Department Head Meet and Greet

Banner by Lizasaurus

Welcome new employees! We're extremely excited to welcome you to the Ministry, and here is your chance to meet your boss in a friendly party environment! The Department Heads will be stopping by this area throughout the night to meet their new employees, and to catch up with existing ones of course. If you don't see your new boss just yet, be sure to check back later!

The Department Heads will be gathered next to a stunning fountain with a sculpture of a centaur in the middle, which was commissioned specifically for this event. Please, come on up and say hi!

"Fancy meeting you here." Harmony winked at the statue of the Centaur and then giggled to herself, admiring the craftsmanship of whoever had sculpted this masterpiece. Perhaps she could commission a statue of crups for her office? She did feel as though the little guys were her kindred spirits ever since they'd returned to her department.

Removing a tupperware container of homemade hummus and pita chips from her bag, the red head began to snack, bobbing her head along to the tune of the latest music piece playing. She was completely content and ready to parrrrrty.

Alright. Meet and Greet time! Cale was excited to meet his new employees, AND meet the people he'd be working with on the Department Head team. Anna had tried to tell him a bit about the people he'd be working with, but since she was an Auror, she really only knew a lot about the Level 2 Department Head, and he was gone now, yes? What had happened there? Hmm. There seemed to be a lot of turnaround in the Ministry...

"Hello!" Caleb said happily to the girl who was already there. He assumed she was another department head, like himself - why else would she be there? Maybe she was just admiring the sculpture. Hmmmm...

"I'm Cale Newell. Department Head, Level Six," he said with a grin, holding out his hand for a shake.

Walking through the hall he made his way over to the meet and greet. He'd been there a year and it had felt wonderful to finally be a part of a department head team once again. He'd enjoyed his time as ambassador but actually being the head was a bit more relaxing then constantly being off to care for problems that occurred. It was really hard being away from the family, so being in Britain was fantastic. And now with his new daughter? He was more than grateful to be able to be home so much more!

He'd been almost shocked though when he'd heard how many people had left as department head! Levels 2...4...6...9... Four department heads, just since he'd joined! Becca loved to tease him about it, but he had no idea why it was they'd all left. Even Ella who he'd met just after joining the ministry had gone!

Now to meet all the new employees that had joined! He still hadn't seen any of his own employees, nor the two new ones but hoped to soon!

Emily disliked events like these... balls, and stuff. Where dressing up, dancing and being generally sociable was expected. There was a time when she would ditch these orientation gatherings, or at best, hide in a dark corner with some food and selected company - if any.. but now.. she had 'duties'.

There was no denying everything looked immaculate, and she was excited to be getting back to work, properly, not just creating tasks for herself at home in the break, this is what she wanted. With a few exceptions...
'Meeting' and 'greeting' were not among her strongest talents, and she strongly disliked mingling with people in general. The only consolation was that she wouldn't have to hang around for too long, just long enough to have made a show of it, then, she could grab some food and sit in a corner to observe the proceedings.

Where was Wes? Was he not going to hold her hand through this? Metaphorically speaking of course.. hand holding was.. sensitive and implied caring, which she wasn't a fan of. Emily - scanning the area for any sign of her old boss!man - arrived at the area designated for meeting and greeting beside a sculpture of a centaur, to which Emily failed to comprehend its point. Why. Was. It. There? Instantly, she felt ill at ease in her dress with the shoes and the works... she needed Wes. More so to justify why she had to do this, why was meeting people on level two not an option? Why was this a part of her job description?

Emily acknowledged the other assembled DH's with a curt nod. Yes. She was here. See... witnesses.

Simon took the bait of further activity and ventured out of the entrance hall and into the party proper. His stride might appear purposeful even though he was actually wandering not entirely sure of where he was going. WIth one decision he found himself at the meet and greet that had been set up for employees to meet the various department heads of the ministry.

There were only a few people linger around including one he could actually identify as a head. International Cooperation if he wasn't totally mistaken and he gave the man a nod. However it was the presense of his boss that caught him off guard. Though he supposed just like he was observant of people, so was Emily and the older auror would want to be well informed of who was in charge.

Approaching her, Simon gave her a polite nod as well. "Good evening..." he greeted.

Vincent walked in with a nervous chuckle, he didn't think Rach was going to make it so he decided to just head out and try to meet new people, so why not start with his new boss? His nervousness definitely showed as he looked around he didn't know what to say.

Looking around the room he smiled how nice it is. He smiled to himself until he again saw all of the older people... He seemed like the only teen there and it did kinda scare him... The eighteen year old ran a hand through his hair before walking the rest of the way into the room, hoping to run into someone willing to talk to him.

Following someone that reminded her of her brother, Roxanne reached the area set aside for the department head meet and greet just in time to hear said brother clone introduce himself as Cale Newell to Harmony. Well, he seemed a little too excited to be here tonight. But since he hadn't been talking to her, she squeezed past them and dodged past Gidyun with a nod. And almost immediately regretted it as she was confronted with the other reason she wasn't in a very sociable mood this evening. Not that she begrudged the younger woman her promotion or blamed Wes' exit on her. Nor did she think that Emily would be awful at her new job. Quite the opposite, actually. Just that Roxanne would've quite liked that job herself. Working in Enviro. wasn't all it was cracked up to be, as anyone outside the department seemed to think that they only dealt in plants. Period. And explaining that, no, they were much more than that was getting OLD fast. Not to mention, she was missing the action the MLE saw on a regular basis. Which shouldn't surprise anyone that knew her.

Anyway, after giving the centaur fountain/sculpture a 'Really?' look, Roxanne leaned against the wall and waited for someone to approach her.

Standing around and waiting to 'meet' and 'greet' people she knew, among those that she didn't was already boring her into a coma. Emily stood patiently, almost statue-like herself, until one of her own approached.
"Bennett," she greeted, with a dip of the head - though it wasn't quite a nod or a bow, just a small gesture of respect. ", welcome back to the Ministry, and Happy New Year," she greeted, see, she could do this. Be nice and inviting and such. Could she go now?

It was then that they were joined by more people. One she didn't know that looked lost... fortunately it wasn't a new recruit of hers. That much she could ascertain from having read the applications. This one, was not MLE. Then of course there was Roxanne.

"Roxanne," Emily acknowledged out loud, seeing as she hadn't received so much as a welcome or hello from her, not that she expected one, but for the sake of professionalism and all. They were familiar, not that anyone would have been able to tell.

Another employee orientation meant another year for the Ministry! Lourdes was excited, especially since they've been gone from work for the Christmas break. She wanted to get to know her employees more and, most especially, make her new employees feel welcomed to the place. Her first destination for the night was the meet and greet place, which was near the sculpture of a centaur and the fountain. The centaur looked weird, but it didn't bother Lourdes. Maybe it was some sort of design for the others? She didn't understand, but she didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

The place looked great. Lourdes admired it as she made her way to meet her employees. She recognised the other people in here, especially her fellow department heads. "Good evening, everyone," she greeted them and smiled. The new department heads were here too. Too bad Wes, Isobel, and Gabriela had to leave. They were missing all of this! The new ones weren't that bad, were they? Lourdes sure hoped they weren't.

His son still bouncing and making 'da da da da' noises - his first were were definitely going to be dada or daddy at this point - Aron made his way towards the rest of the gathered Department Heads with a plate stacked with goodies from the buffet table. This was the incredible thing about these baby backpacks, you had both hands free to do things while they literally just hung there like moss on the branch of a tree.

He wasn't too familiar, and therefore not friendly, with a majority of the other Heads since he had only worked side-by-side with a few of them. Like Harmony head-in-the-clouds-hippie Skylark. He was going to have to touch base with her about...things. Especially after some digging he had done during the holidays. Nodding his head to everyone he passed, Aron couldn't help but wonder if Roxanne was trying to dress to impress someone. Did she have her eye on one of their fellow heads so she needed to flaunt a few features? He ponder this as he gave her a small smirk in greeting before finding a spot next to the centaur statue to lean on. "Good evening, hope the holidays treated you lot well enough."

Oh look, there was the new Head Cabbage!

"Well, look who we have here," he said while giving the new Law Enforcement Head a quick raise of his glass in congratulations. In fact...

"I propose we all toast, to the start of a new year and may it be better than the last," he said with his glass still raised. Could they tell he was in a good mood? Fatherhood had done him well. "I'd suggest we toast to all those heading departments, but by my count we are still missing a few."

Ah...there was another head Simon knew, having been a co-worker before her promotion. He gave her a dip of the head since Roxanne appeared to be staying back at the moment out of the clump of people milling around. She was perhaps trying to gather those from her own level to her separately...or maybe simply not a fan of being here. He didn't swell on the matter though, instead listening to his boss' acknowledgement instead.

SPOILER!!: Emily and Aron

"Thank you. And Happy New Year to you as well," he said as he returned the greeting. Another year of new beginnings, the idea momentarily making his wonder if they had any new YATI in the mix of new employees in the department. Simon almost asked Emily but stopped himself.

His attention was taken however as Aron made his appearance as well offering a toast to those gathered. Simon would have raised his glass, had he grabbed one in passing, instead answering his words. "Always a good wish," he agreed. Whether or not anyone of them had the luck to fulfill it was another matter that had to be waited upon.

Yes they were missing a few department heads, he nodded quietly in agreement, including La-- Something in that train of thought made him look back at Emily. She was here in this place looking incredibly uncomfortable and Wes wasn't.

Could it be?

She should probably put her hummus away now, yes? She didn't exactly have enough to share with everyone and the thought of someone being left out weighed heavy on her heart. She couldn't sport a harshed mellow at an event such as this, there were positive impressions to be made. And so the red head carefully replaced the lid on the Tupperware and stored it safely in her bag. A snack for later, no doubt.

And then there was another department head and Harmony grinned her most fabulous grin, sandwiching the man's hand between her own. "Hello, Cale Newell. I'm Harmony Skylark, Creatures department head." And she locked eyes with him for a moment before closing her own and trying to get a read on his aura. His was a light pale yellow and Harmony's eyes fluttered open once again. "The force is strong with you, Cale." She mused.

Several others arrived and their lack of greetings made the red head frown slightly. That wasn't exactly polite, now was it? Harmony gave peace signs to all three in greeting but made no effort to speak to them. They would introduce themselves to her if and when they were so inclined.

And then there was another, a pleasant woman who oozed positive vibes. Harmony smiled at her and waved goofily. "Good evening."

Aron had a child? Harmony's smile widened considerably and she wandered over to him, eyes on the little boy. "He's lovely." His son, that is. It was his son, was it not? They had a similar way about them. "I was not aware we could bring children to this event. Had I known, I would have brought Daisy, my dog." Grrrrin. "She's always been like a daughter to me."

Ellis Recard had been at the ministry a while now and he had still enjoyed these things. They were parties after all and he was always at home during a party. The Quidditch personal relations worker made his way into area hosting the event near the weird centaur fountain and found a glass of champagne from a nearby table.

It was strange being here after the holidays, a lot of stuff had changed. His brother's longtime girlfriend was no longer a Department Head here having moved to work at the French Ministry with Armen and Emily, a woman he sort of fancied now, was also big and bad in the Ministry.

Her hard work and dedication he had once deemed strange seemed to have payed off. And she was the target he was searching for. Like a well aimed hex, Ellis found his way to the burnette dressed up nicely in her evening attire and offered her one of the flutes in his hands. "Excuse me, Miss Brown, I know you're not mym department head but would you, as my superior, like another drink?" He gave her a devilish smile and waited for her to take it. The former Quidditch keeper didn't pay the other people around him any mind.

She looked beautiful tonight, that was for sure. It made him miss the fact that he hadn't hung out with her much in a while--work had had him busy for once.

Maybe it was some sort of design for the others? She didn't understand, but she didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

The place looked great. Lourdes admired it as she made her way to meet her employees. She recognised the other people in here, especially her fellow department heads. "Good evening, everyone," she greeted them and smiled. The new department heads were here too. Too bad Wes, Isobel, and Gabriela had to leave. They were missing all of this! The new ones weren't that bad, were they? Lourdes sure hoped they weren't.


Emily recognised this one as being from Games and Sports... not only because she payed attention during the last orientation - which wasn't too bad an occasion - but also because she had snooped around on her level before. Well not snooped, just put their coffee cart to good use.
"Evening," she managed to reply, though she still felt and no doubt looked, out of place.


SPOILER!!: Aron, Simon and Harmony

He wasn't too familiar, and therefore not friendly, with a majority of the other Heads since he had only worked side-by-side with a few of them. Like Harmony head-in-the-clouds-hippie Skylark. He was going to have to touch base with her about...things. Especially after some digging he had done during the holidays. Nodding his head to everyone he passed, Aron couldn't help but wonder if Roxanne was trying to dress to impress someone. Did she have her eye on one of their fellow heads so she needed to flaunt a few features? He ponder this as he gave her a small smirk in greeting before finding a spot next to the centaur statue to lean on. "Good evening, hope the holidays treated you lot well enough."

Oh look, there was the new Head Cabbage!

"Well, look who we have here," he said while giving the new Law Enforcement Head a quick raise of his glass in congratulations. In fact...

"I propose we all toast, to the start of a new year and may it be better than the last," he said with his glass still raised. Could they tell he was in a good mood? Fatherhood had done him well. "I'd suggest we toast to all those heading departments, but by my count we are still missing a few."

He didn't swell on the matter though, instead listening to his boss' acknowledgement instead.

SPOILER!!: Emily and Aron




"Thank you. And Happy New Year to you as well," he said as he returned the greeting. Another year of new beginnings, the idea momentarily making his wonder if they had any new YATI in the mix of new employees in the department. Simon almost asked Emily but stopped himself.

His attention was taken however as Aron made his appearance as well offering a toast to those gathered. Simon would have raised his glass, had he grabbed one in passing, instead answering his words. "Always a good wish," he agreed. Whether or not anyone of them had the luck to fulfill it was another matter that had to be waited upon.

Yes they were missing a few department heads, he nodded quietly in agreement, including La-- Something in that train of thought made him look back at Emily. She was here in this place looking incredibly uncomfortable and Wes wasn't.

Could it be?

And so the red head carefully replaced the lid on the Tupperware and stored it safely in her bag. A snack for later, no doubt.

And then there was another department head and Harmony grinned her most fabulous grin, sandwiching the man's hand between her own. "Hello, Cale Newell. I'm Harmony Skylark, Creatures department head." And she locked eyes with him for a moment before closing her own and trying to get a read on his aura. His was a light pale yellow and Harmony's eyes fluttered open once again. "The force is strong with you, Cale." She mused.

Several others arrived and their lack of greetings made the red head frown slightly. That wasn't exactly polite, now was it? Harmony gave peace signs to all three in greeting but made no effort to speak to them. They would introduce themselves to her if and when they were so inclined.

And then there was another, a pleasant woman who oozed positive vibes. Harmony smiled at her and waved goofily. "Good evening."

Aron had a child? Harmony's smile widened considerably and she wandered over to him, eyes on the little boy. "He's lovely." His son, that is. It was his son, was it not? They had a similar way about them. "I was not aware we could bring children to this event. Had I known, I would have brought Daisy, my dog." Grrrrin. "She's always been like a daughter to me."





Aron's arrival was met with grin, finalllyyy, someone she could for want of a better term 'hang' with over here. The other DH's were... not so much her type of people. Aron was. He was a good dude, and an epic ninja, he'd make for good company with this thing. Minus the baby. Why did he have a baby? Emily observed the child bouncing the way it did. It was cute, if you were into that sort of thing.
"More like, look what the cat dragged in?" she replied, playfully, though her tone hinted at a serious note. Few people were pleased with her promotion, or so, that was certainly the impression she got. Not that it mattered, everyone was entitled to their own opinion, and at the end of the day, very few mattered enough for her to care.

A toast? ...

Emily didn't have a glass, and was almost thankful for it, even if Simon - glass-less too - indulged the man with a supportive comment. While Aron felt comfortable at the event to do so, she did not, so no, no spontaneous glass raising from her. It was also a good thing she wasn't drinking yet, because it would have been likely she'd gag at some point.

Say what now lady?

One of those too-happy people she spied had made her way over. Good going Aron, didn't he know babies were magnets for loony people and women in general. Not to say that the department head was loony, just, she wasn't particularly ordinary, now was she?
"Evening," Emily offered her with a small smile and nod before taking the smallest of steps back.


SPOILER!!: Ellis

It was strange being here after the holidays, a lot of stuff had changed. His brother's longtime girlfriend was no longer a Department Head here having moved to work at the French Ministry with Armen and Emily, a woman he sort of fancied now, was also big and bad in the Ministry.

Her hard work and dedication he had once deemed strange seemed to have payed off. And she was the target he was searching for. Like a well aimed hex, Ellis found his way to the burnette dressed up nicely in her evening attire and offered her one of the flutes in his hands. "Excuse me, Miss Brown, I know you're not mym department head but would you, as my superior, like another drink?" He gave her a devilish smile and waited for her to take it. The former Quidditch keeper didn't pay the other people around him any mind.

She looked beautiful tonight, that was for sure. It made him miss the fact that he hadn't hung out with her much in a while--work had had him busy for once.


She needed a means of escape, or a distraction, and she got one...

Emily heard his voice before she saw his face, but she was already smiling. Turning away from the group some more, she spied the former Quidditch star, and observed his handsome attire. He scrubbed up well. "Thank you, Mister Recard," she greeted as she accepted the flute. He was as charming as she remembered him, owing to the fact that she hadn't been able to enjoy his company in some time, such a shame.
"Superior... to you?" she echoed with a light silvery chuckle. "Hardly." Even if she had a new title, new badge, her own office.. and the responsibilities that came with it, it didn't for a second make her more superior to anyone, let alone Ellis.

Taking the opportunity to distance herself from the meet and greet - seeing as she'd done a fair job of greeting and such thus far, Emily took another step in Ellis' direction.
"Enjoyed your holidays? I trust you've been well?" He looked well, but she was beginning to get the impression that he always did, and likely always would. It suit his nature, life of the party, suave and charming, it really was no wonder he had made it big in the tabloids, what with his female fantroop.

There was something about the way in which he seemed to be focusing on her, that piqued her curiosity. Considering his own department head was present, oughtn't he have offered her a drink, too?

Was that a peace sign that woman was sending his way?

Simon couldn't be sure as he spied her across the room, no real indication of who she was. Department head or employee either or didn't matter to the young man. Perhaps he would introduce himself later on to find out. Or perhaps not, the auror mused to himself as she seemed to be acting quite peculiar.

And he wasn't the only who taken aback by the woman and her antics as Emily offered her a simple greeting before a minimalistic escape beside him. Yes...Simon did notice his boss's small movement, taking it in stride as a usual mannerism.

RECARD!?

Simon gave him...Mr Recard...another look and now registered some slight similarity to the former ministry worker of the same name. But thankfully his personality appeared far more bearable then the earlier counterpart. The auror shook it off not caring much for dwelling on the comparison, especially when there were other matters at hand. Like confronting the news of change.

"I guess congratulations are in order..." he mused looking back over at Emily.

Well this was going to be weird. Physically, Wes was caught in that awkward 'I'm not really employed here anymore but I still have to train my replacement' stage, but mentally, he was already all moved to Australia. In fact, his suits and most of his dress clothes were already there. So even though this fancy schmancy part--- excuse him, ball ---was going to no fun, at least he had an excuse to wear jeans.

There was no denying everything looked immaculate, and she was excited to be getting back to work, properly, not just creating tasks for herself at home in the break, this is what she wanted. With a few exceptions...
'Meeting' and 'greeting' were not among her strongest talents, and she strongly disliked mingling with people in general. The only consolation was that she wouldn't have to hang around for too long, just long enough to have made a show of it, then, she could grab some food and sit in a corner to observe the proceedings.

Where was Wes? Was he not going to hold her hand through this? Metaphorically speaking of course.. hand holding was.. sensitive and implied caring, which she wasn't a fan of. Emily - scanning the area for any sign of her old boss!man - arrived at the area designated for meeting and greeting beside a sculpture of a centaur, to which Emily failed to comprehend its point. Why. Was. It. There? Instantly, she felt ill at ease in her dress with the shoes and the works... she needed Wes. More so to justify why she had to do this, why was meeting people on level two not an option? Why was this a part of her job description?

Emily acknowledged the other assembled DH's with a curt nod. Yes. She was here. See... witnesses.
Ah, there was his replacement now. "Emily," Wes greeted her in a low voice, popping up just behind her shoulder as though he were there all along. He definitely wasn't still being paranoid and patrolling around the perimeter of the place, nope. "How's it going?"

I.E. Had she seen any of their MLErs and/or told them thiiiiiiings yet?

It may have been a little immature of her, but Roxanne was not going to be nice unless she absolutely had to be this evening. I.E., if one of her employees showed up. So, the only response Emily got was a nod. The same thing for Aron, only instead of nod, he got the stink eye. Really? A toast? She didn't even have a drink on her, but even if she did, she wouldn't have raised it to that. There was no way this year was going to be better than last, and she had given up hoping for such a long time ago.

Ah, there was Wes. If she could, she would leave right after saying bye to him. Hell, if Greingoth was still Minister, she would've been able to. But not with this Minister, whom, now that she thought of it, didn't even have the decency to show up himself. Anyway, focus Carter, focus. She approached the former MLE head, stopping right beside him. "I just wanted to say, you'll be missed around here." And she really meant it, too.

All these people chatting with each other! Jory felt quite out of place and awkward and not to mention nervous. He was sure most of the persons here were Department Heads because this was where the Heads met the newbies.

How in the world was he to recognise his Head? Best make his presence known, right? Jory cleared his throat. "Good evening,'' he said in general. Good! He sounded composed. Just needed to keep that up.

"I don't think animals are allowed at a function like this..." he said, trailing off a bit to stop himself from entirely finishing his thought about sanitation and the like. Although the image of a dog peeing on someone's leg was amusing and would certainly bring some life to the party.

Everyone was so bloody stiff and serious! Or grumpy. There were a lot of grumpy people here this evening.

Could he elbow her? Would she go all Auror on him and whack him back with her fist? He knew how women in MLE could be with their personal space and all that. He would have risked it had it not been for the flailing baby attached to him.

"Would have to be a darn strong cat to drag you in," he replied with a wink instead of said elbow jab.

And since Emily now seemed to be a bit preoccupied with her friiiiiiiiend - not to mention only Simon seemed to really get into the whole toast concept - he was going to mingle a bit more over this way.

Also no need to rub it into the Auror's face that he and his department had out ninja-ed them last year.

GOOD thing he moved to mingle or else he would have missed his bro! Aron also highly approved of the man's choice of clothing.

"Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes," Aron grinned as he made his way over to Wes. "How are you liking the homeland?" Meaning Australia since that was where Aron was from.

Ah! Aron recognized this one from her application. "Miss Fayard, good evening," he said with a diplomatic raise of the hand. "Aron Ashburry-Hawthorne." AKA your new boss.

Aron's comment elicited a grin, see, this is why he was good company. He could joke around but wasn't quite so insane as to be a crazy dog aura reading specimen of a human being... that hippy stuff.

Emily returned the wink, but didn't return conversation. There were things she wanted to discuss with him, but now was hardly the time or place and it seemed they were being drawn away to different groups. There would be time for colluding and conspiring later.

"I guess congratulations are in order..." he mused looking back over at Emily.


Oh? He was still here... hovering. Cool, he could suit himself. Emily had been too focused on Recard to notice that he was actually listening in on their conversation. Not that it was particularly private, but it was between them.

"I guess they are," she agreed, though not quite in the celebratory mood. Her single objective for the night was to keep sane and just get through it. The looks, the glares, the welcomes and congratulations ad everything in between. It had been beginning to look bleak, until now. Ellis would keep her sane, maybe even motivate her to be sociable.

Hearing Wes' voice from behind her did wonders to put her at ease. There! People could stop giving her looks and indirectly blaming her for his departure. He wasn't gone yet, he was here!
"Things are, slow but good," she replied coolly, not skipping a beat, "I was wondering when you'd show up." Whether he'd been here for some time or whether he did just turn up, she didn't know, but at least his presence was known.

Of course, now, Roxanne decided to open her mouth...

Emily refrained from commenting, she was not going to behave like a child in front of her colleagues. But she did feel the same way. She would miss Wes, and his leadership... under which she had learnt a great deal.

And then speaking of... Emily exchanged a look with Wes and cocked her head toward a lost looking soul. She recognised him from his application... it was that Stonewall kid.

How in the world was he to recognise his Head? Best make his presence known, right? Jory cleared his throat. "Good evening,'' he said in general. Good! He sounded composed. Just needed to keep that up.


Stepping forward, Emily extended her hand for a shake, "Good evening, you must be Jory Stonewall..." must be? of course he was, she knew that, she knew things. "My name's Emily Browne, your Department Head," she introduced herself, "welcome to the Ministry of Magic." And Merlin... that in itself seemed like a lot of talking. She should stop that. Simplify.

She didn't even have a drink on her, but even if she did, she wouldn't have raised it to that. There was no way this year was going to be better than last, and she had given up hoping for such a long time ago.

Ah, there was Wes. If she could, she would leave right after saying bye to him. Hell, if Greingoth was still Minister, she would've been able to. But not with this Minister, whom, now that she thought of it, didn't even have the decency to show up himself. Anyway, focus Carter, focus. She approached the former MLE head, stopping right beside him. "I just wanted to say, you'll be missed around here." And she really meant it, too.
Awwwwwhat. This was one of the many reasons why Wes hadn't wanted to come to this silly event. Sappiness. He couldn't handle it. Everyone knew he was a big grizzly bear at heart.

"Hey, thanks Roxanne," he put a bit paw hand out and touched her lightly on the shoulder. "Australia's just a floo away, though, if you guys ever need me." And if he ever needed to escape a house full of children and a hormonal wife, he would come work for Emily for free. He still knew all the wards to sneak back into his own office.

GOOD thing he moved to mingle or else he would have missed his bro! Aron also highly approved of the man's choice of clothing.

"Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes," Aron grinned as he made his way over to Wes. "How are you liking the homeland?" Meaning Australia since that was where Aron was from.
"Aron," Wes bro-nodded to his brutha from anotha level. "I love it. It's great to be back." He'd grown up there and wanted his kids to have the same experience, so it was refreshing, really. "Will you keep an eye on," he tilted his head toward Emily, "while I'm gone? And promise not to blow up any more labs?"

Not that Emily needed the extra eye, heh.

Of course, now, Roxanne decided to open her mouth...

Emily refrained from commenting, she was not going to behave like a child in front of her colleagues. But she did feel the same way. She would miss Wes, and his leadership... under which she had learnt a great deal.

And then speaking of... Emily exchanged a look with Wes and cocked her head toward a lost looking soul. She recognised him from his application... it was that Stonewall kid.

"Eh, I've been around," was all Wes had to say about his whereabouts. Here in body but not mind, clearly.

Ah, there was one of their new recruits now! He offered the lad a handshake too. "And I'm your outgoing Department Head, Wes Ferguson. No pressure or anything, but you're about to join the best damn department in this entire Ministry."

Smoothing the material of her black dress, Chelsea made her way toward the centaur statue, though it was crowded with people. Not that she minded, because she didn't. That was the purpose of this ball, right? To meet people and get familiar with your new job. Or something like that.

Although she was confident and lacked the usual nerves people felt in these situations, Chelsea was new and young, and she wouldn't have been surprised if she stuck out like a sore thumb because of that. Hmm.. now where could she find her boss?

Emily returned the wink, but didn't return conversation. There were things she wanted to discuss with him, but now was hardly the time or place and it seemed they were being drawn away to different groups. There would be time for colluding and conspiring later.




Oh? He was still here... hovering. Cool, he could suit himself. Emily had been too focused on Recard to notice that he was actually listening in on their conversation. Not that it was particularly private, but it was between them.

"I guess they are," she agreed, though not quite in the celebratory mood. Her single objective for the night was to keep sane and just get through it. The looks, the glares, the welcomes and congratulations ad everything in between. It had been beginning to look bleak, until now. Ellis would keep her sane, maybe even motivate her to be sociable.


SPOILER!!: Wes and Roxanne

Okay it was time for Simon to feel a little awkward in his surroundings. Especially as Wes seemed to completely miss his presence in the exchange, not to mention Emily had other people to talk to. Maybe he should let those supposed to be greeting to their duty. Surely he'd see his own boss plenty of times once the ministry actually opened back up for real work.

"Best of luck to you, Wes," he said, taking the hint before turning to Emily to say something. However the scene was changed to introductions to a new employee.

A young new employee...possible YATI.

"Good evening," he greeted out of being polite rather then just leave. "Simon Bennett...auror. But you'll have to excuse me." Because he was going to leave the ingoing and outgoing MLE heads to do their greeting. "Wes...Emily..." each got a nod." And on that note, Simon took his leave and headed towards the main seating area.
