 Alexander Matthews OpsonButler and personal advisor to Miss Dakota.(()) Alix sighed and turned another page. There was a lot of information on a lot of people, and most of it was completely irrelevant. Every now and again, Alix would stumble across something truly upsetting, like the violent death of a loved one, and he wrote those instances down on another paper. "These are the kinds of things that could make a person snap." He sighed with a sad look, but kept reading. None of the servants were really new, and no one had quit overnight... As far as he knew.
He'd just about been ready to turn another page when there was a knock. On his window. On the third floor. He damn near dropped his drink, and he whipped his head to see "Leo." He grumbled, but he smiled anyway. He managed to dig himself out of his bed without spilling anything, then set his things on the nightstand and went to the window. He unlocked the window and pulled it open, standing back for Leo to come in.
"You know, Leo," Alix began in a slightly amused voice. "I do have a door. And it's clearly labeled and easy to find." He gestured with a hand behind him in the general direction of his door. He couldn't remember if Leo had ever been in his room before. Either way, Alix was feeling really comfortable this morning... afternoon? Today. And he wasn't about to go all stiff and formal just for Leo. The looseness might even shock him a little.

Yoh waved at Lucero vaguely. "Hello, person of great shortness. I'm sorry I don't have any food ready. I actually woke up around 8, but then I got bored so I...um...stayed awake. Yep. I sure didn't fall asleep. Not me. Nope."

Lucero nodded back.
"Good Morning, Yoh." The teen said. Yoh was always a nice person, and sometimes funny. Today was no expection.
Turning he looked around, there were a few guests in there. Upon the table was a cartoon of donuts, but Lucifer left them for the guests. They would be hungrier then the servants, and plus it was common courtesy.
Lucero remained standing, letting the guests sit at the table.
"Yoh, Would you like to get a shower? I'm willing to begin cooking everyone something to eat or would you like some help?" He suggested. It probably wasn't the most comfortablest position to sleep in and Lucero wanted to give Yoh some rest, if he needed. Besides, that's why he was hired. He was hired as the Odd's 'n' Ends man and also was given the library to take care off. The teen didn't mind the work load, it was actually quite enjoyable.

((Aw...You all are so cruel. crying Did you have to give me all of that to read? XD I'm just kidding.))
Aya woke up in a bed in an unfamiliar room. She didn't remember getting into bed, but she must have at some point. She quickly got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, rubbing her eyes. She never had been much of a morning person. About ten minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom, fully dressed, her hair washed and brushed. Now that she was fully awake, she looked around the room. Her eyes fell on a letter that was addressed to her. She picked it up and read it.
Dear Ayaka Takahashi,
It is wonderful to know that you have wanted to figure out about my previous letter. I thank you for trusting me and for coming to stay with me in my home. You shall find that my reasons are well reasonable and you should find your stay as comfortable as possible.
I know you have alot of quesions and I shall answer them all...in due time. Today I have schedualed a meeting with all of my guests in a room that you will find by going through a scavenger hunt. You shall need to answer the riddles you find at each place and each will take you to another place and another till you find the room of which I shall be waiting for you. There is a time limit but I wouldn't worry about that yet. I shall let you know via intercom what that time is.
As for now I am sorry that you have missed breakfast and you are probably hungery. I shall help you with the first clue, which is enclosed. Your help is also on that clue. I shall see you at the deadline!
Sincerly,
Dakota Williams
She then read the clue. That isn't the least bit obvious, she thought sarcastically. Then she walked out of the room, making her way to the kitchen.

Laska slipped into the library, feather-duster in hand. After being hired, Miss Dakota hadn't told her very much about her job; it seemed she was very busy. She immediately had begun to roam the halls of the house, being sure to stay out of everyone's way. She'd only caught glimpses of the guests and other workers; it would seem she was very good at going unnoticed.
She had found her way to the supply closet and helped herself to a feather-duster, trying to at least look like she was being helpful. The library was already meticulously clean, but she started fanning at a few shelves anyhow.
With a sigh, she decided to go down to the kitchen to ask if there was any work which needed to be done.
Stepping through the doorway, she first noticed Yoh and Lucifer. She felt fortunate to already know who everyone was, having been given a glimpse at their profiles by Miss Dakota. Laska quietly approached them, waiting to be noticed.

Dakota tried to clear the panic. "Really...you didn't notice." Slowly she sat down, still not entierly looking towards Zen. "Scavenger hunt," she said softly. She didn't answer the rest of his questions. She picked up her coffee cup and held on to it.

Zenith was concerned by Dakota's absent expression and short responses. "Dakota?" He called to her quietly, waving a hand in front of her eyes and clicking his fingers. "Are you all right? Is something bothering you?" He placed the coffee mug down on the table, and placed his hand on the surface, lowering his head to look her in the eyes. He was perturbed by her sudden change of behaviour, and wondered if he had come to see her at a bad time. He recalled the incident with the housekeeper who was murdered. Perhaps the shock from that has only just hit home.

Dakota shook her head. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to block out thoughts about the dream again. "I'm....ok." A tear slipped out from the corrner of her eye. 'Join me Dakota. You know you want to.' Dakota closed her eyes tighter and laid her head on her arms.

Oh boy. Zenith had never been good with these kinds of situations. He shifted uncomfortably in the seat. He really wasn't the best person to console Dakota, whatever it was that was upsetting her. Alix should be here, or Leo. He chastised himself mentally for his insensitivity, moving over to the other side of the table putting a hand on Dakota's shoulder. "Hey, what's wrong? You can talk to me you know."

Dakota said nothing for a while. There were no more tears falling. But she was still scared out of her mind. "He's after me. I know it." She pulled out her phone and had started to text Alix but her hands started shaking. She held the phone out to Zen. The text started with 'Help'

 Zenith's mind was buzzing with confusion. What was wrong with Dakota? Why was she texting Alix for help? Did this have something to do with Steven's murder? And Jeremy, who was he? Until now he had distanced himself from the matter. He assumed that whatever it was, Dakota had it under control. However, she was evidently in over her head. Something bad was going on, and it seemed to be centred around her. He cleared the text that Dakota had started, replacing the text with a message from him.
Alix, something is up with Dakota. She needs you. Come to conference room 2 now, please. Zenith.

Alexander Matthews OpsonButler and personal advisor to Miss Dakota.((Wow, short post from hell. But I don't feel like fleshing it out with useless repitition.)) Alix was still talking to Leo when his phone went off. He read it quickly, then he was across the room in a flash. Why was Zenith using Miss Dakota's phone? What was wrong? He hurtled down the hallway, following the thought pattern he knew as Miss Dakota's. He threw her door open and leapt inside. "What's wrong?" He demanded immediately, completely ignorant of the fact that he was still shirtless and barefoot.

Leo slipped through the window and onto the carpet with ease. "Well, the door would've been nice, but the window was a lot more fun!" He said with an eager face. Then he looked at Alix, almost doing a double take. "Why, Alix? You are acting so...so...so...informal!" Leo made a face of mockery. "You just might get sent to Servant's Prison! But don't worry, I wont tell a soul!" Leo chuckled at his stupid joke for a bit. Alix checked his phone then a wave of panic washed over his face. He floaded out of the room, Leo a few feet behind, and ran to Conference Room 2. "What's wrong?" He asked. Leo looked across the room. Dakota was trembling. He quickly crossed to her side. "Dakota, what's wrong? You gotta talk to me, what is the matter?" He asked cautiously, but tenderly. He grabbed her hands and held them tightly, rubbing the backs of them with his thumbs, trying to sooth her mood.
