Though this time, he was prepared, his own new bowling shoes on his feet.

What's this? he thought as he read the sign on the counter baring the shirts. Blindly (in the sense of not knowing who your teammates would be ahead of time anyway) picking teams? Well, that certainly threw an interesting twist into everything. Deciding was a no-brainer for the former Gryffindor head boy and he quickly pulled on a red shirt over his own casual black sweater.

Also, he would definitely be avoiding the greasy food.

Greasy food was definitely NOT Chloe Adara's forte. Neither was bowling, for that matter. But apparently after a decade at the Ministry - Merlin, time FLEW after Hogwarts - it was expected for her to be there. What did the Ministry even offer her for ten years of service? Bowling? The ability to show up wearing casual attire? Can she continue the casual attire on Fridays? A substantial pay raise? Private school tuition for her child? The only good thing actually was the red shirts, because even after graduating Hogwarts ten and a half years ago, Chloe was forever and always a Gryffindor.

Pulling on the red shirt over her own clothes, the ginger made her way over towards some other teammates, turning up her nose at the burgers. Perhaps if she was desperate she'd go for a meatless panini or a grilled cheese sandwich, the latter of which she'd grown used to since that was a staple in a six year old's diet. No other transportation employees were here yet, unless there were some new hires here she didn't know of?

"You any good at this?" she gestured at the young wizard and the alley.

Purple was a color she was drawn to, so it wasn't hard for her to settle on that one, the team name causing her laugh out loud. Clever. Now all she needed was some teammates and the fun could begin. She'd grab herself a drink while she waited.

Walking towards the counter she grabbed the purple t-shirt and traded out her shoes for the typical bowling shoes. Sigh. Mai wondered if she would see anyone she knew or get to meet anyone from her department here. Either way, doesn't hurt to meet new people and make connections.

Conley’s shoes were a bit on the retro side, which he had always liked, and even better, they went with his chosen shirt. It felt odd being at a work function in a t-shirt and jeans, but he wasn’t about to bowl in a suit. He just wished this was a muggle bowling alley – because then he would have been able to use a normal bowling ball…

Conley gave his boss a wave as he swept by, chatting amiably with most of the workers. There didn’t appear to be many department heads or people from DIMC here, but it was still early. He felt a little lonely and wished briefly that his boyfriend was here, but he knew (all too well) that Sachin was busy working. It was perhaps, the fact that they had spent the last week together that was making him lonely. However, it was time to but on his work face and get out and mingle.

Helping himself to a butterbeer, Conley wandered trying to decide what pair of lanes to join. His understanding was that he didn’t need to share a lane with other people on his ‘team,’ but maybe he’d find one or two to chat with for a few minutes. Instead he found one of his new hires. ”Miss Ainsley,” he said chipperly walking nearby, shoes still gripped in his hand. ”Glad you could make it. Bowl often?”

UM. YES. Bowling. This was WAY better than any formal function and especially at sight of the FRIED PICKLES. It was as if someone finally decided to cater to the Southern American Cuisine that she actually missed most about the United States. Taking a plate and a burger along with some fried pickles, she popped one into her mouth just as she saw her boss. Oops. Quickly swallowing the pickle, she grinned at him. "Mr Phora, hi, good break?" Wait. Was that?? Oh she'd met her last year at the World Cup. "Mai!!!!! You're an employee here now!! Oh don't tell me... are you ... International Cooperation too?!?" Finally, she'd have a sorta friend here. She assumed so, since Conley was talking to her. Other than Arabella, at least. She cracked a smile at the purple shirt. Right, she should get one of those and Guttergroit was obviously the team she was meant for.

She gave a small smile at the other girl (Mariana) with the purple shirt. "Hey there, I'm Louise. Looks like we'll be on the groit team together." Cause no gutters for her, hopefully and groit was just too funny of a name. Also, no she hadn't picked up a team shirt yet, but obviously she was going to be since that was the team Mai was on....
