		The wide, red-carpeted staircase behind you leads down to the ground floor of Zaranix's house.
		 To either side of you, a corridor leads off into other parts of the building, and you wonder which way you should go...

	<htmlContent tag="CORRIDOR"><![CDATA[

		Much like those found on the ground floor, these corridors are home to numerous fine paintings, cushioned chairs, and well-crafted cabinets.
		 Where once you might have been deeply impressed by the extravagant luxury of this incubus's mansion, you now find yourself thinking that it's not quite as grand as Lilaya's.

	<htmlContent tag="CORRIDOR_MAID_KELLY_SUBDUED"><![CDATA[

		The ivory-skinned succubus, Kelly, is slumped down against the wall.
		 Her pink maid's dress is hiked up around her waist, and she lets out moan after lewd moan as with one hand she fingers herself, while the other strokes up and down the length of her throbbing cock.

		It doesn't look like there are any other maids around to interrupt, so you could go ahead and have a little fun with her...

	]]>

	<htmlContent tag="CORRIDOR_MAID_KELLY_ENCOUNTER"><![CDATA[

		As you walk down the corridor, an ivory-skinned succubus, wearing a light pink maid's uniform, suddenly stands up from behind a cabinet.
		 She doesn't notice you at first, and continues to swipe her little feather-duster over the top of the wooden furniture, happily humming away as she works.

		Before you have a chance to take any action, however, she looks up and catches sight of you.
		 [kelly.speech(Ah! Sorry, [pc.miss]! I didn't know we were expecting guests! My name is Kelly, at your service!)]

		The maid curtsies as she says this, but as she stands up, the initial surprise of finding you wandering the corridors of her master's home wears off, and her eyes narrow down as she looks you up and down.
		 [kelly.speech(Wait a moment... I would have been told if guests were expected...)]

		The realisation that you're an intruder suddenly dawns on her, and she gasps,
		 [kelly.speech(Eek! That must mean you're a thief! Thief! Thief!)]

		Although she cries out in alarm, her shouts seem to be more of an accusation than a call for help, and she suddenly launches herself at you, all too eager to show you what she does to uninvited guests in her master's house.

		As you walk down the corridor, an ivory-skinned succubus, wearing a light pink maid's uniform, suddenly stands up from behind a cabinet.

		Before you have a chance to take any action, she looks up and catches sight of you.
		 [kelly.speech(It's you again! How do you keep on getting in here?! You'll pay for this, you thief! Thief! Thief!)]

		It doesn't look like any of the other maids of the household will interrupt you, so you decide to take this opportunity to have a little fun with Kelly.
		 Stepping over to where she's sunk down against the wall, you reach forwards and take hold of her arm, before pulling her to her feet.
		 Denied the freedom to get herself off, the horny maid looks up into your eyes, and you see them filled with a desperate, burning lust.

		She pushes herself off from the wall, wrapping her arms around your back and desperately pressing her [kelly.lips+] against yours.
		 You reciprocate the gesture, and after spending a few moments of sliding your tongues into one another's mouths, you pull back, grinning...

	<htmlContent tag="CORRIDOR_MAID_KELLY_SEX_SUBMIT"><![CDATA[

		Not willing to take the dominant role, but with a deep desire to have sex with the now-very-horny succubus, you walk up to where Kelly's collapsed against the wall, and sigh,
		 [pc.speech(Kelly... Erm... If you're feeling a little horny, perhaps you could use me? I mean, I-)]

		Despite the fact that you're a stranger in her master's house, Kelly looks up at you with an intense, burning passion in her eyes.
		 Sliding her hand out from under her dress, she jumps to her feet, interrupting your sentence as she grabs your head and pulls you into a desperate kiss.

		You reciprocate the gesture, but only spend a few moments sliding your tongues into one another's mouths before Kelly pulls back, moaning,
		 [kelly.speech(Oh yes! Fuck... I'm so fucking horny! I need you!)]

	<htmlContent tag="ROOM"><![CDATA[

		The door to this room is locked, and there's no sound of anyone within.
		 Knowing that it's sure to just be a dull and uninteresting dead-end, you decide against trying to force the door open, and turn around to continue on your exploration of Zaranix's home.

	]]>
	</htmlContent>

	<htmlContent tag="ZARANIX_ROOM"><![CDATA[

		All the other doors that you've passed so far have been pretty nondescript and uninteresting, but as you come to the end of this particular corridor, you see a curious purple flash shine out from beneath the one in front of you.
		 Moments later, you hear the voices of two people within, with the first being particularly loud and booming,
		 [zaranix.speech(Damn it, Arthur! How many times is this now?! If I wanted a standard transformative potion, I'd go and buy one!)]

		[arthur.speech(Bloody hell, Zaranix, I mean, how many times do I have to repeat myself? It's just not possible to make a demonic transformation!)]

		You feel your heart skip a beat as you hear that reply.
		 Even if it wasn't for the fact that Zaranix addressed him by name, you've met Arthur numerous times at Lily's museum, and that second voice is undoubtedly his.
		 Stepping closer to the door, you hear Zaranix continue,
		 [zaranix.speech(Bah! There must be a way! If anyone can find it, it's you!)]

		[arthur.speech(Well, I don't see why you couldn't have just hired me, instead of going to all that trouble to set me up and get me enslaved! Honestly, I don't know why I try at all!)]

		[zaranix.speech(As if you'd have agreed to work for me! Hah! And just to remind you, if you don't try your best, I'll have to hand you over to Amber. I'm sure she'd put you to good use!)]

		[arthur.speech(Bloody hell. I'm afraid that she's far more than I can handle. No, you keep that delightful little succubus to yourself, and I'll carry on trying to make the impossible, possible.)]

		[zaranix.speech(Good,)]
		 Zaranix grunts, signalling the end of their conversation.

		It doesn't sound like either one of them is going to leave this room any time soon, so, reaching out to take hold of the door's handle, you push it open and step inside...

	<htmlContent tag="ZARANIX_ROOM_ENTRY"><![CDATA[

		Well-lit by several ceiling-mounted, arcane-powered lights, and with a series of large windows set into the opposite wall, the spacious room that you find yourself stepping into is particularly well-illuminated.
		 Numerous bookcases and shelves line the walls to either side of you, and within the main body of the room itself, a number of long tables are being used to hold piles of books, racks of glass bottles, and boxes full of all sorts of raw alchemical ingredients.
		 As you enter, you find yourself thinking that this room looks very much like a small-scale version of Lilaya's laboratory, and, in another striking similarity to your aunt's lab, the sole occupants are this house's master and slave.

		Upon seeing you enter the room, the tall, purple-skinned figure of Zaranix turns towards you, and he shouts out,
		 [zaranix.speech(Who the hell are you?!)]

		As you look over towards him, you can't help but let out a gasp.
		 This world's version of Arthur, standing right beside the imposing incubus, looks exactly the same as the one you used to know.
		 His lanky, pale-skinned body, his bright blue eyes, and his mop of messy, dark-brown hair are all exactly as you remember them.
		 In fact, the only difference between this Arthur and the one from your world appears to be in his choice of clothing.
		 Instead of his usual tweed suit, this Arthur is wearing a lab coat and a pair of safety goggles, revealing the fact that, just like Lilaya, he's not a historian in this world, but an arcane researcher.

		[zaranix.speech(Well?! Explain yourself!)]
		 Zaranix calls out once more, striding towards you with an angry look on his face.

	<htmlContent tag="ZARANIX_ROOM_NO_EXPLANATION"><![CDATA[

		Deciding that it's probably better not to tell this strange demon about Lilaya, you simply stand your ground and demand,
		 [pc.speech(I'm here for Arthur. Hand him over, and I'll be on my way.)]

		Zaranix lets out a short, booming laugh,
		 [zaranix.speech(Hah! I think not! And how did you even get up here?! I would have been informed if there was a guest, which means you've forced your way in here!)]

		The incubus's tone grows angrier and angrier, and you see him clench his fist as he comes to a halt in front of you.
		 [zaranix.speech(I'll show you what I do to trespassers!)]

		Before you have an opportunity to respond, Zaranix launches himself at you, forcing you to defend yourself!

	]]>

	<htmlContent tag="ZARANIX_ROOM_EXPLANATION"><![CDATA[

		Deciding that it's probably best if you can resolve all of this without resorting to violence, you explain how your aunt is the half-demon Lilaya,
			 and, deciding to leave out the part where you were transported into this world, you tell him how she's in need of Arthur's help.
		 You recite your journey up until this point, noticing that each time you mention the name 'Lilaya', Zaranix's angry expression transforms more and more into one of defeat.
		 After a short while, you come to the end of your tale, and after telling the incubus how you managed to find out where Arthur was from Scarlett, you bring your story to an end,
		 [pc.speech(And so if I could buy Arthur from you, both my aunt and I would be extremely grateful. Without him, she's not going to be able to solve this problem of hers.)]

		[zaranix.speech(Hah!)] Zaranix half-laughs, half-sighs.
		 [zaranix.speech(So you're the [pc.race] who's moved in with Lilaya? Yes, I know who you are. I may not get out much, but I still keep my ear close to the grapevine.)]

		[arthur.speech(Bloody hell! Lilaya wants my help does she?)]
		 Arthur interjects.
		 [arthur.speech(The last I heard, oh, what was it now... Oh yes! She was going to 'blast me into a million pieces, or banish me into an alternate dimension' the next time she saw me.
			 I mean, considering that nobody's managed to travel between dimensions before, I couldn't quite take her threat seriously, but she did seem to be pretty angry.
			 Maybe I'd be better off staying he-)]

		[zaranix.speech(Be quiet, Arthur!)]
		 Zaranix shouts.
		 [zaranix.speech(You really do drone on!)]

		Turning back towards you, the incubus continues,
		 [zaranix.speech(Today's your lucky day I suppose... You'll be getting what you're after.
			 I may have wealth and a modicum of power in this city, but having never been recognised by my Lilin mother, I'd be a fool to stand against the wishes of a demon who has.
			 And it's not just any demon! Hah! Lyssieth's precious little half-demon herself!)]

		With a defeated sigh, Zaranix steps over to a nearby chair, before sinking down into it and looking over to Arthur.
		 [zaranix.speech(You won't need to trouble yourself with these experiments anymore, I suppose.
			 If truth be told, you'd already convinced me making a demonic transformative wasn't going to happen after your first day here.
			 It's a moot point now anyway. Lilaya wants you back, so go on, you're free.)]

		[arthur.speech(Well, bloody hell! Maybe I'll see you around, Zaranix. It wasn't too bad living here, all things considered!)]
		 Arthur says, before turning to you.
		 [arthur.speech(I'll go on ahead, so I suppose I'll see you over at Lilaya's place!)]

		With that, he steps past you and makes his exit, leaving you alone in the lab with the gloomy-looking incubus.

		 [pc.speech(I'd like to show you my thanks...)]

		Looking up at you with a grin, Zaranix spreads his legs a little wider.
		 [zaranix.speech(Well, if I can get at least a little compensation for losing my slave, I'll gladly take it!)]

		 [kelly.speech(Oops!)]
		 she cries, pretending that it was by accident.

		You grin as you hear Zaranix's affectionate name for Amber.
		 [pc.speech(So you hired Amber before the sisters?)]

		[zaranix.speech(That's right!)]
		 Zaranix booms.
		 [zaranix.speech(I went to a local agency, and, not really knowing what I was doing, I signed a contract to hire the first maid that they offered me.
		 Little did I know that I'd just been scammed!
		 I tell you, when I answered the door to Amber the next day, I was sure that there had been some sort of mistake!
		 The very instant that I met her, she started scolding me, insulting me, and forcing me to help her clean the house!)]

		[pc.speech(That sounds like her,)]
		 you say, smiling as you imagine that first day's interaction between Amber and Zaranix.

		[zaranix.speech(Yes, well, I put up with it for that first day, intent on firing her after she left.
		 You can imagine my surprise when Amber informed me, just after making me prepare her some dinner, that she wasn't going home, and that she now lived with me!
		 I immediately ran down to the agency, just in time to catch them before they closed for the evening.
		 That's when I found out that the contract I signed bound me to hire Amber for no less than five years!
		 Defeated, I went back home to suffer a severe scolding from my new maid...)]
		 A deep, booming laugh bursts out of Zaranix's mouth as he recollects his experience.
		 [zaranix.speech(After that, however, things started to get better.
		 Over the next few weeks and months, Amber's fiery temper started to cool, and she eventually began to act like a proper maid, even so far as to start calling me 'master'.)]

		[pc.speech(And Kelly and Katherine?)]
		 you inquire.
		 [pc.speech(When did you hire them?)]

		[zaranix.speech(Ah, that was after I moved into this house here.
		 Amber told me that this place was too large for her to keep clean alone, so I sent her to hire a couple more maids.
		 Kelly and Katherine were her choices, not mine,)]
		 Zaranix says, smiling.
		 [zaranix.speech(Apparently, they've only ever worked as a pair, and had caused quite a bit of trouble in their previous posts.
		 Thanks to that, they were considerably cheaper than similarly experienced maids, and their troublesome ways were soon dealt with by Amber. Hah!)]

		Coming to the end of his long story, Zaranix stands up, before smiling at you in his friendly manner.
		 [zaranix.speech(So, is there anything else you'd like to talk about?)]

	<htmlContent tag="ZARANIX_ROOM_EXPERIMENTS"><![CDATA[

		[pc.speech(What are all these experiments that you're running?)]
		 you ask, curious about what the incubus is working on.
		 [pc.speech(You were trying to get Arthur to make a demonic transformative potion, weren't you?)]

		[zaranix.speech(That's right!)]
		 Zaranix booms, gesturing to the room around you with an open palm.
		 [zaranix.speech(This entire setup was created with that goal in mind.
		 It soon became apparent, however, that such a transformative is impossible to produce.
		 No, the only ways someone becomes a demon is through being born as one, or transformed into one by a Lilin's arcane power.)]

		[pc.speech(So what are you working on instead?)]
		 you ask, keen to hear the answer to your first question.

		[zaranix.speech(Nothing ground-breaking, honestly.)]
		 Zaranix sighs.
		 [zaranix.speech(I'm mainly trying to improve the efficiency of my alchemical processes.
		 I only sell my potions in bulk to suppliers around the city, and one of them, a particularly rough wolf-girl named Vicky, is always demanding more of me.
		 Honestly, it seems as though every female in my life is competing to see which one can be the most dominant...)]

		Shaking his head, Zaranix looks back up at you.
		 [zaranix.speech(Anything else on your mind?)]

	<htmlContent tag="ZARANIX_ROOM_INCUBUS_FORM"><![CDATA[

		[pc.speech(Almost all of the demons that I see are succubi. In fact, you're the only incubus that I've had any significant contact with,)]
		 you say as you lead up to asking Zaranix why he isn't like the vast majority of demons.

		Sensing the incoming question, Zaranix chuckles as he cuts you short.
		 [zaranix.speech(Why do I choose to stay as an incubus?
		 To tell the truth, I'm not really too attached to one form or another, but staying as a male has its advantages.)]

		[pc.speech(Such as?)]

		Zaranix grins and glances down at his crotch.
		 [zaranix.speech(Well, I am partial to a bit of oral sex, so not having to grow myself a cock every time I get horny sure is good! Hah!)]
		 he booms, the grin on his face widening into a big smile.
		 [zaranix.speech(Anything else you want to talk about?)]

	<htmlContent tag="ZARANIX_ROOM_BLOWJOB"><![CDATA[

		[pc.speech(Well, I did come here with something on my mind...)]
		 you say in your most seductive tone.
		 [pc.speech(I really am grateful that you let me take control of Arthur, and I was wondering if you'd let me show you my appreciation.)]

		[zaranix.speech(Oh, really? Well, this is a pleasant revelation!)]
		 Zaranix smirks, taking a step back and sitting down on a nearby chair.
		 [zaranix.speech(I am partial to a bit of oral, and those lips of yours sure look good.)]

		Grinning, you step forwards and sink to your knees before the imposing incubus.
		 [pc.speech(That sounds good to me! Now sit back and relax. I'll take care of you...)]

	<htmlContent tag="AFTER_SEX_ZARANIX_BLOWJOB"><![CDATA[

		Zaranix pats you on the head, before standing up and getting his clothes back in order.
		 [zaranix.speech(Thanks, [pc.name]. That was just what I needed!
		 I really should get on with these experiments now, but if you're ever in the neighbourhood again, do drop in and say hello!
		 I'd love to get another feel of those lips wrapped around my cock. Hah!)]

		Smiling at Zaranix, you stand up and step back.
		 [pc.speech(Sure thing, Zaranix! I had a good time with you today.)]

		[zaranix.speech(Likewise,)]
		 the imposing incubus states, grinning at you.
		 [zaranix.speech(Do please visit again! Oh, and if you could, put in a good word with Lilaya about me, hmm?)]

		[pc.speech(I will,)]
		 you say, heading towards the door.
		 [pc.speech(Bye!)]

		[zaranix.speech(Goodbye! Oh, and don't let Amber be too harsh on you, ok?)]
		 Zaranix waves, before turning his back on you and returning to his experiments.

		Pushing open the bedroom door, you step back outside into the corridor, wondering where to go next...
