#⊹ ₊ 🕸 🕷 🕸 ₊ ⊹ PLEASURE DOING BITCHNESS WITH YOU // In Character

[ciircex]

Anon questioned, "don't you have at least two deer boyfriends you can bother with a hug?"

"In all seriousness, as much as I ADORE Alastor... I also, know when to keep my hands to myself. I know it comes as a SHOCK, but even a lady such as myself knows MANNERS." (COME ON, CIRCE, DO IT FOR THE VINE).

[ciircex]

── 🕸️She's RELIEVED he doesn't pay any ATTENTION to her little bout of embarrassment [ SHE DESPISED IT WHEN SHE MOMENTARILY FEELS WEAK, REMINDS HER THAT SHE IS INSIGNIFICANT IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS ]. As Alastor begins talking, Circe becomes more RELAXED, her posture changing to FOLD across her chest as she takes in the DAMAGE upon his jacket. It was a SMALL tear, something that even a child could do. However, they were in Hell and TALENT was in short supply as every sinner just wants to party and cause VIOLENCE. "Yes, I can do that easily, shouldn't take me long. I'll MAKE sure you are looking like a gentleman should." Circe knew just the THREAD that would match perfectly and Alastor was just in LUCK because she had just gotten a brand new SPOOL of it. "If you're COMFORTABLE with it, you can put your jacket on the counter there while I go and get the APPROPPRIATE thread and needle. If you have any FURTHER questions or concerns, my name is Circe and I'd be HAPPY to be of service." Offering a SMALL smile, Circe turns to go right back into the backroom, opening the door and flicking on the light once more to dig for that new SPOOL. [ HOPEFULLY IT DIDN'T DISAPPEAR LIKE THAT FABRIC SHE WAS DESPERATELY SEARCHING FOR. ]

HIS PRESENCE IS ALWAYS AS QUIET AS THE WIND COMING THROUGH THE DOOR. NOT THE TYPE TO MAKE AN ENTRANCE. he seems to have startled the seamstress in her own humble shop. but he pays no head to her evident embarrassment. he's well aware that he has startled her with his entry. a smiling face is what he welcomes her with, quite the sight to see. it's a cute little boutique that she runs, one that has caught his gaze on numerous passings. he's known for his love for shops just like these. he's an advocate for taking care of one's appearance, and this kind of shop provides the care for that.

❝ i do hope i didn't catch you at a moment where you are busy, i was hoping that i could have a chat with you. nothing serious in the slightest. just a little bit of talk of business. you do provide a service that i'm very interested in. you see, it's hard to find suitable tailors in this side of HELL. yes, not many prefer to take up such classy professions. ❞ and he's off on his tangent, as quickly as he has arrived.

she might have seemed frightened of him in the beginning, but there is no need to worry once he begins talking. it is evident in his tone that he has only come on matters of business. turning his arm towards her, he shows off a small tear in the fabrics of his coat. right on the sleeve of it. ❝ i was hoping that you would have the sewing talents to be able to mend this for me. it's a crying shame that such a new jacket has already been torn up. and quite the EMBARRASSMENT to walk around with a tear in it, i'm sure that you understand. if you would do me this favor, i would be in your debts. ❞

+ @r-adio gets a starter!

── 🕸️ It was a QUIET night, Circe had gotten everything she needed to get done aside from writing down a list on what she needed in the week to come. Her PEN scratched along the surface of the paper as she listened to the rare PEACE && QUIET. ( HOW TRULY ODD THAT THERE WASN'T ANY SCREAMING OR BRAWLS HAPPENING AT THIS TIME OF NIGHT. ) Her attention was TAKEN away from her list for the briefest of moments, her crimson gaze only taking in enough detail to realize who exactly it was. He didn't get the BEST of her, not this time. (THERE'S ALWAYS A NEXT TIME). "Ah, hello," She greeted, her voice SOFT && WELCOMING as she turned her attention to Alastor, "don't tell me your jacket has another hole in it so SOON?"

[ciircex]

Rozy [ @infernal-general ] questioned, “I am old enough to know such beauty is one of the deadliest weapons one can possess and wield masterfully. Still, allow me to respectfully gaze upon your whole being a little longer than considered appropriate”

── 🕸️Circe has heard MANY "compliments" in her time in Hell, ( HEY BABY, NICE **** ). Hell, even when she was ALIVE && MARRIED, no compliment had ever stunned her quite like this. (YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. ) Perhaps it was because it seemed GENUINE or maybe it was because it was worded so... ELEGANTLY. For the first time in her ENTIRE life && unlife, she found herself in an ODD position of not knowing what to do with herself. Her face remained PASSIVE, her crimson gaze lighting up with a mix of ADMIRATION && CONFUSION. However, the woman soon recovered, a CONFIDENT smile overtaking her look of confusion prior. "Look at me as long as you want, sweetie. I'm not going ANYWHERE," Circe responded with a PURR, blowing a kiss in Rozy's direction.

[ciircex]

Alastor [ @culling ] declared, "there you are, darling. ” 👀 || My muse is being hit on by someone they aren't interested in and are visibly uncomfortable. Send, "there you are, darling" for your muse to come and wrap their arm around mine's waist to guide them away.

The ALLURE of a femme fatale seemed to have followed her EVEN in death, which was flattering but it also could be such an... annoyance. Compliments were all FINE && DANDY, stroking her already HIGH self-esteem, but it was a problem when the compliments just became LEWD comments that just irritated her to no end. [ IT WASN'T EVEN TASTEFUL FLIRTING, SOMETHING SHE COULD PLAY ALONG WITH. HOW DREADFUL! ] "How ADORABLE, you think you have a chance with me," she TEASED, though an edge was gleaming under her words, threatening to cut the fellow sinner if they persisted. All she wanted was to walk home from her boutique, alone && without a CARE in the world. Circe should've known that her TEASING remark would have just flown over the horny sinner's head, thinking it was an invitation to invade her space further. A SCOWL presented itself upon her lips && she was fully prepared to bite the head off the other [ METAPHORICALLY, OF COURSE ] but she stopped as she saw the sinner's expression turn VISIBLY afraid. How curious, why did this sinner, who seemed to have been so ADAMANT about going home with her now seem so AFRAID? Circe got her answer within a few SECONDS, an arm wrapping around her WAIST guiding her away from the sinner && a voice accompanied by RADIO STATIC, simply stating: "there you are, darling." She let a SMILE cross her ruby red lips, allowing Alastor to guide her away, anything to get AWAY from any other... unwanted attention. "Thank you for HELPING out, little old me. I SWEAR a lady such as myself can HARDLY walk home alone anymore without some... PRICK thinking he can rizz me up." Her demeanor had changed, FINALLY relaxing now that she wasn't STRESSED at being so lewdly talked to.

[ciircex]

── 🕸️Circe TILTED her head, a smile remaining FIXATED upon her lips as she patiently waited for Angel Dust to talk. She nodded, her eyes glancing around her boutique for any pieces that would satisfy VALENTINO [ SHE KNEW OF THE MAN && SHE DID HER BEST TO STEER CLEAR OF HIM]. "I'm sure I have a few slutty ones around here to satisfy him but those are EASY to find. Let's find INSPIRATION for you," she waved her hand as she turned, walking to the back of her boutique where she kept more dresses. "These are more last year's fashion but if you find ANY you like or if there's a particular one you want to use for inspiration, let me know. They're heavily discounted as well," Circe smiled warmly at Angel Dust as she OPENED the door to the backroom where dresses were upon racks in a closet sized space. "While you look here, would you like me to gather a few dresses for Valentino? That way you could FOCUS on what you want?"

Angel turned as soon as he felt the presence upon him, returning her smile with one of his own. "Oh? Uh, well considering my arms I might need one custom made anyway if it isn't too much trouble, though inspiration from some dresses you already have might be a good start to things."

Really Angel didn't know what kind of dress he was looking for or what would look best on him, used to have Val pick out his dresses for photoshoots, wearing whatever he had asked of him, though in this case... he wanted something for himself. Not something just for Valentino. He wanted to get some for just him for around the hotel.

"All I know is I need at least a few slutty ones or Val will kill me for spending all his money." Though some of it was his own and everything on the card was money he earned fair and square from work.

"So if you wouldn't mind dear, take me to the back, yeah?"

[ciircex]

Once off the clock, Circe walked her PRETTY little self to the nearest bar to blow off today's collected STEAM. She enters, her lips FROWNING slightly as she realizes how crowded it was, but then she sees a familiar figure && she wastes no time in setting off. [ CRIMSON EYES WIDEN IN RECOGNITION ] && her lips UPTURN into a smile as she makes contact with @bxttybitch, her hand GENTLY being placed upon the woman's shoulder. "Such a PLEASURE to see you again, perhaps THIS time you'll keep your fingers off my drink, hmm?" [ IT WAS A JOKE, AN ICEBREAKER ]. Circe wasted no time in sitting BESIDE the other woman, ordering her usual. "So, what's new with you, sweetheart?"

[ciircex]

Lucifer [ @infernalight ] is just going to come up behind her aaaand.... bite her cheek.

── 🕸️Circe was currently ORGANIZING fabrics, taking them down from their shelves to any DUST that had gathered. It was a TEDIOUS process but it had to be done and since she PRESUMED she wouldn't be bothered today, now was a good time to do it. However, imagine her SURPRISE when she felt TEETH bite her cheek, causing her to jump slightly and meet Lucifer's blue eyes with her own crimson ones. "My, that was... QUITE the greeting," She starts, her voice low... almost purring. "I'll have to pay you back, perhaps with a KISS."

[ciircex]

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU STARTED? I JUST CAME HERE TO PARTY.

── 🕸️A sigh LEAVES the young woman, her eyes closed as she RUBS at her temples. A HEADACHE persisted in her mind, POUNDING her skull as if she keeps sitting at the bar despite knowing it would've been better to leave. Circe was DETERMINED to have a good time despite the pounding in her mind. However, she would soon REALIZE that perhaps she WOULD be better off at her apartment rather than at the busy bar. One movement WAS all it took, a clumsy HIT of her hand sent a stranger's [ @gamblins ] glass SPILLING across the counter. "Shit, sorry. I'll BUY you another one, did I stain your clothes or ANYTHING?" Circe narrows her CRIMSON gaze as she took in the damage of spilling the other's drink. It seemed MOSTLY contained on the surface of the BAR they sat at and she wasted no time in asking for paper towels to CLEAN up the mess she made. "What did you have? I'll even buy you an EXPENSIVE drink to make up for my clumsy self."

[ciircex]

PUNCH YOUR LIGHTS OUT, HIT THE PAVEMENT. THAT'S WHAT I CALL ENTERTAINMENT!

── 🕸️Circe CURSED under her breath as her heels CLICKED upon the concrete below her. She was SUPPOSED to open her shop an hour ago, but then some loan sharks had to start a whole war in her path && thus, she had to go the LONG way around lest she get hit by stray BULLETS. It took her an hour but she finally arrived and she was greeted with the sight of a TALL && THINLY built spider demon [ @zestials ]. She raised a brow, unsure if he was ACTUALLY waiting to get into her boutique or if he was just there at the EXACT moment she was. However, she did take a PRECAUTION to apologize, in case he was LOOKING to peruse the shop. "Apologies, got caught up in some... TRAFFIC." The smaller woman offers an apology, her key turning into the ELEGANT lock that hid away her little slice of PARADISE. [ IT WASN'T TRAFFIC, IT WAS JUST SINNERS BEING A NUISANCES && REFUSING TO BEHAVE LONG ENOUGH TO GET TO HER SHOP ON TIME. ] "If you were looking to shop, I HOPE you haven't been waiting long." Circe props open the door with a door stopper, her form moving to flick on the lights to reveal COUNTLESS displays of fashion items, ranging from dresses, suits && accessories such as hats.

"When I was YOUNG && STUPID my love, left to be a rock and roll star." Circe ADMITTED, the soft confession hanging in the air. She doesn't talk about Elias, it was HARD to, he was her first love && he'd always had a tiny piece of it. "He told me please don't worry, WISE little smile that spoke so safely."

[ciircex]

Oh my. :)c

"Oh my, the QUEEN OF HELL has at least seven bingos! If we mark down the free space." Let's fix that. "My, my... perhaps we should get DINNER sometime? My treat, of course."

[ciircex]

@xluciifer dropped, "🕯️!!!" || my muse's inner thoughts pertaining to yours.

"When you're alive, you hear all the stories about THE DEVIL, about the King of Hell. He's made to be this... angel whose fallen from GRACE, a man who's beautiful yet so full of EVIL. I, personally, don't know how CORRUPT & EVIL he is, but the church did get one thing right; he is beautiful. I cannot help but WANT to learn more about Lucifer, I think we'll get along swimmingly."

[ciircex]

Ozzie ( @jizzlords ) ZOOMS IN TO TWIRL CIRCE AROUND! And delicately kissing those murderous hands of hers. ❝ Been committing enough lust today? ❞ he's laughing followed by offering an arm. ❝ You willing to humor a poor, simple guy like myself to some lunch? Maybe dessert? ♡ ❞

The TWIRL is met with a laugh, a melodious sound that bounces off the walls && seemingly echoes, lingering as if to show how much Circe adored Ozzie. The kiss to her hands makes her face LIGHT up, the simple gesture delighting her in a way like no OTHER. (TRULY AN ACHIEVEMENT TO MAKE THE BLACK WIDOW PUT AWAY HER OWN BRAND OF VENOM).

"I ADMIT, I haven't been... but that's BOUND to change, especially now that you're here." Her arm wraps around his, NIMBLE fingers resting upon his arm as her voice COOS out her reply.

What were the woman's plans again? Ah, yes, they were RATHER important. Maybe Circe should reject the offer, I mean, after all, she's SO busy. The work of a SEAMSTRESS is never done.

"Ah, I SUPPOSE I could humor you for lunch. I expect a GRAND dessert though." (NAH, JUST PLAYING, SHE COULD NEVER RESIST SPENDING TIME WITH THE KING OF LUST. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE'S... DESSERT INVOLVED ♡. )

[ciircex]

@jizzlords said, ❝ ma'am? there isn't a "sit on my face" button. ❞ embrace will have to do (grope duh). from here

A LAUGH rings out, "I know, it's CRIMINAL, isn't it? Ah, a simple embrace will have to do." She's definitely taking FULL advantage of being embraced in Ozzie's grip, though the GROPE is met with an surprised squeak.

[ciircex]

@culling said, embrace ❤️ she is getting swandled in a hug from here

The EMBRACE is unexpected, however, fully welcomed as she returns the tight hug. Circe's smile is SOFT, tender as the heart inside her chest as she gazes at Alastor. "&& What have I done to deserve such an.... affectionate gesture, hm?" Ignore the fact she was SOFTLY purring at the contact. Absolutely SMITTEN.
