 Meeting has STARTED! Next post in approx 14 hours ½ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ½ Team House Elf
Wow was most definitely the right word, Anna was on the money with that one. She couldn't fathom being near the water with its horrendous stench. No, the underground was far more pleasant than any other decrepit abandoned location. Blaise's Boss Lady remark amused her greatly, though she had to admit she preferred Vic's version best. Scary Boss Lady had a nicer ring to it.
Emily peered up as Genevieve joined their ranks, engaging them with rat talk. She didn't comment, they were around and about, not an issue. Her observation of said rat was amusing though, and she couldn't help but spare a glance at Vic - and more to the point, his head. Impressive rat. Emily averted her gaze to her folder so as to hide a smirk, but quickly looked back up again. Genevieve could always be replied on for a coffee run, and while she didn't expect it, it was appreciated. This however, was not. "And you couldn't kick the rat? hex it? jinx it? curse it?" Her eyebrows were raised in mild alarm. Sacrificing perfectly good coffee to a rat was perhaps the most ridiculous thing she'd heard, so Emily concluded it was a joke. A joke. "Branxton, you'll achieve little by asking, actions speak louder than words. But by all means, take a desk and it's yours."
But alas, finally the stragglers were emerging from the shadows, literally. Emily didn't have the patience to wait any longer, late comers would experience the consequences.
...
Panning the area, eyes on everyone, Emily began. "Alrighty, let's kick things off because I know we all have better things to be doing," or at least she did, and they could make themselves useful. Mmhhmm.
"First of all welcome back, I know this is a drastic change but I assure you it is temporary, we'll be back in the Ministry in no time..." perhaps wishful thinking, there was no knowing how long it would take, but they would be getting back in. "Please welcome to the department Octavia Theodori for Wizengamot, Johnathan Walker... the second...," seriously, the second? "for Secuirty," a glance to the man with Escalante. "Also please welcome back Blaise Carlisle who has kindly taken up the post of Head of Security, Blaise apologies but it seems one of your officers has gotten lost on their way here.." such a shame, though McQueen would be in for a treat when he finally made it. If he finally made it. What amused her most was how candidates always built themselves up to be promising, and this was short of that. "I trust you all to look out for one another, we're all back at square one here, so please exercise some patience and work collaboratively where necessary."
She wanted to just launch into her actual agenda items, but perhaps it would be prudent to settle any questions they had first. Emily moved the folder from her lap to the flat of the desk, her palms resting on the edge. "Before I continue, are there any questions, urgent or otherwise?" Speak now or forever hold your peace... until after the meeting.
Yes? No?
