Velvette nodded firmly and took out her phone, taking a look at what could be considered as "traditional" for Wrath-goers.

❝ I can manage it quite easily, I just need to get his measurements and a picture of him, Lord. I want to make sure the colors don't clash with his natural complexion.~ ❞

<<< hear just how Victor's going to try and talk his way out of this one. The dress that was just ruined took /days/ to get just right...

No good thing could last forever, not with Victor around...

❝ Of fucking course... ❞

Flicking a lock emoji at the door to the room, it firmly landed and acted as a barrier.

❝ /Victor/, you wanna explain to me just what the /shit/ you're doing?! ❞

It's obvious she's pissed, but she wants to >>>

The mentioning of her work almost going up in flames, literally, was enough to make Velvette's right eye twitch as she sets down the project she was working on.

❝ She say who the hell caused it this time, or is it just Val being Val? ❞

❝ You've been tripping over your damn words for a while now. Hell, just use it whenever you feel yourself suffering too nervous to do something.

Remember though, one or two drops /max/ per day. ❞

<<< it down somewhere real quick. Got a little something going on here. ❞

Not once did Velvette's gaze waver from the model. It turns into a scowl soon enough though.

❝ Courtney, get it /together/! Your stride is too short and you might roll your ankle! ❞

There it was, there's the annoyance...

It certainly helps when the least of the alliance comes bearing gifts. Even so, Velvette was the hardest to annoy when it came to matters outside of interrupting work. When Victor came with the drinks though, Velvette was busy watching a model practice their runway walk.

❝ Thanks, Boo, just set >>>

Velvette was currently patching up a hole in an old outfit, something out of season by a good few years at this point. That was when Orchid found her.

❝ Thanks, Love, just set it down on the table for me would you? I'm in the middle of something. ❞

|🪡| Don't know why it didn't @ me, but I got it.

She's the smallest and feistiest of her contemporaries, but that doesn't mean she's daft. Blue basically just said not to pick a fight with someone who has nothing to lose.

📲: My carpets are already red and I don't do death trophies.

📲: Fuck 'im up anyways though, Boo~! 💖

<<< your throat sucks ass. ❞

Putting a label on the bottle, Velvette writes "Bottled Courage" on it and floats it over to Victor.

❝ I'm sure you can guess what it does based on the name. ❞

❝ Who said anything about getting revenge on someone? Know what? I've got this. ❞

Turning back to the cauldron, Velvette took a bottle and drew from the well of power. Mixing in a few ingredients along with magic, the pink liquid began to turn a deep green.

❝ Drink it when it cools, scalding >>>

❝ That right? Queen can be a title instead of a ruling class too, I guess. ❞

Shrug.

❝ Unlike those noble born twats, I interact with "my people" often and passionately. ❞

❝ Val has his "Valentin-hoes" and I have my "Puppets." You'd think Vox would have a special name for his fans, but /no/. He keeps it impersonal.

No wonder he lost the popularity vote... ❞

Nevermind the events that could have lead to half of Pentagram City's obliteration.

<<<

📲: Fucked up stuff innit~?

It's not exactly subtle, but Vel was sure to let the bug know she knew just what kind of life the "ghost" wanted hidden from a lot of eyes.

📲: Won't tell anyone or even feed it to other sources, but you're trending~! ✨

<<< why he mentioned memory erasure as a stipulation. Can't let people know he's got close associates... ❞

That was when Velvette decided to shoot Blue a text.

[ Text To: BlueButterfly ]
[ Text From: That#Bitch ]

📲: Hey Boo, just saw this on the news!
[ That#Bitch Has sent a link! ]

>>>

<<< die. It was a fair enough one, people were afraid for their afterlives after all. Then again, it seems like only the worst of the worst were his targets. The districts he was attacking were known to be rife with crime, even /if/ Pride was generally lawless as a whole.

❝ That explains just >>>

❝ Well isn't /that/ interesting.~ ❞

Chuckling to herself, Velvette decided to post an open question for her follower base across all of her socials. The subject was simple...

"How do you feel about The Night Haunter?"

Answers poured in, most of which shared a similar sentiment... He needed to >>>

Cue Velvette liking the post Orchid made about her being the best looking of The V's.

Looks like she even V-Tweeted it! Not retweeted, V-Tweeted... You know how it is.

The doll rolls her eyes and takes on a more neutral expression.

❝ Look, just tell me what you want the potion to do to the person who drinks it. C'mon, it can't be /that/ hard to think of something, Vic. ❞

There was a lot of promise to be had there, though Velvette's features scrunched a bit when mentioning a troubled past.

❝ Don't need to know the sob story, I just need that award winning smile, Boo. That in mind though... How good are you with makeup, got any allergies you know of involving them? ❞

Vel's currently filing her nails, using various projections to scroll through various charts and trends being set by industry plants.

❝ Mhm, looking all good over here.~ ❞

<<< about as famous as you already are. If you just want me to put your music out there and recommend it, just say so.

Also, why the hell are you looking to get a free sample from me? You know you get a heavy discount already. ❞

Velvette let out a small sigh.

❝ You're plenty skilled already, that's /why/ you're part of The V's. Even then, potions of suggestion are things you'd have to have others drink. Unless you spike the entire function using it /and/ manage to have everyone keep it in their pants, you'd just be >>>

<<< a model that can show off hair accessories or hats. Either that or she uses a little magic for cosmetology based assistance.

❝ Hmm... Not quite. Try giving me a smile, but don't show too much, keep your teeth hidden. After that, give me your biggest smile without it looking forced. ❞

The witch puts a finger to her chin, her gaze hardening further. If this doesn't allow his face to shine, maybe he'd be better off as >>>

❝ It doesn't matter how drop dead gorgeous someone is, people don't like the high and mighty, impersonal types. Plus, monarchy is so 5 centuries ago, Doll.~ ❞

Velvette's eyes met Orchid's, prompting the doll to playfully bite the air at her. God, she was too easy.

❝ Victor, /Babes/... ❞

The witch turned from her cauldron in full, a projection of a hand emoji continuing to stir for her.

❝ You've been with us for how long now? You should know I can make damn near any potion I want, it's just that my love potions sell the most. ❞

❝ Sure, cute /can/ sell, but I'm looking for beauty today. Give me a pout if nothing else. ❞

The demonette's gaze was full of scrutiny, even the most subtle of flaws weren't beneath her notice.

❝ I'm not looking for perfection exclusively, but it wouldn't hurt if you /are/. ❞

❝ Because I'm feeling generous, I'm willing to offer a free sample of /almost/ any potion I can brew.

One sample per person, but come and get some, my little Puppets.~ ❞

Her smirk grows as she chuckles.

❝ No no, it's fine. I'm as much of a model as my employees, just better looking.~ ❞
