When Moxie started to sell the Flaw accessories like the next month. He knew it'll be slow at first.

It's new.

New things take a bit longer to sell at places like cafés. Or just want to be cheap/save money since you already got what you need. But hey why not throw in a few extra bucks to show you like this place or piss off a different rival.

Station in the area where the TV position ar. So, once you're ready to, pay and wait for your good. Eyes, could catch the table with the material by the corner. Now Moxxie only made a handful materials. Which was just the stuff he already showed Ivy mix with her cafe brand. Still all under the name Flaw. At least what was sewn in? Ivy was quite taken back how much Moxxie was selling for all this. Like sure in Hell there have been many kinds of rip-offs, scams about that product.

Yet, this was ridiculous as they could sale higher! Heck, she thought that day she was buying what from Moxxie was him just being sweet to take a few souls off.

Nope!

Then don't get her started when everything is sold. Which, well that was good. Many customers like the new things, passed by and bought a few. Try to rob, which either leads to being hit with anything close by or vine whip to the face.

It's just Moxxie is being too cheap on taking their own payment. Heck, doesn't care how much she got out of it. Well, care in a sense got her side of the deal. It's when he tries to shove the rest of the money to her to buy the chocolate here.

"For the last time you're taking the damn money. Not, the chocolate! You're taking it like you take the paycheck." Wants to shake them.

"No."

Why of all beings here in Hell this one had to be so stubborn.

"Maria talks some financial business sense to your child." Ivy yells at her over the cell phone, who on speaker. Maria wanted to see how it went the first week at the café selling Flaw material.

"Ha!"

"You're such a big help."

"I know."

"But I don't want it."

"Mox. Save it to by materials." Maria finally calms down as she lets out a mused tone. "Just save it up. Watch the customers eying the supplies along with quantity even just hearing them talk about it. Positive along with negatives. Even just eyeing the empty table that had like one material that says Not for Sale. Come back on the table next week. Just need to see which one they seem to go after a lot. Which is just your Flaw products and then you got Flaw working with Nightshade. But since your focus on the café side should focus on doing like special around the café. If you were doing your own stuff to sell on the side. Which is where you would have to decide if you do that or not."

"My, my you're quite the business woman." Ivy was impressed, as she along with a few have followed a step like that before. Either it turns out well or not but it also depends on what you're trying to market.

"Got to know your way around here. Even its food that distributed out. Some of us Wrath imps don't want to be screwed over with a deal. So, got to know where to hit."

"Well, will need to talk about this again later. Right, I need to get this stubborn child to put that money in their wallet." Vines grab the stack of bills to be pressed against their face. It looks like the imp was somewhere.

"Hear me out. Chocolate coins."

Maria just laughs louder while Ivy groans.

These two would have given her gray hair by now. She just knows it. Began to wonder if that Maria 'grand' plan.

After that well Moxxie actually has notice little pickups about the customers. Notice, when they are there or heard from Ivy, how customers seem to grow. Like yes, Ivy does good business in the area, even when a few robberies attempts that she handles over the years. It just seems the number grew a bit. Even just by a small amount.

One time someone did asked Moxxie over the counter if they had any of the Flaw items in stock. Told them no, along with their tail pointed at the sign on the table, and no restock until next week. That earned a pout but still bought a drink.

Another after situation was soon started to add special themes. Like how Ivy only did special drinks and treats around the months. So, made accessories that spiral around that on the café side. While the non-café flaw products were still the same. Which was fine. Too Moxie at least. Until someone asked Ivy, Moxxie about the designer.

"Right well there a freelancer. It was pure luck honestly." Ivy awkwardly chats with her. Sure, was expecting someone asked eventually? Just was a little funny as the designer right here. Not phased at all as they make the customer drink.

"Do they have website? There were some socks but I'm close to getting it anytime. It either sold out or someone else gets it. Yes, I read the sign." The sinner girl pouts.

"I never asked. Really, I only allowed their non-café supplies here because they're getting a few things set up. Grow eventually since they gave me a good deal." Which is true.

"So, a possible website!" Perk up excitedly

Ivy eyes widen, Moxxie eyebrow risen up from the outburst. "I mean it's possible? We just focus what we agreed on what to be sold here, along with new material."

"New material? Sweet! What your policy on someone stabbing the other customer to get the goods."

"Whoever throws the money first? If it gets torn apart that will be your fault."

Moxxie comes over to give the sinner their drink. "$3.12."

"Thanks! Can't wait!" Pays as she heads out with her drink. Soon, it was just them in the shop.

"Seriously?"

"It slipped out my mouth!" She rubs her eyes a bit. "I mean it's not a bad idea."

No, response but go about their day.

As the days passed everything just carried on. Ivy does keep getting questions after questions. Even asked if she could give them Flaw business number. Which is a big no! Even some would ask Moxxis. His response is like they're not their secretary. How would they know?

"You're mouthier than usual." Ivy signs as she shook her head. Only been one hour in Moxxie already going on a verbal attack. Still will be quite around customers but have gotten sassy. Got an eye roll from them. Let out a huffed. "I may be your boss but that's big no. Should I call your Madre?"

"Why? She already going to be coming her way."

"Stil-Coming her way?" What did he just say?

Moxxie shrugged a bit as he cleans the coffee machine "Madre coming to the café."

The sinner gapped not expecting this news at all. Heck, she didn't hear anything on Maria side. Unless she was being sneaky about it. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask?" Blink at her.

Ivy was freaking out, her eyes wide.

"I don't see what's the big deal."

"Of course, you don't!" Ivy exclaimed, nervously wiping down the counter. "It's not any form of big deal for you!"

Moxxie just raised their eyebrow. Almost want to make a comment they already clean that spot.

"My, my so this is the Nightshade."

"Hi Madre."

"Hi, Mox."

Ivy was still nervously cleaning, something Moxxie had never seen from the usually calm sinner.

Then a gloved hand was on the counter in front of her.

She looked up, staring at the shorter Imp.

....Fuck, she was hot!

Now almost wish they did those video cam talks. Would that be weird? Wait weirdness and unprofessionalism left the building when you talk to your employee mom!

Maria tilts her head as she smiles at the taller sinner.

Ivy fumbled for a few moments, trying to figure out what to say.

Then her stupid brain to mouth filter turned off.

"Hello Lobster." Why did she say that? Lobster! Of all things!

Maria smiles frozen as she stares at her. "Hello, Buttercup."

Record scratch.

Ivy couldn't help but twitch. But also wonder how the hell an Imp knew what buttercups were. There weren't any in Hell?! Along with the flower language behind it.

Moxxie was just looking between them, slightly confused. Jeez what's with these two? So, what they're finally talking about in person. It still wells them.

"So, Buttercup having a tremendous day."

"Maybe."

"Better than no."

"Hmm that is true lobster."

Jeez they're so weird.
