Ding!

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

"WHEN WERE THEY THIS SENTENT?"

"JUST RUN!"

"IT'S GOT AN AXE!"

The three demons ran. Of course, they soon lost their footing. Then cartoon style tumble away from the spot try to rob from. Luckily, an ax was so, so close to taking a head off. Miss just barely from the group. A vine extended forward to pull the axe out the ground. Then come all the way back inside the shop.

"Jason."

An aquatic like sinner looks over. Brush his seaweed hair out the way "Yes, Mame?"

The axe soon brought over to him.

"Go put this up. Along with clean up in the back." Ivy hums while she makes continues to make some tea for the customer.

"Yes, boss Mame." Take it from the vine and go behind the door.

"You should have landed that ax on their heads. You're being too generous to those brats out there!"

Glance at the older woman behind the counter. Then they go back to finish their order. "They're the least of my problems besides making me stay alert Susan."

Susan is one of those from the cannibal colony. One the rare differences while many always have a joyful smile face. The sinner usually has a scowl or grouchy expression. Still dress stylish like she with her signature fox wrap around her neck and feathered hat. Wave her cane in the air.

Susan a bitch but one that Ivy doesn't mind.

"I'll get to that next." Lower her cane back down as she pushed her glasses up. "Did you mix it in?"

"Yes, I already mixed your extra shit while you were admiring the show."

While Ivy doesn't sell things that are cannibal related. Does blood have a backup for certain drinks?

"Have to make sure. Be shame to not come back for here for service." Threaten tone but her eyes will casually look at the sweets. "I could have used some of their brain matter for toppings."

"I know Susan."

"Then why don't you do it!"

A cannibal but doesn't mind widening her variety. If she likes it. Others from the colony can too. Good thing Ivy doesn't always have to handle them as a customer. Polite demons but can only contain so much blood.

"How that one doing here?"

"Jason a good helper."

"Blast it you walking weed patch stop saying that too all your helpers!"

"I don't say that too all of them and you know that." Bring her the finished drink over. "Plus, I thought you prefer real seafood."

"I can widen my taste. But he such a fussbudget." Took the drink and started to sip it.

Ivy hums as she gathers the stuff around to be cleaned up.

"I still prefer your other one."

"You only like them because they bite back."

"That's not just it either. There not a clack-box either." Wave her cane as she goes to take another sip. "I have something serious to ask you."

The café was very silent. Then again, the only ones here right now are the two of them. Along with Jason in the back. It has been a little rough with the announcement for business but she was fine. Not the first time in a situation, just the timing was annoying.

The taller of the two raised an eyebrow.

"Word coming around even out in the colony. About this area."

"I've been hearing that a lot lately. Almost miss the milk comments." Stare at her fingernails.

"Just be on the lookout. It'll be a waste if your home was taken by force. One the only blasted modern place I can stand."

"How kind of you."

"Now if Rosie does something. I bet she'll let you be all right keeping it like it was."

"Aww look at that you both do talk about me together."

"So, when will you get rid of that?" Point at the TV.

"Until someone decides to stop using TV, phones and radios to not control, listen like a peeping tom." Rolls her eyes as she looked at her phone. Sees a notification and tap it. Try not to snicker as she picks it up to answer back.

"Isn't that one too?" Sneer at the device.

"Yes and no. I was able to get it to replace it with someone else's company. That's not those two. So, far know blackmail threats." Place the phone down as she looks back at a grumbling Susan. "How everyone over in your home?"

"Eating like no tomorrow. An even lost their manners can you believe that!"

Door slams.

"Oh, Ivyyy I'm here and I'm free! Aww is that Susan I see."

"Never mind their tolerance compared to her. Stop it you lousy hag!" Smack her hand trying to pet her fur coat.

"I'm just saying hi to Precious." Serena pouts. Lean back fast as the cane almost hit her. "Miss me I, see?"

"The only thing I would miss from you is that bun."

The hair bun was snickering with the hairpin jewel shaking.

The mix reptilian woman pouts and looks at Ivy. Hey eyes watering to look like tear works. "Ivy tells Susan to be nice to me."

"I'm not nincompoop to do such a thing." She snorts as she watches her head go down. The right back up to teasing the scowling woman. "Plus, would bite my neck off if I dare."

"Damn right I would!"

If anyone new or doesn't know them, see this. Well, for one just watching woman argued and talk smack. Then of age and respect. Of course, at the end of the day Serena was the older one. Yet, it acts like this. Age and time do wonders.

"Anyway! I'm here to tell you it's still on next week."

"Glad to be clarified." Glance at Susan. "Want to come to our get together?"

"Who hosting?"

"Me." Serena grinned as she sees her sneer. "Joking, joking. Rosie is."

"Hmmm next week you say? I guess I can make some time for our Rosie."

Ivy sends Serena a look as she snickered doing that on purpose. Rosie is going to be slightly displeased about it. But she can handle it.

"Speaking of time. Heard the latest gossip trend about the walking monitor making a supposed deal with the top arms dealer." Serena grinned.

"Oh, gosh that would be nightmare."

"Doesn't need to surround herself with such rascals."

"Wait," Ivy arms crossed, "Is that for some security?"

"Correct! VoxTek Angelic Security!" Eyes shine lines sparkles, "Ahhh so many complaints I can already imagine."

"I trust these filthy rats and squirrels to be better guard dogs."

"Same here."

"I'm just interested in how they would even do it. Let alone the time frame. Thank you." Took the drink from the vine and offered it to her. Start to gulp it down.

"It would be good idea if she wasn't doing it with them."

"Don't even know at that point if it is to be or not. The V's little Chihuahuas really dissing it out on the internet."

The three talks amongst themselves. Chattering, snide insults, threats to take a bite, and witty stories of their day to day. Jason peaking in a few times. All, and all just interacting like it was nothing. To forget just a little bit of that happening all around Pride.

"Well off I go the streets to shop for free samples."

"Wait these for you." Ivy waits a bit as the vines come out between the doors holding a box. "A few that you been asking for a while. A pain lately to grow certain leaves."

"Aww Ivy you're so wonderful." Hands out in a gimmie motion. The box in her hand as she holds it close. "Can't wait to test the out."

"Be careful going home."

"I plan on it. Bye, bye ladies."

Serena all ready of her merry way as she walks out the door. A sinner almost jumps her until they scream in fear at the bun growing large and hisses at them. Pass out on the spot.

"She scared."

Ivy glanced at Susan. A scowl was still on her face but their hollow black followed them. Even with the lack of pupils, one can just tell. "Do you blame here? Survive this long and now a twice a year."

"It going to be troubling for all of us." Finish the rest of her drink. "I need to get going before butcher shop close."

"All right. Have a good walk back."

"Might grab a snack." About to walk away but stop. "By the way. Many compliments to your business partner on the ribbons."

"Look at you liking something that not from Rosie."

"Eat acid!"

Out the door Susan went.

Ivy shakes her head and then lets out a sigh. Stare at the counter for a bit. Eyes staring while her mind wanders.

A tea party. It would be ridiculous to many with the timing. But for all of them it's the norm. No matter what the situation. Some of the conversations and topics she not sure how she will feel.

How they all could be feeling about this.

The potion teacher hums along down the streets. Stops close to any body parts. Sees anything of interest snips off. Put them in her basket she picked up along the way. The box is in there as well. Selena opens the door to her shop.

The door closes just to see three tear drops on tip of circle design.

Close it behind as she passes the jars of different materials to be sold. Kept walking to a set of doors that was her lab.

Pull out the discarded dragon like wing. Then a beak. A cloth rolled up holding some guts of sorts. Then pull-out secured box. Her sharp nail breaks the tape and opens it up. A few bottles with dead looking plant. Each one is different with name across. Smile big as she starts to get organized.

Not caring as her hands are shaking.

Can't stop working but don't forget.

That fear keeps her surviving all these years in Hell.

Fear many just like her can understand but don't show it.

Just will be another day.

"She didn't pack the milk!"

Along with can make you forget to double check your grocery list.
