// An oldie but goodie. A friend gave me this for Christmas many moons ago, and I just recently found it when I moved house.

Where does Jim live? What's it look like/how does he decorate?

His office is a shared space in most of my verses (with Mrs. Halifax, of course, and her girls). I headcanon that his office is actually far fancier than his actual home, because it’s where he brings other people for the purpose of impressing and intimidating them. Sometimes there are also lodgings in that very building, sometimes not, depending on the story I’ve crafted and with whom. The office is on Conduit Street, in Mayfair. (Fun fact, there is a Vivian Westwood right there ON Conduit Street. It’s also very close to Huntsman, which many of you will recognize is the location for Kingsman). 

His flat is modern and everything in it is expensive, but it’s surprisingly normal. A bed. A sofa. An armchair. A room with a desk in it, and a bunch of his junk. A normal kitchen, filled with normal food (though much of the time the fridge is sparse; he rarely remembers to buy food on his own, and doesn’t do a whole lot of cooking). There’s a piano, and art, too, most of it rather pricey. But many of the most priceless articles he owns aren’t stored in his office OR his home, though his office is furnished with art, artifacts and other objects he’s acquired from around the world. 

In a verse I once had with a Severin, he had a tank of piranhas (that were used in unsavory ways) and in another verse with one of my Sebastians, he had a small enclosure with a rare species of black widow smuggled home from Eastern Europe. He usually has specimens, live or dead, of some sort, depending on what little project he’s tinkering with. In nearly every verse, evidence of Fabrizio can be found: his obnoxious little pomeranian (long, old story).

He has a large estate somewhere in the country, and it’s here he will usually have enemies or traitors transported before he does away with them or has them tortured for information (or for fun). Two very well-trained dobermans live here, as @rp-military-hunter can attest. Jim had used them in an elaborate lie, citing their names as Sterling and Stella, when their names are actually Felony and Miss Demeanor.
