ALGOTH

Algoth works in the North faction as 2nd in command. He’s Grimm’s trusted right-hand man.

Algoth has both of his lips painted in his mask.

He usually prefers Grimm as sir, not really using his name.

He likes to do paperwork, and offers often to handle Grimm’s paperwork for him, especially when Grimm is busy.

"No worries, hunny. I just got back too, like 10 minutes ago because of similar issues."

After she kisses him, he looks past her and notices the takeout boxes spread out on the counter. "Takeout tonight?"

"Yeah?" She looks at him, confused by his surprised tone. "It was delivered right after I got home. I thought you ordered it."

"With how tired I am, I wouldn't be surprised if I did and just forgot because of all the paperwork I had to type up twice."

Pearl gave him a pittying look, then pushed him towards the dining table. "Go sit. I'll bring you a plate."

Dinner is great, especially since neither had to cook it. Afterwards, they curl up on the couch together for some much needed decompressing.

The moment was interrupted by an email from Algoth.

Grimm groans at the notification. "Fuck. I swear, if something happened to the paperwork again..." He opens the email. He glares at his phone. "Sonofabitch."

Curious, Pearl leans over to look at his phone.

INVOICE: $87.36 — — — — — The Bamboo Pantry $32.64 — — — — — — — — Service fee _________________________________________ $120.00 TOTAL NOTES: Happy Retrograde. Enjoy your dinner.

"What...?" Pearl pulls out her phone and looks up an astronomy chart. Mercury recently went retrograde; every other planet is either direct, or has been retrograde for quite some time already. While trying to figure out how Mercury's retrograde would warrant Algoth buying them dinner, something connects in her mind.

Pearl sits upright then intently goes through Mercury's chart, while flipping back and forth between the calender app. "Oh my gods... This totally happens every retrograde!"

"Hmm?"

"We always mess up our paperwork during the Mercury retrograde!" She groans and throws her head back against the couch. "How haven't I realized this before? How did Algoth realize it and not me?"

Algoth, sitting at home enjoy his night, completely uneffacted by Mercury's retrograde—possibly because he plans ahead to counteract any influence, or because Mercury know better than to affect him, or simply can't (who knows?)—smirks as he sees the pending deposit appear in his bank account.

Since you are their "best channel" to communicate, I thought it would be the best to ask from you. Sorry if this is offending or otherwise not pleasant ask! If you reply, thanks in advance! =OuO=

I need to draw more Grimmgoth :D Maybe for the Christmas special?

I can see Pearl doing all those options, depending on her mood. Well analyzed! Maybe for the first time, she just sits there with a smug grin and dares them to continue, while Grimm just wishes the ground would swallow him.

Ama and Awa are leading the West mainly by concentrating on the faction's image. Think about high brand businesses and how much work they do with branding. That's how they lead. They have gotten the leadership and 2nd in command positions directly from their father Agnus, after he retired as the West Faction boss. Agnus and Kahamet are friends so Ama and Awa have a close relationship with Kahamet.

Plague and Cure are fucking around and finding out the South faction leadership and 2nd in command. I don't know much about this yet but Plague does not care, everyone in South hates him and Cure is just trying to stay on the surface as a private citizen who knows nothing of Death-Head work. If Plague drowns, he will take Cure with him.

Rena and Dio are a good team but they work a lot individually. Dio cleans any messes in the East and foresees if anything would cause problem to Rena. He will deal with anything that is needed so that Rena doesn't have to trouble herself with that. Rena concentrates on her own job and utilizes Dio's help when needed but otherwise, Rena trusts that Dio can handle his job as the 2nd in command without her input well.

I think we're all sleeping on this ship. Does the ship name of Grimm x Algoth turn into Grimmgoth?
