hows this for AsmodeusAnon?
-
I dig it. He has a kind of otherwordly feel to him, like he doesn't really belong here. I think it's the eyes.
-
That works.
-
I like it. The jacket matches with the music star theme Verosika has in her outfit.
-------------------
>Moxxie's phone is also ringing
>seems like a couple of old "friends" have found his number
>they're wondering if he'll make a comeback, cause his songs are selling like hotcakes again
>shocked as he is by that, Moxxie's soon grinning from horn to horn
>seems like he's career has been revived
>Anon quickly steps in, and both he, Moxxie and Verosika plan out for the future
>they'll do an official album, covering some of Moxxie's and Verosika's biggest hits in their new, mixed genre, do a couple of new songs, and play a couple of evergreens
>with Anon acting as their agent, they secure a trusted label (one jointly owned by Asmodeus and Astaroth, to assure they won't get screwed over) to release it, and schedule recording for the following week
>they'll see where it goes from there - they may even get a short tour out of it, although both Moxxie and Verosika are adamant about not touring on Earth, which everyone can understand
>but the imp gets a second call as well
>it's from Mayberry, of all people!
>apparently, she'd become a teacher in a nearby combined school... And the faculty's been looking for a new band teacher for the high schoolers
>they're wondering of Moxxie could jump - if he has time to make recordings with a pop star, surely, he'll have the free time to teach the kids how to play some instruments
>overwhelmed, the marksman doesn't know if he should take the offer, or reject it - teaching had never occurred to him as a job, since he figured he won't have the patience for kids
>but, with all of these successes piling on him out of the blue, he feels drnk with confidence, and agrees for a trial, also next week

>behind him and Millie, Anon and Verosika exchange smiles
>the suubus met the sinner at a bar, sometime before meeting Anon, and the two had a short tryst, sharing their their personal tragedies (with Verosika being quickly overwhelmed by Mayberry's murder-sicide story, and how the sinner STILL seemed more well-adjusted than her)
-
>they remained in contact, even after Verosika settled with Anon (the two were actually planning to include Mayberry into a ménage à trois later on, if the teacher agreed), and, after they informed just what asshole Blitzo is, along with their violence-free plan of getting back it him, she was happily on board, and began to push the idea of hiring Moxxie among the faculty

>with a future career in either the music industry or teaching (or both) secured, Moxxie was out of the picture as well
>now, there was only one person left: Millie
>she obviously enjoyed working for I.M.P., and putting her violence to good use, so while she would've been happy with Moxxie finding a job he relished in, she wouldn't be happy just as a housewife, and they couldn't let her stay at I.M.P.
>the obvious choice would've been to have her hired by the same school as a combined martial arts and self-defense teacher, but such a position wasn't available yet
>again, Mayberry was doing her best to push the idea, and her clout as one of the faculty's best teachers, and an all-around good colleague did help

>there was also the option of sports, but both she and Moxxie would be spending too much time apart then (something which Mayberry vehemently disagreed with, owing to her experiences, and both Prince and scubus had to agree with her)
>they had to be quick, though, as the week was coming to an end, and they needed to find a way to distance her from Blitzo for good, before the final phase of the plan could begin
>there was also the minor issue of not being able to find a name for the operation, but really, that was the least of their concerns
>so, for the time being, they just focused on finalizing Moxxie's phase, and preparing for the recordings next week

>unbeknownst to them, Mother Nature (or rather, an Asmodeus in the know) had already found a way to get get the last employee of I.M.P. out of the way...
----
What name(s) would Moxxie and Millies kid(s) have? I would imagine something stearing with “M” to keep with the theme.

>ibf calling an imp-kid “Michael/Mike” would be like naming a Human kid “Satan” or “Lucifer”.
-
Well, that depends on the kid's gender.
I've seen "Minnie" being thrown around with fankids, but you have to remember that their names are most likely nicknames.
"Millie" is just short for "Millicent", "Moxxie" is most likely a nickname of "Maximilian", or likely an old stage name from his rock star years that stuck around.
As such, "Minnie" would be short for "Minerva", for example.
-
Huh,didn’t think of their names as nicknames. Makes sense then.

>Blitzø suggests “Bob”.
>He is promptly ignored.
-
Blitzo would suggest "Philip" because it means "fond of horses"
-
based
-
>implying he wouldn't suggest "Mustang" to keep up the "M" theme as well
-
Fck why didn't I think of that
-
Their first daughter is Maxine, their first son is Miller
----
>as the next week rolled around, Blitzo was still nowhere to be seen
>having blown most of his money at the blackjack tables, or on cke, drink or hokers, he was promptly kicked out of the resort once his special gift had expired, and had to stumble home, all the way from the Lst ring
>while he spent the next couple of days recovering, Moxxie and Verosika's album recording was underway
>turns out, the imp wasn't a needy artist, and with Millie close by (and their boss nowhere to be seen), he felt elated and could work well with the rest of the crew
>the Album was practically ready by Friday, and the label hoped to get it out into the shops by next Monday, before it went online the month after
>one reason why Anon trusted that one was because of the strong copyright magic on every disk and every online surface they had - anyone who tried to pirate the song would get nothing but the company's trademark "Someone's shting into my ear!" sound
>childish, perhaps, but effective, as no amount of jumped hoops got the thieves any closer to the actual songs, all the while they could hear them on the radio
>no music videos yet, though Verosika had a few ideas
>however, while they were having some discussions about the matter that weekend - meeting in the same restaurant where they first did - they were interrupted by an irate Blitzo, who demanded to know why his two remaining employees haven't shown up to work, and why he couldn't call them
>that latter fact puzzled both Millie and Moxxie
>unknown to them, Anon had Blitzo's number blocked on their phones and land line
>however, none of that mattered, as the imp was making enough of a racket to draw the restaurant staff's attention
>gathering his wits, Moxxie talked with an air of confidence he rarely displayed around their boss, explaining about the album they've recorded, and the teaching job he was recently trialed at, both of which came with a shower of success
-
>the longer he went on, the more irritated the older imp became, culminating in him suddenly snapping, and calling Moxxie a "dckless traitor"
>this led to the reaction that Verosika and Anon were looking for: Millie immediately stood up for her man
>and then Blitzo, still cranky from his week-long bender the apparent treason of his employees, made his second mistake:
>he turned on Millie, addressing her with colorful insults that even caused Verosika to be taken aback
>it had the desired effect, though: Millie's fire was momentarily doused, and she slunk back a bit, which was all the motivation Moxxie needed to snap

>for a moment, Anon was genuinely worried that the musician had broke his former boss' neck, as the punch he gave ended up hitting the taller imp more in the Adam's apple than the cheek
>it sent Blitzo crashing to the floor, with a shaking, angrily wheezing Moxxie standing above him, finally letting out everything he had to endure in Blitzo's employ
>it made for quite a public scene, but that's all they needed, as the public, listening to the imp's long list of grievances, soon turned against the still recovering Blitzo
>and then, Anon decided to bring out the big guns, well, big GUN, singular
>he brought up the Tome Blitzo had stolen from Stolas to do his business in the world of the living
>all at once, the annoyed crowd became shocked - and this conveniently allowed Millie time to finally speak up, telling the now sweating imp to never call her husband dckless again, as last time she checked, Moxxie still had more children than he did
>the revelation turned to mood around, with Moxxie's eyes widening at the news...

>...and then, Blitzo made his third, final mistake of the afternoon, when he asked:
>"Cool. Who's the father?"


>though the musician wasn't the team's bruiser, Anon was fairly certain that if he hadn't dragged Moxxie off of him, Blitzo would've died then and there

Although your idea sounds really good its incredibly unlikely for it to be implemented
A lot of this fandom for Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel likes to twist itself into knots trying to justify blatantly sociopathic behavior or hand waving it as not being a big deal
Viv seems to be pretty dialed in to what her audience wants, and they want mostly cutesy mindless fluff with bits of melodrama in between
-
Also, the show is primarily a comedy. Functional, well adjusted people aren't funny. You think Aqua Teen would have had any teeth if the cast wasn't composed of a sociopath, an imbecile, a misogynistic overcompensating dudebro, and a seemingly normal guy who still occasionally murders people with his laser eyes?
-
Fair enough, but like I said: you can ONLY take so much refuge in audacity before people just stop tuning in.
---------------------
Now continuing...

>as he was carried off to the hospital, and recordings of the whole altercation being uploaded to Hellnet, the conspirators watched, dumbfounded, as Millie slowly (and somewhat fearfully) calmed down her still heaving husband
>small as he was, Moxxie became a proper firecracker when ticked off, as it seemed
>however, he slowly calmed down, and it only took him one reminder about his future fatherhood to be elated once more

>Verosika was quick to act, subtly retiring to the restroom to call Mayberry and inform her about the incident
>as good as Moxxie's trial went, the school probably wouldn't like a violent person to teach music - too many reruns of "Whiplash"

>the teacher immediately commenced damage control, but as it turned out, it wasn't needed: the FULL recordings of the whole debacle where the first ones noticed by the general public, which did include Blitzo suddenly bursting on the scene, and insulting Moxxie and Millie until the former began to tolchok him
>few people sided with the loudmouth, especially when some began to recognize him - and Verosika was quick to aid in that
>the best part?
>Stolas' defense was nowhere to be seen
>no doubt, he had received an official letter from Pandemonium about the whole tome issue


>from within the hospital, Loona watched through her phone, as she had done for the past two weeks, as her adoptive father's fall from grace seemed completed
>seeing Verosika in the background of some of the recordings, and Anon calling Blitzo out about the book helped her put two and two together
>Blitzo's been had
>hoodwinked, at long last - outmaneuvered by people with enough money to act kind when he would be mean
>all those years of making enemies for kicks had bit him in the ass

>she had to admit, as much as it pissed her off to see her caretaker beaten like that, there was some satisfaction in finally having him get his just deserts
