Dicey Cafe

The «Dicey Café» (ダイシー・カフェ) is a café and bar owned and run by Andrew Gilbert Mills in the real world.

Description
The Dicey Cafe has a compact layout with only four tables and a counter with several stools next to it. Several shelves filled with glass bottles can be seen behind the counter. The cafe also has a poster for 9up, a parody of 7up, as well as a map of the United States that contains the name of each state except Illinois. A jukebox is placed against one wall, near an Uncle Sam poster. The cafe is a bright and colourful place that is both attractive and relaxing.

Background
As his parents took a liking to Japan, Andrew decided to open this cafe Okachimachi at the age of twenty-five. At some point, among his customers, Andrew found a beautiful and virtuous wife. During the Sword Art Online incident, Andrew was trapped in Aincrad so his wife kept the café alive until he came back to the real world two years after the start of the incident. After most of the players came back, the Dicey Café became the meeting place of many events, as well as FullDives. It became the host of the SAO clearing party, for a majority of players.

Although the cafe looks deserted during the day, Andrew claims that business picks up during the night.

Events

 * Clearing of Sword Art Online party
 * Kirigaya Kazuto was congratulated. In this event Andrew played a BGM from SAO, the Algade theme.
 * Excalibur retrieval party

Fairy Dance Arc
On the morning of January 20, 2025, Kazuto visited the Dicey Cafe to inquire Andrew over a image the latter had sent of a girl in a golden cage who looked strongly similar to Asuna, whose consciousness was still trapped in the SAO server. In response, the man described to the boy the creation of AmuSphere, a brief overview of the mechanics of ALfheim Online (ALO) and the goal of its players, and how the picture of Asuna had been taken inside the game. Having also explained that the screenshot was the only one he had found of any of the remaining SAO survivors that had not yet awakened, Andrew gave Kazuto a copy of ALO, extracting from him a promise to save Asuna and put a final end to the SAO Incident, after which Kazuto took his leave.
