"Oh him! He's- he's not actually human he's......" Blitzo answered, darting his eyes between the demons.

"He's actually an imp! Just so happens that he likes humans alot, so he likes to...... wear his disguise......" Millie continued for Blitzo.

Striker glanced at Millie before looking at (y/n), who avoided eye contact with him.

He then nodded slowly, before commenting, "Interesting..... Well, to each their own!"

The demon then walked up to (y/n), offering his hand.

"Nice tah meet ya human lover, heh heh......" he told the boy, offering his hand.

Being the tallest person there, (Y/n) then looked down at him, and took his hand, shaking it.

"Nice to meet you too, Striker....." He responded awkwardly, softly smiling.

For a moment, Striker did not let go of shaking the boy's hand, and stared into his eyes, as if he was trying to look deep inside him.

His eyes made (y/n) uncomfortable, making him break the handshake.

"Ya know..... You boys should enter the pain games" Joe suggested.

"I heard 'games', what games? I'm in!" Blitzo replied, immediately feeling interested.

Lynn then stepped up and answered the imp with an excited grin, "Every harvest festival, there's a competition, to be the toughest, roughest, bastard in wrath!"

"Yeah, wish ah could play!" Millie stated, upset with the fact she wasn't allowed to.

Lynn walked up to her and laid a hand on her shoulder before replying, "Miiiillie, you know you get too carried away, the last competition you were in ended in fifthteen seperate funerals"

"I'm aware, but ah only caused nine of them! How come Sally May still gets to compete?" Millie argued, puffing her cheeks and crossing her arms.

"Your sister doesn't have a neighborhood head count......" Her mother answered.

"She so does!" Millie argued.

Her transgender sister then walked by while carrying a bag of body parts with one of her brothers dragging a body, teasingly adding to her question, "It doesn't count if they don't find the bodies~"

Millie then growled in annoyance, and her mother would try to comfort her, "Still, you get to root for her and your brothers, and now you can cheer on your boss!"

Moxxie then stepped in, laying a hand on Lynn's shoulder and commenting with a smile, "You know...... She can also cheer for me"

Joe then laughed and smacked his thigh, before asking in confusion, "Wait- you?"

"Yeah! I can compete, can't I?" Moxxie asked, before Millie's mother elboed his stomach, hurting him and almost making him cry.

"Sorry boy but I don't think sensitive thespian types would last very long in the games" Joe answered, as Moxxie walked up to him.

Feeling offended, he claimed, "I was born here too, I have some fight in me"

Striker then laid a hand on his shoulder, and spoke to the imp, "Huh...... Well then little fella, why don't ya help me wrangle one of them hogs for dinner?"

He then pointed with his thumb behind him, at a beastly hog.

"Pfft, this dumbass is gonna get himself killed" Loona commented, as she and (y/n) watched from a distance

"Pfft, this dumbass is gonna get himself killed" Loona commented, as she and (y/n) watched from a distance.

"That thing looks dangerous....." (Y/n) adds, concerned for Moxxie.

"Simple, watch me" Moxxie replied to Striker, as he reached for a firearm.

Striker then stepped up to him, interrupting what he was thinking of doing.

"Nah, with these" he tells him, before giving the imp a rope and dagger.

He then went on to explain, "Bullets can't pierce it's shell, ya gotta get the knife underneath them and pry urself an opening"

Moxxie gulped at the thought.

"Oh- right right...... I knew that" Moxxie responded awkwardly.

Blitzo then walked up to Moxxie, placing his hands on his shoulders and spoke to him, "Now just remember, your rep with the in laws is on the line here, so no pressure at all, you totally will not make an ass of yourself in front of everyone important in your life"

He then added, "Go gettem tiger" before shoving Moxxie to Millie.

"Oh......" Moxxie reacted, realizing what could happen in worry.

"Moxxie you don't need to do this!" Millie stated.

(Y/n) walking up to the two then added, "She's right Mox, don't try to do something you know you can't do, there's no shame in backing out of something too big for you....."

"Fuck that, kick it's ass Moxxie, yeaaaah!" Blitzo cheered.

Moxxie then grabbed the knife and held the rope with his other hand, entering the pen in which the demon hog was inside of.

Everyone watched as the imp walked to the hog.

"Be careful Moxxie....." (Y/n) quietly said, gritting his teeth in nervousness for the imp.

Loona would then grin and hold up her phone to record the moment.

Moxxie approached the hog, and positioned himself to jump, before jumping on to the beast and tieing the rope around its neck, tightening it.

He then raised the dagger in the air, and swung it down at it's hide.

But it bounced right off.

The hog then began to buck, as Moxxie struggled to hold on.

"Fuck yeah Moxxie! Ride it Moxxie!" Blitzo cheered.

"This is fuckin beautiful......" Loona comments, entertained by the scene.

"Hold on man! Don't let go!" (Y/n) shouted, encouraging the imp.

"You're doing great Moxxie!" Blitzo complimented, holding two thumbs up.

He then told Loona to "Send me that video later"

What felt like out of nowhere, Striker jumped on to the hog, and pushed Moxxie off, before taking the dagger and stabbing it into the hog's hide, killing it.

Trying to get up from the ground, Moxxie felt pain, commenting on it, "Ow- my clavicle......"

Striker picked up the beast and carried it on his shoulder.

He then walked up to Moxxie and said, "Don't worry little one, you never had a chance....." Offending the imp.

Loona stopped recording and (Y/n) walked to Moxxie, helping him from the ground.

"Hey man, you okay?" He asked.

Moxxie sighed and dusted himself off.

"Yeah yeah, I'm fine......" He answers.

"Hey, why don't you join the games too?" Joe asked the boy.

The boy then looked surprised, taken back by the question.

'Me? Join the pain games?' he thought.
