Angela nodded. She was excited for this. And she giggled slightly when Dart spoke. The best man around here? *giggles softly*

And then wondered who she should pair up with. Jack and Elizabeth were already paired, so who else? She knew only Nicole from all the others. So Angie decided to pair up with Nicole, if she was okay with it.

So turning to face Nicole, Angie asked, "Um.. Nicole, can we two pair up? I actually don't know most of others, that is why..."

Nicole looked around out of the others and saw Elizabeth and Jack paired together. She was about to ask Angela when she heard her name get called. With a smile she laughed a bit about Angela betting her to it and said, "I'd love." She was happy to get paired with Angela since she was the only one she left she knew, so it was a good thing right?

Angie smiled. "Thanks" she replied back softly. Then addressing Gavin and Katrina, she said, "Nicole and me are pairing up, if thats fine by you.."

Saying so, she sat took one of the tasty-looking cookies, and munched on it. "You want one?" she asked Nicole.

Nicole smiled and looked over at Gavin and Katrina while Angela told them abouth them being paired up. She looked away a little down at her notes she took. Looking up when Angela asked her if she could like a cookie she said, "Sure."

Nodding as Angela and Nicole said they'd also team up, Gavin collected his paperwork. "I'll get the remainder of the plan up and together and place it on each of your desks as soon as it's ready." Glancing over at Katrina he smiled at them all "I guess that means meeting adjourned. Feel free to take some cookies." Picking up the folder and items he'd brought with him to the meeting, he turned to Katrina "Shall we get this all together in my cubicle?" he asked as he headed for the door towards the cubicles.

Bringing out lots of cookies in toe, letting the trays float behind her, she had them set on the table. Cookies... yummy cookies.

You HAD to have cookies for welcoming parties.

She cleared her throat and tapped it using the sonorus spell:

"Attention All International Magical Cooperation employees. Come to the Conference Room and welcome the new employees and enjoy cookies!"

Jack walked into the conference room, working at the Ministry wasn't nearly as fun without Elizabeth but he still loved his Job and thought the people were great, he was excited to meet the new bunch.

Having heard the voice as he was walking into work, he headed straight for the conference room instead of stopping by his desk. Katrina had left the house at the same time, and wasn't far behind he knew...hopefully. A smile played on his lips at the thought of Katrina again, as he entered the conference room.

"Good morning Gina." he said smiling at her as he entered with the cup of coffee in his hand. "Jack." he added nodding toward the man that was in the room as well.

Jack nodded back "Gavin." He wondered who else was coming. Jack was never a social butterfly.

Rebecca briskly walked into the Conference Room and took a seat at the far end. Smiling at those who were already present, she said, "Good morning, guys."

Sophie had been wildly preoccupied with paperwork as of late. It seemed like every time she turned her head something else was coming down from the Minister's office that had to go through paperwork. As much as she loved her job she had never considered working at the ministry would mean so much paperwork for everyone in the office. But Sophie loved her job... With every fiber of her being.

Yet, when Gina called a meeting in the conference room Sophie jumped from her desk. It would be nice to stretch her legs and get some blood pumping through her veins. With a little spring in her step she walked into the conference room and said hello to Gina, "Good morning Gina."

She simply nodded to everyone else at the conference table.

Tabitha, who had at the moment been looking through some immigration papers, had been surprised when Gina called the conference room meeting. Miust be somethign important.
She put down her work, took off her glasses, ran her fingers through her hair, and made her way to the conference room. "Good morning everyone," she muttered with her head down. She didn't wnat to be too noticed.

Gina hadn't heard the first employee walk in as she busied herself with the refreshments, but she recognized Gavin's voice when he come into the conference room. "Gavin, sweety, thank you for coming."

When Gavin greeted the other employee Gina turned her head and saw him standing there. "Jack! My word! I hadn't heard you come in. Thank you for coming to help greet the newbies."

"Good Morning Rebecca dear, I hope everything is going well in your life." She told the woman. "Thank you for coming."

"Good Morning, Sophie darling, I am so glad you put everything you are working on... Meeting your new co-workers is very important you know." She said and smiled at the woman.

"Tabitha, come in and thank you coming to support the new employees." Gina said and then turned to everyone. "I am so glad everyone recognized the importance of a tight knit department. We should all become friends."

Rebecca smiled at Gina. "Yes, everything is fine, thank you. I hope you're doing fine," she replied. Then she glanced at the door, wondering how many people were yet to come. Examining each head around the conference table, she thought to herself, Boy, that's not a lot of co-workers to get to know.

Jack laughed a little. "Sorry, Gina. I'm a little stealthy sometimes." He said looking at the cookies. "Did you make these?" He asked gesturing toward them.

Tabitha looked at the cookies Jack had gestured too. They did look good. She wanted to take one, but she didn't know if she was supposed to yet.
Tabitha smiled at one of the new girls. She seemed like a nice person to get to know.

Taking a seat as others began joining them, he smiled at each one in turn. Lifting his mug of coffee to his lips he took a sip. No one new that he had noticed yet anyway. He was looking forward to the new employees who would be joining them soon. Lowering his mug he set it on the table but kept his hand wrapped around it.

Yes, Dart was just a little late, but did he care about other people's time not exactly. He felt that he was too important to worry about them. His morning had been so far amazing. He had spent it with Amy and they had quite a lovely breakfast together, which was he's excuse for being late. The good looking, Frenchie walked into the conference room with he's usual pride and arrogance. He looked over at he's boss and just gave a small nod. If she wanted a proper greeting, then she'd have to greet him first, it was just how this youngman worked.

The Le King stopped by the entrance and stood still, he then tugged onto he's jacket with one hand and with the other he ruffled he's fingers through he's hair. He just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of he's 'emezing' appearance. Dartanian then gave nod to everyone and continued walking.

Once he had reached the refreshments he stopped again, he picked up one small cookie. It smelled good to him. Without further or do, he brought the cookie to he's mouth and began nibling whilst still trying to look cool at the same time. He was succeeding at that, just like he always did.

"Of course," Sophie replied genuinely, "I would not miss this for anything. I love meeting new employees." That and she was glad to be up and about out from beneath that mountain of paperwork that was awaiting her at her desk. Besides, it was always nice to see new people out and about in the office. New employees also meant new ideas and new ideas meant progress. Sophie, and her OCD, were a stickler for progress. Anything that would help the department move up and forward was always a positive in Sophie's eyes.

"Great," she clapped her hands and made all the trays fly about so everyone could have a cookie.

"Oh heavens no, Jack," She said smiling. "My husband is the chef in our family, I'm just the eater." She grinned.

"Please, have more than one. And talk to one another..." She said smiling.

"Gavin, darling... are you going to be so antisocial? Come on now..." She said playfully.

"Dartanian, nice of you to join us!" She said clapping again. "I'm really unsure of how many new hires we have. I know two... at least." Her memory was not good these days...


"Me too!" She said excitedly.

"How about we start a round of two truths one lie? That's when we all say two truths and one lie and then we all try to figure out which is the lie." That'll be fun!

Smiling at her words, he took another sip. He knew she was teasing, but also knew she was very right. He really never did speak up...sometimes that was a good thing, but he missed out on a lot too, by keeping quiet. Hearing her idea made him grin even more, well that was definitely one way to get to know each other!

Hmmm, what should he say...and uhh...lie about. Oi, well that was something he usually avoided but hmmm could definitely be fun! "Erm...I guess I can start." he spoke up.

"Here goes: 1. Katrina and I are engaged...2. I used to be a Potions professor...3. I'm originally from France."

Becca looked at Gavin. Well, she was new here, and she had no idea which one of those was a lie, but she decided to take a guess.

"Maybe the first thing you said was a lie?" she asked Gavin, hopefully.

She waited for a while and then realised that she was probably next.

"Oh, okay, here I go: 1. My nose has been fractured twice. 2. I am a Muggleborn. 3. I have three siblings."

Then she looked at the others expectantly.

Merlin...he'd hoped Katrina would be there by now! He didn't want to give that away before she got there! So instead of answering, he smiled softly but waited to see if anyone else wanted to give it a shot, before he said which one was a lie.

He also wanted to give others a chance for other's to answer Becca's 3 items. He was thinking...maybe number 3.

Katrina walked into the conference room.... late. Why was she late? Because her siblings were sick and she had to go pick them up from school and take them back home. Then her mother blabbed at her about something and she just walked out the door and back to work. That was when she got the meeting flyer and ended up where she was. "Sorry, Gina. Family emergency." she said quickly taking a seat next to Gavin. "What have I missed?" she whispered to him.

"We are all getting acquainted. Katrina, we're telling each other two truths and one lie... Gavin had a doozy!" She said laughing.
