A Killer Time

The Bird

Killer was in the office when Blitzo slammed in. He'd been doodling on the sleeping Moxxie's face, trying to keep himself entertained, but now as the imp yelped wake, he threw the marker, and Loona kicked it under the desks without giving him away. Millie followed Blitzo in only to stop herself from laughing at Moxxie's face and went to help him clean it off while Killer gave their boss his full attention. "We've got a job to do people! Stolas is leaving for some stupid, sacred Goetia thing, and we have to protect our ticket to Earth!" Loona smirked as she piped up. "You mean your boy toy?" Blitzo blushed and shook his head. "No! I meant what I said!" He sputtered out weakly. Killer didn't get it. "what's a goetia?" Killer asked as Loona offered a paper towel to wipe his face off with. "Ya really don't know nuthin', do ya?" Millie raised a curious brow while Killer tried to wipe the goop away. "He's just some important bird prince around here. That's all you need to know." Blitzo replied. "And my dad has been getting in his pants for quite some time," Loona snickered as Blitzo sputtered and marched to his office.

The van was the first Killer had ever been in. Millie had offered him a gun, but he declined. "i don't need that. i work better with close-range weapons." Killer summoned a knife two show to them while Loona hummed. "I've never seen demon magic like that before." Killer blinked. "i'm not a-" Blitzo threw open the doors. "Enough talking, bitches, we're here!" The town was small, but the magic Stolas gave off was huge. Killer knew immediately who they were guarding when he spotted the tall owl demon. What was with this dimension and furries? Stolas was Royal, he was Regal, and there was no way in Hell he wasn't getting dicked down by his boss. Hell, the moment the bird spotted Blitzo, he grew as excited as Horror did about food and ran his skinny ass over to talk to him specifically. Killer didn't ask and observed his surroundings instead. Loona chuckled as she observed with him. "I told ya." Killer didn't say anything. "You're not much of a romancer, are you?"
"can't be when you can't feel." Killer replied, leaving her wondering what that was supposed to mean.

The questions would have to wait, though. They had a royal prince to protect. Killer and the others moved to the shadows so the bird could do what he came here to do. It didn't take Killer long to pick up on someone or something stalking Stolas. Killer stuck to the shadows, following his training as he stalked the stalker. Teleported from corner to corner as he came closer to the target and just as the demon pulled its weapon, Killer struck, a knife burrowing deep into their back and making the demon cry out. He silenced them quickly by running another knife across their throat and dragging the body into the shadows. Killer watched for any more possible assassins, but this time the birdy was lucky. Anything else was taken care of by the others. No sooner did the princey do his thing, Blitzo disappeared with him to do stars knows what, leaving them alone in the rundown town. Millie instantly grabbed her husband's hand and the two made a mad dash to the hotel, leaving Killer and Loona alone. "..."
"Bar?" Loona suggested. "sure." Killer shrugged. "why not?" He followed the Hellhound to the local saloon.
