Maria bounded towards the conference room, a slight skip in her step. She liked attending the meetings for the new recruits to see if any of them were chatty and to pick up the latest gossip on the arrivals fresh off the boat or however they'd arrived at the bureau. Maria tended to make enemies quickly, but none of that mattered out in the field. Though she had many people who at least disliked her, most everyone who had ever been in a fight with her had developed a grudging respect for her skill in combat, if not for her overly talkative personality and her inability to keep secrets.

As she stepped through the threshold, a few glances were exchanged by the people and various creatures that had been at the Bureau for longer than two weeks. Maria gave a jaunty wave to all of them and sat down in a chair towards the edge of the room, keeping her eyes trained on Omega and her ears open. Scanning the room quickly, she noted that there was a witch or something along those lines in the audience, as well as a ghoul and a pretty red-haired girl with a white tiger at her side. Maria gave herself an internal grin. Oh, this would be great.
