-Weeks Later-

We open up with a view of the city before slowly moving into the Immediate Murder Professional building.

Car horns and people yelling are heard within the city. The scene transitions into a closed door with a sign that reads, "Meeting in Progress". Inside, Blitzø is walking by a whiteboard while lecturing his employees.

Blitzø:"Alright, now I know business has been.. a bit slow lately, yes. It's no one's fault, okay? I'm not naming any names here... *looks at Moxxie* Moxxie."

Moxxie gives him an incredulous look in response.

Blitzø:"Now, does anyone have... any bright ideas on how we can get business drummin' up again?"

Max:"How about we film ourselves killing people, so they know the service we provide for them?"

Blitzø:"Good idea, but I think people would perceive us as fake or not a good company to help seek revenge for them. They would think we edit ourselves killing people."

Max:"Damn.."

Millie:"*eyes sparkling* What about a car wash?"

Blitzø:"This is Hell, Millie. No one cares about cars being clean here, okay? *thinks for a second* Wh- Ooh! What about a billboard?"

He waves his hands with an enthusiastic flair as sparkles fly out.

Moxxie:"*rolls eyes* We can't afford a billboard, sir."

Blitzø:" *wraps his arm over Moxxie's shoulder* Helpful, Moxxie. Really glad you're in the room right now. *pushes Moxxie away* Have you guys forgotten what service we provide?"

Blitzo turns on a TV that shows the I.M.P. crew brutally murdering people from the overworld as they are paid to do.

Blitzo whacks a man in the face with a mallet, Moxxie is blown away firing a shotgun through the mouth of a man tied to a chair, Loona swings a man back and forth in her mouth, Max splits a man in half with his hands going through his back and out his chest, and Millie decapitates someone with a harpoon and laughs.

It, now shows everyone watching the TV, with Loona, Max, Millie, and Blitzo eating popcorn.

Blitzø:"Ahh, those were the good times."

Moxxie:" I don't need any reminding, sir. Considering you blew most of our salaries on an obnoxious TV ad last week. One that you then additionally paid to have run for a full three hours on a channel... nobody watches."

Blitzø:"Uh, hey. Excuse me? What's "obnoxious" about a super-fun jingle, alright? It's a fun distraction when an advertisement's spittin' bullshit!"

Millie:"People love musicals, sir."

Blitzø:"Exactly, Millie! And we're basically doin' a musical. *does jazz hands* Are you gonna crush my musical theatre dreams like my dad did?"

Moxxie:"Sir—

Max and Loona both chuckle while watching the conversation unfold in front of them.

Blitzø:"'Cause, right now? All I see is just my dad's asshole talking to me! Crushing my dreams of being who I truly am inside."

Millie:"Are you tryin' to crush his dreams, Moxxie?"

Moxxie:"I-- What?"

Millie:"*flirtatiously* I thought I knew you."

She playfully sticks her tongue out at him as Moxxie blushes and rolls his eyes affectionately.

Blitzø:" I can't believe you, Moxxie!"
