Edward had gathered everyone together in the courthouse for the purpose to make friends with everyone, and perhaps make everyone else get along. Food was gathered neatly on a table. "I've gathered you all here today to socialize." Some were in for a surprise, considering Edward had not made the intentions clear. The murmurs of whether it was a meeting or not had shushed at that, and he was sure a few had slipped away. How amusing - he wished he could do the same. "There is food on the table as well to eat after introductions, which will include information about yourself you wish to share." That should bribe some to stay and talk.

He drummed his fingers against the courthouse desk, legs crossed calmly. "I'll begin. I'm Edward Bernard Nygma, your new director, which means if you have a problem whatsoever you're free to fetch me. I like puzzles, riddles, and I'm very skilled with them." He sounded a bit proud at the end of his words, before his gaze drew over everyone else. "If you'd like to introduce yourself, stand up and begin." He instructed.
