Well, most if not all ministries have their own issues anyway, so the Brits really isn’t an exception.

This shindig is a good way to kick start the new work year though.

Ryden turned to go and see if he could mark every box, but stopped to see a man standing there, looking down at his own card. “Hello. It seems the card got you interested too, yes?” the 42 year old joined the man and went over his blank card as well. “I’m Ryden. New to the Ministry.” He said pointing at his card where it says ‘New to the Ministry’.

Feeling like he was back in December 2069 with awkward ice breakers, Aron looked up from his piece of paper when he heard someone address him. "G'day," he greeted the man. An unfamiliar face which meant an easy check off his BINGO board. But it would be easy for him to find someone that fist those parameters and therefore he ought not waste such an easy one right away. "Aron Ashburry-Hawthorne, department head of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes."

And he reached out to take the man's hand for a firm hand shake. Just not a Rainey sort of one where the other's hand became crushed in the process.

He was NEVER getting over that one.

There were other terms that could be attributed to her instead, but she didn't care.

Nibbling on a piece of chocolate that hadn't come from the buffet, she'd wandered over toward the bingo tables, snagging a card at nearly the same time an older man had addressed a second older man. At least, she assumed they were older. "You're new too?," she interjected, just out of curiosity. She'd barely looked at the card in her hand, not when things that were more interesting were going on.

See? Point made. No need to waste that space so quickly.

"G'day," he nodded to her. Not new here but since she had overheard Ryden he assumed she had overheard him as well. "My favorite color is Mantis green, what's yours?"

Just push them aside if they don't. Crossed out the boxes to get a FREE cupcake? Charles couldn't help roll his eyes at this. How troublesome...Why would he put so much effort to get one measly cupcake he could have gotten it anywhere? Clearly, this was not his cup of tea, he should leave before people started asking him pointless questions. He glanced to the side and was surprised to see his boss here as well. Another guy was here too, new employee? Never seen him before.

When Charles arrived, Aron gave the sheet a quick look over. Anything on here he could use to rattle the bloke's bars a little? "Hey Charles. What's your opinion on reptiles for pets?"

"Ministry of Magic Orientation Employee BINGO," she said aloud and to no one in particular. This seemed like a fun and creative way to meet new people - something that she sorely needed to do since she was new here. Could she check off a few boxes herself? Somehow she doubted it, but there were definitely a few boxes that she ticked off.

Born outside of the UK? Check. Is a parent? Check. Is an only child? Check. And of course there were others.

Looking up from her paper, Daisy spotted her boss standing near a man and woman she was not familiar with (Ryden and Kendall). "Hello, sir," she said to her boss with a smile. "And hello to you too," she added to the others while turning the smile towards them.

Now here was a familiar face to be sure. "No need for the formalities, Daisy," he said with a quick dismissive wave of the hand. "Just call me Aron." And as her first unofficial role on the job she could do his BINGO sheet too!

Just jokin'. He would lead by example and do it himself.

"Here, how's about for your first official duty you just sign your name on this square here," he chuckled while indicating to the born outside of the UK box.

Ryden won’t be surprised if he did. He did look bored...and tired of all the parties that has been thrown the past few years.

Ryden’s blue eyes went back to the woman (Daisy) who acknowledged her boss’ presence, and gave her a warm smile. “Hello.” He said, “Ryden Reed, International Cooperation. New.” He added, giving her a polite nod. That simple introduction should give away so many information about him right? It’s only a matter of asking him the right question really. “Are you new as well?”

"Indeed," he nodded. "Department head for eight years now and spent some time working in Law Enforcement before that." He gave the bloke a look over real quick. Again. Not going to waste the new to the Ministry just yet. "You like chocolate?"

Separating from her husband shortly after entering the orientation, Alex made her way towards the bingo mixer and picked up the chart. Can she just fill out "Cole Knight" for a couple of these instead of asking around? Of course that was lazy and she, Alexandria Knight, was not lazy.

She did see Seren's husband over there and she was pretty sure she could check him off for having been at the ministry for over five years. "Evening, Aron," she greeted to the Accident & Catastrophes Department Head. "You've been at the Ministry more than five years, yes?" Which meant four more to go.

He probably should be able to place a name right now. Probably. But nothing was distinctly popping to mind at the moment despite the familiar face. "Something like that," he mused, his quill twitching in anticipation. "You had any pancakes today?"

Now WHERE was Emily? There was a box on his that he wanted to convince her to sign off on. Heh.

Then Aron was looking at the bloke suggesting they all form a line. Collective BINGO? Sure. Why not. Free cupcakes for everyone.
