Sethyr and Marna took the side stairs and went on stage. The former stood on the large rose pattern on the black wooden floor and gazed at the spectating area below.
"Here is were our underworld-famous shows take place on Sunday evenings. The event lasts for around two hours. We offer a wide range of demonstrations" -- he paused, glancing at Marna to see if she got his pun -- "acrobatics, firebreathing, beast taming, dancing... During the rest of the week, we sprinkle little action here and there. Shiva auctions paintings she made and I do some magic tricks. This stage is our pedestal."
The girl looked up at the intricate lighting system, imagining how a sunday night felt here. "You sure seem to love giving performances."
"Why, yes, responded the demon. My dream is to own a travelling circus where all of my current employees and new recruits could perform. This bar is merely my money-maker."
"That is quite the aspirations you got there, Master Rosica", said Marna.
"Quit calling me Master! It gives me weird tingles when Shiva does it..."
"Hmmm?"
"Please forget it, my lady"
They then lifted the red velvet curtains and ended up in a large backroom filled with lockers, each identified with a name.
"Each of my employees has their own locker where they put their personal items during show nights. Uniforms are kept in a separate dressing room, next to the makeup booths. Katyusha takes care of all that.
-Wow, she must be really busy all by herself!, exclaimed the human
- Ah, well the costumiere, Vivian, is the one who went missing.
-Aren't you worried?
-That I cannot say for now."
After taking a look, Sethyr showed Marna other corners of the building before heading back to his quarters. He told her to sit down and briefed on her cleaning duty. She learned that she would actually work during weekend and would help out the performers on sundays. The more she knew about this place, the more she was eager to meet other friendly demons. When they were done, Sethyr drove her back home in his black limousine and waved at her dad, who was once again waiting for his daughter.
