BZZZZZT

WAAAH!

[Thunk clunk. Real graceful there Alpha. Oh well, she was far overdue for a post anyway. She quickly recovers the dropped communicator, whining quietly.] Haaaa...that was uncalled for. I was going to post, really-! I'm just not used to talking to people like this...

[Sigh.] Oh well...it has been a long time, hasn't it? I guess I haven't

[virtualmenace]

[...] I can.

[latteheart]

Really? That's great! I'm totally useless with this stuff myself, eheh...

[virtualmenace]

When and where, exactly?

[latteheart]

Ah, right...the shop is down on Bonito, behind the high school. Do you know where the Northern Lights is? We're right next door! And...anytime? Whenever you can would be fine, if you'd like.

Do you really think you can fix it? It'd be a big help!

[virtualmenace]

I do.

Given the proper tools and that it's not too severely damaged, of course.

[latteheart]

I have tools! I don't know what to do with them, but I have some. And I think it's just that it's old...it blew out from working too hard during the storm.

[virtualmenace]

It's doable, then. I'll stop by sometime this week.

[latteheart]

Thank you! That will help a lot...

Ah, I didn't get your name- I'm Alpha!

[virtualmenace]

A pleasure.

Noa Kaiba.

[latteheart]

It's nice to meet you then, Noa. Say, do you like coffee at all?

[virtualmenace]

Coffee...?

I wouldn't know.

[latteheart]

You've never had it? Well, when you come over I'll be sure to fix you a cup so you can try it! I've got different kinds of tea too if you'd prefer that. It's on the house, of course!

[virtualmenace]

I wasn't aware there was a form of currency here, either.

[latteheart]

Well, it's sort of a trade system actually. People bring me something, I give them drinks, see? Though I usually end up giving it away for free anyway. That's how it works at the bar, too.

[virtualmenace]

As I would have expected. Primitive.

I suppose I should be thankful then.

[latteheart]

Eheh...well, with people coming from all sorts of worlds, it's not like we have much other choice, right? And it looks like they've managed to work it pretty well so far.
