She was bouncing around like a crazy person, and this morning while getting ready, Paolo had even had to forgo his usual place on her shoulder and just watch as she had gotten dressed like a CRAZY LUNE. But Em didn't caaaaare! She was just HFIUFHIUEHFEIGHEIGHEIUGHIUGHIUHREUGH abut starting today!

Coffee didn't help.

Normally she wouldn't have dressed as nicely, but considering...first day and all...well..it seemed appropriate. She had long since abandoned the hope of matching outfits with her hair, but whatever! Blue hair, don't care, right? She sipped her coffee diligently as she walked in. She was so excited she SQUEEEEEEEEEED quite a bit....and then realized....there were two men there.

WHEEEEELP.

"Are you my coworkers?!" she cried, looking quite happy about having coworkers! "How nice! Oh my! I hope you both are having as WONDERFUL a day that I am!" she said, looking out the fake window and siiiiiighing at the gentle fake sunlight. It honestly was pretty today, in actuality. Just something else to put Ember's mood on HIGH. She turned back to them...she was a bit younger, but she honestly didn't care. Being twenty-one meant people actually took you seriously, most times, at least. And she was almost twenty-two. Right? RIGHT?

She looked down at her watch and wondered if she should introduce herself. Was it too early for that? Or should she wait? Too many thoughts, and over-thinking, caused Ember to turn briiiiiight red in the face and she just bounced a little as she sipped her coffee. Maybe she would wait. Yes. Waiting seemed the right thing to do, especially since her cheeeeeeerful hello hadn't been responded to yet.

EMBER JUST WANTED TO WORK. And be happy. And help others be happy. And help CREATURES BE HAPPY.

So much happy. O______O

She then noticed another woman and she BEAMED at her! "Hi! Hello! Are you new here as well?!" she asked. Her voice was breathless with...excitement. "I'm new! As you can see--" she giggled a little. "Only a newb could be THIS excited to come in THIS early--but that's okay! Early birds get the worm!" Ugh. And now she was that weird happy quote person..but Ember promised herself she would only allow herself to be the 'crazy happy quote person' for today...tomorrow she had to get her STUFF together and be all...serious.

HA! Yeah right.

Soon after Pem seated herself in the reception area another employee arrived. When the woman turned to her, with a super cheerful look, Pem stood to greet her. "Hello." Pem said with a smile. "I'm new, yes. Am I that out of place looking?" She asked with a chuckle. Now that she thought about it she was probably painfully out of place looking and probably reeked of newbie. "I'm Pem Sparrow, Department of Environmental Regulation and Protection." She introduced herself as she stuck out her hand. That was the proper work place introduction etiquette, right?

Was everyone this cheerful around here? It wasn't even snowing...or was it?
