SPOILER!!: Dept. Head Constance Dianna stood up. "I'm Dianna Hudson, probably the youngest in this Department." Dianna gave a smile to the others and sat down. |
Gabriela smiled politely at the woman she had been talking and turned her attention to the department head, effectively ending their conversation. This woman seemed to be pleasant enough, and she hadn't kept them waiting TOO long. That was a good sign in Gabi's book. She ran a manicured hand over her hair as it was her turn to introduce herself. "Hello, my name is Gabriela Schaeffer," she said, pausing and deciding against telling them they could call her Gabi. They had to earn that level of closeness with her. "I'm also new to the department and I'll be working in the Experimental Charms Committee," she told them all. Apparently one of the only ones here so far, unless the others hadn't introduced themselves. She turned her attention to the man who had just entered and began to eye up the fruits and veggies he'd brought in. Now THAT was Gabi's idea of finger food. |

"H-H..Hi I'm Nils Butler..I've been here for a few months an I've worked a few times with Gavin." He nervously introduced himself.There had been no need to mention Gavin but it was the first thing that came out of his mouth. Nils dropped half of his nearly eaten doughnut off his hands but caught it before it could touch the floor.The voice had completely surprised him an had given him a split heart attack.He turned around as saw Natalia smiling up at him, "You gave me a heart attack!Please if you're gonna say hi to me,do it from the front-I don't like the element of surprise." He teased her,even if he could STILL feel his heart thumping fast from fright."I'm very good without soda.I mean-I already have a heart attack-don't I?I don't want a stroke with all this food. I guess-I don't know-she could be putting up an act right now." He spoke to Natalia quietly |

SPOILER!!: Constance Introductions? Hmm. Interesting. Kammy was very glad to know that this woman found this important. They did indeed need to get to know each other. Kammy also thought that this woman seemed to be able to get work done efficiently...something Kammy liked. Kammy then stepped forward, a huge smile smile planted on her face. "Hello, everyone, the name's Kammy Patricia. And no, Kammy is NOT nickname, it's my real name," she explained with a small chuckle. "I will be working with pensieves," she added, again wondering what she would exactly be doing. |
Kevin entered the room to meet the new Department head. He saw his workmates already introducing himself to the Dept. head already so he too did. "Hi, please to meet you. And welcome...I'm Kevin..." Kevin said the woman while smiling. |
It was her turn. She stood up, giving a smile to everyone in the conference including the department head. "Hi everyone. My name is Tiffany Zora Pevensie, you could call me Zora or Tiffy if you like to. I will be working at the misinformation office as a junior reminisciator. Actually I am new here so in case I do something wrong, please tell me. It's brilliant to meet you all,"Zora replied cheerfully with a grin. |
As the rest of the department introduced themselves to each other, Gavin poured himself a cup of tea and settled into a chair listening. Some of them he knew from working with them, others he had met when they introuced themselves to him when he had offered help on their first day. The reminiscator did raise a slight eyebrow mid-sip as Nils mentioned his name as part of his introduction. Now that's interesting, he mused to himself before figuring he might as well add his own introduction into the mix. "Hello... I'm Gavin McNally, feeling like the old hat of the level. I've been in the department for over 5 1/2 years, four of which was in Experimental Charms including time as division head and the rest as senior reminiscator in the Office of Misinformation," he said getting it all out before realizing he should probably tell of his latest task. "I'm also the department liaison of Level three," he finished before going silent for the next person to go or for Constance to move on. |

'Hello again,' Natasha replied, lifting the corners of her mouth in her very best smile. 'Have you seen the muck some people are eati-' But Natasha faltered and watched in horror as Kammy picked up a piece of chocolate-coated bread with a hole in its centre (Natasha couldn't help seeing this as yet another example of muggle laziness) and nibbled at it. Natasha was speechless but when Kammy then proceeded to attempt to convince her to try one this soon changed. 'Iwouldnevereatsuchfilth!' :whaa: Natasha backed away slowly. She was baffled as to why Kammy would even want to try such a thing... |
After listening to others introduce themselves and finishing her donut, Rachel stepped forward smiling. "Um, hi!" she started, giving a little wave. "I'm Rachel Smith, and I'm new here. Part of the Invisibility Task Force as the..." Oh no, she'd forgotten her job. She quickly glanced down at her hand where she'd written her job title down. "the junior temporary structure concealment agent!" That was a mouth-full. "And I look forward to working with all of you!" She grabbed another donut and smiled at everyone. Yeah. First impressions, not her thing. |
Neria came into the conferance room and looked at all the people. There were some familiar faces there, amongst them Gavin who had greeted her when she first got to the ministry. She straightened her skirt, brushed off her shoulders and went straight for the empty seat at the other side of the room with a confident smile on her face. She tried to make eye contact with everyone and recognize the faces. The job was more than just working; it was getting to know your colleagues as well. As everyone introduced themselves, Neria waited patiently for her turn. She seized the opportunity, and stood up and gave everyone the confident smile she always wore. "Hello everyone, I am Neria Canterbury. There is no need to call me Ms. Canterbury, Neria will do," she smiled to herself, thinking about her private joke with Landon. "I am new to the Ministry and I will be working alongside Landon and Rachel in the The Office of the Invisibility Task Force as a Wizarding Event Concealment." She liked speaking in large crowds. Somehow it gave her more confidence. "If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." She sat down again and looked around to see if anyone was up for a chat. |
SPOILER!!: Constance Constance Nightingale. Hmm, what a unique name. At least she seemed nice and didn't want their department to be so boring. Natalia watched as one by one everybody started to announce their positions here and finally it was her turn. "Hello everyone, I'm Natalia Tarasova and I've been here for about two years now. I work in the Office of Misinformation as a Junior Reminisciator; working alongside Gavin and Tiffany." She gave a smile and watched as the next person went. Phew, that went by fast. SPOILER!!: Nils How was she supposed to know that he was going to react so badly? "I apologize, Nils." She laughed. She would remember next time to not scare him, but then again...maybe it could be funny. "At least you have some quick skills or else your loveable donut would have touched the floor." She teased him. Natalia laughed once more as he said he could of had a heart attack with all the food. Now if someone actually did, well now, that would be horrible. She raised an eyebrow as he mentioned that Constance could be putting up an act. "I don't think she is, but you never know." She shrugged, taking a bite of her cookie as she listened to everyone's introductions. |

Mandie store around the room as everyone introduced themselves. She was trying to take in all the information, people's names, jobs; all that stuff. Mandie recognised a few from her time wandering Diagon Alley and gave brief smiles in their direction. Once it was her turn she stood up, "Hello! I'm Mandie Elliott from the Muggle-Worthy excuse committee. I'm new here and I can honestly say most of you I've never seen before," Mandie gave a small laugh, "So it should be fun getting to know you all, you too Constance, you seem pretty cool. It'll be a pleasure to work with you!" She finished and gave a big smile to the new department head, showing off straight, whitened teeth and blood red lipstick. She took another sip from her lemonade and watched the next person introduce themselves. Mandie nervously brushed her manicured hands through her dark wavy hair, she couldn't shake the feeling of people judging her. |

"And what good variety," she remarked, moving closer to the table to see what he had chosen to bring with himself. She was tempted to take something, to taste - but resisted, knowing that if she did something like that, her attention would waver away from all her employees. Constance Nightingale is fond of good music, you see. Quote:

Quote:
Gabi - Oh. Constance mind almost immediately wandered off, when the next woman started to speak. She knew that named. She had heard that name. And then she remembered, she had not heard it - she had read it. Read it in the list, she was given which included the names of the employees who had not been told their specific jobs yet. Once she was sure, this girl was one of those - Constance brought her mind back to hear what she was saying. Waiting patiently, with that smile on for her to finish. "Hello Gabriella," Constance greeted, once her newbie employee finished talking. "I am so glad you decided to respond to my owl and visit us here at the department." she said and paused a little before continuing. "I would really like it, if you meet me in my office once we are done here." Quote:
"Hello Nills," she greeted him back, nevertheless. "It's nice to have you here." She nodded before raising an eyebrow out of habit when he said he had worked with Gavin. "Oh you have, have you?" They were her manners that had her pretending that she was interested. Que Smile. Quote:
Quote:
When he welcomed her - Constance couldn't help but smile for real this time. Yep, nobody had welcomed her properly yet. "Thank you Kevin. And please to meet you as well." Quote:
Quote:
Constance kept her polite smile intact and listened. "Hello Gavin, it's nice to meet you" she greeted him like she had greeted the many other employees. She could not just start treating people differently. Even if her mind was already in the process of making opinions about everyone that was in the room. Yep, it was capable of that. Even by just hearing their names. Oh now? He was the department liaison as well? That was something Constance was not aware of. Quote:
"Hello there," she called - eying the girl, indifferently. "You still have not introduced yourself. Who are you?" Quote:
Quote:
Yep. If Constance liked something, she appreciated. Quote:
Quote:
* And with that the introductions came to an end. Constance took no time to treat her throat with some cool water. Heading toward the table, she picked up a plastic cup and filled it with water. She made a mental note to treat her herself with some nice juice once she was done here before placing the cup down and resuming her standing position. "Now then." she began, taking a look at everyone in the room. "Now that I know you all on first name basis and you know me - I think we have taken a first step forward as a team" Constance could make boosting speeches all day long if you want - that's what she is a champion at, since the beginning - even if they would be fake, they would be effective. "I would like you all to be at ease and not to worry about how things will work from now on. I will take this day to settle in and from tomorrow - I will be handing out tasks or whatever that I think your divisions need working on," Constance said, in a calm tone - looking around at everyone. Bringing back her polite smile, she continued: "You guys can dig in, enjoy the refreshments Gavin has brought in for us, mingle around - make friends and feel free to ask me anything," OOC: Sorry for the late late reply but I was preparing for University admissions! xD |
Gavin was glad to see his choices had been favorable, for both employees and boss as Constance noticed his return and voiced her approval. He simply nodded, not wanting to disturb things too much and settled in listening to everyone's introductions. The reminscator smiled at some, making mental notes at others most especially the newer members he hadn't really had a chance to work with yet. He turned his attention back to Constance as she spoke up once more for the gathered group as a whole, an eyebrow raising slightly as ther instructions. Mingle and get to know each other? Thats what the purpose of the meeting in the conference room was for? Hadn't we been doing that all along with people having been coming in droves for a while before the woman's arrival and seeing as Constance the department head was the only newest employee to the level. There was no giving out tasks or asking for opinions on what was already had been given out...no questions and answers though the woman had offered to ask any questions that any one had. Oh well, Gavin mused sitting back in his chair and enjoying his tea. As the one employee who had met each of the others first hand when he welcomed them into the office their first day, the man wasn't sure about getting up and 'mingling.' He was friendly and good with working together as a team but he was quiet at times and the reminicator decided to be there if others wanted to talk to him but not being so forward. |
SPOILER!!: CONSTANCE Kammy smiled in return. "Certainly, I don't mind at all. In fact, being called by my first name by my boss is a big step up. My old one used to just say 'Miss Patricia'...I appreciate it," she told her honestly, feeling at ease all of the sudden with this woman. Sure, she seemed a little snooty, and maybe a bit strict, but Kammy could definitely deal with that. As long as Constance wasn't some psycho boss, she was fine with it. "It's nice to meet you, ma'am. And I'm new here, as well, so we're in the same boat, pretty much," she added with a wink. Kammy didn't know whether Constance had a preference for 'ma'am' or for just plain ole' Constance...hmmm. Quote:
"Oh, come on. it isn't that bad. If you like sweet things, then you'll like it," she said with a small chuckle. She picked up a doughnut and held out at the other woman, egging her to try it out. Muahaha. Kammy could tell she didn't this food... |
Quote:
She seemed so nice that it was only in a small voice that Mandie said, "Mandie Elliott, Elliott with two t's" She gave a slight embarrassed smile back at her and turned to go socialise with her co-workers over at the food table which was now filled with more healthy options. |
Quote:
She couldn't be sure of course since the department was a little chaotic at the moment but they must do this every year in order to welcome the new employees to the department. |
Blake blinked as the introductions seemed to not include her. Was she in the wrong place? Surely she had read her owl correctly about her ministry placement. She stood up and looked around. "Well this is unsettling," she spoke to herself. She didn't like things not being in order. |
Quote:
'Natasha Montgorse-Ayre, Memory Analyst.' Natasha wasn't going to even suggest she was known by a nickname, as she didn't hold with such nonsense, and it looked like Constance didn't either. She closely at the woman. She had long, brown hair with a slight wave to it and brown eyes, and looked like someone who would be ready to sort out any problems that her department had. Which was good because Natasha had noted some already and was planning to inform Constance of them as soon as possible. 'I am new to the department and am delighted to be working at the Ministry. I look forward to working with you.' She smiled cooly at the woman before stepping bck to Kammy's side. Quote:

Imogine had been watching attentavley the entire time. |

"Umm, what do you want us to call you?" Dianna said. "Department Head Constance? or Department Head Nightingale? or...?" Quote:
Tomorrow? New tasks and and assignments. This is what Dianna had been waiting for, actually. She wanted to start working and helping other people. And she was also the P.A.R.T. Urgent Response Officer, much to her delight too. She'll be in charge of Potion-related catastrophes and stuff. Yeah. |

"Ah, yes," Dianna said. Merlin, this woman was very hyper. "I'm Dianna. Nice to meet you, Mandie," |
