Theric rolls out of bed and forces himself to his feet. He's had many a late night and even early mornings, but almost never together. He promises himself to find a way to lessen his need for sleep using magic. A highly useful thing, at least in his current state of mind. Luckily he was light on the alcohol the night before. He'd hate to be one of the others right now. The liquor was flowing freely.
He cleans up quickly using a spell and gets his uniform on, more magic cleans it and removes the wrinkles. He then quickly combs his hair and heads out with the others at the appointed time.

Magus Ecks on the 7 day: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Yevas hates the next six weeks. It is not so much the early starts and the late nights or the hard work; after all he is a fit, young man. No, it the mind numbing boredom of the tasks. In fact before the end of the first day, he starts work on a couple of personal projects to alleviate the tedium. Firstly he starts constructing an embryonic intelligence gathering network. As he only has his stipend he can't afford to pay anyone. Instead he: make friends or at least acquaintances, decides who he can trust and who he can't and determines who he can use as the basis of a cell. Secondly he sets out to gather as much of the palace gossip as possible.
On his days off he visits his family and has dinner. After the first day, he feels sorry for his companions who are far from home. So he invites them to dinner two at a time.
[sblock=Dinner at the Rees']The Rees' live comfortable but are not wealthy. The meal itself is a fairly standard three course meal, with wine and a good brandy to finish.
Over the course of the meal it is revealed that Mr Rees is a senior civil servant, Yevas' two brothers work for him and that the Rees family has served the kingdom forever. Unfortunately Yevas himself is the black sheep of the family and just isn't suitable for the family business. (Yevas mentions this with pride, whilst his father bristles) Any attempt to find out what exactly the Rees' do, is meet with a almost undetectable change of subject.[/sblock]

Henry is comfortable enough with the educational lessons having a sound educational background already and the stables and the armory find him equally at home having spent his youth in the camps of the horse guards. Even the chamberlain's office would not be too far from his experience or aptitude, but his large size and occasional clumsiness will no doubt make the household duties a real challenge. The kitchens and the gardens are new to him, but his size and strength may be more useful than burdensome here at least. He applies himself to whatever task he is given like the good soldier he was raised to be.
Like Magus the first day off is spend in serious rest. But by the second 7th day Henry is interested in getting out. Is up and out earlier to visit family and his servant and then returns and floats the idea of hitting the local taverns to his suite mates. "Any of you got the energy left to see if there is any sport to be had in the local alehouses?"

Petra runs the gammit for the first run but sees danger in repetitious service. He makes a mental exorcise of the work to memorize faces seen at all stations. He tries to look for any peculiar activity.
When invited to the Rees estate, he accepts, but brings up no mention or question of the family involvement with the royal service.

Deaglan uses the weeks of training to learn new things - during his rotations he does his best to fully engage himself in the tasks to which he's detailed, and spends his evenings with whatever suite-mates are around. He eagerly takes Henry up on his offer of a night of carousing, and Yevas on his offer of a family dinner.
He proves to be an engaging conversationalist, adept at keeping the topic on hosts and adroit at making this subtle.

Narc is not partial to labor, but he is sufficiently used to it that he carries out his duties without problems, hoping that after the initial period assignments will get more interesting.
On his days off he goes to town to relax. He also tries to find Vera and ask her out again.
He does take up Yevas' and Henry's offers. At the Rees', he does try to find out what they actually do, though somehow doesn't quite find out.

Artemis is not used to doing so much physical work. After all, that's why his parents hired servants. Still, if the others could do it, he figured so could he. Besides, he didn't want to disappoint his father again. During the next 6 weeks, he worked hard and fell fast asleep each night from exhaustion. On the 7th day, he slept in before heading out into the city. He enjoyed meeting the people and getting to know a little about their lives.
As for his chores, he found he really liked working in the kitchens and gardens. The armory was okay but not really in his interests. Sure, he knew what some of the different weapons were, thanks to his father, and even knew how to use a few, but they really held little interest to him. Helping the household staff was interesting. Sweeping, mopping, dusting, and all that got tiresome quickly but the staff were quite interesting. They heard much of the court gossip and saw many things which they needed to keep secret. It was not unusual for a maid to walk in on a member of the royal family in a compromising position.
The stables were nasty. Artemis could ride a horse if needed but he had no interest in their grooming, feeding, or cleaning. He understood the need for all of it, of course, but if given the choice, would avoid the stables completely.
The Chamberlain's office was interesting and enlightening. The office was responsible for overseeing the entire household. They made sure that tasks were assigned, appointments made, dinners and special events scheduled, and oversaw the finances.
After the six long, grueling weeks, Artemis decided if given a choice of positions within the household, he would prefer the kitchens or gardens.
During the six weeks, he was surprised to be invited by Yevas to dinner with his family. Artemis gratefully accepts and is thankful for the excellent meal.
