The night was deathly quiet as Arcturus strolled through the Motor city. He was searching for something to do in the late evening, preferably involving food, when suddenly it stood out to him. With its lights illuminating through the windows, it guided him like the North Star to lost travelers. It was.. the storefront of Roma's Cafe. Without a moment of hesitation, Arcturus headed straight for the cafe, entering through the doors quickly as the sweet coffee aroma lit a fire in him. A burning crave for java. Arcturus sat down and ordered his cup of Joe. After some time had passed it was brought out to his booth where he would enjoy it.

Sal was in the Roma's Cafe eating pork chops with fries covered in a brown gravy.   He had dinner rolls and white wine as he ate with two of his body guards.  They were talking about the football game that they watched and how much money they lost.  Saw wasn't happy when he knows that his team should have won.  Sal finished his meal and smiled as he finished his glass of wine to wash it all down the old wind pipes.   

Joker was hungry and was informed that Roma's Cafe served a great brisket and their Potroast was to die for.  Joker laughed has he loved the choice of words.  Sitting in Roma's he didn't want to waste time he ordered the pot roast with mashed potatoes and hot dinner rolls and lemonade.  He lit a cigar and smiled as he exhaled and closed his eyes and focused on the music playing in his head.  He started humming cat's in the cradle.   

His food arrived steam flowing off the tops he nodded and then started taking spoon fulls of gravy from the pot roast and  covering the potatoes.  He started with a larhe chuck of pot roast and the hot dinner rolls then scooping a spoon full of mashed potatoes with the gravy.  He sipped his lemonade and smiled again.  He finished his meal and called for the bill.  He paid cash and told the waitress to keep the tip.  

Joker was now stronger and happier with his current situation he had time to relax to earn and be himself.  It had been a while since he last had to be the bad guy.  He was now the good guy making the life of those in need better.  He still stole from the wealthy and the criminals that operated in his surround areas.   He had made great strides with the purple gang.  But today it was heartbreaking for him.

Today he was in Roma's cafe.  He was eating two grilled cheese sandwiches and a cup of hot green tea.  He was used to the green tea with no sugar as he spent years in Japan learning.  He loved that little island.  Their culture and their women.  One was special to him but she was promised to another and would not break her oath.  Yet she was at the Jokers side everyday since their first date a week after he arrived.  They made love daily and several times on the weekends.  Yet she refused to stay with the Joker and married a man she tried to love but didn't.  She died and he recieved a telegram from her mother who knew that Joker and her daughter were deeply in love, but honor outweighed love. 

Joker was with Doc and Toys they were eating chili dogs and drinking a soda as a quick break before finishing up their collections.  Joker was also there to meet with the bernstein brothers.  These two were part of the purple gang they enjoyed hijacking shit but they were falling apart, the gang was having major issues with other gangs and the justice department.  

The brothers wanted to get out of Detroit but they needed cash and protection.  Joker made a few bucks with them and they did him a few favor's and he smiled as he had one more favor to ask them that would ensure they were protected from the other gangs, and cops.  Joker would ensure they had work and enough cash to get them and their family out of the motor city.  They would help him with the Moran problem.

Joker and his men were eating a brisket with loaded potatoes and sourcream.  The wine was a sweet red cab.  They were laughing because things were finally going right and they were at peace.  Joker was covering the tab and they were eating like there was no tomorrow.  They liked Roma's cafe it was like there private restaurant where they could be themselves and talk freely.  Joke was happy as the owner and noting would make him sale.  

Super Al had just left another business in Detroit and was in a hurry, so quickly arrived at the next! He barges in, shouting as he lands through the door.

"IS HE HERE?!" Al exclaims, rushing around in his search. "AHA!" He stumbles across a plate of food, lifting it and giving it a sniff. "This looks like it's been here a while! He must be out of town by now..."

He looks at the plate, wondering if he should finish the leftovers. "I'm hungry... But I ain't that hungry!"

He bolts out the door.

To be back in the motor city and at Roma's eating pot roast and drinking wine was a pleasing thing for the Joker.  He was happy to see that the staff kept thing clean and going.  Joker sat and talked with Doc, Nails and Whispers to make sure things went smoothly while he was away.  They each had things they needed to control while Joker spent time up state. 

Joker was having fun while in Detroit.  He was eating bbq ribs, and grilled corn on the cob with fries.   He was drinking a beer and laughing as he was talking with Tombstone, and Krusty.  They were talking about certain things that should only be whispered.  Joker looked up and saw a young man named Deadshot.  Deadshot was 17 and looking for a job.  Tombstone recommended the young man. 

Joker smiled and told the young man to have a seat.  He called over the waiter and told him to order lunch for himself.  Whatever he wanted now that he was working for the Joker.  The Young man smiled and thanked The Joker and TombStone.  He shook Krusty's hand and introduced himself then he ordered the sirlon and mashed potatoes with corn on the cob and lemonade.  Joker reached in his pocket and handed the man a card and a thousand dollars.   

The card was an address for an apartment that the kid could live as part of the perks for working for the Joker.  The money was to get new clothes and whatever supplies he needed to apply his trade for the Joker.   

Joker was sitting down for lunch, he was having a double cheese burger, fries and a softdrink and talking with a group of Jamaicans they wanted to purchase product from him on a large scale and on a regular basis.  Joker ate as they talked.  The price that they wanted was more than fair the amount they wanted was a bit much but he could make it happen.  The issue was the timing they wanted it in two days and he couldn't meet that timeframe.  

One of the men became upset and called him a clown.  Joker never looked up at the man nor did he so any emotions towards the comment.  He ate his food and when he was done he saw that that same man was still talking about not doing business with someone like him.  Joker stood up and wished them a good day.  The other two said that they needed to work something out.  Joker replied us clowns dont clown around.  Then he left.  

Two days later the third man was found in his apartment with a smile and hundred bucks in his mouth.  His apartment had a note written on the wall.  Respect not given cost more when you don't know who you're dealing with.  

Sin walked into Roma’s Cafe, obviously not familiar with the area, however, her strong olfactory led her here. She was seated by a waitress snd given a menu, she glanced at it briefly, already knowing what she would like. When the waitress approached the table, she politely ordered herself a Pepsi cola and two cheeseburgers, with tomato , lettuce and onions, she noted there was ketchup at the table already. The waitress told her it wouldn’t be long and she wasn’t lying. Her food came out in less than twenty minutes. Sin made up her cheeseburgers the way she liked them and took a bite of the juiciest burger she’s ever tasted. Satisfaction wasn’t a good enough word for it.
 

After finishing up her meal, she paid and tipped the waitress well, as she was also a waitress. Thank you for a great experience, Miss, the food was great.  Sin was impressed, she’d definitely be back some day. That’s for certain. She left and headed to the airport, pleasantly full and happy. 

Joker was a bit hurt to find out that Sinslik was in the spot and no one called him up.  He shook his head as he realized that the manager nor the staff wouldn't know her if she had a sign hanging on her.  Anyway he would have to be the one to correct the issue the next time she comes into his Joint.  He wanted her to know she always eat for free and to order the top on the line not just a sandwich.   

Joker was back and to his surprise he saw a lot of bloodshed and death while visiting.  He stepped into Roma's cafe to get out of the way he was drinking coffee it was 10 am and he was tried himself it had been a long train ride getting to the motor city.  Fisk and Tomestome were at his side also drinking coffee.  they were talking about the city and why it looks so empty. It wasn't a good feeling as even the people Joker collected from where worked about next weeks payments.    

It wasn't very often that Tussy_ had a chance to sample cafes in different cities; whenever not at home he was always running some business, meeting with people for future projects, and continuing to plan how he could support LA. Thankfully, today he found himself at a loose end - his next meeting wasn't for 2 hours, and he wouldn't be off home for another 6. As such he went off to Roma's, to have a sit down and a coffee. 

Tussy_ knew that Falka was coming to Detroit, and wondered if he should leave him a message at the airport. Before he knew it he was on the phone of Roma's to make sure an airport porter told him to come straight here for a coffee and a catch-up. He didn't see his old friend near as often as he would have liked, so he was going to make damned sure he wasn't missing him today!

'Two coffees please' he said to the man behind the counter. 'I'm expecting a friend.....'

Driving nine hours to Detroit Joker was at the Roma's Cafe meeting with a few business associates.  He looked around the table and told them to continue normal business practices and beware that the feds and local cops are hot with the recent mob bloodbath on the streets that occured.  be smart and adjust accordingly.  The money and the product has to keep flowing.  

None of the men at the table had any questions as they were receiving their product at the normal scheduled times.  Joker finished his coffee and danish and then stood up and thanked them for coming.  They all stood up and went to work.  Then Joker turned to Whispers and Doc and said lets move on to the next location time is money.
