The Cutglass Queen

Adelaide, vampire. Make it quick. Current Magic Anon: M!A: Magic Under My Skin

The war was still going on. Adelaide honestly wondered how anyone was still alive. But she was running out of vampires. Thankfully there was a clan outside of Chicago that she used to work with before all this began. And they agreed to a meet up. Which is how Adelaide found herself outside of Chicago. 

And that's how she found herself slamming right into the vessel of Lucifer herself. And after that Adelaide does three things, growls under her breath, inhales, and pastes a smile on her face. After all, after a year of war, one inhale is all it takes to catch a non-human scent. 

"Sorry about that."

[chalkdustprophets-archive]

I am sorry, I think— it must be meant, I mean. What you meant.

To say you wish you had killed me, the same time you killed him! I mean I know you could not possibly be trying to pretend you did not murder him, stone-cold.

[thebloodredqueen]

Fine, would saying I wish I would have slit both your throats be better? Actually, I'd have killed you first, just to watch him suffer.

[chalkdustprophets-archive]

Oh, I do not like that expression. It is the expression of someone who wishes she had gotten to my entrails, first.

[thebloodredqueen]

Your entrails would be the start.

I simply wish that I'd have killed you when Metis died.

[thebloodredqueen]

"Idiots. I'd slaughter them all if that wouldn't leave me completely vulnerable." The door's broken, again. Then again, so is her hand, so the door's not a priority.

[ Come at him, bro. I mean— okay. In all seriousness, though, Winter swallows down the normal dose of blind rage that hearing a word about that alcoholic mess of a witch brings him, all apparent calm and deadened reaction even as the temperature drops minutely but noticeably. God, what awful control he has. ]

We won’t survive a second war, as long as Metis has that blonde.

…Aakster listens to him too, not anybody else— and Aurel takes his opinion seriously enough. Make a deal with the Seer. There has to be something he wants, he’s stabbed enough of his partners in the back for less.

[thebloodredqueen]

[Adelaide just pats him on the arm. And sighs.]

This is a pain in the ass. Why can't people stay dead anymore?

Besides, if Metis wants something, he'll burn everything to get it. And he's got enough claim to my place to be a serious threat. 

[That's why she killed him.]

[frigidknight]

…I didn’t notice. It’s cold in here, you’re right.

[ Winter, I’m not even going to dignify that horseshit with a narration tag. ]

This is the same Seer who tried to sell me Linna’s real name? Somehow— I don’t think that bottle blonde is under his thumb.

[thebloodredqueen]

Shut up.

[She's trying very hard not to hit you.]

They have a history. I've no doubt that if he comes after us, the Seer will follow. And bring Viola and Aurel with. 

We may have a second war.

[frigidknight]

Levelling the field.

[ Yeah, let’s put it that way. Seriously, his socks are ruined. ]

…I heard about him. Crowley’s playing games with us now too?

[thebloodredqueen]

We lost our door again, and you should have told me. Jesus.

[Shh, you can change them in a bit we are bitching right now, and that's much more important.]

Crowley's always playing games. We must have gotten under his radar. But Metis is going to take advantage of the War and attempt to get his place back. And he's got the Seer under his thumb. 

[frigidknight]

+ thebloodredqueen

[frigidknight]

…Surprise.

[ He’s still not dead, and still not in hiding— the air around his hands is frigid, and there’s selky blood on his shoes. Please don’t kill him? ]

[thebloodredqueen]

Idiot. I ought to stab you, but knowing my luck this week you'd just wake up again.

[Winter I hope you know if she were any less than what she is she'd be crying. Or have punched you. Instead you get a glare and bitter jokes.]

Where the fuck were you.

"You will not understand these titles as I give them to you, but I am the Noble Immortal of the Wild Curse," she says softly, eyes lowered, hands clasped in front of her. Her demeanor could easily be mistaken for deference, but it is and always will be prudence. 

[thebloodredqueen]

Well, that didn't really answer her question. But, Adelaide rolls with things, and when a name is given, you give one in return. "I am Adelaide Toussant. Is there something I can do for you?" Politeness returned, of course. 

[thebloodredqueen]

immortalofthecurse found you

"May I help you?" Adelaide's slipped into professional mode before she even turned around. The perks of Winter being probably dead. Besides, no one comes here unless they're looking to join or kill her. 

She just hopes her death isn't the case today,

incendiummetis replied to your post: So, my formerly dead ex is not dead anymore (and...

Perhaps you should have tried harder to keep me dead. Or taken out Argent when you started. You’re /slipping/, Adelaide.

GET OUT!  I've killed you once don't think for a second that I won't do it again, even if I requires taking Crowley down myself I will fucking burn you.

[wintermae]

Maybe you are, huh? I think I can live with that. [Mae pauses for a moment before smiling] You are kinda cute. Pretty eyes.

What’re you here for then?

[thebloodredqueen]

I definitely am. [Adelaide returns the grin.]

Scoping out a new place to live.

[thebloodredqueen]

So, my formerly dead ex is not dead anymore (and shacking up with that damned Seer I'm going to rip his throat out and fucking feed it to him) and I've lost half my army due to stupidity. Winter's gone dead?

And Aurel's dodging my calls. What's next to go wrong?

thebloodredqueen said: [The door might be open. Actually, there’s no longer a door. Don’t ask where the door went—that wasn’t her. She grins at him, a weak grin but a grin.] Hi.

[themasterofwhat-archive-blog]

So, you seem to be missing a door. Is that a new design statement?

[thebloodredqueen]

Actually, selkies are assholes who decided that the house looks better without one. And I've just not had the energy to fix something that will be kicked down.

How have you been?

[wintermae]

Y’know if you keep parrotin’ back my endearments ‘m gonna think you’re flirtin’ with me. [Laughing softly] Usually when a vampire ‘just passes through’ some kinda trouble ‘s brewin’.

[thebloodredqueen]

Maybe I am. I'm too cute to cause trouble anyway.

[Actually,she's just trying to find a place to settle in case she loses this war. Not that she expects to, but a girl's gotta make backup plans.]
