Default Lunch & Communication Exercise
Made of Awesome | Ern-la the Best-wa | TZ's Apogee


Several long tables have been set up with an array of sandwiches, salads, and small snacks covering a wide range of food needs and preferences for a casual lunch between orientation tasks. Grab something to eat and one of several beverages at your leisure and take a seat.

Round tables have been set with several chairs at each. Two self-inking quills rest in the center of each table near a little envelope marked "Conversation Starters" on one side, with instructions on the other. Perhaps you know the people you're seated with, but perhaps you don't. Introduce yourselves and start building the connections that are part of a strong Ministry team, within and between Departments.

SPOILER!!: Conversation Starters
Choose one (or more) of the prompts below for what was in your table's envelope!
  • What is the Ministry not doing that you think it could be? This might be something external to serve our constituents or something internal like employee mixers
  • You're out to dinner as a group when a woman approaches you to lecture you about how the Ministry ignores the threats on Knockturn. How do you respond?
  • What aspect of wizarding culture is most important to you and why?
  • Brainstorm two new initiatives that involve all of the departments represented at your table
  • Why work for the Ministry of Magic?
  • Write a mission statement for the Ministry of Magic
  • Imagine that you remain employed at the Ministry the rest of your working years. What is your legacy?
  • Your table is the newly appointed Public Relations Committee. What do you want the rest of the Wizarding World to know about what the Ministry does to serve?

Taladona Jordan had no idea just how anxious this whole orientation thing was going to make her, had she been even the slightest bit suspicious she would have taken a calming draught before coming in...

It was too late to do anything about that now, Tala would just have to deal with her agitation the old fashioned way, with deep breaths and small distractions. Tala's lightly tanned fingers played nervously with her delicate heart necklace, the feel of the cool, smooth silver was calming, along with the memory of the man who had given it to her.

But, the California girl couldn't stand around thinking about Lucas for all day, she needed to... Mingle, get involved, meet her peers.. She was good at people for Merlin's sake, why was she so worried?! Internally shaking her head at herself, Tala grabbed an iced, canned coffee from the beverage table and took a seat at one of the completely ordinary, but weirdly intimidating round tables.

Right... Conversation starters... She could do this.

Bhuvana went full out this year, full dress, full colors, and eyeliner as dark as her soul. She wasn't perfect, of course - her hair was simply up in a high plait, because a certain SOMEONE was notorious for getting FOOD in her HAIR. But she was totally over that. Serene. It wasn't like she was craning her head to see any particularly muscly tattooed men, or anything like that. Nope. Not one bit.

She mindlessly picked some food and drinks and carried it over to an empty table. Looking at the first conversation starter she saw, what aspect of wizarding culture is most important to you and why?, she snorted. If people wanted culture, they should go to India.

Emmalee was particularly keen on seeing how the communication exercises went, and so she wandered over to the tables. She had some things in mind for this year and... well, she'd just say that those things were going to require inter-departmental conversation and collaboration.

And so here was her opportunity to see if the staff was actually up to it.

If anyone was talking, that is. Emmalee checked her watch, and figured that yes, perhaps it was still early before people would feel the need to snack and sit, but there were some folks beginning to gather, at least...

Approaching one from behind, she smiled, unaware that it was someone she was already acquainted with. "Would you mind if I joined you?" she asked, waiting for the woman to turn around.

Kai looked up and down the tables and picked lightly, making herself a small plate. Food was never a bad thing and it was an easy way to keep people content. She picked the most random combinations of food possible and scanned and all of the faces around before picking a table to sit, at random. She didn't know anyone here as far as she knew, so it was all irrelevant right? She found herself a quiet corner and sat down silently. There was some mingling and chatting already going on and she decided to relax herself. If someone wanted to talk, good, if no one did....good. She was fine with it either way. Out of curiosity, she checked the paper saying 'Conversation Starters'. Why work for the ministry of magic.......that could be a can of worms.

Tala looked over the little cue card and sipped her coffee, waiting quietly and a bit impatiently for her new peers to arrive... She couldn't be that early, could she? But then, maybe people were tackling that obstacle thing first. Hm.

Would you mind if I joined you?

Taladona turned and was immediately met with the sight of Emmalee Quinn.

In recent years Taladona had begun to think that she was maybe, possibly, kind of, well... Jinxed. Bad Luck and Mischief seem to follow her around, just waiting for exactly the right moment to strike, usually it was when her defenses were down.

And this was one of those moments it seemed. "Oh. Emmalee, hi, hello," The words gushed quickly from her lips, her surprise and anxiety causing her mouth to work far more quickly than her brain currently was. She ought not to be surprised, Tala knew very well that Emmalee was a department head, after all, the two women had discussed it, nonetheless, Tala was a bit struck.

Charles peered over the food choices available, not the best of options but he guessed it would do to fill his growing hunger.Of course, keeping in mind that he only choose food groups that were healthy to his daily diet,maintaining his body figure was always one of his top priority in his list. His tray consisting of chicken sandwich, apple, side-salad and orange juice...he then carried them and walked around to find an available seat. Charles frowned, he much prefered to sit alone and read his book but they were told to converse as part of the orientation process...urgh. He sighed and looked around, he spotted a lone newcomer too sitting by herself by the corner. He reluctantly walked towards her table and placed his tray in front of her.
"Hi,"he muttered and sat across from her. Charles finally took in her appearance and stared at her funny for a moment. He couldn't help writhe mentally inside because of her colourful dress she wore. Was she dressed for a halloween party or something?

Charles gave her a slightly forced smile," We're told to sit and converse with each other for this orientation activity they're plan...so..."he told her, shrugging his shoulders. He went silent after that, he had nothing much else to say beside introducing himself.
"Charles Demetri,a newcomer for DMAC...and you are...?"he asked,raising an eyebrow at her.

The first thing Honoria P. Borges did when she entered the room was grabbed a salad, and a tea. She was eager to get started so she found a seat opposite a lone woman. She tucked her very long legs under the table. She'd like to cross her legs, but the tables didn't work with that. When your heels make you 6'4", you only have so much to work with.

A man had came up to the other woman at the table, and they were about to engage in a conversation.

For once, Honoria wasn't sure how to start the conversation. She just smiled at the stranger, and put her notebook on the table. She was ready for the task ahead, and wondered if the other two at the table was as well.

Charles regarded the other woman who was there too. She seemed eager to start a conversation. But all he wanted was to start eating his lunch because his food would get cold if he didn't.He grabbed his apple and took a bite before introducing himself again.."Uh..hi, sorry...Charles Demetri...is it your first day of orientation as well?"he asked her.

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Charles." Honoria smiled at the new acquaintance. She extended her slender hand, in hopes that Charles would shake it. "It is my first day. I'm very excited to start. What about you? What department are you in?" She asked him. "I'm in International Cooperation." After she spoke, she smiled, and took a sip of her tea.

Hadley was quite excited to meet all of the new employees. She had heard from Harmony that the Ministry had been doing an orientation for the new staff, and that continuing staff were encouraged to attend, so that was what she was doing. She had peeled herself away from the final editing of her book to meet some new people, and though she much preferred communicating with the slightly colder and deader spirits she so loved, she was occasionally interested in meeting hot blooded people.

Hadley sat down at a random table and, before she had anything to do with anyone or anything, she reached for a sandwich and some water. After eating the sandwich and rinsing it down with some water, she was ready to mingle.

Did he really have to do this? The meet and greet thing? Was it really necessary? Mordred thought that the whole shenanigan was a waste of time and resources when they could just owl them their kits and badges, and head straight to work. If there was one thing the Ministry was synonymous for, it would be inefficiency. Well, at least from what he had heard of course. However, the man was present in the orientation just to give himself a feel of what it’s really like to work for the government. He could at least gauge from that point if his stay will be worthwhile.

After the checkpoint, he was gestured towards a room where food was served on long tables, and circular ones for...well, mingling. Mordred headed for the basket filled with a variety of bottled juice and got himself something cold to drink. Turning, he aimlessly walked over to a table with a single person sitting, and pulled a chair for himself. He need not ask if he could sit there, right? It was an orientation party after all. Mordred however gave the woman a polite nod of acknowledgement, and went on to unscrew his drink and took a gulp.

Now...what about those quills and card? Nope. Not going to touch those anytime soon.

Hadley sensed someone approach, and she turned as he sat down at her table. There was a polite nod, which Hadley returned with a smile, then he started to drink. She hadn't seen him around before, perhaps he was a new one? Zhenya probably wouldn't know how many of the people in this room were new employees and how many were returning staff. She never really mingled. But she was here, and she would try.

"Hello," she said casually to the guy. "I'm Hadley. Magical Creatures. Are you a new staff member at the Ministry?" she asked. She reached across the table to flick through some of the conversation starters. Picking one at random she asked, in a very sirius voice, "What aspect of wizarding culture is most important to you and why?" then looked at him, a smile cracking over her face. Was that what they were supposed to be doing?

Taladona Jordan. Of course. Emmalee had meant to follow up with her co-Heads to find out if anyone had hired the young woman into their department, but in all the haze of the engagement and the vacation, it had completely slipped her mind.

The older woman smiled, though. "Tala," she said, still not sitting, and absently rubbing her thumb along the band of her ring - had he told her? - as she continued, "I'm glad to see you got the position. Where did you end up?" Because Emmalee could not recall the women having discussed that particular detail.

She looked up and around though, thinking it was probably best not to monopolize Tala's time in this exercise, for both personal and professional reasons. But who could she wave over?

“This is a bad idea.” Mordred thought as he screwed back the cap of his juice and placed his bottle on the table as he looked over at the woman, and returned her smile with a grin of his own. He had to at least try to look sociable because he’s new, and he knew that he had to play by their rules. If he was lucky, he’d get to skip the orientation thingamajig in the future when he’s not a newbie anymore.

Such thoughts were put on hold when the woman, whose name was Hadley, started to talk. From the get-go, Mordred thought that she’s pretty normal; this meant good news for him. He didn’t need to put up with weirdos, of which the Ministry is somewhat known for. “Yes I am, Ma’am. My name is Mordred,” He knew too that he had to be careful with the people around here. Looks can be very deceiving. “And I now work for the Magical Creatures Department as well.” The former Slytherin did not offer his hand anymore, seeing that Hadley went on to reach for the little envelope and had asked him a question.

Mingling already? Mordred hoped that a familiar face would join them soon, like Williamson, so he could avoid being questioned by dumb queries. Speaking of which, where is William? Mordred expected the man to be in that room as well, but no signs of his senior dragon fellow. Mordred sat back, as he contemplated his answer. "What aspect of wizarding culture is most important to you and why?" For some reason, he couldn’t answer the question right away. It was as if his answer was stuck somewhere in his throat. The man unscrewed his bottle and drank again, clearing his throat this time. “The unique traditions of pureblood families, I suppose. It is as important as having an identity.” There, was his answer satisfactory? He hoped so because it felt like he had expended so much effort with his response. “How about you, Miss Hadley? Same question.”

He had to at least try to look sociable because he’s new, and he knew that he had to play by their rules. If he was lucky, he’d get to skip the orientation thingamajig in the future when he’s not a newbie anymore.

Such thoughts were put on hold when the woman, whose name was Hadley, started to talk. From the get-go, Mordred thought that she’s pretty normal; this meant good news for him. He didn’t need to put up with weirdos, of which the Ministry is somewhat known for. “Yes I am, Ma’am. My name is Mordred,” He knew too that he had to be careful with the people around here. Looks can be very deceiving. “And I now work for the Magical Creatures Department as well.” The former Slytherin did not offer his hand anymore, seeing that Hadley went on to reach for the little envelope and had asked him a question.

Mingling already? Mordred hoped that a familiar face would join them soon, like Williamson, so he could avoid being questioned by dumb queries. Speaking of which, where is William? Mordred expected the man to be in that room as well, but no signs of his senior dragon fellow. Mordred sat back, as he contemplated his answer. "What aspect of wizarding culture is most important to you and why?" For some reason, he couldn’t answer the question right away. It was as if his answer was stuck somewhere in his throat. The man unscrewed his bottle and drank again, clearing his throat this time. “The unique traditions of pureblood families, I suppose. It is as important as having an identity.” There, was his answer satisfactory? He hoped so because it felt like he had expended so much effort with his response. “How about you, Miss Hadley? Same question.”


Ma'am? Hadley raised her eyebrows at that. No one had ever called her Ma'am. But Mordred, cool name. Her eyebrows jumped high when he said he was working with Creatures, too. "Oh lovely, well welcome to the department. What area are you going to be working in?" He looked a bit rough around the edges, though some of the other creatures employees did anyway. He didn't look like he had a simple non-physical role, like she did.

Hadley noted his... hesitation? Long pause? Before he answered the question. Perhaps she had come off a little strong. But, breaking the ice and all. Her lips curled up at his answer. Pureblood families? "I don't suppose you were a former Slytherin?" she asked. All good. She appreciated his honest answer. Now it was her turn, though for some reason she hadn't been expecting it. She took a deep inhale and slowly exhaled, "I suppose for me... the most important aspect of wizarding culture is our diversity. Not only do we have witches and wizards, but spirits, and other magical creatures." She had strong connections to the spirit world, and she loved that they were part of the wizarding culture.

The eyebrow raise, he noted the gesture. The word ma’am was sort of a booby-trap to see if the woman he was talking to would have the superiority complex defect, or the down-to-earth attitude. He was pleased to see that she was, well hopefully, the latter. “Beast Division, under the Dragon Research and Restraint Bureau.” Mordred crossed his legs and looked more at ease by now. He considered himself lucky to be talking to someone who also belongs to his Department.

Mordred shrugged as he placed his hand on the table and began to tap it with his finger. “Why do you think so? I could have been a former Ravenclaw...” the former Snake grinned at this. Of course, once sorted into the Snake House, all the stereotyping would follow shortly after. He knew the Morganzos to be pureblood too, but one of their daughters were in Ravenclaw; Elliot.

The man stared, and continued to observe Hadley. She’s way too calm to belong in the Beast Division...or Beings Division. There’s this aura of mystery around her. And...did she single out the spirits in her last statement? “I suppose you work for the ‘has-beens’?” If so, then interesting...or maybe boring. Obviously, Mordred wanted to know more about her job. “Could you please tell me more about your...job in our Department?”

Wasn't it just wonderful to be back? Harmony thought so. The red head was simply buzzing with excitement and for those with the ability to see such things, they'd notice her aura was a lovely orange-red today. Yes, she was full of confidence that this was going to be the best year at the ministry ever.

Noting that several of her employees were mingling around the food, the department head decided to join them. They wouldn't mind, she was sure. So with a relaxed smile in place, she headed right over to join the conversation taking place.

"Helloooooo there! Sorry to interrupt. I was hoping I could join you both for a chat as we're all part of the creatures family!" It helped that the files had pictures so even the newest additions were recognized. She was good with faces, Harmony was.

Addison Longbottom was nervous to say the least. She usually was whenever she was going into a new situation where she didn't know anyone - especially if it was in England. The last name 'Longbottom' was both a blessing and a curse - most people wanted to ask about her great great uncle, which was cool and all, but also exhausting. Man, she couldn't wait till she was married.

She bit her lip and entered the conversation exercise. She was dressed in wool skirt with a cute lacey black top and sensible work pumps, but now she was afraid maybe she overdressed a bit. She had wanted to exude an aura of confidence and sophistication, but now she wondered if maybe she looked like she was trying too hard.

She knew she'd warm up once she introduced herself and stuff but man, it was TOUGH getting over that hurdle.

Smoothing her skirt, she walked up to the group of employees that she heard mention "magical creatures", hoping they were her new co-workers. Sure enough, she recognized the department head, Harmony Skylark, and could only assume from there that everyone else was from Level 4 as well. WHEW. There was one less thing to worry about- finding her co-workers! Smiling and putting on her air of confidence, she walked up to Harmony and cleared her throat.

"Hello, Ms. Skylark? Sorry to interrupt, my name is Addison Longbottom, I'm one of your new employees," she said with a smile, holding out a hand for a shake.

Perwyn arrived at the New and Old Employee Orientation in a short sleeved black t-shirt and with her hair down. She looked around the room for familiar faces when she entered. The letter from her department head Emmalee (who was now talking to another employee) had said that there were two new faces at their department. It would be interesting to meet them.

Perwyn walked towards the tables and looked at the list of questions. She picked one and read it out loud. "You're out to dinner as a group when a woman approaches you to lecture you about how the Ministry ignores the threats on Knockturn. How do you respond?"

"Good question" she muttered. She had only once been inside Knockturn Alley before. It had been right after she had graduated from Hogwarts. She had been feeling adventurous and had just wandered in alone. Nothing dangerous had happened, but it had been a creepy experience that she did not want to repeat. Several times she had felt like she was being followed, and once she thought she had seen an old hag. Thankfully her job at the Environmental Department as head of the Environmental Rangers had never required she go there, but someday it might. Was the Ministry going to be paying more attention to Knockturn Alley? What was the correct answer for this question?

"Tala," she said, still not sitting, and absently rubbing her thumb along the band of her ring - had he told her? - as she continued, "I'm glad to see you got the position. Where did you end up?" Because Emmalee could not recall the women having discussed that particular detail.

She looked up and around though, thinking it was probably best not to monopolize Tala's time in this exercise, for both personal and professional reasons. But who could she wave over?

Tala didn't know what made her glance down at Emmalee's hand, was it the older woman's subtle movement? A trick of the light? Or was it simply that Taladona knew the ring must be there and the thought itself had guided her gaze.

There it was, the ring Iwin Howell had given Emmalee Quin, a symbol of the devotion he surely felt for the graceful red head. She had expected to see it, had known of the engagement for months, so why did the sight of the diamond engagement ring still make her stomach flip?

Thankfully, the reaction did not last long and though the blonde hardly felt comfortable, the war smile that slid across her face did not show it. "I did, thank you." She nodded, eyes subtly avoiding the ring, she ought to say something about it. To congratulate her. "Oh, I'm Junior Werewolf Support Advisor, Magical Creatures Department... " Merlin, that was a mouthful.

There was a short pause, and Tala sipped her coffee, thoughts tumbling around in her head. "Emmalee, congratulations on your engagement... Iwin told me," Was it too soon to have said that? Was it unprofessional? Tala didn't know, but she'd felt the need to say it, to squander and squish her other less pleasant thoughts by choosing to be happy for Emmawin.

Maybe if she made the conscious choice about it, it would make the feeling more real.

Ahh he was another dragon dude, Hadley nodded. "Oh excellent, you're joining a great team. What has your previous experiences with Dragons been like?" she asked, always curious about those who worked with what she would consider dangerous creatures. Well, they were classified XXXXX, but she was sure there were dragon enthusiasts out there would would blame wizards on the fierceness of the dragons. She was glad to see him looking like he was slightly more comfortable talking.

Hadley smiled, "You could have been but we Ravenclaws aren't as fussed with blood purity." She shrugged, it didn't matter to her what blood status people were, but she did look at the pure blood families with a sense of appreciation for their, perhaps, dedication in continuing with the pure blood line. Though she didn't appreciate the extremists, who may as well go off and become the next Voldemort.

She laughed, the "Has Beens." Well, at least they still sort of were. She nodded "Yes I'm one of the Spirit Support Officers." She noted his slight pause during his question, but she got it. She wasn't always doing hands-on work, she didn't work with dragons or werewolves, or even creatures of the caged type. She was more or less a cool, Witchy Social Worker. "Well at the moment I'm writing a book about communicating with spirits and poltergeists. There was a lot of travel involved, I got to go all around the world and visit some known spirit groups, as well as some haunted places; castles, hospitals, jails, that sort of thing. Basically my job is to help the spirits in any way I can, either to introduce them with other spirits, or help with residency." She paused and took a sip of her water. She smiled "It's either a lot of travel, field work type thing, gathering research, interviews, observations, that sort of thing, or it's my desk work in writing everything down and editing it."

Just as she had finished describing her job to Mordred, Harmony approached them and joined. "Of course, hi Harmony, how have you been?" Hadley asked her department head. She swivelled her chair a bit so that everyone could be in view without her having to move her neck too much. Harmony appeared to be in quite a happy mood today, not that she was ever anything but friendly.

Hadley smiled in her direction, always wanting to welcome faces to the division, "Hi Addison, I'm Hadley," she said to the new addition, once she and Harmony had had a few moments.

"Werewolf Support?" Merlin, that would mean that they would share a level. Emmalee didn't dislike Tala, far from it. In fact, the redhead found her to be a warm, generally enjoyable person. But there was some awkward between them and Em knew there wasn't anything that she could do about it. Maybe with time... and proximity... it would abate?

Or at least she could hope.

"I suppose that makes sense, what with the experiment we discussed." She hoped mentioning that meeting would not bring up the discomfort around their first meeting. They'd moved past that in New York, yes? "Well, if you end up with need of space in the greenhouses, do let me know... they're just on the other end of our level from the Creatures workspace."

...what? Emmalee looked down at her ring, suddenly aware that she'd been rubbing it the whole time. This was that personal/professional overlap that she hated so much. If it had been any other co-worker, she would simply say thank you and continue on. But there was a personal component here and Emmalee didn't quite know how to tease the two apart. If she smiled too broadly, or seemed too happy, would it bother Tala? But if she were brusque about it, it was likely that Tala would feel dismissed in some way, she figured. Horklumps.

Opting for a soft smile, she glanced at the ring and then back to Tala. "Thank you."

Simple enough, yes?

please don't let me be miunderstood

Kim Yoona was quite anxious for this Orientation. It was her (unofficial) first day at the Ministry of Magic, the day she would be meeting all her new colleagues and friends. Or she HOPED this would be the day to do so. She did not want to go to work as a loner, nope.

Yoona took a deep breath, then wandered over to the Lunch tables. A good place to begin her communication with the Ministry team. She flipped her hair unconsciously before grabbing a sandwich and a glass of Gillywater. Now, somewhere to SIT... Yoona approached a random table and smiled. "Hi, do you mind if I join you?" They looked friendly - but then, MOST people seemed friendly to the former Hufflepuff.

Mariel was here for one reason and that was because she felt an obligation to welcome her new employees. At seven months pregnant, she wasn't about to engage in any training exercises and she felt that she was skilled enough with a wand. It was probably useful for some employees in certain departments though as maybe their own skills were lacking if it was relevant to them, but she was sitting that out. Good on them if they wanted to participate.

Instead, she headed straight for the food. Her growing, unborn child was causing a drastic increase in her appetite and she had the potential to get a little hangry without regular sustenance. She piled a plate with a few little sandwiches and some salad things then looked for either A) a table where she knew (and liked) someone or B) an empty table. As choice A was not looking likely, she opted for choice B.

As she set her plate down on an empty table and carefully slid into one of the seats, her green eyes landed suspiciously on an envelope marked "Conversation Starters." Though she was not sure she needed a conversation starter - she would either talk to someone or she wouldn't - the Department Head was remotely curious about what might constitute a "conversation starter." But she didn't have to wonder long as she heard a woman not far from her read aloud from her envelope and Mariel couldn't help but to let out a laugh before delving into one of her little sandwiches. Her opinion on that was fairly well-known, she thought, and if someone didn't already know what she thought, they probably didn't want to.
