YOU HAVE JUST DIED.
↳ what loot items do you drop?
VAGGIE;
COMMON: Lilac dust. Lovely as a concept, but makes you sneeze your head off and gain a bad case of allergies.
UNCOMMON: Moths. Purple moths with red-tipped wings flutter freely and are attracted to both light sources and a certain Hell’s princess.
RARE: Watchful Damnation. Vaggie might have been a demon, but she was a good soul deep down. It’s only fitting you inherit her punishment for felling one of the humane souls in Hell. Consider privacy as a luxury of the past or put your brain hard to work to see if you can somehow lift another’s burden from your shoulders. Nowhere did it say the loot items had to all be “positive”. Also, I imagine a certain Princess would heavily influence this be obtained as soon as possible, thus it being right after “uncommon”. There is a slim chance that Vaggie was slain for a good reason, after all. I can definitely see this as being one of those “WELL THAT WAS NOT WORTH IT” kills. 
ULTRA-RARE: Death Token. An ominous-looking black key that smells of damp earth and strangely perfumed dust, and it bears a weathered headstone reading “Priscilla López“ at its head. Upon being used in a Witching Hour ritual, the bearer will arrive in the human world atop Vaggie’s grave.
LEGENDARY: (1) Moth Wings. These broken, dusty lilac wings are big and sharp at their tips, bearing the design of eyes in their patterns. They give a weak flutter now and then despite being no longer attached to their demon. Each flutter emits short-lived moths that crawl about in the vicinity before crumbling into dust. (2) Vaggie’s spear. This beautiful, ornate spear is sharp to the point and well cared for, and capable of slaying a demon. It has a history of threatening both pimps and radio hosts. (3) A pair of Master Keys to the Happy Hotel. No door can stay locked to you now -- unless the Princess changes them, of course. (4) Heart-shaped locket. This black locket pulses like a heartbeat, and upon opening, reveals the coupled picture of its prior owner and her beloved tightly embraced. They look so happy, but with time, Vaggie will begin to appear to fall asleep until she disappears from the picture entirely, and the Princess will appear deeply mournful. Her gaze bores into you, and sometimes she is glaring at you.
STELLA;
COMMON: Snow and Icicles. It does not melt immediately, and the snow is surprisingly soft to the touch. The icicles, on the other hand, are very sharp and could probably be used as a weapon. There’s a faint perfume scent lingering over both.
UNCOMMON: Milkyway Bubblebath. An extremely expensive luxury bubble bath mixture in a tall galaxy-themed bottle. Contains actual stardust and cosmic magic!
RARE: (1) Stella’s telephone. It does not appear to need to be plugged into anything and has multi-dimension long-distance calling! How nifty! (2) Cosmic Wine. The remains of dead stars and comet tails have been aged into some of not only the best alcohol you’ll ever have the pleasure of tasting, but also the most expensive. The common demon is damn well sure this thing has more value than themselves. Yikes.
ULTRA-RARE: (1) A single feather that belonged to the noble Stella, cold and fine, and drizzles snowflakes once waved about. (2) A regal pair of ice skates made of Goetian ice. Octavia has noted before how these are amongst her mother’s most prized possessions. They’re chilling to the touch, and you’re certain the blades are made of some sort of magic ice. (3) Goetian Snow. This snow is imbued with magic and radiates the energy of a fallen demonic noble, and it is beautiful. Only by the hands of the Morningstars can it be melted. 
LEGENDARY: (1) Two chilling-to-the-touch frosted snow globes that are stunning to the eyes and numbing to the hands if not handled properly. When shaken, one will show the Goetian Princess Octavia and the other will show Prince Stolas in actual motion going about their day-to-day. Powerful magic must be used to activate them for further use, allowing the holder to teleport to either one. (2) Stella’s Crown. The weight of it is surprisingly heavy in your hands, and it is pure Hell’s gold with fine engravings in its design. The tips are sharp enough to prick a finger. (3) A wedding band, glorious and priceless, but like the crown, is quite able of making one feel extremely nervous to even hold due to its high value. On the inside of the band appears to be the engraving of two summoning sigils; Stella’s and Stolas’s, both closely intertwined.
ALICE LIDDEL;
COMMON: (1) Drink Me potions. Pretty but simple glass bottles filled with a purple liquid that tends to make one hiccup and shrink to the size of a mouse! Flavor varies to that of cherry tarts, roast turkey, toffee, pineapple, custard, and hot buttered toast. (2) Playing cards. A handmade set of playing cards tucked away within a burgundy pouch. They feature odd-looking characters instead of your standard caricatures, ranging from a frightening, thin, grinning cat as the Joker and a monstrous, wicked-looking crowned heart as the Queen.
UNCOMMON: (1) Shattered Looking Glass. What was once a mesmerizing hand mirror has shattered suddenly upon Alice’s death, leaving behind only a cracked, rose-molded handle and large shards of glass. (2) Eat Me cake. An enormous cake decorated with white fondant and cherries, reading ‘Eat Me’ in red icing. Take only a small bite to become the size of a house!
RARE: (1) Alice’s Omega Charm. A chain necklace with a big, silver omega charm hanging from it. One wonders how this can be worn comfortably, but the brown strands of hair caught in the chains can lead one to believe it’s worn often. Its symbolism is left ambiguous without its wearer. (2) Patient Files reading “Rutledge Asylum” and  “Houndsditch Home for Wayward Youth - recordings by Dr. Angus Bumby” on the front.
ULTRA-RARE: (1) Brown Suitcase. This looks like the suitcase of a nomad, filled with the basic essentials, dresses, overalls, striped stockings, and travel-weathered belted boots. There’s a bronze ring full of keys attached firmly to the top of the inside, dangling what appears to be an empty vial and a miniature glass house. There are strange knickknacks to be found in here as well beneath all the dressings, things such as a teacup, a bottle of teeth, a turtle shell, and pamphlets to a theater that does not exist (?). (2) Alice’s Sketch Book. A brown hardback with tatty edges and worn, messy pages, stuffed to the brim with vivid, imaginative drawings in both charcoal and paint and keepsakes. There is strange gray and black fur tucked away within a skull-centered pocket watch made of bone in the very back of the book, rested in a made indentation and hidden behind a drawing of the same cat in the playing cards. The word ‘Wonderland’ is a repeating word scrawled throughout this book. (3) Liddel Family Portrait. A framed photograph of a mother, a father, an older sister, and a young Alice hugging her rabbit toy. It’s unknown how this has survived the Liddel catastrophe, but it had made its way to her hands and became quite the protected item.
LEGENDARY: (1) Alice’s White Rabbit. A soft and dingy white rabbit with one button eye, decorated with stitches galore to keep this old thing together. It has a dark, shiny red nose and a hollow eye socket that looks morbidly realistic, and has red stains splotched about that just cannot be rinsed clean. The fabric on the right side of its head has been torn off, showing the hard foundation beneath that’s browned with time, eerily enough reminding one of a skull cap. This was the most sentimental item that Alice possessed, a survivor of the family fire, and was almost constantly in her grip as it is the only material thing to have brought her comfort. (2) The Vorpal Blade. A long, sharp bloodied kitchen knife embellished with floral filigree in its blade and design in its handle. The energy it admits makes it feel sentient to some degree.

Rosy Haze, Rosy Touch and Apatite Chatter for Niffty, Stella and Blue 8)))
Stonework Headcanons
Rosy Haze: Do they react well when they develop feelings for someone and if not why?
Niffty: She is always very enthusiastic when she forms a crush and throws herself into it entirely. That sort of attitude is what led her to her demise, after all. She loves to chase the feeling and obsess over this certain someone, but she's bound to drop him and move onto the next once someone new enters the picture. When she is actually in love, she gets lovesick and leans into her obsessive tendencies even harder. What's positive for her is likely not so for the guy in question.
Stella: Nope. HA. Even when she fell for Stolas, the feeling was so passionate and strong it honestly scared the hell out of her because she just thought of all the ways it could go wrong. How could something like that exist inside of her, anyways? She wasn't raised to be familiar with the signs, and love is something her family discouraged. Marriage is business. So when this feeling came around and took hold of her, well, it scared her, and there's still signs of how jumpy it can make her even now this far down the road. Compared to Niffty who falls for a new guy every week or month, Stella is a very hard, very stern slowburn. She doesn't fall easy - Stolas has just been the one good thing in her life since childhood. If their marriage ends, she will do anything to keep herself from feeling "love" again, such as freezing some part of her own heart. She can't handle it twice.
Blue Diamond: Blue is a very woman who feels things very strongly with her whole gem. Something so joyous and natural as love comes and warms her from the core. She accepts it as well as breathing, but whether or not she acts on it is another story entirely. She can love very, very strongly and the woman she's pining after will be none the wiser for eons.
Rosy Touch: How do they show affection nonverbally? Are they likely to show affection with their words as well?
Niffty: Acts of service such as cleaning her loved one's area. She knows things like this can fall behind, especially if the individual is very busy, so she takes it upon herself to clean their area and arrange it the way her mind has it framed from memory. She has a very acute memory, and that big eye of her takes in every detail. She won't mess up a system in place, she won't move something where it doesn't belong, she'll just clean it up. Outside of that, she's very affectionate and she does make it very clear she cares for someone. She will babble a babbling brook of word vomit with how much she cares for them, and it may not always be appealing words they want to hear because she covers many bases - even things they may find unappealing about themselves - but that's Niffty for you: Brutally honest and just brutally verbal.
Stella: She's not good with her words, so it is her actions and the things she does that speaks volumes. Stolas is no stranger to seeing icy constellations grown out of their ceiling and above their canopy, and in his office as well. She makes winter wonderlands in the courtyard and the foyer that Octavia has grown up quite familiar with - little snow castles and sleighs, and possessed snow creatures that will tow sleds and play with her. Stella is also no stranger to being a regular member of high royal auctions, always keeping an eye out for something specifically fascinating she knows either of them would love.
Blue Diamond: She enjoys sitting in her pool with her loved one and brushing her hair, combing it back. Quality time is very much her love language, she enjoys the downtime so much that it can easily snow over official duties - she just loses time entirely to it and will be frowning when it must end. She is a very clingy personality.
Apatite Chatter: Are they the friendly sort or do they prefer to let others start off interactions with them?
Niffty: Yes. She pushes boundaries mind you, and she has no filter what-so-ever - she speaks straight from the heart and only catches herself once she's sputtered out something she realizes is not exactly appropriate or mannerly, but she will drown almost anyone in her attention and usually be the first to approach unless the other party is somehow quicker. Very social.
Stella: Unless she has a good damn reason to communicate with other parties, she does not socialize at all LMAO. She socializes well with other royals who she has good partnerships with, but she is never one to casually approach… anyone. She's honestly one of my muses who is really hard to forms connections with because of this. ;;; Stubborn owl.
Blue Diamond: She's the sort to wait, and when approached, she will engage in conversation - she approaches no one for social pleasure unless they are of Diamond station. She is not unfriendly, but you must remember she is a Gem Empress and this is the sort of thing to expect. Folk outside of the structure generally have to reach out to her.. unless a rare moment happens where her curiosity is struck.

On Stella’s side of the family, it’s tradition for children to be gifted what they know as “The Corset” ; an enchanted ivory piece that fits tight onto its wearer with thin, needle-line bones fashioned along the inside of the spine. This is a fashion piece meant to keep the wearer, from childhood to young adulthood ( and in special cases, adulthood ), poised like, of course, a corset would.. except in a way different than those of human corsets. Every slouch would sink the needles in and cause the wearer to straighten their posture. A straightened back would have the needles rest and press, but never sink. It would adapt with age, assuring every member of the family had one special corset for them and them alone.
Stella, of course, was raised to wear one.
When Octavia reached the age of four, her grandfather deemed it appropriate to carry on tradition and passed on a corset just her size for her birthday. She remembers only seeing it once before her mother snatched it from her grasp and disappeared from the room in a flurry of feathers, pursued by her grandfather and grandmother while Stolas took to damage control for cheering up a now upset Stella. It was of course very upsetting for a child to be given a lovely gift from the grandparents she loved, only to have it ripped away not even a few moments later by her mother, no explanations given.
In time, Octavia would understand, especially when both Stella and Stolas came around to explaining why it was her mother reacted the way she did. Her mother grew up with a lot of traditions, and some she was not interested in continuing.

There is an enormous room with a collection of snow globes connected to the right of Stella’s office, lining the walls and filled with various scenery. Many are in motion as they display imagery of particular mortals going about their daily lives in the human world, while others contain a more parallel image of demons and humans alike trudging through heavy winter storms, hugging themselves for warmth while covered in snow and icicles, any visible skin tinted blue.
In the middle of the room there are four towering columns of ice with misty steps connected between, all leading up to a frozen central pedestal, crowned with the biggest snow globe in the room. It pulsates from within, letting off a cold aura, the inside of it showing the milky way. This acts as Stella’s teleportation without need for incantation as long as there is a globe of her own on the other side. Those who are not of the Goetia family find their hands will start to turn to ice once they touch it, and any intruder who holds onto it too long will be frozen solid.
This globe also acts as Stella’s own crystal ball, allowing her to see through the eyes of snowy owls on Earth and in Hell itself. To peer upon others when they lest expect it and, in Hell, to use them as her own transport method when she means to, appearing in gust of feathers and star dust. On Earth, she also uses these owls as a communication method, although the owls themselves do not talk, they merely stare at the contracted human with eyes turned milky white while her voice is emitted in full, echoing volume. If need be, Stella will appear as a ghostly image looming over the owl, but that is all until her own summoning circle of forged. Still, as Stolas demonstrated, she need not be there to cause catastrophe to get her point across.

While one would look at the vast array of colors that come from the stars and planets above and think of Stolas, another would feel the deep cold of space and think of Stella. The merciless cold she encapsulates has been used to freeze unfortunate demons and souls alike into frozen sculptures, including those who were once deemed dear and betrayed her in the end. Those are the ones she uses to decorate her personal study, while the others are met with a violent - but satisfying, on her end - shattering.
When she is truly going into a fit of wrath with no will to hold herself back, the temperature will drop and drop and drop. A sheet of ice will spread and crackle with jutting icicles beneath her form, each spike growing larger and more dangerous the more she rages on. As angry an individual Stella is, and she is, she has a strong willpower that keeps her from holding back just how frightening she can become.
