| | Bowling Lanes 
The entire alley is set aside for this event, which means there is plenty of space to spread out and knock over some pins. If you came with friends, feel free to claim a lane, but maybe you should invite a candidate to play with you? There's no better way to gauge a future Minister for Magic than in a little friendly competition (and nacho eating contest). |

| Anyone can grab ❅ Purple Lightsaber ❅| | Captain Sarcastic | Cam had been generous enough to donate, for the raffle basket so he figured that he may as well stay, hang out, and meet the candidates. Though he did know a few of them, some more personally than others and some he didn't know them at all, but by name.
Noticing that there wasn't much meeting and greeting going on. The Tornadoes owner wondered over to the empty bowling lines. They were opened, so they could be used. Which must have been the real reason why the meet and greet. Friendly game of bowling? Really with the way this election is going if someone could beat him, he would be more likely to vote for them.
His competitive side got the best of him. Of course this was Cameron Bayless. That side of him always seem to come out, it was a blessing and curse. Competition always solved everything. Grabbing a bowling ball, got into position and rolled it down the lane. STRIKE! Surely this would get the party started.

Grabbing a bowling ball, got into position and rolled it down the lane. STRIKE! Surely this would get the party started. She was so over dressed. Had she realized it was more of formal affair she would have chosen something different to wear. The woman knew that there were some other things going on right now but she was curious about bowling, she hadn't been bowling in years. She honestly couldn't even remember the last she had been bowling. Gosh, she had to have been a teenager still. Liliana gracefully made her way towards the bowling lanes to have a gander. She knew that nothing had changed with the appearance of the bowling lanes but that didn't mean anything to her. Maybe some memories from her teenaged years would come back to her. Ah, to be young again. She really wished she could turn back time at this point in her life. As the woman looked around she realized that she wasn't the only one at the lanes. She turned her head the side every so slightly and looked at the younger man. "Cameron Bayless." She didn't know him personally but she followed quidditch and knew who his wife was.

| ^^you two Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent Bowling was fun, right? Oliver would say that he was a pretty good bowler, even more so in recent times with his coming to the lanes a little more often. So he was actually pretty excited when he heard that the candidate meet and greet event would be held at the bowling alley. Maybe he could even get one of the candidates to play a few frames with him while he listened to their views on the issues.
Heading over to the lanes, he saw that he pretty much had his choice of where to play. So far there was just one couple playing so far. Had they just started? He supposed he could start his own game, but he decided to take a chance and be friendly, hoping they had just started and he wasn't interrupting. "Hello," he nodded to them both as he made his way over with a small smile. "Mind if I join you?" Hopefully it wasn't a date with three being a crowd, but he thought he would try to be social. He was fairly sure that none of them were candidates, but one never did know for certain.

| Anybody and everybody! Yay, Hamlet! • Cathopper • Disney Fanatic • I was normal once... Logan McDean had not originally planned on coming to this Meet and Greet, but after his older brother, Sam, told him that he could not make it, he realized someone needed to be here to support their cousin, Nolan. He had hoped Seraphina would join him, but she had a practice game to attending so here he was.... alone.
He spent a good minute or two picking out the perfect bowling ball to use before making his way over to a lane, but it seemed there were already people there. People that did not look familiar to him at all, but he was here to meet new people. He needed friends at the Ministry, yes? He would need someone to talk to when/if he started working there next year. "Hello," he greeted the group. "Mind if I join as well?"

As Liliana was talking to Cameron Bayless she heard a couple of other people that had come over and joined the both of them. The woman gave a nod to the both of them. "Not at all. I don't mind." she smiled at the two men and then turned her attention to Cameron. She wasn't able to speak for him. This was amazing! She was feeling less stressed than the night before. Perhaps she would have to get out and socialize more often. To get her mind off of somethings.

| Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent Oliver glanced behind him as he heard another voice asking to join just after he did. He nodded at the man and gave him a friendly smile before turning back to the couple. Oh, good, the woman agreed that they could play too. "Looks like we have a nice group here for a game then." Four was a good number, right? Or at least he thought. He wasn't sure if they wanted to play teams or individual, but he was good with either. "I'm Oliver," he said, still smiling a bit as he introduced himself to the group. Might as well get to know the people he'd be playing with. He stepped over to the balls and picked up a couple, trying to gauge their weight before choosing a medium sized cerulean bowling ball. "So, who's looking good so far for the election?" He had no idea who he was voting for so maybe talking to people about it would help. Or maybe some candidates should talk to him.

| All of you. ❅ Purple Lightsaber ❅| | Captain Sarcastic | Cam was still impressed with himself it had been years since he had gone bowling. He smiled not aware of anyone else being near by. He waited for the ball to come back. Before it could he heard his name. A fan? Or was it someone who actually knew him? Press trying to find out which candidate he would be endorsing that was the most likely possibility. He turned to look in the direction that he heard his name. It must be a reporter, she was dressed like one. "Yes. Sorry I'm not answering questions today." It was the candidates who were supposed to be answering the questions today not him.
Seeing someone else come over and ask to join. See now this guy got the true reason of a meet and greet at a bowling alley. "Sure, are you any good? Think we can interest some of candidates to join in a game." He still wanted thought that would be great to see them compete in something that wasn't for popularity. See who could actually play fair and keep a friendly competition going. Ah someone else showed up too. "Yes the more the merrier." with a grin.
Cameron turned back to the first man he introduced himself. "Cameron Bayless." He said with a nod. Now if they could get some candidates over here, they'd have a game going on for sure.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Periwinkle Evie Paeng Slytherin Fifth Year | Bre Bear | Asherine | Whisper | Kemmy | Raeney | Madyra | Bumble Bee She couldn't believe what she was hearing from the man. Did Cameron Bayless think before he speaks? Clearly not. A reporter? What was he thinking? Oh right. He wasn't. Liliana shook her head. What was wrong with this man? "I am not a reporter. In fact I'm not even a fan of your team or you." she said sternly. "I really hope you don't think that every single person you run into is a reporter. You are famous in the wizarding world, people do know your name and you can't just assume that they're reporters." A slight lecture from an over stressed woman.
Liliana looked at the other man that just introduced himself. "Pleasure to meet you, Oliver." she smiled at him. "I'm Liliana Primeaux." The French woman held out her hand for him to shake. She shrugged slightly. "I'm not sure actually." she thought that being here tonight would help her decide who she would want for the next Minister for Magic but at the moment she wasn't all that impressed. "I thought coming here tonight would help me choose but I'm still not sure who I'll vote for later on. What about you? Do you know who you want?" She was curious about some other opinions and who this man had thought would make a good Minister for Magic.

| Yay, Hamlet! • Cathopper • Disney Fanatic • I was normal once... Logan looked over at Liliana when she had answered both his and the other gentleman's question, and he gave her a little nod to show he acknowledged what she had said. It looked like he had found himself a nice team to bowl with, and while he was here, maybe he could see who they were planning to vote for. "Just what I was thinking," he said in reply to Oliver's statement. "I'm Logan. It's nice to meet you all." The topic of Minister of Magic was brought up, and the man stood quiet as he listened to what the others had to say.... which was really THAT much. Instead of joining into the conversation, he walked over to the podium and began entering everybody's name to the score chart so that they could begin their game. "I think all the candidates are busy over at the meet and greet area," he interrupted Cameron when he mentioned one of them joining their game. "The crowd just keeps growing." He had briefly went there to give Nolan the buttons his brother, Sam, had made him, but he had not stayed long due to the crowd. Hopefully, he could get some words in with his cousin before the party was over. "There are some good candidates this year." There was his two cents for tonight.

| sorry I'm so late! Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent Not answering questions? Oliver looked curiously at the man who had already been in the lane when he told the woman that. A statement which confused him for a few reasons. One, he had assumed that they were together and those words basically confirmed that they were not. And two, if he were a candidate, would he not want questions? Oliver eyed him carefully, though he gave him a polite smile and nod when he introduced himself as Cameron Bayless. So, he wasn't a candidate, but he surely did not recognize the name. Perhaps he should have.
Cameron Bayless did seem friendly enough, even if Oliver was still trying to wrack his brain on who the man might be. Well, the woman did seem to know who he was though, which made him feel slightly embarrassed that he did not. Maybe it would work itself out soon enough. He was more interested in bowling and perhaps chatting a bit about the candidates. Or even if one of the candidates wanted to come over and talk with them as well.
He also gave Liliana and Logan a nod and smile as well when they returned the introduction. "Well, it's nice to meet you all." He glanced behind him to the Meet and Greet area when Logan mentioned that the majority of candidates seemed to be occupied there. "Yes, I suppose... Perhaps if we get a game started they'll be more inclined to come over here as well." For a bowling event, there didn't seem to be many bowling. "I really don't have any idea," he admitted when asked who he might vote for. "I'm not even completely sure who all is running, and I don't have personal ties to any of them." Not that he should necessarily put his personal feelings into the election, he was just throwing it out there that he didn't know any of them. "Yes, I was hoping that this event would help me too," he agreed with Liliana, but he hadn't spoken to any of them yet so perhaps not. "So, let's get this game started," he smiled, then stepped up to the lane. Moving into his stance, he walked forward and threw his ball down the lane, watching its journey to the pins. Only nine? He supposed that was better than a gutter ball at least.
