And suddenly, the doors to the conference room open, to reveal a fairly young, blond adult male, looking almost effeminate yet at the same time unmistakably boyish. He steps into the room with a swagger somehow confident and perhaps a bit hesitant. "Greetings," he seems to say to the room as a whole, loudly and clearly, though perhaps a bit stiffly, "My name is Alphonse; Alphonse Hummel. Heir to Abvaille Sweets International Incorporated, an international pastry company mostly based in western Europe, though we are, of course, constantly expanding." He seems to have a slight German accent.

As he speaks, he starts walking slowly to the front of the room, placing himself in an unoccupied chair with practiced movements, though quickly developing a much more relaxed posture as he continues speaking. "With approximately 700 million units sold daily, it is obvious that the company is both incredibly successful and popular. This is all thanks to my father, Victor Hummel. In fact," he says, pointing at the selection of snacks. "I am certain that around 30% of all the snacks on that table have been manufactured in one of our various American and Canadian factories."

He leans back, adjusting his glasses slightly. Someone observant would realize his eyes are, for some reason, a vibrant golden color. "However, despite this, I would like you all to treat me as what I truly am - a humble college transfer student blessed with strange powers. I hope my lofty background does not scare any of you, and my only request is that you deal with me according to my actions, and not according to my past - as you should for all humanity."

"Right, because we're supposed to ignore the speech and pretend you're just another person. That should be a breeze."

Externally, Alphonse doesn't seem to miss a beat. "I understand my actions are... contrary, but I'd rather be contrary than to pretend to be someone I am not to such an... interesting group of people. Even for a second."

The man nods.

"All right. I can respect an honest man."

"Thank you, Mr...?" He holds his hand out to shake - the formality of this gesture almost seems odd, as it contrasts with Alphonse' lax posture.

He takes it firmly.

"Mallory Gaspard. A pleasure, sir. You're going to inherit quite the empire some day."

"Of course. I might as well spend my youth away from that, then - I'll have all the time in the world to be a CEO once that fateful day comes.

Say, Mr. Gaspard... That name is familiar to me."
Alphonse stares at the older man intently, as if he was a puzzle to be solved. Of course, the intensity of his gaze is hidden by his glasses.

"Of course. You can't exactly back out once you're in the game, after all."

He cocks his head slightly without changing expression.

"Is it? I have quite a reputation in the right circles, if I may be so arrogant."

"Ah, I see. You are a, er, that sort of professional, then." As the conversation progresses, Alphonse seems to be looking more and more uncomfortable, rubbing his forehead anxiously.

"A thief. There are many things one can find on the internet when bored." He moves his hands through his hair in a flamboyant manner. For some reason, he seems... a little out of it, already. It's been a minute since he gave his speech.

Mallory nods.

The girl just sort of backs away from the weird people, and towards the buffet.

Did she seriously eat all of that already?

Willow snaps back to attention. Sadly, nothing of big note happened while she was dozing off

Well, multiple someone elses arrived, one of which is now looking at the source of the sudden movement while working her way through the buffet.
