Logs From The Demon World

'Meet me in the greenhouse as soon as you can! I have something I’d like to show you! Also there will be another person there, hope you don’t mind! See you soon! ~Alisa Woods' That was the letter Brutus just received from Andrew. It was strange to him. He never figured he would get any type of invitation from anyone. Who would want to be around him? He figured it would be rude to not accept the offer though. He was admittedly curious as to what the gardener could’ve wanted to show him. But who was this other person? These were the thoughts he was having while walking down to the greenhouse, waving to some of the other hunters that were in the living room. After getting to the greenhouse, he was about to open the door when-

"Oh, Brutus! Hi!” Mary exclaimed. She looked somewhat in a hurry, but not in a bad way, more so in an excited way. Was this the other person Alisa was talking about?

"Hello Mary. Did you get a letter from Alisa too?" Brutus asked, walking slightly away from the door while Mary walked over to it.

"Yeah I did. She said she wanted to show me something." Mary replied. 'Did she just send the same letter to both of us? What could she want?' Brutus thought before Mary opened the door to the greenhouse. The sun was very bright today, so the two had to shield their eyes a little to be able to see properly.

"Hey you two! Over here!" Alisa shouted. She was pushing a tote with what seemed to be bags of flower seeds inside.

"Hey Alisa, what did you want to show us?" Mary asked, walking down the steps into the greenhouse proper. Brutus was still standing at the top of the steps and gave a small wave to Alisa.

"Well I did some digging around the manor with Grace…" Alisa rummaged through the tote before holding out a bag of bellflower seeds with both of her hands "and it turns out there’s a bunch of different types of flower seeds around here!". She looked very proud of herself by making this discovery.

"And these are just one of many!" She put the seeds back into the tote before pushing it closer to where Mary was standing "how about you both come and take a look? I have all of the other supplies for you two!". Mary walked over to the tote with Brutus following shortly afterwards, finally going down the steps.

"Was this all you wanted to show us?" Brutus asked. He quickly realized how this may have sounded rude so he backed up and put his hands up, as if he was surrendering "not trying to be rude! I just wanted to know…".

"Well this wasn’t all I wanted…" Alisa said before walking back towards the empty flowerbeds and picking up a gardening towel "I wanted for you guys to try gardening! Alongside finding those seed packets…" She turned around and made a small hole in the soil "Grace and I found that the soil was perfect for growing anything seemingly year round! Guess it’s just another strange magical element this place has."

"Out of curiosity, why did Grace even care for any of this?" Mary asked, she had also picked out a bag of scabiosa seeds.

"Well she wanted to know if she could possibly plant anything to attract insects to answer your question." Alisa responded. She gestured Mary over to the flowerbeds and showed her where the other tools were so she could get them.

"Oh Brutus, did you find anything you liked?" Alisa asked while walking over to Brutus who was still rummaging through the tote.

"These look nice…" Brutus said, holding up a bag of cosmos seeds "but are you sure you want for me to do this? I don’t want to ruin anything…" Brutus said, looking slightly down and concerned

"Of course I want for you to do it! I think it’d be a nice thing for you to try!" Alisa exclaimed, looking very hopeful "now come on! I’ll show you where you can start." Alisa said while guiding Brutus over to the flowerbed next to Mary’s. The three spent most of the rest of the day gardening. With Brutus finding a new hobby, and group of friends that he could spend his time with.

Lizzy co-owns a boutique with Jack (she dragged him into it but he didn’t resist per-se)

Alisa and Belle work at Lizzy’s boutique as "proper" employees (i.e they do designing and tailoring)

Patches works at the boutique too, but he more so functions as a mannequin for Alisa & Belle to practice their designs on, he’s happy with it though, he views it as helping the employees, and letting him get what he considers a "makeover"

Lizzy loves making clothes for Jack via the boutique, and fortunately for her, he loves getting them from her, even if he’s very bashful about receiving them

Mel and Hans co-own a candy store together! Mel repeatedly asked Hans to purchase a part of the mall to make a store, but he wasn’t very certain if he could do anything well

It eventually ended with Hans caving and buying a part of the mall in exchange for Mel deciding what the store would be and she chose a candy store! (Which of course she did)

Alex works at Hot Topic, not elaborating further

Luca and Mary are employees together at a makeup store. Mary originally had the job and Luca decided to work there too as he both got to be with her, and he also liked makeup too so it was a win-win for him

Sharlie works multiple jobs at the mall at once

Brutus works as security at the mall, and is very frequently trying to catch Victor

Victor, being the man with a criminal record that he is, illegally works in the mall, offering people "medicines" in exchange for abysmally high sums of money

If anyone even stares at him for a few milliseconds, he will sprint full force towards them and will not stop until he catches up to them and is able to offer them his medicines (think like how shoe cleaners do it)

Victor very frequently has to run in and out of the mall with his "business" trying to hide from Brutus

Baphomeeko works at a bookstore her dad owns! If people ever asked or complained about her working there due to her age, her dad just says "Well she’s doing a good job now isn’t she?" and she very much so is

Fu-Lan has a small booth/stall near the center of the mall where she does things such as tarot readings

Lulu has a pop-up band they conduct during any events the mall holds (things such as holiday celebrations, or just any events Shopkeeper can think of making up)

Grumpkin works at a Spirit Halloween alongside Billy Kid

For the admittedly short time the store has business, they both work really hard as to where Draco (their manager) is very insistent on them taking breaks and that he can handle it, these are usually dismissed very quickly by the two though

When Halloween actually rolls around, Grumpkin usually leaves Billy Kid to handle the store by himself while Grumpkin goes hiding around the mall in his pumpkin form, jumping out at people when they get close

Shyna doesn’t actually work at the mall, she’s just a customer, also a very rare customer

The few times she does come to the mall though, everyone’s happy to see her, welcoming her as warmly as they can

Hunt is also a customer, albeit a far more regular one at the mall

He mainly goes around like normal, but always stops to let people pet his dogs

Krowe King works at a bakery, and no he doesn’t use his tongue because even he acknowledges that that’s really gross (he does use it at the end of the day though to eat any leftover food they didn’t sell which may or may not be the main reason he took the job in the first place)

Maisy works at a mattress store (lets her test more comfy mattresses, she’s very eepy)

Ai and Alexus run a antique shop together… kind of…

Whilst Ai properly runs the store, Alexus is honestly more so there for moral support (and also to take any antiques he thinks he could use for any inventions)

Alexus taking various antiques does annoy Ai quite a bit, even if Alexus makes something out of them for Ai as a thanks

Shopkeeper likes to go around the mall every once in a while in whatever mascot outfit he can think of, he’s the mall Santa during the holidays too
