"Eternal Impulses" - Life as Moxxie the Imp
2 Points
The room is cloaked in crimson hues, the edges of the furnishings sharp and defined yet retaining a surreal cartoonish aesthetic. A headache throbs intensely behind your eyes as you stir, confusion clouding your mind. The warmth of the bed is both comforting and foreign.
"Where the hell am I?" you mumble under your breath. Your voice is different—higher-pitched and tinged with an unfamiliar accent. Panic courses through you as you scramble to sit up, nearly falling off the edge of the bed in the process. The bed, the room, everything around you is overwhelmingly vibrant and bizarrely animated.
You glance around frantically. The walls are adorned with odd decorations, pictures of strange creatures, including one that looks suspiciously like you. Wait, that isn't you... or is it? Your hands fly to your face, feeling the contours of a snout filled with sharp teeth and the absence of a nose. Your heart races as you catch sight of your reflection in a mirror across the room.
Red skin covered in white freckles. Yellow sclera with black slit pupils stare back at you. Your hands touch your white hair which leads up to black and white striped horns, feeling the complete lack of ears. Horror grips you as you realize your body is not just smaller but utterly different. You're an imp.
"This can't be real," you groan, clutching your head with your oddly shaped, four-fingered hands. "This has to be some kind of nightmare."
A memory tries to peek through the fog of your mind—a memory of being in a different place, a different body, leading a different life. But it's like chasing shadows in the dark. Every attempt to grasp it is futile.
In the periphery of your vision, the world begins to warp and spin. You stagger to your feet, feeling the strange digitigrade legs buckle under the sudden pressure.
"No, no, no," you mutter, pacing the room, feet clopping against the floor. "Think. You have to remember. You're not supposed to be here. You're—"
Just then, the door to the room bursts open, and a bubbly, southern-accented voice fills the air. "Moxxie, sweetie, what’s the matter? You look like you’ve seen a ghost!"
You turn to see a female imp with exuberant eyes and a broad grin. Her presence triggers something within you, a flood of warmth and familiarity that clashes violently with your fading human memories. This is Millie, your wife. No, that can't be right. You don’t have a—
"M-Millie?" The word slips out before you can stop it. The pounding in your head intensifies, and you clutch the sides of your head, trying to hold onto your own identity as it slips through your fingers like sand.
"Darling, what’s goin’ on?" Millie's concern is palpable, her hands gentle as they rest on your shoulders.
Your knees give way, and you collapse into her arms. "Millie... I..." The words refuse to form. Human thoughts, human life—a life beyond this reality begin to evaporate. New memories, entirely alien yet disturbingly authentic, start cementing themselves in place.
You remember your first date with Millie, the countless jokes and teasing from Blitzo, the intricate details of every weapon you've mastered. You blink and the human world, the human you—blurs out of existence.
Gasping, you look up at Millie. The dizziness fades, replaced by an odd clarity, a sense of belonging. You smile, pulling her close. "Sorry, love, just... had a weird morning. Probably a bad dream or something."
Millie's worried expression softens into a tender smile. "Well, you’re safe and sound now, sugar. C’mon, I made your favorite breakfast."
As she leads you out of the bedroom, you can't help but glance back at the mirror. The imp stares back at you with certainty now. You're Moxxie. You've always been Moxxie. And the life of a human? Just a figment of a dream.
You chuckle, shaking your head. "Just a weird dream," you murmur to yourself, already forgetting the fleeting terror you felt and the fragmented memories of a human existence. Your life as Moxxie is all you’ve ever known, and as you join Millie in the kitchen, your heart swells with contentment—life in Hell might not be perfect, but it's yours.
"A pretty good day to be Moxxie," you think, a smile playing on your lips as you sit down to breakfast, ready to face whatever Hell has in store for you.

Prompt: Write the POV transformation story of the human reader completely turning into Moxxie (from the adults cartoon/animated series Helluva Boss), complete with art style shift (the reader now being in a cartoon world of the Helluva Boss series, and the reader now becoming a cartoon character with the same art style as the other Helluva Boss characters, rather than being a real life person), gender change (if the reader is a female), clothes change, age change, height regression (shrinking from an average 5.7 foot or 6 foot height to only 3.9 feet tall), reality change (the reader's real world becoming the world of Helluva Boss), and mind/mental change (with the reader's personalities and memories being completely replaced with Moxxie's personality and memories, despite the reader's best efforts of fighting his/her new personality and memories, making the reader completely forget he was a normal person, even forgetting that the transformation that just occurred seconds ago, and only remembered ever being a male imp and a husband to Millie, always being an imp named Moxxie). For Moxxie's appearance (after the reader turned into him), he is an imp with red skin and white freckles on his cheeks, and he is shorter than Blitzo since he is 3.9 feet tall. Like all imps, he has a short reptilian-looking snout filled with white sharp teeth and without a nose, as well as having four fingered hands (instead of five as in humans), and he lacks any visible ears. His white pointy hair leads up to his curvy black and white striped horns. He also has yellow sclera with black slit pupils. Moxxie has a long red thin devil-like imp tail with a quadrilateral barb at the end, as well as lanky digitigrade legs ending in what appears to be cloven red hoofed feet, reminiscent of artiodactyls. Moxxie's usual outfit consists of a navy-black coat with red buttons and white cuffs, black toe-less pants a white shirt that has a black turtleneck, a large red bow-tie, and fingerless gloves. Moxxie is the I.M.P's weapon specialist; and as such, has a vast knowledge of weapons and often brings a variety of them along during jobs. For Moxxie's personality, he is often the most vocal and realistic of the employees (his boss is Blitzo) regarding the company as a whole despite its dysfunctional environment and is bullied consequently. He is also shown to be insured about himself since he’s not physically strong since Striker, Lin and Joe was giving him a hard time since they believe physical strength is what makes a person strong. Moreover, he is an imp who is easily annoyed and rather clumsy, as he trips over their ritualistic book on the way through the portal to the living world. Despite being a murder-for-hire imp, it seems Moxxie is queasy with unnecessary killing beyond their targets. He also is uncomfortable with the idea of killing targets who have families, and attempts to give people second chances. Moxxie is also shown to have a comical side, as when he talks about killing an entire family, he claims it might be alright if it was just a bad dad or a mob family, saying "That's understandable" in an accent. For Moxxie's preferences (likes and dislikes); he likes cooking, culinary arts, musical theater, classical music, opera, his mother's kindness, being put in charge of missions, and Blitzo's approval as his boss. However, Moxxie dislikes Blitzo prying into his personal life, theme parks, theme park mascots, killing the innocent, pop music, Stolas' wrath, his father's (Crimson) abuse, Loona calling him fat, being the butt of the joke, and Millie stealing his spotlight. The reader's transformation and the reality's change/shift all takes place before the story. The story starts when the reader, now Moxxie, wakes up in a bedroom in Moxxie's and Millie's home (located in Imp City), making the reader (now Moxxie) confused and scared on where was he and who the reader himself was. During his confusion, his memories and personality all begins to warp and completely change, making him dizzy as he hold his head with his arms, hoping that everything that is happening was all just a dream (hoping that he'll wake up back in real life back to normal as a human), and telling him to remember his human life, but to no avail, making him completely forget all about his human self and remembered everything about himself being Moxxie, happy to know that his human life and self was only a dream, and knowing that his life as Moxxie as well as always living in Hell being reality. There should also be quotes from the characters in this story (including quotes from the reader) so we know what they're saying and what they're thinking. Also, it is a POV reader story, so it should not be in an author's point of view (my, I, mine, etc), and it should be from the point of view of the reader (you, your, etc).
