With a mug in hand and a few markers in the other, Jude started to carefully draw what he hoped looked like a rather ugly, grumpy, smelly, old cat on the glossy white mug, an amused smile across his face at his own genius. He was sure that Cian wouldn’t be thrilled with his depiction of that stupid feline but he didn’t all much care. It was the thought that counted, right? Turning his amused smile back on the woman, he simply nodded before replying “Great! What’s your name sorry? I just need to know who I’m blaming if they accuse me of trying to smuggle two mugs out of here. Well…three if you count me.” He would never snitch on anyone in any way, shape or form but he did love little bit of ‘cheeky banter’ from time to time.


Who even used the word posher? Laurel just let it slide as she kept decorating the mug for her daughter, it was turning out quite nicely too. The younger man’s use of the word 'blaming' got the blond prophecy maven’s attention. Turning her head and attention to the man by her side she introduced herself. "I’m Laurel, I work on Level 9." She put one more piece of glitter on the mugs ear before she asked. "And you are? You work on level 2 right?" Her precious Inner Eye had warned her that she’d encounter at least one MLE employee at the orientation event. "Three mugs?" she asked bewildered. "You want to make 3 mugs i thought you said two?"Laurel supposed the man in charge would put a stop to the man’s excessive mug decorating if he felt it necessary.

SPOILER!!: Anna

Have we started decorating the mugs yet? I want the biggest cup, I always need the biggest cup to get a moving start." She gave a big belly laugh as she headed to the mug station and greeted Jake and the others there already.

"So what are we all making on our mugs? I think I want to try to design a dog on my, what do yinz think? A pretty dog or maybe even some fireworks or some glitter." She couldn't decide exactly what she wanted, but she knew it had to be flashy just like she loved to be.


Before Laurel had the chance to finish her mug and make her way over to the waffle line since she was actually getting a little hungry, they were joined at the mugstation by a bouncy and loud woman. Ignoring the acute urge to rub her ears Laurel casted a look in the other woman’s direction. "Good morning Ms?" A new Transportation employee if she guessed right. "I’m making a mug for my daughter with faeries on it and lot’s of glitter and hearts and other girly stuff." Laurel said as she held up her cup for the other woman to look at. "You want to put real fireworks on your cup?" It was best to ask in case she needed to move a safe distance away or even put up a protective shield.

True, once people started taking muffins, that would be a different story, but these were some sturdy and delicious muffins.
Smiling over at her friend Aurora asked "Great to hear, so what muffin flavours do you have on stock? Any chocolate?" It was then that her new fellow department head on level 4 decided to raise his voice to boom out over the entire atrium. Please, no, is it too much to ask for a colleague that isn’t going to go on my nerves? Plastering on a smile albeit a bit strained Aurora called over to [Forrest] "Good morning Mr Forrest, do you have anything from your garden that can be put in a smoothie perhaps?"

SPOILER!!: Jake

Jake went back to googling his mug, and was just considering how he'd go about addressing the handle, when the American lad spoke up from nearby. He looked over at him, fairly certain MacAfee was unaware he was talking to his new department head, but making nothing of it. "'Fraid not. Unless you want to transfigure one and call it decorating." Which... Jake supposed it was, in a way. "Go ahead and make a couple. Plenty to spare." Actually, now he thought about it, he was going to have to keep his googly mug in his office; bring that home and he'd have four five-year-olds waging war to get their hands on it. Horrific.

When Anna rocked up to the mug-decorating station, Jake showed her his decorated mug, dangling it by the handle on one index finger and rotating it slightly so the many many googly eyes could be seen. "Suppose there's some kind of symbolism in there. Might name it Argus." Because apparently he had not learned his lesson on the mythological names score.

Laurel stopped mid decorating, with another fairy sticker in hand to give a gander at the man in charge’s example. "Nice mug…." she commented quietly. It was not her vibe though, and not something anyone in her family would like except for maybe her great uncle Angus. She wasn’t going to make him a mug today. At the mention of naming a cup Laurel looked around at the other mug decorators asking. "Is it common to name your cups? I know you do it to pets and some even name their wands, but cups?" It felt weird.

SPOILER!!: Lucille

"Be careful of that hat of yours," Lucille said kindly to the woman behind the smoothie counter.


Pushing the chef’s hat up again for what felt like the tenth time in just a few minutes Aurora wasn’t very pleased to hear that it had been noticed. Holding in a grumble she smiled sweetly as she fixed up the order for the employee. "My hat is fine. One strawberry and banana smoothie coming right up!" Getting the fruits together Aurora quickly mixed together with the other ingredients. In a few moments the smoothie was ready. Holding out the smoothie glas to the woman she asked kindly "Would you like a straw to go with your smoothie?" Not everyone wanted straws, they preferred drinking it straight from the glas.

SPOILER!!: Bette + Raini

Listening to the person before her make their order, the brunette piped into the conversation. "Oh, excellent choice. I think I'll order the same." She said to Lucille.

The buzz here was absolutely invigorating!

"Good morning, Ms. Aurora," he greeted her kindly with a pleasant smile. "I like your hat and apron, you really look the part." Perhaps he should have worn the same, but everyone would know he was one of the people in charge, right? Noting that she was also calling out to the people coming in and drawing their attention to the smoothies, he paused in consideration of her question and idea about smoothie specials. "I don't think that's a bad idea," he replied, encouraging her creativity. "Perhaps we should offer themed smoothies, like fruits that go together, tropical fruits and the like." Perhaps this was something they should have thought about before though to be a little more prepared.

"Good morning." Raini gave the young woman (Lucille) who approached them a friendly smile in greeting. She really did appear to be the lost little lamb. But Aurora was on top of it there and he was not going to step on her toes. He'd just wait until the next person approached to help them next. And that seemed to be Bette, who he decided to help while Aurora was busy with Lucille. "Hello there, Miss," he greeted her kindly. "Strawberry and banana then?" He started gathering the correct fruit while the booming voice of Forrest at the pancake station next to him caught his attention as he made the young woman's smoothie. "I don't think shouting is necessary, Mr. Forrest," he joked gently with a chuckle. "The pancakes are already the main attraction. They'll come to you. But I certainly wouldn't mind sampling from your garden when you have a moment." He knew he was plenty busy at the pancake station, even with Charles and Conley there too. But some delicious healthy greens sounded delightful.

"Here you are , Miss," he said to Bette as he handed her the smoothie "Strawberry and banana, enjoy!"


"Good morning!" Aurora beamed over the station counter to the young woman; [Bette]. "Is this your first day at the ministry?" The excitement that radiated from the woman was very apparent and cute. Since Raini took care of her order Aurora took it upon herself to cut up some fruit while she waited for more employees stealing a look in Raini’s direction. "Tropical fruit smoothie? I like that idea, we can put it on a list as a special. Got any other suggestions? A vegan smoothie mayhaps with only vegetables in it? Or a coloured smoothie with only red fruits like strawberry, apples and something more?" She had the question about asking Raini why he wasn’t suited up in an apron and chef's hat on her tongue, but she didn’t know him well enough yet. Maybe he’d be offended if she asked that, it wouldn’t be good since they were going to share this station for the remainder of the morning’s event.

SPOILER!!: Jasper

Taking a moment to let her eyes travel over the employees that had now come into the atrium, Aurora's eyes first landed on the very striking plum suit and then realized who it belonged to, her very own employee Jasper. Returning his wave with an elegant one of her own Aurora called over to him with laughter in her eyes. "Come when you wish, there is no rush Jasper. Nice suit, I do want to exchange a few words with you later." She had an idea that she wanted to pick his brain about. She wasn’t sure if he’d be interested but time would tell.
