"Thanks for coming everyone. We'll give it a few more minutes for others to arrive before we start." If there were going to be others that is.

Activities? No, actually she had not been told of any activities, in fact the memo was quite vague. Perhaps intentionally so. But at any rate Mariel had come directly from work wearing the type of clothing she did every day since starting with the Ministry. If they were required to wear something different than she should have been informed. And certainly he wasn't implying that she remove her shoes. Not when there was garbage on the floor. "I'm certain it won't be an issue," she said with a polite smile before moving on and away from the man, not worried about anything else until they actually started. She was a witch after all and her shoes were charmed for comfort, of course. She could do whatever Muggle activities they had in store and look fantastic doing them.

"In some ways..." he mused, catching the hint of humor in the woman's tone and appearance. "I'll wait until I've made it around all the new locations before I judge if it could be worse."

Oh good. Simon didn't bring up any awkwardness which, truthfully, Mariel would have been prepared for, but it did make thing easier all the same. She had tried to make light of any conversation they'd have and it seemed the man had picked up on it. "Oh..?" she began, an amused smile present on her face. She was trying to find just a little humor in all this though it did not please her in the slightest. But it did make things more manageable. "Are you planning on visiting Games and Sports any time soon? I can assure you our airplane hangar isn't much better, but at least we've cleaned up the floor." It was dreadful, really, but if she couldn't laugh about it, it would probably make her crazy. Didn't mean she loved the situation though.

SPOILER!!: Cresswell, Victoria, and Jazzy!

All jokes aside, it had to be the saddest environment known to man. Anthony had spent a majority of it avoiding gazes; something that was much more appropriate than the scowl he'd wanted to toss out.

Adjusting the badge he'd just been given at reception, he slowly strode into the gymnasium, removing his fedora in the process. The group already gathered was nice sized and he felt momentarily pleased at their impending success. Kudos to these two....But also, who was this Oliver Jenkins he'd been hearing so much about? Oliver Jenkins had been listed on the announcement along with his fellow department heads. So, naturally, Anthony was curious. He tried to pick the man out of the crowd, but in his searching, he'd spied a familiar face and paused. He was chuckling, too.

Yes, it was Mrs. Sassy-Blonde-Pants from Games. Victoria, her name was. Noting that she wasn't alone (and disregarding it in the next moment), he moved closer, casually swinging his arm up and over her shoulder. Yes, it had only been allowed to rest for a moment; just long enough for him to semi-hug her in greeting before then falling away. "Mrs. Victoria. Nice to see you again."

...And her cohort...Well, she's wasn't really a cohort at all. Anthony tilted his head to address the woman kindly; her face also familiar. "You recently took over Games, yes? It's Mariel...?" He was grinning because he knew this was exactly the case. "My name's Anthony Cresswell, Department of Specialties head."...His hand casually hovered out towards hers to shake.

He hugged the wall a bit as he drew deeper into the gymnasium. There were at least a few familiar faces there such as Miss Pennifold who he'd met in the atrium when he'd first gotten hired at the Ministry and of course Miss Jarvey who it looked like was having a word with one of the other Ministry Employers, or the other way around? Anyway, waves for Miss Jarvey. Hiii!

Honestly her boss could dress to kill, but maybe she shouldn't have worn those heels here. Victoria looked down at her own flats. She had been not putting as much effort into her outfits as of lately. Something that she usually would have frowned on, but what was the point really. Did it actually matter? She was starting to believe it really didn't.

Then the brunette started her way and she knew she couldn't play quiet any longer. "Well I had to now didn't I?" It was mandatory, so even though she wanted to owl in sick, Victoria would have never done that to her ~~boss~~ friend. As awkward as he work life had become Vic knew she had responsibilities and she would force herself to do them.

Just as she was about to try and figure out some small talk an arm was around her. She straightened a bit was Charely here? She turned her head as she heard the voice and couldn't help but smile. "Mr. Cresswell, please it's just Victoria I am not a Mrs." Err well not yet at least. There was that wedding looming ahead of her in summer. Not that she wasn't happy about it, but she just couldn't get herself to plan anything at the moment. "It's nice to see you again as well." She had returned the mans semi hug in greeting. Her eyes following as he introduced himself to Mariel, "Don't worry Mr. Cresswell I don't think this one will make eyes at you and forget what we are doing." She she chuckled for the first time in months with the thought of Lourdes making eyes at him that day.

Mariel merely looked at Victoria for a moment, trying to get a feel for the tone of her words. Deciding to shrug it off, the brunette simply gave her a smile. "Well, of course.. though I don't see anyone else here from Games and Sports." She took a quick glance around the immediate area, before turning back to her. "Do you?" Maybe there had been someone she had missed and it was still a bit early but she would not be happy if the rest of her department thought she wasn't serious.

Green eyes followed a well-dressed man as he strode over and apparently knew Victoria who he casually sort of embraced. Oh.. wait, he looked awfully familiar and Mariel thought she knew why. As the two made niceties, the brunette caught a movement out of the corner of her eye and glanced up. Oh, it was her Mystery Man. Mariel gave him a little grin and returned the wave with a casual one of her own. As he soon became occupied with another woman, Mariel turned her attention back to the two in front of her.

Department of Specialties Head.. no wonder he had looked familiar, she had been vaguely acquainted with him because of all the mishaps at the Ministry last year. "It is Mariel.. Morgan," she confirmed, smiling widely and grasping the man's offered hand to shake it firmly. It always pleased her when her name proceeded her. "And yes, new to the position but not to the department. It's a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance officially, Anthony." She had certainly seen him around but the name would have escaped her. "Though I do believe you might already be acquainted with my patronus." The very reason she used the stairs the rest of the year.. her toned calves were thankful.

She turned to Victoria at her comment and laughed a little, knowing exactly what she was referring to. "I'm nothing if not professional," she agreed with a grin for Vic before looking back to Anthony. "Though I can certainly appreciate your sense of style." It was nice that someone knew how to dress for work at the Ministry whether the place was crumbling around them or not.
