She did hope, by coming to this party, she will get to know some of her co-workers , so her first day at the ministry was TOO awkward.

She also knew that the newly-elected Minster, Sherman Clark, was here. She probably should introduce herself to him at one point tonight.

Michelle then started to walk down the buffet table, to see what kinds of food and drinks are being offer.

As of today she was on her way to being an AUROR. How freakin' cool was THAT??

Only thing that wasn't cool...was wobbling around in heels. Merlin who's idea was it to make this a 'fancy formal event'? Every few steps was a wobble and she didn't think she'd be getting any better considering heels were usually not a factor in ANY part of her dress. This was hard--and so was wearing an actual dress. Ugh.

Just think about the Auror life, Lex.

By some great miracle she made it over to the buffet table without hurting herself or anyone else for that matter. That's when she spotted two people already there. "Hi!" NEW CO-WORKERS because she had those now! Eeeep! "The name's Alexa...or Lex, doesn't really bothered me. New YATI, I'm technically in charge of making sure no one dies tonight!"...Okay...so maybe not for another three years...but she could dream.

She was talented like that.

She almost bumped into the table, too---but luckily she was sooooo tiny that she hardly even MOVED it. HEHEHE. The young woman giggled and glanced around---SERIOUSLY? Where was the boyfriend? (...he was her boyfriend, right?) She assumed....so? They had never...actually said it aloud. But they did couple things...so...

Pfffft.

She kept her hips in tune to the music playing and WAVED REALLY EAGERLY AT ALL THE PEOPLES HERE.

"HI!" she cried at one particularly PRETTY woman [Alana]....nice dress, lady! Ember's cheeks were like...hurting because SHE COULDN'T STOP SMILING! WORK WAS FUN AND IT WAS ALL SO FUN and she MISSED ALL THE FACES!

Though, these three women looked unfamiliar.

"HI HI HI!" she waved more and SQUEAKED during the last hi, bouncing up and down SOOOOOO excitedly. She was waving at ...one YOUNG looking person [Alexa] and another lady---WHO LOOKED SO NICE, TOOOOO! [Michelle]

TONIGHT WAS GOING TO BE GREAT.

Speaking of company, he seemed to have lost his beautiful date somewhere between the front door and his current new location which proved to be the source of this evenings food and drink.

Surveying the spread, he picked up a glass of some sparkling juice beverage absently to have something in his hands. It was then that he let his gaze survey the premises almost naturally slipping back into routine. The task at hand...keeping an eye on things here much like his job called for during the working hours. There were more than a few new faces that the security man was sure to keep an eye on to encourage familiarity in his mind. He might get to now them later on.

One of the trio caught his attention, the mention of YATI guiding him to move towards rhe group of new faces. However it was the comment this young woman...Alexa...said next that caused a slightly raised eyebrow that he was quick to relax to play along. "Yes...quite pivotal she is..." he mused aloud, making his presence known before casually taking a sip of his drink.

Alana continued sipping on her punch, humming a quiet song to herself when she noticed another person [Michelle] had joined in looking at the food. She was about to ask her about how extravagant it looked but a tiny girl in BRIGHT red heels woke her up out of her thoughts and started rambling miles a minute.

WAIT. She was in charge of them to not die? Alana wasn't hopeful. She cleared her throat and gave a small smile, trying not to show that she was worried about who was taking care of her tonight. She heard a comment made by someone next to her [Simon] and she couldn't help but smile. So hopefully it wasn't true. Hopefully. "Lex...is great to meet you. A YATI? Vat s'that? My name ist Alana. On-lee Alana. I'm in dee Department ov Mysteries." She nodded, giving another nod to the girl and guy next to her.

Out of the corner of Alana's eye she noticed another bouncy, young girl coming towards her and she wondered if she could run at this point. She hoped this girl wasn't in her department with her or else she wouldn't know how to live. To think that she thought herself was excited and happy was hilarious at this point.

She couldn't just stop talking to the younger girl in front of her so she stayed put and gave a smile once the other bouncy girl came towards her. She jolted a little once she gave a loud HI and put a hand on her own chest. "Hi...this zing? Its nothing." She said, looking down at her dress and smiling. "I'm Alana Ritter. Dee Department ov Mysteries." Well maybe having happy, young, and crazy people talking to her wasn't so bad. At least they weren't mean or insulting potions or charms.
