Emily, who just had enough with Christy's liberal way of introducing herself, loudly sighed and turned her head away from the disaster that she felt played out before her eyes. Of course, anyone who had taken the opportunity to properly get to know Emily knew that she never had any bad intentions—and her honest approach could be quite amusing—but sometimes, she wasn't really careful with how she presented herself. "[color=SandyBrown]Well, I better get going then[/color]", she said, raising her hand to silence everyone. "[color=SandyBrown]Even though I've already met you and whatnot. I'm Emily, Emily Soto, and I'm just like you. No fun powers going on here, but I reckon I do a pretty darn good job anyway. When I'm not here I'm probably at home taking care of my boys.[/color]" With the last words, her harsh tone softened and she even let out a slight smile. Unlike most of her colleagues, she deliberately avoided any gimmicks, and sank back in her chair as soon as she was done. 

Glancing around the room, Audrey's eyes met Nicholas', who kindly gestured with his hand at her. "[color=gold]Ladies first.[/color]"

Audrey jumped up in her seat and pulled her hair back as if she needed preparation for her presentation. Waving her hand in the air, she started. "[color=plum]Hi there, I'm Audrey. I'm actually [i]so[/i] happy to have you here. Gives all these people someone else to pick on—I'm kinda new too. As you can probably tell, this isn't always the easiest place to work at, but don't be afraid to bite back when they tug at you.[/color]"

Realising that she hadn't said anything about herself, Audrey hastily continued. "[color=plum]I'm just an ordinary girl too, just like Emily, except I haven't got any kids. I love hiking and sailing though, so if you're into that, cool! Uh, I've moved a lot but spent most of my time in Virginia... and I kinda ended up here by accident.[/color]"

Noticing how some people in the room were struggling to hide their condescending smiles, Audrey could see what everyone else was already thinking, but she hoped that they would spare her any remarks asking whether, if by accident, she meant her father. Luckily, before anyone could say anything else, Nicholas cleared his throat. "[color=gold]I'm Nicholas Forster. If you ever want to hear my life story, I'll drag you all the way back to the Little Red Dot in the early 20's[/color]", he smiled slightly. "[color=gold]That is, I was born in Singapore quite a while ago. Yes, yes, I know you're probably wondering why I look like I do, and yes, you're right, I'm indeed a vampire.[/color]"

"[color=plum]Meaning that one [i]does[/i] bite for real, so watch out[/color]", Audrey threw in as she smirked and winked jokingly at a chuckling Nicholas.

"[color=gold]But I wouldn't worry if I were you, Stan. If you're keen on nicknames, you may call me Nick, but I do prefer my full name. I'm an old man, you know, and my dear old mother would be shamed to find out that people didn't take the time to call me by my full name. [/color]" With those words, Nicholas nodded in Skye's direction. "[color=gold]You're next, young lady.[/color]”

"[color=skyblue]Well, you know my name already.[/color]” Nonetheless, the sudden thought hit her that the poor guy was probably flooded with impressions—new names and smiling faces, Christy throwing herself at him and Tom showing off his abilities—so she repeated it again to be sure. The young woman was already taking her commitment as his partner seriously. Rather than recounting anything specific about herself, she launched into explaining that she and Stan would work together. ”[color=skyblue]I don’t know how much you’ve been told, but I’m guessing not a lot. I just heard that you’ll be my partner for a while, so you’ll be stuck with me. It shouldn’t be too bad though, I’m an enhancer, so if we work together we could do some neat stuff. I’m pretty nifty with healing too, so don’t you worry about getting hurt[/color]”, she said, disregarding that a fear of pain was probably not all too developed within a former Marine and cop. ”[color=skyblue]What else… I was born and raised in Connecticut, but now I live just a couple of blocks from here.[/color]”

Although she had decided that that was enough introduction for the day, Skye ended her presentation with a closed-lip smile. ”[color=skyblue]Please don’t hesitate to ask me anything if you’re feeling lost.[/color]”

As soon as Skye had finished her introduction, it did not take long before Audrey looked anticipatively at Ken again. ”[color=plum]So, [i]boss[/i], what’s on the agenda today?[/color]"
