Infinite Gravity (Zero Rises)

SBW (1)

The Public Museum had been a bit less agitated than its usual. Victoria Hills greeted a group of tourists and guided them towards one area of the diverse cultural, geographical and mystical displays, while Bill Cipher came back from guiding a previous group he had gathered and waved them goodbye, making sure to induce them to buy something from the gift shop before they left. In the meantime, Marco Baker took care of the cash registre of said gift shop. He multi-tasked in checking out people while talking to Will Cipher, who cleaned behind a 'CAUTION WET FLOOR' sign he placed and did his best to pay attention and reply properly to the conversation.

"You really should go see the new coffee shop, dude," Marco said, after the tourist he checked out left.

Will hummed. "I'll tell my brother about it," he said. "What's the name again?"

" 'Crypt Cafe'," Marco smirked. "Owned by Lilith Crypt."

Will frowned slightly, slowing his movements. "The name sounds familiar."

"Guess not even you can't escape the popular names of our town." Marco chuckled. "She is one of our Guardians' protegee. The—"

The door of the gift shop opened. Bill fell on a chair near his brother as he wiped a sweat from his forehead. Will smiled softly at him. "Tired?"

"Pretty much." Bill sighed. "Yeesh! My battery is dead! Those were like, what, 20 groups or so?"

"At this point you know the Museum backwards." Will chuckled.

"Bare minimum at this point." Bill turned his head to Will. "Unless," he whispered. "There's some sort of hidden room in the Museum. We should try exploring more!"

Will shrugged. "It's possible," he whispered. "But we don't have a lot of free time now."

"Unless we're willing to skip work."

Will gave his brother an upset look. Bill laughed. "I'm kidding! We'll find time, don't worry!" he crossed his arms behind his head, looking at the rooftop. "But, man, I need a break!"

"Same, bro." Will sighed. "Same."

"Funny you mention," Marco waved a newspaper in his hand. "A new Cafe opened in town. I was at the opening and it was awesome." he smiled. "Pretty sure you'll like it."

Bill adjusted himself on the chair. "Can I see that?" he held out his arm to reach the newspaper. Marco hands it to him. Bill reads over it. "Haha, cool! I like the name!" he raised an arm and waved it in the air as he said the name out loud: " 'The Crypt Cafe'. Sounds fun to me!" he looked at his brother. "What do you think?"

"I like it too," Will replied. "Hopefully their coffee is good."

"Oh, I can guarantee you: it's great." Marco said.

"Guess we found our break spot!" Bill laughed. He looked for an address on the newspaper. "Where is it?"

"Right next to the Greasy's Diner," Marco said. "The owners are friends — Lilith and Susan."

"Sweet!" Bill looked at Will. "Heard good things about the Diner from Vic and some of the tourists. That's like a historical thing of the town — and has some of the best food too! We should totally check it out too!"

Will smiled and nodded. "Sounds fun too."

Bill looked back at the newspaper. He noticed that wasn't the front page, so he flipped back in curiosity. He raised an eyebrow and hummed. Will (who finished cleaning) leaned close to his brother. "What?"

'Dame Returns! Grand Reopening of Tent of Telepathy'

"Tent of Telepathy?" Will mumbled.

"Oh, yeah, one of our famous attractions," Marco said. "It was closed for a year, though."
