Jhope pov.
It's time to do the task, why won't Namjoon act seriously? This could cost us our lives for God sake.
"Okay, the first riddle is so easy, you should fly through this!" Namjoon says, "Your time starts Now!" Jimin and I listen to Namjoon's words carefully. "What word- haha- is spelled incorrectly- in the d-dictionary-" he laughs as he speaks.
That can't be a serious riddle can it? It's too easy! "Incorrectly, duh!"

"You know, Jin, it may look dumb, especially from me, but it's just testing the waters," the demon says, Jin nods lightly with the demon's hand still placed on his forehead. "How is it testing the waters Yoongi?" Jin asks,
"It makes them think that this challenge is a breeze so they won't over think the riddles I have in store, but it also makes them overconfident, so it's testing who they are as humans." Yoongi replies thoughtfully
"Being wise is key to survival."

Jimin pov.
Jhope answered that riddle without a thought, it was really simple. But, I don't think that it would be that easy all the way through.
We should remain aware of what these twisted games have in store for us.
"Okay, that was simple," Namjoon says, lowering his tone to whisper to himself "I can't believe he can be so leanient."
"Next one?" Jhope questions, nudging Namjoon.
"Yes, of course," Namjoon says immediately.
Jhope and I exchange glances, as to say "let's do this shit," which we were going to do but I wanted to reassure Jhope.
We saunter around the purple room, trying not to bump into anything. I notice a smashed television, it wasn't new. It looks about 40 years old, just from the sillhouete. There was also a sofa that I realised was in the corner. I daren't touch it, however.
Jhope stumbles upon a chest, it seemed to be locked, "do we need this?" He asks, shaking it to see what was inside.
"You must complete the task at hand," Namjoon says sternly. "Okay, next riddle,"
"This is more like it!" Namjoon's darkened face forms into a smirk, "I am a mother and a father, but have never given birth, I'm rarely still, yet I never wonder, what am I?"
"What?" I say puzzled. "You can't be a mother and a father!"
"Did you assume their position?" Jhope laughs,
"Dude, just stay serious we need to work this out!"
"Mother, father, moves but also doesn't, never given birth," I say quietly,
"Jimin, think about something not human, that'll help a lot I think, I know it's not something human." Jhope says.
I march up and down in a line with my hand gently pulling my hair.
"I don't understand!"
"Actually think Jimin!"
It has to be something alive, it has to be. A parent, an asexual! Something that is both a mother and a father which reproduces by itself. "You have an idea?" Jhope says, noticing the spark in my eyes.
"YES!" I reply, jumping a few inches off the ground, "asexual!"
"Asexual?" Puzzled, Jhope asks, "What does that have to do with- oh my God, I think you're onto something Jimin!"
Jhope pov.
But what reproduces asexually?
Why is this so relevant anyway? Asexual creatures have nothing to do with us!
Oh wait- No, it cant be.
I won't ignore it though...
"Think about things that aren't animals but are alive." I say, leading onto what I first thought.
"It has to be a plant,"
"Exactly what I was thinking."
"A plant that can move,"
I start walking past Namjoon then back to Jimin, i do this a few times as i think of what to do next. Does it have to be a plant that moves by itself? "Does it have to be a plant that moves by itself?" I ask Namjoon.
"I cant help,"
"I believe it doesnt move by itself but by the aid of something, like a bug or something natural," Jimin states.
"But we dont know what habitat the plant is from so there will be to many things to count!" I reply.
"Maybe we could look for clues in the room, its a long shot but we should try it,"
Namjoon pov.
I believe that theyre getting the hang of this, looking for clues was a smart move, they will definitely find the answer to this puzzle. "Theres multiple trunks?" Jimin asks, shocked.
"Seems to be," Jhope replies, "They also seem to have writing engraved on the lock, its too small for me to make out though,"
"Those words are probably significant to the riddle,"
"Yeah,"
I look at the humans in almost disbelief, theyre working this out rather quickly.

"Theyre getting the hang of this aren't they Jin." Yoongi asks rhetorically. Observing the boys, Jin's eyes light up. "Theyre going to crack this!" He thinks to himself.
"Jin, I think its time you actually fullfilled your duties instead of watching your friends."
"You havent given me any,"
"Because I gave you a rest, im not completely heartless." Yoongi says, still spectating Jimin and Jhope's actions. Jin looks hopeful, "theyre both very intelligent you know Yoongi,"
"Dont worry, i know, but they may not be smart enough for my tasks," Yoongi smirks at Jin. They stop watching for a moment, Namjoon realises and watches the boys more carefully.
"You need some new clothes, human fashion is so pathetic," Jin looks puzzled but doesn't reply.
Yoongi pov.
Human's are weird. They wear colours that dont even exist in thid realm. Why am I talking about fashion? Its such a dumb human thing to think of.
I laugh under my breath. Standing, I wipe my leather jeans and saunter towards my red throne.
Yes, throne.
"Is this your chair Yoongi?" Jin asks in a low tone, inspecting my throne.
"Its my throne, dont you dare touch it," I say agressively. Jin backs up a few steps as I smile. I just sit back down where I was to spectate the humans. Jin joins me.
What the...
