The Dining and Seating Area
 

http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/...psbe402b73.png

As you enter the hall, you will see, on one side of the hall, a main stage that is set up in front of a large seating area. At the back of the hall there is a buffet with delicious delicacies, including fantastic dishes such as lasagna, pork chops, and barbeque ribs. Butterbeer and elf wine are just a few among the many drinks for you to enjoy. For dessert, we have a selection of toppings to make ice cream sundaes, as well as a selection of pies and puddings.

For anyone!
 

"Yeah, I'd wanted to do that, but I enjoyed watching the three that had been dunked, get dunked." he said with an amused voice. It had been very amusing watching the three candidates get soaked to the skin. He knew it wouldn't have been as amusing if it had been he himself though, he'd just been relieved that he'd gotten enough votes to keep from being dunked. He hadn't cared if he was one with the top votes but to have so few, that would have bothered him a lot.

Nodding, he gave a slight shrug "I just answer the questions and do as asked and hopefully come out alright." He hated that they might pry, but what could he do? He'd rather this was all done and over with but that was unlikely to happen anytime soon. Walking into the seating area, he steered away from the dance floor, not really caring to do any dancing with Becca. Friend or not, he wasn't about to do that! "I definitely will. Some sort of sign" he whispered conspiratorially.

"I bet." she smirked at the thought of three full grown adults getting dunked in water. It was cold water, right? MUAHA. Okay, keep the mean streak hidden. Heh.

"That's good. Just be honest." she agreed, nodding. Hopefully they wouldn't be too nosy. Gavin had kept this thing with Kat quiet, right? She hoped it was quiet enough to not get to those who were running the debate. Walking alongside Gavin a little lost in thought, Becca just allowed him to guide her wherever he saw fit, but when she snapped out of her daydream, she realised he'd deliberately avoided the dance floor and that was more than okay with her. "That's perfect." she gave him a wink.

Nodding, he figured that would be the best route to go. Not many knew about his problems with Kat and unless people had noticed her absence and the fact that the baby hadn't arrived, like it should have a few weeks ago, then no one would know anyway. They might just well think that she was just on maternity leave. Yeah...that made sense. But he couldn't well say she was on maternity leave for the next five years.

He hadn't noticed that she was thinking on anything. He was more paying attention to what was happening in the room and the employees around them. "Sounds good." he said with a grin. He wondered what it was she had planned if he did give her a sign of HEY step in and cause a distraction! "Must be weird for you to be back here." he said softly.

Anybody? We'll try not to bite ^_^
 

Her eyes fell onto his face as he said it must be weird for her. "It kind of is." she agreed. "Last time I was here, there was a different man on my arm and compared to what followed, we were blissfully happy." Her eyes scanned the room. "Everything has its time, though." She was more than happy at the moment with Gid, but she hoped that the saying 'Good things never last' wouldn't be proved true with them. She was holding onto that relationship with everything she had. "Must be weird for you to be here with me." she turned the conversation back on Gavin.

Nodding as she responded, he totally got that, nothing could take away a memory of when you were last in a place, especially when it was so completely different right now. He'd barely knew Brian, but knew at least at that time she was happy, pregnant, and had a little boy. Now, they were apart, and Brian had the children. It was just sad, just wrong. But he was truly happy for Becca, having found Gidyun.

"Everything does have its time." he murmured. And sometimes those times expire and are no more. Like she and Brian or he and Kat. "It's better then being alone I have to say though." he said offering her a smile. Yeah he hadn't been looking forward to the debates alone, and with his manager having done a bunk, he was kind of relieved.

Giving him a nod as he repeated her words, she glanced around the room once more. Her eyes fell on the woman he'd actively avoided before. Hmm, yeah, they'd have to keep out of earshot of her. Her name was Ivy, right? Eyeing her a little, Becca gave Gavin a nod. "Well, like I said before, always here for you." she gave him a fond, friendly smile. "I'll come with you to all the debates if you want or need someone there."

Anyone? ^___^
 

Anyone? :D
 

Grinning back at her words he nodded "I appreciate that a lot." he said as his gaze went back to hers. More than he could ever say, he'd not told her everything but she could probably very well guess what he hadn't told her yet. And if they kept in contact eventually she'd know anyway. "I'd appreciate that. I don't know if there will be more but I'll keep you posted to know if there are, so you can attend them if you're free." That and if her fiance didn't mind as well!

Wanted to reply to all four of you
 

Gerti did not stay behind with Crip Shaar, who for some reason was now eavesdropping on two of the candidates conversation. She recognized another one of the candidates sitting at the buffet table. She approached her and sat down a chair away. "Hello, I'm Gerti. I was pretty impressed by your speech, by the way. Any idea how things will be done this time?"

Crip Shaar walked out of the entrrance Archway and towards the buffet table after hearing what had needed to hear. He didn't care about the food, he had eaten before coming. His eyes zeroed in on one of the new Ministry workers, he had watched this one sign up. The boy seemed to be looking for someone. Hmmmmmmmmm. :shifty:

"OY! I think you dropped something!" So shouted Crip Shaar as he raised a small potion above his head.

Just giving him a nod, she smiled at him again. It was nice to see his natural smile when he spoke with her. She was glad she could keep his mind off things for a while. "Of course. I'll make sure I'm free to attend them whenever they're scheduled." She patted his arm gently. "I'll even dress up for those too if you want." she grinned at him.

Jonny Boy and whoever else XD
 

Caroline Delgado was now officially a Ministry employee. Finding out just a few hours ago that she was going to be the new nursery healer in the specality department.

She had gone to the bathroom while her husband found a table. When she came back she seen him standing in line for foods. She laughed, she figured that was the first thing he did. So finding them a seat she sat down waiting for him to find her.

Food.

That was his main concern right now. Because his stomach just seemed to roar in approval at the sight of the buffet. Being quite tall, Jonathan had the tiny advantage in the fact that he could tiptoe and peer over people's heads to try and see the food that was laid out for them. Although, this tiptoeing action kind of made the man feel like some sort of ballerina.

Hearing that familiar tinkle of laughter, Jonny bent down again and turned to face his wife. A grin spread across his face as he watched her head over towards an empty table. Trust Caroline to be the smart one. And trust him to be the pig.

Eh. Food was food.

And speaking of food... HEWASATTHETABLE.

The Tutshill Tornados star grabbed two plates and started piling them up with food, making particular care to add extras for his because of his big appetite. ... What? A man's gotta eat. Once the plates were filled up, Jonny turned away and headed over towards Caroline. He set her plate down in front of her before sitting down in the seat opposite hers and setting his plate down as well. There. Now he was ready to-

Oh. He was missing something right?

"You look beautiful, Caroline," Husband points.

John quickly looked towards whoever shouted, he raised a brow. What did he drop? Not letting his guard down, was one of his specialties "Excuse me?" he said wanting clarity.

Maybe Johnathan heard wrong? Whatever it was he finished chewing the food inside his mouth, before it causes him to choke.

Please let me know if you snatch him =)
 

He was trying to relax but so far it wasn't working all that well. Maybe he should eat....erm no maybe a drink of...juice. Yep, he needed to just take things as they came. Though he honestly wished the debate was starting so he could get it over with! "That'd be great!" he said nodding at her response. Merlin, dress up? She looked fantastic in that dress. He didn't dare say anything other than she looking beautiful though! "You look great in that, you don't need anything fancy." he assured her.

Having known Gavin for so long, Becca could see that he was tense. Her eyes focused on his face as he expressed his desire for her to be at the other debates. She could see that he was just glad to have someone who was willing to stand by his side for a while. His compliment on her appearance was greatly appreciated, especially since it was the second time he'd mentioned it and twice meant that he really did think so and wasn't saying so out of politeness. "Thank you, Gavin." she gave him a fond smile, more than pleased that he thought she looked good.

Satine walked into the dining area in her favorite blue suit and for today she had changed her hair to a tad darker shade of blue. She glanced around the room for a familiar face, but alas, no one was here that she recognized. She had to admit she was less than excited to be here today....after all, her candidate had been avoiding her at every turn. She was nervous about being here today with all of that going on.

She let out a little breath that she hadn't realized she was holding and then walked towards an empty table. She was feeling a little bit anti-social right now.
