Five hours later, after resurrection and arrival at the Speedwagon Foundation HQ located in Arcadia.
Before Chara leaves planetside for Cevanti
The drive that Josuke rode in Roxanne's Bentley sedan with Mr. Duvall behind the wheel lasted for about two hours. Roxanne sat beside Josuke while they rode in the back passenger seats that were ultra-luxurious. Pleasant classical/jazz music played on the radio; Roxanne usually relaxes while listening, but Josuke doesn't mind the music. This style of music is neither terrible nor excellent for Josuke's vibe. He'd prefer something pop or rock for the radio to play, but this was Roxanne's car, so the stand user respected her decision on what the radio plays.
While sitting comfortably, he slides his hand into one of his pants' pockets to grab a note he received by mail; surprisingly when the boy finally comes back to life. His eyes examine the small piece of paper and read the handwritten inked words.
Meet me at Rockin' Billy's Diner
PS: You still owe me a burger
-Chara Dreemur
A soft smile curls on Josuke's face remembering a bet he lost back in the barracks when the pre-show ended in Dante's Abyss. Sadly, Josuke and Chara didn't get to form their partnership in the game, but it was probably for the best since he couldn't bear seeing her die in his arms, corresponding to how his other friends suffered. Still, his mind thinks about if Nearl or McNinja returned to living as he did. They might cross paths again outside the chaotic, competitive Syntech game. For the remainder of the ride, he looks outside the window at the passing farmlands with massive crops spanning far as the eye can see.
Twenty-five minutes later, they arrive at the diner that Josuke requested Mr. Duvall have them stop by before entering Morioh. The Bentley rolls into an empty parking space in the diner's gravel lot.
"Are you coming, Roxanne-san?" Josuke was curious if she wanted to grab a bite while they were here for him to meet Chara for a short time.
"I will pass on your offer. This place doesn't have the class for me to sit down to enjoy a fine meal." Roxanne presents her elegant, snootiness nature toward this average diner that doesn't fit a well-woman like her.
The pompadour delinquent shrugs at her response, and before he can open his door, Mr. Duvall shows his chauffeur expertise for Josuke. With the swift opening, the stand user is exposed to the bright outdoor and stands up, planting his violet shoes on the loose gravel ground. After exiting the ultra-luxurious vehicle, the chauffeur shuts the door and walks back to the driver's side front door, reentering the car to keep it running for his boss. Josuke walks forward to the diner's entrance with double regular clear glass swing doors with handles. The restaurant had a rockabilly 50s theme with the exterior and interior.
Some classic steel cars that fit the specific iconic decade for the restaurant's theme remain parked outside in the gravel lot mixed with other modern vehicles. He enters the establishment and looks around his surroundings to spot Chara if she's present. It was the afternoon, well past lunchtime, but Josuke didn't care to grab something to eat with a friend. Besides, being dead from before did work up an appetite for him to fill. For the past days, he only had terrible Syntech-made MREs that made him want to eat dirt instead.
After searching for Chara, he suddenly spots her in a red booth where she sits alone. Josuke smoothly approaches the booth, giving off a kind and friendly nature vibe.
"Oi, Chara, great to see you well and alive. I wasn't sure if I was the only one returning from death." Josuke waves and smiles wildly in relief to see the normal state she's currently living.
"Finally, we meet again, Josuke. I'm glad too that you made it out alive." Chara feels reassurance about Josuke's heath, smiling slightly at his appearance.
The pompadour teenage boy enters the booth on the opposite side across from where Chara sits to face her. A young waitress dressed in a cute 50s diner uniform walks over to see the two customers seated in the non-vacant booth.
"What can I get y'all for drinks today?" The pretty waitress asks for Josuke's and Chara's orders, patiently waiting for them to decide.
"I'll have coffee and cream, please," Josuke announces immediately on what kind of beverage he requests while waiting for Chara's order. Still, she lays a menu out in front of her, looking at all the options ranging from juices, milk, sodas, tea, and milkshakes.
