You woke up because you fell from your chair. Herobrine quietly laughed because he once again was staring at you. The other two were once again asleep. Nothing changes. You rolled your eyes and picked up the stuff that fell because of your quick nap. You sighed and looked at the plastic flower that was here before you. It was a small, colorful, and plastic flower. You didn't know what flower it is, tho. You looked at the cells, wondering what the guys were doing. You sorted the stuff on the desk pretty quick and stood up.

Entity was reading a book that you gave him. They didn't have anything in the cell and were not allowed to have anything in there, but since no one checks on you or them, you gave him the book to read. He seemed chill anyway and deserves it, you thought. Null was sleeping, leaning his body against the cold obsidian wall. They all seemed way too chill for the worst beings to ever walk on Minecraftia's lands. Everyone except for the Herobrine. The troublemaker. He was eating his dinner. He noticed your stare and made an angry expression just for a moment before continuing on his dinner. It was a warm chicken-carrot soup, some bread and mashed potatoes. Quite filling, you guessed. You walked over to his cell window, knocking in it with your hand, feeling kind and friendly. You asked, "How's the dinner?" he answered with a slightly annoyed growl but looked at you and nodded. After he swallowed a piece of bread, he said, "Probably better than your cooking if you even can do something as simple as that, you difficult female." he huffed and continued eating.

You made an unamused expression and sat on the chair again, opening your dinner. You placed it on a plastic plate and quickly but carefully started eating. You wanted to go home already. Herobrine had already finished and was starting at you. You shot him a look as if asking why he is looking at you. A few seconds later, a small paper bag flew out of his cell. That's how he always told you that you need to clean the trash. Ugh, King. You rolled your eyes and quickly finished your food, cleaning the table and picking up their trash. Everyone except for Herobrine gave you the trash through the cell window. After you threw it all away and grabbed your stuff, you gave Null some paper and pen, like he asked while you were throwing the trash away. He thanked you and took the stuff. Herobrine growled, wanting some attention. "What?" You asked him, walking over to his cell. He motioned you to come closer.

"What do you want?" He looked away for a second before looking back at you. "You gave them things. Aren't it's against the rules?" He tilted his head in confusion. You nodded at him. "You want something too?" You asked him, feeling bad that you didn't ask him before. He was a jerk but still deserves at least something. They all were bored as hell here. "Any books? Paper and something to write?" He looked down, thinking about your offer. After a few moments, he looked you in the eyes. "What do you want in exchange, woman?" You shook your head "Nothing". He squinted his eyes at you, clearly thinking that you're lying but decided to give in. "Perhaps some newspaper, pens, and a book about Nether?" Weird choice, but you nodded at him."I'll see what I can do," and with that, you left.

You grabbed your stuff, got dressed in your normal clothes, and after saying goodbye to everyone on the third floor and first, you headed home. It was a warm spring day and around 9 pm. You always got back home quite late. After around 20 minutes or so, you were back home, greeted by your cat, who was happily rubbing its soft body against your legs. "Hey C/N, hey, girlie," (I hope no one will mind if cat will be a girl?) you giggled and shooed the cat away a little so you could take the outside clothes off. She let out a loud meow, telling you that she wanted attention and food. As always. You didn't mind that, laying on the couch with your affectionate and loving cat on your lap as you scratched behind its ears while it was purring. You got dressed in your home clothes, and after making C/N dinner and a little snack for yourself, you sat on the couch and turned on the TV.

Sadly, your snacks lasted for around 15 minutes or so, so you got up and washed the cat's bowl and your plate. You didn't turn the TV off but decided to read the book. C/N climbed on your lap and began purring loudly.  But of course, she didn't let you read for too long before she started asking for more love and attention. You sighed and placed the book away, carefully grabbing her head as you began to kiss her fluffy forehead, her favorite spot. It was nice that she was so affectionate, but sometimes she didn't let you do much because she wanted to do it with you or have your full attention. You scratched her for a little while longer, and she jumped off to watch the TV. You think that she didn't understand a thing but just lived watching the colorful images that kept flashing on it.

You did some more personal stuff and soon went to bed with C/N, who quickly jumped to snuggle near you. She had a cat bed, but you couldn't force her to lay there. If she wanted to sleep with you then... oh well... why not. The night was bright and starry. The moonlight was shining in the floor from your window, making a small cube shaped light spot to form on the wooden floor. You started at it for a while, not thinking about anything in particular, and didn't even notice how you quickly fell asleep with C/N in your legs.

You woke up to the alarm clock, which woke C/N up first and then you. You quickly turned that loud thing off, and after a few more moments of lying in bed, you got up and washed your tired face. You got here a few days ago and already hated them all. Just like your last job. At least those 3 weren't as bad as people on your last job. Oh, right, you promised Herobrine to bring some stuff to him, too. But lucky you, you had all that he asked for. Why did you have the book about Nether? You had a chance to visit it once, during the Herobrine's rule over it, so you had to learn what's going on in there, right? You fed C/N, made yourself breakfast, got dressed, and grabbed your stuff. As you were about to leave, you picked up C/N and gave her a soft kiss on the forehead. "I'll be back soon, sweetheart, take care. You know where the food and water is, " you told here before quickly leaving.

As you were putting your stuff away in the locker, you heard a knock on the heavy metal door. "Wait a minute outside," you told them and decided to try and dress faster. You jumped out of the door, stumbling upon your own shoes to see Josh. "Hey," you told him, bowing slightly. He nodded. "I have some news for you." You looked up, curious. "Next Friday, boss told me that someone will come to visit your floor. I don't know who this is but he told me that you need to prepare for them and make the floor look... less terrible. Probably someone from higher ranks, so if you don't want to lose your job here, probably be aware of that. " You nodded. Oh? Is someone gonna come to check on these three? Interesting.
