The Assassins of I.M.P. Part 3: One Helluva Boss
Y/N grabbed the chair that was in front of him and sat down at the meeting table where Moxxie, Millie, and Loona were at.
Blitzø: So... You got a name, kid?
Y/N: Yes. I'm Y/N L/N. But, my friends call me N/N.
Blitzø: Nice name.
Y/N: Thanks. My mom picked it for me.
Blitzø: Mhmm... Anyway, I'm sure that you were trying to get comfortable before a certain "someone" hit you in the head.
Moxxie: *eye roll*
Y/N: Actually, I was trying to find something to eat. I didn't want to be a bother.
Blitzø: *laughs*
Y/N: Hm?
Blitzø: You? A bother? Come now. Don't think like that.
Y/N: R-Right.
Blitzø: So, out with it.
Y/N: What?
Blitzø: Come on. Tell us about yourself. Coke on. You know you want to.
Y/N: ... As much as I want to, I can't. It's too painful to remember.
Blitzø: Well, can you tell me about yourself? Like, what do you do for a living?
Y/N: ... I don't want you guys to laugh at me.
Blitzø: Ah, come on. You gotta tell us something.
Y/N: Okay. ... Well... I'm a scholar. When I was up there, I had a job up there where I study the Earth's environment and its secrets. I know that it sounds lame, but it's an important role when it comes to learning nature's anatomy.
Millie: Well, I'd say that you look like you've gotten the hang of this scholarship.
Y/N: I have. Since I've graduated middle school.
Blitzø: Right. And is scholarship really all you know?
Y/N: Oh no. Not really. When I was 16, I took some karate lessons in order to learn how to fight.
Blitzø: Right.
Loona: Well, apparently, you've been doing it a lot to the point where you've grown muscles.
Y/N: Huh?
He then looked at himself.
Y/N: How'd I miss this?
Blitzø: Hey, focus!
Y/N: Right. Sorry.
Moxxie: So, how'd someone like you end up in Hell? You look too... innocent.
Y/N: ... I can't remember. I don't know how I got here. Nor do I remember why I'm in Hell, anyway.
Millie: Really? Nothing?
Y/N: No. All I remember is... *shakes head* No. No. No, I can't. I'm sorry, but I don't want to think about it.
Blitzø: Does it have something to do with how you lost your parents?
Y/N: ... How the hell do you know that?
Blitzø: Um... Lucky guess?
Y/N: ... *sighs* Yeah. Something like that.
Blitzø: Right.
Millie: Well, maybe you snapped and went on a crazy rampage after your parents died?
Y/N: Like I said, I don't fucking remember and I don't want to talk about it!
Millie: O-Okay...
Y/N: Sorry. I'm not feeling like myself the way I normally do. But, I just arrived in Hell and I don't have a place to sleep or stay. Hell, I can't even find a fucking job!
Blitzø: *gasps* A job, you say? Well, what if I were to tell you that there is a bit of a job opening?
Y/N: Huh?
Moxxie: What?! Sir, you can't seriously be thinking about hiring him!
Blitzø: And why shouldn't I?
Moxxie: First of all, he's too innocent to kill people. Second of all, he's a scholar. Who the hell wants to have a scholar in this place?
Y/N: Hey! I told you, scholarship plays an important role in life!
Moxxie: Yeah, in life, but here in Hell? That's meaningless.
Y/N: I'll have you know, dickhead, that I find my job super important and valuable!
Moxxie: Well, that's no wonder why you don't have a job.
Y/N: *clenches fists* Watch your tone, fatty!
Loona's ears twitched and perked up after hearing Y/N call Moxxie fatty.
Moxxie: What was that?
Y/N: Did I not speak clearly? I said, "Watch your tone, fatty!" If you don't have anything nice to say, then shut that pie hole of yours and back the fuck off!
Blitzø: Hey, kid! Kid! Settle down. No need to get a sudden outburst. And you, Moxxie, better do what he says.
Moxxie: Hmph!
Y/N: I'm sorry. "Moxxie"? What kind of name is "Moxxie"?
Moxxie: My mother gave that to me since I was born.
Y/N: Oh, yeah, fatty? Well, back off! I do not want to leave a bad impression. And I know that you don't. That's why people call you "fatty".
Moxxie: *points at Loona* She's the one who calls me "fatty"!
Y/N: Really?
Loona: Hey, you live by the name.
Moxxie: I'm not fat!
Y/N: Maybe not, but that suit makes you look fat.
Loona: *stifled laughs*
Moxxie: Grr!
Millie: Moxxie, calm down. N/N's just trying to have fun and lighten the mood.
Moxxie: By insulting me?!
Y/N: She's right. Come on. Lighten up.
Moxxie: Hmph.
Loona: Well, I thought it was pretty good.
Y/N: Thanks.
Loona: ...
Millie: I'm Millie. Moxxie's wife.
Y/N: Really? Well, nice job, Mox.
Moxxie: ... Thanks.
Y/N: *looks at Loona* And you are?
Loona: I'm Loona.
Y/N: Seriously? Loona?
Loona: Yeah. Why?
Y/N: Nothing. I really like that name. Loona... It suits you.
Loona couldn't help but blush and look away as she played with her hair a bit and smiled.
Loona: *blushing* Th-Thank you. I like yours, too.
Y/N smiled and Blitzø smiled, too.
Blitzø: Ahem. Anyway, back to the topic at hand. You say you're jobless, right? Well, maybe we can hook you up with a... janitorial job.
Y/N: I'm sorry. A janitor?
Blitzø: Yeah. I mean, we do tend to leave messes behind every time we come back from a murder, so...
Y/N: ... *sighs* Welp, anything's better than nothing. But, where am I gonna stay?
Blitzø: You can stay here if you want. The couches are comfy to sleep on.
Y/N: Alright. I guess...
Blitzø: Then, it's settled! Welcome to the crew, N/N.
Y/N: ... Thanks. I need a moment.
He then stood up and walked away. Loona watched as he did and smiled.
Millie: Loona, are you smiling?
Loona: What?
Millie: I saw you smiling a few seconds ago.
Loona: Sh-Shut up! No, you didn't!
Millie: Wait, so you admit that you smiled?
Loona: I said, shut up!
Millie: Alright. Just messing with you.
Blitzø: Honey, it's alright if you did. To be honest, he did seem like a decent man. Plus, he did manage to make you laugh. Come on. Smile a little.
Loona sighed and smiled.
Blitzø: There ya go. See?
Loona: Heh. Whatever, I guess.
Meanwhile, Y/N was at a window, looking at the city.
Y/N: *sighs* So far, it's been pretty good. Blitzø doesn't seem like a bad person. Moxxie is... Well, he's difficult to get around. Millie, she seems like a reasonable gal to talk to. And Loona... *sighs* I don't think I'll ever get used to that. Honestly, she looks... beautiful. Although, it doesn't look like Loona's had much experience in friendship. ... Maybe... If she's up to it, I could offer her a hand. However, I don't think she's the kind of woman to engage in a conversation with anyone. If anything, she'd rather be on her phone and do her thing, which I respect. ... I don't know why I'm feeling like this. I've never felt like this before. Plus, she's a hellhound. Then again, I'm a hellhound, too. Well, part hellhound. Heh. Goddamnit, Loona. You're truly something else...
