butler at your service. What orders do you wish for me to do?"

  Jinx walked out of the elevator hearing the doors remained open behind him. He eyed the butler due to figuring out that the machine was programmed to say his words towards him whenever he entered the apartment via the elevator.

  He spoke "I need nourishment, a shower and clothes for I'm expected to attend a Master Organization meeting hosted by Father Barry tonight at seven o'clock so make it snappy on doing what I requested."

  He glared at the butler that spoke in response "I'm programmed to set aside the appropriate clothing on your bed as ordered. I'm also programmed in getting your meal on the table in the dining room once the cook finishes making it. As ordered by you and your doctor insisting on the nourishment and relaying various orders you need to keep your life while living here. Anything else you ordered not related to this I’m unable to do sir."

  He spoke hearing the familiar programmed words from the butler "Fine tell the cook to cook me two grilled cheese sandwiches and milk for drinking while I go shower and get myself ready for the meeting."

  Jinx walked away ignoring the butler following giving off beeping noises then heard from the thing "Orders relayed sir. I have orders to get the appropriate clothing for you to wear set out on the bed.

  Along with seeing that you're in the elevator at appropriately at six forty five pm for an in building meeting happening four hours from now according to my calculations.

  Your doctor says that your timed eating hour will happen at five o'clock as ordered. So sorry sir, that the nourishment order cannot be made at the moment."

  He ignored the butler to go the bedroom using it and the bathroom for his needs along with finding the clothes of a long sleeve top and pants both in the color of black that felt smooth on his skin along with sneakers in black with the socks. He found himself tired and took a lengthy nap due to feeling like needing to take one.

  He wound up woken up by the computerized alarm clock blaring its noises and the time of five o'clock along with it saying "Its time for you to eat."

  Jinks obeyed finding his meal set in the dining room consisted of greenery plants instead of his sandwich order along with a greened drink to his disgust.

  He heard from the butler "Your doctor says you're to take in this nourishment as ordered."

  He again glared at the butler and looked away to eat the food and drank the drink without complaint. Then went to the gym room finding again a hologram image of him appear in front of him as he faced each wall showing a mirror image of what he was doing his movements consisted of combative art moves along with an acrobatic ability not seen in Human males very much that despite very strong training. It was rarely produced results of acrobatic abilities despite Human females displaying it naturally with training.

  Jinks kept up the movements till there was a computer voice speaking "Physical activity over as ordered by doctor."

  He eyed the clock seeing it said "5:45pm."

  Jinx found that he had an hour to go before he was expected to leave went to his bedroom. He leaned back against the headboard with a pillow and shut his eyes figuring that he'll sleep. He slept till the computerized alarm clock woke him up five minutes to the desired time. He got up and went to the elevator which he met the butler there.

  Jinx eyed the butler who spoke "Ordered to give you command for elevator destination is to say 'Public room'. It'll take you to the floor holding the arranged meeting."

  He obeyed going into the elevator and spoke the command as ordered by the butler.

  He found the thing went down seemingly lengthy along with feeling of jerking to the side movements felt. He figured to himself that it was taking him either out of the building or some place else in there.

  Jinx didn't comment anything as the elevator's doors opened showing a narrow hallway with a male in a police uniform.

  A guard he assumed standing there underneath spotlights who spoke "Follow me Master."

  He followed leading him to a wall in the hallway that slid open and walked out to show a large hallway with rugged floors. He spotted the hidden door had a picture of a flower framed along with filming sensed.

  He wordlessly followed the guard down the hallway sensing filming stop till they reached double doors off the left side and gestured by the male to go inside.

  Jinx obeyed going inside to see a large room he recognized as the Master Organization's community room for holding a gathering of numerous people for discussing various subjects including discussing problems hitting the group. He saw people there making him feel nervous as they noticed him arrive but kept their distance.

  He saw Father Barry standing on the stage in the front of the room behind a microphone that spoke "Seeing that everyone is accounted for I might as well go ahead and speak my lecture as urged by you wanting me to do it."

  He stood in the way back of the room behind a crowd of people standing listening to Father Barry's talking voice amplified by microphone "People have feelings and that involves vessels of deities including one involving our deity named Lance Richard.

  Our vessel has communicated to me that people's treatment towards him have gotten him very upset enough to run away just to avoid those people. Running away doesn't solve any problems instead staying and confronting the problem does.

  Our vessel has managed to learn that he must tell people he expects to listen to him on what problem is plaguing him for help bettering his life. He has managed to admit this problem issue to me. I have oath to him that I will be one of those people who'll listen to him on whatever problem he has.

  The vessel has oath to me to talk to people including myself on what problem he has. It's for it'll help his life and help us all in the process.

  Please help me achieve this goal with the vessel and for the vessel to do this goal as well. Thank you very much for listening."

  Jinx heard an applause as Father Barry ended his talk to get off the stand and saw him wander around the group of people gathered nearby seeing them talking to the male. He noticing them glancing in his direction during their talk. He noticed others nearby looking in his direction with narrowed eyed looks.

  They appearing to refrain from going up to him and touching him. A behavior they have always seemed to have done towards him whenever he met members of the group in person via various situations around the city.

  He sighed feeling his nervousness stop abruptly that the Master Organization had finally gotten what he wanted from them. He sighed figuring out it was treating him as a person with feelings despite his vessel status.

  He sighed again himself figuring out that he finally was getting what they wanted him to give in response. It was admitting abilities that made him seem unnatural for Humans to have along with how he was feeling towards members' treatment towards him to people in the group. This included along with obeying to their request of being present at meetings for discussions on various subjects.

  Jinks sighed again feeling himself no longer felt the familiar feeling of fear.

  He mentally spoke to himself "I'm no longer afraid. I know what to do whenever I'm afraid. It is to talk it out to someone willing to listen to me."

  He heard from Lance blaring unexpectedly after being quiet for awhile "That is the lesson I was expecting you and group members to get. Regarding being afraid of each other so don't forget it and remember it period."

  He mentally spoke "I will, Father."

  Jinx sighed again and felt himself feeling happy smiled a small smile from the emotion hitting him. Due to figuring out that things will turn out better for him and the Master Organization members.

  Robert paused from his talk and spoke "Well grandchildren what is the lesson I want you to learn hmm?"

  He eyed his grandchildren and didn't spare his own four children with a narrowed eyed look ignoring their spouses sitting next to him while hearing throat clearing noises from one of them loudly.

  He resumed looking at his grandchildren
to see his youngest male grandchild, a five year old boy named Robert after him spoke loudly "The lesson is we should depend on Lance Richard to protect us from harm even comforting us when we're scared.

  The lesson is also telling people and Lance himself our fears instead of keeping it to ourselves or running away to hide. That's what I keep telling the babies here who are so stupid enough to not get it that Lance Richard exist and that he'll always help us."

  He heard arguments among the grandchildren arguing on who was stupid and who wasn't.

  He clapped his hands loudly getting their attention and spoke sounding firm "No one is stupid period. I don't give a care if there's stupidity or not.

  All I care is that your acknowledge Lance Richard for help with you having problems. That's due to being scared of something and needing protection like the lesson I've been trying to say for years, Hmph."

  He heard multiple groaning noises of adult tones as he gave the grandchildren each one a glare who appeared to gulp from his look.

  Robert his grandson was heard again "Alright Grampa we get it that Lance Richard is always guarding us from harm including helping us when we're scared. Besides whatever Grampa says about Lance Richard is the truth period isn't it, cousins?"

  He heard scattered agreements among his grandchildren to see that they agreed with Robert to sit leaning back in the chair eyeing them listening to his grandson talk loudly on how to communicate with
