@ofbloodandbxne asked “Oh my god..” Stepping back as the blade fell from her hand Clara stepped back from the body upon the floor. Blood pooled at her feet and stained her clothes a jet black color in the moonlight. “What have I done.”

"It seems darling that you have just made your first kill and I am very proud of you." James comes out of the shadows at the end of the bed and looks down at the body "There is one thing that I would suggest doing next time and that would be not to wear your best clothes to do your nasty business, makes you get rid of a lot of clothes that way." He chuckles, walking over to where the body lays on the floor and kicks it "You did well for a first timer Clara, but I have much to teach you before you kill again."

𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄

What would you do to ensure justice? You know full well I don’t speak of lofty ideals and courts and magistrates, dearest. What would you do to those that hurt you? If I dropped them in your lap, what would you do? What kind of pain could you possibly inflict upon them? You are right to do so. You are right to want to do so. Ignore the screaming, dearest, you are the hand of justice now, and they hurt you. Do not look too closely at their faces, dearest. You are within your rights. You spell out your own rights, now. Are you happy about it? Are you certain that this is the right person you hold by the hair? Does your anger hurt less now?

@ofbloodandbxne asked “Did you have fun with your gift dear?” Hearing him enter Clara looked up from her book. Seated in his armchair her clothes were gone with only wrapping paper serving as a tear away dress. “I do hope they gave you enough of a chase, I tried to choose lively ones for you.”

James looks at the wrapping paper and walks slowly across the room to her "Oh, they lead me on a merry chase all right but in the end you know that I had to come out on top. I know this place like the back of my hand and they unfortunately didn't. Well, unfortunately for them but now we have new ghosts in the hotel again which I love being responsible for." He chuckles as he kneels down in front of her, his hand wrapped around the top of the wrapping paper covering her frame "Is this for me too or are you just teasing me Clara?"

[talesfromahsmoves]

@ofbloodandbxne asked “You’re funny when you’re angry.”

James stares at her for a few seconds and then chuckles "Most people would think me terrifying when angry Clara but you, you think I'm funny." He shakes his head then tilting his head to the side and getting a thoughtful look on his face "I suppose that with my antiquated words and then way I swing knives around that I could be seen as funny."

[talesfromahsmoves]

"I will never leave this place."

The words fell hard from her tongue as eyes narrowed to sharpened points and turned away from Michael. Pain coursed within her chest as if being split in two, with her burning rage making its way to the surface of her skin.

"And neither shall you." A low groan proceeded her words, reverberating within the halls of the Cortez as the walls themselves seemed to shift. The carpet beneath them slithered to and fro as if made of sand as the eco of screams resounded in the air.

Clara stood firm, her only movement the twisting of her fingers beckoning the dark hell mouth to awaken and bend to her will.

Michael watches as the walls and floor around him start to run and the screams of the dead start to fill the air and for a single moment he feels fear for the first time in his life. He takes a step back but finds himself so fascinated by the whole thing that he just stays and watches "You think you can stop the Antichrist from ending this world. This building will be obligated in the blast and still I will be here but are you so sure that you will be Clara? Will this place that you control really be enough to protect you from what I have in store?"

He watches as Clara calls the hotel around them to life with just a gesture of her fingers and then rethinks what he has done because he thinks that he just might have finally met someone that has as much power as him and he had pissed her off. Michael always did have a problem with being too carefree when it came to his decisions and now, he believed that he was going to regret one.

[talesfromahsmoves]

@ofbloodandbxne asked “I love you. I adore you. I worship you.” Dotting his face with kisses Clara timed her compliments to come right after each kiss to his face. Her hands upon his cheeks, smoothing her thumbs across his jawline. “My very dearest love.”

James smiles and wraps his arms around her tightly as he sprinkles his own small kisses on her face after she stops kissing his "I love you too my darling and I will always show you that love in any way that I can." He chuckles softly as he steals a kiss from her lips and then tilts his head to the side in thought "I will love you and the way you show your true feelings to me every day for the rest of eternity."

[talesfromahsmoves]

As James persisted in his campaign to comfort her Clara swallowed hard as her mind tangled itself in negative thoughts. He noticed everything, always attentive, always sincere in his words and set in his way. Of course he wouldn’t go without her on his arm and her voice had somehow slipped to allow him a small indication she was the least bit unhappy.

Walking slowly to the door she reaches foe the handle before finally pulling it open slowly and meeting his gaze with red, puffed eyes. She was still in her robe, no make up and her hair was tied back in its usual ponytail, nowhere near ready. “I am not the Countess.” The words dropped like lead from her tongue as a deep breathe filled and burned her lungs. “I am not ravishingly beautiful, or graceful, and I have no sense of style.” Folding her hands behind her Claras eyes began to move to the floor. “And I become terrified every time we attend one of these events or even when we leave our room that she will call for you and you will go to her and leave me behind.”

Tears, ones she tried so hard to repress began to well in her eyes and fall to the carpet. “And go away where I can’t find you.”

James tilts his head to the side and looks at her with a furrowed brow "Of course you aren't the Countess. The Countess may be all of that but without being able to love she is nothing and you are the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen Clara." He comes closer and plants a kiss on her forehead "You have nothing to worry about, I will never go back to that cold hearted woman ever again as long as I have you."

"Now as for going away where you can't find me... this hotel has limited space you know, and I have to survive within its walls so there will be no going away where you can't find me." He laughs slightly and then gets a serious look on his face "We will be the best dressed couple at the party, and everyone will know that I am now yours including the Countess so you go and get ready, and I'll wait for you so we can go down together. I suppose I can be fashionably late to one of my own parties for once."

“James you are being ridiculous, now let go.” Clara had been making her way towards the doubles doors when she felt his grip on her arm. It was stronger then usual and held a hint of desperation behind it, he had become anxious as of late regarding her weekly outings and while Clara felt for him she had other duties to attend to. Attempting to watch her arm from his grip instead she found herself pinned to him from behind, arms wrapped round her pinning her arms.

“Let me go outside? You talk as though every action I have is dictated or allowed by you.” Twisting in his arms she made her way round enough to face him, still pinned to his chest with her arms struggling to get free and press any distance between them. “I can be angrier then you’ve seen me yet.” Growling as her face hovered just below his own she looked up to see in his eyes what she had never before witnessed, fear.

Suddenly her anger began to subside, “Darling, are you really so afraid I might not return to you?”

James looks at her and then shakes his head like he's trying to deny it and then he tilts his head to the side getting a thoughtful look on his face "Yes, I am. I don't want to live an eternity without you know that I've just found you Clara. You're the only one that has shown me even a little love in the past 80 something years and I want to keep that close to me and if that includes tying you down to a bed somewhere so you can't go outside without Iris then so be it but you will not die outside of this hotel." He gives her the side eye then cocks an eyebrow at her "In this hotel I dictate most of the things that go on even if I am a ghost and if that means forbidding you to go outside then I will do it."

James then lets her go and turns towards the lobby "If you want to leave me alone then go ahead and go outside those doors without protection of some kind and get yourself killed then I'll have to put up with the Countess for the rest of my unnatural life." He chuckles and then walks toward the elevator "I'm going upstairs to my room, if you decide to come up then you can if you wish but if you still want to go outside you can do that too. I have no choice in the matter it appears so you make the decision by yourself."

@ofbloodandbxne asked 🎉

James was walking around the New Year's party that he and Clara were throwing that year and making sure that everyone had what they needed to be happy with the decision to come even the ones that weren't going to make it far past New Year's when the ball starts dropping on the tv. He looks around for Clara and he finds her on the other side of the room heading toward him. James starts across the room towards her, and they meet in the middle just as the countdown hits zero her taking his lips in a kiss that he returns most passionately. When they pull back from each other he says, "Happy New Year darling."

@ofbloodandbxne [ cont. from here ]

Seteth was a man of habit and schedule; rarely late to his duties, if at all, everything slotted into his daily routine perfectly, with hardly a break between activities, but that was to be expected for a man as busy as he was. He did not mind the lack of free time-- quite the contrary, he rather preferred it to sitting idle, open to fall prey to his thoughts the moment he let his mind wander. No, he much rather go through the day in a whirlwind of work, undisturbed and avoiding distractions. 

However, like everyone else in Sothis’ good earth, he was mortal (well-- not exactly, but being immune to age did not, in fact, make you immune to exhaustion, so). As much as he loathed to admit it, he required rest every once in a while and, having not gotten it, he was prone to, ah... oversleeping. 

Which of course made quite certain he was late to report to Rhea for the day.

So here he now was, all but throwing himself down the stairs of the Cathedral; having reported to Rhea, he now had to rush to the aviary before the students that had picked wyvern-riding as an elective decided he was not showing up for the day, and returned to their dorms. 

He was in such a hurry, that he scarcely paid attention to his surroundings. And of course, that resulted in him colliding quite bodily with some pour soul making the trek up the stairs while he was rushing down. 

The impact startled him out of his mild panic-- he let out an alarmed cry, then threw his hands out blindly to stabilise both himself and the unfortunate victim of his inattention. Something cold and wet splashed over all his front, but he paid it no heed, making sure the other person did not end up with their face planted firmly in the stone stairs.

❝ My apologies, are you okay...? ❞

He finally looked down to the face of whoever he’d just almost knocked all the way down the stairs- and inwardly cringed. 

❝ Oh-- Catelyn. ❞

Well, wasn’t that just amazing. The new staff member, with a reputation of being cold and distant, and who had also yet to recover from her injuries. Seteth felt enough guilt for it to choke him up for a moment, but then he forced himself to focus, and cleared his throat.

❝ I’m so terribly sorry, this is all my fault. ❞ He said, still not letting go of her arm in order to make sure she could stand by herself. His eyes skimmed across the discarded buckets and spilled water, and he winced. ❝ Please-- is there anything I can do to help you with the mess I’ve burdened you with? ❞

Then he blinked, the fact that the young woman was carrying two bucketloads of water finally registering. 

❝ Wait-- Catelyn, didn’t Lady Rhea order you to take a few days off and rest...? ❞
