Twila
Twila stayed quiet and observed the other girls while they chatted with the Prince. There was way too many voices all trying to be heard and while she loved conversation, she wasn’t one to interrupt. So she smiled and nodded as more joined and followed Miss Marla to the rooms along with the others.

Her list was rather short; her clothes, her favorite pot of succulents that would sure die without her, and one of the flower arrangements from the ball. Surely it wasn’t too much to ask, she was positive they were going to be tossed out anyway. Twila said goodnight to the others, Miss Marla, and Prince Greyson, and gently shut her door for the night.

The room was uncomfortably clean. It felt like the complete opposite of her room back home, no cracks or nicks in the walls, no vines growing and hanging down tenderly from the ceiling, and everything seemed to be exactly in its place. The only thing that comforted her was the large window looking out towards the lawn. She didn’t realize it but it drew her closer and she opened it without a second thought.
The maid didn’t seem to mind too much, though she give an almost nervous smile. “I’m Twila.” She smiled, “what’s your name?”

“Melinda,” the young maid bowed as she spoke. She was quite lovely, Twila thought, and she admired the curls in her dark hair which contrasted nicely with her hazel eyes. Melinda offered to help her with the bath and turn down her bed and Twila almost refused, but she didn’t really know how the bath worked yet so at least she could just watch how Melinda did it. Why was it that every bath had to be so different that you’d have to have someone show you how it works or just fumble for 10 minutes before you get the water going? So she watch as Melinda turned a few knobs and kindly asked for the water to not be so hot.

Twila’s bath was perfect, Melinda even added a few oils to it that made her skin feel amazingly soft. When she walked out of the bathroom her bed was ready for her and Melinda was placing one of the arrangements from the ball earlier on the nightstand. That must of been an easy enough request. “Can I get you anything else Lady Twila?” Melinda asked as she walked towards the window to close it. “No!” Twila half shouted, startling the maid. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to frighten you. I’m fine, it’s just can you leave the window open? I like the sound of the breeze.” She begged kindly. Melinda nodded nervously again and wish Twila a goodnight before leaving.

Morning came soon enough and Twila found herself being pulled out of bed by a begging Melinda, “Please La- please Twila you must get up now or you’ll have no time to get ready for the day.” Twila groaned and allowed herself to be escorted to the vanity, as she rubbed her eyes. What time was it? It certainly felt much to early.

Melinda started brushing and pulling back parts of Twila’s hair as the nymph tried to keep her eyes open. When she finished, Twilas hair was nicely braided back and combed down, not a hair out of place. Twila sat there in awe but, still it didn’t feel right. While Melinda answered a knock at the door, she quickly pulled out a few whisps of hair by her ears. It had been Marla at the door, along with the few belongings Twila requested.

Before Melinda had the chance, Twila grabbed one of her pairs of overalls and a peach colored top. She tossed her clothes on quickly and took her pot of succulents from Melinda, placing them on the desk by the window and giving the petals small kisses before she was escorted to breakfast.
 
"Rude? Haha no I'm only teasing." She said truth fully. "Don't tell me you can't handle a little teasing." Soon enough it was time to be escorted to their rooms and time for Tori to sneak out. Once Tori finally made it to her room she told them not to bother getting anything and that she kept everything she needed on her. Which was true. Once everybody finally left. Tori dashed to the window and snuck out. Sneaking out past the guards near the gate was a piece of cake. Though it was clear security had been amped up since last time. Though it wasn't amped up enough if she was sneaking out. Then again she was a pretty good at sneaking in and out of places. Tori of course went straight to the tavern and everyone was surprise to see her. Alex smirked at her. "Crazy girl you snuck out didn't you?" Tori sat at the bar. "Duh now come on you should know why i'm here." Alex started cleaning off the bar. "No jobs tonight." Tori sighed. "Seriously not one job? I'm running out of money." Alex stopped cleaning and looked at her. "By the way no more free drinks or food. You pay for now on alright? It's expensive running a place like this." Tori laughed. "Alright alright I'll pay for now on." "Hey listen, Why don't I send you a message for now on so you don't have to keep sneaking out every night." Tori sighed and glanced at the door. "Yeah that might be a better idea. Oh listen mind if take a few things with me?" Alex raised an eyebrow at her. "Like what?" Tori grinned and pointed over to the booze. Alex sighed, "Fine Here take five bottles" Tori paid him and handed her a bag she could carry on her back. "There guess I'll see you around." Tori headed to the door. "Yep" Tori headed out back to the castle. Once she was back in her room she tossed the bag with the booze under bed then went through the drawers to find something to sleep in. Once she was dressed in the nightgown they had in the drawer she sat on the bed and took a look around the room. She never did get a good look at it when she first came in here. It was pink and very beautiful made her think of her old room from when she was young. She loved pink as a little girl....Her mother loved pink....."I Hate this room.....and I hate this damn castle." Annoyed Tori reached under her bed and pulled a bottle out of her bag and started taking swings of it. Soon enough the bottle was gone and drunkenness was back. Who knew what time it was probably really late. With all she had to drink tonight including what she just had now was not going to feel good in the morning. She made sure to hide the stuff under her bed and she then fell back on to the bed. It was sooo soft.....really soft....and warm. She soon closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning she heard a knock at her door and boy was it loud. Every knock was like a slam into her head. The loud voice yelling from behind the door was just as bad. Luckily the window curtains were closed and her lights were off so no blinding lights. "Lady Tori I'm your maid Clara I'm here to help you get ready this morning!" Tori was going to choke the woman." Tori slowly stood up and walked over to the door and opened it slightly. "Look I don't need any help ok I'm going back to sleep so if you could just keep it down please." Clara looked at her confused. "But Miss you can't go to back to bed you have to come down to breakfast. I'm not hungry." She growled. "Now go away and let me sleep. Tori closed the door then locked it and got back into bed and pulled the covers over her head. Oh what headache she had. But the way she drank you think she be use to it by now.

Idina Adelaide Sterling
Mentioned: None

Idina stepped into the dining hall, accompanied by a mature and refined young woman with an pleasant smile. Rosalinda was her name, and with her firey red locks, sparkling blue orbs and freckled skin, she was certainly a sight to behold. Her own jade green eyes flitted about the room, silently absorbing the magnificent sight she was seeing. The walls were covered with a shimmering gold paper and in the middle of the ceiling above the carved oak table was a candelabra. Down the center of the table was a runner with an intricate design woven in gold and green into the fabric itself. The polished silver cutlery was heavy to the hand and shone brightly in the early morning sunlight. At each place stood a tall empty wine glass and there were beautifully folded napkins to match the runner.

All that was missing was the food and the guests.

"Here we are, Lady Idina." The maid blinked up at her, a smile plastered onto her lips as she gestured towards the room.

Hesitantly, the pinkette replied with a small smile of her own, inclining her head in gratitude. She was certainly unused to having a servant at her every beck and call, and she found the feeling to be unpleasant, much like everything else she's experienced during the short time she's been at the palace. Nonetheless, Rosalinda had been nothing but polite and formal, as well as quite serious, and very willing to assist her in any way she can since they've met. Her dedication to her job was something she could appreciate.

"Please, take a seat while we wait for the others to arrive." Rosalinda spoke as she guided the train conductor to one of the many empty seats.

The morning light parted the shadows that lingered, with choirs of birds chirping in the distant garden - waking the succubus from her deep slumber. Casting her gaze across the room, Sasha spotted a young visage in whites - the culprit of her disturbed sleep.

"Good morning my lady." the girl greeted softly, grabbing the attention of the sleepy succubus.

Sasha have had too many a drink and could not tell if it is a dream or not. The room was brightly lit at the behest of the maid's movements, prompting the nurse to follow suit with her movements to get out of bed. Her nightgown's strap fell beneath her shoulders, while her bedhead found its comfort at the succubus's carelessness from the abrupt awakening. Sasha's scarlet eyes followed the maid, as her memories gradually came back to her. So it would seems, Sasha nodded to herself, still at a disbelief being given a personal maid and being called lady. But there was no time to dwell in her thoughts, as she quickly looked over to her night-table. A sense of gladness passed her, as she quickly grabbed her satchel and downed a brown vial, dilating her eyes briefly, before she could get up wholely from her bed. Sasha was thankful that the items, of which was important to her, were delivered by the morning's light - a testament to the efficiency and dedication of the Royal family to the Selection. Sasha looked up at her maid and finally replied.

"I apologize. Your name have been drowned beneath the previous night's drinks. Would you be a dear and revisit my memories for me?"

"Do not fret about it, my lady! I'm Elise, and I'll be your personal maid for the remainder of the Royal Selection. Come, Lady Sasha, the bath has been drawn for you."

"Thank you Elise." Sasha smiled.

Sasha studied the busy Elise, as she rushed fro and forth with the smallest of details unforgotten in her quake. The succubus was easily amused by how busy and speedy the maid was. From one end of the room, she would chase her duties as if a cat pursuing a ball of wool. Wasting no time on her end, Sasha fell beneath the waters within the comforts of the curtained dividers. But before she could enjoy herself, Elise would escort her every inch of her way. Sasha realized now, that being attended to can be quite suffocating, or rather, she was more concerned at how Elise was literally eyeing her every movement within the seconds. As she brushes her teeth, the maid tended to her dress, of which was prepared before hand since dawn. It was the exact materials that Sasha had requested, as well as its design, all by the letter.

"Dar Rohyauhl Famaley rally do carr abowwt ush huh?" (The Royal Family really do care about us huh?)

"Lady Sasha, I must ask that you refrain from speaking while eating or brushing your teeth."

"Sowwy..." Sasha giggled as she finishes her morning hygienes.

The two made haste in their preparation, and Elise escorted her lady towards the garden for a walk after breakfast. The two said little, with Sasha taking lead in procuring sights of the colorful flowers that grew there. The succubus and her maid settled beneath a pavilion stop. Sasha unveiled her new dress when the sun had settled beneath clouds for a brief time. Far from a vampire, but the succubus still has her grievances against the sun. Sasha bypassed the boundaries of their statuses and insisted Elise to take a seat next to her. Initially reluctant, the young maid complied with the nurse's words, and the two basked in the comfort of their seats and the fresh air that roamed the windswept garden.

Dinning room; giving a quick lesson

Marla waited and helped each candidate to be seated. Soon the prince and Queen will arrive to join them all. The woman took a moment to instruct the girls. “Good Morning Ladies,” She bowed. “Prince Greyson and Queen Acadia will be joining us soon. But I’d like to give a quick lesson. First and foremost the king usually never eats breakfast here at the table. But when he or the Queen arrives it’s customary to stand and greet them as well as the prince if he arrives along with the Queen and or King and wait till they sit before you do. If it is only Greyson joining us then it is customary to stand and curtsy with your greeting,” Marla demonstrated for them all, “And then wait for him before seating. Though I will warn you ladies he typically does not like the tradition, when it’s just you and him ladies I will tell you it’s fine not to greet him so but it’s good to practice this now for parties and important gatherings so I will expect you to do it in my presence so I can help you Perfect it if need be.” She smiled and continued with a few manned lessons on about silverware and how to sit and warn them all about the sunlight before having some servants open up the curtains more in the room. “That will be all for now but after breakfast we will be having a more detailed lesson and then you will have plenty of time with the Prince.” She smiled and took a seat at the table. “I hope everyone was able to sleep well last night? Did all your belongings arrive safely?”

From the sweet aroma of freshly-cut grass to the warm embrace of the dining room, Sasha found herself within the grand palace once again, having toured the garden with Elise prior to their summons. Sasha looked around and smiled at those of whom she met in the previous night. As the others settled in, the succubus pledged her full attention to the maid, of whom had been the gracious of host, detailing much of the etiquette that one must take upon themselves around the Royal Family. Lifting her voice slightly to answer Marla's general question, Sasha tucked in her hair behind her ears gracefully.

"My night was quite serene, although the alcohol did take its toll on my memories by dawn's light. Fufufu. I must commend your efforts, for what its worth. My belongings are safe and sound with great speed for my personal needs. Thank you." Sasha smiled, lending an ear to the other's cause, as she sat in her chair with patience as her proud virtue.

Within her heart, Sasha found a certain sense of comfort among the friendly faces, as well as Marla's words regarding the prince. Sentimental thoughts crept up on her, as she daydreamed about the fluffy texture of the Prince's ears. Even now, she could still feel every fibers of his hair within her hands. Is this a feeling of longing for a person, whose charms had caught the succubus's heart? Or perhaps it was just a curiosity of the mind that plagues her mind so? Sasha has yet to find an answer for her eruptions of feelings, and so, she cast her thoughts aside, reading the faces around her.

Royal Dining Room; Talking to Everyone
Prince Greyson had fallen asleep quite quickly after his comforting bath that night and woke up to Marla awaiting him to get out of his bed. He really didn't want to but the contestants meant a lot to him and so he rushed right out of bed and got ready, once again dressed in something casual but this had a different sense of air to it since it seemed somewhat royal at the same time containing his favorite color green with gold trim around the seems of his outfit. He yawned as he finally made his way to the Royal Dining room where Marla and the rest of the Contestants awaited him. "Heh...morning everyone, sorry for my lateness the maids were kinda trying to force me to wear proper attire but yet they have somewhat failed again." He chuckled to himself and meowed happily as he bowed and sat at the table near Sasha and Twila. "I hope you all enjoy yourselves here and enjoy the food of course. It's one of the best parts." He smiled cutely giving dreamy kitten eyes as he thought of the food that would soon arrive for breakfast.

Story
Cassie was delighted to find her books and star charts in perfect order, her scrolls neatly rolled u, her books stacked with no pages folded or crumpled. Among with her books was a telescope, which she presumed her father had insisted she take it with her. She hadn't used her telescope in so long, but it warmed her heart to think that her father had thought to give it to her while she was away from home. And of course, her clothes were there, including some of her most beautiful dresses.

She was greeted by Marla and Fayette, the latter of which helped her to get dressed. in a simple yet elegant gown with silver beading. Cassie found Fayette to be quite deft with her hands as she did up Cassie's hair, all the while humming softly to herself. Cassie said nothing, letting Fayette work quietly before she was escorted to the dining hall, where she sat patiently and listened carefully to Marla's instructions.

Vita nodded at Marla. "Yes, everything was accounted for and arrived perfectly." She spoke and let the others answer, glad to be sitting by Twila. The woman seemd very nice last night to Vita. When the Prince arrive she stood and did with out the curtsy. There was really no way she was going to do that. For now standing was enough. The woman sat down after he did and it was good enough practice for her. It was a really insignificant thing, why was it so important? He didn't even dress the part of a prince as he arrived at the table. It seemed to undermine Marla's brief etiquette lesson to Vita. That's and the kitten behavior, one could say it was lucky that she liked normal cats. It made the looked he gave them seem cute to her. Like him Vita was eager to eat as well. She wondered what kinds of foods would be served this morning. It took her mind off the lingering pain of burning herself before.
