Wow, that's the first Diner Diner receipt on the new system. I'm both honored I'm the first to use it… and also not surprised. I mean, usually, it's the Owner of the Cafe who uses this extra channel the most. I figure, seeing as it's a DD receipt, I can drop any of the usual name censoring. Plus, I… kinda want to make sure Dalisay's Errata blocker is working. Obviously, it is; otherwise, we'd probably be dead by now. Obelus does not like being called out by name. Still, we should probably play it safe when possible. We're not trying to unsheathe a bunch of daggers right now—we're just trying to get one lovely Chupacabra home… I sure hope this gets easier.

Hibiscus: Elizabeth…?

Elizabeth: Let me guess… another "Cafe and Diner" employee? Look, you guys—

Hibiscus: —need to leave you alone. I know. My name is Coraline, and I'm the Cafe's Owner. Do you have a second to talk?

Elizabeth: I guess… but you can't change my mind. It's not safe. Not for me, not for Simon, not for any of you. Laying low is one thing, but opening up a portal? They'd sniff that out so fast—

Hibiscus: I can keep you safe.

Elizabeth: I appreciate the offer, but there's no way—

Hibiscus: The Orpheus Bureau won't be able to find you. Obelus won't be able to find you.

Elizabeth: Keep your voice down! What the hell are you doing?!

Hibiscus: Hey, Obelus, Elizabeth Lewis is here and she's going to help the new Negative Eight, Coraline Dometo, open a portal to the Downside. Errata, errata, errata—etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Do you think I should use her real name? Would that grab her attention?

Elizabeth: Don't you know what they'll do to us?! Oh god… oh god…

Hibiscus: Well… I'm waiting.

Elizabeth: …It’s… It's a trap. They're going to—

Hibiscus: Do nothing.

[I pulled out a CaDCom-Alpha.]

Hibiscus: This is a CaDCom, a Cafe and Diner Communicator. More than just serving as a way for us to document our work, it can block Errata-Based Meta Filters. It's a new feature courtesy of Dalisay. Look, we'd really like your help, Elizabeth, but I understand why you'd rather lie low. This'll help. Keep it with you, and you should be cloaked from the Orpheus Bureau. You don't have to work with us or anything… but it'd be great if you would.

Elizabeth: I… Are you sure? Are you 100% positive it works?

Hibiscus: It works. I can feel it. Plus, they'd have been here by now, right?
