ANTR05 (Oct 29, 2017)
Summary of Receipt
Barista’s apparently been affected with ‘dimensional displacement syndrome’, aka burnout, because the Professor reversed time. Neither Cannon or Gemini were dealt with, apparently. Anyway, since he’s been unable to contact the Third Cafe, he decides to head back to the T.C. after today.

Ugh. I feel like a truck hit me. And the truck had food poisoning and gave it to me. Which, yeah, I guess it's better than the alternative. Though this still sucks. I see why people don't tend to, well, you know, go backward. From what I've heard, the Professor only went four minutes back. Four minutes! And I feel like I did actually die. Though the gum is actually helping a lot. Apparently, what I'm experiencing is something called "dimensional displacement sickness," usually just called "burnout." It sucks. Would not recommend.
Anyway, I guess it all worked out, though, because they were able to follow Gemini, who was with Cannon, to where they were hiding. Then they saved the Couple and got the Mechanism pieces back. After that, I guess the leader of the Society of Nom de Plume had a talk with Big Guy. Looks like the Palm Beach (fake) Cafe and Diner will be holding on to the Mechanism pieces until the whole "traitor" situation is dealt with. Also, I guess Gemini and Cannon escaped. Well. Not escaped. Escaped implies that they were ever truly caught. The Society doesn't really go head-to-head with what they call "creatures of the night." I guess that's our job.
It's still sort of fuzzy, but I swear I remember hearing a strange buzzing in my ear. Something about the 113rd Temple, Al Crow, and some sort of "beast." Which I guess is our problem to deal with, huh? It's weird. I haven't been able to reach anyone at the real Cafe and Diner. I hope nothing major went down. Last I heard, Crow was making some big moves. Well, it's been nice (except for the almost bleeding to death thing) to take a sort of break, but I should probably get back to my Cafe. Though I am gonna spend the rest of the day here with New Guy at the beach. I figure I can drive back down to the Cafe once the sunsets.
‘Til next time Palm Beach
