Jerard looked between the weapon and technician and stifled a smile. They were certainly unique looking, using their appearance to their full advantage for the girl in the Mohawk, who was certainly complemented by her technician. He steepled his fingers together in a bridge and smiled.
"Cammi, Bianca, congratulations on becoming a weapon and technician team. As you know, you will now be allowed in previously restricted areas and will be able to partake in the missions." he looked at his watch. Michael had told him he'd be a little late-- something about a mission that had started off on the work foot, and a distraught weapon. "You'll be given a tour of the campus by a staff member, and should you have any questions, you can direct it towards them."
He paused. "Now, I'll be expecting great things from the two of you, so don't let me down." he smiled then, fully.
It always made him feel good when he could congratulate a new pair. All the possibilities for their future...
"Now if you could just wait outside, Michael will arrive soon to show you around."

Cammi still wasn't sure why they needed a tour guide. Surely a school of shibusen's caliber should have maps at the very least and who at their age couldn't read a simple map? Heck considering all the magic of sorts that went on they should have tiny personal GPS's or something to guide them around. Still the blonde knew enough to keep her mouth shut about that and just nod before she left the office to wait while Bianca trail after her.
Cammi didn't think she'd have many questions really though she knew but she and Bianca wondered if their long time friendship would help or hinder their working relationship. It was probably the sort of things nobody knew anyways becuase after all everyone was different right and thus each situation was unique or something like that. The technician shifted from foot to foot and wondered what sort of person their highly unnecessary tour guide was going to be.
" You're frowning," Bianca warned. She wasn't one to tell Cammi what sort of mood the other girl should be in but they did want to make a good first impression and not annoy staff members right off the bat. the last thing they needed was for one of them to look like they were going to be difficult. A grin tugged at the silver haired girl's lip, ok so they were both probably going to be difficult but no one needed to know that just yet.

He hated being late, but this had been an event he had been unprepared for. A three rank weapon who breaks down before having to kill a target? The mission had been completed successfully only due to the experience of the technician, but it had been a close call. Half walking, half jogging down the corridor to Jerard's office, Michael scowled. Dammit, this was no way to meet the students: talk about a bad impression. Usually he hated anyone who didn't respect punctuality.
"Sorry, sorry." he started, slowing down with a slight pant. He straighted and looked between the pair. Right... right. He'd been reviewing the file just a couple of hours before. "Cammi and Bianca, right?" he asked, looking between the two girls. Right. Hopefully they'd forget that he had been late at all.
"Now this is just going to be a short tour, show you around a little bit, the missions head quarters and the offices so if you need us, you know where to go. It's past a couple of other destinations, so if you have any questions you let me know." he didn't like this whole tour guide thing, really. How demeaning for a death scythe! "I'm not going to stop at each point and ask for feed back, so if you have questions just ask." sometimes these pairs seemed to know everything, or nothing at all. "I don't bite."
"Now, shall we?" he grinned. "I'm Michael, by the way. Nice to meet the both of you."

"Nice to meet you too, we promise not to bite either." Cammi practically bounced from foot to foot at this point, she didn't do the whole standing still thing very well. It wasn't due to one of those alphabet soup disorders but she was just too active by nature to stay in one place for long. It was probably a good thing this guy seemed fairly straight to the point she thought as she gave a small smile.
Bianca resisted the urge the laugh and nodded. " Pleased to meet you sir." He might have given her his first name and might not normally be formal with people but damned if Bianca wouldn't afford this man the respect a staff member deserved.

Michael watched the girl bounce from foot to foot, wondering it maybe they should hit the bathrooms first, or if she was just impatient. Granted, so was he, but... he frowned, and yet before he could respond with anything Bianca called him sir.
Well. That sounded nice, really. Alexis always made fun of the fact that sometimes he was so damn traditional, but it felt good to be acknowledged in such a fashion. They hardly required his services as a death scythe and seemed more concerned in having him watch over the baby lamb. Might as well get his kicks while he could.
"Ah, this way." he said, moving down the corridor. "No, we're passing classrooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 6." he paused, looking at the rooms that he had left out. Sometimes students didn't ask, sometimes they did. He disliked it when they did because it was so hard to try to explain something he wasn't actually supposed to know. "You'll have your classes here, but maybe you already do." he frowned, pausing for a moment and looking back.

The blond technician followed Michael with long quick steps so she could keep pace with the older male. Were classrooms five and seven closed for some reason? Under maintenance perhaps or used for classes by higher ranked students possibly. Regardless of the reason they hadn't been mentioned and thus obviously held no immediate use to Cammi. Things they weren't of use didn't warrant her asking questions about them.
Bianca had trailed behind both Michael and Cammi. She wanted the memorize the layout of the school completely just in case there was a danger of getting lost later. She frowned and scratched her gelled scalp when she realized two of the classrooms hadn't had their purposes designated. "Are classrooms five and seven off limits?"
Though she and Cammi were not usually the type to stay within what was considered acceptable boundaries Bianca wanted to at least know what sort of trouble they might get in if they decided to investigate the rooms later. She liked to weigh the pros and cons before doing something regardless.

Michael shook his head. "They're not off limits." in a sense. He hesitated. "What should be classroom five and seven aren't used by the shibusen staff to each any classes." he said finally. Well, he couldn't exactly come out and tell them one was nooky corner for the students, and one was... well. Even less legal. "We don't encourage the students to go there, but..." he shrugged. They usually all did anyways. As long as it did't affect them physically for their missions, he didn't really care. He strolled away, basically deciding that ignoring any further questions about the "mysterious" rooms would do as an acceptable response. As they neared the missions headquarters, he relaxed. There. This was more like this. "This is the mission HQ. Behind those doors are the offices. If you need myself, Alexis, Arashi or Ashley for any reason you just come by here. You can leave us a message on our desk, or just wait around." he paused, frowning. "As long as you don't miss out on something more productive." he added. Wouldn't want students to use it as an excuse to play hooky. He pointed to the board. " This is the missions board, where you'll find a list of available missions and those currently on progress. You need to sign up on a first comes first served basis, but please read the descriptions. Some missions are very specific."

Both Cammi and Bianca were now curious about the the two classrooms but silently they agreed to check them out later. Neither was great at reading people's body language but it was obvious Michael didn't want to discuss what exactly they were used for. Investigating them on their own time was the better option then. As they followed Michael further throughout the school Cammi wondered how many similar places Shibusen might hold. She could practically feel her heart start to race a little at the idea of examining every nook and cranny of the school for hidden and taboo areas
Her attention though was soon directed to what their guide was actually saying, this was important. " Any reason we'd need one of you over the others?" Cammi assumed that at like most of her old schools all staff mostly just multi-tasked for conveniences sake.
While Cammi waited for an answer Bianca eyed the missions board. It looked fairly straightforward and simple. There was also clearly work that needed doing and the weapon girl wondered what was normal for the board, how full or empty it usually was? Only time would tell she supposed.

Michael smiled at the question. It was a good one, really. "Sometimes we like to take missions specifically due to appearance: it might make it easier for us to blend in, in certain cultures and certain situations which will detract attention. Or experience with a certain group of people, if the mission is complex enough." he shrugged. "But you don't need to worry about it... my boss will spend her time worrying over it." he grinned then. It wasn't that he thought Alexis didn't do her job: she was a workaholic like himself. It just made him feel better when she was frustrated, because she appeared more human. "Now, I've got a map of the school and the city for you both." he pulled out a small white business card sized piece of paper and handed one to Cammi, and one to Bianca. "It's to help you out, and to point out many areas both on campus and outside that you might be interested in." he knew some students hadn't even known a music room had existed, or that the coffee shop deathbucks had opened. " HERE." he said, and grinned. "It's a short tour, really. Just for you to ask any questions and to show you the missions department." he paused. "Is there anything else you need...?" attention though was soon directed to what their guide was actually saying, this was important. " Any reason we'd need one of you over the others?" Cammi assumed that at like most of her old schools all staff mostly just multi-tasked for conveniences sake. While Cammi waited for an answer Bianca eyed the missions board.

Cammi shook her head " I'm good." She'd grown up in the area and knew where most things were but hey extra maps were always good and might point out places she'd never bothered to investigate that could be relevant to her now. The school map was equally useful and she figured the tour hadn't been an utter waste of time either so all in all this hadn't been too bad. Still she was eager to get out and do something now.
Bianca shook her head as well " No Sir, I'm fine." She had enough to go on to get by at this point and well she was the independent sort who liked to figure things out on her own if possible. No need to bug anyone else unless it was an emergency or something. Besides, she had Cammi to fall back on and that had always been enough in the past.

Michael nodded his head. Missions, classrooms, maps... check. He'd done all that he needed to do, so he was sure he was finished now. "Well then guys, good luck." He had a feeling they'd do well.
