It was his first day being assigned to the BAU and honestly he was a bit nervous, new settings were always apprehensive at first...it was a natural human survival reaction. He saw the only empty desk in the room and began to put the boxes of his personal belongings in drawers, he adjusted his glasses since it had been a while since he'd worn them last. He had gotten contacts ages ago but every once in a while he preferred the look of glasses even though he felt they made him look old. After he'd finished setting up his work space he sat down in his chair and pressed his hands together in front of his mouth in concentration, so many interesting cases he'd be sure to be involved in now and he'd have a chance to do some really important work analyzing criminals...this would be everything he ever wanted. Even though he wasn't new to the FBI he wasn't used to being in an environment such as this, a place of such vibrations and such energy, he could practically feel the synapses in everyone's brains firing oh it was so delightful!
He pulled out his most recent notebook filled with old case files he'd resurrected from other agents who'd given up and he started to sift through them. Some pieces of evidence from an old serial killer case, a couple kidnappings that had gone unsolved, bank robbery and some forgery. It was no surprise they hadn't been solved yet since they were all fairly old and had little to no evidence on file, even for him it might take a little while to figure out the odds and ends but he was sure that in his free time he'd figure them out.

JJ waited in the Bullpen for thier newest addition to the team, SSA Jack Harker. She'd sat in on his interview, and Hotch had taken her choices under consideration, and one of the people she'd recommened to fill the open spots was Jack. She thought his history was impressive, and she LIKED him. She was reading through emails on her tablet, and sipping coffee, very engrossed in her work. So engrossed, actually, that she almost MISSED Jack walking in. Quickly, she put her phone in her pocket, and smiled at him. He was already putting things away, and she shook her head. Good thing he'd guessed right.
Hello, Agent Harker. How are you this morning? When you're ready, I'll give you the tour.
She waited for his acknowledgment, and then to see if he wanted to do it now or later. On days that new agents started, JJ was in the office all day, and not out with the others, unless it was a big case.

Jack had heard someone approach him and casually turned, his crisp British accent stood out among the voices of all the others. "Good Morning Ma'am, I'm rather excited to begin actually and I hope you are doing well. Lead the way!" he said with a warm smile. He was glad to see that he was welcome here, introductions were always such a stressful thing for people but this one had gone fine.
He put down his notebook on the desk top and pushed in his chair as he stood, after making sure he didn't leave a mess behind him he trailed along behind her as she showed him all the necessary sites he'd have to get used to here. The basic layout wasn't much different from any other Field Office with a few minor exceptions. "Everyone seems quite lively here, a really intensive energy" he knew that he would get along just fine with the others.

It didn't take her long to set up her desk. She gently placed a portrait of her family on the desk and smiled, knowing that she was going to prove herself as a Profiler. Everything looked perfect, from the line of her bobble head collection to the coordination of where everything else was placed on the desk. "I guess I could take a break, wouldn't you agree Dr. Venkman?" she said, sitting down in her chair and looking at her Ghostbusters bobble head. She had opened her laptop and began to check the latest updates for her favorite web comic when she realized there was a message regarding updates. "What do you mean it's on a month long hiatus?! What am I supposed to read for a month? Well, so much for that." She sighed, taking in the fact that the wait will probably be worth it. She shrugged her shoulders, closed the laptop, and had decided to look around. There was probably a vending machine nearby that had a pack of KitKats with her name on it.
She was lost in her thoughts, only glancing up a few times to make sure that she didn't crash into a wall. She still hadn't found the vending machine but it wasn't really of import to her at the moment. She made a note to herself to call her parents once the day was over and tell them how awesome her desk looked. She let out a quiet laugh before crashing into something, or rather someone in this case.
"Oh God, I'm so sorry. I should have been watching where I was going."

JJ smiled at Jack. She waited for him to stand.
Ok, great. Let's go, then. We're also going to meet another new agent.... she said, as she led the way. Then she replied to him.
Good Morning Ma'am, I'm rather excited to begin actually and I hope you are doing well. Lead the way...Everyone seems quite lively here, a really intensive energy.
I am well, thanks. How are you? Did you find your way OK this morning? The gate can be a hassle. Yes, we all really like what we do. At that moment, someone ran into her. She turned around, and spotted the other new agent, Ramona Montero. JJ smiled.
Oh God, I'm so sorry. I should have been watching where I was going... She just shook her head.
It's Ok, Agent Montero. It happens more than you think. You can come with Jack and I to do the tour of the office. Here are Agents Clark, Reid, and Miss Gregg, our TA... JJ indicated each in turn. Over there is my office, and then Hotchner's, and Rossi's. They are the senior SSA's.... Next, she'd show them the break room.

First day on the job and already she felt like a complete idiot. She silently kicked herself for not paying attention. When she regained composure, she looked up and saw who she accidentally bumped into. SSA Jennifer Jareau. Her eyes slightly widened before she realized that she was being spoken to.
"Again, I'm really sorry for bumping into you." Ramona let out a sigh, making a note to herself that she was seriously going to pay attention and not daydream so much.
As introductions were made and carried out in a swift yet orderly manner, Ramona made sure to remember who was who. She smiled when she found out that she was also going to be receiving a tour of the facilities. 'Sweet Jesus, this day keeps on getting better', she thought to herself. Offices were being pointed out left and right and Ramona made sure that she knew which hallway led to which office. 'This is like that scene in Labyrinth with all the freaking stairs. Without the muppets and glamorous David Bowie, of course. I'm gonna have to get a map of this place or make one myself.'
She could smell coffee in another room and, in an instant, she knew she needed a cup. But she didn't want to seem rude to the other Agents and therefore bit the inside of her cheek, thinking that maybe later would be a better time. But there was one thing that she needed to know.
"SSA Jareau, I don't want to sound rude I really don't but.... is there a vending machine around here? I kinda sort of skipped breakfast this morning before driving here." She laughed quietly while running a hand through her hair, trying to avoid another awkward situation at all cost.

JJ just smiled.
Again, I'm really sorry for bumping into you....
No problem. She went on with her tour, showing them everything she could think of. Normally, of course, Paisley or Garcia would do this, but Garcia was out of the office, and Paisley was in with Hotch, fixing his computer.
She paused, and Ramona spoke up.
SSA Jareau, I don't want to sound rude I really don't but.... is there a vending machine around here? I kinda sort of skipped breakfast this morning before driving here. JJ just shook her head. Another agent she'd need to watch, obviously. She just nodded, though, and indicated that Ramona and Jack should follow her. She showed them the breakroom, where the vending machines, microwave, coffee pot, and fridge were, along with a sink and water cooler.
Here ya go. You guys can store your lunch in the fridge, or whatever. But remember, I throw everything in there away on Fridays unless it's marked otherwise. She waited for the two new people to either respond or get coffee. Coffee's free. Help yourself. The tea belongs to Ms. Gregg, though, so ask her first. JJ indicated a few boxes of Kosher black and green teas.
