ACCESS DENIED
ACCESS DENIED
ACCESS DENIED!
Moxxie twitch as they are sitting on the bed. "Come on work with me."
ACCESS DENIED!!
"Prick." Push their glasses up to rub their face. Felt like the CHECK box wanted to flip them off as well.
This was so irritating but no. They had to be curious. Or was bored. No, they are lucky to even be bored these days. Especially this week with work, Stolas messaging, a few errands to finish up and spend some time with the others outside of work. Well, let's just say there is another bar that IMP is now banned from.
It sucks anyway.
Just like whatever this is denied them access! This isn't the second time they had tried to mess with this. Kept trying again and again. Only gets a big fat ACCESS DENIED response.
ACCESS DENIED!
Moxxie flips off the CHECK box. "Give me something here."
ACCESS DENINED...Please stop.
Moxxie stare a little longer and sighs. The CHECK box is now gone. Falls on their back to stare up at the ceiling. Stare but their mind was wandering. They were concerned about when the word please is used. Sure, could rip it apart till they get this memory back.
Memories were becoming important to Moxxie. Well, not every memory as Error. Besides not forgetting all they learn, experience and the pain from learning. Wouldn't mind forgetting all the voices, death threats, insults, vicious barbs, wounds and well you get the drift. But the time before that when F-U-Fate ripped them away from whatever home they had. A home no longer should be called home when Fate told them it was gone. Erased.
That was their memory, nobody else. Nobody to pick around and take away.
Yet, this was a bit worrying.
Was this memory that bad?
DING! DING! DING!
Lift their phone over their head off the alarm to get ready for work. Along with another note about what today is too.
An interview meeting with Esme.
Then a text message from Blitz they will be late to pick everyone up. Sent a small reminder to Blitz about the interview.
Wonder why they're going to be late this time?
Blitz, Stolas laying in the very, messy bed very awkwardly with wide eyed looks.
"Blitzy we suck at this."
"You're the one who did the sucking." Look away from the deadpanned face. "I mean I'm not complaining."
"Same."
Only a week of the divorce went by.
The pair of them were just talking over the phone at the time. Will hear little things from Loona about Octavia side. Sounds like the teen having ups and downs of it. But she seems content. During that week he went over to hang out with her. His daughter can be sweet in her own way even if she denies it. Along with Stolas talking about Puppet and they were happy about the divorce. Stolas still get some nasty well text messages from Stella and about ready to block her. Then the two just talk about general bullshit stuff.
Stolas were just happy. Honestly, the IMP founder just felt happy for him too.
Last night Stolas just offered Blitz to just hang out at their home. That is what it is only supposed to be. Just friends hanging out. Talk about a possible getting out for a party. Make up, truthful, excuses how Puppet will not go to such a thing. Even if he cried about it. Along with no Blitzy you're not going to try and convince them to come.
The pair should have watched the alcohol better as the fun talk did turn serious. A cry, deep emotional mess. It was different from the talk in the office about a possible relationship if the pair want it or not. Or just friendship. Some things said that were hurtful but deep settled fears ready to have burst open. Then soon we were locking lips with the other.
Which resulted in where both of them are now at.
"Blitz."
"Yes, Stolas."
"What are we going to do now?"
Blitz was very silent. His head was still pounding. Can say it means shit. That it was just drunk sex as the two of them were stressed for a while. Hell Blitz try to have like one-night stands and just forget. Can get anyone like he told Fizz. But he was so damn busy along with personal shit. Now extra personal shit to try to work with Fizz with on what happen.
Yet, that little selfish part urging him to do it. Just go for it. Don't think about the worst that can happen and let those doubts hit another time.
"I... I don't know Stolas." Turn to look at him. "Rather think about it. But let's be honest. The longer we two stubborn morons think about it. Going to last a long time. Then come back here. Which can be either good or bad."
"That very observant." Stolas picked himself up a bit. A small twitch from the soreness below.
"I can be observant." Blitz huffed with his arms crossed.
"I believe that." Gave them a warm smile. Reach out to touch their shoulder. "May I make a suggestion?"
"I'll listen."
"Let's give it a shot."
Turn to look at him with a wide eye expression. "Wait. Wait. Hold your horses. What kind of shot? Stay in the dark shot or you not going to feel guilty if the pair of us go out in public shot?"
"I," Took a small breath. "I don't know."
Of course. Still ashamed to be seen in public with an imp like him.
"But I hope we can discuss it together. You know boundaries. There are certain places after studying we can go together. Like nothing too fancy if we went out. If it's clubs, I wouldn't mind just maybe a little heads up so I know what to wear. I was overdressed last time in that well 'business' scenery. But I was so happy to wear something of my choic-Blitz what wrong?"
Blitz was just stunned by what he was hearing. How wrong he was. Even if their voices told him to not believe it. Not get their hopes up. This will end in disaster and you know it! Deserved to be alone.
"Let's talk about it when I'm off from work."
"You. You mean it?" Perked up with wide eye expression.
"Yeah, we do need to talk about this. Okay. So, don't starting spouting shit on your sinstagram or pile my phone up with your bird need fantasy."
"Deal!"
"It's just a date. It doesn't mean were, were- "
"Boyfriends or partners yet." Stolas smiled at him. "I understand. We do need to discuss a few things. Some maybe later on I do want to tell you about but till were comfortable."
"Sure, I'm comfortable with anything."
"So- "
"No, on the sex voice recording messages. I finally got my phone wipes with all that."
"Aww I was hoping to listen back to save ideas."
"Jeez you're needing."
"You didn't stop either."
"Fuck you."
"That you did too marvelously!"
He can't believe he is actually doing this. Then grab his phone off the counter to recheck hos messages. While Stolas stretched a bit. A low groan.
Right the interview reminder.
Time to, hopefully, not make Loona friend cry if they don't get the job.
"Blitz."
A low muttered not looking at them.
"Blitz stops it."
Didn't stop muttering. Eyes lower down further to not look at them.
"Blitz." Moxxie arms crossing as they are standing by his side. "She good."
"You're good too."
"This isn't about me but a possible a new employee." Glance at the closed office door. On the other side was Esme after finishing up the interview. Now waiting and possibly talking with Loona. "She got her work together."
"What if she messed up? Can't have a mess up here. Finally, I have been out of the red for the last eight months. What if it goes back now? Wrong number? Someone not happy? Or some moron tried to not pay us- "
"They're going to be messed up. It's a new place. New scenery. New for everyone." Glance back at the resume
Blitz trying not to look back at her resume. Esme may be a year older than Loona. The hellhound does have some experience in the accounting field. Blitz did some of the questing. Well, it was questions they borrowed from Moxxie to give to Esme. Some of the answers he did understand. But certain others are flying over their head.
Moxxie was able to follow along. Write notes down. Just focus.
Esme is good. Just need to personally see it now. Along with the, possible, work development.
"New and change is fine being mixed in. If it works." Hands him the notepad. "Let her shadow me. See how it goes."
"That's not how hiring should work."
"Says the guy just shoving me a job pamphlet at them."
"That was different!"
"Sure." Roll their eyes. "If it works out. She can get started with work. If it doesn't well, she doesn't get the job."
Blitz groans as he leans back against his chair. Rub his face a few times. He was still a bit tired after talking with Stolas last night along with this morning. Along with coughing up feathers again. One of the things he doesn't miss.
"Fine! Will give her a chance. I'll let you handle it but answer by the end of the week if she can do it or not."
"That's a bit unfair but fine." Open the door and look at her. "Esme congrats he like you."
"Stop making false lies!"
Close the door shut behind.
Blitz stared at the door. Soon he was on his phone to text while muttering to himself. This was going to be a long week.
"Woah. You're really organize." Esme whistles at the different spread sheets.
Moxxie shrugged a bit showing her the different folders. "Do keep a copy of the hard drive if these get updated. Lock up too."
"What about the papers for all this?"
"There in the file cabinets I'll show you in a bit. Getting Blitz to sign the real challenging part."
"Hehe Loona mention that."
"Bet she mentions a lot of things. Now right here are the records on certain clients. Occasionally will do a pay up half and half depending the amounts of kills, along with deadline- "
The three girls watching out the window as Moxxie shows Esme around at the desk. Began to pull out like the current bookkeeping journal being used. Esme offered the chair behind the desk while Moxxie grabbed another one to sit with them.
The two of them just seem chill working, learning and giving the rundown of the place.
"Fatty better makes sure Blitz hire her." Loona clutches her phone. One part is pleased to have a friend to work here. Will make it manageable. The other parts like worry if Blitz just embarrassed her. His attitude in general is being a boss.
"Loona everything should be fine."
"If she good at her work." Sallie rolled her eyes at Loona while she growls. "Look I'm just saying while Blitz will hire just about anyone they like."
"True he hired your three."
"Watch it he was lucky with us three." Millie sent a look. "But Sallie is right. You think our folks would hire just anyone?"
"He hired well him." Not going to say Striker.
"Yes, but here the thing. He knew what he was doing. Didn't complain. Didn't bitch. Knew what to do. Plus, not like we asked hey are your former assassin. Swell. Now go pick up that barrel."
Right, it's still hell. Assassin job or not. Can still blend in with others. Many may not care if you kill or not. As long as you don't bring trouble to that job. Or never knew till the last minute.
"Okay fine he was good at that. But Esme good too."
"But Esme isn't Moxxie friend. She your friend." Millie shakes her head and sighs. "Moxxie going to make the final decision if she can do it or not. Can handle the responsibility of this business. Can handle Blitz when to say no along with his antics."
"Especially his antics."
Moxxie points out certain documents. The imp nods in agreement with an answer Esme seems to give them.
"So, what do you do about if they give you issues about signing papers?"
"I got a pocket note book of ideas to use on Blitz."
"Oh, you're good."
"No, I just don't like paperwork time wasted."
"Can I add something in it if a trick of mine work?"
"Go right ahead."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Done!
Gotta another on the team! Good luck to Esme.
Loona did give Esme a head up to not touch Moxxie unless she wants her ears busted. Along with minor stuff about her teammates like a heads up. Same wit Blitz.
That's right! Blitz and Stolas are going to give this a chance.
Yes, Moxxie very paranoid when it about their memories.
