Owl anon getting dragged along on one of I.M.Ps missions because stolas is a dumbfk and asked blitzo to watch his son

>There are times when you really envy your sister
>When it really seems like the sun just chooses to shine only on Octavia, while rain clouds somehow follow you around
>This is one of those times
>Your parents sojourn to one of the lower rings for some nebulous official business left things a little up-in-the-air at home
>Tavi is off paying a visit to Princess Charlotte and her family, luckily for her
>She's set for the next three days
>But you?
>Well clearly you can't just be left home "alone" (with all the servants that are in the manor all the time anyway)
>You need a bloody babysitter
>Nevermind the fact that you're closing in on your eighteenth century, you clearly need someone to look after you
>And who better than an irresponsible, immature former-clown and current-low rent mercenary?
>Yes, Blitz (the O is silent), better known as The Amazing Blitzo, is the perfect choice to keep an eye on you
>Makes so much more sense than leaving you at home with the same imp butler who's been serving your family for his entire existence
>You can't help but groan, running your talons through your feathers in annoyed distress
>This unholiday weekend is going to suck

>"Quit makin' noise kid, you're gonna give our position away."

>Your beak is incapable of displaying a frown deep enough to properly convey how little you give a fk about if you give your hiding place away or not, but you do your best to make your deep-seated indifference clear

>"Wouldn't that be a good thing? If we can trick these dopes into coming to us on their own that saves us time, doesn't it?"

>"It's not just about offing the mortals, Anon, it's about doing it QUIETLY."

>"He's right, your highness, the assassination itself is in fact a relatively minor element of our profession. Discretion and stealth makes up a much larger portion of the job. We have to 'keep this on the DL', as the younger folks like to say."

>"Shut up Moxxie you doofus."

>"Yes sir."

>Right, because The Immediate Murder Professionals are absolute masters of stealth
>Not a single member of their field staff has a human disguise
>Their means of opening portals to the living realm is a pilfered family heirloom that EVERYONE and their brother knows is stolen
>The boss man himself has been caught on camera by a mortal
>They have every right to lecture you about the importance of subtlety

I only kind of remember Owl-non. Does he get along with the rest of IMP very well?

>You cast a sidelong glance at Moxxie
>It strikes you as really odd that he doesn't have a disguise
>You generally think of him as the most competent and professional demon in the company
>If he DID have a disguise, you'd probably already be done with this "quick errand" IMP dragged you along for because they didn't want you hanging around in the office alone
>Their target doesn't seem particularly capable, combat-wise
>He certainly talks the talk, and his followers listen, but you can tell this mortal thinks far higher of himself than he ought to
>If the imps could just get a clear shot, it'd be over and done with in one...
>...hhmmm
>You may have an idea on how to wrap this crap up sooner rather than later
-
>"Millie?"
>"Could I take a look at that dossier?"

>"Sure thang Sweetie"

>You do your best to return the gal toothed smile she shines at you as she hands the folder over
>You can't help but swing back and forth between genuinely enjoying her company and being just a bit creeped out
>Sure, she's a capable fighter and she's got hips for days, but something about the spritely country girl attitude matched with a sadistic bloodlust throws you off
>But whatever
>On to the details of the target

Keep going.
