Moxxie looked up, half-awake. It was 12am, and he was still in bed. Next to him was another imp, albeit slightly taller, and more masculine. He said, in a typical New York accent (think Jschlatt but more stereotypical), "Look who's awake."
"What.." said Moxxie, slowly coming to his senses.
"You got the money?"
"..what mon- ohhhh.." he said, getting up and going to get his wallet. But there was just one problem.
It was empty.
"Well, I would love to pay you, sir, but I'm afraid I.. don't have any money on me right now." By now, he was halfway out the door.
"WHAT?!?"
Cue chase scene.
Moxxie runs out into the corridor, the other imp right behind him. He desperately tried to cut him off at several right corners, but to no avail. Soon enough, however, after what felt like an eternity of running, he got to the cafeteria, and ran up to the first empty table he saw, burying his face in his arms.
Then, someone asked, "You alright?"
"Wha- Since when did you get here?"
"I was sitting here all this time."
"Oh. Well, I'm kind of running from this guy I hired to.. yknow," he said, gesturing with his hands. (👉👌) "And well, he's mad because I couldn't pay, and-"
But Moxxie couldn't finish his sentence, because he suddenly got picked up by the neck, and turned around to face him. It was the guy he hired.
"Listen, I can get the money by tomorrow-"
"Well I need the money TODAY!"
"That isn't my problem! Maybe learn a little patience!"
"Oh I'll show you patience you little-"
But he got cut short (with emphasis on the cut) since the other person there took a butterknife and stabbed him, before grabbing Moxxie and running off.
Once they got far enough away, Moxxie remarked, "That was intense. Thanks..
but I never caught your name."
She smiled, and said, "Mildred. But everyone calls me Millie."
