybe more minus sometimes. Julia ate her food, taking small bites, it was pretty good. Then she saw the smile on his face fade. "Then you should have a good meal" she said, pointing to the chair.

She was bit shocked when he suddenly turned to stare at her. She dropped her fork on the plate. "I.was.just-" she said, slowly, a word at a time, "-joking" She hadn't expected him to react that way. "But you can see people behaving rather.." she searched for the word, "..rather odd, lately" She pointed at the drooling man and now, another women.

Then she heard the disarming spell. Melissa? Wes made his way through, Julia looked at Rafa. Don't think he'll be moving from there, maybe if it were from his department? "Excuse me, please, I'll be back" she said and followed Wes. She heard Wes speak. How long has she been doing this??

"What are you thinking, Wes?" she asked him, her voice low.

And she saw another at the scene. Ah, the man who had a light chat with Elinor. She saw him taking a small container. Aw, good job. Maybe she should assist. "Aron, isn't it? Do you mind my helping?" she asked, well some do at times.

"Melissa" she called her co-worker, possibly a friend. She took her hand. The woman looked a bit shocked. Well who wouldn't if the person next was..weird. "You're.. okay right? Did she scare you" She cast a look at the other woman. She did look bad.

Maine walked into the area, miraculously managing to keep her balance. Moving towards the Accidents and Catastrophes section, she noticed a card with her name set on a very intricately designed plate set in the middle of fancy cutlery. Smiling, she moved the card off her plate and onto the table.

Picking the plate up, Maine made her way towards the buffet tables. She'd only gone halfway when she noticed her fiance. Smiling, she moved quietly behind him and tapped his shoulder.

"Hi," she said softly, adjusting her scarf a little to cover her shoulders better. It was cold in here. Didn't these people know about heating charms? They definitely needed those. But Maine wasn't complaining. She was used to this temperature.

Cherry had the feeling that Aiden didn't really like the Charlie guy. ... And she could honestly understand why since he seemed like a huge grump. Satisfied that he had to clean his socks and shoes now, she smirked. "I am in Law Enforcement." And it was absolutely amazing. She honestly couldn't remember why she had joined this Department, but it had been in her hippie phase.

Noticing Charlie start speaking gibberish, she turned her attention back to him and raised her brow. "What did you say? Is that some strange language I never heard of?" It sounded weeird. :/

So level's 2, 3 and 5. Not too bad, get a few more they'd have one from every level. Snorting he couldn't help it whatsoever when Charles repeated his own words back to him from earlier. "Mermish." he said shaking his head at Cherry's question. "And he just said he's amused at my confidence." His eyebrows lifted though when the guy went and threw his shoes into the garbage.

Ok then walk around in his stocking feet? And here Gavin had thought him to be so proper!

Benjy would have laughed at the fact that Elizabeth had to stand on a chair in order to pull their ears, but he knew that this was not a good time to be laughing/teasing. So the redhead just listened, not making eye contact with her because he knew that her face would just show displeasure. It was pretty obvious that she didn't like how Benjy and Jack were interacting. But Benjy was just trying to prove to Jack that he needed to know things that were happening to Elizabeth.... especially when Jack wasn't around.

Once the tirade from Elizabeth was over, Jack started up. And Benjy just stood there, listening and watching as the angry man stormed off. Turning towards Elizabeth, Benjy sighed slightly. "Just make sure you go see a healer about that bite." He muttered, obviously tired, before slumping down into his seat again. "Now go after him... he needs you more than I do."

And it seemed that this whole 'orientation' business had just gotten much more interesting. Roxanne had just missed the disarmament scene, coming up just as Julia mentioned the zombies to Wes. "She's telling the truth. I saw a couple in the food court just before vacation. I almost told Dorian but....." And what exactly was the end of that sentence? That she was distracted by the fact that he'd actually used her first name, they were actually having a conversation longer than 'hi', his face? She was afraid that he'd blow her off and think she was crazy?

Anyway, now that she had had the time to actually take in the whole scene she noticed how pale and out of it Kensi looked. Almost like those zombies she had mentioned. Was Kensi turning into one of them? If so, what could they do about it? Was there a cure? But then she snapped out of it and seemed angry about her wand being snatched. Uh oh.

"I think you're confusing zombies with vampires. Zombies can happen anywhere," Roxanne corrected Aron with a smile. Or at least, that's she had heard.

And now there was talk of drool samples. Ugh. She wanted no part of that. But, how else could she be of use? This didn't seem to be a criminal investigation, nor was anyone trial here so.... But she still wanted to be of some help.

Tears came in her eyes at what Jack said and because he stormed off. She glanced at Benjy and nodded. "Yeah, I will and I am." She kissed his cheek, "Talk to you later..." At that, she rushed after her husband, trying to hold her tears back from what happened.
