Wallace's Cafe. Mestroville's local cafe. Moxxie was being interviewed by the owner, Wallace Stanford. He sits quietly as the man walks into his office, and looks him over.

"Hmm..." he says, looking him over.

Moxxie clears his throat, as he tries to be as polite as possible, and says "hello, Mr. Stanford. My name is Moxxie May. And I was hoping to apply for work here, in your cafe."

Wallace gives a smile as he looks him over, before noticing the gloves "I see you're a fan of the color pink?"

Moxxie looks at his gloves, and blushes "oh! Y-yeah. I'm to admit it. I uh, don't like to take them off, on account of it's easier to handle hot things with gloves on" Moxxie fibs, not wanting to unintentionally reveal his superpower of his fire blasts.

Wallace then thinks it over, before nodding "very valid point Mr May. Hmm, what skills are you familiar with when it comes to this sort of thing"

Moxxie thinks it over, before smiling "well i have extensive knowledge about what blends of coffee and how to make them perfect. Personally i drink a cappuccino, more cappu- than -ccino, and I make sure it's got no more than four ounces of milk; the beans won't have the right texture otherwise, and I make sure they spell my name correctly on the cup-they always put "Foxy" or "Roxy"; I hate that."

Wallace is intrigued by his knowledge as Moxxie then continues "If the brewers can't handle it, I go for a Venti traditional misto. I specifically use soy milk, with two blond shots affogato and ristretto! I also add... three vanilla pumps at the very bottom, then add the coffee after, then add–"

Wallace holds his hand up and says "okay, okay. I get your point sir. Hmm, now that I think of it, we are in need of a new barista. Are you familiar with that?"

Moxxie then replies "why yes. Yes I am. I am quite an expert in making different coffee blends"

Wallace smiles and says "then it's settled! You're hired!" Wallace extends his hand out, and Moxxie extends his and takes it, the two shaking hands, Moxxie smiling.

A few minutes later, Moxxie puts on his barista apron, and then gets on the phone, pressing the buttons, and gets in line with Millie's cellphone.

She calls "hello?"

"hi honey!" Moxxie says cheerfully "I'm pleased to report that as of today, I am now Wallace's Cafe's new barista!"

Millie smiles happily "that's great to hear sweetie! Ah knew your coffee smarts would come at handy on something"

"I know Millie!" Moxxie then says gleefully "I'm happy too! Sorry if I have to cut it short. I start work right now. See you tonight honey!"

"you two sweetie!" Millie then blows kisses to the phone before she hangs up.

She couldn't wait to tell Helen the news, she then says to herself "Boy, Things sure are a lot smoother now. Maybe the Living world isn't as bad as everybody back home thought. Hehe. ah bet every business in this town is as warm and as welcoming as the cafe Moxxie's working at!"

Unfortunately, her thoughts weren't reality, as Bob worked at his equivalent of Hell. Insuricare Industries. Run by Gilbert Huph, who only cared about the profits the company made, and because of it, it was not allowed to aid potentially insured customers. This was demonstrated by Bob's latest client, Mrs. Hogenson, as with a sad expression, put a denied stamp on her insurance papers, with the old woman saying with a mixture of surprise and sadness

"Denied? You're denying my claim? I don't understand....I have full coverage!"

I have full coverage!"
