10 Years Ago

I smile brightly with my legs crossed on Vias bed as Dad tells us a story, "In the great expanse of the nether there exists boundless amounts of magnificent phenomenon the great brilliance of an exploding star, the nimble dance of space dust through a nebula but once every one thousand years our corner of reality is treated to an incredible sight from the deep eldritch recesses of the cosmos the tears of a forgotten colossus begin to fall, Tears made of the hopes and dreams of every living thing that never came to be. Condensed and sent shooting across the night sky in a dazzling final display. What appears to mortal beings as a meteor shower we can see for what it is: Azathoth's Tears." 

 Octavia giggles happily, "Daddy, can we go see it someday?" I nod along excitedly in my star pajamas, as Dad smiles, "Yes, dears. I promise, when the day comes nothing will be able to keep me from being there with you. Good night, my Owlettes." I run over to my bed and smile yelling, "Goodnight!" I look at the ceiling smiling happily.

TODAY

 I lay in bed smiling as Via shakes me awake looking very happy, last night was the first night I've voluntarily stayed at Dad's house since Mum moved out last week. Octavia jumps up and down and says, "Today's the Day!" 

I look over at the calendar and see that she's circled a drawing on a calendar of our faces, Dad's face, and a meteor shower. The Starfall is "today".  Octavia bounds excitedly as I get dressed and we walk into the kitchen.

"Hey, dad!" Octavia says happily, she looks in her kitchen and around the manor, but he isn't there. We see an open foyer door, we hear Dad's voice coming through it.

 "Yes, I know!" Dad yells as we walk outside, he is out front on the phone with , squeezing a servant in his other hand. Imps are loading items into a van. "It will be there, shortly, Of course they're being careful!' I almost get hit by a couch as Via rushes forward towards Dad, "Dad, what's going on?"

Dad looks very angry as he holds the phone  "Apparently, your mother can't exist somewhere for two minutes without the entirety of her possessions--" Mum is yelling something incomprehensibly in response through the phone as he speaks,

 "What? No! I'm not turning her against you-- Yes, Stella!" Dad says holding the phone, "--never have to see your fucking face again!" Octavia looks down and says softly, "Dad," As mum still yells incomprehensibly Via continues, "This is going to be done before tonight, right?" 

Dad looks at Via and says, "What? Oh. I hardly think so. Knowing your mother, this will take all weekend." Dad turns to the imps loading the van, "Don't be gentle about it, now! Break whatever you have to to get it all in there." Mum's angry voice sounds through the phone, "What?! What did you just tell them to do?!"

Octavia starts talking again as I feel slightly bad for her, "But, tonight was supposed to-" Dad takes a deep sigh, "Darling, can we not talk about this now? Your mother's being a real B-I-T-C-H." Mum's loud high pitched voice screams through the phone again, "The fuck do you mean-" 

Well, how was I supposed to know you can spell?! I've never seen you read!" Dad yells at Mum who retorts back, "I'm going to take everything! Everything you own!" I look over at Via who is already gone storming away. 

I walk up the hallway to my room as Via storms off alone angrily, I know how long she has been waiting for today. Deep down I'm even a little sad.

BLITZO'S POV

Another calendar with a circled date of the 20th with the words "Have The Talk" in the background you can see the words "Have the talk" scribbled out on the 11th, 12th, 15th, 18th, and 19th.

The 13th has a drawing of a horse and is labeled "Riding Lessons" and the 14th has a drawing of the moon, a squirting dick, and is labeled as "Stolas??". There's a sound of crashing and the calendar zooms out, showing that it is Verosika , with a post-it note of a drawing of Blitz's face slapped over hers. It zooms further out as knives fly past and Blitzo looking nervous.

"honey, wait just a-- shit!" Blitzo says as Loona runs forward looking pissed, "Loonie, please, can we talk--" Loona throws the offices empty water dispenser and it hits Blitzo in the face, "FUCK! Uh, I mean, wow! Good throw, honey! I-I'm so proud of youuuuu!" Loona pounces and tackles him as she grabs a picture off the wall and beats him with it.

Millie walks past to the couch where Moxxie is sitting she sits on his lap and they drink coffee from there matching mugs, "What's this all about, honey?" Millie asks curiously and Moxxie replies with, "Ah, oh! Blitzo finally talked to her about her attitude with clients." 

Blitzo grabs the couch they're sitting on and pulls it forwards, jumping and hiding behind it as Loona growls, and Blitzo says, "I just think some small tweaks might help you be more of a uh, people person, you know?" And Loona growls back, "I am a people person!" She reaches forwards, grabs Blitzo by the collar and pulls him close, "If I'm so terrible, how about you just grow a pair and replace me?"

Blitzo stares down Loona and says, "Okay, well, maybe I- Maybe I might." Loona looks shocked and replies, "What?" Blitzo looks at Moxxie who gives him a thumbs up as he turns back to Loona. "Maybe I will, little missy! Yeah, that's right it's tough love time. So, now you can... go... to your desk!" Blitzo snaps at Loona.

Loona growls at Blitzo and drops him before heading back to her desk as Octavia opens the door and wraps her hair around her neck like a scarf disguise. Nobody realizes that she has entered as Moxxie says, "Sir, if I may say so; you're doing the right thing. If we can't even hire a cheerful qualified receptionist, how can people trust us to massacre and mutilate their enemies for them? It's good for business."

Octavia halts before Loona spots her sneaking in, but she doesn't react to her. Octavia makes it into Blitzo's office and starts rummaging around in his desk to no avail. She turns behind her to a framed portrait of IMP all together and moves it to reveal a wall safe covered in spider webs and labeled "Blitzo's stuf Do Nut Steel!!" with a drawing of two horses. She enters a code of 1-2-3-4 and the safe opens. She grabs her father's grimoire out of the safe and flips through the pages.

"Take me to see the stars." Octavia says as a pentagram swirls around her and black swirls of power stream towards the ceiling. The light show coming from Blitz's office catches Moxxie's attention. "Um, Sir?" Moxxie says as Blitzo looks up, "The fuck?"

I.M.P squeezes through the door as they draw their weapons , just in time to see Octavia disappearing through the portal. Blitzo screams, "LOOONA!" from her desk she calls out nonchalantly, "Oh, yeah. You have a visitor.

OCTAVIA'S POINT OF VIEW

Octavia looks around slowly blinking as she takes in her surroundings and says to herself slowly, "Where am I?" Octavia looks at a Hollywood star on the ground which a hobo vomits on, causing Octavia to slide backwards and yelp. The dead body of Brennon Ragers with an eyeball coming out of his head lies underneath Octavia, who accidentally crushed him after falling on him from the portal. The grimoire sits next to him. Octavia looks up and the portal closes. She then runs off with the grimoire.

"Woah!" Octavia says running into a clown who yells, "This is my territory, bitch! Take your shitty costume and get the fuck off my corner!" He pushes Octavia as she grabs her things and runs across a cross walk while cars swerve and almost hit her. She runs into a protest mob. They're holding signs that say, "demons walk among us", "God hates you personally", and "<-- To Hell".

She dodges away from them and almost into a gleaming golden statue of a man smiling with his hand out. Octavia falls to the ground as two ladies see her and look shocked. Octavia looks frightened as she grabs the grimoire and scrambles into an alley way. She sits with her knees to her chest breathing heavily like a panic attack. 

BLITZO'S POV

Blitzo is panicking lots "Shit, shit, shit, shit!" Blitzo grabs Moxxie "What the fuck am I supposed to tell Stolas?!" Moxxie looks at Blitzo pondering what to say "Well, he seems to like you, sir. Maybe he would understand if -- " Moxxie gets shoved away by  Blitzo who responds,

"Okay, my dick is good, but it is not that good, Moxxie." Moxxie looks up at Blitzo, "Sir, I don't think we really have a choice." Blitzo stares him down frustrated as he says, "So, what? You just want me to call him up and be like, "Hey, Stolas"-

Cut to Blitzo actually on the phone "So, your daughter came by, took your book, and teleported off to who the fuck knows where, and we have no way of getting either of them back, okay?! Okay! Good talk, byeee!"

Blitzo looks progressively more worried as he speaks and quickly puts the phone down when he's done, backing away slightly. "Oh, that actually went better than I thought." Blitzo says as the door blows up and Stolas stands outside in his full demon form, Olivia standing next to him worriedly on her phone.

Demonically Stolas yells, "BLITZO!"

OCTAVIA POV

Octavia is trying to talk to people on the street but everyone ignores her, "Hey, do y- Can you help - h-how do I get ah - I - excuse me, I just need to know where I can..." Octavia sighs, "see the stars. She groans and rubs her eyes pulling her beanie over her face.

A pamphlet flies into Octavia's face it says "bus tours" on the back and on the inside center panel "Star Struck Tourz" and in the bottom left hand corner "Stalk your fave celeb!" She crumples the flyer in a close hug, "Yes!" She expands it back out and runs to hop a seat on the Starstruck Tourz bus.

OLIVIA POV

Dad paces in front of me and IMP worriedly stressing, "How could this happen?! Do you just let anyone waltz into your office and grab infinitely powerful artifacts?!"Dad clutches his hat worriedly as Blitzo and Moxxie shuffle away from me slightly, not even Dad knows about what happened at the harvest moon festival, I stare back at him as he continues, "Why would she do this? How are we supposed to find her? Where would she go?

Loona sniffs the air, "Well, it reeks of urine and desperation so..." She sniffs the air again "Ugh... L.A." We all stop being worried and turn to Loona looks of shock on our faces as Loona says, "What?"
