~NRK~
He awoke that morning to a form of dramatic metal, headbanging, and screams.
A furred limb reached over and pressed down on his phone with a sigh before he slowly sat up from his bed.
Rolling his shoulders, he heard the cracks and let out a satisfied breath before getting up and out of his resting place.
He felt his body activate as the creak of the bed rang out before he headed to his bathroom.
'It's 6 am, Stella-sama and Stolas-sama won't be up for another two hours,' he considered as he passed a full-body mirror and looked at it. '... 20 years and I'm still not sure about this appearance.'
He always seemed to catch himself in full and couldn't be more confused each time he did.
What stood in that mirror was a tall, anthropomorphic, goat man with brown fur, a thick, slightly long, powerful snout and two long, black and white, horns that came up from the sides of his forehead.
His legs were long and powerful-looking while a long, whip-like, brown tail trailed from his behind and ended in a furred tip, all coming out of a pair of dark purple boxer-briefs. His arms were well-muscled, as well, and had clawed hands that had black tips for claws.
Black eyes took it all in as a head of white, slightly spiky, hair sat atop his head in place of a mane… though he wasn't sure if goats had manes.
'Questions for later,' he told himself as he moved into his bathroom. 'Now, to get this whole process over with.'
Turns out, having fur made cleaning a nightmare.
An hour later and he was both clean and dry with a new pair of black boxers on.
He moved around his bed, which was in the center of his room, and went to the closet by the bathroom door.
Going in and coming out moments later, he put his work uniform on his bed before dressing himself.
When he was done, he was wearing a pair of black slacks, a white dress shirt with ruffles at the collar, a white-gold pocketwatch, and chain in his breast pocket, and a black coat with two long coattails that came down to the back of his knees.
He adjusted it two more times before nodding to his reflection and leaving his room-
He blinked and came to a stop as he saw two sneaking individuals freezing mid-step past his room.
"... Stolas-sama?" He asked quietly. "... Ah, I see," the goat man said as the men before him grimaced.
One of them was a tall owl man with grayish-blue feathers, white facial features that contained four red eyes, two that were smaller and on his forehead, and a black beak.
Dressed in red robes, the owl man smiled after recognizing him.
"Obito?" Stolas the owl said with a relieved smile. "Obito, apologies if we awoke you."
"You didn't, I was getting ready to make breakfast," the now-named Obito Uchiha said as he crossed his arms, looking up about three feet to lock gaze with Stolas.
Yes, here he was, the former war mad man, now working for an owl demon.
Yes, 'demon', after all, Obito had died and so he went to the one place where he belonged.
Hell. Welcome to hell, the place where all forms of vices, debauchery, and taboo took place on the daily.
Honestly, it was still odd to think hell was so… bearable, for lack of a better word. Demons, sinners, and hell-natives lived lives down here and yet it still took the former human by surprise by how 'normal' everything was down here.
So, here he was, in the service of a demon but not just any demon but one of the Goetic Demons, some of the highest echelon in hell that could make any normal demon freeze with a sneeze… or, in Stolas's case, a stare.
"So… Uh, nice ta meet ya, goaty," came the voice of the person next to Obito's employer/master.
He was tall for his species, that being an imp while bearing long black horns with white bands every so often.
He had the same color scheme of his species, that being most red with white spots, on occasion, but his head was long and more block-like while, atop his forehead, was a black mark.
The imp came to just above Obito's stomach in height, being shorter than all other living beings, in general, like most of his species but still tall for an imp.
Dressed in smaller, red, robes, the imp grunted, clearing his throat.
"I'm going to assume this is a situation I should stay out of," Obito said with a knowing look at the relieved Stolas. "Or is he joining us for breakfast?" He also asked, these kinds of situations he wasn't used to.
Especially since they were in hell.
"Ah, no! No, no, no, he's leaving," Stolas said with a shaky grin. "And, yes, you're right, this is hush-hush, I know that Stella favors you, somewhat."
"Being fair, sir, neither of you two seem… happy, together, I'm just confused why you don't break it off."
"It's… I… Octavia," the owl demon said and Obito didn't comment on his quick cover-up, even if it was also probably true. "You know her, she's a good girl and she thinks the world of us… so if she sees that, I don't…"
"No, it's fine, I understand," Obito said before walking off. "Please be careful, sir, you know most of the other servants would have ousted you if they did see this."
"I'd have handled it," the imp said with a gun coming out of his robes.
"... I'm not going to question where that came from," Obito said with a shake of the head. "Enjoy yourselves."
Watching him disappear down a hall, Stolas cupped his chin in thought.
"Are you sure that's alright?" The imp asked with crossed arms. "How trustworthy is he?"
"My most loyal servant, Blitzy," Stolas said with a chuckle. "He came to hell some 20 odd years ago and ended up in our courtyard 15 years ago, you know the hole that was under construction."
"Holy Heaven, he did that?" 'Blitzy' said in disbelief before grinning big and wide. "Ya know, Stolas, that kind of firepower would make my job super easy."
"You do remember that you're supposed to be discreet, my little imp?"
"I get ya, I get ya but, surely, he's useful."
"... He is, as a matter of fact, my book… I believe that Obito may also hold the power to come between realms, Blitzo," the Goetic Demon said with some thought before smiling. "Actually… I might have a better idea for you all."
~NRK~
He cleaned the kitchen along with a few of the other servants.
"Billy, no, remember, work smarter, not harder," Obito told a more monkey-like imp as he showed him proper strokes of his broom. "Now, grab me some of the pancake mix from the pantry."
The rather mindless imp nodded as he hopped over to the pantry as Obito readied some pans, acknowledging the presence entering the kitchen with a nod and word.
"Good morning, Stella-sama," he said as a hum came from behind him.
"You're awake early, as always," said a female owl demon as she came up to him before embracing him from behind, her chin landing on the crown of his head, white and pink feathers peeking past Obito's vision. "You remain enticing, Obito~" She cooed into his ear, the animal feature flickering.
"So you remind me," he said with a chuckle and she did the same, letting him go and moving to the table. "Ah, thank you, Billy," the monkey-imp nodded with a smile.
"You've trained him," Stella's voice came from behind him along with the soft screech of a chair. "Billy's never been so efficient before you came along. Honestly, you two are the best servants in the entire manor."
"I trained him but more like his manager instead of a pet, as you're implying," Obito said as he made several handsigns before landing on Tora, breathing in before expelling a small stream of fire beneath four pans and cutting it off.
Below the pans, the flames floated like will-o-wisps and kept them heated evenly as he mixed a large amount of batter with a big whisk in his tail as he brought down ingredients.
He cooked for ten minutes, hands that mastered the art of breakfast working quickly and easily before, soon enough, five plates of food, pancakes, omelets, and bacon, sat ready and steaming.
He finally turned to face his other employer, the owl woman's eyes shifting to the food as her stomach growled, leaving her cheeks a slight pink.
Stella Goetia, wife of Stolas Goetia, was a rather pretty owl demon, even compared to Obito's more human standards.
She was taller than her was by a single foot and had a long, flaring, plumage that acted like a long, voluminous, wave of spiky hair that went down below her rear.
She was a light pink demon with white on the outer edges and dark pink decorating the tips of her long tail feathers and the underside of her hair-like feathers' tips.
Her face was covered in white while her beak was pink and her eyes were surrounded by back flaring black feathers. Her eyes, meanwhile, were yellow and beady with red sclera.
Dressed in a long black teddie, her black, clawed, feet donned pink slippers and her hands were covered by her notable elbow-length dark pink gloves.
As he said before, she was surprisingly attractive and had curves that made many a demon swoon… but, despite all that, despite their friendliness, Obito hoped it was 'friendliness', Stella was obsessed with image.
From what Stolas had explained to him, she wasn't even a royal, hell, she'd been a citizen who'd been adopted and taken into the royal life. He didn't know much about her past beyond that.
So, as he brought her own her food, she smiled at him, hand running down his forearm before flicking his thumb.
"Impressive, as always," she whispered and Obito feigned ignorance.
He nodded and set the table before going over and sitting on one of a trio of chairs by the large window in the kitchen, gesturing Billy over before handing him his own food.
The three ate in what could be seen as companionable silence before a head popped into one of the kitchen's two entryways.
Her hair was like Stella's in concept, being a large bunch of feathers that resembled hair in design, with this younger female owl's being slightly spiky with a single 'sharp' point at the back and front as a bang.
Her feathers were a dark gray compared to her parents but she had her mother's red sclera and her father's white irises with some natural purple eyeshadow on her eyelids. Her face was white with a black beak.
Dressed in a pair of black robes and slippers, she blinked before sighing in relief, an action that only Obito noticed.
'Ah, thankful there's no shouting again?' He thought as he got up, placing his food on his seat before greeting her. "Welcome, Octavia-ojou-sama."
"Oh, Obito," Octavio Ars Goetia smiled at him, coming in before looking at the steaming food. "Oh, cool," she said as she took a seat at the table, Obito going over to the coffee maker and grabbing her a cup. "T-Thanks," she said with hand rubbing the back of her neck, under her mother's nodding gaze.
"You're welcome."
Then, as if summoned by a full room, Stolas appeared in his robes from earlier, the owl patriarch looking around and nodding in satisfaction.
"As always, impressive work, Obito," he said before seating himself.
The goat man bowed at the waist, nodding before retaking his seat.
They ate and Obito simply nodded to this simple life.
He'd taken on all the sins of those who'd died before him and ended up here as a wicked form of retributions… and, yet, he didn't mind.
This was an interesting life.
~NRK~
He tended to the family as they rested on one of the large patios… Okay, well, 'tending' wasn't the right word.
Obito simply spent time with them, working out in a black tank top and dark purple pants, currently doing push-ups with Octavio sitting crosslegged on his back.
"In time, Via, you'll find that spark within you," Stolas coached as Stella red under a parasol, a Moku Bunshin standing by her with a wine bottle in his hands. "Tell me, Obito, do you leave the manor often?" He asked curiously as he watched another flexing muscle move with interest. "Very impressive."
"Hm? Usually, only to get groceries and items," Obito explained as Octavia grinned. "Well, that and Octavio-ojou's dancing lessons which she roped me into."
"He's really good at it," Octavia said with a smirk. "I'm surprised, you never struck me as the hip-hop type."
"I've told you all before, haven't I? I was a ninja, contorting my body in different ways was all a part of it," Obito reminded her. "Pushing my body to its limits is easy, learning how to breakdance, though? That just seemed to come to me easily, scarily enough."
"It's good to have a hobby," Stolas said with a chuckle. "With looks like yours, a body built like a Greek god, and an aloof attitude, I wouldn't be surprised you'd pull a rather ecstatic crowd."
"That sounds troublesome," the goat man said as he kept going. "Any progress, Octavia-ojou?"
"Hmm…" Octavia hummed before shaking her head, eyes opening. "No, I don't really get it."
"In time," Stolas said before clapping his hands. "Now, off Obito, I actually need to speak with him."
Octavia hummed at that, doing as told and Obito jumped up to stand before the Goetic Demons.
"Come, there's a duty I want to entrust to you, Obito," Stolas said as they walked to the other end of the balcony, the goat man's eyebrow raised as he leaned forward while Stolas leaned back. "Hm, you remember that imp from earlier?" He whispered, forehead eyes flickering to Octavia and Stella, the two sitting down together with the former opening a book.
"Yes," Obito said. "Something to do with him?"
"... Yes," Stolas said with a sigh, turning around to lean on the railing as Obito did. "I want you to go down there, every now and then, to protect him when you can," Obito was surprised. "Hm, hm… I don't really… understand it myself but he's mine and I can't very well just let him die."
"... Understood," Obito said with a nod before Stolas smiled. "Still, what should I tell Stella should she push?"
"Oh, easy, there's actually something I need you to do whenever you can," Stolas said and Obito hummed. "You see, there's been an odd change in the portals and I want you to get used to going through to locations and seeing if you can't teleport yourself to and from the human world."
Obito's eyes widened at that, cupping his chin. "Huh… I never thought about going to your human world," he said and the owl chuckled. "Alright, this sounds rather interesting. Anything else?"
"Hmm, well, make sure he thinks of me?" Stolas asked and Obito snorted. "Oh and remember to be back if the task doesn't take too long."
"Of course, sir."
~NRK~
He dressed up for the afternoon.
Wearing a pair of black slacks and a white turtleneck, Obito rolled his shoulders and tied a pair of black armbands around his biceps.
The final bits were a pair of fingerless gloves with skulls on the back, it'd been a gift from Octavia on one of his birthdays and was one of his most well-used products.
With those on, he nodded.
Right then, the door to his room opened to reveal Octavia herself in its entryway, blinking at him. "You're going somewhere? We don't have another class until tomorrow."
"Hm? Oh, no, just going to handle that job your father wanted me to do," Obito explained.
Wearing a shin-length black coat, a pink, star-spangled, long-sleeved top, and black pants, Octavia came in and sat on the servant's bed.
"Did he say it was classified?"
"It's not but he did want me to keep it quiet," Obito explained as he packed a few of his weapon pouches. "I should only be gone for a few hours, I'll be back in time to make dinner by eight."
"Hm, hm, you sound more like a nanny than a butler, hm, hm," Octavia said with a chuckle as Obito snorted.
"It's not exactly what I was going for but it is what it is," Obito said as he latched everything on, a shuriken pouch on the back of his waist and a compressed staff on his left armband like it was a bandolier. "Alright, I'm going to head out," he said as he came over, ruffled her hair, and walked out. "I'll see your mother on the way out."
"That doesn't sound lewd or anything."
"Don't take after your father."
~NRK~
Stella hummed in her earlier outfit, now plus a small coat for the cool library, as she read.
There was a knock on wood and she turned to see Obito knocking on the entryway into the room.
"Stella-sama," Obito said simply as he walked in, the owl demon humming as she closed her journal. "I just wanted to inform you that I'll be out for a bit, I'll be back by eight."
"Hm? Where to?" Stella asked curiously with a hum. "It's not another lesson with Octavia, is it? I'm pretty sure you told me it was… even days, I believe."
"It is," Obito said with a chuckle as he leaned on the back of her psychologist couch. "Just wanted you to know, it's some stuff Stolas-sama wanted me to get used to."
"Used to?" Stella hummed. "I take it that you can't tell me?"
"It's simply me going through the rings to set up some marks," Obito explained and understanding dawned on the matriarch. "Anywhere you want me to go specifically?"
"..." Stella tapped her chin before chuckling. "Go to the Ring of Gluttony, there's said to be a new festival that might give you ideas, hm, hm, hm."
"Got it," Obito smirked. "Anything else?"
"Hmm, that'll be all… and, Obito, take care."
"Thank you, I will, ma'am."
~NRK~
"Ready to leave?" Stolas asked as he arranged some books in his study, dressed more like the royal he was.
Wearing a crimson red vest with gold buttons and effects, gray pants, a black tophat with a crown-like insignia on it, and a feathered mantle, he was the very image of a Goetic Demons that Obito knew him to be.
"Yes, I just said goodbye to Octavia and Stella," Obito explained, coming into the study. "Protect him and test out the portals of the Netherworld and human world. I actually told Stella-sama that I'd be traversing the rings and she wants me to pick up a recipe from the Ring of Gluttony."
"Hmm," Stolas's beak set in a soft smile. "She always did like sweets, especially since you started making them," he licked his lips. "Yes, I'd also like that."
"Then I'll focus on it. I'll head out now, sir," Obito said as he opened a window nodded to him. "I'll be back, hopefully, this doesn't get weird."
"... Possibilities are endless?" Stolas said with an amused smile, throwing a card at Obito who caught it.
"I'll be back," Obito said before flipping out the window.
His body fell down with his arms out, like a skydiver, before landing with a small burst of dust.
Standing up, he looked back at the sky-piercing building that was Ars Goetia Manor before taking his leave through the gates of the courtyard in a brisk walk.
He nodded to the guards as he passed, both hellhounds nodding back before he took off down the road pathway.
Obito was a blur to their eyes as he vanished from his spot.
"You ever wonder why he's not a bodyguard?"
"Eh, he's their butler, he goes everywhere with the fam, I don't think they need another bodyguard."
"Touche."
~NRK~
He hopped from building to building of the current city he was in, Cannibal Colony, he remembers, sort of.
Obito was sure he'd traversed at least 100 miles by this point when he heard his stomach.
'Two hours and I'm a city away from the elevator, I can get a snack,' he told himself as he hopped down to the sidewalk, shocking those around before ignoring them as he walked off. 'But it's still Cannibal Colony, I question if I'll even find anything-'
"Hello~ Hot stuff," Came a voice from his side and, soon enough, Obito was surrounded on all sides by four female demons with sharp teeth. "Never seen you around a place like this," one of them said, a tall, dreary-looking, demoness with a suit with a square face and a lazy gaze. "Looking for a night on the town~?"
"No, I'm looking for food," Obito answered back and got grins all around. "Not cannibal food, God above."
"Oh, you're so boring," another one of them said, a cyclops woman with red hair and two horns that had a ferocious gleam in her eye. "Even though you look so delicious."
"I'd suggest controlling yourself," Obito said as he stopped, eyes narrowed and flicking to her. "If you don't want a problem."
Then the air around the four grew cold and intense, pressure the likes of which shook their bones and caused their tails to flop down.
And, moments later, it was gone, the goat sinner leaving them with barely a word.
"My goodness!" The four heard from behind them and turned as one to see-
"Alastor!" They cried out, rushing him before wailing into his red coat. "He was so mean!"
"It seems more like to me that you all met your matches! Talk about fire beating fire!" The male demon said with a chuckle and twirl of his hat, eyes intrigued and on the back of the leaving Obito. "But, please, tell me about him."
He finally found someplace that didn't want to feed him other people.
The prices were jacked as all hell, though, and Obito was sure that it was for the very reason of being 'vegan' compared to all the other choices.
'Thank God, I get paid well,' it was a simple result of being an amazing servant, he guessed. 'Now, let's see… Muffins sound nice-'
"Why hello there?!" Came a voice from in front of the goat man who lowered his menu to see a rather… powerful demon. "If you don't mind me asking about the weather, I'd say how do you do?"
What sat in front of the goat man was clearly a human soul if it wasn't because of the scent that Obito knew to designate as 'mortal' then it was the fact that the man's eyes contained a madness that Obito was pretty associated with.
Obito had seen delusion before and this one's own seemed to have transcended beyond that point, didn't it?
He was a very red-'tinted' demon, what with his entire outfit having some form of the color in dark and bright hues.
Wearing a pair of slacks, boots, dress shirt, a blazer with two coattails, and a bowtie, his hands were black and one twirled a cane that held a radio microphone at the end as its ornament.
His skin was a ghastly gray, almost looking ill, while his eyes, sclera, iris, and pupils were red of some sort with his hair finishing his appearance off being a roughed-up style with red as the main color and black on the tips as well as his two deer ears.
All in all, with his crazed-looking eyes seeming to be his default look along with his angular grin, he pulled off intimidation well, the sort of fear that resided in all beings who saw such a well-put-together, yet horribly disjointed, being.
Obito even felt a little of it himself if only because he'd only just met him.
"Fine, yourself?" Obito answered the man's question and he looked intrigued as the owner of the cafe he'd found choked at the sight of the two. "It seems like you've had your interest in me for a while now… Alastor, was it?" The demon's eyes widened a bit before his grin became more genuine.
"Your hearing is top-notch," Alastor said with a tip of the hat. "Alastor, the Radio Demon, is what they call me, a pleasure."
"Obito, Obito Uchiha," Obito replied back with a nod. "What can I do you for, Alastor-san?"
"..." The man's eyes widened even further and his mouth set into a curious frown. "... Wait, Asian?" He wondered in shock. "You're also a human soul."
"I am, though my situation varies," Obito said with a smirk that got Alastor's grin running on all cylinders. "So, how may I help you?"
"It's not something I truly need 'help' with, simple curiosity. You showed my friends over there quite an impression, I think one of them fell in love on the spot."
"... Please tell me you're joking."
"Even in death, I don't dare try and understand the mind of a woman," the Radio Demon said with a chuckle. "Honestly, that's the first thing a man should know in adulthood."
"... Not wrong but I'd say we should at least try and understand each other… somewhat," Obito said, slightly flustered by his words. "Those words really don't sound great coming from me…" God, how did Naruto say this crap all the time?!
"... You are an odd sinner. If I may, what brought you down here?" Alastor asked curiously.
He'd sensed Obito's initial fear and had been prepared for some kind of nervousness… but the goat man had proved him wrong! He feared him no more than a little jumpscare!
He had to know what such an individual was doing here!
"... I died a man who tried to fix his mistakes," Obito admitted with a frown. "... I tried to take over my world," he said and Alastor's eyes widened. "And, to clear something up, I'm not from your human world… but from another one and I became a deluded mad man trying to prove a vision that, in the end, was faker than any hell I had originally thought myself in."
"... Fascinating," the red demon said with a hum. "Yet, you are here, why is that?"
"Well… I chose to do whatever I could to atone before reaching what we call the Pure Lands," Obito explained, the other sinner humming at the concept. "And took on all the sins of the people I personally knew, to give them a faster time to reincarnate."
"... That seems… unwise and yet so intriguing," Alastor said with a chuckle. "Yet, for such a virtuous person to have been sent so far away, I guess those sins were heavier than I might expect."
"They are," Obito explained before flagging down a shocked waitress. "Let me get No.1 and 5. Alastor, are you getting anything? My treat?"
"Oooh!"
Their orders were made, they made small talk, and ate quickly after, their food much to Obito's taste.
When all was said and done, Obito let out a satisfied sigh. "That's impressive," he said to the waitress who blushed. "Thank you, I know where I'm coming whenever I'm in Cannibal Colony," Obito said, paying her the money before giving her a tip.
The gray sheep woman blushed like an idiot and Alastor chuckled as the two of them got up and left.
"Goodness, you're smoother than I expected!"
"What are you talking about?" Obito asked and Alastor froze before his grin grew seven sizes that day. "... Concerning."
"I take it you live here?" Alastor asked with a snicker.
"No, actually, I have to make it to Imp City," Obito explained, surprising the Radio Demon. "And, after that, I have to go to the elevator," the goat man explained further, confusing Alastor.
"Surely, you know that beings such as us can't use… I-Impossible! You can… use the Level Down?" Alastor asked in shock as Obito smirked.
"I never told you," Obito said with a chuckle as they walked past numerous shocked demons. "I've worked for one of the higher demons for the past decade, I'm given special permissions for being a good butler."
"..." Alastor's eyes simply remained wide. "You're ridiculous, do you know that?"
"Snrt, so I've been told," Obito said as they stopped by a street corner. "I'll take my leave here, Alastor. Maybe we'll meet again, one day," Obito said with a nod as the Radio Demon chuckled, hand raised.
"Promise?" He asked and, even if he knew Obito didn't fully understand him, he was shocked at the goat man's courage to shake his hand, even those on the sidewalk looked at him shocked. "... Hm, hm, hm, hahaha! You're an amazing demon!" Alastor said, wiping away a tear of laughter.
Perhaps he'd be a good source of fun in the future! Alastor could only hope!
"Alright, take it easy," Obito said as they let go and he threw him a salute.
The goat man vanished in a swirl of leaves, getting a hum from Alastor who looked up at the passing shadow of a goat man.
"Hmmm… Hell's not so boring, after all." He said to himself before walking off, twirling his cane with a grin. "Now, I'm sure I heard of some kind of madness going on in Pentagram City, yes? Oh, isn't the Purge in a few weeks? Best be careful of that."
~NRK~
Obito devoured the distance between Cannibal Colony and Imp City.
"Almost there," he said to himself before frowning. "I guess I should introduce myself? Stolas didn't mention anything about hiding my presence… but I also need to visit the Gluttony Ring."
He'd go after making sure things didn't get crazy with this imp.
~NRK~
Blitzo the imp considered the group before him.
"Now, I know business has been… a bit slow, lately, yes, but it's no one's fault! Not naming names… Moxxie, now does anyone know how we can get business drumming up again?" He asked, wearing his favored black collared coat and gloves, his legs moved in his most fitting of pants and boots!
There was a knock on the door to their office, just outside of Blitzo's own personal one, and the four individuals in the room blinked.
"That sounded like it was the front desk," one of them, a Hellhound, a canine-hell-native, said with a raised brow as her nose flickered. "... Goat?" She frowned.
She was a wolf-type of Hellhound. Having a dog-like muzzle with sharp and pointy teeth and a dark grey nose, red sclera with white irises, white fur with grey patches on her shoulders, a big bushy tail, and voluminous grey hair swept to the side.
Wearing a spiked collar, a gray crop top with strings that formed a star-shape over her chest, she also had on torn black shorts with a moon over the sides on her double-jointed legs' hips, fingerless black gloves, toeless stockings, and a piercing in her right eyebrow with two in her left ear, the other one not bearing any, especially with its torn-state.
"What'd ya say, Loonie?" Blitzo asked in confusion as he tapped his chin. "Goat… goat… why do I feel like that's familiar?"
"You didn't go and screw a goat dude, did you?" She asked before raising a brow at the smell. "Oiled metal?" 'Loonie' growled as she got up and stomped out of the office with the other three looking on.
"Um, shouldn't we make sure things go well?" Asked a small imp woman who was shorter than Blitzo.
She had the same crimson skin of an imp along with two horns atop her forehead and a long demon tail with white splotches on the tip and near the base.
She had short, slightly wild, black hair and freckles across her cheeks. Her eyes were black with yellow sclera containing them and the eyes, as a whole, being enhanced by thick eyelashes.
Wearing a black choker, cold-shoulder top, and torn black pants, she had on black braces around her ankles, leaving her hoofs bare.
"Hmm, well, Loona might be attacking a client," Blitzo considered with a hand rubbing his chin as his last employee sighed. "Go out there and make sure she's not killing 'em, Mox!"
'Mox', or Moxxie, groaned and held his head in his hands before walking out.
Being short like the female imp, he had long, angled near the ends, horns that were mixed in with his white hair but was differentiated by the black bands on them.
His hair came down to frame his red-skinned face with two long sideburns. Along his cheeks were white freckles and his eyes were not unlike the female imp's.
Wearing a red bowtie, a long black coat with red buttons and white cuffs, a white dress shirt, and black slacks, his double-jointed legs' hoofs were left bare as well as he adjusted his fingerless gloves.
"Mmmm," Moxxie grumbled as he left the room, opening the door- "E-Excuse me?! Sir?! Loona's down!"
"What?!" Blitzo shot out the room, a gun in hand, and raised at the… Oh shit. "O-Oh, hey, guy-from-this-morning-I-don't-remember," he said with a grimace as Obito sat in the doorway.
Well, 'sat' as in sitting on Loona who struggled underneath him with her hands pressed into her back.
"G-Get the hell off me, you bitch!" She shouted at him but Obito shook his head. "Fucking hell, shoot him, Blitzo!"
"N-Now hold on, this is all a misunderstanding!" Blitzo said as he came up to Obito who sighed and got off the Hellhound. "There! See, we're all-"
Obito sighed as he was tackled by an angry wolf teen.
"Not so tough-" Loona tried to say, holding his back down, only to find herself immediately on the floor, arms crossed and tied to the floor with cloth and kunai, Obito sitting between her legs. "T-The fuck?!"
"You should probably not try to ambush me, again, when it didn't work the first time," Obito said with a flat look before shaking his head. "Blitzo-san, why the hell did your… employee, attack me?"
"N-Now, hold on, we can talk this out!" The taller-than-normal imp said in horror before Obito sighed, only to find legs locking around his waist. "Loonie! Wait!"
"Hah! Can't be so slick now, can ya?!" Loona shouted at Obito who shot her a look of confusion before he phased through her hold, leaving her locked to the floor in disbelief. "Who the hell is this guy?!"
"Listen, he's our boss's butler, Christ," Blitzo said in an instant as the female imp peeked out the door. "Millie, get in here, we need to make sure Loona doesn't try something again!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Loona asked dangerously.
"It means you got yourself into more trouble than you could handle," Obito said with a wagging finger. "So, surprise, don't get impulsive again or you're gonna be in a worse situation."
She growled, teeth bared.
"Okay, okay! What's up, buddy, pal, my boss's favorite dude?" Blitzo asked Obito as Moxxie and Millie worked on undoing Loona's binds. "Like, please tell me he didn't send you here to… glp, take the book back."
"What? No," Obito said and Blitzo sagged in relief. "I was here to introduce myself as a new helper for your business, every now and then, that is."
"Holy shit, he agreed with my idea?! YESSSS!" Blitzo cheered in the middle of the room in absolute satisfaction. "Fuck yeah! Now we've got a new powerhouse! Say 'hello' to our newest team member, guys!"
"Wait, what?!" Loona growled as she was finally unbound, jumping to her feet and stalking over and growling directly in Obito's face. "This goat fuck is gonna join us!? Hell no!"
"Loonie, look, we can't control who and/or what wants to join us for no pay," Blitzo said with emphasis as Loona growled some more. "We need all hands on deck! We were literally handling a crisis as is!"
"Crisis?" Obito raised a brow. "What kind?" He asked.
"Well, I'm so glad you asked, my friend, my name's 'Blitzo', the 'o' is silent."
"No, it's not."
"Yes, it is! These are our coworkers, Mils, Mox," Blitzo said without missing a step, gesturing to the two small imps.
"Howdy!" Millie said with a grin. "Man, I've never seen someone take down Loona before, that was a hoot!" She said before hiding behind Moxxie at Loona's growling visage turning her way. "H-Hehe."
"A pleasure to meet you, sir," Moxxie said with a wave, and yet he gazed up at the sinner. "... Apologies, you're not a Hellhound, are you?"
"No, I'm a sinner, actually," Obito explained, surprising the group. "That said, Stolas has been some of the best employment I could have asked for, I'm glad I got hired years ago."
"Hmph, a regal cock-sucker, huh?" Loona said with a frown and Obito pinched the bridge of his snout.
"And I'm sure you're well aware of your nighttime job, I'm very sure," he shot back and she looked like he'd slapped her while Blitzo didn't stop himself from laughing. "Apologies, I almost thought highly of you."
Loona's growls reached high frequencies and Obito's eyes narrowed.
"Don't make me put you in time out, now."
"Okay, hold on, let's chill, let's chill!" Moxxie said, holding his arms up between the two. "We're all here to work together, right now, we need to find clientele."
"... Hmph," Obito crossed his arms with a sigh. "Fine, what are your business strategies?" Obito asked the imp who rubbed the back of his head.
"He… hehe, uh, right, business strategies," Moxxie said with a nervous chuckle. "Oh, crumbs."
"... You don't have any, do you?"
"Hey, we've got a commercial!" Blitzo said with a grin as he rolled a TV out of his office, turning it to the appropriate channel. "Now, watch and be amazed!"
Obito did as he asked and watched the entirety of the commercial, nodding at certain parts.
"So, this might sound odd but this commercial, as far as hell is considered, is fine," Obito explained Blitzo's grin widened and Moxxie's mouth dropped. "So, the question is, why the hell are you lacking clients?"
"... Um," Millie considered it. "Well, we don't know, we've had that thing running for three hours all last week."
"... What channel?"
"One that nobody watches," Moxxie groaned. "If it'd play on normal media, we'd probably have some clientele!"
"..." Obito cupped his chin in thought, eyes narrowing at an idea. "Alright then make some flyers, no? You can't just rely on the commercials, find all kinds of avenues."
Blitzo hummed. "Well, that isn't the worst idea but we kind of blew the whole budget on the commercial, so…"
"I'll fund the flyers, come on, let's get those started," Obito said as he jabbed a thumb at the door.
"Alright, we've got a plan!" Millie declared with a grin as Moxxie nodded.
"It's something," he said as they followed Obito's lead out the door. "Actually, I'd like to suggest some ideas for the flyers."
"Shoot away."
Blitzo grinned as he adjusted his suit and marched out the door with his chest puffed out.
"Come on, Loonie! We've got sales to make!" He shouted back to the Hellhound whose eyebrow twitched something horrible.
Loona growled at the empty lobby space before stomping after the newest pain in her ass.
"This is gonna suck so hard."
~NRK~
Getting the flyers printed had been easy and, so, they began posting them about the area.
That's when Obito showed them two of the tricks in his bag of them.
He walked back down from the top of the telephone post, walking along its side as other copies did the same.
"That should help, yes?" He asked as the four gaped at him.
"That's cool!" Millie said with a grin as Moxxie smiled.
"This will save so much time and effort! We should make sure to put up the rest!" Moxxie said as he and she ran off with stacks in their hands.
"Damn, this is working out great so far!" Blitzo said with rubbing hands. "Hm, hm, hm, yes, this is our chance!"
Loona snorted at the sight of Obitos all the way down the block, talking with demons and pointing them to Blitzo.
She growled before running off and doing her own flyer-posting.
"We've never done that much advertisement so fast before!" Moxxie said with a grin as the group walked back to the office. "And you even got some of them to set up appointments!" He gushed as Obito raised a brow.
"I'm so confused by how your business works," He said with a sweatdrop. "Wouldn't you want appointments? Are walk-ins really that effective?"
"It's worked out, so far," Millie explained. "While we don't get that many, killing people in the human world is a big business that no one else can really do. For one, you'd need to get to the human world and that's… hehehe, um, illegal."
"And Stolas just lets you, huh?" Obito said.
"He told me that you could possibly get there on your own, is that true?!" Blitzo asked, shocking his employees. "Yeah, turns out that owly picked up a real gem."
"... I don't know," Obito said with a shrug. "The fact remains that not only am I supposed to go to the human world and see if I can't teleport between but to also go down to the other rings."
"Wait, hold on," Loona looked alarmed. "You're a sinner, how the hell are you supposed to go down to the lower rings?"
"Due to special permissions," Obito said, getting a chuckling Blitzo for his troubles.
"So, what you're saying is that you can go anywhere without limits?"
"It not only depends on if I can but Stolas will likely also give me limitations, I wouldn't want to break his trust," Obito said and Millie hummed at him. "Yes?"
"This might be kind of rude but you don't strike me as a 'sinner'," she said, tilting her head as Moxxie nodded.
"You're too helpful, I mean, sure, you're helping us set up a killing business but you've been nothing but pleasant to be around," the small male imp said with a cupped chin. "You just don't act like those around here."
"So, he's a weirdo, why's that special?" Loona grunted as Obito shook his head.
"While I'm glad you think so, Moxxie-san, Millie-san, the fact remains that I am a sinner and deserve to be down here," Obito explained, getting some surprise from them.
"That's not exactly what 99% of sinners would say," the taller imp said. "Everyone up here kind of settles. They're all nasty bastards, mind you, but they have to deal with it."
"I'm actually curious about that," Obito said as they entered the parking lot. "So, you're telling me, there's no reincarnation in this hell?"
"... Are you not from this hell?" Moxxie asked and Obito shook his head.
He explained the bare minimum of his situation to them and the group balked.
"W-Wait, hold on, a whole different kind of business for us and it's untouched!?" Blitzo grinned, eyes becoming dollar signs before Obito rolled his eyes and twerked one of the man's horns, rolling his eyes back to normal.
"One, I can't connect to my old world's hell. Two, I never went there in the first place so I have no idea of its signature. Three, I wouldn't want your business there, no offense, the Elemental Nations have more than enough problems to deal with ever since I died."
"C-Come on! Think of the mula!"
"Nope," Obito said.
"Still, I'm still surprised you'd take on all their sins," Moxxie said as they made it up the elevator. "I… I know I couldn't do that no matter how sorry I'd be."
"I've gone way too far off the right path, this is the best I could do for them to lead happy lives."
"It's nice of you, I think you should at least get that much," Millie said with a nod and Obito smirked. "Now, I'm hungry!" She said as the group, as one, felt their stomachs growl.
"Hmm, do you all have a kitchen?" Obito asked.
"D-Dammit!" Loona's head laid against the top of a table in the company kitchen, a plate with the barest of food particles in it in front of her. "Fuck!"
"That was amazing!" Moxxie praised as Obito chuckled, washing the dishes. "I didn't think you could make pasta like that!"
"It was grade-A!" Millie said with a giggle. "I'm so glad I still had some of my family's beef around!"
"I appreciate it, that beef was interesting compared to the ones at the manor," Obito said as he dried his hands. "I'll be taking my leave now. I still want to go and see what the Ring of Gluttony has to offer before I cook dinner."
"Dinner? Oh, right, the rich-ass owl," Blitzo said before humming, stuffing the last of his second helping into his mouth. "Well, go off, when's the next time you'll be here?"
"Hmm, likely every odd day," Obito said. "I take breakdancing lessons with Octavia-ojou-sama on even days of the week. Can't do it for those days."
"Breakdancing?" Loona asked in confusion. "You can dance?"
"Yep, scarily enough, I'm actually pretty good at dancing."
"Hm, hm, you think he could do a jamboree?" Millie asked Moxxie who hummed.
"It'd depend on the type of dancing, right?" Moxxie asked.
"Alright, so I'll see you in a day," Obito said with a nod as he walked out. "Take it easy," he said with a wave back at the group.
"Later, goat bud!" Blitzo waved animatedly. "So, guys, what do ya think?"
"He seems extremely competent," Moxxie said with a smile. "It'd be nice to have someone with such a level head."
"I think he's the bee's knees!" Millie said as her husband chuckled. "He's built big and tough! And he beat Loona! You were right, Blitz!"
"Hey! What the hell is that supposed to mean!?" Loona shouted.
"It means that he can take you down in under a second… so he can take down every human! Loonie, this is good news!" Blitzo considered with a widening grin.
The Hellhound groaned.
~NRK~
Traveled from Imp City to his final destination.
Pentagram City, the true blue home of sinners. This was the city where they would originally fall into when they died.
When he reached the outskirts, he slowed down and walked towards it, the shift from dirt road to the city a slow but integrated process that had him walking cracked streets and weed-ingrown pavement.
"God, it's been over ten years since I've been to the center of the city.'
Usually, he'd go grocery shopping in a closer city to the estate or get stuff from here delivered.
'When I first came here, all I had were the clothes on my back and my cooking skills. Thank God, that was enough and my old friend,' he thought as he walked out and about, minding puddles of liquid he didn't trust and potholes. 'I should probably call him one of these days… Now, the elevator should be-'
His eyes narrowed as he was surrounded by demons of all sorts on all sides… and they looked like eggs?
"We got 'em, boss! We got one!" One of the egg troops said with excitement as Obito raised a brow at the lowering of a large blimp. "Yay!"
"Move it you fools!" Came a voice from the vehicle as a hatch on the side opened for a figure to jump out. "Now, tremble in the presence of Sir Pentious!"
It was a lamia-like sinner, it seemed.
He was tall and had the lower half of a snake's, while his upper half was humanoid. He was lanky from above, having long arms with pink-tipped claws, all while wearing a dark green, yellow pinstriped, suit that had an eye on its tie.
His skin was the same color as his suit with his tail having the inverted pattern of it while covered in eyes. His hood was wide and yellow on the underside, filled with four more big eyes, while his own eyes on his face narrowed as his top hat trembled before another eye on it did.
All in all, he was a rather nasty-looking thing.
"Can I help you?" Obito asked him with a raised brow and the master of the Eggs cackled. "So, that's not helpful," he muttered.
"You see, my little goat friend," Sir Pentious hissed out slowly. "I must start my gaining of the slaves! With you, you seem rather sturdy and you're a goat! You were built for hard labor!"
Obito's eyebrow raised. "Look, I'm sure you thought this is a good idea."
"Why thank you, you see, not everyone gets that," Sir Pentious said with a sagely nod as the Eggs nodded as well, much to Obito's twitching eyebrow.
"Right, the point is, slaves, aren't they out of fashion?" Obito asked and the snake man blinked, holding a finger up in thought.
"T-They are?"
"Well, yes, when was the last time you saw a slave?"
"... I-I get that but the evil handbook says evil is almost always accompanied by slaves!" The snake man said, pulling said handbook out of his pocket. "See, it's in the fine print!" He shouted, showing it to Obito who sweatdropped.
Why the hell was it actually in fine print!?
"Right but what edition is it?" Obito shot back and the villain froze in horror. "Exactly, you don't even have the newest model, do you?"
"I-I-I," Sir Pentious leaned back nervously. "I-It is the newest edition, promise!" He said as he saw Obito's re-black eyes, his black eyes. "W-Wait, Edition 3?! W-Where's my 1st Edition?!" He screamed before rushing back into his zeppelin.
'And that's my cue to leave,' Obito thought. "It's been fun, guys, tell your boss to do well," he said before rushing off.
"Bye!" One of them said.
Obito snuck through alleyways as he navigated out of sight.
"Of course, I get caught up with the one asshole who decides he wants to get a slave, of course, I end up like that!" He grumbled.
"Tell me about it, bub, life's not exactly easy," came a voice that caused him to stop in his tracks and turn around. "Sup," waved a four-armed… man?
Obito wasn't sure, this person sounded male but looked very feminine.
White 'fur', he's not sure, was their base color and it was dotted with pink in odd places.
As mentioned before, they had four arms so six limbs in total, and their eyes were pink with the left one having black sclera.
Dressed in a pair of grayish-purple boots over their double-jointed legs, a light pink blazer with slightly darker pink bands running up and down it. Each of their hands were covered by dark pink gloves while Obito saw a gold tooth in this demon's grin.
"Penny for your thoughts?" They asked and Obito sighed.
"Please don't tell me you work for that asshole with the blimp."
"A few letters off, I work for an asshole who's a pimp," the insect demon said with a shrug and a grimace. "So, I'm glad I could disappoint you? Actually… do I know you?"
"Thanks, regardless, and not that I know, I never frequented the brothels before," Obito said before the sound of shouting reached his ears and he pinched the bridge of his nose. "What's that?" He asked the demon who looked completely downtrodden. "... I see, this is that pimp of yours?"
"Heheh, that easy to read, huh?"
"If you look that sad about it, yes."
"... Yeah, well, thanks, I guess," the demon said before sighing. "Name's Angel Dust, by the way," Obito found a card flourished towards him from the demon's chest fluff. "Come by, some time, and I can give you a special service," they said with a grin and an air kiss before taking off.
Obito looked at the back of the demon and back down at the card.
… 'You're not a hero, you're not a hero,' he reminded himself as he left the other way. 'Besides, these people are all sinners, don't forget-'
"Now, stay on this street corner and make me back my money!" Came a shout from a bit out of the alleyway.
His eyebrows twitched and Obito performed a 180 and powerwalked back in the direction Angel Dust went in.
"Fucking hell," he cursed as he went to find the spider demon, the male spider demon.
Navigating a ton of pathways, following Angel's signature in the safety of the shadows, he eventually found him five minutes later, talking to a car with…?!
'There's no fucking way I'm looking at the princess of hell right now,' Obito realized in horror as he saw the person in the car Angel was chatting with.
"Eh… for women, I charge extra," Angel Dust explained as the demons around him grew more intense in their mounting lusts. "So, unless you can pay for my time-"
"Okay," said the teen from the car, shocking the spider demon a bit. "So, if I pay you, you'll talk with us?" She asked patiently.
"... Eh, alright, sis, spill some tea," Angel said and the girl in the car's eyes widened at the back of him. "Oh-"
Several thuds echoed behind him and the encroaching feeling of arms fell away, leaving Angel Dust to turn around and see the tail slipping into the alleyway along with several knocked-out demons.
"W-Wait, come back!" The girl in the car pleaded with Obito who shook his finger, his form shadowed enough that it could be seen but not distinguished. "C-Could you come, too?!" She asked.
"... apologies but my place isn't there," Obito said and she grimaced. "Listen, I know what you're doing," her eyes widened. "And, while I think it's right, admirable, even… I'm not worth it."
"What?" Her eyes widened. "B-But with that kind of thinking, of course, you are! Everyone deserves another chance!"
"Maybe, you're not wrong, Magne-san," Charlie blinked at his chuckling. "One day, maybe, but that time is not today, not even remotely close, and I'm not trying to offend you-"
"You're not," she said immediately, white face, black eyes, pale yellow sclera, and blonde hair set in braids all looking downward. "You're not a lost cause, I know you're not. You didn't offend me by actually talking to me."
"Hmph, continue doing what you wish for, Magne-san, I know we'll cross paths one day," Obito said.
"So, yer just gonna talk ta meet, see if I'm alright, help me out, and then leave?" Angel Dust asked in confusion. "What the hell kind of demon are ya? Am I crazy? Or did I overdose again?"
"Snrt," Obito snorted before his shadow vanished into the dark. "Later," his voice echoed out to them and Charlie Magne had a feeling that not a single living thing was in that area anymore.
"... Do you know him?" Charlie asked Angel Dust who shrugged.
"Nah, just met him in the alleyway, shot the shit, and got in trouble with my… boss," Angel said after finding the word. "Anyway, you wanted to talk to me?"
Charlie nodded rapidly, gesturing to the car and Angel shrugged before going in.
"Ya got booze?"
"Ugh, why'd she choose you?" Came another girl in the car that Charlie smiled at before looking back into the alleyway.
"... I hope we can meet soon," she said to no one before getting into the vehicle and looking out her window. '...?!' Her eyes widened at the sight of a figure atop the building, shaded by moonlight.
Red eyes looked back at her and their 'head' nodded before vanishing.
'... I think he heard me,' she realized with a smile. 'I knew it! This isn't a failure of a plan!'
Now, to get to know their first subject!
~NRK~
Stolas blinked, looking up from his astrology book, as Obito swirled into existence, looking slightly tired.
"I was worried, what happened?" He asked and Obito's Sharingan sprung to life.
The information exchange was quick and Stolas blinked.
"Goodness, you are quite the traveler, I didn't think you'd go on foot," the owl demon said before humming. "And the princess is still going along with her hotel idea. I can't see the reasoning in it but demons will do as they please, that's our selfishness."
Obito nodded.
~NRK~
After showering, he'd gotten dressed in his uniform without his blazer and made dinner.
As the family, he, Billy, and the carnivorous plant in the corner of the kitchen ate, Stella hummed.
"I can't believe you met the princess," the matriarch said in surprise. "As for your escapades, I'm surprised you helped him. Also, Alastor the Radio Demon? He must be recent."
"I didn't see it in myself, either, but I did what I wanted to, at that moment, and that ended up being helping Angel Dust," Obito said as he flicked the prostitute's card into his hand. "That said, I don't know what I'm going to end up doing from this point on. Thankfully, I have Wood Clones so I can't really be indecisive," he noted.
"And then there's that Sir Pentious guy," Octavia said and Obito nodded. "Any idea of what to do with him?"
"... Likely, when I go there tomorrow, if he thinks of trying me again I'll simply destroy him and move on," Obito said and Stolas smirked.
"Now there's that demon side I was curious about," he said with a chuckle as Stella nodded.
It was nice seeing Obito relish in his own bloodlust.
~NRK~
The following morning saw Obito going through his normal routine up until the afternoon.
"Are you ready Octavia-ojou-sama?" Obito asked the door of the young owl.
Dressed in some fitting dark purple pants plus his cloth shin coverings, the bottom half of his outfit being reminiscent of his Akatsuki uniform.
On his upper body, though, Obito wore a skin-tight black muscle shirt that stretched perfectly over his chest and he donned his fingerless gloves.
"I'm coming!" She said through the door, the sound of music playing through the door before it opened to reveal the young demon in question. "Apologies, I needed to find just the right scrunchie."
Dressed in dark pink sweatpants, a black tank top, and black sneakers, she'd tied back her hair-like feathers into a low ponytail. On her hands were her fingerless gloves while, in them, were her music player and headphones.
"No issue, come on," Obito said with a tilt of the head as she closed her door.
Moving down the halls of the manor, from her room to the kitchen, the two found Stolas in the kitchen feeding one of his carnivorous plants with a slab of meat.
"Ah, hey, dad," Octavia said as Stolas turned around with a chuckle.
"You two are ending towards your dances, I take it?" He asked and Obito nodded.
"We just need to grab the waters I put in the freezer and some honey lemons," he said.
"Already made some," the owl man said with a chuckle at his daughter's surprise. "Oh, come now, I like watching you grow and enjoy yourself, if it's just making a few honey lemons, it's fine."
"... T-Thanks, dad," she admitted with a blush as Obito chuckled.
"Any time, Via."
~NRK~
Heading towards Pentagram City via the Obito Express, the two landed in a nearby alleyway before stepping out and onto the street.
Obito rubbed the back of his head as he looked away from the passing, giggling, female demons and sinners who'd taken up the hobby of looking at him as they walked by.
"I'm still surprised you don't try your luck with many of them," Octavia said as they came to a stop by a club. "I hope Mimzy's can really give us a hard set of moves today," she said as Obito looked up at the place.
Mimzy's Club was the name of the establishment, it'd originally been meant for the owner to sing in and gather a crowd, something she was easily able to do with her voice, but as the time in hell moved on, she'd hired more singers and opened an experimental dance class two years back.
It'd been one year since the two had started coming and with Octavia's known status they'd done good for the reputation of the lessons, much to Mimzy's joy.
… And, he wasn't too sure about this one, Mimzy and Octavia had said he was also an attraction, somehow. He'd not even been dancing by that point and yet he helped? He'd never understand.
"Oh, shit," came a voice from the two's side, and Octavia and Obito turned to see the familiar sight of the I.M.P., Immediate Murder Professionals, crew. "It's you," came Loona's grunt as the four saw them.
Moxxie and Millie were in their own workout wear, the former in some sweatpants, a tank top, and sweatband, all blue, while the latter sported yoga pants, a training bra, and a similar sweatband but all her clothing was in black.
"So, you were the one to come to these lessons?" Moxxie asked with a grin. "We considered your words and thought it'd be kind of fun since we like dancing already," he said as Millie giggled.
"We'd heard about a certain goat man who apparently comes here and weren't so sure until we saw ya," the female imp said as Loona grimaced, her eyes trailing up and down the taller beast demon.
'Fuck him, I'd fuck him,' she realized in anger as she stood there in a pair of black short shorts, her fingerless gloves, and a gray tank top. 'Why the hell is he hot?!' It'd make her life so much easier if he wasn't some demon god in physique.
"By the cross, no wonder everyone loves it around here!" Blitzo said with wiggling eyebrows as Obito raised a brow. "Yes, daddy likes."
Wearing a pair of black pants, a white tank top, black armbands, and a sweatband, Blitzo finished off it all with his own fingerless gloves that sported yellow eyes on the back.
"Excuse me?" Obito asked before Octavia tilted her head at Loona.
"Wait… Aren't you from Hellbook?" The owl demoness asked as Loona crossed her arms and raised a brow.
"... Wait, the Black Masquerade Group?" The Hellhound asked in surprise. "Hold the hell up, I didn't know someone like you used Hellbook!"
"It's fun," Octavia said with a smile before gesturing to the club. "Still, Mimzy's probably waiting."
"Come on," Obito said as he led the way in, tail waving behind him.
As the group followed, the married imps raised a brow at the rather amazing derriere before them.
"I'm thinking… Tempurpedic," Moxxie whispered to Millie who giggled.
"Hmm, I'm calling a nice, firm, pillow," she said with a smirk as he shot her a nod.
"Touche."
"You could bounce several coins off that treasure," Blitzo admired with a grin as Loona scoffed.
'Fuck off, I'm sure it'd bounce me off,' and get her off but that hated part of her mind was ignored. 'Freaking holy gates.'
This couldn't get worse.
"Ah, there you are!" Came a kind of ditzy voice from an approaching woman who smiled at Obito and Octavia. "My biggest attractions!"
She was a short demon, standing about a few inches taller than Moxxie and Mille, who had sickly pale skin despite how much energy and healthy enthusiasm she displayed.
She was slightly chubby with firm but thick legs, hips, and biceps. Her chest was decently large for her size and she had short blonde hair, with a feather in it, that framed her face which held two dark pink eyes within them, their sclera black.
Wearing a dazzling flapper's dress, she had on a pink headband and necklace to finish off her costume.
"Mimzy," Obito and Octavia said kindly.
"It's been a while," the young owl demon said as the short humanoid grinned.
"It's fine, like always. You two take my lessons the best, after all," Mimzy said with a smirk. "Now, come on, your adoring audience awaits~" She'd said with a song-like tone as she led the group through the main singing 'theatre' section off to a large pair of double doors where the noise was coming from. "Honestly, Obi, you should weaponize those looks of yours! Why imagine how much you could accomplish!"
"Ya know, I think the same thing," Blitzo said with a leer. "All things considered, you're not even the least shit person I've met, so that says something."
"... I'm sure," Obito said with a raised brow. "I'm assuming that's high praise."
"In hell, fuck yea!"
"Okay then," Obito said as they broke through the double doors to find themselves in a room with white padded floors that were decorated by red spots.
And, in the room, all of the demons within turned to see Mimzy presenting Obito and Octavia like they were attractions.
"We've got our best dancers here!" Mimzy said with a grin as the demon's eyes grew happy and 'hungry' at the sight of Octavia and Obito, respectively. "Now, come and dance for a little demonstration, no? We've got newbies!"
Obito and Octavia smirked as they walked upfront, the former tucking her headphones around her neck and mp3 into her shirt.
"Music!" Mimzy called out and a demon by a large jukebox nodded, putting in a specific CD.
The two moved fluidly into a long lunge before Obito's hand came down to the floor.
The man's back leg swung out and hit Octavia's, only for the owl girl to flip up and over it as he turned his leg sweep into a set of windmills that she used as hopping platforms before he froze perfectly as she did as he did but on his shin.
When she finished he rolled out and she spun into a perfect landing.
They locked eyes and he jumped overhead while she rolled underneath only to kick her legs up to be caught by his hand.
Obito used it as a platform to flip off before landing on the floor and performing several windmills to handstands.
The two moved in synch and their routine came to a finish with a pair of flips and landings.
The class clapped and the IMP crew did as well, Moxxie and Millie looking more entranced by their skills than any other.
The two demonstrators hi-5ed as Mimzy came forward with shining eyes.
"I love watching you two perform your magic!" She said with awe as the two chuckled. "But you all see just how well put together such an on-demand routine was? That's practice while you need training to not just perform those moves but to string them together. Most of you know but this is more for our newbies. Now, everyone, get on the mats."
Obito and Octavia moved onto the mats next to the IMP Crew, the former nodding off and waving at his 'fans'.
Octavia called them his 'admirers' and Obito chose to ignore it.
"Yes, thank you. Yes, you, too," Obito said with a neutral expression and nods to everyone he passed before finding his place and rolling his head. "I'm getting far too much attention."
Even if he was attractive, despite how much he didn't think he was, surely this was too much, yeah?
"I keep telling you, admirers," Octavia said with a smirk as Millie snickered and Moxxie smiled. "You honestly don't make sense sometimes."
"I'll take it as a compliment."
The class started with the students stretching and warming up their bodies.
"Now, remember, stretch past your limits but not too long, you don't want to wear out your bodies," Mimzy said as she pulled her leg in, the limb coming over her other leg which was flat against the floor. "Hmm! Hold it for ten seconds and then switch!"
Obito, Octavia, and Millie did this with ease while Moxxie, Blitzo, and Loona struggled, the Hellhound the most as her legs fought her the whole way.
"Fucking, why'd I even come today?" She grunted with a growl, doing her best as she switched her legs.
"I think… Got it!" Blitzo said with a proud grin as he got his leg to wrap around to his side. "Hah! Not so hard!"
"Alright, everyone, let's move onto the next stretch!" Mimzy announced.
Blitzo's smile lasted only until he tried to get up and couldn't.
"... Fuck, did I mess up?" He said as Moxxie snickered, helping him undo his leg. "Oh, Satan, Mox, this is might be my awakening."
"What?!" Moxxie stepped back in disgust. "Sir!"
"I'm just pulling your leg, Mox… Or, are you?"
"Sir."
Obito rolled his eyes as Octavia chuckled.
They went through several more stretches before reaching the dancing portion of their class.
Obito, Octavia, and Millie were fine compared to the others who groaned on the floor.
"Aren't you all… murderers? How are you so out of shape?" Octavia asked in confusion, headphones off her head. "My dad said you do decent work, what happened?"
"H-Hun, let me tell you," Blitzo said as he got up. "I've contorted every way for things other than my job."
"... Why?"
"It's an art."
Millie chuckled a bit as she helped Moxxie stand. "Feelin' fine, hun?"
"Y-Yeah, I've never had to stretch like that before," Moxxie said. "Still, Ms. Octavia might have a point, I probably should be in better shape for our job."
"It never hurts to be," Obito said as he walked over to Loona who groaned against the floor, crouching down to raise a brow at her growling. "Do you want to be picked up or not?"
"..." Loona actually contemplated staying there before groaning. "Fucking, fine," she grunted as he nodded.
Then she was lifted off the floor with ease by powerful arms before being set onto the floor.
A slight stumble had a hand on her shoulder that steadied her.
"I'm starting to think you might need to rest for a bit," Obito said with some concern as Loona processed what had just happened.
Then she blushed like a goddamn idiot and her tail wagged, and her mind replayed his arms around her back-
"Fuck me."
"Excuse me?"
"What, nothing!" She said with a growl that she froze at doing before facepalming. "I'm good, I'm good, I'll go and sit against a wall for a bit," Loona said, thankful that she could, at the very least, walk without a lot of issues.
"Alright, take it easy," Obito said, taking his hand off her shoulder to turn back to the smirking group. "What the hell are you all smirking at?"
"Something funny," Octavia said with a big smile while Mille and Moxxie chuckled. "Though, I guess this is the only way it'd go for you."
"I don't follow."
"It's fine, Obito."
"Man, talk about subtlety," Blitzo said with some conflict. "Well, as I did say before, you're literally not on my 'Shit Person' list, so this could be good for Loonie."
"I reiterate, I do not follow."
"Eh, it's fine," the tall imp said and Obito's eyebrow twitched something fierce. "Ooh, I'm liking the ferocity, that'd be good too."
"... I'm done trying to follow, let's just practice," Obito said with a flat expression as Moxxie smiled and Millie smirked.
"You'll get it," they said and Obito raised a brow.
"... Well, if you say so."
The first thing the group was told was about rhythm as demonstrated by Obito and Mimzy.
"It's all about feeling your 'tune'," Mimzy said as she transitioned into air flares while Obito performed an air cancel, the two of them coming to a stop by one another. "When you beginners have gotten into your groove, try one of these two moves. Obito, go."
Obito nodded before performing an air flare that was followed up by a windmill.
"These are only two moves of many that breakdancers claim and alter for themselves," Mimzy said as Obito kipped up to his feet. "Over time, you'll gain the flexibility to do all of the others but that takes many exercises. We only had you stretch before this so don't hurt yourselves too much. "
The group nodded as a demon by the jukebox changed the song to a more energetic rap with faster lyrics.
"Those of you who've been here for a while, you know what to do," Mimzy said with a smile as the students went to work. "It's nice to do this, Obito, I not only get my own workouts in to teach but I also get to look at bodies like yours," she said with little filter.
"I'm noticing that everyone is saying I'm some sort of attraction," Obito snorted as she chuckled. "I do get that I'm… fit, I just don't see what else could attract so many others. My bosses have made more than enough comments about my physique."
"It's called, you're an odd demon," she said before patting his bum. "Now, get out there and try out some long to short to long combos. Really get them interested in the moves. Double barrels, air flares to flares, throw in a double coin drop into a flip. Make it spectacular, my man."
Obito hummed before going towards the middle of the floor.
Loona pulled her knees up and watched him the entire time, eyes focusing on his midriff as he went into a combo of moves.
His little hops, his twists, his hand holding strong under his body, and all the other little things about his movements were captured by her eyes.
'Okay, so he's kind of cool,' she grunted before sighing. 'That doesn't mean what happened didn't happen.'
The hypocrisy was noted and ignored.
"Not much of a dancer?" Came a voice from her side and Loona blinked before turning to see Octavia. "I was curious what you were thinking about," the owl demon asked as she sat down. "Don't like break dancing?"
"... Nah, I don't really care," the wolf girl said. "I'm just getting my bearings, didn't expect your servant to be so… well-loved, I fucking guess."
"Hmm, yeah, Obito doesn't really think about it, I think," Octavia said as she watched the goat demon flip up before corkscrewing into a landing. "He's told me a lot about his previous life and he says that this is the least violent years he's ever had."
"... Wait, what? In hell?" Loona asked in disbelief. "I mean, he told us he was some ninja monster or something but, it's hell, how the hell is he even able to say that?"
"I mean, he did try to take over his old world."
"Yeah, I guess," Loona said with a raised brow as Obito chatting up several demons whose hands began to reach out before his tail whipped them away with not a change in his expression. "... He's weird."
"I know, it's amazing."
"Snrt," the Hellhound snorted before getting up. "Alright, alright, let's see what my… boss is doing," she said as the two of them turned their heads to see Blitzo stuff to the floor by his horns. "... Yeah, that seems about right."
Octavia laughed.
"So, these guys have been getting all this good shit the entire time?!" Loona barked in disbelief, food on her paper plate gone and licked clean. "Dammit, am I really about to come back here for the food?"
"Yes," Octavia said with a chuckle as she was close to finishing her own rice and beans with sausage. "It's gotta be the seasoning because I know rice & beans and this is far above it," she said as she took her last bite. "Mm!"
"And you work for royalty," Mimzy said with a chuckle as Obito finished cleaning the large pot of beans and rice. "Goodness, no wonder."
"Hmph, I'm glad my skills worked well with hell's ingredients," Obito said with a chuckle. "Or is it that hell would mirror a lot of normal food? I'll never know."
"All I know is this shit rocks!" Blitzo stated as Moxxie nodded and Millie scarfed down more of her food. "Thank Satan, I was alive for this!"
"Hmph, well, this is good to have for the coming days," a male fox demon said as his brotherly counterpart shivered, gaining their attention. "It's coming in two weeks' time, isn't it?"
The air grew contemplative and Obito took several seconds to realize what he meant.
"Ah… The Purge, right, I forget sometimes, Razzle," he said with a hum. "We typically just buckle down in the manor and the day is spent in the lower sections. You know how those Exorcists are, they're only as dangerous as they can see. They barely enter buildings of demons for some reason but it's to our advantage."
"Hmph, there's a bunker in the building we're in," Moxxie explained. "All the floors just group in there for the whole day but we also board up everything just in case," he said, picking at his food. "This will be one of my few times being up and dealing with it."
"Man, it must be nice in the lower rings," Mimzy said with a sigh. "The Pride Ring's always at the forefront of everything and it gets annoying after a while."
"Well, at least you have your business," Octavia said with a frown. "I've only ever seen them from the security cameras."
"For us, it was when we worked with the madam," Razzle said as his counterpart nodded.
"With her, it's not as dangerous but we all still stay within the bunker," he said.
"I can understand, Dazzle, it's just life here," Mimzy said.
"Here, here."
In the locker rooms, Obito rolled his neck as he and the other demons got changed.
Well… half of them were while the other half were looking at him expectantly along with Blitzo and Moxxie.
"You all are the worst," Obito said before stripping off his top by pulling it off his head. "There, alright?" He said as he peeled the sticky top off.
Defined muscles seemed to carve themselves onto his front, powerful pectorals were the most notable and then he walked towards the showers and the real prize was there.
An outstanding back that bore intense musculature and seemed to consist of steel that formed a demonic goat's skull with the grooves and curves.
Obito had always seemed thick in the sides and the striations on him made that apparent.
"Christ on a stick, I bet you could grind bullets on those," Bltizo said as his tongue fell out of his mouth. "My God."
Moxxie blushed at the sight of them while Razzle chuckled.
"He's a real pleasure to know, especially as another goat demon," the goat demon with horns, wings, and a dragon's tail said. "Like, we've seen goat demons but then there's him."
"Ain't that the truth," Dazzle said, holding the same features as his brother, both of them sporting red fur and manes with him sporting a lighter shade. "Like, what must his true form look like?"
The two imps looked at one another. "Huh, I do wonder but with how much I know, I don't care!"
The showers began running and the groups rushed in to join him.
"For the love of, get your own stalls!"
~NRK~
He, Octavia, and the IMP Crew traveled to the center of Pentagram City.
Obito wearing a similar outfit to his workout wear but with a black cloak bearing red clouds on instead of a top for his upper half.
Octavia wore her usual outfit and was currently trading social media with Loona, the Hellhound, and her coworkers back in their normal attire for work.
"I know your royalty and all that but man your follower count is insane!" Loona said in disbelief as she eyed the 10 million number on the owl demon's Hellagram page. "Styx and bones!"
"Hehe," Octavia grinned before ushering her closer, eyes flicking to Obito who was chatting with the imps. "I also made a page for Obito when I could and it's hilarious," she said as she went to the account.
Loona's eyes widened at the sight of a shirtless goat man for the profile picture before looking at the infor-?!
"The actual fuck?" The Hellhound balked at the 25 million follower count. "H-How is he not swamped every time he's outside!?" She whispered hotly even as she trailed over a picture of his demonic back. 'I'd grind myself on those.'
"The comments are probably the same as your thoughts," Octavia said and Loona blushed a bit before grumbling as she looked at them. "And you'll see some… interesting posters, too."
"... No way…" Loona realized in disbelief as she saw… the princess?! "W-Wait, the princess… pornstars… Pop stars?!" Her mouth dropped as her eyes looked up at Obito and back to the comments. "W-What?"
Yo, you down for a threesome? Said one particular comment before it was followed by far more lusty ones that seemed to up the debauchery.
"Yeah, Obito's online presence can be summed up as cooking and weaponry, so he has no idea about social media," the owl girl said with a smirk as she put her phone away. "Like, no lie, I've hidden lots of invitations and job deals from him so he doesn't realize I made him one. Then my parents will find out and I'm sure they'd love it, it'd be so embarrassing," she uttered with a blush as Loona's eyebrow raised.
"Geez, what, are you in love with the guy?" She asked and the owl girl shot her an odd look.
"... Obito's been around since I was a child," Octavia found the words. "He's been the best servant in the manor ever since he was hired and, whenever my parents would fight, I'd find him and he'd teach me small things," she smiled. "Survival things, weapon things, how to read people things. Even then, as we got used to him, my parents seemed to have found a special bond with him… A-And I think I did too."
"... So, what, you think of him like a brother or something?"
"... M-Maybe something more than that?" Octavia admitted with embarrassment as Loona balked. "I mean… When my dad was busy, my mom being visited by my aunties and family friends… Obito was always around and since he had the ability to copy himself, he was always around. I guess since he's been around for so long I… I just see him that way."
"... Hmph, I can't say I'm not similar… in a way," Loona admitted, getting a tilt of the head from the owl demon, their ride coming to a stop soon. "Blitzo… he adopted me, he's not actually my 'boss' boss, as weird as that sounds."
"Wait, really?" Octavia blinked that, holding a finger to her beak. "That's… odd. That doesn't seem like normal behavior for a demon, much less an imp, no offense. It's just… I don't know, I don't really think about this kind of stuff like that."
"Yeah, tell me about it."
As their box came to a stop, Obito nodded, stretching his senses for any negative actors.
"We're good, come on," he said as he walked out and waited for the others, eying a slender male demon by the elevator.
He had on a top hat, held four black-colored legs that reminded Obito of a horse, and had three long white spikes coming out of the back of his white coat.
"Nice morning we're having," the man said, lifting his head so Obito could see his human-shaped face that was pure white and flat.
He only had one large eye which contained within its white-irised, black-sclera having, depths a pair of pointy crosses that rotated each time he blinked.
"It's evening," Octavia said as the man's head turned to her. "..." She felt her hands twitch before grunting as Loona stepped forward.
"Yeah, yeah, there's no show here, old man," the Hellhound said and the demon chuckled before walking onto the elevator.
"Yes, it was rather rude of me," he said, tipping his hat to the group. "Take it easy there, you all, it's only a matter of time," Obito heard him whisper as he disappeared into the elevator's depths.
"... That was… peculiar," Moxxie noted with some concern. "... am I the only one who felt like he was threatening Ms. Octavia?"
Octavia's eyes widened and her head snapped back to the elevator's tube-like shaft. "What?" She caught his gaze.
And between each of the man's cross quadrants, pupils appeared, looking like a multiplication table of eyes.
A hand rested on her shoulder and she jumped before looking at Obito, the goat man's eyes narrowed.
"... Octavia-ojou-sama, for the next couple of days, I don't want you out of my sight."
"Agreed."
~NRK~
When their trip finished, the two of the Ars Goetia household returned with their news.
Stella frowned in her white dress with faded pink at the edges and black accents, her tail feathers twitched beneath the long skirt portion of the outfit and her crown tilted along with her head, her hands folded on the table.
Stolas didn't look much better, his eyes narrowed and his mouth set in a line. "This is concerning news… are you sure?"
"... I-I think so," Octavia said as Obito nodded.
"He said 'it's only a matter of time'," Obito recited with a grunt. "And… I don't think he was talking about the Purge."
"What could he want? While Octavia will rule, in time, as currently only Stolas, and I by proxy, have anything of worth," Stella said with a huff. "Still… a four-legged man with a hat… that description is… w-why does that sound familiar?" She asked the table in confusion.
"..." Stolas frowned as he twirled his hand before a book appeared in it, the owl man opening it up with a discerning stare. "That description is familiar to I, as well, and I know I've read about it in the library."
Octavia frowned. "But all that's within the library are books on plants, astrology, and war journals, what else is in there?" She asked and both her parents' faces went neutral. "Mom? Dad?"
"It's not wrong to think that, Octavia," Stella said with a frown. "That said, we're still demons of royalty, we serve the Great Lucifer and Satan and can be called on, at times, to handle situations with other individuals."
"In time, you will learn," Stolas said with a frown. "For now, know this, our studies, we hide certain books and documents from you for you're too young for them. That said, we also have a book that holds concerning information," he said with a sigh, sending the book he'd summoned away… before retrieving another that Octavia blinked at.
Obito's eyes narrowed at the thick black cover, across its surface was a golden skull surrounded by several symbols… no, the emblems of the royal houses.
"... What is that book?" Octavia was intrigued.
"Obito knows," Stella explained with a sigh.
"Do you remember the concept of my bingo book, Octavia-ojou-sama?" Obito asked and the teen nodded before looking at the black book in shock. "Yes, that book contains the names, pictures, profiles, and bounty of demons who've essentially gotten out of hand."
"True," Stolas said as he opened a lock at its side… with his finger? "This book, Via, is not to be opened by the eyes of immature royalty," he said with a smile. "The book has a sort of addictive spell to it for those whose power can not handle its depths. This, Octavia, is our Black Bible."
As he said it, he opened it and Octavia blinked as the group was surrounded by golden pages.
"Via, remember, you are not to look at them," Stolas explained with a frown. "The Black Bible is not a small book, it is a book that has millions upon millions of pages within it. Most of those pages have been dealt with… but you won't know which and you will be dragged into a world of constant page turning that could very well kill you."
Stella's eyes flickered about the pages with an understanding that Octavia didn't have before Obito placed his hands over the young demon's eyes.
"One day, you will learn, I promise," he whispered and the girl nodded, holding onto his forearms.
"... Ah, there it is," Stolas said with a frown as his eyes flashed and he grasped a paper, the rest of the pages returning to the item within his hands before he locked it away once more before sending it back to their library with a flick of the wrist. "Barkem… that's his name," he said as he turned the page and shook it twice.
A form faded into existence before the three others, even Stella looked surprised by this function.
Obito's hands fell away and his young charge's eyes widened at the sight of him.
"It's the same, down to a 'T'," she said and Stolas frowned.
"... That's not good," he said with a frown as he looked at the figure. "If that is true, that means he's killed everyone sent after him who meant to do as such. And you said he was in the Ring of Gluttony?"
"Yes," Obito said. "He was going up the elevator, though. Where was he going?" He wondered out loud.
"... Odd…" Stella said after a moment with her chin on her fist, her eyes slowly widening. "... Stolas… how is he using the elevator between the Rings?"
"...?!" Stolas's eyes widened. "No…"
~NRK~
"Boss man," Barkem said with a smile as he walked towards a large building within the Ring of Greed, a walkie-talkie in his hands. "I've met the kid and she had her butler with her, is that going to be a problem?"
-No, it won't- Came a voice over the phone that always left chills in Barkem's veins. -We've checked all their security, their bodyguards, traps, and even their doors, they don't have enough protection to stop us-
"Right," Barken entered into the lobby before moving to a corner of the desolate building. "So, I got that dumbass Pentious, Mariem, and her fuckboy Red Ceasar, fuck it, I'll call him Ceasar salad because that man is dumber than fruit and I hate fruit," the man said with a grimace.
-I take it trying to approach some of the other Overlords didn't go well?-
"The Triple Vs weren't interested, Rosey didn't trust me from the moment I went in and I didn't even try Alastor and the others. The others because I can't find 'em and Alastor… Oh, he's bad news."
-More so than that craziness the princess is trying?- The voice asked and Barkem let out a bark of laughter.
"Hell no! Ain't no one like that dumb bitch from Lucifer's balls! That kid is more deluded than I thought! No, he's crazy but not that crazy, he's just as powerful as his reputation says and that's an issue. I'm sure if we had him we'd be able to pull this off but that's not in the cards."
-Very well, there's a man who died recently, he's been going on tirades looking for people to kill his former best friend, some dumbass, go and get him to make robots for us. He's in the Pride Ring-
"Kind of cutting it close, aren't we?" Barkem asked with a frown. "The Purge is only two weeks away and you want robots? If we want to destroy 'em, wouldn't it be a good idea to just rally up some stupid fucks?"
-Can you promise them payment that would make them do it?-
"..."
-Exactly, the fact remains, with Pentious and this odd man, we can gain a big enough army in time. What we need are able hands-
"Alright… I hope this works out so I can hurl that bitch Stolas right into the crosshairs of a few spears."
~NRK~
Finally got around to writing this fic.
So, yeah, this is an Obito x Loona fic, I've got ideas for another few pairings for him in another story idea with both Millie's sister, Stella, Blitzo's sister, and Hazbin Hotel proper.
For now, I'll do as I always do, dip in and out of random fics while updating one 'Main' one.
So, I hope you guys liked this one, I'm not going to really go 'off script' with this crossover more so because I don't have enough material to work with and don't want to wait.
So, we'll get this little arc before actually hitting the pilots/episodes of both shows though we get Angel and Alaster's 'comics' and the beginning pilot for Hellavu boss.
Yes, with a competent servant who's mature, not an idiot, naive, nor is he ignorant to how shit things can be, the Goetia we know and love can be very amicable.
Stolas has a trusted confidant and so does Stella with both having varying degrees of sexual attraction to Obito, especially since they've seen him with his shirt off before.
Octavia gets a friend/teacher/brother/father figure/parent and, with his involvement, her life wasn't nearly as dysfunctional as it is in the show but she also understands that that thin line is based on Obito's existence and we see that she also depends on him for good reason.
Loona's on a rough road of 'taking Obito in' but she's coming around to him, somewhat. Lord knows what'll happen when we meet Tex… a curious dude that guy.
So, also, yeah, Obito's 'met' Charlie twice, once when she was still single and enjoying 'Hellogram' (Instagram substitute if it wasn't obvious) and another when Angel first gets recruited. He's got a bit more atonement to do, for himself, but he might end up there one day if he doesn't change as a person in the future.
Finally, not only have we met Pentious but he's a part of something bigger… for now. And the Purge is on the horizon, those who don't know, Hazbin Hotel's pilot starts after this Purge so that's two weeks away if we consider Angel's 'I've been clean for two whole weeks!' line.
Now, where do I want to take this story? The thing is, I'd love to keep it going but that requires more episodes and Hazbin to actually be released so we'll have a long hiatus eventually.
Ciao, see you all in the next one.
Words:
~NRK Out~
