Trevor's abrupt announcement did, in fact, startle Mildred. The normal type jumped in just the wrong direction, toppling her mug and sending a spreading puddle of Pechai tea all over her desk. Mildred stared in shock for just a moment. Then she let out a yelp and shoved her papers to the side with speed to rival a Jolteon, saving all but a few corners from certain doom. The secretary then soaked up some of the mess with the first semi-absorbent material she could find...her own tail. 

Crisis averted, Mildred suddenly remembered its cause and blushed red. She peeked up at the potential recruits, one a Noibat and the other... a Togepi? Yes, it fit the description she read, though she had never seen one in the flesh before. And now they had both seen her freak out like an idiot. Mildred took a calming breath. Time to be professional. And, in the flustered pokemon's attempt at logic, that meant acting like nothing happened. Mildred cleared her throat and plastered on a polite smile.

[color=a187be]"Welcome to the Medburn Exploration Guild."[/color] Mildred began her standard spiel while slowly sliding her tea-stained tail behind her back. [color=a187be]"Thank you for your interest in helping us protect the people, places, and culture of our region. My name is Mildred, and I will register you and begin your orientation today. But before we can begin, there are just a few forms I'll need you to read fully and fill out."[/color]

With that, Mildred quickly leafed through the slightly disheveled stack of colored papers. As she did so, she quickly summarized each form by memory.

[color=a187be]"...percent of your earnings will go to the guild..."

"...will be lodged in separate..."

"...may only sing in the shower on Fridays..."

"...will not be held responsible for any injury or death caused by..."[/color]

Finally, Mildred picked up a stack of forms that looked like it belonged to a bureaucracy run by unicorns and handed it to the Togepi, since she figured the Noibat might need his arms free to fly.

[color=a187be]"Again, I ask you to please read these thoroughly before signing anything,"[/color] the Smeargle concluded, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose. [color=a187be]"And feel free to ask me any questions you may have."[/color] She really hoped they wouldn't have any questions, though. She had already had enough embarrassing social situations for one day.
