At the I.M.P office, we see multiple employees in the break room doing their own thing. Loona was asleep at one of the chairs and Moxxie and Blitz were watching some.... Low-res 3D penguin do a dance with Moxxie having an annoyed and bored expression.

Moxxie: Sir, can we please watch something else?

Blitz: Sh-Shh-Shhhhh, it's about to get to the good part. It's gonna be really good, trust me.

The smaller imp sighed at this, only to turn around to see Bendy fiddling with something behind the fridge.

Moxxie: Bendy, what are you doing back there?

Bendy: Oh, I uh... I think we might have a vermin problem in the office.

To prove his point, Bendy moved aside as he was setting up a mouse trap, using an olive on a toothpick as bait.

Moxxie: Vermin? How can you tell?

Bendy: My cheese that I put on my sandwich has been going missing from the fridge for the past 4 days.... *narrows eyes* Unless one of you took it....

Moxxie: Hey hey, I haven't seen your cheese anywhere, love. No idea-

Blitz: Ah fuck, you missed it!

Moxxie turned back around to face Blitz, who turned away from the TV.

Moxxie: What?

Blitz: The little penguin guy, he did a little wave at the camera. It was like a cool little wave, it was like... The entire reason I wanted to show it to you, but yeah. Iy was... It was just kind of cool.

Moxxie: Oh, well.... Okay.

Suddenly, Octavia came into the room, looking utterly exhausted as she poured herself a cup of coffee.

Blitz: Geez, Via. You look horrible.

Octavia: Well, thank you Sir. That truly helps with my self-esteem.

Moxxie: What seems to be the problem, Octavia?

Octavia: *sigh* It's just.... I'm worried about Barbie. She recently had gotten a new job and she's been away a lot and all I've been doing is pushing papers here in the office. I.... I don;t know what I need.

Blitz: Hmmm..... *snaps fingers* I know what you need! You need a change of scenery.

Octavia: Hm?

Moxxie: I think he means you need to do something different. Why not try doing proper assassin work?

The owl looked at the imps with confusion and pondered the thought, liking the sound of the idea.

Octavia: That wuld be nice, but all I have for weapon experience is knives. I'm not exactly the strongest of us.

Bendy: Well, I didn;t know I was good with a mallet before I died and look at me now. You just need to try out new weapons and see which one speaks out to you.

Blitz: Yeah, and there's no better place to practice than on the field. Come on, you're joining me and Mox to Earth to pull off some jobs today.

The taller imp reached over to grab the grimoire, along with a duffel bag of weapons. He reached inside, pulling out a metal baseball bat and handing it to the bird.

Blitz: Here, try this.

Octavia: Uh..... *takes bat* Okay?

As Blitz opened the book for the spell, Via practiced her swing with the bat, almost stumbling over. With a wave of his fingers, the portal to Earth opened, but suddenly, the bat hit Blitz in the back of his head, sending him to the floor and knocking him unconscious.
