Error/Moxxie speaking

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Baaa!"

"Baaa!"

"Baa!"

"Why do I hear sheep?"

"I'm at a sheep farm." Moxxie lied smoothly over the phone. He was talking with Verosika. Took a small break and relaxing with the space animals. Along with some sewing time.

"Why the heck are you at sheep farm?"

"I don't asked what you do during your free time."

"Fine keep your dirty secrets."

"I gladly will." Use his tail to pick up a fluff ball as it try eat the outfit. "So, did you need something?"

"Actually I just found out some change of plans on my schedule. I have to perform at Ozzies tomorrow."

"Okay?"

"Okay! It's one of the biggest hits to perform there in Lust."

"Congrats?"

"Seriously how you survive this long to know what cool or not."

"I don't care and stay mostly focus on the stuff I like, unless I drag into a situation."

"That very specific but anyway. So, I was wondering if you can do me a tiny little favor."

"Your outfit already done and I'm not adding anything to it."

"Not that but your so cruel."

"Yes, I am. Now what?"

"Can you come to Ozzies that night to drop off the outfit?"

"Verosika-"

"Look I'm not giving you away as Flaw! I just literally have no time to go over and grab it. Heck, I'm using my bathroom break right now to talk to you. Ill tell the workers I have someone coming by to drop the outfit, a drink will be on me and you'll be set!"

Moxxie let out a small sigh and rub his face. Small debate in his head. "Alright fine after work."

"You are the best little cute imp ever."

"Keep it up so I can gag."

"I'll send you the intel later. Don't be late!"

"Later." Rolled his eyes as he ends the phone call. He glance at the puff ball nibbling his hoof. Lift his hoof up as the little one holds on till force to let go. But Moxxie tail caught them and lay them down. Lean against a tree and was silent. Let out a small groan. "Want to take over my position?"

"Baaaa!" A little tail wag and nudge their arm.

The thespian snort and went back to work. Well, he has nothing plan tomorrow night since it was end of a work week. Could bring it with him to work and then head to the Lust Ring. Should be easy enough.

"What?"

"Keep it down." Moxxie whispered and look at Striker in confusion as the pair of them in trees.

"Did you hear that?" A lumberjack look around in confusion.

"Nope!" Another Lumberjack replied cutting down a tree.

"You're going to Ozzies."

"Not for fun." Moxxie messed with the scope of his sniper. Glance to see Blitzo and Millie hidden together. "Verosika scheduling got rearranged and performing there. So, she doesn't have time to get it."

"But its Ozzies."

"I keep hearing that."

"Seriously you had social media longer than me. How do you not know about the place?"

"Lack of caring and paying attention."

"Sadly true." Roll his eyes and glared down below. Eyes glowed ready to strike down below. "Why don't you use that fancy card too why don't you."

Oh, yeah Blitzo saw that card. All they were surprised about it. Kind of not told Blitzo that where Fizz work. Just so he won't destroy it.

That'll bite him in the ass later.

"Its work not fun going out. Wait? Why does it matter? Not like I'll ever use it."

"Really? You are never going to use it."

"Correct."

"Not if you were about to be asked out."

"The chances of me being asked out is five percent."

"Five percent?"

"Yes."

"So, I'm in that five percent when it was our non prom day."

"Yes. Wait no? No, hold on that wasn't a date."

"Hmm. You sure."

"Last time I checked it wasn't. Just us hanging out." Twitch seeing Blitzo ducking into a pile of bushes. Not so secretly.

"Yes, getting dress nice, hanging out in the bar, me singing, and the dancing. Sure hanging out Critter." Then click the hammer of his revolver. "Why don't we go on a real date then?"

BAM!

"JIM! JIM DEAD!"

"JIM DEAD?"

"JIM DEAD!"

"NO, JIM!"

"FUCK JIM!" Blitzo springs out of the bushes and began to shoot. Millie follows along laughing as she raise an axe in the air and jumps one of the screaming Lumberjacks.

"Come along Critter." Striker jumps down and began to shoot another one. Laughs as they try to fight them back.

Moxxie still in the tree stunned.

Striker asked him out?

No, no. He must have missed heard him. That's it missed heard and got him distracted. Right?

"Moxxie get your small dick ass down here! You're missing the fun!" Blitzo on one of men back and began to choke them.

Questions and thoughts for later. Got a job to do.

Jumps down from the tree and help.

These Lumberjacks defiantly knew how to put up a fight. Which rose three and the four Imps blood lust up the roof.

"TIMBER!"

Great timing as the portal open up.

Loona not going to clean up the tree and the severed head that just rolled in the office.

Moxxie came out the tree holding a chainsaw. He ran out of bullets.

Blitzo walking in proudly kicking "Woo, that was a fuck ton of lumberjacks!"

Millie crawls across the floor like a crab, with an axe between her teeth. Breaks the axe next. "I'm still so jazzed up!!"

Striker stroll in covered in blood and using his dagger to pull some flesh out of his mouth. "Fun bunch they were!"

The portal closed behind now they have tree in the office.

"Okay everyone lets close it up and head to that new bar down the street! Don't say shit to Bloody!" Blitzo  points at all of them.

"Can't sir." Moxxie goes to the closet and pull out the clothes bag he brought the morning. Along with tags that said. 'Blitzo Don't Touch'. 'Loona not yours.' 'I don't care if you and Verosika still hate each other guts don't touch it Blitzo!' Even has a small lock on the zipper. "I'm going to Ozzies."

"What! You said you're dumping in off to her!"

"At Ozzies and I need to go now. Maybe next time."

"Wait. Why don't we all go together? The fiv-"

"I'm going partying with Tex."

"Four of us-Wait? WHAT!"

"Can't even if I wanted too. It's mostly bushiness sir."

"But Moxxie!"

"Come on Blitz let him go." Millie sweat dropped seeing Moxxie twitch as their boss was holding on to his leg.

"I need to go!" Moxxie slipped away and then rush off with the outfit. Got to the elevator and relax a little. Mind cross at the question of what Striker told him. Shakes his head a little. Stop it! He just messing with you. That's it.

He didn't realize the card slipped out from Fizz and it land on Blitzo face. He blinked and stared at it. Then slowly the wheels turn as the boss began smile very big.

"Haha! We're going to Ozzie you two." Blitzo smirked and look at the pair. Drop seeing their unimpressed look. "What?"

"Blitz maybe we should let Mox work."

"Doesn't that belong to them?"

"Millie their going to Lust! Those leeches will swarming him like a virgin mudslide."

"Were going."

"That's the spirit!

"But just the three of us to enter?"

"Well yeah."

"Those the card say that?"

"Oh will you two calm your tits! We just showed the card and-"

"Isn't that place book for couples?"

The three were silent.

Then Blitzo snapped his fingers together. "I got idea. Just meet back at the elevator in an hour! Get dress nicely like you want them to have sex with you. But you're too good to even think about doing it!"

"Moxxie wore his normal outfit."

"Moxxie is Moxxie! Elevator in an hour. I'll take care of the rest." He look disgustingly hurt when he said that.

The small weapon expert Imp had a small shudder as he was looking at his phone. Was he getting a cold? He doesn't think so? He shrugged and pull his scarf up a bit.

"How I look?"

Moxxie glance over to see Verosika in the outfit. Black long sleeve midriff top that sparkles with two big white X on her breast. A black and white micro skirt with a white heart in the middle. A pair of long white thigh-high boot with black strip designs. Hearts are at the center of the boots. She was striking a confident pose. He gives her a thumbs up.

"Aww so sweet why not words instead." She purred.

"You look like a popstar cheerleader everyone would envy and try to send someone to kill you."

The popstar stares and laughed as she walk to the mirror. "Well that a compliment right there."

Moxxie shrug and looks back at his phone.

"So, any knew trend you going to tease soon?" Verosika applying some mascara.

"Thinking like steampunk."

"Hmm a little nerdy but do have some nice clothes style. So, a follower suggested it or you?"

"Not really. Should find his profile. Some cobra tux sinner guy and little walking eggs in suits." Saw him on the street fighting some one eye rocker girl. Got to give him credit for trying.

"Well, hit me when you get dates ready. Will, be touring soon back in the human world."

"You just want to pick something before Ivy."

"She the real competition." Verosika snarled. Blitz was one this as that imp is confident and doesn't mind showing off. Same with her! All them really but that plant sinner knew how to gain the right attention. She read the comments and saw the side polls!

"Uh huh sure." Moxxie not fazed by it.

Versokia soon finished up by putting her hair in a ponytail and grabbed her fur coat. "Alright sexy me done."

"I can head off-"

"Oh no. I promise you a drink. Plus, can see me perform."

"What's my choices?"

"Get a drink and watch. Or go out there dark with hungry leeches all over you."

He thinks it over and mentally sigh. "A hour."

Verosika giggles and then drop. "What's with the mask?"

"I actually wore it when I got in here-Why are you filming me?"

"Your cute?"

"Im just taking off my jacket! Delete that before I make you pose with the Blitz!"

"You're wearing a damn hoodie! Put this hat on!"

"HISSS!"

"YOU CHEEKY LITTLE- "

Elsewhere

"Blitzy who you looking for?"

"I'm looking at nothing. How about that?"

"Blitz put those away."

"I'm looking."

"Look at the stupid menu."

"Says the one hiding behind it."

Striker flips him off while looking at the menu. Angry to even be here. Sure wouldn't have mind at first to find the Critter. Till Blitzo brought the damn Goetia. Now it's the four of them together at a table.

Striker didn't over dress himself. Just wore a long sleeve button down blood red shirt with the sleeves rolled up a bit, dark grey vest, pair of gloves, and dark ripped jeans. Force to leave his hat and bandana behind. Didn't mess with his hair too much.

Millie dress very cutely in an off the shoulder dress. In the center of the dress. There was a heart shaped opening to see her belly button. A choker. Hair style nicely.

Blitzo wearing a red shirt, leather spike jacket, and black jeans. Still wore his boots and fingerless gloves.

Stolas out dress all of them. A blue tunic with the sleeves going all the way down. A white cravat that was cooling out. White breeches. His feathered head style back. Last time, they check he didn't have that gray highlight in there. But it was hos flowy cape with the inside of stars sparkling and moving inside was the real kicker.

Show off.

"Can I get you four off-I mean, start you off with some drinks?" The imp waitress look at the three of them.

"Whiskey." Not that phased what she said. Striker just wants to leave. For, all they know Moxxie could have left. Now stuck with the damn Blueblood, who they see enough at work, who was sitting right by him. Who thinks this a date. Double date. Going to get something in his blood stream to deal with this.

"Um I'll have a Cosmo." Millie answer next. She was a little giddy to be hear. Ozzies was a hard place to make reservations. But the reason why she has mix reasons about it. Plus, her and Striker had to pretend to be the other 'couple'. Might be lucky to see Moxxie here and give him back his card.

"Um," Stolas looking at the menu, "perhaps some wine to share; do you prefer red wine or white, Blitzo? Or perhaps some champagne?"

"Yeah, whatever." Haven't look back at him still searching. Let out a hissed when his chair was hit. Look back and see Millie giving him an unimpressed look. He grumble and sit back down before the woman does something worse to make him pay attention.

"You know what why not all three of them." Stolas chuckles nervously and hands the menu back. "So, how are the three of you? What you do today?"

"We killed some lumberjacks." Millies answered him as Blitz didn't immediate.

"That sounds fun! How did you kill them?"

"Axe."

"Guns and dagger."

"Bullets. There were um lots of them." Blitzo rubs the back of his skull.

This was so akward for the three of them.

"So, um where Moxxie?"

"Somewhere here. Maybe."

"Oh?"

"Apparently the popbitch is singing here."

"Isn't that her over there?"

"What?!"

The three turn at the direction Stolas was pointing out. Indeed, there was Verosika standing. at the bar. Wait? Wacko here too? How many jobs does he have? Some a imp wearing a hat with their back turn while another one passed out.

"She might know where he i-"

Music began to start playing. The lights going down. Son see several gorgeous hellborn dancers coming out of the ceiling holding on to poles.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I see some sexy faces around here tonight!" Fizzarolli himself descends from the center stage. In familiar jester clothing. "Welcome, welcome, to Ozzie's: Lust ring's number 1 place for all kinds of sick twisted fantasies. Put on display for all you 'Sleaze' and 'Sleazettes'. The gin joint of Asmodeus himself! C'mon, give him some LOVE!"

"Did he just say 'Asmodeus'?" Stolas asked and slightly worry.

"Shit." Striker hissed and tail wagged unhappily. Is the Prince of Lust actually here too!

"Oh, no fucking way. Not HIM!" Blitzo hides behind a menu and couldn't believe how unlucky they are at the moment.

"Blitz you know him?" Millie asked him.

"Long story I rather not get into." Blitzo ready to hide under the table.

"I am the one and only Fizzarolli! Some of you may recognize this dashing clown face from my numerous toy-biotic replicas across the rings of Hell. Gloriously designed by the big man himself and uh," He rolls up a sleeve, revealing a cybernetic arm and giggles,", ribbed for your pleasure tonight. We have a great lineup for you tonight: Verosika Mayday, Wet Dreams and the Squirtez!"

Everyone looks to see Verosika at the bar. Moxxie quickly turn his back to not be scene. Verosika eyes shiftly look around and quickly shoves aside Wally Wackford as he tried to give her a drink. Verosika started to pose and wave to the paparazzi. Along with Wet Dreams and Squirterz. Some point Fizzarolli grab a drink from his extended arms till he puts it back.

"But as everyone's warming up, I got a funny one for y'all: did any of you hear about the bat-shittery that happened at Loo Loo Land?"

The audience began to laughs.

"Ha ha ha, oh yeah, oh wow. I'll tell you what: I'd sure love to shake the hand of the crazy son of a bitch who decided to burn down that off brand shithole and then slap a fat subpoena in it, 'cause I am VERY MUCH looking to sue!"

Blitzo, Millie and Stolas look away. Striker blinked at the three.

Moxxie head down lower and move the hat as well. Had his long sleeve shirt unbutton to see the black under shirt. Slightly annoyed to not have his scarf and jacket on. Well, that was on him. Put them away easily in his inventory when Verosika wasn't looking. He moves the mouth piece of his mask to take a sip of his drink.

"Not only had we lost a dragon we still can't find. But robo me was destroyed. That robo me made us more money entertaining those kids than the ones we sell to get you freaks off, if you know what I mean. "

"Oh, I know what you mean! I have four of them!" Random patron with a group that was different a Fizzarolli fan club.

"Okay, keep that guy FAR away from me." Fizz spoke into his separate microphone and back to the audience." SO, without wasting any more time, our little opening act that we like to do occasionally! Maybe find talented asshole or embarrassed he poor fucker! But hey it's all for the show! We are going to randomly pick one you with our lightshow! Start picking!"

Moxxie took a long sip staring at Wally. "So, you sure their alcohol in this?"

"Yep!" Wally grinned and make Verosika drink again. "Good chocolate martini!"

"Have fun with tha-What with that look?" Stares at Wally who smiling big at him. Turn and see Verosika gapping now at him. What he do? Put the piece back over his mask.

"Hey you lucky one in the back! Come on up!"

What?

Turn and eyes widen now noticing the light on him. Along with many eyes at him.

"Huh!? Well, well step on up you mask lucky contestant!" Fizzarolli calling out to Moxxie.

Moxxie twitch when his long robotic grab him and force himself over to the stage. Now standing by Fizz and glared at him. At least he hopes he sense it. He whispered to hide his voice. "I'm not doing this!"

"Too late unless you want to upset the big man here."

"And?"

"Were you paying attention at all" Fizz hissed at all.

"Not really."

"Ouchie. Look just play something small or do some act."

Rolls his eyes. "Sure, you got a violin?"

Fizz arms grab a violin out of know where.

"I was joking."

"Then that can be your next act. Just don't embarrassed me or else will make you wear that mask permeant." Fizz then grins at the audience and voice loud." Everyone give it up for um got a stage name?

"Nope."

"Make up something before I do."

"Strings."

"Strings! Wait? Seriously. No, what sure go ahead! Make it everyone night Strings!"

Moxxie twitch as he watches him laugh and move off the stage. Look out front as everyone watches him. Remembers a song he things he played before. Began to mess with the violin to get in tune

"Uh hurry up, Bullet, and uh play masky I say, I say!"

I'm taking my tip back Wally. Moxxie twitch and took a deep breath.

"Oh shit." Striker whispered and eyes widen. All them staring at this hellborn on the stage. Just wearing a black full-face mask. Some red and blue designs around the eyes.

"What?" Blitz whispered.

"That's Critter?"

"Wait? Are you sure?" Millie whispered and looking at the stage the best she can.

"Yes."

"How?"

"He wearing the star." Point at the star charm Moxxie always have at the side of his choker. "Plus, he called himself strings and has the wraps around his tail."

"I-You know what your right. Only he would pick such simple words for nickname."

"Oh, I can't wait to hear him play." Stolas look a bit excited now.

"Strings can do it." Millie grinned since she knows along with a few others how talented he is on the violin.

Okay just play like you are playing for the ones you can stand and like. Moxxie took a small breath.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Everyone was taken back as they listen to the music being played. Along with some light foot work dancing to the song.  It was quite unbelievable!

Striker smirked and enjoying the tune. Him being one of the few at the beginning to watch Moxxie learn how to use instruments. Sure, he may have started to play the guitar when the two were competing against each other. He doesn't care the Critter was six at the time! The smartass had it coming! Still, it made him enjoy the music life in a way as well. Own little talent on the side. But Moxxie was the true one. Hopefully, to still listen in the future.

Millie bouncing and began to clap at certain parts like you want to join! Even a few of the audience members began to join along to clap at the tempo. She always like it when he played this kind of music. Any of his music really but she likes the tempo to this. You just wanted to move around and dance away!

Stolas moving his head around and feeling less nervous. My, my little Moxxie filled with surprises! Oh, he defiantly needs to bring him to space. Puppet would enjoy having instrumental friend. (Such, an oblivious and dense owl we love.)

Blitzo tap his fingers wearily on the table. Eyes looking at the direction were Fizzarolli was at. Look he has nothing against the song. Not his favorite genre but can get use to it. But he hopes he finished soon so they can leave. He didn't want to be here much longer.

Where the heck he learns to play?! Verosika gapped and watching the stage. Sure, they talked about some music. Moxxie apparently likes a lot of musical, instrumentals and surprisingly flamenco. But is open minded to other music. Listen to her music and even would play it in the background when they did some photo shoots. But this! Anyone would kill to have someone with the talent to work with! Could he do other instruments too? What he made his own music? Damn you Blitzo for getting them first!

Fizzarolli gapped and eyes widen in shock. What the heck? They were good! No, they were excellent! Well, Strings now having a better ring to it now. Sure, they don't do a lot of instrumental solo numbers unless singing. But could change it. Glance and see 'Ozzie' eyes closed. But was slowly moving to the beat as left hand make a motion to tune.

Oh, he defiantly likes it.

Plus, he can see mask adds a mysterious charm.

Moxxie finished up and swings the bow a little. Then he turns around. Back away from everyone. Silence. Okay. Either dislike it or silently hate it.

Then a loud cheer and claps around.

Or actually like him?

Turn around a see those at their tables clapping, cheering and even standing up. Even a lot of the staff stop to clap for him. He glances and almost wanted to stumble when he saw his crew and Stolas at a table. Why were they here!?

Soon began to slowly panic as his anxiety began to come up. Oh, come not now! Just get off the stage and leave. You defiantly stayed t long up here! Ready to go run to the backstage. Till he was pulled to the side by a very happy Fizzarolli.

"Well, well guest our mysterious guest defiantly knew how to play those Strings! Even the Big Man himself enjoyed our little companion here! Who knows everyone! You might get to see them again play some lovely, fun tunes next week!"

WHAT?!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

What you all think?

Will Moxxie/Error aka String be able to get out of this?

Will Striker ask him again?

Will our dense lovable owl dad ever put two and two together?

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
