【𐂃】 ❝ WHY WOULD I DO THAT? 'N let someone else hire him? Not a chance! HE WORKS FOR ME. Mox can burn down I.M.P as much as he likes — we've insurance now. ❞

"If you keep bringing up that fire that happened years ago in front of people, I swear-"

" Get em' Loona. " The fallen cherub just grinned smoke leaving his lips a cigarette between his hooked fingers.

☪ CHOMP! the hellhound swooped the squirrel's scruff with her fangs. immediately shaking it like a rag doll. sending blood everywhere revealing her predatory instincts in full display.

" Loona, I ain't really wanting to get into politics but when was the last time Lucifer did anything for us? Him, his kid, his wife? All they ever did was party with Goetia and tax us. Satan has always been the center of our civilization. Our food? All him, our power? All him. Mammon's infrastructure houses us, Bel's hospital heals us.

I ain't about to say the upper class are as good to us as I'd like. But look around? What problems in Hell exist that didn't come from insecure goetia traditions, bolstered by the Morningstars and sinners? You know that pound you grew up in? That place was supposed to be funded by taxes Lucifer wrote off so Paimon could build a castle for his nephew.

I don't want you to be just like me, or whatever. But I care about you, and I don't want you or your dad throwing your life away for a cause that does not care about you. C'mon girl. I ain't ever gonna hurt you. Never. But I don't think I can stop others from doin so if you stay. "

He looked at Blitzo.

☪ HE WASN'T GETTING IT yeah he had a few valid points but. . . two wrongs don't make a right. Lucifer had a family, despite being "shit" as his job. . . he didn't deserved the death penalty. Loona could only imagine what his daughter was going through. . . to feel as if the world had failed her. how cruel the afterlife was on the youth. it wasn't fair. . . none of this was right! But before she could get a word in, his mentioning of the pound caused Loona to stiffen on cue. eyes dilating with pinned back ears.

❝ I BELIEVE YOU i really do but. . . slaughtering people for a better future? can't you hear yourself? Yeah, this kind of shit gets messy. . . dads specifically fuck up. . . like, all the time. That doesn't mean they don't care. They're always "trying" and that counts more than you think. ❞

she also gave Blitz a glance, who seemed very uneasy with the subject at hand. the imp loved his daughter's unwavering boldness — feeling proud of her, yet, he let her deal with the complications. mainly keeping an eye on his old man.

❝ I GET THAT it's bigger than any of us. That's the thing though. . . it has ALWAYS been bigger, yet we get by this Hellhole just fine. I wouldn't of met my current dad if it weren't for Lucifer. so, i'm sorry, I can't follow through. I care about you too, like, a whole lot. . . but if you can't listen to reason I'll be forced to— ❞ fight she clenched her hands into fists. baring fangs as she stomped towards his proximity. grabbing Tex by their chest pelt before tugging them low enough to lock eyes with. angrily gazing for a second or two before she went for the kiss. only prolonging for a few seconds before she almost immediately pulled back.

" Girlfriend? But Bee and me ain't...?"

He didn't expect her to get so heated. Tex would listen to her, trying not to appear agitated and to keep him men from getting up in her face. Truth of the matter is they were friends and he cared about her, and he never wanted to see harm come to another hound anyway. They'd need to be careful about this.

" Why would you and him want to live here? Satan and Mammon are investin' in homes for all of us, looking to turn Pride into a buffer zone between Hell and Heaven. That way when they come for us the sinners are on the front lines, not us."

He'd offer her a hand.

☪ ❝ OH YEAH? and how many "lowborns" are going to get sacrificed for this so-called "safe haven". maybe you've been on the winning side for too long that you failed to see how much bloodshed has already been spilled. ❞ she huffed with crossed arms. granted, she was a little happy to see the girlfriend retort gone past him but. . . . still, she wasn't sold in the least.

" Yo yo, what is going on here."

The other hell hounds let out a few soft growls as their leader showed up, wielding an impressive looking firearm. It was Vortex of course, he'd long been close to the leadership of Gluttony, and with Bee being engaged to Satan and her mom seemingly turning sides Tex had been chief among the dragon's enforcers in the field.

Still, he didn't expect to see Loona and that disaster she called her dad.

" Loona? What ya doin here girl? You know there is a place for us hounds right? Don't gotta be tucked away like this."

He'd get just a bit closer to whisper to her.

☪ ❝ TEX?!? ❞ she blurted out with a puppy yelp. one reunion after another, it was almost hard to keep up! Blitz && Loona both lowered their defenses. trying to make heads or tails of their newfound dilemma.

❝ WHAT AM I DOIN' HERE? this is my home. are you siding with the Sinners now? what gives?! ❞ although she made her barks known, her tail remained between her legs. . . betraying her innermost emotions. she didn't want to fight him but — she also wasn't going to backstab her dad. She would rather die than double-cross her family.

no sooner her tail became bushy, fur raising on ends as she pushed Vortex's chest. defiantly standing her ground.
