Charles Hollingberry EraAll historical records pertaining to Ministry of Magic RPG under Minister for Magic, Charles Hollingberry [IC March 2097 - present; OOC November 2018 - present]
The Dartmoor Quidditch Stadium has been decorated with levitating clusters of candles and banners hung among the stands to celebrate another successful season for the British and Irish Quidditch League. A variety of numbered round tables covered with white tablecloths and elaborate colored glass centerpieces showing classic Quidditch moves are scattered throughout the pitch.
Place cards with each guest’s name are arranged in rows at a rectangular table near the entrance, indicating at which of the many round tables the Quidditch players, staff, and guests in attendance should sit. Take your place card, take your seat. Dinner will be served shortly.
Late, but HEYHO, we've been here all along, ladeda
Arts TRANSPONSTER!
Anna had been sitting at her allotted seat aaaallll this time. With the friend she had brought along, too, mind you, hence her not leaving them alone to come and fraternise with the enemy mingle.
BUT after the speech, the Tutshill Tornado's Chaser thought it was a good time to finally walk around and check on her boyfriend see how things were going at other tables.
You know the funniest thing about all this? That her boyfriend worked for the same team as Zoryn. That had always, ALWAYS amused Anna to no end. Did Zoryn know? Probably not, otherwise Anna's ears would've already been bleeding from the woman's yapping and complaining.
Anywho, today was the day, apparently, and so this Chaser finally made her way to the Falcon's table. Just in time to hear Kalen saying something about their clean playing for that season. "You might want to constantly remind her of that." She said casually yet smirking, leaning over his shoulder and gesturing towards Zoryn as if she was trying to say that just to Kalen, but really, her volume was loud enough for all the table to hear. Woopsie?
Teehee.
"Hey, Rylee and Theo! Nice to see you! And you too, Zoryn." Truthfully. Anna actually didn't have hard feelings towards the crazy woman.
Although usually loud and extremely gregarious, tonight Józef was a little muted. A mid-season transfer hadn't exactly given him the most time to get ingratiated with many players from other teams, and a part of him still felt like a fan.
Which he was NOT. He was the Caerphilly Catapults Keeper! Merlin's underpants!
Obviously, his easy smile was in place, and his extremely laid back attitude sCREAMED that he belonged. At least, that's what it was trying to scream. They wouldn't be able to tell he was nervous, right? No way.
Except Candi, of course, sat in the chair next to him - she would definitely be able to tell, but as his stylist and friend he didn't mind that so much. In fact, he couldn't think of anyone else he would rather have brought to this event. Well, maybe there was one person, but that was a person who probably wouldn't have wanted to come and it would have been weird if he'd asked them and BESIDES it would have ended up awkward, really.
But things couldn't have been less awkward than they were with Candi, because she practically glowed in these kind of situations and made him look even BETTER than he made himself. She really was a gem.
And she looked really hot, too.
"We should go mingle," he said to her, as the speech finished. Whilst not making any effort to move from his seat.

She was sparkling like a gem tonight too.
Having discovered a few sequined textiles recently, the majority of her designs had included at least small elements of it. Tonight, however, she had made her entire ensemble out of a baby pink variety and turned it sporty by sewing a hot pant rather than keeping it in a skirt. They, of course, coordinate in some way, but it was all in the subtle touches so that Józef's big debut into this aspect of British Quidditch Society was uniquely his. She had originally thought about utilizing his team's colors, but the visual was entirely too holly jolly season as well as a bit too on the nose given the event.
Clapping at the appropriate times, Candela couldn't stop her mind from wandering to little Elio and wondering what he was up to right now...and if he had found the little art project supply she had left him to help occupy the time and not miss her too much since tonight had originally been her turn for story time before lights out. "Hmmm?" Her lashes fluttered as she turned her head to look at the man of the hour Hands lowering to her lap, she titled her head and her eyes perked up a bit as the gentle roar of chatter gained ground. "Oh, yes. We should. Time to expand and accelerate your networking...with a bit more urgency," she smiled wide while giving his knee a couple of affectionate pats under the table for encouragement. "Your teammates and coach are a natural must...but also..." She paused and tapped the index finger of her left hand along each of her fingers as she counted while looking about the room. "Peggy Laplace...and Lucas Hawthorne. They helped make your transfer smooth and possible, so you ought to offer them a bit of your time."
She had done a bit of research on those in attendance so she knew what she was talking about. Something that had become second nature being Sophia Knight's personal assistant and helping navigate through the various industry parties and socialite functions they attended.
"Is there anyone else here you attended Hogwarts with? We should say hello there too."
There was your checklist, Kowalski. Let's get to it!

Rylee gave a soft laugh in reply to Kalen's greeting. Why he seemed so surprised that she knew who he was, was beyond her. Wasn't it a teams job to know everyone on the team? Mascot suit on or off? "Thank you. It means that we're a great team and we play our best together." That's what she thought anyhow. Either way she was going to keep up the hard work and make sure she continued to give it her all as Seeker for their team.
Just as she began to eat, Ry heard someone say her name. Lifting her gaze upwards from her plate and setting her fork down, she smiled brightly when she saw who it was. "Anna! It's nice to see you too. How have you been?" Despite playing against one another on opposing teams every so often, it wasn't everyday that she got a chance to talk to Anna. Sad but true. Really she should true to fix that sometime soon.

No offense, but Zoryn kind of wished that Kalen did choke on his tongue. Not because she was a proponent of violence (debatable), but because she thought it would be VERY funny if he did. Everyone here looked like they could use a good laugh (or seventeen). This place was far too stuffy. Like a pair of stale knickers, honestly. ”Of course it is,” she offered Brody a dazzling smile in reply. ”Nice to meet you too. My wife, Faith, will be here soon, I’ll have to introduce you two.” Emphasis on wife because (a) she loved flaunting and (b) she wanted Brody and Kalen to know they were in a safe space here. Among friends. ”I’ll leave you lovebirds to it.” There was a glass of firewhisky calling her name though Kalen looked like he needed it more than anyone else.
Besides, Rylee had her attention now and Zoryn was nothing if not a giver. ”Ugh, I hate routine, don’t you?” Redundancy is truly SUCH a travesty. ”Oh, you know, just working on my books, no biggie.” Totally a biggie. Not that she was writing it herself, but ghostwriting was suuuuuper exhausting too. Sometimes you just want to vacation in Cancun. Zor would have gone into more detail, but that one lady (Peggy, who Zoryn totally recognized as her fan from the Wizarding War - they say imitation is the HIGHEST form of flattery) was giving some speech now.
Blah. Blah. Blah. Words and stuff. Could she, like, do this at two times speed or something? Like, no offense, but Zoryn wasn’t interested in whatever the Kestrels and Magpies had—OMG. THEY WON! THEY WON! THE FALCONS WON!!!!!!!!!! TAYO, DID YOU HEAR THAT THEY WON AN AWARD FOR—
………. Fewest fouls?
.....................
”HA! That can’t be right,” she blurted out the words before she had a chance to stop herself. This was Cameroni’s influence, wasn’t it? In fact, Z was in such a state of shock that she hadn’t even noticed former high school teammate Max Carden #4 (Józef) slip into the banquet hall.
She did hear Anna’s snide remakr though. Unfortunately. ”Oh, I didn’t know children were allowed to—Oh, Anna! Almost didn’t recognize you. My bad." She punctated her words with an innocent smile. Super charming.
You know who did have hard feelings? Zoryn.

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Brody couldn’t help but be so very disappointed that Kalen hadn’t gotten the chance to correct Zoryn. He noted that it wasn’t from the lack of trying. Then another thought occurred: maybe everyone would eventually wind up thinking that he indeed was Kalen’s boyfriend; and since they knew Kalen had a girlfriend, this would all make for some delicious drama. Brody smirked at that reasoning. What fun this might all turn out to be.
Brody’s interest perked up when Zoryn mentioned her wife. These were definitely the people he could bond with faster. “I’ll be thrilled to meet Faith,’’ the young man replied enthusiastically. He was quite sure that Faith was as pretty as Zoryn. “See you around then.’’ He gave the woman a cheerful smile, simply because he found that he liked her off the pitch as much as on the pitch.
He caught Kalen’s look, smiled still then turned his attention to Ms. Peggy. Kalen looked so flustered. It was all so adorable. Brody applauded along with the rest of the gathering at the appropriate times, having paid careful attention to the awardees. Soon enough it was time to dig into a delicious meal. Before he knew it, Kalen was bumping into him; not that he minded. “No worries,’’ he replied smoothly, letting his date snag the dish of rolls. He himself began selecting food to stack onto his plate. While he did so, he listened to all of the chatter going on. Here was a great opportunity to learn about the others whom he didn’t know that well.
The Coordinator had already dived into his own plate when Kalen directed the conversation on him. He quickly swallowed a mouthful of food then waved a hand airily. “Oh, don’t you bother with my boyfriend here. Pushing papers isn’t all that important.” Merlin knew the filing would be the death of him. There was more to be said but Kalen’s loud girlfriend arrived. Brody went back to eating.

”Must you –“ Kalen started to say in regards to Brody's boyfriend comment just as Anna’s hand landed on his shoulder. Simultaneously Anna was loudly stage-whispering in his ear about Chosen. Oh right… Anna’s mortal enemy or whatnot. He tried very hard to keep out of things like that…well, truthfully, it was more like Kalen forgot about things like that. After all, he really didn’t have enemies. Or nemesises (nemeses?). Or whatever you wanted to call them. He usually got along with people.
But that really wasn’t on his mind because dear Harry Potter – had Anna heard Brody? What was she going to do if she did? Or worse, what was she going to do to Brody? Kalen was going to burst a blood vessel with how red his face was. All he could think was he should have stayed home. Or brought along a calming draft…because yes, Anna could easily beat him (and probably Brody) up if she wanted to. The thought made him fidget in his seat.

”I agree Rylee,” Kalen said trying to remain civil AND also move the conversation along before Anna could latch onto the boyfriend comment and tear him a new on. If only he had his mother’s abilities to remain calm and level headed. Instead, he was quickly getting flustered and when he got flustered, he got quiet. He glanced up at Anna and then back to Brody, uncertain if he should say something to Chosen who was being a bit snappish. Anna, he decided after a moment’s deliberation, was capable of fighting her own battles. And if she wasn’t, well, she had started this one with her teasing.
””Anna – this is Brody. I know you two haven’t met yet,” Not for Kalen’s lack of trying mind you. And like the last time he introduced Anna to a friend, he left off the title of 'girlfriend.' Not because he was dense and didn't think of it, but rather because Brody knew who Anna was (in theory) and Anna knew of Brody. Kalen wasn't exactly a well of secrets. ”Brody, can you please pass the butter?” he asked because he didn't know what else to do besides eat. And well, Anna loved her food. ”Anna, pull up a seat and join us.”
Well now things were getting busier and Theo was even beginning to see some familiar faces like for one the, always loud and always quick to point out anything to do with his hair, Zoryn was here. He quickly moved his hands to his hair to straight it out because ruffles were the devil.
"My hair says hello Zoryn and asks for a restraining order"
His head went to right to Falcon wonderboy which for who knows what reason. Theo was surprised was here. He earned it but still surprising. And another member of the team was here. Nice Nice. Rylee was here.
"Oh you know. in over my head and everything but so far no regrets. Even had to hire a nanny and i still feel like i get no sleep" He did get to witness some fun with Anna. Hi Anna and Zoryn. "Anyway Hi Anna. Hows life been treating you?" Oh speech time....ok its your standard basic speech and he though it was great...yada yada Kestrels win ok moving on...WAIT WAIT A SECOND THEY WON SOMETHING...the award for fewest fouls....that was not nearly as cool as least number of goals but he guessed its something. He turned to look at Zoryn in shock...as a trophy drifted on over for him to take.
Guess you could say Cameron was the reason why this happened since he cant think of any other reason.
Wild.
