TIIYAH had always looked up to her mother Diff, which was short for Difficult. It had kept many wondering tho she thought with a big grin on her face. In many ways TIIYAH thought that if she was even half as good as her mother, then she was definitely on the right track in regard to her life and the fact that she had no idea of whom her father was, she didn't have any memory of him, if there was even a memory to be had. So of course it came as little if not, no surprise that she would of course follow in her mother footsteps when taking over the family business of running a cafe. Although her mother had named her cafe in dedication of her daughters namesake "TIIYAH". TIIYAH wanted to dedication her own cafe to the women whom had brought her life and had taught her so much before Diff's life was cut short due to the life that she had lead.

So, off she set in looking for the perfect place to turn into a cafe in Detroit, by some miracle it didn't take her very long either and due to the circumstances of the place, she even managed to buy the place for half the price that it was worth. She spend a few weeks to ensuring that the building was strong to stand against any weather and that it was up-to-date with the building standards, she then started to decorate the place just the same as her mother business which was in New York. And lucky for her, even the same supplier that had helped her mother was still alive, and had agreed to help TIIYAH out, after all business was business to the man. So she got the same lovely light wooden floors, a couple of cozy booths for her customers to sit at, a nice long counter where she could display the sweet treats to go with people's coffee and a perfect big sized kitchen to do all the cooking and a big storage room to place the stock out the back, with a fresh lick of paint on the walls and roof.

Wanting to stick with tradition and in honour of her mother, she also decided to stick to the same menu that her mother had come up with, after all it was a very good menu and her mother had taught her all the family secrets on how to make each dish in order to have customer coming back when the decided to visit the city.

TIIYAH was so very happy that she had decided to stick with her mother's way of doing everything as it felt like the right thing to do and it brought so many happy memories of her childhood. The Cafe was now ready just awaiting the final touch before she was actually able to open up for business, which was a picture of her mother of which she place on the wall, above where the booths were, Now she could say that the business was ready and waiting for its customers.

Today was the day, DIFF'z Cafe was finally opened for business, TIIYAH could not control her excitement at all, she was so happy that all her hard work was going to finally pay off. She started getting ready for the possible customers that may arrive at her door by turning on the coffee machine, turning on the grill and deep fryers and basically making sure everything was prepared so that the service could be fast and the customers wouldn't have to wait too long for their meals. She decided that she would have an opening week special. so she got the chalkboard and wrote with nice green chalk.

~ Opening Week Special ~

Everything will be HALF PRICE!

from November 17th Till November 24th

Visas had heard about Tiiyah planning on opening a cafe in the middle of Corktown and was looking forward to having a nice cup of coffee queenie having been to busy with running her operation here in Detroit. Had let the cafe slip her mind but Tiiyah as any Right Hand was on the ball Visas looked over the cafe and smiled she would hold a meeting here she thought queenie would love it. Visas smiled as she pictured queenie sipping a nice cup of coffee whilst enjoying a slice of Devils Food cake here in the middle of Corktown.

Turning to Tiiyah Visas placed her order and  took a table smiling this place was what Detroit the booty city needed.

Fresh in off the plane, queenie heard her righthand TIIYAH had taken it upon herself to open a cafe. queenie didn't know what to think, her righthand, competing for business in their home town. Before deciding to simply have her head and business removed queenie decided to give the place a try and see what all the buzz was about.

Not to be disappointed queenie instantly noticed the primary smell eminating from this establishment was coffee. she suddenly realised it wasn't actually competition at all, but somewhere for people hung over from a night at her place to come and recover. She noticed 80% of someone's ass splodged over a seat by the ordering bar and recognized it as Visas. As she entered queenie noticed the advertisement that everything was half price. She wondered, for a moment, what half price would cost her when she was planning to run out without paying. She giggled evilly to herself.

*whiffs* mmm, well at least I can also smell bacon and chips... porfavor, a steak meal with "red" sauce instead of mushroom, and some bacon instead of salad, if you'd be so kind.

queenie rubs her noggin

TEA! queenie snaps her fingers and Jeeves, her head footman instantly places a cup and saucer into her hand and begins pouring a fresh cup of tea for her.

How's business been since you started up? queenie asks the woman passing her order along to the chefs in the back

BloodyFaster had a tough morning. Collecting protection money on Blackbottom, running to assure the shipment from Colombia had arrived properly at the warehouse in Corktown, checking the dry cleaners. Barely had time to have a cup of coffee or anything for breakfast.

As everybody knows, the mafioso worst enemy is his empty stomach. In his way back to the headquarters the man dressed in a fancy designer suit notices the HALF PRICE sign. Well, as everybody knows, the mafioso best friend is cheap good food. 

He relax his tie a little bit while getting in the establishment and walking towards the booth.

Captain Darling strolled into the cafe and found a seat at the immaculately laid out counter. It seemed though new, the cafe's business was doing well and Darling was impressed with how quickly TIIYAH had gotten everything together.

Darling had no need to read the menu, he could see the Black Forest cake and had decided before he sat down that he was going to take that.. Not a slice of it, no, the whole cake. He was feeling emotionally wrecked after dealing with a temper tantrum from queenie

Reaching into his blazer pocket, Darling produced a meticulous looking wallet, clearly not used often, if almost creaked as he opened it. He found a crisp twenty dollar bill and pulled it out. He would never normally dream of spending so extravagantly, or even leaving a tip, but he knew if he didn't, queenie would be upset. Of course, he also knew that if he did leave a tip, queenie would see that as him clearly having too much money and tax him accordingly. He was damned if he did. He decided he'd gamble on the lesser of two evils, and placing the twenty dollars in front of him, he ordered the cake and magnanimously motioned for TIIYAH to keep the change.

It was a long night, Donnie just got promoted to Boss and figured he would go traveling city to city following the drug trade and knocking off inactives. He finally made it to Detroit and his lay over flight was three hours away. He was now getting a little tired and slow on his draw when he passed a little cafe. He looked in from the outside store front and it looked busy, he figured this would be a great place to grab a cup of coffee and try to wake up. Walking in the door he stood in the line and waited till he was up at the register which was perfect cause he really didnt know what he wanted anyway. He moved up as the customers got what they were ordering and he continued looking at the menu and watching the barista make other customers their drinks. He finally creeped up to the register looked at the server with a weird look.

"Black." he said with a long pause and just looked at the cashier "I like my coffees black." Now Donnie was a little lost in the sauce and coffee wouldnt do much to change that. He started swinging his hips in a circular motion doing his creepy dance as he waited. Now Donnie didnt know he was a creepy old man it just came naturual to him. He watched as his coffee came closer and stopped his creepy dance, grabbed money from his pocket and paid the cashier than walked away to the closest table to have a seat for a minute.

Feeling the  rumbles  of  her   tummmy , not  havent  eaten  since  early  morning   Candy  opens the  door  .  walks  in and  looks  up at  the  menu  and  orders  a  Fish of the Day Meal  - Pan-fried or battered fish with a side of chips and salad.Ill take  a  french  dressing for  my  salad  please  and  sweet  ice  tea,  ill  just  take  a  booth  in the  back thats  empty ,  Thank  you  and  pays  for  her  order  and  makes  her  way  back  to  the   booth  farthest  in the  back,  sliding  in   the  booth ,looking  around  the  cozy  cafe .

TIIYAH had been dazed by Godmother Visas behind that she somewhat lost track of what she was doing. She soon recovered herself and hoped that no one had noticed, off she set to get the Godmother's special cup of coffee, after all she was no normal civilian, she was Detroit's royalty and had the finest behind in all the land to match. Once the cup of coffee was done, she personally delivered it to her. 

I do hope that this is up to your standards Visas, You look amazing as always, TIIYAH said with a wink and grin on her face before she set off to get everyone else's orders.

Well hello my dear Queenie, I hope that the day is going well for you? if you give me about 5-10 minutes i will have your order, and since i know you add things to your meal, I already took it up myself to have a special section for your ingredients in the back. TIIYAH said with a smile before heading to the back to prepare Steak Meal.

In no time at all, TIIYAH was serving Queenie with her Steak Meal with red sauce, with extra bacon and no salad.

Just what you asked for Madam, She then noticed that Queenie came with her own cup and Tea, Really Queenie? You think that your Right Hand wouldn't have you big TEA stash out the back? she said giggling, she knew how particular Queenie was about ensuring that she had her cup of TEA.

She saw a man sitting at a booth waiting to order, so she sent one of her waiter to go see to the table to see Mr BloodyFaster and what he would like to order while she tended to the next person at the counter. Business was boom for only having been open for just a short while.

That person just so happened to be someone from her own family, Cpt_Darling.

Well Heya Cpt, What can i get you today? TIIYAH spoke

Can i please have the Black Forest Cake?, Uh not just a slice the whole thing, Queenie has been working me like a horse. Cpt_Darling asked, clearly he was having a really bad day and needed to cheer himself up.

Well of course you can silly, after all always have a spare one or two on hand in the back if need be. With that Amazing grin of hers she set out the back and got one of the unopened boxes of Black Forest Cake and brought it back out to him. He simply smiled and then proceeded to go and eat his cake in one of the comfortable booths.

She then saw Rayln who was looking over the menu

Bit to cold for a milkshake she said.

Yes well, we do have a few odd people around whom seem to think it is hot TIIYAH giggled

Can i just get a large coffee, oh and you dont mind if i smoke in here do you? Raelyn asked

Sure, what type of coffee would you like?, We have Black, white, Cappucino and Moccachino. And of course you can smoke in here, we have vents set up so that the none smokers dont feel effected too. She hands Rayln an ashtray and lighter.

While waiting for Rayln to decide which type of Coffee that she would like, she went to attend the next customer, seeing that her waitress had already service the creepy looking guy that she knew of as Donnie_, she had seen him around in her travels in Las Vegas a few times. She couldn't help but crack up a little as she looked at the waitress stunned face as she served his extra black coffee. When she approached the lady who was next in line, The lady orders the Fish Meal with Chips and Salad, although she had forgotten to state whether she wanted that Pan-fried or Battered, So TIIYAH made her way to the back to ask her.

Heya! You order the Fish meal, How would you like your fish? We have either Pan-Fried or Battered? TIIYAH asked with a smile

Arriving in Detroit, Karmen quickly decided that the first thing she was going to do was eat. She rented a car from the airport and set out into the heart of Detroit. She pulled over to a busy sidewalk, getting out to ask a few people which restaurant they would recommend. She made sure to explain to them that she didn't come here often, and lived in Vegas, so she knew where literally nothing was.

It was a unanimous suggestion from three different people that brought her to her friend Tiiyah's cafe in Corktown. She stopped the car in front of the restaurant, grabbed her purse and got out. She stood beside her car for a few seconds to take in the outside of the restaurant. It looked very neat and tidy, as was Tiiyah, and she was excited to see what the inside looked like. 

She pushed the front door open and walked into the dining room area, looking around at the nicely painted walls, the decorations, the people.. She heard voices from every direction, all friendly. She smelled amazing food, and a hint of coffee. She decided that this cafe was already perfect, and maybe she'd even get a chance to talk to Tiiyah while she was there! 

When she noticed an empty booth by the front window, she quickly walked over to take a seat before someone else decided that spot was perfect for them. She could people watch while waiting for the waitress to come take her drink and food order.

Oh im sorry  i  didnt  specify   , ill take  the  battered  fish please  and  another  sweet  tea when  you  get  time .

Walking inside a lovely cafe, Andi slumped by the counter drained of her energy. She handed a few bills to the barista before murmuring something almost unintelligible. "I'll have the biggest cappucino you have, add 3 or 4 espresso shots in it as well, thanks." She said weakly. She'd been jetlagged from having to fly for business, but couldn't afford to get some sleep because she had a drug deal coming up soon. Hopefully, some caffeine will perk her back up.

She took her huge cup with her and sat in a corner, crossing her fingers that she doesn't fall asleep and land face-first into her scalding hot coffee.

Visas had just flowen back to Detroit after a long business trip on her way back to her head quarters she got her driver to stop by Tiiyahs Cafe Visas needed to relax have a nice cup of coffee and a slice of black forest cake.

Looking over the cafe Visas made her way to her fav seat and sat down Yournextwife was already sitting there waiting Visas had phoned ahead and requested her to meet her here.

There was a few things to discuss and here in Tiiyahs cafe was as good a place as any to discuss these things.

Rae lit up her cigarette and nodded to get Tiilyah's attention, "If you don't mind, can I get a white coffee please?" she asked the woman. she glanced at the menu and grinned, "And maybe a BLAT as well?" She added, "I'm suddenly starving and bacon sounds so appealing right now." she said as she rubbed her stomach which had just started making noises in protest over its emptiness. 

Mark walked into the coffee shop looking to get some motivation. He stood in line thinking up one of his long drawn out corny jokes to tell the cashier. One came to mind as the cashier said "next." He walked over and let it out the joke lasted for about 10 minutes before the punch line and when it came time for the it the joke went over the cashier's head than he finally said

"Ill take a regular coffee."

Being an opportunist, Bender broke into the Cafe, which had been boarded up several days before, due to bullet holes, bloody murders and fire bombs being launch left right and centre in the streets of detroit.

He had heard the previous owner was a very hands on business owner and it would have been impossible for Bender to have gotten away with much in there.

He knew there was still a whole of supplies and equipment in there. Seeing as he wanted to start up another business in Chi town, Bender was on the look out for all manner of supplies to ease with the costs. He had already looted the Queen's legs pub, and now had arranged for another truck to come and collect what he could scavenge from this place.

He and a few of his bandana wearing thugs casually emptied the cafe of it's stock piles of coffee and tinned goods. As well as all the cooking equipment, utensils, refridgerators and perculators.

After that Bender lit up a cigar, looked around the now emptied cafe and thought to himself "What a shame...oh well, doo doopy do!" With that he jumped onto the back of the truck, used his arms to clamp down several of the items he'd piled up on there and exited the area to store the stolen merchandise for later use in his up and coming Chicago casino.
