Sometimes it is weird to write than just use the codes.

Sure, while they haven't been using the Codes besides a CHECK, or magic save points. Own version of a typing system they understood. It was still weird at that time to write. Whether it was in school, exploring space, taking down music and so on. You think it shouldn't shock them so much. But it just does for Moxxie.

Rarely wrote even as a destroyer. Wasn't deem to have such fun accessories as they had a job to do. The sewing they couldn't take away besides talk and insult them down. Which heavily affected them over periods of time to not do it. Didn't deserve to make just destroy.

Well, middle finger to them.

They very much like what they do. No, love it. Explore and do things they never expect to like. To do what they want. Very happy, contempt on their choices on what they want to do.

They should go back to playing their violin again soon. It's been a while after all. Shooting too but back in Wrath. Even just simple can targets. Then get to rip the weapon apart and clean it up. So, there are many things to keep them occupied. But try not to let it get in the way of having freedom.

Well, right now I can't be free to finish writing in their journal in space. Why?

Striker is a possessive snake.

Moxxie sweat dropped as they feel Striker hold won't stop tightening up from the smallest movement they do. Even from just their tail move slightly. Or let out a small breath. The low hisses coming out randomly as their head stay on top of their own. Tail rattling in irritation and look like it wants to smack something. Well, someone.

Let's just say Striker saw Moxxie come out of Stolas car.

At least Striker didn't jump out in the open.

Well, he could have if it wasn't for Octavia when she came outside. Very happy to see them but very much confused why they were together. Just told her they were meeting another at the same place and surprised the both of them. Then offered Moxxie ride back to the ring. Questions about the box that they avoided. Small talk was enough to satisfy her a bit. Then Stolas, Moxxie went into Stolas office with a twitching Striker waiting there.

Striker was hissing crazily as they held Moxxie while Stolas twitch in irritation. Striker heard the conversation so he didn't need to repeat it. Got a horn tug from Moxxie to stop it. The assassin grumbled and glared seeing Stolas smirk.

It was ridiculous as the two acted like children.

The pair left after Moxxie open a portal back to the apartment with them and the box. A thank you to Stolas and will get back with him about the gift talk.

Now here they are currently with Striker being clingy and not letting go. "Rattles. Your shaking is making it hard for me to write."

A low grumble but able to settle down a bit. Still not letting go. "How the talk go?"

"It went all right."

"The box?" It was now in their work room.

"Haven't look through everything. Not in a rush."

"We're you uncomfortable around her?"

"No, but I still don't like the ring. She does her thing and her husband does his own."  

"So, she married to that lawyer." Striker muttered as he put the pieces together.

"Yeah. Know, anything about him?" Flip a page.

"With or without the bad mouthing who he getting the paycheck from?"

"You want to go there from your past clients?"

Didn't need to look down to see the look. "Touche. All I know is that he and folks down the line usually had jobs that interacted with nobles. Vicious in the court."

Moxxie mind went back from a few hours ago. "He was like a puppy around her."

Striker snorted a bit. Relax further as he leans back onto the couch. Arms stop holding Moxxie but kept them on his lap. Finger tips tracing the side. "If she knows how to handle herself around others. Should be fine. Besides maybe threats."

"I think if your life in Greed that a normal."

"Same with ours too." Glance at the ceiling.

"How was your day today?" Flip pages as they go through notes.

"Could have gone by faster. Ready to just take my gun apart and put it back together."

"So, no action."

"Boring babysitting job. Couldn't even terrify anyone."

"Mhmm." Leans forward to put the book down. Then they moved their body around to stare at him. "You need to relax."

"Says the one who was teasing me." Acting very casual right now. Like nothing just happens.

"I just casually put my book down. You're the one who put me on your lap." Poke his chest. "Plus, you know what I'm talking about."

"I didn't hear you complain and could have moved anything. Instead, just bend forward giving me a nice few and now straddling me." Poke their freckle cheek. Smirk at the glare but it was the pout.

"You need a shower."

"Great idea." Stood up while holding them up. He began to walk to their bedroom. "Let's take one together to get that filth off you."

"You're the smelly one not me." Roll their eyes as their arms stayed wrapped around their neck. Both of them entered the bathroom.

"You're worse than me when it taking a bath," Nip their horn. "I don't see you stopping me."

"Hey I got enough bite marks!" Hiss at him.

"From this angle I think extra here and there is in order."

The tail closed the door behind them.

"Fizz that's the dumbest shit I heard you say at least this week."

"Says you."

"I think of amazing dumb shit that benefits me." Blitz sitting on the couch as he eats a sandwich. On the phone with Fizz. The two are just chilling and doing their own shit right now as they talk with each other. Loona was in her room and probably has her headphones on to not listen to them talk. Not at Esme tonight.

Fizz can be heard moving around in the background. He was messing with make-up products for fun. "I think your business needs a medic, or a therapist, not another pet friend for your eels."

"Ehh we got that covered and I'm not paying for a therapist. They can do that on their free time." Wave it off.

"Stolas doesn't count for free health spells. Even if he will be there in a few seconds if you make a call."

"Ha Ha." Roll their eyes. I mean sure can think of a few times he appeared fast. In different situations but hey he did arrive, "It's like you don't know me. I got other ways too."

"An unlicensed comrade who sells drugs under the table?"

"No, and that asshole died years ago. Never got my cut back. Selfish jerk." Throw the rest of his sandwich in the air and caught it with his mouth. Munches very loudly.

"Eat with your mouth closed. I can just feel it being spit out on the other side here."

"Bitch your worse than me."

"I make it look hot!"

"Boil any water on fire lately?"

"Fuck you."

"That's why you got the big Kaiju cock for that." Snicker at that groan.

"Can't believe you remember that shit."

Flip the channels. "Ehh a lot of shit happened that day that is hard to forget. Well, besides the unimportant stuff."

"Very true," Pat some makeup on, his fly dogs all around and just playing. "Say ever heard any shit with that mob?"

It has been a few months when that event happened.

"If you mean death threats no. At least not anymore. Guess they got their own bootleg junk to deal with and lay low. I'm surprised your man hasn't gone down to hunt them." Which he is all fine with that. Less of a headache off their back. If they do run into each other again they can't say for sure what will happen. Besides, well have a gun ready for bloodshed.

"Eh as much they're on Ozzie shit list. He can't do anything since they're in that ring. Unless they come here. Then that a whole other story." But they sent that lawyer of theirs back as a warning. Still on Ozzie shit list. To hunt them down in Mammon is risky unless under the radar. Or hire someone to go deal with it or kidnapped them to bring to the Lust ring. By the way all the rings done before from serious incidents or pettiness. Or in the Mafia case to dare blackmail a sin.

That was risky in itself.

While everyone fears sins. The sins got to, to some degree, respect the other ring rule they don't run. It a pain in the ass but it is what it is. Plus, those two sins are still not on the best of terms. Only interacting by phones or meetings if the other there. There could be other ways but those two wouldn't make those kinds of deals to exchange one for the other. Especially now since Fizzarolli quit.

So, just brushed it under the rug for now. Besides not the first time anyone has tried to kidnapped Fizzarolli. The Mafia just succeeded a bit further compared to anyone else. Now there are extra targets on the former jester head after the reveal in the concert.

"So, much for authority."

"That politics and royalty. Besides Ozzies got other stuff to deal with then some pins trip Imp and his squad of ruffians."

"Yeah, not on my number 1 to give a shit list." Settle on a channel finally.

"Hey um another question."

"Shoot away."

"Have you found your sister?"

Blitz stared at the TV for a few seconds, "She doesn't want any shit to do with me. So, I'm doing just that."

Even if it does hurt. Still hoping for that small reconnection and just trying to talk again. Hope she is safe. Hope she really isn't back on those drugs again. Want her back into this new family he was able to make.

But that will never happen as his twins have every right to hate him. Hell, he still has a huge load of self-hate at himself from so many incidents he has done. The pile of mistakes that follows him around. Could have fixed it. Or just open up. Yet, he is trying to fix himself a little bit even if it is just teeny tiny steps. I mean he and Fizz are fixing each other even after the pair learn there were a lot of miscommunications and talk behind their backs to not see the other. Both are still trying to put some clues together but have strong ideas about who could have done it.

It was progress. One he never thought would ever be patched up.

"I could talk to her you know?"

"Do you know where she is?"

"No, but Ozzie could help out in a snap. Same with kid friendship to the party Bee. Hey, I bet your owl man can too."

"Pass on all three options." Stare at the TV a little longer. "Besides she probably will think I trick you or something. Just remind me what I did to you."

"Which that is our shit to deal with not her own. You two got your own self-issues that separate to my own." A heavy sigh. "I won't look but if I hear something. Do you at least want to know?"

A short debate in his head. "If it is life threatening or possibly need to go back. Fine."

"Okie dokie."

Blitz reaches up to touch the charm. The tips of his claws brush it carefully.

"You don't deserve to have that."

"Blitz?"

"Huh? What?"

"You good you zone out."

"Yeah, yeah just focusing on my show."

"Let me guess. Horses."

"Damn right and guess what."

"What?"

"Pirate horse episode."

"I'm going to hang-up now."

"Boo you're boring!"

"Keep your pirate shit to yourself!"

"Why are you complaining? You got the best booty in all the rings."

"I do not want to agree with you even though you're right."

"Ha! Ha! Booty!"

Fizzarolli screaming and curses out Blitz on the other line.
