NOAH MARTIN-PRYCE | DEPARTMENT OF MYSTERIES UNSPEAKABLE
EN ROUTE TO THE CORAL BAR

Noah honestly felt underdressed for the evening, but the more and more he tried on various button ups either with a tie or bowtie the more he felt suffocated. The thought of being submerged in the deep as this gala demanded was unnerving to say the least and the only reason he felt even an inkling of comfort and bravery about attending was because of the man on his arm. He just hoped that Bean kept Picadilly proper company in his absence and did not chew up too many more of her things - cardboard cutouts were still an exception to this. Just...no one alert her to this fact. Dressed exclusively in black, he would have been baffled that Joseph's primary concern with being this deep down was the potential to ruin his suit.

Of all things, truly.

"Shall we fetch ourselves something to drink first and then find our seats?" he offered as a timid suggestion while his fingers settled in the spaces between those of his boyfriend's. He figured Joseph would likely wish to dance, but Noah would very much be needing to fortify before he exposed himself to such things. Though, in suggesting that, the appearance of the Atlantian chieftess had the red head second, third, and fourth guessing the option. He also noticed Indigo and tried to a casual sort of wave to his co-worker who always treated him kindly, but the fellow Unspeakable seemed preoccupied with other company for now. Perhaps later.

CHARLES HOLLINGBERRY | MINISTER FOR MAGIC
CORAL REEF BAR


It was uncanny as well as refreshing with just how easily Genevieve could make him feel like a toddler caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Charles was certainly not getting any younger, just a ripe...considerable number and still with the heart of a child. He knew his Senior Undersecretary's heart was in the right place and he was just an old man making it difficult for her to maintain a certain high standard of James efficiency. "Genevieve," he cooed affectionately while taking a stride towards her to place a fatherly hand upon her shoulder. "This is an event to promote international magical cooperation and peace, such heinous acts would be entirely against such desires. Rest assured that ---"

The return of her royal highness silenced the Minister, but only briefly. It was a bit of a diplomatic pickle they had found themselves in, but nothing that couldn't be smoothed over. The same gesture seeming to cross Hugo's mind as well as Charles reached for two glasses as well - one for YOU, Genevieve. "A celebratory round, in honor of our hostess, her people, and her magnificent kingdom. May this be the beginning of flowing prosperity between our worlds." Yes? Right? Right, Genevieve?!

AIREY FLAMSTEED | DEPARTMENT OF MYSTERIES DEPARTMENT HEAD
ER...A WALL SOMEWHERE AROUND THE DOME...AND THEN TO THE CORAL BAR...AND BACK AGAIN


Unaware that Peggy may be giving a bit of a questionable stink eye in his direction, well warranted if he had his wits more about himself, Airey continued to lick and paw at the bubble in hopes that some of the water from the outside would trickle in somehow...or he would simply fall through it and into the liquid heaven that was just beyond his reach. The seraphic song that had been playing on and on inside head for months now seemed louder here, more pronounced, and yet also a distant quality was now added to it as well. A longing that went much deeper than the depths of the sea within which he stood. He did find his attention drawn to Jane as she joined him, his own cheek now pressed against the magical barrier...that is until she began speaking more of his language. Of course, it was simple science with a very precise magical twist!

He only wished Minerva had decided to come. He could use her particularly set of skills given the current environment.

"More...perhaps more drinks in that case! I shall not be more than a moment," he reassured the Unspeakable before taking several long and hurried strides over to the Coral Bar where he lunged right between the Minister, Senior Undersecretary, Head of Magical Law Enforcement, and MerChieftess towards the non-Mermish drinks. Giving no regard for the state of his suit, the man scooped up as many as his arms could carry and hurried back towards Jane. Several glasses fell and broke on the floor before them...but perhaps that was not the worst of things. They could make a puddle and then lay in it! Therefore oops ... but not entirely oops ... Airey tipped glass upon glass and poured the liquid on to the floor for Jane to work with and end their torture of being so close to the water and yet so far!

BECKY RASTING | DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGICAL REGULATION & PROTECTION EMPLOYEE
DINING ROOM


It was like being acknowledged by a wrock star, the manner in which her boss had smiled at her and Becky could not help but give her boyfriend's arm several overly excited pats before remembering her manners and offering a wave in return. She was so elegant and breathtaking and Becky's cheeks most certainly brightened in rouge. She noticed her fellow greenhouse caretakers as well, Stella and Oceanus, though the pair tended to be very much enthralled with one another and she never felt it polite to try and insert herself into their space even when she wanted to. She loved making new friends and the department was full of fascinating people!

And speaking of fascinating people and a face erupting with blush, she giggled entirely too much when Sam pulled her against his side and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around his middle. She also hopped up on to her tip toes to give his cheek a quick peck. He looked very handsome tonight, did he know? She had only said it a couple of dozen times on the submarine ride down and she hadn't even noticed his tie was in his pocket because his handsome eyes and fluffy hair were far more alluring.

"You are so hospitable," she beamed up at him before giving just ooooone more quick but very enthusiastic peck. "And after...we have to have a dance or two..." Or maybe ten. "Their voices are so beautiful...like nightingales. Isn't that fascinating AND awe-inspiring how there are so many comparable things and aspects of life that mirror and reflect other aspects despite them being in such different places? Like daisies and anemones...swimming schools of fish and bird..." She was entirely too excitable, could he tell?

Looking over the tray of options, Becky's eyes widened and she tapped her lips trying to sort out just which to try. "They all look so delightful. How do you even decide which to eat?" Sam would know and he could make the impulsive decisions while she ooh'd and awe'd over everything.
