I would like to introduce three scientists for the purpose of moving the individual plots forward:
Scarlet, who will be paired with Cronos and Sasuke
Royce, who will be paired with Amelia and Red
Kingsley, who will be paired with Noctis and Dryft

@Sasukewolf (madness)

Cronos focused his hazel gaze on Sasuke with a deep frown, a little peeved that the man had gone through his memories. He shifted to one side, slowly standing back up and keeping his eyes on Sasuke the entire time as he did so. He disregarded Sasuke's statement about Red, not truly caring unless he was given the whole story which he doubted he would be. "Mm." He scratched at his scraggly looking chin, the stubble on it sharp and prickly as he ran his fingernails gently over the individual hairs. The man walked out of the misty, inky darkness that surrounded both he and Sasuke, his gaze resting on the Camera for a moment. He knew who was watching him... He could hear steps coming closer to the door and his frown deepened. He turned around, his back to Sasuke as he faced the door, bending down to pick up his knife between his thumb and forefinger, slowly wrapping he rest of his fingers around it. Cronos watched from where he stood as the door began to creak open, and his grip tightened. "Scarlet." He said curtly as the door swung open to reveal a woman in a lab coat, her eyes only focused on Cronos and her hand busy as she wrote down something on the clipboard the female held in her hands, pursing her lips as she did so.

"Subject X-34, please refer to be as Doctor- or Dr. Scarlet if you must use my name." Scarlet replied curtly, focusing her clear blue gaze on Sasuke. She allowed a small smile to twitch at the edge of her mouth and she wrote something down on the plastic clipboard, flipping through a couple of papers. The woman was beautiful in a striking, sharp way. Long blonde hair fell in waves down her shoulders and curled into ringlets by the time they reached her waist. Her eyes were a stormy-sky blue, reflecting her personality clearly through their cold color. She wore a red blouse with a tight black office skirt, the lab coat resting on her shoulders stained at the edges with blood and other unnamed things. She pulled out a simple recording device, flipping the switch on. "Doctor Scarlet Cadaver. Day 1 of Project H.E.L.L. Subject X-34 has successfully summoned Demon-665." She spoke clearly into the device, tucking the clipboard and pen into her coat and attaching the device to her front pocket so she could work while she spoke. "The Ritual itself involves spilling the blood of the one summoning the demon, resulting in a deep laceration capable of killing the subject if said laceration is not treated immediately after summoning the demon. X-34's bloodloss appears to be minimal. Treating wound." She pulled out a roll of bandages and a tube of disinfectant. "End recording." She stopped the device and tucked it away before turning to Cronos. "Right then, X-34. Give me your arm." She gestured for Cronos to comply, which he did. She rubbed the disinfectant into the wound, a hiss escaping from the man as she did so. Soon after she wrapped his arm in bandages and tied it up. She put the supplies away and coughed delicately into her hand. "The higher ups have ordered me to give you a more spacious room to share with Demon-665." She informed Cronos, and turned towards the door. "Follow me."

Amelia bit down on her lip once more upon hearing that Red had looked through her memories, although she didn't feel upset. Just slightly embarrassed that he had seen what she had been like before this whole debacle. She looked up at him as he stood, contemplating his words. "O-okay." She agreed after a moment, standing up and dusting off the hospital gown. Her small hand grasped onto Red's, and she shook it gently. "Just, um... please don't damage anything." She managed to speak without her stutter, her eyes serious. "There are a lot of innocents here, both subjects and scientists that have no idea what they're creating is for the wrong reasons. There are only a handful of scientists that even know about us." She explained briefly, her blush returning back to her cheeks. She meekly took her hand away from Red's, looking down at her bare feet. She bit down on her bottom lip gently, before looking back up at Red. "Th-th-thank y-you." She managed, suddenly hugging Red and sniffling. She stood there for a moment, holding onto the taller demon before stepping back and clasping her hands together gently, looking back down at the ground. With a start, she glanced up and over at the door. The lights outside flickered back on, and footsteps began coming down the hall and closer to the door. Amelia squeaked slightly, her hair falling in front of her eyes and once more she bit down on her lip.

The door opened to reveal a tall, lean man with messy, rusty brown hair and glasses resting on his face in front of two large soft brown eyes and a smattering of freckles. He coughed into his hand, looking just as uncomfortable as Amelia did, awkwardly ringing his hands. "A-ah, it looks like you managed to summon a higher tier demon then, um, we... ah, expected." He blinked owlishly before flinching violently. "That-that is to say, ah, good job, Ame- Subject J-89." He cleared his throat and fumbled with his float a bit, pulling out a recorder. He clicked down the recording button, adjusting his glasses as he spoke into it, nervously glancing up at Red every so often. "Junior Scientist Royce Barrows here, ah... Day-Day 1 of Project H.E.L.L. Subject J-89 has, um, summoned Demon-667, rather successfully in-in fact." He paused to look at Amelia and grimaced. "High amount of bloodloss. Type A positive, will receive a blood transfusion. End recording." He bit down on his lip, just like Amelia did when she was nervous. "Well, um... I'll bring you to your new room and get you set up for a blood transfusion. Follow me!" He declared hurriedly, spinning around on his heel and walking out quickly. Amelia began following promptly, gesturing for Red to follow her for now.

Noctis nodded at Dryft's answer, frowning a little. "So you've never experienced typical things a human would?" He asked, tilting his head and looking at the demon in front of him incredulously. "Well, once we escape this lovely little prison, I'll be sure to amend that." He declared, standing up and crossing his arms over his chest. Once more, he felt quite chilly thanks to the thin, gaudy fabric he wore but he didn't complain. He did summon an ice demon after all; he would have to get used to the cold. The man chewed thoughtfully on the inside of his cheek, drifting off into thought as he considered what he could possibly expose the demon to. Coffee would be a good place to start, but not the rubbish stuff sold at Cafés... no, he would make it himself as soon as he got back home. Thinking of his cozy little house brought a chill to his spine. The place was likely home to rodents and bacteria by now, having been unoccupied for so long. He frowned at the thought and looked back at Dryft, pursing his lips in faint annoyance. "After I fix up my house, should it still be standing..." He muttered under his breath, striding forward. "Well, how about it? Help me leave this wretched place alongside a select few others, and I'll help you get used to the mortal realm." He held out his hand, looking up at the slightly taller being and smiling a little.

(Kingsley will come in the next post)
