[Accidental Voice/Voice; Japanese]

[latteheart]

[There's just some quiet shuffling on the feed at first...then a possibly familiar whisper, full of disbelief.] This thing is...it's not the same one, is it? But..."Use this..."

N-no way...I...

[The device is different, the weather has changed, but everything else...even if several years have gone by from her perspective, nothing about this place

[prodigal_axe]

Well, I'll be damned...Years, huh?

[You never know who this place decides to bring back. In some ways, it's always a surprise to him.

Shinjiro is at the bar right now. He'll be poking his head around the cafe to see if Alpha shows up there.]

[latteheart]

Mm, I guess it probably hasn't been that long here, but that's really of weird to think abou-

Shinjiro! You're still here!

[prodigal_axe]

Where else would I be?

[His voice is almost smiling.]

So. You seen the cafe yet? Cube's been takin' care of it for you.

[latteheart]

I was just thinking, "If anyone's here, Shinjiro is!" But this is still great!

Yeah, it looks really nice! I'm so happy. I was sure it would be messed up by this time.

[loyal_cube]

[he's not at the Cafe, been home sleeping but he stops everything he is doing and stares at his communicator. Cube doesn't dare look at it, pondering if his lack of sleep is playing games on him.

But he can't help himself and is already shaking, holding the communicator. Is this some cruel joke or is he really hearing this voice.]

Oneechan?

[latteheart]

[Of course he's still here. This is what she'd come back for. She's not surprised...but hearing his voice...]

Cube...!

[loyal_cube]

[Oh, this better not be a trick. His eyes are filling with tears. Happy Tears.]

Y-you remember...

I-It's really you? Where are you?

[He better not be having another dream. This feels like a dream.]

[Voice]

[pilot_princess]

[There's a large, rather dangerous-sounding crash of dishes falling into the sink. Anemone gasps, rather loudly.]

What?!

screw voice it's 5 in the morning and this is [Action]

[latteheart]

[Golly that sounded like it's going to be a mess to clean up. Assuming this is after the initial post though, Alpha doesn't even hear it, too busy trying to remember her way to the cafe. And once she's there, instead of immediately going inside and looking for people, she just stands outside, gazing happily at the sign and internally freaking out over being back.

Like a derp.

Because it wouldn't be Alpha if there wasn't fail involved.]

GO TO SLEEP MORE [Action]

[pilot_princess]

[Not like Anemone's going to spend the time waiting to see if Alpha will confirm or anything. Being the reckless, anxious girl she is, she grabs her communicator and goes on the ever-constant frequency checking as she speedwalks her way out of the cafe.

Oh...

Oh hey.

WAIT A MINUTE.]

Alpha! You're back!

[YOU'D BETTER HUG HER NOW.]

SLEEP IS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T PLAY WoW [Action]

[latteheart]

[Alpha almost misses the girl walking right past her. She nearly drops the sack of coffee beans she's holding, quickly shifting it to one arm as she happily throws the other around Anemone.]

Anemone! Aaah, I missed you so much!

[Action] 1/2

[princessofmoe]

[Let's pretend this takes place after any earlier action logs and that Rika was being busy in the kitchen!

And hi-- there's a familiar loli popping out of the kitchen.]

Mii! Nipa~. Welcome to Cafe-

[Action]

[princessofmoe]

[Pauses and stares, while holding a tray of small simple baked sweets.]

Al... pha...?

[Action]

[latteheart]

[Alpha turns to the source of the voice, and there's a brief look of surprise that's quickly replaced by recognition. Her face lights up with a smile.]

Rika-chan...!

[Action]

[princessofmoe]

[Placing aside her tray and running to you Alpha. She is going stand on her tiptoes and pull on your cheeks to see if that smile is real.]

[Voice; Japanese]

[guardianjoker4]

A-alpha-san!? You're back!? [AND YOU REMEMBER!? \o/]

[Voice; Japanese]

[latteheart]

A...Amu-chan! Amu-chan is here too? This is the best!

[Voice; Japanese]

[guardianjoker4]

Mmm! I still work at the café and everything! We've been taking care of it since you left.

[Voice; Japanese]

[latteheart]

I saw! You guys really didn't have to do that...ah, what nice things to hear right after coming back!
