How would Clockwork react if she saw RLJ in his true form? Would he even recognize him? LJ's carnival is well known (and feared) so she must see the resemblance between the brothers

((Well, you see.. Although LJ’s carnival is kinda well known.. it’s more of a rumour, a folk tail of a carnival where monsters and killers alike would disappear... as that’s what happened to both Toby Rodgers and Jeffery Woods.. LJ himself is just as a rumour, as he rarely showed himself in public while Will was in the institute and witnesses to the ‘disappearance’ of Toby didn’t see LJ too well, if at all... Barely anyone knows how he looks like, like Frankie, Masky & the bartender [who just thought he was an odd clown], so Clockwork would only be.. surprised by RLJ’s true form, and wouldn’t really connect the dots between RLJ and LJ, as she doesn’t know what he looks like.))

♜ (for LJ)

♜ :Post-kill actions, thoughts, or emotions

Most of LJ's kills were in self defense or of men that she had known to be abusers.  Even rationalizing the kills, it still took it's toll on her.  There is one kill that she never had any regret over, and that is the death of his father.  She will never have remorse for his death, but she holds remorse over not getting there in time to save her mother.

After Sarah's death, LJ snapped.  This is the one time in her life that her morals went haywire, and her kills were messier.  Anyone that pissed her off had a good chance of facing her wrath during that time frame.  It's that span of time that still haunts her to this day.

After she kills, she will usually retreat to somewhere safe, and immediately shower, wanting the blood, scent -- all the traces of it, off of her body.  Then she will usually drink herself in a stupor so that she just sleeps and doesn't think about it.

♦ (one for each)

♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon

Leiella always has her iPod with her.  It is as much of a security item as her key is.  If she's walking through a crowd, she'll have it on playing one of her many playlist.  Leiella would not survive living in New York (or any other large city) with out it.

Hatta will almost always stand with her hands behind her back, fingers laced.  This started as a way to keep herself from touching Mad March before he allowed her to touch him in their later verses.  She can't shake the quirk now, and it's became a constant in all of her verses.

LJ collects glass bottles of all shapes, sizes and colors.  It's a hobby that started as a child, and it's one of the few things from her childhood that she still holds on to.

Headcanon - LJ's Hogwarts House

Even if she doesn't want power nor does she strive for it, Lily is cunning and sly.  She fits into Slytherin well, but she does not like the bad reputation that anyone associated with the house gets.

Headcanon - Lily and Xander First Child

Johnathan James McCaffrey

J.J. was conceived before either Lily or Xander had their divinity.  Lily received her divinity from Drake shortly after she found out that she was pregnant.  (Xander got Raphael's divinity a few months into Lily's pregnancy.)

J.J. is named in honor of Xander's battle buddy and Finley's brother, Jonathan.  James comes from Xander's father.

Since J.J. is not a nephilim, he will have to received divinity from the companions that make up his soul if he chooses to later in his life.  Lily and Xander will leave the decision up to him.  (He does decide to do this as an adult.)

What does their bedroom look like?

LJ's bedroom is a loft type room.  The walls are white and covered with some of her favorite paintings, even one or two of her own pieces.  On her bedside table and vanity, there are containers filling with origami lucky stars that she has folded, as well as stacks of paper strips to make more when she is bored.  There are glass bottles of all different colors randomly through out her room, and on the wall, there are a few of her favorite swords.  She has a walk in closet that is kept neatly, just as it the rest of her bedroom.

Headcanon Questions for whoever you'd like: 2, 8, 11, 17, 46

Do they have any daily rituals?

LJ lives a very ordered life, even once she is in New York.  For a decade in Paris, her life was beyond organized, planned out, and meticulous.  Many of these rituals carry over to her life in New York.  She dresses in a certain way, works out some each morning (usually a run), and has her coffee on the way to work.  LJ will still walk home a different way each day, which is another habit from Paris that she doubts she will ever be able to shake.  Her rigid way of life loosens when she gets into a stable relationship.  It's not that she "needs" someone to make that happen, but it's more that she finally becomes comfortable with herself.  

Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging 

Lily is a firm believer of indulging in the finer things in life.  It's usually things like the best chocolates, whiskey, scotch, and things of the such.  This was a habit that she started in Paris as a way to escape the insane life that she lead as part of the Patron Minette.

Intellectual pursuits?

LJ never properly went to college.  This doesn't mean that she stopped studying after she finished school.  She will read anything that she can get hold of, and she has taught herself a lot.  Once she leaves Paris, she does begin to take classes online for college, studying Art and World Histories.  The love for that begin with her time in the Patron Minette when she began to specialize in the trade of artifacts.

Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress

She is very particular in what she wears, especially in work situations.  LJ is always dressed properly, business suit or a skirt and blouse.  Rarely will she wear a dress from work.  At home, her style of dress relaxes to yoga pants and tank tops.  Her clothing is very much an armor/mask/facade for her.  Once she becomes more comfortable with herself, her clothes loosen up, and they are not always so formal or business like.  She will always wear her hair down more, then, not up in the bun she prefers when at work.

Do they express their thoughts through words or deeds?

Given her past, especially the abuse that she endured as a child, as well as the deception that she dealt with daily in Paris, LJ expresses herself through deeds.  LJ can sweet talk anyone if she really wants to, but her deeds speak more to her true feelings.  Despite her initial cold and off putting nature, once she grows to care for you, LJ will do whatever she can for you.
