Ive been thinking a lot about how neither Fox or Rurik would be good Head Of The Train Boards, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think either would be *horrible* fits for being board members. Like, I think Fox would actually be good to have on the board because they’d be able to help navigate hell legalese and their high mithridacy I think would be good to have in your corner. Rurik I think would fill a similar role as his amused lordship in that after BaL he kinda needs a place to start putting all this money he doesn’t know what to do with, tho he’d also lean way more into charitable works like sinning Jenny does in canon already. He’d also want to use it as an excuse to hunt things around the tracks

Been struggling to get more artfight stuff completed because my house has not central cooling and it has been routinely +82° F in it (my window units are also Old TM,) but I can always count on being able to doodle Fox looking miserable no matter the circumstances

14. Does your OC hold grudges? How good are they at letting things go? Do they believe in second chances? (For Colfox!)

Genuinely I think the best way to answer is by saying yes they absolutely hold grudges, and they’re also a often too utilitarian to justify letting that lead to many actual acts of revenge. Second chances are often reserved for after they’ve felt a certain eye for an eye metric has been met that only exists in their brain based on how slighted they feel though unfortunately. And until that metric has been met, that grudge is going to sit and fester like a hot coal on carpet until it’s dealt with.

If you slight them, there’s a cost benefit analysis actively running in their brain on how beneficial it is to play Nicies. Letting whatever bad may come of it be can be attributed to act of plausible deniability on their end or withholding genuine resources and providing less valuable information if you are looking to get something from them. Sometimes the best way to get revenge is by letting nature take its course after all. If they think it necessary to take a more active role, then this can look like some unfortunate information falling into the wrong hands and uh oh some thieves are made aware of some valuables you keep in your home including what your typical schedule is like that’d keep you away during this time of day, or uh oh that devil working you is a little bit better at finding you on your route and knows more about your interests than you remember. Alas, it’s good to keep their options open and threads in their network available so while they’re not going to be heartbroken should misery befall whoever they’re holding a grudge against, they can also be very good at holding resentment back for the sake of personal benefit.

If the cost is low enough or the slight against them great enough they can justify burning that bridge, Fox is absolutely not beyond tailing someone and knifing them in a back alley and then robbing the corpse down to its skivvies though. You can take the knife and candle game from the player but you can never take the player out of the game.

Thinking about how Fox’s dad was a lawyer and how that has, in part, bestowed eternal Lawyer Brain onto them. Forever the Devils Advocate

Come Hell or high zee, all you wanted was a nice evening. You are...

A Guest

[ Publish this ask after the game to come clean about your role. ]

Normally Colfox comes to these parties to pick up information on the attendees and the wait staff alike, but that’s not exactly possible to do while in a trance through the first half and dead through the second. It didn’t help their mood that by the time they woke up there wasn’t a single ounce of tobacco on them to calm their nerves. By the time the few remaining guests began returning from the depths Fox had palmed several of the non-suspicious looking knives from the host’s collection and stashed them safely and discreetly throughout their coat. There’s at least some money to be made here.

The evening wasn’t a total wash though. Their real prize in all of this being the disc that held the musical correspondence, safely wrapped and tucked away as they quietly make distance from the now smoking manor and the other guests. There’s some contacts Fox knows who may have a strong interest in this, even edited as it is. All their stolen belongings will have to wait to be relocated at a more convenient time. It’s not as if it’s all that difficult to find everyone’s addresses later with the right words pressed to the right ears after all.

I think Fox would chop their hair if they make it long enough into the neon future

New song for Fox’s playlist got me deep in the mind trenches thinking about their relationship with their deceased husband on the surface and their very very complicated relationship with their feelings about and for him. To bad Fox would literally rather gut themself then talk about it to anyone, including but especially the relationships they let his rotted corpse get in the way of for fear of it biting them.
