Disappointed at not being able to contact the Administrator, Ashton Andrews went back to his room after receiving the notification of the upcoming tea party mentioned on the task board. After making sure his computers were untouched, he went to his closet and got out a nice formal suit - Paid for with his saved-up salary - whose soft black color was pleasing to Ashton’s eyes. He also had a bowtie of the same color, one that looked embarrassingly juvenile, but hey, he was still a kid. 

Speaking of being a kid, Ashton did not like being disappointed. However, he also knew that life won’t give him whatever he wanted just because he wanted it. So he forgot all about his desire to approach the Administrator and instead decided to focus on the people within his group… Even though a recent notification stated that one of his would-be teammates was a bit of a child hater. Ashton, being a child himself, strongly disliked child haters, especially those who would inflict physical harm on people like him.

Nevertheless, that was a matter to dismiss - He had socialization to do! Ashton wanted friends and so he’d get some from the adults in the NSF by demonstrating his talents and his idealistic conviction and his adorableness. He may have failed in getting the Administrator’s attention, but he can and will show the adults that he was worth bringing into their organization.

Walking to where High Tea was going to be set, plotting out a route to the Emperor’s Garden using both his smartphone and his eyes - The latter took precedence to the former as smartphones were capable of error - Ashton belatedly realized that what he thought was conviction may actually be arrogance, but also knew that such a feeling cannot be corrected in just a few moments - He’d just have to be more self-aware of what he felt and thought from now on.

Upon arrival, Ashton saw that a varied cast of… People were arriving at the gardens as well, including Chris and Chelsea - He was uncomfortable with the former for obvious reasons, while as for the latter, his hormones and the fact that he was attracted to women as well as men made the buxom lady very… Unsettling for him. And of course, it was rumored that Seohyung, the Korean with a dark past, a dark past Ashton was barely able to avoid, was coming and never missed occasions like this.

Upon seeing Seohyung or someone who looked like him arriving at the garden, Ashton waved hi and said in Japanese, “Hajimemashite (Happy to meet you for the first time)! My name is Ashton Andrews-Hyuga - Tech Support Cadet and also a Rigger and Hacker!”
