Taking the disgusting looking thing Colby threw it over his shoulder. That was the closest he was getting to wearing that thing. "Right, a nice time." He was sure he was not going to have a nice time here. A nice time would be spending the evening with Hadley, not some over grown buffoon who thinks he is superior to everyone around him.

Rolling his eyes as he looked back at Bryce wearing that ridiculous looking shirt he couldn't help but laugh. "And you wonder why you're still a single man. You'll never find a woman when you're dresses like that." He really should give his friend pointers on how to dress to impress.

Singing. Bryce better not think Colby was going to join in any singing here. Raise or no raise he was not about to do anything at this party other than grace them with his presence. "Oh yes, let's go see what's going on. Wouldn't want to miss out on anyone making a fool of themselves." Actually, that he wouldn't mind doing. It would make this meaningless party at least a little fun.

Hmmm, this was just not going to suit well with Bryce if Colby was going to keep this up for the rest of the day. "I'm not here to find a woman." he replied, mellowing down from his cheerful attitude and becoming a bit more serious. Although, he wouldn't mind seeing Sylvie, but, he supposed she was at the school. Could always hope! "I'm here to have a good time. As you should be as well. Give your mind a rest from all the wedding stuff you have going on and relax." Mr. Fun Killer!

Adjusting his jacket, he moved around the almost married man and paused for a moment, seeing something that looked awfully a lot like a gift bag area. Ha! "We'll get you a gift bag, okay? That should cheer you right up!" Grinning, he clapped Colby on the shoulder before moving off into that general direction. Hehe, like Colby had a choice.

Though, you never know what you'll get in a gift bag! Cruddy stuff, or...really awesome stuff. Sometimes both, and then that just makes it even more awesome.

Having come directly from the wand shop Corin entered the tent and looked around. Well heck no wonder the Ministry offices were closed-- everybody that was supposed to be there, was here.

He waited his turn at the security check, trying to console himself with the silent joke that whether it be Muggle world or the Wizarding one, there will always be security check points just as much as there would be lines.

When it finally reached his turn he offered his usual polite, tight-lipped smile "Corineus Vanderbilt...." Pause. The delay at the US Ministry took so long he's nearly forgotten what department he was supposed to have transferred to. Finally he remembers as he took a breath and uttered "... Department of Transportation." He really should take a look at the document again, he has completely forgotten who he was supposed to be reporting to.

Anna quickly took her id and the T-shirt and smiled as the man wished her "Thank You" she said and headed for the party, she didn't want to miss anything.

Watching as his little brother disappeared into he party, Prometheus laughed to himself as he turned his attention to the next partygoer.

"Welcome Mr Vanderbilt," the young man nodded as he searched the list and located the mans name, "I hear an American accent," he smiled, "a recent transfer?" Prometheus had worked closely with a female American Ministry officer, so he was use to the accent, plus having Ben around, he could pick it quite quickly, "Here's a complimentary Lord Borr shirt, a gift from the Guest of Honor! Enjoy!"

Looking at the line, Prometheus noted that the torrent of people was now a slow trickle, it seemed most had already arrived.......did that mean he take this shirt off??

Noah eyed the scene with a hint of displeasure. He did not like to be questioned very much, or checked or...whatever that probe type thing did. He slowly made his way over, clearing his throat and trying to look as innocent as possible - not that he had any reason whatsoever to be guilty. He tried desperately to remember the name of his department, but his mouth had gone dry. Man he was not good at this. And to think he, himself, had belonged to the Magical Law Enforcement just a week or so ago!!

"Noah Ackart, department of product tester. I mean - I'm a product tester. But...uh. Department of International Magical Cooperation." he nodded curtly. That was it. "Oh, and it would be just absolutely dandy to have one of those free t-shirts."

Noah was not very excited for this event, but figured it would be good for him to branch out a little. He had only heard things about Borr - some quite ghastly.

Damon walked towards the Ministry Celebration after his works were done. He was beginning to have a second thought about attending the party after he saw they given all the attendance a ridiculous T-shirt. He hoped that they didn't ask them to wear it on but his hopes was gone after he saw all of the attendance using that T-shirt. Oh great now he can't going back and run because now he already standing in the security line. Shoot!

When it was his turned, he tried really hard to look as plan as possible. He didn't want the guard know that he has a problem with that T-shirt. "Damon Alexander Wayne. Department of Magical Games and Sports." he said

Silver Knight 03-15-2011 09:54 PM

Harley made her way over to the security check in and she approached quietly, looking around curiously to see if she could just slip in and get to her job. She waited patienly and when it was her turn, she stepped forward and said, "Harley Quinn Wulfe. Department of Magical Law Enforcement." She eyed the t-shirt nervously; she really didn't want one...at all.

Dandy?

Prometheus couldn't help but think there was something a little wrong with this one, no one in their right mind would think that those hideous blue shirts were dandy. "Nice to have you with us, Mr Ackart!" The young man smiled nonetheless, "Here's your free shirt, and don't forget to pick up a gift bag from the rear section of the tent." He seemed like someone who would enjoy more free stuff, however Prometheus didn't even know what was in them.

"Welcome Damon" Prometheus smiled, even though the fleeting novelity of this position had now completely worn off. The young man wanted to actually see what was happening inside, he could hear voices, and even some singing, but it seemed he was destined to have to read the report of the proceedings, "This is for you," he passed over the shirt, "Enjoy!"

Evander must have been happy, it seemed nearly all of the Level Two staff were in attendance, and here was one more, "Nice to see you Harley!" Her face had been missing from the office, due to her rather important task, "I hope all is well with you," he wasn't so much asking after her health and wellbeing, more so about the mission she was on, "Your Lord Borr shirt, have a nice time and I will see you round!"


Was it over yet? Could he change? Just let the man change!

ThePastelBookworm 03-16-2011 12:21 AM

Nero walk up Hello my name is Nero James Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures in the spirit divison.He just stood there and waited to be called to.

Katherine slowly made her way towards the Ministry Celebration. She wasn't really excited to come to this party. She never met Lord Borr personally but yeah maybe she could met familiar faces in this party. She stopped in the line and waited for her turn. Thank Merlin that the line wasn't really long like she thought it would be. Hmm..Maybe mist of the Ministry Magic employees already inside. Yeah. That could be it. "Katherine Salvatore. Department of Mysteries." she said showing her Ministry of Magic employee ID once it was her turn.

Lislchen 03-16-2011 11:08 AM

Tegz and/or any other MLE-person for now
 
With a rather shocked expression plastered across her face Alysson was making her way BACK to the Security Check In in search for Evander. That was just...that had been...whoa. She wasn't too sure if she should feel disgusted or pity for Lilyan. Probably both. Yes, even though, she didn't seem to mind it that much.

Now, where was her Department Head?! Calling towards the nearest of her colleagues Alysson waved slightly to get their attention, "Hey! Where is Evander?! We need him. Like now!" We, as in her and Damien...and everybody else at the party really. Her hazel eyes flickered back to where Damien was still standing, talking to the American Ministry person.

Who was walking away now. Okay...?

Destiny 03-16-2011 12:42 PM

We. Are. Late.
 
Sullivan was late and he knew it. And usually it was his fault, but not this time. It wasn't like he was in a rush anyway, but a certain Hag woman had gotten a hold of him and gotten a hold of a few crystal balls. Sometimes you just have to teach creature women a lesson. A tipped over cart did just that.

And it helped Sully escape.

Dark sunglasses pressed up against his face, he arrived at the security check in, his eyes automatically landing on those Borr shirts. Really? REALLY?

Grumbling to himself, he took a few steps closer to the nearest available..check in person. "Sullivan Merivel."

He was on the list.

As Ben handed the ID back to the man, he said, "Of course! The entire ministry is here." That was obvious. The Detective marked down Jaxton's name before handing over a t-shirt and adding, "Have a good time." Fake smile... fake smile...

Jaxton nodded with a small, slow smile and then looked around some more... Silently, he wished, for the first time ever, that the ground would open up and swallow him whole... It would just make this day so much easier. Seriously.

"Thank you." JT said, taking his ID back. "Hope you aren't too busy, and I'll see you around the Ministry... I'm sure." He gave the man another small smile and then turned and entered the party; the t-shirt still in his hand.

"Oh, right," he said. He had forgotten he had one in his pocket. Rummaging in the pocket of his robes, Aidon extracted the tiny ID card and held it up to the security guy. "Here you go." he smiled.

Ben took a look at the ID. Everything checked out. Marking down Aiden, Ben added "Everything's good." Looking up, "Have a nice time." He handed the man a free t-shirt.

Still, he begrudgingly took the sheath from his leg and held it out. The sheath was heavily warded for some reason, and yet the dagger within still reeked of eeriness.

"A man killed my wife with this dagger. The same one that killed my son, and injured my best friend. I used it to return the favor when he tried to kill me. I often forget I have it, and I do apologize for that. It's just... a reminder, to me. Of the time I failed to protect my family. That I should never let my guard down, lest I fail to protect whom I have left that is dear to me."

Oh boy.... Drama. Ben didn't think to make any comments to himself because he could relate to this man- having flashbacks of his mother dying in front of him. The New Yorker's face stayed calm and sad. And when the man finished his story, Ben held the dagger. "Just go on in... And take a t-shirt..." Ben just held out a shirt and looked at the man.

Another mysteries person. This one being less shifty. Ben took a look at the ID and wrote down Katherine's name. Holding out a t-shirt, he said, "Have a nice time Ms. Salvatore."

Huh.... This person seemed rushed and anxious... And as he approached Ben, he could tell he really wanted... or had to be there. AH, well. People are crazy.

"Can I see your ID, please, Mr. Merivel?"

Ben was checking people in when suddenly there was a call for Evander. The woman was Alysson Zookara! The detective stopped checking people in immediately and turned his attention towards her colleague. "Alysson, what's wrong???" After his question he turned towards Evander, who was about 30 feet away. "Evander!!!!" Ben called. Anyone calling for the department head of the MLE needed help.

Ah, just perfect. Well, he got away with having had a dark weapon on him, even if he had to hand it over, so that was all well. Though, that still meant he had to join in the 'celebration.' "Thank you," he said softly, eying the dagger with some remorse, before taking one of the blasted shirts and making his way in.

Jason Potter Weasley 03-16-2011 11:10 PM

For anyone
 
J.J. Starr is hoping to meet new friends from the Ministry. Joe jon Montcenaggio knew ones from the International Co-operation Department. They are not here.

"Darling, have you decided if you are staying at the ministry or starting your career in sports again" Katalin asked her husband.

Noah looked down at the t-shirt that was now in his hands. He unfolded it. WOOOAAAH that was a whole lot of man. That was Borr, all right.

"Err - " he started, but forced a smile instead. "Thanks. Yeah, I will."

What would the goody bags be filled with? He shuddered to think, but was interested in the idea nonetheless. He would just give it all to Alice. Mwahahahahahahaha!!!

Having had slipped away to check the perimeter, and do a bit of his own investigation, Van returned quietly and stood for a short moment before he heard his name a few times and in that urgent sort of way.

So he headed over, and glanced between Ben and Alysson expectantly.

... ye-es?

Ben opened his mouth to speak- He's usually on top of things. But because of this stupid party and these dumb t-shirts he actually had no idea what was going on.... So, he closed his mouth and looked through his sunglasses at Alyssa.

Rachel made her way through the huge crowd of people and took her position at the end of the queue for Security Checking. Apparebtly, they were all supposed to get a T-shirt.

`Christ, what am I supposed to do with a T-shirt at a party like this? Weird.'

`Rachel Rodriguez, Department of Magical Games and Sports', she said, and waited to be `checked' so that she could finally get into the party.

She had no idea what she was going to do. She hadn't even anticipated meeting a friend or colleaugue. She wanted to attend the party only because she didn't want to stay home all alone.

Waiting in line for her turn, she heard someone address her from behind. She turned and saw a guy, just about a few years older than her. She smiled and held out her hand.
`Hey! I'm Rachel. Even I work for the Public Relations division in the Quidditch Department. ' Then she turned to look at the man's wife and smiled at her.

Silver Knight 03-17-2011 06:16 PM

Harley smiled slightly at the sight of a familiar face at the check-in security desk. "Hello, Sir," she said. She nodded at his words. "Getting there, Sir." She knew what he was referring too, and hoped she wouldn't let him down. D'Isigny was a very slippery fellow, and she didn't trust him one bit. She had a bad feeling about the whole case; she'd been following him for a while and little had been revealed. "I hope your day treats you well." She took her shirt sadly. "Just what I always wanted." She sighed heavily and tucked it under her arm. She nodded with a smile to Evander. "Thank you, Sir. See you later, Sir." She turned and walked out into the main street, looking for anything to do and pass time. She vaguely heard someone yelling for Evander, and she glanced over behind her to see. She hung back a little on the side by the check in desk, wondering if she could be of assistance or anything. She thought that maybe even hanging out around there might be good anyway; she hated parties, but she didn't mind making she knew exactly when and with whom certain people showed up.
