Tap...

A few weeks ago a successful dinner was held and Figment had become a name spoken throughout the city of Detroit for his wonderful spiced Wine, an idea that came to him in a fever-pitched dream. Since then he had spent most of his time at his Winery concocting new ideas for the people of the city as they seemed to be the only ones to appreciate his genius but that would all stop when the cold rains began to pour, not quite cold enough to be snow but frozen enough to kill his hopes and dreams for the moment.

This could explain why he snapped out of his hard work and decided to show his face back in Detroit, specifically the very Cafe where he first made his thousands of dollars in riches with his Winery... or maybe he was just hungry? Who really knew for certain. Opening the doors to the establishment he slipped inside and sat down in one of the seats closest to the door, drenched in rain.

"A hot chocolate."

Those are the only words Figgy could muster while he sat there visibly shaken before a treat conjured itself into his mind and gave him an idea on what he'd order, "and all the tenders you've got."

Placing a hand into his pocket he pulled out a wad of cash and sat it on the table in front of him, both of his hands a bit blue in hue to match the rest of his clearly frozen body. Lighting a match he held it over his hands and accidentally set fire to one of his $10 bills which he deftly put out and then tried to pretend nothing had happened, all that was left now was the wait for his order.

Athena had finally taken her place behind the counter as everything was set up. She had let her waitress go home so she could be with her family, while Athena took over handling things. As she wiped down the counter, she hummed lightly, only to look up as Figment came into her establishment. As he came inside and sat down at one of the tables, Athena walked over to him and nodded as he spoke before she walked away and got him a hot chocolate. She then walked back to him and sat it down before speaking.

“Chicken tenders will be a few minutes.”

Athena said as she headed to the back, checking on the order she had her cook put in.

“Thanks frank, I know it’s a bit late for tenders, but its what figment wants.”

She said as she leaned on the door frame. After a few minutes, Athena stood up and took the tray of tenders to Figment, sitting down several large orders of them, along with his check.

“Here you go man. Please don’t set fire to my shop.”

Athena said before she glanced at his money wad and then walked back to the counter so he could eat in peace.

Politely taking the tenders he chomps down rather aggressively to show any potential apex predators in the Cafe that he's in charge, it only takes him a short few minutes of gnawing to finish the first one and that's when he begins to work on his hot chocolate. The warmth of the mug on his fingers helping him to calm down a little while the rest of his body continued to shake.

"Thank you. This hit the spot!" 

Satisfied and full, he left the rest of the fingers on the plate and walked out of the establishment another satisfied customer. 

Athena quietly finished shinning up the counter before she glanced back to Figment, listening to him as he continued to eat. Once he left, she moved over and took the money, ringing up the order and finishing it up before she cleared the table. Once the table was cleared, she sat down and glanced around the now empty shop, relaxing a bit as she breathed deeply and then stretched. 

"What an eventful day."

She said as she smiled, glancing around the clean shop before she walked to the door and opened it, looking at the snow outside before she closed the door and went back inside.

-NEW DAY-

Athena silently walked to the door of her establishment, unlocking it with her jingling keychain. As she walked inside, she flipped on the lights and then walked to the back, turning on the coffee pots and getting the grill on. She wanted everything to have time to heat up and get started before they were open for business. She then turned on the display case and headed to the back, putting on an apron as she dropped off her purse and her keys on her office desk. As she walked back out front, she watched her chef walk in and nodded to him as he went to the back while she counted the register and got the computer turned on. 

"Another day, another dollar." 

Athena said as she flipped her hair back and then walked around the counter, opening the blinds and glancing around at the different tables to make sure they were clean. After she was done, Athena walked back to the back, bringing out some baked goods and refilling the display case, adding a new product. Once the product was in the display case, she walked to the front and hung up a sign in the window.

'Try Our: Chocolate Covered Strawberries'

The sign read as she hung it up. She then turned the open sign from closed to open before heading back to the counter, going to the coffee pots behind it to dump the filter as the fresh coffee was done being brewed. She was open for business and ready to give some lovely customers some breakfast, or lunch, as it was that time of the day.

He felt he had te reward himself with a coffee after very much work done this late hour, he saw that Athenas were opened so he gets in there and takes a seat and just relax a bit before he gets served.

He asks for a fresh coffee and a good cake to it, something with strawberry will do says he to the waitress, she thanks him and says she be right back. And right back were she with his coffee and a plate of good looking cake on.

He ate the great cake and enjoyd it and drank slowly the tasty coffee and really felt like a king sitting there and getting such good service as he had. He calls for the girl and pays up for what he had, thanks her for the good time and promise he will be back soon since it was a good coffee and cake he got, she smile to him and he hets out again in the darkness streets of Detroit, long time since the sun went down so now was the hours for those he loved the night...like him.

Athena glanced at the door as her waitress emerged from the back. She then moved towards the table FuriousWolf had seated himself at, pulling a small notebook from her apron.

"What can I get you?"

The young woman asked before nodding and smiling as she thanked him.

"Thank you, it'll just be a moment."

She said before heading back to the back, grabbing a strawberry whipped cake and a cup of coffee. She then brought it back and sat it at the table for him before taking the tray. 

"Enjoy."

She said before heading back to the register, typing in the order and printing out the ticket. As the man called for her, she moved to him and sat the check down, nodding as she smiled and took the cash he gave her to pay for it.

"Thank you for coming. Have a nice day."

She said as she went and rung up his order, turning to give him the change but noticing he was gone. Another customer served with excellent service. 

Chris was on business, the meeting lasted three hours and he was suffering from a headache.  Little New York or Johnny Fountain which was the name given him by his parents talked to much about bull shit.  Chris walked into Athena's Café looking to get a cup of hot joe and avoid any and all chatter.  He placed his order and drug himself to a nearby table as tossed his body into the chair hoping that he can get rid oh the headache. 

Athena glanced up as her bell tinkled on the door overhead. As she looked towards the man who walked into her fine establishment, she smiled some and headed over to the table to take this order herself. The man looked exhausted and like he wasn't feeling too well at that time and she understood that feeling all to well.

"Hello and welcome to my Cafe. Can I recommend the soup the today or did you have something else on your mind, sir?"

Athena offered with a smile, wanting to make sure she could help anyone who needed it with a hot meal or a good drink.

Since coffee were a big deal in his life he were happy over seeing Athena's cafe in front of him, je walks the short distance that were to it and opens the doors and gets into the warm cafe, it were cold outside this evening so it was good to come in here.

He right away asks for a fresh coffee at the counter along with any sweet cake to it to it, he sat down and waited to be served.

Breakfast was sounding very good right now...I walked into this place for the first time. Some gravy and biscuits on my brain, and coffee and hashbrowns, extra crispy. I looked around to see if I sat myself or waitstaff. I like to treat places like this nicely, they um make your food. The place looked and smelled nice, wasn't too busy, but wasn't dead either. Which meant enough people liked it that the health department hadn't tried to shut it down for unwelcome guests.

Devante walked into Athena's Café.  He smiled as he took a seat at a table while Oscar and Kane sat at the counter near by.  They ordered their food and then Devante ordered his food.  He ordered three buttered pancakes and six strips of bacon and coffee black with one tea spoon of sugar.

Ryubi arrived at the cafe in the late hours of the afternoon. He stepped out of his black sedan and put a cigarette into his mouth, lighting it as he walked towards the entrance. He hadn’t eaten all day and heard that this was the spot for a good quick meal. 

He opened up the door and walked inside, quickly scanning the room and finding an empty booth in the corner of the establishment. He approached it and sat down, placing his hat beside him and taking one more puff from his cigarette “excuse me. Excuse me ma’am.” He said to catch the waitresses attention, she smiles at him and walks over to him, “Yes sir?” She says with a sweet voice. Ryubi clears his throat and sits up, taking another drag from his cigarette whilst looking st the menu. “I’ll have 2 sausages, 3 backon. Scrambled egg and a coffee.” He says to the girl, she writes it down and walks towards the back. 

All nomad seems to be doing recently is eating, not the worst thing in the world but he can certainly feel he needs to drop a buckle hole on his belt. 

He enters Athena's cafe for something light, just to tide him through to dinner. 

"please may I have a sausage sandwich with brown sauce" he asks

The person on the counter replies with "you absolutely can but would you like to make it a large baguette for an extra dollar and maybe add chips for two? " 

Nomad quickly nods as he loves a deal, so much for the light bite he thought as he sclackens his waistband. 

Athena's Cafe, a place what you should be visiting. Jason made his way to this wonderful spot. He entered the place and took a seat. As he sat down, waitress came and asked what a gentleman would like to get. Jason ordered himself a cup of coffee and few donuts. Lighted up a cigarette and took a long puff of it. He read some newspapers and he saw an interesting article about a warehouse that was up for sale. He badly needed something like that for his operations in Detroit. He was in a booze business and warehouse would be perfect place to store his goods. Waitress came back and brought his coffee and donuts. Jason thanked her and gave her a little til. She thanked back and smiked as she continued to serve other clients. Jason drank his coffee and wrote down the phone number of that warehouse. After finishing his drink, he went to the phonebooth and made a call. It was still open for purchase and they agreement for a meeting. Jason paid for his order and called a taxi. Sat on the back side, he told the drive the adress and they drove there.

While visiting The Motor City,Scott stops in Athena's Cafe,Scott walks up to worker and orders a lg. Coffee please as he smiles and gets it for him, and in return Scott pays him and wlaks out smiling.

Time hadn't been kind to Athena's Cafe which now sat perched quietly in the back streets of Detroit, a new major highway being added that completely rendered this entire strip of land now useless as well as all of the establishments placed on it. While it was a sad way for  a business to go, Sisyphus was a man of natural talents which spanned many various works including the ability to repurpose a failing business into something successful again.

What this place needed was not a Cafe at all, but rather a Bistro. Which is why for the next four days he would attempt to acquire the rights to Athena's Cafe from the dead woman who no longer had any use of it at all. The failures of the one's who took over later were hard to find and even more difficult to shake down once he eventually did.

"Give me the rights."

Simple enough, but sadly not quite the persuasion they needed. It wasn't until their car mysteriously exploded that they finally caught the hint and sold to him what he so desperately wanted. Now it was time to open up his very own bistro, or at least Athena's Bistro which is what it would be renamed to. All he had to figure out now was what a Bistro is, exactly. Ah well, probably isn't important-- the only thing that Sisyphus cared about was the name and it sounded good. Marketable.

Athena's Bistro

Perfect. It was now re-opened and would surely bring in people from all over who were unusually curious about the change and what it would entail. Little would they know, nothing changed at all. Perception is all that matters in the game of making money, and he planned to be rewarded handsomely for his sinister deed.

Opening up the store's doors he waited for people to rush inside. Any second now...

Another great day here home at Detroit, he walked down and having some good meeting with good friends to talk about last war we had and now he were very glad to see that Athenas Coffee layd in front of him, he gets in to get a good cup of the black coffee they served here to get some more enrgy in his body to hunt down those last durds that we called them to try out to be a good guy helping getting those bad guys off the streets.
