Loona was playing on her phone in the office of IMP, listening to Moxxie bicker about her to Blitz, her adoptive father.
"She's useless! Usually when we get a target, you describe what they look like! We ended up killing the wrong man!" He yelled and Loona looked at him, shrugging.
"They didn't tell a description," She mumbled as Moxxie lost it.
"Or you were too drunk to hear him!" He yelled and she stood up, growling as Blitz intervened.
"You do not yell at Loonie like that! I don't complain about your sex life, so sit down and shut up!" He yelled and Moxxie stood up, his hands curled into fists as Millie tried to pull him down.
"Moxxie, calm down! He's our boss," She told him, trying to soothe him, but he was riled up.
"Don't you ever talk about our lives, you unskilled clown!" He yelled and Blitz itched for his gun.
"You're crossing the wrong path Moxxie," He warned and Loona had enough. She slammed her phone down and yelled.
"All of you shut the fuck up! I'm so sick of listening to you two bicker and complain about stupid shit! All of you go fuck off and stop arguing!" She yelled, storming out of the room. She slammed the door as she heard them quietly argue with each other. She went into the elevator and hit the ground floor, pulling out a cigarette. She lit it and walked outside, sitting on a bench in the cool night of hell. She was halfway down the cigarette when she heard a familiar voice.
"Is anyone sitting there?" The voice said and she froze, turning to look at Cain. He was a hellhound like her, except he had black fur and white spots all over his face. His eyes were red and he smiled, revealing a gold tooth. She quickly grabbed him and pulled him down an alleyway, away from the security camera. He was shocked and confused.
"Well, so much for being subtle," He said and she put out the cigarette, frantically yelling at him quietly.
"What are you doing here?! You know what would happen if Blitz finds you!" She hissed and he smiled.
"And miss the look on your face? I'm pretty sure I could handle him," He said and she sighed, peeking around the corner to see Blitz walk out the building, calling someone, probably Stolas.
"What's up-" He started when she clamped a hand over his muzzle, silencing him. Blitz walked past, talking to Stolas, void of the world and she pulled her hand away, sighing.
"Ok, what were you-" She started when he saw someone, so he kissed her, making her face go bright red as he stared at the alleyway. She heard arguing between Moxxie and Millie and she knew why he did that: those two don't like Cain. As soon as they were gone, he pulled away, peeking his head out of the alleyway, sighing in relief.
"That was close," he said, and she couldn't believe him. As he turned around, she spoke with a calmness that belied her frustration.
"You didn't answer my question!" she yelled, and he nodded, an acknowledgment that seemed to carry the weight of the world.
"Right. I've got an idea," he said, and she sighed, her breath a mix of dread and anticipation.
"Oh boy, here we go," she started, but he cut her off with a sigh that seemed to echo her own.
"Now, you won't like this part," he warned, handing her a note. She unfolded it to see a tour guide, and two words that stood out like a sore thumb:
HAZBIN HOTEL
"No, you're out of your mind," she said, the guide fluttering to the ground like a fallen leaf.
"Listen, Loona—" he began, but she was already on a tirade.
