"No, no, no I'm not going!"

"You're just dropping a package off!"

"I rather deal with the rats!"

"Seriously?"

Open their mouth about to say yes. Stop a bit. Wince. "Okay fine I rather deal with those creeps trying to steal the 'milk'. I'm not going over there!"

"Well, I can't since I'm going to the other side of the city to talk to the bank and if recall correctly." Arms crossed as she stares at the trembling worker, "I'm your boss."

"Can't she get them another day?"

"No." Thrust the box in his arms and a pin badge. "Call the cab, go just to that address, knock, give it to her, leave and drive back here to finish the rest of the hours. That pin badge you wear to show you're not allowed to be eaten and just doing a job. Just pay the cab driver extra to not speed away fast."

"Can my pay just be reduced instead?" Jason yells out with a panicked voice at Ivy as she walks out the back.

"No." Off she goes.

Jason shaken in terror. Those videos he watches alone about Cannibal town. Many would visit to get views. A few of the life shows got to see the citizens of that town eat the vloggers. There were still cannibals around who didn't live in the colony and could tell. So, you can walk around like nothing unless you start trouble. Then you go Susan! She scares them enough as it is when she just speaks and hits you with a cane. Hear the door open. "Wait, wait was about to close so you'll need to come back in two hours."

"Hiya Seaweed.""

Sees it Moxxie behind the counter. "Hey Mox. Ivy just headed off."

"Okay." Shrug and look around. "About to close?"

"Yeah, Ivy asking me to go make a delivery while she does an errand." Very much complaining and doesn't care. They don't want to go there! They are practically a seafood lunch for them.

Look at Moxxie staring at the chocolate.

At the package.

Back to them.

Idea pops up.

Smile very wide as they look at Moxxie.

Moxxie glance back at the phone while typing away. While their tail wrapped around the delivery box of bake, bloody, goods. Right now, in the back sitting in the cab. It smells horrid, the driver was rude as they kept ranting. Can very much tell many insults were directed at them but didn't care. What they do care about is the chocolate treat coming out soon that Jason better fork over when they get back.

"Hey lizard shit almost there."

Look at that less of a bite in the insult. Did pick up the tremor around the voice. Stare at a photo that Blitz just sent with a wink, thumbs up, while Striker was sitting across from him. Look like he was ready to lunge out at him.

It's a good start at least.

"Say um how about you just pay only half and I drop you off right here. You'll be across and can walk the rest."

"No."

"I'm serious! Even just 1/3!"

"No."

"Fuck you little heathen were going to die if I drive in there. Well, you would. Do you know regrown a body a pain in the ass?"

"Yes, maybe your tongue can pick up new words."

CLICK!

The driver pointed a gun at the back towards Moxxie. "Listen you little freak. I'm dropping you off at the entrance. Take it or your brain bit splattered all over the seats."

"Probably the first time it'll be clean."

Roar, and was ready to pull the trigger. If it wasn't for the tail grab and snap their wrist upward. The gun went off as the bullet hit the roof instead. The driver was crying in pain as their wrist was broken. The bone sticking out while hand just flopping around. Heard the door open and see they are getting out. "Hey you said I should keep driving!"

"You're rude." Slam the door. Back off as they watch the driver speed off and even flip them off. Then got by an incoming truck. Should have kept driving with their non broken hand instead of that gesture.

Any who back to the business favor.

Spot the sign that by a bush and surrounded by black vines. A red eye.

CANNIBAL TOWN

Stare a few seconds as their tail moves some debris, vines away of shorter sign next to it.

WARNING: YOUR SCREWED IF YOU DON'T BE CAREFUL. BUT HEY WE GOT DELICIOUS MEAT AND ADORABLE SHOPS!

How sweet to add a warning.

A few of the ways could describe the town was vintage. Everything in the town has a vintage theme. Kind of a 1910-20s vibe. From its automobiles all the way to the clothing its residents wear.

The inhabitants likewise share a friendly and old-fashioned attitude. Everyone has a gray like skin tone, black eyes and smiling away with sharp teeth. After that everything else a variety of sorts with hair, height, body type, and the usual.

Moxxie stare at the address while glancing at each building. At least they are going in the right direction. Continue to follow the path, along the street signs directions. While not phased in the slightest as cannibals are going about their day.

Casual walk.

Check out any shopping deals either in the butcher shop, markets.

Kids laughs and playing around

Eating a sinner that went the wrong direction.

Ladies gossiping.

A dead body left over pieces and clothes scattered around.

Just going about their business.

Some were a bit surprised to see an imp. Sure, in the past Hellborns come and go but rarely in this area. A few ready to 'talk' until seeing a pin-badge on the scarf.

Oh, phooey. This one is doing a delivery job.

Well, nobody said about waiting till after the job was done.

Happy smiles grow wider as their teeth glisten and watch away.

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

"Stop knocking! I heard you the first time." Door opens up as the scowling sinner face shown. Then mild surprise who she sees next. "What the? Moxxie?"

"Here." Thrust the package at Susan. "From the bakery."

Susan huffed as she snatched the box away. "Can't believe now you decide to come around my home you rude punk. Should rip your skin off and eat your face to take you this long."

"Decided to go the cheap route to meet you."

A few outside watching just a bit surprised really of the interaction. Anyone who knows Susan knows her a tough old bitch. That putting it simple, nicely.

Yet, her and this imp talking like well old comrades seeing each other again.

Susan yells back. The imp talks back with their own quick. Susan bite was still there, vicious and not afraid to tear you down.

The Princess of Hell was an example when she came two months ago. Along with her roasting at Alastor as he entertaining the rest of them. A 'free clown show' that Susan called it.

Good times.

"Straighten your back! If you're being a whomp carrying all those guns then give it to someone else."

"You're a grand example of a healthy back."

"Watch it I can snap these bones back in place and hit you fast with this cane!" Susan notices a few residents stop to look at them all. She growled, waved her cane in the air. "What are you rude eavesdroppers looking at? Get!"

Anyone listening scrambles away. One came back to pick up the bones he dropped.

"Rude asses letting it get to their head."

"Care to elaborate?"

Huff as she took a smoke from her cigar. "All because I just agreed at that moment with the brat for everyone to follow her. Only did because of the free food and get her out of here, along with that wretched pest. Still got a long way to go that one or will fall down."

Blink a bit and shrugged. "Well, that's on you."

"No, duh. Don't need to hear the obvious." A low growl. The black void eyes stare down at them. No, pupils but you just know they are. "You been keeping yourself out of trouble."

"Yes."

"I call bullshit."

"I throw it back at you too."

The older woman doesn't know to face palm or smack the imp. That talk of logic doesn't make sense. "Go before I tell them to ignore that pin and eat you."

"They'll be disappointed at your taste recommendation."

"Get!" Watch them head off. Eyes keep an eye on the brat walking away. Took a puff of her smoke as she went to walk inside. "You idiots going to get your brain shot if you go after that one. I bet some of yall need your head knock off if you're this easy to spot. Amatures!"

The cannibals were hiding in different, random, spots. Stop chasing after the imp. That was also another unexpected twist from Susan, but also a warning.

Don't hunt that Imp.

Darn it! Here they were expecting ready to see who could capture and eat the snack first. Then again, the taste of imp not everyone favorite and reminder don't eat them as much. It fun to see others gagged eating an imp and throw up reminding themselves why not to eat them.

Maybe they can find some rats, squirrels dragging any dead body parts around.

"You gave your job to deliver that package to Moxxie."

Ivy finally returned from her errand. Everyone still assholes no matter what. Don't care she is busy. Don't care she and others have other places to be. So, when she came back to the shop it was back to business. Jason just hummed away and was not scared. See it turn out right after all. Until Jason let it slip what they had done.

"Yep. Address and everything." Jason smiled away. Proud of himself, still of a job well done.

"You sent Moxxie."

"I mean they went there before. Right? Went with you to go deliver stuff for Susan."

"No."

Smile then dropped. "What?"

"Moxxie never gone to Cannibal town from my knowledge. Susan would have talk about it if she did see them." Slowly approached him as she growled. Vines began to spread around.

"Well, they should be fine. I mean come on. It's Moxxie!" Vines shoot out to grab them. Panic sets in "I gave them the badge! So, they won't be eaten."

"That's not the point Jason. You gave your job to Moxxie that should have been yours! You can at least grow an arm back!"

"OUCH! NOT THE THORNS BOSS!"

"IM GOING TO BE SLEEPING ON THE COUCH IF MY LOBSTER FINDS OUT-!"

"What you doing?"

Ivy stops strangling her employee and turn around to see Moxxie. No blood, injured, not traumatized free.

Moxxie is safe and looks the same. If slightly confused what they are seeing.

She is safe and won't be used as ingredients for Maria whiskey business.

"Just a disagreement. Are you okay?"

"Yep. Seaweed I did your job. Is the chocolate ready?"

Got a wheezing gasp from the poor fella. They probably got poison too.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

What do you all think?

Poor Jason just doesn't want to be eaten and put back together. Fear reasonable but don't put your bosses, fiancés child in your place. Even if it well Moxxie and can sway them with chocolate.

Awww Blitz and Striker taking a first step to friendship.

Susan back again!

Yes, Maria came up with some interesting threats. Many would really be scared and love it.

Also! As you can see the chapters just showing like short side stories on the side. That's going on like each day. Or if a day to a week passed. Like from the first book or short episodes. Isn't this fun till back to the main plot! Well, whatever is a main plot is anymore. *Lost so much control and new intel being throw out. Chapter plots ready but can't throw it out yet or changes happen.*

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
