Really? You're the Demon King?

Soreth wasn't sure how much his companion believed him, though he couldn't help feeling a little overly anxious about his possible suspicion. "It's been enough of a mess around here since the disappearance of the previous ruler. I'm sure that many of us are having trouble keeping up. I don't know how I would without people like you around, honestly." He kept his gaze on the ceiling and his voice low as he answered, hoping to keep the others present from overhearing and to avoid giving anything away with his own expression.

He smiled slightly at the answer he received to his previous question. "I should have known that you'd have been up there before the rest. If anyone takes their job seriously around here, I bet you'll have already beaten them at their own game. Still, I agree that human blood doesn't make much sense. It's not a particularly abundant resource, especially not this far into our territory. Of course, it's always a possibility, especially now that we know that they do have humans in their group." He frowned a bit as he thought back on the previous day's discovery. "I'm guessing animal blood of some kind, but perhaps I should go up myself to for a look." Removing his gaze from the ceiling, he signaled one of the guards on the ground to approach and handed off his cloak before launching up into the air.

The girl stood there for several seconds, silently debating the best course of action.

"..."

After a moment, she lowered her hand and turned from the door, returning to the task of changing the sheets. "It's probably not important, right? After all, if there was someone here, they would have responded when I knocked earlier, right?" Satisfied for the moment, she went about her job as planned, hoping to still finish before she was needed for anything else so she could still take her break.

Unfortunately, as time went on, an odd feeling began to bother her. Something like a tiny voice in the back of her head that said something was off. As much as she tried to ignore it and continue with her task, she eventually found herself looking back at the door in slight discomfort. Why am I feeling so uneasy still? Eventually, she went back to the door and knocked, listening for any sort of answer. "Hello? Begging your pardon, I'm just here to change the sheets if it's alright. Is...is there someone still here?"

God School

I think Scarlet is still missing a partner. Anyone else I missed?

Really? You're the Demon King?

"Hn? Oh, that's right, I still have to report to the council regarding that..." Soreth looked away for a moment and mumbled a bit to himself about needing to write a note with all that was going on before he looked back with a reply. "I don't think you were there either when I found out, were you? It's a separate incident, but it seems that I have another challenger to test my right to the new position. Nothing too worrisome, but it was a little sudden. Not nearly as much preparation time as I would have liked, but what can we do? Even the calmest jobs have their hiccups once in a while."

Hoping that he wouldn't ask too much more about it, the shorter male turned back to the ceiling. "They're taking a bit, aren't they? Have you been up there yet?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Entering the room, Amaryllis was a bit surprised to find out which one it was. It wasn't as if she hadn't ever been there before, but it had only been a few times and usually only as a helper to another servant. It was easy to forget a route she didn't travel often, though the fact that she hadn't guessed by the door was a little embarrassing. "Not my fault, right? I was rushed over here when I was already frustrated...anyone could make that mistake, surely..." Trying to make herself feel a bit better about her previous lack of perception, she started over to the bed to put the sheets down when she heard something behind her.

Dropping the sheets, she whirled around and looked about the room a bit nervously. Was the someone still here? She was sure that the king was dealing with the dilemma in another part of the castle by now. At least, according to what she had heard when she was told to go on break. That sound was from one of the doors, though, wasn't it? Not the one she had come from, either.

Moving quietly toward the door she thought it had been, she hesitated only a few steps away. If it was the demon king himself or one of the other nobles in here for whatever reason she couldn't immediately think of, then she had no reason to bother them. If it was another servant, they would have made their presence clear without any trouble or maybe offered assistance. "...Should I knock, then? I guess it would be rude not to ask if it's a bad time, but still..." Moving a little closer, she raised one hand to knock, though she was unable to bring it to the door just yet in her indecision.

Being Human

@KatherinWinter

After several minutes of messing around in the kitchen, the catlike man finally finished up and searched around for a plate to put the food on. In the end, he had settled for making a sort of grilled cheese sandwich with tomatoes and some basil added. It was simple, but quick to cook and fairly filling from his experience. Bringing the dish to the living room, he quickly made his way back to Liz. "The food is ready! I forgot to ask if you wanted something to drink with it, though. Is there anything in particular you want?"

The White Walls of a White Room

Super tempted to bring back Sonja and make him discover that he's no longer human.

Really? You're the Demon King?

At the sound of the familiar voice behind him, the demon king let out a sigh. Truthfully, though, he was actually pretty glad to see this particular individual. "I think they're desperate. They're like a group of problem children looking for attention for every little thing they do in the most unappealing way." Turning to face the green-eyed demon, he offered a slight smile, though he tried to switch back to a more serious expression considering the situation. "I can't say that I really understand them that much. Even their sacrifice staying with us below only speaks gibberish as far as I can tell. You didn't see the servant who discovered this by any chance, did you? We should make sure to get their account as well at some point..."

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Left turn, straight down, not the next, but the right after that...
"...Where is this?"

One would think, that after months of getting stuck in the same hallway loops, that it would be easy to find the servants' quarters again from most of the main part of the castle. And yet, it never seemed to stick quite right! There was always that one door, or that window design, or that odd ornament that just happened to look just similar enough to the one in another hallway to completely confuse her. It was enough to drive any young demon crazy. "Why? I don't need this! I'm already done with this morning! I just want that break I was promised!" Clenching both fists in irritation, Amaryllis turned toward the next door she came across in the hope of finding some way out of the hall she had gotten lost in.

Instead, what she got was handed a bunch of sheets by another servant who was apparently running late in performing some duty and some hasty instructions to get them to a certain room down the hall before they ran off. After a second of stunned silence, the girl let out an exasperated huff before turning back to the hall she had just been trying to escape. "So much for that break...Why am I suddenly doing someone else's job?" Barely paying attention to the door as she reached it, she gave a quick knock before she entered, still muttering to herself.

Experimental Army

@KatherinWinter
Got it. I figured that there would probably just be a less detailed version of something like this placed at certain spots in some of the halls, like in public buildings. Something that couldn't be moved, though, so they'd have to go off of their memory of it.

On another note, do they actually have performance rooms?

Experimental Army

@KatherinWinter

So...an emergency evacuation map would probably show the general shapes but not the colors or the key, right? Can I still use it?

Camp for Supernatural Teens

@TheHangedMan

The young dragon shrugged and piled a few pancakes on a plate. "Dunno. I think we've finished with the 'get-to-know-you' stuff for now, though, so maybe some sports games and competitions? I'd like to go swimming or something, but survival lessons might be good, too." Syrup poured onto the pancakes, a few other items joining on the side shortly after. "Oh, maybe we could do something with powers, too. Like figure out our way through a maze using only one object gifted at random and our natural abilities. No extra items, just us and a quick gamble." A small fang poked out in a smirk. "Only thing better would be a courage test, I think."

God School

Felice gave the other boy a once-over before crossing his arms. "Tch! Fine. Might as well get going one way or another." He didn't care too much at the moment about whether he was actually stronger or not. They would fight when told to, and his main objective would be to just hold the floor until told to stop. Not too hard. Judging by the way the individual in front of him brought out his weapon before they were even told to take the floor, though, this guy seemed pretty eager.
