Among the newest wave of arrivals, which included Kyran the Hammer and Terry Collins from the DMS Mossflower Division, was a large, white haired man, being half-dragged into the Auditorium by Jacob Sullivan of the DIA. He hadn't dressed up ("I'm not making an idiot of myself by dressing in some silly costume!"), but at least he'd decided to come along, and that's what mattered to Jacob. If you asked him, his older brother didn't spend nearly enough time out of the RC these days.

"To see you swamped by little kids?" Jacob offered a cheerful little grin as he stepped round one of the children who'd arrived by now. "Five's sake, you've been way too grumpy lately, Roger. It's not good for anybody, and I miss my big brother actually smiling now and then."

Roger rolled his eyes, but at least he looked a little amused. That was a start. The older Sullivan had joined the PPC three years before Jacob, and with everything the two of them had been through since he probably had the right to occasional grumpiness, but he couldn't help being concerned now and then. Roger soon went off to mingle, though, leaving Jacob to smooth down his uniform - he'd come right off shift without time to change, so he planned on saying he'd dressed up as a Muggle or wizard in disguise - and look round, heading over to Cara with a broad grin when he spotted her by the playpen.

"Cara, hey!" He weaved round kids and adults alike, waving to the Assassin once he had her attention. "Looks like you've got things to a good start; sorry I couldn't be here earlier, TL had me on guard duty up at the Lichen's office. How're you and the birthday girl doing?"
