It wasn't comfortable being aware of someone's exact moment of death, even when you care absolutely nothing for them. It wasn't the sadness that something was over that James was feeling, no, it was rather a taste of frustration. That his puppet wasn't as perfect as he ought to have been. That he had been such a pathetic creature that he wasn't even of much use before he died of idiocy. Annoyance with himself, that he'd failed. Failure disgusted him, but this was a minor one, and one that he could easily overcome. No, it was not failure, he did not fail. He quickly adjusted his plans to make the most of the situation. Not a failure, merely an obstacle to be stepped over with all the beauty and grace that he knew he embodied. And so he did, and so it was over, with the last breath of a puzzle piece that he no longer needed, for even before it was lost he had already changed the picture. He didn't even have to clean it up, someone would, eventually. It was no longer any of his concern. What was something to concentrate on were the pair that continued on, completely unhampered by his toy's last ditch effort. They were transformed, and he could just smell the colors oozing off of them and staining the previously pleasantly dark hallway. It made him sick, dizzy, like he was breathing in too many chemicals. He scowled and broke into a light trot, holding his skirts above the muck that the crystal seemed to be presenting them with. He wanted it, wanted his team to do their job and get it, wanted to hold it right in front of the faces of his enemies and flaunt their failure.
The only thing now was to decide where to go and what to do. He could go to the car and wait, perhaps grab some stranger and puppet them, but then he'd have to make them a pawn, and he didn't have the time to manipulate them like he did Lorenzo and his master was probably in no mood to give some puppet powers in the middle of an operation. So that clearly wasn't an option. He would have to expose himself to someone, and that was unfortunate, and yet, why spare anyone the chance of knowing just how wonderful, how amazing, how purely perfect Jet Black really was? But if he was going to make an entrance, he was going to make it where multiple people could see. The two behind him were a start, but nowhere near what he truly deserved. Still, they'd lead him where he'd need to go, to have a truly good time. A party, beyond words and expectations. Not that anyone was expecting him to show up, or even expect him to exist at all, but if they did, he would still blow them away. Without even trying. But oh he would try, and oh wouldn't they just swoon in line, as they ought to. It was only proper, to behave as such in front of someone as astonishing as himself.
And if he was going to come out and say hello anyway, he might as well take advantage of the pair already nearby. He dropped down, skewing his legs in front of him, bent at the knee just so, and began to cry, a frightened, hysteric blubbering that would have embarrassed him if it weren't just the perfect thing for the occasion. They were, after all, the heroes. Surely they would stop to pick up a sobbing, perfectly dressed girl stranded in a dark and frightening environment? Well, if they did, he'd just follow closely after them and he would still get his way. It would just be easier if they took pity on his sobbing. He could hear them get closer to the end of the hallway where he'd chosen to drop himself. He gave a little scream, crawling backwards a bit, as though he had heard a snake. "Wh-who's there?! H-help." He cried, honey dripping from his tongue, his voice the softest, sweetest feminine voice he could muster. Who wouldn't help that voice. He almost gave himself a standing ovation.
