| ♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<# Yeah, Gabby wasn't paying attention to anyone that walked in - well, besides Milo who she was tempted to throw a bagel at. He was lucky that she resisted, sending him a scowl instead... because Lynley was really upsetting her right now. "You know that I have a hard time getting around lately. You know that I'm really sore after last night. And you know what my cravings are." Instead of considering her friend, she had purposely ignored all that. Gabby knew that her boss was bitter about the pregnancy but she had expected more. This hatred of her husband and the baby was utterly ridiculous. |

| do you realize how many superheroes you have on staff Kate? LOL! Ability is nothing without Opportunity | | Creativity is Intelligence having FUN Vickers got a bit held back, having to move many things and rearrange many others. His desk was now closer to where the Apparition classroom was. And even that he had to do some preliminary checks. So yes busy morning.
But he did finally get around to joining the festivities in the break room. "Hello Lynley, everybody." the Ravenerd greeted his co-workers in his usual soft-spoken manner. Oh there were new ones too "Hello." he greeted them kindly in turn, specially to the American (Archer) who was fussing about his banner. Fellow American here too. Not quite as outspoken as him though.
Right, tea. And maybe some of those cheese crackers.

| Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium He was not late. He wasn't. Evan had been in his work space fixing the area up before the mornings gathering. Somethings had needed to be updated really. Newer photos for one thing, from the holiday break of his kids and the wife. Not to mention he might've cast a few well placed charms on his own area to make things more relaxed and comfortable for himself. However he was now not late.
Running a hand through his dark hair Evan took notice to those already in the break room his eyes instantly landing on the boss lady. "Hello Lynley, nice little spread you got going on here," he nodded his head towards the foods and drink. Which is exactly where he was heading. Grabbing himself a plate he selected a bagel which he topped with a bit of cream cheese, a few carrot sticks and a hot cup of coffee. With his food and drink in hand he sat himself down on one of the empty chairs before greeting everyone else with a simple nod of her head.
Now what was going to be happening this year for them all?

Sigh.
Lynley rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Gabby, I'm sorry I wasn't catering to your specific cravings when I planned a department gathering. Forgive me," Merlin, she was too tired to even be sarcastic. But seriously, if Gabby thought she would do that...no.
Lol, no. Vickers had arrived. And Evan. "THANK YOU, EVAN," she said pointedly, AGAIN glaring in the direction of the complainers. "ANYWAYS. Hello everyone. This isn't a meeting, so I'm not going to talk too much. But Hello and welcome and enjoy the food....you know, before going back to work!" Because that was expected at some point, you know. "Are any of you allergic to anything?" she thought she'd ask. It'd be nice to have in the records.

| Hai. We are here... You know, if anyone cares ^_^ YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers It had been a long night but that was mostly because Chloe had been up for most of it thinking about the orientation party and how she'd reacted with her "friend". It wasn't her fault that he lacked complete and utter common sense when it came to parties and first impressions. However her reaction probably was a bit on the extreme side and she should probably learn to curb it, but whatever. She was only trying to help even if she did do it in a rather elitist way.
But she did have to work with him, for now, so she probably should make an effort to not be such a know-it-all and so reactive.
Standing a ways from people in the break room, because the ginger wasn't sure she trusted her exhausted self around people, Chloe did happen to hear one comment from her boss about allergies . . . No she didn't have any but she did have restrictions ..."I don't eat meat," Chloe commented quietly to Lynley. It was kind of important cause if she ever served them sandwiches at a meeting, she needed a vegetarian option...

| Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium Evan had taken a bite from his bagel and cream cheese so was unable to answer Lynley right away. After chewing and swallowing his mouthful of food he wiped at his mouth with a napkin. True he had twin babies back at home but that didn't mean he had turned into a slob or anything like that. "Allergic to anything? No, not that I'm aware of anyhow," he answered with a small shrug of his shoulders. If he was allergic to anything he hoped he would know by now seeing he was in his late thirty's already. Did this have something to do with the food or was it more leaned towards what there were going to be doing this year?

| ♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<# The glaring was real. See, Lynley? You aren't the only one who can do that. "If someone doesn't bring me ice cream and pickles I'm getting Archer to. Do you want me to do that?" Her boss hated him, so Gabby knew that the idea of him coming would not be appealing. Especially when he would want words with Lynley. On top of that, she mostly wanted to see her husband and in the process get some food and a back massage. Stupid orientation had her standing for longer than usual and her back was painful as a result.
With some difficulty, she managed to get herself seated. "Hello, Evan." Gabby actually liked him because he was competent and respectful. A gentleman. |

| Ability is nothing without Opportunity | | Creativity is Intelligence having FUN Chloe came in and the Ravenerd gave her his usual shy wave with a cheese cracker. There was probably a few more of the food that he could try, and he was eyeing the pizza, but was slightly concerned about the toppings.
Oh and look at that, Lynley asked about the one thing he was investigating the pizza for "Uhm... I'm allergic to fresh tomatoes." he replied. "If they are tomatoes that have gone through some processing like canned tomatoes, I seem to be ok." So far anyway. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Periwinkle Evie Paeng Slytherin Fifth Year | Bre Bear | Asherine | Whisper | Kemmy | Raeney | Madyra | Bumble Bee The newbie of this department just looked around at everyone and gave a nod to the department head to show that he had heard what she had said. "If you don't mind could you please call me Teddy." Theodore was way too proper for him, maybe in twenty years he would embrace his name.
This wasn't a meeting? What were they doing here to begin with? How was this not a meeting? Did they even have anything going on today or was this some sort of welcome party? Theodore looked at the spread of food. He wasn't really hungry. It could just be his nerves at the given moment. Teddy's head turned a woman that was talking about ice cream and pickles (Gabby), he didn't know that people were allowed to talk to their boss like that.
Theodore took a seat and looked back at Gabby and decided to say something to her. "You know if you really want ice cream and pickles" which sounded very gross. "then maybe you should have brought some with you instead of being rude to our department head." He wasn't sure if this was a normal attitude for this woman but he didn't want to listen to anyone complaining about food not being here.

| Yay, Hamlet! • Cathopper • Disney Fanatic • I was normal once... Milo slightly grinned when Lynley showed appreciate for his appreciation of the food. See? If you were nice to people, it paid off, especially when they looked like they put a lot of work into the presentation. He nibbled on his cracker some more as the room began to fill up with more of his coworkers, but SOMEONE was still complaining about the ice cream and pickles...
.... and there went Teddy making a remark that was sure to get his head bitten off. His wife has been pregnant three times, so he knew how pregnant woman acted. "I'm allergic to grapes," he answered his bosses question while he attempted to ignore what was happening around him. "I also don't eat meat." He looked over at the girl (Chloe) since she had also stated that she did not eat meat either. TWO PEAS IN A POD, they were!
Okay, now he had to address Gabby, but he was going to do it in a polite way. "Would you like me to go get you some ice cream and pickles?" If going down to the cafeteria could stop her from complaining, he would do it for the sake of the department.

| ♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<# LOL!
Was this guy for real?
Gabby turned her attention to the man who started talking to her rudely. He didn't know her. He didn't know her life. "Well, first of all Lynley can take it. We are good friends and that isn't going to change." Honestly even if she felt that she had been forgotten about she loved her boss and wouldn't do anything that would seriously jeopardize their friendship. "Secondly she knows full well what I crave. You clearly aren't a father because if you were a parent you would know darn well how cravings can be. When they are in your head that is all you want." See? She was trying to be NICE even though she wanted to smack that man in the face and call him an idiotic peasant.
Lucky for him he was new. "That would be appreciated," she added to Milo. See, HE was a dad so he knew just how bad cravings could be. |

| omg y'all are so fun. *squishes* A Poop * k8 * Chloe was here. Noted, Chloe. No meat for you, child. Lynley often worried about people who didn't eat any meat because HOW did they get their protein? However, it wasn't her place to tell this to Chloe at the moment. She nodded at her, though. Evan wasn't allergic to anything? Check.
But Gabby....really. Lynley stared at her for a minute and sighed. "If you really want Archer to go get you some, that's fine--" because no, Lynley was NOT offering to do with when she had a department to run, and she also refused to cater to JUST Gabby when she had an entire department to cater for! Merlin. But at this moment, she didn't even care if she saw Archer. She just wanted Gabby to stop complaining and be happy.
And here was Vickers, claiming to be ONLY allergic to fresh tomatoes? How did that even work? DID that make sense? Lynley didn't know! She wasn't an allergies expert! But she merely raised an eyebrow at him and then nodded.
OH LORD.
WHAT EVEN, NEW GUY?
Lynley shot him a look.....because Gabby was HEAVILY pregnant. But he WAS .....taking up for her. So. Hmmm. "Well, Teddy," she began. "Thank you for that," she said softly. "But it's really okay. I can handle it--" she gestured at Gabby. "Maybe you should go home for the day, dear? You seem really...touchy." AKA, Lynley was too annoyed to deal with her, and yes, maybe she SHOULD go home. "Oh, Milo..." What a sweetheart.
But she huffed and threw her hands in the air. Because this was all ridiculous and it was all so overwhelming and Lynley had LITERALLY for once in her life tried her best to please her employees--but NO. "I don't care WHAT you people all do--I'll be in my BLOODY OFFICE. Get back to work!"
And..... SLAM
Lynley was now......in her office.

| Mention of Milo. ^_^ ♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<# Well, okay then.
Gabby watched as Lynley stormed out, blinking. Seemed that they would be having a little talk before she headed home for the day. Usually she wasn't one to want to leave work, but if there wasn't much for her to do she would gladly take the opportunity. Right now she was too pregnant to care. She would just get her husband to take her home at lunch time.
Slowly and with some difficulty - because hello, back pain - she got up from her seat. "Still need that ice cream, Milo." Just because she was heading out didn't mean that she wouldn't still want it. She wanted that ice cream and pickles with every fiber of her being. |

| Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium Wasn't this supposed to be some form or a meeting or something? Yet here they were all speaking of different allergies, not being meat eaters and cravings of ice cream and pickles. Evan picked up his coffee taking several sips before setting it down once more at his feet. His eyes shifted to Gabby and he nodded at the very much pregnant women, choosing to ignore her behavior on ice cream demanding. He had been there himself with his wife and he knew better then to deny craving foods to a pregnant lady. "If that little one of yours doesn't grow up to be addicted to ice cream I'll be seriously shocked," he teased giving her a light grin trying to lighten up the mood a little. Whether others in the department were parents or not he didn't fully know for sure nor did he care much even but that man Milo got a nod of approval from him. It was clear that guy was a father and knew how to handle the situation. If he hadn't offered to get the ice cream and pickles chances were Evan would've. It wasn't a big deal but at least he could finish his bagel before heading back to work. Yes Lynley, don't worry. He would be heading back to work very shortly.

| ANYONE? SHoot me a VM if you pick it up! This was it.
THE place to be. The place where Eva went to avoid work and responsibility. The break room. THE SPOT TO BE! BOOM!
Okay, it was still work, but at least it wasn't that shared office space where everyone could see what she was doing and judge her. She KNEW they were judging her. Knew. It. Or she, at least, had an inkling that it was happening.
It totally wasn't her fault that she had to ask people to talk into her good ear, ya know. You would think that these people would have a little more understanding to her condition. Hmph.
Considering that, at that moment, she was alone in the break room (WHAT LUCK!), Eva kicked off her shoes, grabbed a scone, and climbed onto a nearby table and parked her rear right in the middle of it. Would people mistake her for a lamp? She could be a lamp! She was bright! HAHAHAHAHAHA! |

He really wasn't feeling work today so when not really caring about work he decided to o hide in another level. He had his paper and his coffee. He could say he was out with immigration stuff if anyone asked why he wasn't at his desk. It was a good possibility so a good excuse in his eyes.
Making his way to the sixth floor he looked around the offices before slipping into the break room. He could pass for transportation today, couldn't he? He was going to try. Most people really didn't know him still and as long as he stayed away from Mariel's floor he could probably get away with most of the other levels just assuming he was part of their department.
Opening the door he looked right at the table that a woman was sitting on. Giving a small nod he just figured this was something maybe all of them did so he wouldn't ask any questions. He just got up on the other table and opened his paper.

| You two. :) ♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<# Gabby was feeling hungry and when she was hungry one of the places that she went to was the break room. Would have preferred heading over to Floreans to get an ice cream cone, but seemed like Lynley wasn't a huge fan if it. Judging by what had happened during the last pregnancy. Maybe later she would ask to go, but for the moment she was supposed to be working.
More like eating cookies and anything else that she could find in the break room.
Stepping inside, she almost did a double take. There was a woman sitting on a table??? And someone who didn't work in the department reading a newspaper?? Okaaaaay then. Gabby blinked and then set about getting herself something to eat. Hello a bunch of cookies that she wasn't going to share with other people. Oh, and there was someone's can of pop. That was hers now as well because she really needed a bit of a caffeine boost but wasn't drinking coffee anymore.
Smiling, she found herself a seat and began to dig in. |

Pregnant Lady Something. Eva filed that one away for later. Hehe. A small giggle might have escaped the woman as she watched her gather cookies like the third Wizarding War was approaching and all cookies were endangered. That was not a thing. Nope. Unless it was.
Whatever.
"Hey, can I have that paper when you're done with it? I like to cut holes out so I can watch people and they don't realize it." Totally normal. |

"Hey, can I have that paper when you're done with it? I like to cut holes out so I can watch people and they don't realize it." Totally normal. Well the other woman that walked in just wasn't as cool now was she? Did she not get the memo? "You know there was a note that came through all departments that it was against regulation to sit on chairs anymore. All employees should sit on tables starting immediately." Though he didn't know if she should be climbing a table in her condition. He glanced at the first woman who was here before turning back to the one with food. "Any of those cookies for sharing or is the baby going to eat them all?" He really wasn't meaning it to be insensitive just wanted a cookie. Slipping through his paper a bit more Warner was just about to folded when he heard the first talk about it. "Now why didn't I think of that?" It would have been a fantastic idea. Folding it up he passed it over. "You'll have to tell me what you observe after it's done."
He figured it had to be something interesting.

What was going on here?
Had she stepped into some bizarro world? Were people going insane around her? Gabby was confused and had little patience for this stupidity. She raised her brow at the talk about cutting holes into the newspaper because that wasn't weird at all. "Excuse me, but who are you?" Not meaning to sound rude - though actually she didn't really care if she DID. He didn't work in this department and Lynley probably wouldn't approve of people sitting ON the tables. "I was planning to eat all the cookies, yes. Growing another human being makes you hungry." He wasn't her husband so he wasn't getting any. |

| New TL LOL Also, open for anyone! A subdued Eva was not a sight most of her coworkers would ever behold. BUT today she was subdued.
Totally.
No particular reason why though, other than maybe she was a bit exhausted. Meh.
But she entered the break room with her usual smile in face as she headed toward a table. Her usual table. Only... at the last moment she made a beeline for the table in the corner. Could she be alone? Maybe? |

Could she be alone? Maybe? Lynley had been cooped up in her office all day, figuring things out for Gid...for some portkey licenses...ugh. She needed a break and some coffee, so she dipped into the break room for some of that BROWN LIFE GIVER when she saw one of her employees, Eva. "Eva Cropper!" Lynley didn't sound chipper, but she sounded awake. That was enough. "How are you today?" she asked with genuine interest. She noticed the woman was in the corner, and she suddenly made a...face. "Did I disturb you?" Not that Lynley cared, but she should maybe acknowledge that. It was the polite thing to do.

"Did I disturb you?" Not that Lynley cared, but she should maybe acknowledge that. It was the polite thing to do. Of course she couldn't be alone. Nope. NOPE. There was always someone around this place. Allllways.
And this person was loud, her boss, and did she mention LOUD? Which wasn't usually an issue, but she happened to be nearer to her GOOD ear. So yeah. LOUD. Merlin on melba toast! Eva glanced up at Lynley and gave a small smile.Which probably mangled on her face. At least it felt that way.
"I'm well. And you?" They were keeping up false niceties, right? Because Eva wasn't fine and she was POSITIVE that Lynley couldn't care any less than she already did. The older brunette had picked up on that very quickly. Lynley was a bit witchy.
But that didn't bother her, really. She was typically pretty oblivious to these things, honestly.
"Yeah, kind of did disturb me, but that's alright. Happens around here, doesn't it?" she commented before getting up to work on a cup of tea. |

"I'm good," she said with a nod, and she leaned back in her chair to get comfortable. "I needed a bloody break from that office." She sipped her coffee. "Might go check on Wyatt in the daycare in a minute..." because it was around that time of the day where she missed her adopted son. Granted, she had known him for over a year now. She hadn't HAD him for a year yet...but...she was much more attached to the little guy than she had anticipated. And he to her, too. "Well, I apologize for that," she said simply. "But this level seems to not know the definition of NOT disturbing people..." if you thought about it, wasn't the whole point of transportation to disturb others? Heh.

"Well, I apologize for that," she said simply. "But this level seems to not know the definition of NOT disturbing people..." if you thought about it, wasn't the whole point of transportation to disturb others? Heh. So, Eva was out of sorts after a conversation with her sister. That wrench. She was the happy little home maker... and Eva was NOT. In fact that was something that had been bothering her for some time now, really. Single, spinster, miserable... and loads of other labels. It was exhausting trying to date at her age, too. Men either had ex wives and kids and too many things going on, or they seemed to disappear after a couple dates. It was depressing, this fact. She was old and going to die alone. Surely.
The only thing that dragged Eva from her pity party was the mention of daycare and visiting. Aww that was nice. "That sounds lovely. How old is he?" It was no secret that not only was the older lady a bit out of touch from time to time, she also tended to forget things. A lot of things. BUT it was nothing to do with her age. Nope. She had always been the forgetful sort.
"No need to apologize," she said with a shrug of her slender shoulders. "I have been guilty of it myself. Especially since I can't hear from the other ear properly." Which was also not a secret. "Fancy something something to eat?" she asked suddenly? Why not eat her feelings today? |
