When you're a demon, detention involves cleaning the dungeon

"I just came in to see if you were ready for your first day of punishment," your brother, Prince Kuhraleutgq, tells you. "I am, no thanks to you," you reply. "I gather that you didn't mention to the elders that the only reason that I was in the Grand Master's spellroom was to stop YOU from filching one of his potions." "A prince can do no wrong," Kuraleutgq says airily. "Yeah, right," you mutter, "Now out, so I can get dressed. Or do I have to call Granny?" He dissappears in a flash. You don't blame him. The great demon mistress Alkhgaojgn is a force to be reckoned with. You're lucky she's taken a liking to you. She ate your uncle Akhagabjx, and half your family is in terror of her. You just wish that she had more time to spare from ruling the demon realm to look into what her youngest grandson was up to. You go down to the dungeon, where, lucky you, you're going to be spending the next week, from 8 AM to 3 PM, normal school hours. "Hey, Maude," you say to the three-headed hydra guarding the door. Demons are the only ones in the realm allowed civilized names. "Hey, yourself," she calls back."What'd you do this time?" "This time it wasn't my fault," you reply, "but it's my word against prince full-of-himself's, and I lost. I'd better not complain, though, or else the elders are likely to double my detention." "Better get to it, then," she says, opening the door, "Pat doesn't like it when people are late." You agree wholeheartedly. Pat, the head guard, is extremely short-tempered, and rules not followed to the letter are met with extreme punishment. Any mention of gender with regards to Pat is also met with extreme punishment. NEVER call Pat "it" if you value your life. Calling Pat "he" or "she" is also dangerous, and is likely to score you a few crushing blows to tender parts of your anatomy. Pat is always referred to as "Pat" by those in the know. But you're woolgathering. Fortunately, you've been hurrying down the stairs as you think, and are approaching Pat's office at the mouth of the dungeon proper. You give the door at the foot of the stairs three hard knocks. "Who is it?" a gruff voice barks. "It's me," you tell Pat. The door opens. "Ah, princess," Pat says, "how the mighty have fallen...again." "Yes, Pat," you answer. "Luckily for you, you are on time," Pat grins cruely, "Have rumors been spreading about Jkheblrewbliewb's unfortunate run-in with the angry swarm of fire-breathing flying pigs?" You decide that's a rhetorical question, as the incident is already infamous. "So," Pat continues,"It's time for your first task."
