But from the spread that she saw there, she would have been save with just getting her usual morning beverage.

Setting her beverage and bag a top the nearest table, she turned to their new head. "Nice spread, sir."

It was rather nice and at least it was a step above what their last head gave them. Seriously, she still had that dreadful shirt in the back of closet in a box of things that would never see the light of day....EVER!

"Impressive spread." The woman commented with a smile as she walked past the food laid out on the table and reached out for a cup and proceeded to make herself - along with anyone else who might want any - a cup of tea.

Then she took a seat beside a few of her colleagues and waited patiently. She was pretty sure they had a number of things to discuss.

After carefully leaving everything he had been working with in a total mess, the employee started walking slowly towards the dining area. What he needed was a coffee. A strong one. Ah yes… a cup of strong, black coffee was all he needed.

‘Good day’, Mark said politely as he noticed two of his colleagues already arrived there. Although he struggled to recognize them, he couldn’t tell if he had met them before. Mhmm… probably not, he decided as he fixed himself a cup of coffee. He unfolded his copy of the newspaper and started reading the first article, even though he pretty much didn't care what it was about.


Corin steps back as he checks the spread one more time when he hears a voice approach him. “Well thank you.” he replies, turning to the two women who came in just as he was moving their impromptu meeting out of the mess that used to be their Work Area. Then spotted a young man who seemed to have the insight to check this room after finding what they’ve all seen outside “I’m Corin Vanderbilt, the new Department Head.” he introduced himself to these three, offering to shake each of their hand. He did manage to catch the blonde woman’s name just before he made a break for the coffee shop--Ms Black? Yes, but he missed her first name.


SPOILER!!: Sherman

He had barely been able to make it to the dining area in time to watch the others arrive with bags and boxes full of goodies to share. The elderly sir felt terrible about not being able to contribute his share, not to mention the trouble he, the only handicapped worker, was causing. A guilty feeling growing in the pit of his stomach, Sherman Clark made history when he decided to share his doughnuts for the first time. Ever. Pulling the small package out of the sack in the back of his wheelchair, the Time Specialist proceeded to place his snack on the table, but there wasn't any free space. Wheeling over to the new Head, and still attempting not to run over his toes, Sherman wiggled the doughnuts into Vanderbuilt's hand as he reluctantly said, "For you." Oh well, he thought to himself. You can have Alice make you a few more. Yes, when she was back from SCHOOL. Humph.

The old man swiveled over to the table, where he made himself a cup of hot coffee with cream and honey. Yummm. Feeling content, Sherman parked his chair next to some of his co-workers and stared at Vanderbilt. There had to be something Corin wanted to discuss, an announcement to make or whatnot. Unless he really, really had wanted a get-to-know-you session. Which would be kind of awkward.


Then the elder staffer wheeled through the door. “Please come in.” the fellow silverish-haired man waved, inviting him over. The elder chap seemed overtly shy to him, different from the other one with a cane. He began to wonder if it had anything to do with his condition. A feeling of insecurity? Hmm perhaps that’s something he would try to decipher from the other gent in this meeting.
He just managed to slide his foot out of the way of the wheels when he reached out for the bag being offered. For him? He peered into the bag and saw the donuts within “Thank you.” he replied. “Do you mind me sharing this with the rest of the staff?” Because that’s just how he rolls-- he likes to share.

He gestured to the spread at the center of the kitchen “Please don’t be shy, help yourselves. I realize that some of you may not have had breakfast yet or may have had one much earlier.” and they would likely be hungry at this point, since its around the time of the first schedule coffee breaks. As he watched the staff go over their spread he added “Please make yourselves comfortable, and I’ll be back in a bit . I need to grab a few things from my office.”

He returns about a few minutes later, levitating a file basket stacked with folders that is their employee profiles. As he waited for the employees to settle down Corin quickly leafs through them, trying to match the photograph to the faces in front of him.
