Margaux could feel the emotions related to the seven deadly sins tenfold, pride at the smile her gift had earned from Sage was no exception.  Sage was her most powerful connection in the city of course it would be a point of pride to please her.  Marge sunk into the most comfortable looking chair in the room, and as if right on cue she heard the familiar jingle of Nefertari’s collar.  

“Maybe,” she shrugged scratching the fluffy black cat’s neck gently.  “Maybe watching what you’re planning on doing to him would be reward enough.”

Sage very rarely smiles, but upon hearing Marge’s request, she can’t help it. She’s not used to someone being so... encouraging of her habits. Her sisters are, sure, to the extent that they know, but Sage can’t say that she’s ever met someone as openly into it as Marge is. 

“Traitor,” she hisses at her cat, who reciprocates, as that queen isn’t used to being told what to do. She wanted a lap cat, someone who would sit and let Sage pet her (with a touch that felt more like scratching, but this demon has claws), but no, she got Nef instead.

“Maybe,” Sage replies, as she sits down on her couch, folding her hands atop her knee. “Somehow, I didn’t think that would have been enough to satiate you.”

[ ✪ ] our muses are stuck in an elevator together.  @kweencass

“So I’ve brought you here to discuss something,” Sage began, as she pulled the fire alarm on the elevator, causing it to lurch to a stop. “Mostly because I’ve got a message from someone on the other side, also because I like the dramatics of being stuck in an elevator.”

[ ☢ ] the car broke down in an unfamiliar part of town, and our muses are lost. @lilypxlmer

This is why Sage always needs to be the navigator. You’d think that after so many years of navigating the underworld, people would trust her to be the shotgun rather than driver. But she supposes it’s because she’s the one in charge, she’s the one with nerves of steel, and she’s the one who can easily prevent Lily from dying if the situation turns for the worse.

“Right or left?” Sage asks, her gaze not moving from the wheel, as they’ve spent the past few moments driving in silence, save for the soft sounds of the ambient music playing from the car radio. “What does the GPS say?” The words had barely left her lips before Sage heard a horrendous screeching sound coming from the engine of the car. “Well, thanks, car, but that’s not exactly who I wanted to hear from.”

Marge knew it was a risk heading anywhere but home after a heist.  However, the haul was safely dropped in the bling room safe, Marge hadn’t even seen any lights or sirens all night, and she’d left a window open for Jamie to climb through back home.  She was feeling more bold than usual the adrenaline of pulling off a job still pulsing through her veins.  Where there was risk, there generally was reward, which is how she found herself outside Sage’s front door.  A smile, something usually reserved for when she found the perfect score or watching the city spiral around her, spread across her face when she saw Sage.  

“You could at least act surprised to see me,” she drawled making her way past Sage and into her home uninvited.  “I brought you a present after all.”  With that she handed Sage a piece of paper, a hastily written letter from a senator to his mistress begging her not to go public with their affair.  The small black diamond necklace used to sweeten the bribe was still in her pocket.  She chose not to add it with the rest of the haul, something about the diamonds sharp black edges reminded her of Sage.  

Like a cat that would normally bring her a dead bird, here was Marge with a gift and looking for some kind of reward. “I’m surprised at the hour,” Sage admitted, stepping to the side as she shut the door behind them. There was no point in trying to dissuade Marge from leaving her be for the evening, and truth be told, she could have much less attractive company.

“Would you look at that,” Sage mused, as her eyes darted across the page. “You did bring me a present,” she couldn’t help but smile in spite of herself, especially considering she tried to never display any emotion. Someone like Margaux would be a person to take it the wrong way, of course. “I suppose that means you’re going to want a reward.”

[ ✠ ] it’s three in the morning and my muse unexpectedly arrives at your muse’s home. @babephomets

It’s three in the morning and Sage isn’t asleep. This isn’t something out of the ordinary for her, because as a demon she doesn’t need to sleep, so she normally spends her nighttime hours conducting business for her father-- people are so much more willing to die the later the hours tick by, as if morning is a dreaded eternity away rather than a mere twist of the clock.

So while it’s unexpected that she’ll have any visitors at this hour, turns out, they do still come, and uninvited at that. Marge is a welcome face, but Sage will never tell her this.

"Are you lost?”

CAROLYN: I wish I was!

CAROLYN: Believe me, I'm as heartbroken as you are.

CAROLYN: But um, I sort of know where they are now?

CAROLYN: Apparently an officer confiscated them from a truck...

SAGE: There are two things that I'm annoyed about.

SAGE: One, you interrupted my day to tell me about your missing weeds.

SAGE: Two, whoever was in your body now knows that you sell to us.

MARGE: I summoned him to my apartment last night. He's even less fun than you. I don't think he appreciated my decor. You would have at least noticed my new alter!

MARGE: You look beautiful with fear in your eyes though 😘

SAGE: I hope you took a picture, because you’ll never see that again.
