Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Hounds of Hell. Enjoy the 2200-Word chapter. I do not own Hazbin Hotel, Viziepop, and a few others do.
Lupin was eerily confused, not at Loona. No, he could tell the Hellhound was… Emotional… But he watched her actions with such an interest that it was boggling the brain, making him far beyond curious about what would occur if not for the ideas that had come as a result.
However? He would not say that it was without answers nor a good idea, a measure of peace to relax upon doing… There had to be SOMETHING to relax upon dealing with… Yet? He had found more ideas to find.
Loona glanced at him with a raised eyebrow, pausing only to think of what was going on and what would be forgiven… It meant little to the hulking brute of a Hellhound who had since closed his eyes to grab a few seconds of sleep.
"So… Aren't most hellhounds from Pride?" Moxxie asked as Lupin opened his eyes.
"I do not know. I always assumed different breeds inhabited different rings." Lupin said with a shrug.
"What, like with Imps and Succubi?" Moxxie asked to which Lupin hummed.
"I have always asked myself what an in is considering they do not seem that different from regular Imps…. No offense." Lupin said as Loona snickered.
"What?" Moxxie asked as Loona rolled her eyes.
"He called you an adult entertainer, dumbass," Loona said as Lupin tilted his head.
"I did not mean to," Lupin said.
"Ignore her, Loona makes everything sound like a jab at someone… Because she hates everyone and everything." Moxxie said as Lupin hummed.
"Hmm," Lupin said before looking at Moxxie. "So… I noticed Millie has a lot of knives and you seem to mostly carry guns… Does that imply you both do not have the skill at the other and compensate for the other?" Lupin questioned as Loona again snickered.
"No, it does not… We just both enjoy different skills." Moxxie said as Lupin nodded.
"Understandable. I just did not wish to get into a fight and deal with not knowing whom to help… As I would suggest? I will gladly support you if you find yourself overwhelmed, Moxxie." Lupin stated to which Blitz sighed.
"Great, another person who wants to suck his d***," Blitz stated as Lupin hummed.
"Manners are dead, sir," Lupin said as he cracked his fingers, his giant claws jutting from his fingers as he paused. "I like to fight and deal with problems in my way, Blitz… Trying to be nice is how I operate and I am honestly sorry you may find it offensive." Lupin stated before he smiled.
All Moxxie and Loona saw were rows of fang like teeth, daggers that could probably dice the flesh into ribbons and would cut through almost anything… It made so little sense to her it almost appeared to keep catching her off guard for now, an idea that would not seem to be over even as it ended for now and for good, not at all.
Loona only noticed a creature that could and would probably be able to crush her skull if he damn wished, twisting it in his teeth and breaking it. He was not that violent but Loona just saw razor-sharp teeth.
It was apparently what the others had seen as Lupin snapped his jaw shut and paused, thinking of what he was and what he could be. She did not know him but she wanted to as the hellhound paused, looking at the weapon he carried.
"I feel like a machine gun is a bit too much for me," Lupin said, remembering the gun was the size of his arm.
"Uh…" Loona said as she recalled the Hellhound was a soldier.
"Hmm?" Lupin asked, raising an eyebrow as he paused to himself before he relaxed.
There was just something to be done at the end of the day and it meant something else for now as he paused to relax. He looked over at them, tired and unwilling to do something and yet full of power as he had been.
She watched him tilt his head, reminding him that he was a soldier and nothing could or would stop him, it was an idea that meant little… And he would pause, relaxed for now and for good, utterly tired and such.
He did not know what else is going on and he did not wish to pause, simply unsure of it for now, and for good reason, he had a LOT more of it said and done that would end sooner or later… There was a LOT more to it.
Lupin simply rubbed at his snout, falling back against the wall, utterly tired for it now… The idea of it was going to be too easily thrown off and it would be utterly tiresome.
"Uh… You, ok?" Lupin asked, pausing to think for only a moment as he sighed, relaxing for now, and then looked to the ground.
Little did he know how she felt, little did he wish to relax for now and he would pause, tired again and again… He wished to keep growing more and more, he was paused, tired, unsure, unable to fight or react and so damn worn down that he felt off put.
The idea for it now seemed to be beyond him, he wanted to feel utterly off-put and utterly paused in demeanor.
It was ultimately an ending that would not be done and dusted, an idea that made him laugh or would laugh if he had known why it existed in the first place. Yet? Here he was, utterly tired and utterly worn.
The idea would not be over, not yet, not while he was still alive to relax and cut down upon for now and for good reason now, hopefully soon.
Lupin sniffed at the air. He had been too thrown off, too unwilling to deal with it for now… He had been too exhausted, too thrown for a loop, he had not been able to deal with such things… And even then? He could not have allowed it for now.
The pause he had on his mind, there was far too much on the mind as he clicked his fingers against one another… Loona paused as she watched him yawn, too exhausted by it all, too interested in something for now.
She looked over at him before she seemed to think of something, something that could not be done and dusted, she was too thrown off for now. He had a lot more to try and do.
"So… What exactly is the plan besides killing everyone? Last I checked? That is not something that assassins do." Lupin stated.
"Assassinate is… A very loose word." Moxxie stated.
"Ha, loose!" Blitz said before being punted by Loona.
"He means we kill a LOT of people," Loona stated to which she hummed. "People who kinda need to die and it means a lot of people who don't need to die get shot," Loona said.
"Sounds like merc work," Lupin said before he looked down at Moxxie. "I have a question. if you are going to snipe people… Do you plan on getting the round from them or are you leaving the shell casings there? Because I do not know if those can be traced or…" Lupin said.
"Honestly, I do not know. Sometimes I take them, sometimes I just leave them." Moxxie said.
"Smooth, Casanova," Loona said, kicking her feet up on the desk. "I thought you were supposed to be something special," Loona said.
"You a fighter, Loona?" Lupin asked as Loona blinked.
"Well. I kick some ass… If da-Blitz ever let me go on the damn mission." Loona stated.
"You… Know Hellhounds are physically as fast and strong as other demons, right? We kill humans very easily; Loona could probably rip someone's throat out with her pinkies." Lupin stated to which the hellhound blushed.
"Hey, I don't f**king pay you to talk s***," Blitz stated.
"I'm the one that signs the damn paychecks, old man…" Loona stated. "But he is right, we are giant walking monsters with teeth and claws. You think I cannot eat someone's damn face when I have these?" Loona asked, revealing her fangs.
Blitz said nothing, knowing that trying to argue with everyone would just turn against him because he was the only guy who did not want to back down there.
Lupin said nothing, guessing that he was poking a nerve and he had no intention of doing so. He had been willing to stand aside to let something crazy happen for now as she paused to try and deal with something for now as she seemed to deal with for now and wanted it all over.
There was a lot more to try and deal with an idea beyond the pale for now and she could not for now, she had a lot more to this for now. perhaps it was meant to be more adorable, perhaps it was just too to manage…
Something about it all seemed to be dealt with for now, this was all going according to plan. Their goals, their way of living… It was not something that could be dealt with for now… It meant something to happen, he would not let it stand, let it die for now.
Perhaps it would not mean anything. Lupin held up his weapon, checking the machine gun for any sort of disturbances or public scratches. He did not know what was going on, he did not know what was going to have happened.
"Where did you even get a machine gun?" Lupin heard.
"Some imp tried to rob me with it, one-eyed fellow… Odd, I did not think you needed a machine gun to rob a hellhound. Perhaps it is just how they want to act." Lupin said.
"So, you killed 'em?" Millie said.
"No, tossed them aside… If I wanted to end their life? I would have but I saw no reason to do so, it did not mean much to have ended their life so easily." Lupin said as he shrugged, not wishing to have done so.
There was something left, too much was to be left for now, this meant little to him as Loona looked at the hellhound who seemed too interested to have to do much.
"Tired?" Loona asked as Lupin nodded.
"Yes, you all?" Lupin asked before he sighed and looked downwards now. "I'm too tired to do anything now," Lupin said before he sighed and looked to the ground.
He knew more and more with each passing moment that Loona looked at him, his interest in her grew, she was odd for now. She would always be odd like that, it meant little to the Hellhound who looked ready to speak in it for now.
"There are a lot of things I do not know about… A lot." Loona said before she frowned.
Loona seemed only interested for the moment in what was happening with Lupin as the hellhound paused to put his rifle on his back, cracking up.
He had been too interested in what was going on as he cracked his fingers, looking downwards to the ground, there was something wrong here and he knew that more and more… Such ideas were to mean little to him with all of it said and done.
There was chaos on the path, the chaos which had thrown him astray… It meant little to the hellhound as he had chosen this path, one which had already been wrought with danger.
If this was the way he had to go? It was the way he would walk and travel… No more, and no less… Such things were beyond his choosing even if he had wanted them to have been… it meant little to him.
This pain was just too much, too chaotic to have dealt with it for now. That much he knew and would always have known it.
There was a lot more to try and deal with for now. He had been too interested in the next move which he had dealt with.
Lupin was too thrown off for now, he had been thrown around for now and looked to the ground. He had been too interested in he seemed to be thrown for a loop.
He had been too interested in what had been happening as he looked downwards that sort of pain to be denied for now as it came down to it at the end of the day.
He hadn't been able to relax… Not once could he have done it for now… He had been too focused on things he couldn't have dealt with otherwise for it at the moment.
Lupin checked the weapon and then slung it across his spine, taking a moment to crack his fingers as if he was going to fight soon.
He turned to Moxxie who had a rifle which he was busy fixing a few moments later.
"Haven't seen that model yet," Lupin stated, crossing his arms.
"It's custom." Lupin heard.
"Oh. Makes sense." Lupin said before he frowned. "I'm not a weapons expert so might you be able to help…?" Lupin asked.
"Uh… Maybe?" Moxxie asked to which he paused.
