You could say it was another peaceful morning in this strange city.
People were already walking the streets going to their jobs or going home from work. These people weren’t like, well, human beings.
Some possessed animal like features or strange object head forms. Nobody seemed to mind it though as they all found this normal.
The street to was also getting prepared for a parade. Banners set up on strings, A few people checking to see if it was all perfect or if it needed final touches.

Three small radish like creatures followed a lady around. She wore a long blue dress that barley swept the floor.
“Weller? Weller! Where is he?” She tapped her pen a few times in her hand. That’s when it clicked.
She walked off and found herself in a mansion. Their home. She went down to the lower levels and found a portal. “Great…”

He sighed as he crossed his arms “Now remind me again why he would willingly leave a portal open?-“ Moxxie was shut up by a hand smacking his mouth and pushing him back quickly

-

“I dunno but I’m intrigued I wanna go through it-“ Ajax said, she wanted to but since she wasn’t part of the i.m.p yet she couldn’t really do anything, they had been snooping around and found this portal. Moxxie and Ajax were really good friends.

The radishes sniffed around the portal and barked before running inside. They looked around the strange area and continued to bark.
The lady stepped in through the portal and looked around. “Quiet…” she told the radishes and continued to look around.

The radishes kept quiet but saw something move and barked again, running to where it was.

“Now-what- the hell-“ Ajax looked at Moxxie for some clarification on what the heck was even going on right now, she walked closer now even more

-

“Ajax your gonna get-“ Moxxie heard some noises and stopped staying silent before hearing something bark and start running, scared the heck out of them for sure.

She groaned. “Hey!!” 
The radishes stopped and their butts wagged. They slowly walked to her and sat down.
“You guys are such a handful..how does he deal with you…?” She shakes her head and huffed. “Come on let’s just…maybe go back in? He could be back through the- s##t- No no no!!” She tried to get back through the portal but it closed on her. She sighed. “Dammit…” she whispered.

“Now what the HELL WAS THAT-“ Ajax yelled which earned a disappointed head shake and a face palm from Moxxie

-

“Well I would shut up before you find out.” Moxxie sighed in disappointment, it’s probably nothing let’s just go before we get killed or something.”

She groaned and face palmed.
The radishes sniffed the area and one caught a scent. It barked at the lady and the other radishes as it started to follow the scent.
“Finally..well come on..” she followed the radish.

She did catch a few stares from people but she didn’t seem to mind and continued to follow the radishes. She had took her time to look around to, seeing everything there was.

“Moxxie what if someone got hurt! We need to check!” Ajax said as she tugged on his shirt, which was a disappointing discovery when she found out it closed.

-

“Well then that’s a sign for us to leave!” Moxxie tugged on Ajax but to just his luck had fallen on his face

One radish had heard the fall and stopped, looking back and running off.
The lady stopped and saw it running off. She picked up the other radishes and ran after the other one. “Hey!!” She tried to grab it but it kept out of her arms and ran off towards two demons.
It sniffed them both and circled them, continuing to sniff them.

“Now Moxxie. Is there a explanation for THIS ONE?!” Ajax gave him a death glare and Moxxie got up dusting himself off.

-

“I- well- no not really-“ Moxxie rolled his eyes a bit and looked away from Ajax

The radish stared at them but smelled something he smelled from before and started barking at them while jumping around.

The lady caught up and grabbed the radish. “Why are-“ he saw the two and blinked a few times.

“Well shit you let someone see!” Ajax smacked Moxxie knocking him into the wall “whoops- my bad- hehe just did something that may be illegal here dododo-“

-

he laid on the floor with what seemed like stars floating around hi head that only he could see. “I see shapes.”

-

“Yes Moxxie. That is normal-“

She looks between them. “Erm- hello…?” She seemed very confused between them both. 
The radish wiggled around in her hood but stopped and nibbles on her gloved hand.
She looks down at it and huffed. “Anyways-“ she looks back up at them. “Where am I and who are you two? What are you two?”

Moxxie cleared his throat and walked forward adjusting his tie. “Hello Ma’am! My name is Moxxie and that’s Ajax- This is hell hehe- ummm we are demons-“ 

-

“Wow you should have just said she’s dreaming! Now we gotta deal with her.”

She face palms and shakes her head. “Great….Oh-“ she then takes a phone out. “Maybe I’ll find DJ here-“
She then stops and looks at her. “Also this isn’t a dream…I would know…and I’m not human but it’s nice to meet demons with two eyes…”

The radishes just continued to watch them and seem to stare into their soul with their eyes, very creepy when they don’t have any pupils and just…nothing. Like they have no soul there.

“I don’t know why you’re here but those things are creeping me out-“ Ajax replied while pointing at the radishes

-

“There quiet cute though-“ ~Moxxie said while looking Ajax. “Anyways Ma’am what brings you here?”

The radishes looked up at the lady.
“Well…” she thought for a moment before speaking again. “I came looking for my friend…He’s short…Has a box for a head? I found that portal and was thinking he went through there since he…he likes to visit new worlds sometimes…”

“Oh.okay, would you like help Looking?” Moxxie asked being the responsibility and respectful person he is.

-

“It’ll charge you 200 dollars though!” Ajax shouted over him

She rolls her eyes and takes out 200 dollars from her own pocket. “Well then fine…I mean…Easy money for me…I wouldn’t know where to find him either way and you seem to both at least know your way around here…”

“Hm alright where does he most commonly hang out? Like what places?” Ajax questioned as Moxxie put the money in his pocket

-

“Also has he come in contact with people here that you know of?”

She thinks for a moment. “He’s never been here…It’s only ever been DJ and his boyfriend but other than that that’s all…Maybe Mothern but I don’t know…He isn’t a demon…” she continued to think.
“He’s just never been around here…but he definitely like lively places…anywhere he can get new creative ideas..” she said they in a sarcastic tone.

Moxxie smiled and looked at Ajax “like parties? Maybe murdering businessssss?” 

-

“Stop trying to promote the stupid place you work for!” Ajax said smacking Moxxie on the back of the head harshly

“Hm? Well- I’m not sure…I don’t want my friend killed you know..” she squats down to their level. “If you ever do hurt my friend…I won’t hesitate to bury you deeper than this hellscape can put you in…”

The radishes stared at them as their heads tilted. They were a fan of threats from Mrs.Underwood herself but she is also sweet, well, to them.

“M-ma’am our business is for people who want someone that’s not them murdered!” Moxxie clarified as he panicked slightly

-

“This is why we don’t advertise in public with no context.” Ajax rolled their eyes in a bored way.

“Makes more sense then…” she gets up and shakes her head. “Alright then with that money…and these…radishes…Find my friend…I’ll give you….” She thought for a moment. “Three weeks..? Would that be enough to find a missing person around here? Without murdering them or brining harm to them?” She raised a brow.

“Yes that would! We won’t let you down!” Moxxie smiled and looked at the cash he was previously given 

-

“Alright alright lady. You got a photo of them? So Y’know we could get this search party goinggggg?” Ajax asked as she tapped her foot on the ground

“Well why wouldn’t I?” She hands them a photo of her friend.

It was a brown box head kid. Around 5’5. He had a brown box for a head, a gray hoodie, blue jeans and red sneakers. On the hoodie seemed to be a few bright patterns to it, probably a symbol of some sort.
“His name is Weller InkTells…Just let me know when you find him and I’ll go to you guys right away…” 
The radishes had then been put down and they went to moxxie and Ajax

With a confused look Moxxie bent over and patted a radish on the head, he smiled and nodded “We will get him back in no time!” He smiled while Ajax sighed.

-

“Now how do we know they haven’t already left this place Moxxie, it seems unrealistic for them to stay here, I mean. It’s literally [i hell]!” Ajax said getting a lot more discouraged.

“Well erm- we don’t exactly…Know…Somewhere like here exist so…It’s basically new to Weller..”
She continued to look around the area. “It is kind of nice here though….” She turned to them again. “I’d say to also look for…a splash of color…It’s his signature thing to do so…”

The radish enjoyed being pet by moxxie and purred. The radish went onto his foot and sat there but climbed up there and laid on his shoulder.
The other two radishes had squeaked and started to jump on moxxie.

Moxie had continued to happily pamper these adorable creatures and laugh a bit “Where do you guys come from? Like what realm!” He quickly questioned in curiosity 

-

“Wow Moxxie real straight forward there bud, but colors? I’m sure we can spot that out somewhere like y’know there!” Ajax pointed to some random colors

She first answered Moxxie. “Well we actually came from somewhere called ‘New InkTimes’. Colorful city it is-“ she then heard Ajax and turned to look at it. “Hm…Looks a lot like it…” she then brought some random tea up to her lips to sip. She got that out of nowhere, somehow. “Well I’m going to find a place to rest…Good luck!” She waved bye as she disappeared down the street.

The radishes loved the attention and just continued to purr as they laid on his shoulder and head. The one on his head managed to even keep balance there.

Moxxie made sure each one of them where with him by putting them in the big pockets of his shirt, he then walked towards the color seeing that it lead somewhere “oh?” 

-

“Well this is a good start. Common Moxxie don’t just stand there!” Ajax then walked to see where this paint lead to

The radishes saw the colors and squeaked quickly, one getting out of the pocket and quickly sniffing the colors, following the streak of color before it stopped. It continued to sniff out the splash of color and started to slowly follow it but stopped at a pile of dirt. It started to slowly sniff it as it looked like it was in the ground.

“Hm? Where you heading off to little radish-“ Moxxie followed close behind them carefully, as to not be to loud and scare or catch them off guard.

-

“Moxxie where are you-“ Ajax then tripped over a radish “ow-“

The radish slightly rolled on the ground but got up and sniffed Ajax again, seeing if she was okay.

The dirt in the ground had then poked out and started to slowly come out. It had legs like the radishes but slightly different as it sort of resembled corn.
The radish started to growl at this creature and barking at it when it popped out.

Ajax sighed and patted the radish happily before looking to see what they were making a big fuss about

-

“What the?..I’ve never seen these before-“ Moxxie looked at the corn creature and then at the radishes, he was confused why they didn’t like this seemingly harmless corn thing so he stepped back and picked the radishes up so they would stop pestering

It continued to growl at the corn creature. All of them did and tried to go twoards it.
The creature just stared for awhile before fully coming out of the ground and again staring at them.
It slowly came to them and climbed on moxxies shoulder, tapping one of the radishes heads softly.
The radishes stopped barking and stared at it in pure confusion.
The radish that was tapped on tapped the corn back. The corn giggled and continued to tap it, so did the radish.

“I- aw aren’t you cute-“ Moxxie smiled and watched them do that for a while happily

-

“Uhhhhh Moxxie as much as you like it we don’t actually know what it wants, where it came from, or why it targets us- so maybe don’t?-“

The corn looked around around the area and there were many more dirt piles there.
Each one slowly started to sprout much larger corn creatures. These ones weren’t as friendly as they growled and roared at moxxie and Ajax.
The radishes started to bark and growl at the larger ones.

“Ah shit well-“ Moxxie looked around at the corn and let out a nervous chuckle.

-

“You know what Moxxie? I refuse to ever go anywhere else with you after this-“ Ajax stood up and looked around as well, the corn kinda freaked her out

The radishes had gone in front of the two and continued to growl at the corn, even if they were twice their height.
The corn seemed to laugh at this, it was like a scratchy dark laugh.
The radishes then looked at one another. One ate the other radish but grew bigger in size. It also ate the other one and was now almost as large as the corn. 

The corn started to growl again and slowly circle around a certain area, along with the now large radish.
Both watching each’s move.

“Oh my- yeah uh radishes? Is it to late to back out-“ Ajax said as they looked around to find Moxxie but couldn’t see him anywhere, “Moxxie?!” She had pretty bad eyesight at the moment because all of the dust that these creatures created

The radish lunged twoards the corn and bit into one of its leaves. 
The corn monster growled and hissed at the large radish. It was squirming around and smashing into walls to try and shake it off.
It didn’t let go though.
The smaller corn was hiding in moxxies pocket, shaking.

Moxxie was stuck in the corner of a corns shell, he had stayed calm and tried not to focus on the corn as much as he should.

-

“Moxxie- what the fuck?! How did you get up there?!”

The radish threw the corn off somewhere else as a few of the small corn pieces came off. 
The radish went after the other corn but some just dug into the ground, going to attack from below.
The radish sniffed around and saw Ajax, running to her and picking her up quickly, looking around and growling still.

Ajax smiled and looked at the radishes protecting her “I think Moxxie got stuck-“ 
She informed them

-

~he was just hanging on to one of the corns as they tried wacking him off

The radish saw this and ran straight at the corn.
The corns leave arms had wiped the radish.
It managed to not get hit by one but got hit by the other and hissed in pain.
It quickly growled at the corn and head butted the corn.

Moxxie watched as the two battled and then looked at Ajax then back at the fight. “I DIDN’T GET PAID FOR THIS-“ He said in a slight anger as he wiped his head back and forth

-

“Well- uh- free fight? I guess?” She smiled nervously and was very worried for the poor radishes, they were so cute she didn’t want them to get hurt!

The radish had pounced on top of the corn monster and roared at it.
The corn monster had stopped what it was about to do and had froze on terror.
The radish growled loud at the corn monster but slowly got off of it but watched it still.
When it tried to attack again the radish snapped at the corn monster, leaving a nasty bite mark in its side of its head.
The corn monsters had backed off and dug into the ground, leaving quickly.

The radish slowly pulled apart and became small again, laying down on the ground and breathing heavily.

Moxxie pulled himself together and ran back to the radishes, he pampered them and sat beside them, he picked each one up one at a time and made sure that the weren’t seriously injured.

-

“We literally just watched vegetables fight..what has my life become?” Ajax stated and sat next to Moxxie carefully and watching him check all the radishes, until she heard something In Moxxies pocket, the baby corn had stayed!
