Seraph Grace

... Grace shuts the door in Anon's face.

[owlsome-reader]

No longer a Lutual, sadly. My blogs are no longer apart of the Lutualverse. I have yet to adapt all my blogs, but I believe the bios and pinned posts are all fixed. I will not be deleting former Lutualverse interactions from my blogs, since that would take days. But these interactions are NOT canon anymore.

- Ray

[seraphim-grace]

Are you scared?

I don't fear anything.

[seraphim-grace]

what is your job as a seraph, ms pathetic™️?

Excuse me? What did you just call me? Grace glares at Anon.

[seraphim-grace]

did u know ray is talking to sera rn

Is she now? Grace scowls.

[seraphim-grace]

*slap*

Excuse me? Grace's wings flare out in an attempt to scare Anon off. Get out, you filthy bastard!

[ask-sera]

What did you just say?

[seraphim-grace]

... Oh. Hey... Sera... Grace slowly folds her wings back in, awkwardly looking around.

[ask-sera]

That's what I thought.

[seraphim-grace]

Grace rolls her eyes in annoyance, because she's stupid and thinks Sera can't see.

[seraphim-grace]

most of the other evil seraphim have backstory that explains why

did u have a sad childhood

Do I look like a pathetic seraph who can't deal with their problems? Obviously I didn't have a sad childhood.

[seraphim-sarai]

Okay Ava. You can do this! You can totally make it up to tu hermana! Ya made up with Milan! That was easy!

Ava spoke out loud to himself as he walked through the alleyways. He remembered Sarai's schedule and knew that they would be picking up coffee for Sera at this moment.

Okay, not really. Lots of punching was involved...and Sarai ain't like that.

He worried if Sarai would forgive him after he blew them off. But she had to try. She told Sadie she would.

Sí Ava, ya can do it. Ava El Carbón doesn't run from a fight! -🚬

He was about to walk to Sarai, until he saw the familiar figure of an unfriendly Seraph bump into her.

Uh oh. Looks like they were arguing now. Better hide before she gets caught in the middle, and then she'd apologize.

He hid behind some trash cans and watched Sarai and the other Seraph talk.

@exorcist-ava

Even as a guardian angel, Sarai was still not exempt from picking up coffee for the Council. She ordered the coffees, remembering the god-awful tastes of her superiors, and walked out the door.

She was distracted by a lot of things. One, she still couldn't stop thinking about Milan, who was now probably still with Adina.

((She wants to be with her? I shouldn't be so surprised. I could never compare. I'm not much.))

Second, Lana was bugging her - and not just by ignoring her helpful advice. She reminded her so much of someone - Ava, someone who she had also lost forever.

((They're so much alike. She'll hate me too soon. I know it. Ava already does.))

Lost in her thoughts, she bumps into a tall figure, whom she spills all her coffee over.

Oh, I- -🦢

@seraphim-grace

[seraphim-grace]

Grace gasps, glaring at Sarai. You insolent- She cuts herself off. Oh. It's you. I should've expected that.

You can't do anything right, can you? Coffee is the easiest task possible and you still managed to fail that. The seraph takes one of Sarai's front locks of hair, looking it over before letting go. I see you've finally grown out of that disgusting gray. I thought you would've grown out of your stupidity along with it. Grace smirks.

[seraphim-sarai]

Sarai hissed.

Grace. I should've known. What other member of the Court would waste their time picking on Apprentices?

Grace had always despised her being "terrible to her little Adina", which was fine by Sarai, as she never liked the older Seraph anyway. She was glad that she and Sera at least shared that dislike in common.

Perhaps you should spend your energies on something actually productive. Maybe then Sera would actually be able to respect you as an equal. -🦢

[seraphim-grace]

Why would I be equal to Sera, when I am much better? But of course, you would be all about 'being equal' to lesser beings. Especially since you mingle with that exorcist. She scrunches her nose in disgust.

What was her name again? Ava? She was the one who killed the Hellborn, was she not? How stupid of her, not even being able to see the difference between a filthy Sinner and a hellborn. I wouldn't be surprised if she was a Sinner herself. She was lucky my dear Adina was so sweet to take her in. Grace's smirk grew wider, knowing how much she was pissing Sarai off. She was enjoying tormenting the apprentice.

[seraphim-sarai]

At the mention of Ava, Sarai’s other eyes emerged in anger. She raised her wings high.

Don’t you dare speak about him that way.

She slowly shifted into her Bible-accurate form with her mounting anger.

Ava is a far better angel than both you and Adina combined!

She is more righteous than any member of the Court, and so, so much more deserving of anyone’s trust than I could ever say.

She winces with regret over how she never truly said that to Ava. Her stupid, stupid pride had prevented her from doing so. And now it was too late.

YOU OF ALL ANGELS have no right to speak ill of her. -🦢

@exorcist-ava

[exorcist-ava]

Ava was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Sarai to ever talk back to any of her superiors in that manner. Especially not when it was about him.

Was she…defending him?

He kept watching silently from the sides, keeping hidden as the Seraphim continued.

@seraphim-sarai

[seraphim-sarai]

Morphing into her true form, she once again recalled the words of the stranger on the night of the Seraphim Showcase.

((Don’t be afraid to use that Seraph form. Show your superiors how to respect you)).

Now was her chance. She was going to make Grace respect Ava and her.

You WILL retract your statements and show Ava - my sister - and I respect. Do you understand? -🦢

@seraphim-grace

[seraphim-grace]

Grace was taken back for a second, not expecting the apprentice to talk back. She flared out her own wings and eyes, towering over Sarai.

How dare you speak to me like that? She growls, raising a hand and striking Sarai across the face. You filthy brat! I should have Sera banish you from ever joining the council!

She looked outraged, and ready to use more violence if Sarai didn't back down.

[seraphim-sarai]

Sarai fell back as she was hit across the face. Fear paralyzed her as Grace loomed over her.

She should’ve known she wasn’t nearly powerful enough to go against a fully-fledged member of the Council. She was so stupid.

She cowered as Grace glared menacingly at her.

@exorcist-ava

[exorcist-ava]

Oh that motherfucker…

Ava had to act now. She couldn’t just let her sister get attacked by some bitchy Seraph. But what could she do?

She looked around quickly. By the trash cans, there were some abandoned gallon tanks of kerosene.

Oh yeah. This could work.

He grabbed one quickly, and walked out of his hiding spot.

DON’T MIND ME I’M JUST WALKIN’ HERE-

He “trips”, splattering the bottom of Grace’s dress with the liquid.

Oop- -🚬

@seraphim-grace

[seraphim-grace]

Grace looked down at her absolutely ruined dress, turning her glare to Ava. The audacity of this exorcist. As if an apprentice talking back wasn't bad enough, this disgusting thing had also decided to be a brat.

How dare you! Do you stupid exorcists even have a brain?! She screeched, outraged. What even is this stuff? The seraph looked at the kerosine in disgust.

[exorcist-ava]

He was scared, but kept his face smug. He did have the upper hand after all.

Ah, just a little Exorcist trick. We call it “gettin’ lit”. -🚬

He flicked his lighter on, and threw it onto Grace. The fire spread instantaneously all over where the kerosene had splattered. In no time, Grace was in flames.

[seraphim-grace]

It took Grace a second to realise what was happening, before her extra eyes dissapeared and she started to realise what was going on. She shrieked loudly, trying to get the fire out using her wings.

Grace panicked when it didn't work, while simultaneously screaming at Ava and Sarai. Don't just bloody stand there, do something!

The seraph continued this for a while, the fire burning at her skin, before remembering she could teleport. Shooting one final glare at the apprentice and her sister, she teleported to her place, finding herself in her shower.

However, unlike she expected, the water didn't put out the fire, and only made it worse. It was then that the stupid bitch finally thought of taking off her dress and using a fire blanket to remove the oxygen, ultimately stopping the flames from spreading any further. It was too late though. Most of her legs and part of her arms were covered in several burn wounds.

[seraphim-sarai]

Sarai stood dumbfounded as she watched it all go down, and as Ava stood before her. Her cheek still stung, so she rubbed it.

Ava? What are you doing here? -🦢

She had to admit she was glad though. And seeing Grace on fire was a delight she wasn’t expecting this day.

[exorcist-ava]

What’s it look like? Helpin’ ya out.

His tone was friendly and conversational. It seemed like getting to talk with his sister again would be easier than he thought.

Yeah yeah, I know you’re gonna get on mi case for this cuz you’re a big tall Seraph and I’m just an Exorcist. -🚬

He laughs in good humor, not at all angry at Sarai’s past comments. It seemed to just melt away.

[seraphim-sarai]

Guilt struck her.

Ava, I’m sorry. I never should’ve said that. You’re not just an Exorcist.

You’re my sister.

She hides her face behind a wing.

And I apologize for not being a better sister to you before.

Lowering her wing, she looks at Ava again.

Now I’m just worried for you. What if Grace tells Sera, or anyone on the Council, about what you’ve done to her? I wouldn’t want you to be punished. -🦢

[exorcist-ava]

You’re my sister.

Those words hit Ava like a truck. It made him feel good. He hadn’t lost one of his closest companions after all. He was worth keeping around.

He laughs again in good humor.

Haha, come on flaquita! Don’t worry so much! What is that big bitch gonna say? “Yeah I got flamed by a lowly Exorcist cuz I smacked the High Seraph Grande’s Apprentice?” Oh yeah, they’d love that.

He pulls out a cigarette and lights it for himself. He then pulls out a cigar.

I brought these along for ya. Wanna smoke? Just like old times. Hermana/hermano bonding and all that. -🚬

[seraphim-sarai]

The tension eased. Sarai could relax a little. Grace wouldn’t be an issue, it seemed. But more importantly, she had the person she missed the most back.

Of course.

She took the cigar after Ava lit it for her and they both smoked together side by side.

I missed you. It’s nice to have you back. -🦢

[exorcist-ava]

Like I said all those years ago: you’re stuck with me, bitch. I’m not going nowhere, flaquita. Honest. -🚬

[ask-sera]

[Sera decided to go look for Sarai as the apprentice went to get coffee and didn't come back. She quickened her pace when she heard the screams and was met with an outrageous sight. Grace slapped Sarai across the cheek, causing her to fall, then began to threaten her with Sera's name. Anger boiled within the High Seraphim. Of all people, Grace was trying to discipline Sarai? Grace should shut her mouth. She had lost her grace a long time ago, dumping all her work on her own former apprentice. If there was anyone the council needed to banish, it would be her.]

[Sera was about to step in and stand up for Sarai, but Ava was faster. Seraph's eyes widened in shock as she watched the exorcist putting on a whole fire show. She chucked quietly. She knew it was wrong to enjoy this, so she suppressed the strange satisfaction inside her, putting on a business casual face. Sera walked past Sarai and Ava, unable to hold back a small smile.]

...I'll just go get my coffee. You may take the day off, Sarai.

[seraphim-grace]

why does ur venom makes people sleep

Well, that's because of the... Because of the- fuck, Ray, what do you call that stuff that's used in sleep medicine? I can't pronounce that-

It works just like sleep medicine. No one knows how it works, but it works.

[exorcist-ray]

After the incident with Sarai and Ava, Grace puts on some clothes, trying her best not to scrape the fabric past the burn wounds. She winced, before teleporting to the medbay.

Ray? Where are you?

- @seraphim-grace

Ray jumps up, completely startled and not expecting Grace. She tries to hide her fear, especially since her and Grace haven't spoken much since the beach day. Ray had intentionally been avoiding Grace, and trying to be around other people when she knew she didn't have a shot at avoiding the seraph.

Hey... Grace... She turned to her, expecting to be scolded, but was surprised to see the seraph sit down and wince.

Are you okay? The exorcist looks worried, but how much of it is an act, and how much of her is genuinely concerned for the woman that caused her so much grief?

[seraphim-grace]

No, I'm not okay. I need you to treat this. Grace lifts up part of her dress to show the burnmarks on her legs. Can you do that? Or are you just as a as your fellow exorcists?

While Ray quietly nodded and started grabbing supplies, Grace started to whine about what happened. And then that disgrace of a seraph, she had the audacity to fucking talk back to me. Me! So I did what any reasonable person would do. I slapped her. She looks disturbingly gleeful while talking about how she harmed Sarai.

[exorcist-ray]

Ray dropped one of the things she had in her hand. You slapped Sarai? She slowly turned back to Grace, looking at her in disbelief. Is she okay?

Grace looked at Ray with confusion. Is that really something you care about? You seem awfully close to her. Don't forget which seraph you belong to.

The exorcist bit her lip. Yes, Grace. I'm sorry, it's just that she's been really nice to me and I enjoy her company-

[seraphim-grace]

The seraph cut her off. Do you have feelings for her?

Ray could feel her face flush, and quickly started treating Grace's burnwounds on her leg so Grace couldn't see her face. No, of course not. She attempted to change the topic. So how did you get the burnwounds?

The bitch didn't pick up on Ray's obvious anxiety, and continued talking. After I slapped her, her exorcist friend, Ava, came and she-

[exorcist-ray]

Ray quietly listened, having to surpress a giggle when Grace described how Ava had set her dress on fire. She took a mental note to visit Ava if she ever needed someone to be set on fire again.

After she'd finished treating most of Grace's wounds, it had started to get dark outside. I've applied all the treatment I can for now, but I'll have to look back at it again later. Ray picked up her supplies, turning her back to Grace so she could put them away.

[seraphim-grace]

Whilst Ray was occupied, Grace got up, getting closer to the exorcist. Ray tensed up as the seraph sank her fangs into her neck. The medic could slowly feel herself get drowsy the second the venom took effect.

Grace let her venom flow, not even worried about Ray pulling away. She knew the girl was too afraid to do so. It didn't take long for Ray to fall asleep under the influence of the venom. The seraph caught her before she hits the floor, lifting her up and... Laying her in her bed? Grace gently placed Ray down in her bed, turning off the lights in the exorcists room before leaving.

Atleast now she could be sure that Ray wouldn't pull any tricks on her while she was still in pain from the burnwounds.

Ava was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Sarai to ever talk back to any of her superiors in that manner. Especially not when it was about him.

Was she…defending him?

He kept watching silently from the sides, keeping hidden as the Seraphim continued.

Morphing into her true form, she once again recalled the words of the stranger on the night of the Seraphim Showcase.

((Don’t be afraid to use that Seraph form. Show your superiors how to respect you)).

Now was her chance. She was going to make Grace respect Ava and her.

You WILL retract your statements and show Ava - my sister - and I respect. Do you understand? -🦢

[seraphim-grace]

Grace was taken back for a second, not expecting the apprentice to talk back. She flared out her own wings and eyes, towering over Sarai.

How dare you speak to me like that? She growls, raising a hand and striking Sarai across the face. You filthy brat! I should have Sera banish you from ever joining the council!

She looked outraged, and ready to use more violence if Sarai didn't back down.

[seraphim-sarai]

Sarai fell back as she was hit across the face. Fear paralyzed her as Grace loomed over her.

She should’ve known she wasn’t nearly powerful enough to go against a fully-fledged member of the Council. She was so stupid.

She cowered as Grace glared menacingly at her.

@exorcist-ava

[exorcist-ava]

Oh that motherfucker…

Ava had to act now. She couldn’t just let her sister get attacked by some bitchy Seraph. But what could she do?

She looked around quickly. By the trash cans, there were some abandoned gallon tanks of kerosene.

Oh yeah. This could work.

He grabbed one quickly, and walked out of his hiding spot.

DON’T MIND ME I’M JUST WALKIN’ HERE-

He “trips”, splattering the bottom of Grace’s dress with the liquid.

Oop- -🚬

@seraphim-grace

[seraphim-grace]

Grace looked down at her absolutely ruined dress, turning her glare to Ava. The audacity of this exorcist. As if an apprentice talking back wasn't bad enough, this disgusting thing had also decided to be a brat.

How dare you! Do you stupid exorcists even have a brain?! She screeched, outraged. What even is this stuff? The seraph looked at the kerosine in disgust.

[seraphim-sarai]

Okay Ava. You can do this! You can totally make it up to tu hermana! Ya made up with Milan! That was easy!

Ava spoke out loud to himself as he walked through the alleyways. He remembered Sarai's schedule and knew that they would be picking up coffee for Sera at this moment.

Okay, not really. Lots of punching was involved...and Sarai ain't like that.

He worried if Sarai would forgive him after he blew them off. But she had to try. She told Sadie she would.

Sí Ava, ya can do it. Ava El Carbón doesn't run from a fight! -🚬

He was about to walk to Sarai, until he saw the familiar figure of an unfriendly Seraph bump into her.

Uh oh. Looks like they were arguing now. Better hide before she gets caught in the middle, and then she'd apologize.

He hid behind some trash cans and watched Sarai and the other Seraph talk.

@exorcist-ava

Even as a guardian angel, Sarai was still not exempt from picking up coffee for the Council. She ordered the coffees, remembering the god-awful tastes of her superiors, and walked out the door.

She was distracted by a lot of things. One, she still couldn't stop thinking about Milan, who was now probably still with Adina.

((She wants to be with her? I shouldn't be so surprised. I could never compare. I'm not much.))

Second, Lana was bugging her - and not just by ignoring her helpful advice. She reminded her so much of someone - Ava, someone who she had also lost forever.

((They're so much alike. She'll hate me too soon. I know it. Ava already does.))

Lost in her thoughts, she bumps into a tall figure, whom she spills all her coffee over.

Oh, I- -🦢

@seraphim-grace

[seraphim-grace]

Grace gasps, glaring at Sarai. You insolent- She cuts herself off. Oh. It's you. I should've expected that.

You can't do anything right, can you? Coffee is the easiest task possible and you still managed to fail that. The seraph takes one of Sarai's front locks of hair, looking it over before letting go. I see you've finally grown out of that disgusting gray. I thought you would've grown out of your stupidity along with it. Grace smirks.

[seraphim-sarai]

Sarai hissed.

Grace. I should've known. What other member of the Court would waste their time picking on Apprentices?

Grace had always despised her being "terrible to her little Adina", which was fine by Sarai, as she never liked the older Seraph anyway. She was glad that she and Sera at least shared that dislike in common.

Perhaps you should spend your energies on something actually productive. Maybe then Sera would actually be able to respect you as an equal. -🦢

[seraphim-grace]

Why would I be equal to Sera, when I am much better? But of course, you would be all about 'being equal' to lesser beings. Especially since you mingle with that exorcist. She scrunches her nose in disgust.

What was her name again? Ava? She was the one who killed the Hellborn, was she not? How stupid of her, not even being able to see the difference between a filthy Sinner and a hellborn. I wouldn't be surprised if she was a Sinner herself. She was lucky my dear Adina was so sweet to take her in. Grace's smirk grew wider, knowing how much she was pissing Sarai off. She was enjoying tormenting the apprentice.

[seraphim-sarai]

At the mention of Ava, Sarai’s other eyes emerged in anger. She raised her wings high.

Don’t you dare speak about him that way.

She slowly shifted into her Bible-accurate form with her mounting anger.

Ava is a far better angel than both you and Adina combined!

She is more righteous than any member of the Court, and so, so much more deserving of anyone’s trust than I could ever say.

She winces with regret over how she never truly said that to Ava. Her stupid, stupid pride had prevented her from doing so. And now it was too late.

YOU OF ALL ANGELS have no right to speak ill of her. -🦢
