____________________________________________________________________________

Like usual, your day normally starts at the headquarters and have yourself join your colleagues inside the meeting room.

You sat along side Blitzo, if not beside Loona.

And as always, things around you escalate to chaos rather quickly like it usually does.

Speaking of that, an ear-splitting gunshot then ricocheted inside the meeting room as you watched Blitzo shoot the television by the time another similar company from yours come close to an end on screen. You remember it being called C.H.E.R.U.B. but you weren't exactly that interested about them anyway.

"Nice one, B!" Millie compliments Blitzo as he readies another bullet, purely looking frustrated. "Gimme another, Mox." He demands while waiting for Moxxie for another replacement.

Moxxie turns the television on and have the news channel pop up, though Blitzo is obviously not impressed by it so he asked Moxxie to change the channel again until he finds what he likes to watch.

Growing quite bored, you turn to put your head against the palm of your hands and lean against the table whilst looking off somewhere to let your mind find something else interesting instead. However, it didn't take long before you soon hear Blitzo's boisterous yelling right beside you then feel him roughly stand up.

"BINGO!"

Your boss yells, followed by another gunshot and see him shoot the television again for like how many times for just a day. You wonder where the hell do they even get so many of these in the first place, but never question it anyway.

As your colleagues were minding their own business, you suddenly feel yourself shake from your seat. You whip your head around to see what's causing that and notice you aren't the only one experiencing it either, seeing as Loona looks deeply concerned by it too.

"Guys, do you feel that?" She asks, Blitzo just happens to notice it too. "Oh shit, is that a hellshake?" He asks back. "That's possible?" Moxxie raises a brow in question.

Moving away from your seat, you stood near where they are and cautiously look around you. Loona must've felt your presence near her since you abruptly felt her grab your arm instinctively and hold onto you tightly, looking very worried as the shaking still doesn't stop.

You audibly hear both Millie and Moxxie converse about the peculiar occurrence but Moxxie denies it bluntly, declaring it not being possible. As then, Loon lets go of you momentarily and grabs Moxxie by his shoulders and starts shaking him hysterically. 

"STOP BEING HYSTERICAL, FATTY!" She yells at him, throwing the poor imp right across the room afterwards.

You went to help him, but was pushed back by an unknown impact and feel yourself stumble back on your feet. Which resulted with you falling on your back, with both of your arms supporting you up, and glance at where Moxxie was once was. Only to see pile of debris with a busted wall above it.

Then promptly, a bunch of robotic appendages appeared, revealing a freakishly, fairly, tall, demon entering the room.

"Do not be afraid." They spoke,

"Who the fucking hell..." Blitzo mutters, his eyes narrowing in frustration at the demon before you all. He looked quite territorial for a moment, but Millie quickly interrupts him by asking who the hell the said demon is instead while wielding an axe, threateningly.

"I am Loopty Goopty—" said the robotic demon, striding his way in with the help of his robotic legs. "—dastardly inventor of all things Loopy and Loopish!" He adds after, now standing near you all. But specifically right in front of you without his notice.

He then looks down and finally notice you still on the floor, you actually didn't notice you were still sitting there to be honest. You were distracted. "Oh." He bends down a bit and see him reach a hand out to you as if to help you up. He clears his throat.

"Pardon my behavior for I am eccentric, and must therefore, do eccentric shit!" He didn't bother waiting for you anymore and decide to pull you off the ground anyway, you stumble quite a bit and manage to stand straight again with him balancing you on your feet like a rag doll. 

"There!" He benevolently excuses himself from you and turns towards your colleagues. "Could've just used the door, dude. Doesn't need to be this whole thing..." Loona grimaces at the mechanical looking demon.

"SHUT UP, DEAR FURRY!"

He silences Loona, making her growl in infuriation at the nickname, while you coughed between your hands to stop yourself from laughing at what he just called your hellhound friend.

Thereafter, you see Blitzo sniff the air surrounding the odd demon and have him blanch from the scent. "Augh, this old fuck reeks of the living world—did you just die?" His brows furrowed from the thought. Loopty answers him bluntly with a long yes, further explaining that he did only have died moments ago then fished a picture of an old man from his outfit.

"THIS is the man I'm gonna need you to kill!" He sang in an odd tune, but Blitzo could care less about his behavior to begin with.

"Not even a shits length of time in hell and already plotting revenge. I CAN RESPECT A MAN WITH THAT SORT OF PASSION!" He casually walks over to the robotic demon and shakes his hand, introducing himself.

"I'm Blitzø and the 'o' is silent!"

Loopty gave him a puzzling look for a second about his name but Blitzo brushed it off, only changing the topic bluntly about the reason behind killing the target and for more further details.

"Guys, help—!"

You hear a faint raspy voice croak like a dying animal. Turning over, you find Moxxie still beneath the gravel with no signs of him being able to get out of it. You sigh and ignored the rest of your group and approach the poor imp instead to aid him.

You are the only one who always helps him from time to time whenever he does need assistance and whenever the whole group ignores him, must be another reason why this guy grown to be quite fond of you.

With a hard pull from his hand, he was then easily pulled out from the pile of rubbish he was in. Moxxie gasps loudly for air and spits out a few coughs for a moment then huffs, looking like he's about to faint but kept himself steady against you.

"...th–th—anks..." He panted, almost falling over but you kept him still.

"It's not a problem!" You assure him.

"Ehh– That's not really evil..." You distinctly catch Blitzo's reply, sounding unmoved by Loopty's story.

"IT'S EVIL TOWARDS ME!"

"Now get your crimson asses up above and send that heartless, no good, son of a bitch to hell! Where he belongs!!" Loopty soon adds, Blitzo looking abashed.

"Y-You do know Poopty—"

"Loooooopty." He corrects him.

"O-Of course, of course."

This was taking too long, you didn't even bother listening further into their conversation anymore and look towards Moxxie only to still see him struggling to stand straight. Shaking your head, you pulled him off his feet and dragged him towards a nearby chair to let him sit. He mumbled a low thank you to you, which you told him to not mind it that much.

After you finally heard their conversation come to an end, you couldn't help but zone out. You just can't seem to absorb the situation before you at all. Like you just seem out of it.

Out of nowhere, your phone buzzed from your pocket audibly, causing you to turn your attention to it and have your hand fish it out to see what it's about. Looking at the screen, your [e/c] eyes widen slightly from bewilderment. 

'Huh—'

Your mind attempted to process, staring at the notification from your phone screen as it signifies something had arrived from where you live.

Wherein, it's declaring about a strange unknown package being put at your apartment's doorstep...

You felt a bid of cold sweat coming to form from your forehead, you weren't that anxious but moreover bemused.

'Did Blitzø ordered another horse for his collection again..?? Wait— no that couldn't be, then it would've had him receive the notification of the arrival instead...' Your mind wanders, you thought maybe either Loona or him could've accidentally ordered something online using your account or whatever but...

'No... That's stupid. They don't even know my password nor will they ever use mine just to order something online...'

Childish thought, but then who could– what if—

A snap of fingers caught your attention back to reality. You look over to the owner of the hand then see Blitzo staring back at you with a stupefied expression, he chuckles once he managed to get your attention back on him. You only gave him a puzzling look.

"Well? We gotta get rollin', sweetie!! We have an old geek to off!" Blitzo tells you with excitement, tugging on your wrist to pull you along.

You didn't budge though. To be fair, you were more like stiff.

Because of that, Blitzo peers at you weirdly from the corner of his eyes, already catching that there must be something up with you.

"[N/n], sweetie? Is something bothering you?" He faces you with a concerned expression, yet he tries to make it seem unnoticeable.

"Oh, I'm fine! I'm completely fine—I just..." You look back at your device in hand then back to him again, unsure of how to respond back to him.

You impassively release a sigh, knowing he's only gonna press further until he gets the answer. "I wanna go and check on something first. Can you guys go alone instead..?" He seem to be baffled from your response, but quickly hid it by laughing. He probably didn't take it seriously...or he's pretending, you assumed.

"Haha... Wait, so does that mean—" his face morphs into a dejected look. "—you...aren't going to tag along with us then?" He says, looking even more downhearted.

You flinched when you suddenly feel something coil around one of your legs, looking down, you notice his tail tightly wrapping around your calf. It wasn't tight enough to hurt you though, but it made it difficult enough for you to move away from your spot.

"Err... Blitzø..?" You shift quite uncomfortably, trying to move away for space but his tail didn't help at all. You eyed him with concern. He seemed to be stuck within his thoughts at the moment, seeing as he is just...staring deadly on the floor.

Before things could go even more disconcerting, a sound of harsh slap resonated. Your eyes widen in shock as you see Loona's hand across your boss's face, noticing one of his cheeks slowly tinting red.

She must've slapped him...

"Blitzø, Jesus fuck! Let 'em at least have a goddamn break for even just a single day! Dammit!!" She growls. You soon feel his tail slowly yet reluctantly unwrap around your leg, but not before twitching to let go.

"Can't you see how much you're making them uncomfortable sometimes?? Gosh, you are so annoying..." Loona adds, now standing in front of you while facing Blitzo.

At this point, you're more concerned of how Blitzo is currently feeling. But things are more awkward as it is now, so you decided to stay quiet.

Blitzo abruptly shakes his head, appearing as if he just woke up from a weird trance and turn to face Loona with a look of dumbfoundment.

"Huh– Wait— Wha- A who?" He blurts out like he's drunk, Loona squints her eyes in frustration back at him, clearly very unimpressed. "Y'know what? Just—leave and do your stupid job..." She did a hand gesture for them to leave, Blitzo just shrugs in reply.

"Welp! Let's get it over then!" He elatedly says, looking like he completely forgot what just happened and was about to grab you again to leave. Loona sternly stops him though and glares down at him.

Blitzo seemed to unconsciously narrow his eyes at this, but you couldn't see it since Loona stayed unmoving before you.

"You're leaving without them..."
