[A cafe run by the robots from before? Why, what could ever go wrong? Lots, but let's check it out anyway. Down, sitting at one of the tables in the cafe is Alice. She knew better than to actually get anything, and hopes that won't bring about anything. She's just content with sitting there, looking at the robots and chatting with her guest.

Oh yes, she's not alone. She is joined by a shorter girl, with longer blonde hair and golden eyes. Likely more identified by her black and white witch clothes and hat. This is Marisa Kirisame, she was once here and left quite some time ago. Her skin does seem just a tiny bit off color, though. And she's wearing gloves for some odd reason. And if someone were to touch her face, they would find that it is not skin... but rather, something you would feel from a doll.

Alice is trying very hard to hide the fact she made, and is controlling, a life-sized doll of her best friend, that is no longer around, to take to a cafe to have a chat. She doesn't have problems. Really!]

[OOC: Despite being a doll, the Marisa doll will talk to others in an italicized way. The doll's body motions will be indistinguishable from a normal persons... but not from the real Marisa, as it's behavior and mannerisms are only mimicry based on Alice's attempts to try and act like Marisa.]

[No, Alice, you can't get away from Kris for too long. This is one of the things that can go around, assuredly.

Either way, she not so subtly pulls up a chair to say hi.]

What are you doing here?

[shanghaiworld]

[This sadly made Alice jolt a bit.]

What are YOU doing here?

Friend of yours?

Shut up, Marisa.

[ported]

[Not even sorry.]

I'm here to see you. [Except she didn't know Alice was.]

And yeah, we're friends!

[shanghaiworld]

Are you stalking me now? Is that what you're doing? How did you know I was here?

[ported]

I'm not stalking you. I saw you in here so I came to say hi.

[shanghaiworld]

You didn't say hi, so you failed at that.

Hey, Alice, hey. Introduce me, you making friends seems weird, so I wanna know who they could be.

Introduce yourse- HEY!

[And a small mischievous grin comes from the human sized doll.]

[ported]

Hi!

[y e p]

What's going on? Should I say my name first?

[bladeofexile]

[Riven had noticed the two and was giving them a look over.]

[shanghaiworld]

[Not noticing that she was being watched, Alice continued to talk with what was essentially herself.]

I don't care about that saying about nothing ventured, nothing gained, I'm not having something from here.

But it'd be fun!

Yeah, fun until something strange happens. Thanks, but no.

Do I gotta jam something down your mouth? Oh, just so ya know, I think someone's staring at you.

... Huh? [And there's the noticing.]

[bladeofexile]

[Caught]

My apologies. I am still getting used to this place.

[shanghaiworld]

To be honest, I don't think this should be one of the areas you should familiarize yourself with.

I dunno, it seems good enough around here.

And what are the chances of coming back?

... I choose to hold my right to say nothing.

[bladeofexile]

Perhaps but I am still new to this Garden all together.

[shanghaiworld]

Be that as it may, I do not know many that are here that come down here often at all.

[cleaningstop]

Ah, Alice! So this is where you went off t-

[hold up, didn't Marisa leave? it doesn't quite look like her, though!]

What's going on here...?

[shanghaiworld]

[Ah, the perfect test. Can she fool the only person who could have possibly been around when the doll was made.]

I think it's quite obvious. Me and Marisa are here at a cafe.

Yeah, really now. I know you don't see me sometimes when I slip into the mansion, but this is right in front of you.

[Alice has no idea if that's true, but let's just wing it.]

[cleaningstop]

T-That isn't the point! It's that I thought you weren't here anymore!

In fact, I was certain that you weren't!

[shanghaiworld]

I'm a boomerang, if you try and throw me away, I'll just come back. Probably while hitting you in the face, but I think that missed.

Sorry, but marisarang doesn't sound like an appealing name.

[cleaningstop]

Please don't hit me in the face, regardless of whether or not you're being a boomerang...

[shanghaiworld]

So, Meiling, did you come looking for me?

[nekomikoreimu]

[Reimu finally gave in to herself and went to the not suspicious at all cafe. When she arrives, she spots Alice. She is about to say hi when she spots the familiar black hat next to her. She quickly runs over and grabs Marisa's shoulder.]

Marisa?! You are back! I've missed you so!

[She's too excited to notice that this is a doll.

[shanghaiworld]

[The response is two fold. Happy surprise Reimu causes both Alice and 'Marisa' to scream in surprise, only with the doll falling backwards, sending it and the chair falling to the ground]

[nekomikoreimu]

[Reimu looks shocked, then gets flustered]

H-hey, sorry. I shouldn't have surprised you like that Marisa.

[She goes to help marisa up when she touches her skin and stops. She then slowly looks at Alice. her face isn't so happy anymore.]

Alice....

[shanghaiworld]

[And Alice just has her head on the table, with the doll getting up on her on and looking away.]

... Of course, it had to be you.

[nekomikoreimu]

[Reimu looked more annoyed then she normally did. She was upset, VERY upset, that she had mistaken a doll of Alice's for the real thing. Alice's doll's are all quite realistic, but she would normally be able to tell a fake Marisa from the real one. However... she was so excited...]

Why...?

[Why indeed? Why was Reimu this upset from seeing a Marisa doll. her annoance started to turn to anger... and sadness.]

Damn it!

[shanghaiworld]

... Why? Because I miss having her around. So much so that I did this.
