Stumbling Blindly

Zeva walked around the area that had, what people had called, the pokemon lab. She had absolutely no idea what it was used for. She had just been told by the few people she had talked to that she needed to go here before anywhere else, so here is where she ended up. She slowly walked up to the sliding glass doors that marked the entrance to the mysterious building. She stopped a few feet from the door and looked up to the almost cloudless sky. She thought to herself, I guess I really wanted a fresh start...

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She opened her eyes slowly and walked into the doors. She looked around and saw a few chairs, a counter, and a door behind said counter. What she didn't see, was someone around to help her. Her face started to flush, but she clenched her fists and took another deep breath. Her face returned to normal. She looked around again and called out, "Hello? Anyone here?" She hoped someone came soon, she didn't feel like standing here alone for long.

"Yes, yes, just a -- give me that it's mine you already had some! Just a moment, please!"

From a back room the sounds of two beings engaged in an intense tug-o-war drifted out to the lobby, plastic rustling and voices growling and verbally sniping each other. It culminated about half a minute later with a gasp and what was probably the two tumbling backwards into the furniture.

A rather miffed young woman walked out to the counter and set down an abused-looking bag of licorice bits, then looked up to see who had been calling for her. She offered a sincere, though tired, smile.

"He tried to steal those," she explained, pointing at the bag. "Assistant Usher, sorry to keep you waiting while we settled that. How may I assist you?"

She looked at the somewhat ruffled lab assistant. She then looked to the bag of licorice bit. She walked forward to stand in front of the desk and fidgeted with her and in front of her. She had absolutely no idea what she was supposed to do. But she figured since someone told her to come here, and the person that was here looked official, they would more than likely know exactly what she was supposed to do.

She looked to the floor, somewhat embarrassed, and said to her, Yes... Um... Someone outside told me that I was supposed to come here since I just arrived, but they didn't say what for... So I was sort of hoping that maybe you could help me?
