Roxie ndoded.

"I do wonder why though." She commented.

"One would think that he'd prefer to show his art off." She added before shrugging.

"To each their own." She added.

"I will keep out of there though, of course."

Can it be.. undone?

Tannyll just nodded in response.

By the time that he had finished giving Roxie a tour of what she was to see, she noticed that it was already nightfall. It had taken that long to get it done.

"All right." Tannyll said, looking at the clock.

"You should probably report back to Master." he told her.

"And he'll probably tell you to go to sleep soon." he continued.

"By the way, don't be surprised if he wakes you up and weird hours to get him something." he warned her.

"A proper sleep schedule can be difficult to maintain for Master's personal maid."

Roxie nodded.

"All right then. Thank you for the heads up." She commented, a sincere smile.

"Granted, I have a weird sleep schedule anyway." She added, nto entirely truthful with that. Being what she was, sleep really wasn't needed for her.

"I think I can manage my way back there, as well." She added with a soft smile.

"thank you for the tour."

Tannyll merely nodded in response.

"You're welcome." he replied.

"Hope to see you again, soon." he told her with a smile.

"TANNYLL!" they then heard one of the other servants bellow out, causing the younger to jump a little.

"Ah! Y-yes!?" he exclaimed, turning to them.

"Chop-chop! You know what you need to do before you turn in!" they responded.

"Coming!" Tannyll called back.

"See you!" he said to Roxie, before running off and leaving her alone for the time being.

Roxie hadn't a chance to say anything before Tannyll had taken off. She just chuckled lightly befire sighing.

This place seemed good, but there was no way for her to know for certain. It just seemed pretty good on the surface. With a small shake of her head, she made her way up to where she was sure she was expected to be without getting lost (a trait she'd attribute to being a quick study for navigation), and knocked on the door. She was in the hallway and knocked, not sure which door was the 'proper' means of getting his attention when need be.

While waiting to find out if he would answer or not, she straightened the uniform, debating how things would go in the future.

"...enter." she heard him say, sounding VERY unimpressed.

When she did, and the man looked at her, she saw his annoyed expression turn softer, and he smiled.

"Ah, good." he said.

"Tannyll must have finished giving you the tour of the place." he commented.

"Good, good." he repeated.

"I had one of my other servants take the dish away once I had finished the cake, but in the future that will be your job." he told her.

"As for the rest of the night, I suggest you go and get some sleep." he went on.

"Before that, have you any questions?" he then asked.

Roxie nodded as he said what he did about the dish.

"Duly noted." She commented.

"As for questions, just one that comes to mind. If I have any downtime, what are the rules regarding that? Are there limitations to what I can or can not do?" She asked, her voice curious.

The man thought for a moment.

"Hm." he mumbled.

"Downtime..." he said.

"Well, I DO allow all of my staff one day off a week." he told her.

"On that day, you are allowed to avail yourself to whatever facilities you find on the property." he said further.

"However, as far as going OFF the property, I'm afraid you'll have to be under strict escort for that." he continued.

"I am a wealthy man, but I like my privacy. I don't want any of my staff being harassed by press or paparazzi." he explained. "So it will need to be set up so you can run whatever errand you need to, off the radar." he finished.

Roxie nodded.

"That makes complete sense." She commented.

"I don't foresee anything happening for that, but it is most certainly good to know for future reference." She added with another little nod.

"Anyhow, if there is nothing else, I will leave you to your leisure, and avail myself to a shower." She added with a light laugh.

"You do that, then." he replied.

"Oh, and there are multiple identical outfits in your closet." he told her.

"I hardly expect you to wear the exact same one every day. That is very unhygienic." he reasoned. "Feel free to alter those outfits to be like what you currently have." he continued.

"It's growing on me." he smirked.

"But take your dirty outfits and leave them in the hamper by your door." he continued.

"They will be picked up and laundered every 3 days."

Roxie nodded.

"Of course. That is most certainly good to know." She commented with a light chuckle.

"On that note though, What about undergarments or personal attire?" She asked.

"You did tell me that I wouldn't need to bring anything at all." She continued. "And I only have the one bra. Is there a way to arrange for more?" She asked, her voice curious, and nothing more.

"Ah! Yes!" he replied.

He then beckoned her to come closer, which she did. He reached into a nearby drawer, and pulled out what looked to be a credit card. Which it was, but it was clearly a pre-loaded one.

"Here." he told her.

"This is a card specifically for the website listed on it." he told her. "Your room has a laptop in it, though I DO warn you, internet usage IS monitored and controlled." he continued, issuing a couple of warnings.

"Use the balance on it to order whatever you feel you need for undergarments and personal/casual attire." he continued.

"Delivery happens within 24 hours of ordering, so if you do so right away, it will be here by tomorrow night." he finished.

"Oh!" Roxie exclaimed, obviously surprised.

"thank you." She then said.

"I hadn't expected that." She admitted.

"but thank you. And duly noted on the monitoring." She added with a smile.

"Anyhow, I will leave you be. If you need me, I'll be either in the shower, or in my room. Farewell, and I will see you later." she said with a casual yet sincere, curtsy before leaving him be, as she was trying to set up something like that.

She made her way into her room before sighing lightly and sitting on the bed.

"All right... now to figure things out." She muttered, looking around.

"Not much I can do for the moment, though, however." She knew taht she needed to do things, but for the moment, she was more interested in getting changed into what she'd arrived in, due to it really being more comfortable, and going to have a shower. First, she'd place an order though, since she was sure that'd be better to do sooner, rather than later.

She made her way over to the laptop that was there, smirking slightly as she grabbed he rphone on the way.

Data may be monitored, I'm not enitrely sure. Any chance you can have the tech department take my phone off the radar? As in, have it that it cannot be spot? She sent to her proper boss before setting the pohone down on the desk and opening the laptop to navigate to the website.

When she logged into the laptop, she saw it was already connected to the net, and noticed it was free for her to customise and such. When she accessed the net, she could tell that protections were installed, as some of the techs at the Unit had shown her how to spot the icons and such. Not that she could do anything about it, but she could tell that internet WAS, in fact, limited. At least, there were sites he didn't want his staff going to.

The clothing site was accessible, obviously, and when she got to it, she could tell that it was top-quality, top-tier, top-price stuff. Which was to say, even those that were paid well at the Unit would need to carefully consider purchases from this designer.

When she entered the card number on the site to start to set up her online shopping cart for a speedy checkout, she noticed that the amount on it was... almost obscene. She had close to 70,000 dollars available for her to spend.

And that was when she received a response.

While I normally don't like this sort of measure, I can understand it. I'll have the techs do so within the next 24 hours. the text read.

If you need my phone for that, I can use my mana to get it back to the Unit. Roxie sent before sighing and going through everything. She wasn't going to blow it all, mostly because she didn't see a need to, but she did, definitely, end up accruing quite a total.

"Oh geez. Glad that's a stupid high amount." She muttered as she looked at everything, and the almost sixty thousand dollar total.

"well... no time like the present, I suppose." she muttered before hitting submit, causing the purchase to go through. She was sure that the measurements and whatnot would be right, but ordering online? That was always a bit of a hesitation.

She smirked though as she leaned back. There were some things that were .... well, alluring. With everyone she'd been with over the years, considering what it was that she was, she was sure she'd hit a few good points for her temp boss. But she wasn't sure, couldn't be sure.

All she could do, was hope that she hit something right. If only just because of the fact that she knew that it could be useful in the future, while hunting out this information.

We do need your phone. was the text she received.

Send it whenever you can. the next one read.

We'll trace the exact point it was sent from, and have it send back under the radar. the third one told her.

After the soft chimes, there was silence.

The silence of the room around her, and the wind that blew softly outside her window.

If nothing else, she was living in style now.

I'll send it to Azazel. Roxie sent as a reply text.

And I'll do that in about an hour. You might as well collect the recordings I have, from here. There isn't much, but maybe it could be useful in the future. She sent after, getting to her feet as she did so.

She navigated to the camera app on her phone again, sighed lightly before thanking her lucky stars that her mana was demonic and thus unregistered for the mana barriers she knew were in place. At the same time, she opened a 'line' with one that she knew she could contact easily - Azazel.

Yo, Az. You doing anything in a bit? She asked, knowing he probably was wondering what the hell was with the sudden line with him.

I... no. No, not really. he told her.

Why? he asked.

What's going on? he asked her.

And why are you contacting me like THIS? he then asked further. I know we can do it, being demons and all, but you hardly EVER resort to this form of communication.

Long story. Truncated to being that mana and tech are limited for the moment. Roxie answered.

Anyway, I'm going to send my phone to you in a little bit. After I finish with a recording I'm working on. She continued as she moved around the room a bit, continuing to record everything she found of note.

I need you to take it to Hal so that he can make sure that it's tended to. Please don't ask why. She added. Not entirely sure it's a good idea to share

I hate being left out of the loop like this, Roxie. Azazel responded.

But this must be important. he then said, with her hearing him sighing.

Got it. Take your phone to the boss. he continued.

I have NO idea what you've decided to get yourself into this time, Roxie... he went on, trailing off for a bit.

But good luck. And try and be safe.
