Hellaina and Dia's looks for @cannibalxroses Ball!

While we can only write three characters for it, I want to do up outfits for everyone.

They're matching as green butterflies (as is only fair for the married couple. The theme was Dia's, the colour was Hellaina's), but two very different approaches to that. But, like their relationship, they are entirely open to a third.

Hellaina's mask picks up the gold details in her dress, and the dress would have a slit, but it's probably hidden more in the back.

Meanwhile Dia! While usually she'd never wear heels, this is a special occasion, and she loved the butterflies so much (it would also probably be shorter than the picture!). She's also bringing a bag, because that's just practical, she has her keys, her phone-- Hellaina's phone. Her jewelry is more subtle, mostly just the bracelet, maybe a pair of green studs.

MULTIMUSE QUESTIONAIRE

Tagged by @e-m-p-error

RULES: Answer the questions with the Muses that would best fit the answers. Bonus if you give details why. If tagged, copy and paste into a new post – DO NOT REBLOG!

1) Rank your softest Muse and your toughest Muse. (Personality-wise)

Jayden is the softest by far. He's here for a good time. He's not scary. He's here because he was an idiot. He's a cupcake.

The toughest... is either Hellaina or Tara I think. They're both pretty stable, take no shit muses. Hellaina is Vox's second, and Tara is many things, one of which is a Fallen Angel and a mercenary.

2) Which Muse would blow through $1000 quickly?

Vox or Metatron for two entirely opposite reasons: Metatron only mildly understands money, and just Would Not Get it. Vox has enough money that he just doesn't care. He'll make it back in a day or two.

3) Do any of them have nicknames? Is there a meaning behind them?

Yes! A few of them do! Depending on how much of a nickname one considers Vox, he counts, which was the pretentious gay's use of latin coming in clutch for his name in Hell because he couldn't be Vincent.

Dia's name is already a nickname from life.

Tara's has a few motivations behind it. On one hand, it's more subtle when on Earth, but it's also more casual than Astaroth-- Astaroth is the name of the Fallen Angel, and delegate to Earth and the other Rings. She is a greater demon. Tara is Belphegor's best friend, she's the one who's eating gelato in Italy because she spends so much time in Italy.

Svetlana uses Lana a lot of the time, because it's more recognizable to non-Russian people, but she has a whole list of diminutives with specific usage meanings behind them.

4) Are any of them up-to-speed on the latest trends? Anyone more old school?

I know we all expect Vox to be the most up to date, but he's not. He owns the trends, and he runs them, but the person who spends the most time online, keeping up with them is Jayden. Hellaina also knows as a result of her job.

Adelard barely understands the modern era. He's not up to date on the trends, he doesn't have a cellphone. He thinks radio is too complicated some days. Metatron also has no idea.

5) Who has the best relationship with their siblings?

...Belphegor? The bar isn't super high. Most of them are only children, and while Hellaina has a sister that relationship is... not good. And at least some of Belphegor's are also down in Hell as the other Sins. He has their numbers. It's... well it is. He misses them despite them all, in theory, being there.

6) Karaoke night! Who is likely to grab the mic first and bust out a tune?

Jayden. Jayden is lord of the pop sensation. Dia also is likely to! She'll drag people into musical theatre duets.

7) Who is least likely to enter a beauty pageant/model?

Hellaina wouldn't, Dia... I can see her doing it, but it would be more for fun, some sort of fashion show Cannibal Town is putting on. Vox would be dragged into it through like... Velvette and Valentino, it's a press thing, he would not do it of his own volition. Adelard, Belphegor, Svetlana, and Astaroth wouldn't. And honestly I think Jayden would.

8) If your Muses visited a haunted house where actors scare you, who would panic and who would be unfazed? 

Hellaina wouldn't be phased. Dia is having a great time, she's not scared at all, but she's having fun! Svetlana... honestly, I think, might be spooked, but depending on what it is, but has a decent poker face. Tara is unafraid, Belphegor is more likely to be. Metatron would have the like... funny moth-eye effect in which he is shocked but not scared. Honestly I can't decide if Adelard is scared of them, or if he's just been down in Hell for so long nothing even registers anymore, it's just another Tuesday. Vox isn't scared. Jayden is livestreaming the whole thing, he's going in unafraid of anything! And at the second scare immediately spooks and drops his phone.

9) Are any of your Muses particular about taking certain modes of transportation?

Vox has been Hell's foremost advocate for a subway system for literal decades. He cannot drive, so mostly he is driven or walks. He's sort of the one with an interesting answer.

Metatron can fly but doesn't usually.

10) Share a little-known fact about any Muse.

Of the sinner muses, Adelard has the highest body count. He has killed far and away the most people, and considers it wholly justified.

Hellaina and Dia's Wedding Shoes

A continuation of their dress post.

Dia's didn't ever really consider wearing heels, though there were some cute ones she looked at. Instead, she went for a pair of flats that matched her dresss, She debates both, which are quite similar, but ultimately decides to go for the ones on the right.

Hellaina starts, initially, by seeing if she already owned any good heels for it (which she didn't). And like with her dress, Dia found hers quickly and without fuss. Hellaina took longer and looked through far more. She discarded several just on style, and a slew more for height. If she's bothering with shoes, she wants a stiletto heel, and for it to be tall.

The shoes on the left were the first pair to end up on a seriously considered list, and Vox picked them after she bought her dress. They were a similar fabric, they had the same cross in the front as the dress, it was, all things considered, a very good option. But she didn't like the strap, and they weren't enough.

The second major option did away with the strap and the slight fabric cross of the front in favour of the metallic details. She ended up getting them customized, because she preferred the more subtle flowers, rather than the metal vines across the whole shoe. But they won for actual shoe. (Vox has no idea how she walks so comfortably in them).

Can you fight god?

Dia oneshots god.

"Ooh! ...What do you think happens if I eat God?"

Hellaina totally has the composition to fight god.

"I would hope so, I'd expect no less-- certainly no less than Vox."

Jayden has killed god and you're next.

Queue the wails of "It was a mistake! An accident!" (This was almost certainly the result of a Tiktok recipe gone so terribly wrong).

Metatron can kill god easily.

"I wouldn't quite put it like that. I don't fancy becoming one of those poisoners who kill their husbands in their sleep,"

Tara has a five episode fight with god. Astaroth is god.

"...Does this mean after my five episode fight I just become God? Hey Lucifer-- you've got a new Dad."

Belphegor can kill god easily.

Like father, like son.

It had been a long time since she'd done anything properly medical, and she'd be lying if she wasn't enjoying it. It had been even longer since she'd had to do anything with living people, rather than, you know, corpses. Those were put off less by humming show tunes and the pop songs on the radio, but then Vox and Val decided to have kids, and well, Vox trusted she actually had her full MD, rather than some of the hacks in the city.

(Only a few of them had ended up with an all expenses paid trip through her shop... as the merchandise. She hadn't spent a decade of her life going through medical school to be a doctor, for some sinners with no qualifications to mess it up).

And despite whatever Hellaina felt about Valentino, she had seen an increasing amount of the Overlord in recent months, and well, it was hard to be afraid of someone when she was their current primary care physician. She hangs her coat up, just in time to hear the yell, and she rounds the corner to see him half bent over, reaching, fruitlessly for his phone.

She clicks her tongue sympathetically, and bends down to pick up his phone, passing it back to him. "Aww, you're real suffering aren't you? We'll have to just pin your phone to you with a Vii remote. Buuut," she flips the flap on her bag, and passes him a tupper-ware. "My first attempt at cooking arepas, I don't think they're quite right, but I wanted to try something other than more with buckwheat. I'm trying to perfect a Belarusian recipe for Anya, but it's the tetchiest grain, I swear."

🖤🖤| While Dia isn’t a practicing doctor or pathologist anymore, a consequence of Sinners not really needing it, she does keep a subscription to the Sloth medical journal, and had taken a class to two by correspondence to keep up with her knowledge of latest breakthroughs and trends. If they ever host a conference on Pride, you can trust she’s attending!

[singthesongsofsin]

"James got me sick." Maria makes her only complaint as she starts to make herself a cup of tea.

@do-these-eyes-look-human | that makes allll of us

Dia looks over from the pot she's stirring, the aromatics finally starting to do, exactly that. The meat was slowly simmering away-- some poor fellow who ran afoul of Cannibal Town two days ago, and some good samaritan brought to her to butcher.

Dia frowns, clicking her tongue, resting the spoon against the side of the pot to go wrap Maria in a hug from behind. "I'd offer to kill him for you, but I suspect that won't be what you want. " She presses a kiss to Maria's cheek. "Is soup and the latest episode of Cutthroat Kitchen an acceptable compromise?"

[singthesongsofsin]

🖤🖤| Dia’s shop

Dia runs, if not the best butcher shop in Pentagram City, then certainly the cleanest. Located on one of the outer edges of Cannibal Town, Dia has become a bit of a staple for some of the more casual, part time cannibals of the city.

She keeps it to morgue standard: the corners are sloped in slightly so nothing gets caught in hard to reach cracks, there’s a metal hose that comes down from the roof she uses to clean everything with, and grates in the floor. Everything gets properly sanitized at least once, usually multiple times a day.

Other small habits have continued from life: she weighs everything as she goes along, and tends to narrate as she does, when not listening to music. She wears a lab coat, and perhaps most importantly, most of her actual butchering is done with autopsy tools.

She has a couple of decent cleavers, but most of her work is done with scalpels and bone saws. And she is very good with a scalpel. Her work tends to be quite precise, and also often quite uniform. Skin from muscle, bones disarticulated with a blade to the joints.

Truth is, she misses the thrill and the excitement of her job in life, but the skills are transferable, and she takes great pride in her store. And yes, she’s still Doctor Hyde, she didn’t spend the better part of a decade getting her degrees to forget that. As a result, occasionally people come for medical help rather than meat (of which she serves both that which caters to cannibals and to the average sinner!)

Dia's got a human fc now! I'm using Rose Mciver, and especially as Liv Moore in iZombie. She even has bits in the lab coat! She's perfect!

"Happy Sinsmas~ 💘-- Maria" reads the notes on the presents for both Dia and Hellaina. Hellaina will get some lovely gold and emerald jewelry, and a tiny cooler with baby mice for her snakes. For Dia, a shadowbox with a preserved set of moths and butterflies native to the Violence Ring.

@do-these-eyes-look-human

Dia rolls onto the balls of her feet, the sound not quite a squeal of excitment, by a matter of degrees. Pride had no good butterflies. "They're so pretty!" she says. "I love her so much,"

Hellaina pulls the jewelry out with a soft smile, running the chain between two fingers. Dia leans against her wife, pulling out one of the snakes by the tail to feed to the snakes, who seem plenty pleased with their own gift, all moving towards the offered mouse. "I think this was a roaring success,"

“I just have to say I hate it when y’all bring me spare limbs. The paperwork is weird.”

Dun fact: as a child I first tried dragon fruit because I thought it sort of looked like a human heart, which tells you a lot about the sort of child I was, and the sort of person Dia is!
