To say she was excited was an understatement. An extremely flagrant understatement. She was overjoyed, no -- ecstatic. Finally, she was going on her first mission!
It was a simple, easy mission, but better than nothing, which was the only thing she'd been getting until now. It would be a fun mission though, just go out, steal from a few trainers, return with the spoils of victory...
...but she had to complete it with a partner. A pre-determined partner.
So here she was, rushing down the hallway past the grunt dormitories, looking for a specific room and clutching a thin manila folder in her left hand. "LIAM!" Where was.. aha! There!
Running to the door (how she knew it was his, she'll never tell), she immediately began pounding on it, yelling her victim's temporary partner's name again. "Liam! Open up!" With that, she waited no longer and barged into the room, partially surprised it was unlocked (or maybe she'd broken it in her excitement? Whoops...), but wasted no time in scanning the room for the young man who was to be her partner on this little mission. "Liam? My name's Claire. We're to go on a small mission together. Have you heard yet?" If he hadn't, he was about to - while speaking, she'd shoved the manila folder at him. Inside, it explained their simple mission, to be completed by the end of the day. Good thing it was almost 7am! Plenty of time!

'HRNGLFRNG' Liam yelled, sitting bolt upright in bed. There was a girl. In his room. And he was asleep. There was something wrong here, man. He took a second to check that he really was wearing at least his boxers underneath the covers as he glanced at the folder she was still holding in his direction.
"I, uh, oh... this, uh... could yo-you give me a minute?" He twirled a finger in a circle, indicating she should turn around so he could at least put some pants on. Still, he grabbed the folder, dumping its contents on his sheets to at least see what the general mission statement would say. Blah blah blah steal blah blah blah trainer blah blah blah end of day... Ok, so he had to go steal something with this... this... door breaker? Well, as long as he had pants...

Unfortunately for Liam, it never occurred to Claire that there may be others who didn't wake up before the crack of dawn. She always rose at or before 5am every morning without fail, so she'd already eaten breakfast, gotten through her morning training, showered, and several other miscellaneous things before receiving the mission exactly 10 minutes prior. The past 9 minutes were spent finding Liam's room.
At his twirling finger, she blinked and reality seemed to finally smack her in the face. "Oh, sorry." With that, she turned to face the door so he could put on some pants.
And then noticed the door, which looked broken. Whoops...
Taking a step toward it, she stooped to study it. Well, it was only a little broken. If he had a screwdriver, she could fix it quite easily. "Looks like I broke your door a little, sorry. Do you have a toolkit anywhere in here? I could probably fix it," she offered. She felt a little obligated to, at any rate. She was the reason it was broken, after all.

At the mention of the door, Liam stopped fidgeting with his pants, one leg in and one leg out. That door, hmm... Images popped into his head: A certain unruly Metang trying to break out and seek vengeance upon an unkind world, another certain grunt stumbling drunkenly into it, not bothering looking for a doorknob, and his own attempts at quick escapes from awkward hallway situations, ending in a loud slam and the turning of several locks. All in all... it was probably not her fault.
"Uh... no thanks, I mean, it uh probably wasn't your fault or... anything..." His own voice was all the motivation he needed to finish dressing. His own special standard uniform, which he had come to realize after breaking it in wasn't so standard after all, was what he generally wore in the base and he figured it would be his safest bet for his first mission. It wasn't like they were going for stealth, blatantly stealing a trainer's Pokemon and all.
"And you can turn around now," he added as he finished buttoning up his top, which was more complicated than it should have been. "And... might as well tell me about the, you know... mission?"

Hmm, he didn't sound very sure of himself, did he? Well! That could only make things more interesting. Hopefully it wouldn't make them worse... "Are you sure?" Aimed at his statement that it wasn't her fault... probably. Very convincing.
Claire, as usual, was wearing the standard female grunt uniform - she'd opted for the skirt in this situation, although now that she was going through the details of the mission in her head again, pants might have been a better decision...
Oh well. She liked skirts and the semi-high heeled boots. They showed off her legs quite nicely.
"Our mission," she began, still studying the battered doorknob, "is exceedingly simple. Just go to outlying areas and steal pokemon from trainers. Supplies too, if possible. Pokeballs, pokedexes, equipment... It's all useful." Straightening up, she turned to look down at Liam, noticing for the first time how... short he was. And how tiny. Was he even 100lbs? Probably not. And... what was he wearing? ....oh well, it didn't matter. "I suggest we go to Cypress Forest, there should be plenty of trainers around there, and with all the trees there'd be limited visibility and and we'll have an easier time of escaping if need be." Always had to have an escape route. Actually, scratch that - at least three escape routes - and Claire could think of half a dozen off the top of her head. "Ready to go?"

"Pokedexes? Pokedex? Pokedii?" Liam mused as he laced up his overly complicated boots. As he did so, he checked the Pokeballs at his belt and the supplies in his pack. Check, check, and check. He was, in fact... "Ready to go, yes. Please... uh... lead the way, I guess?" He opened the door, realizing it was kind of beat up (and probably not at no fault to Claire) but didn't mind so much. As far as he was concerned, this was a temporary room until they found him someone else to room with.

An amused noise escaped her as he mused aloud on the plural form of pokedex, then nodded when he stated he was ready. Good. "Alright." She had no problem leading. And with that (after collecting the folder and its scattered contents from Liam's bed), she briskly walked out.
"Now... I think we're allowed to use one of the vehicles in the garage on the first floor for this, considering the distance, but we can ask when we get down there." She wasn't 100% sure, but that fact didn't seem to faze her in the slightest, and she immediately started to walk towards the nearest elevator. The stairs might not be such a good idea for someone who'd just woken up maybe five minutes prior.
It seemed logical for them to have use of one of the inconspicuous vehicles, but in the event they weren't allowed to use one, Claire was certain that Odette would have no trouble flying the both of them. Not for a great length of time, of course, but she would more than likely be perfectly fine flying them to the edge of the forest and back if need be.
Or if they needed a quick escape. Either one.

"OH, uh, well.... I mean, ok th-then?" He followed a step behind her with his head down. Even fully dressed he felt all but naked in front of this strange girl.
"S-so... you're... Claire?"
