“Buzz in when you know!” 
See: CX-TRG06 | 1 Word
<h1>Clue</h1>
Hover over the clues if you require! 
Clue 1: The last line, of course, is the most important. Think about what A, D and U could stand for, especially on a grid. 
Clue 2: Think something like...a text-based adventure game. Or, I suppose - why is padding needed? 
Clue 3: 5 across from 'k'... 

<h1>Answer and Explanation</h1>
Answer: Houndstooth 
Explanation: A means Across, D means Down, and U means Up. By following the instructions written on the last line (you move 5 across from the first letter in knight, K, and so on) and following the grid, you get Houndstooth.

Bit of logic, really. 5 Across, 2 Down, 5 Across… and so on and so on. Houndstooth, innit? I bet Complexico is right chuffed we use a monospace font in the CaDComs. Wonder if the Dark does as well? If not, we might just have the advantage here! Well… almost, anyway. We’ve got another more… I don’t know… “wordy” puzzle. Not good at those ones. Sorry. I mean, I get that the number of the Cafe and Diner has to be 8, right? But… that’s all I’ve got. Call me if there’s another simple and straightforward one, choice?

"Lo! So, you've made it this far, huh? 
Wow! How impressive. Ready for the pen-ultimate puzzler? 
How about something simple. Perhaps, something close to home? 
Pages are the "Name of this Never-ending Game" 
folded fancily by name and number of the cafe and diner"

<h1>Clue</h1>
Hover over the clues if you require! 
Clue 1: So...for the past few hidden receipts, you've had to find a connection between names, continue a sequence, and find four words, each linked to another set of four words. Does this sound...familiar, at all? 
Clue 2: Perhaps the similarity to the New York Times game 'Connections' is...something along the right track. Is there a gameshow you can connect these three puzzles to? 
Clue 3: What's the fourth challenge of Only Connect? The letters to be used should be clear, from the unused oddities of this puzzle - though apologies in advance. 

<h1>Answer and Explanation</h1>
Answer: Elsewhere A Happening 
Explanation: By taking all the capitals, you get LSWHRHPPNG. By filling in the missing vowels contextually, you get the answer.

WELCOME LADIES, GENTLEMEN, AND OTHERS, TO THE FINAL (FOR NOW) EPISODE (FOR HERE AND NOW) OF "STOP RECORDING WHAT I SAY, OBOONEXRE I DON'T APPRECIATE IT!"

Your loving cast of ill-intent:

Your Gamemaster: Oboonexre

Your Mysterious Benefactor: Shaka

Your Friend Friend Friend: Zeuzitxum

S.O.T.

Shaka: I can only make this work for a few moments.

Oboon: Should be more than enough time.

Shaka: Are you still recording this, by the way?

Oboon: Is that a problem, Shaka?

Shaka: Could be, depending on what our friend has to say in his lucidity.

Oboon: Of course, of course. Though that reminds me, will Secret know about this?

Shaka: ...

Oboon: I usually take your silence as a yes.

Shaka: ...

Oboon: Let me guess. Secret knows about a lot of your little side projects, huh? But he doesn't bother to tell the other Cold Elders because it's, of course, a secret.

Shaka: Our lips are sealed.

Oboon: Right. Well, then, shall we proceed with our ill-intent?

Shaka: O'tear'kes al ed omul al ed ot'jar atknas rep atikev. Mem oleic lo am’rav’lam il’ pa’jak aga ill’intent.

Zeuz: Ill intent, ill intent, ill intent, ill-prepared, ill-fated, I'll be right back. I'll see you in the morning. I-I- I- H- hi. Hi. I wasn't expecting you two.

Oboon: Yeah, sorry, the Ape-

Zeuz: No, I understand. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Shaka: It is understandable. It needs to be where it will be. Besides, I couldn't care less if that overgrown Ape gets it back or not. And Complexico didn't want to lose his prize. Though, why did you choose that as a prize?

Oboon: I keep saying it wasn't me who chose it! Well. I-I did. And didn't. The other me chose it.

Shaka: From the Apocalypse?

Oboon: Seems like it.

Zeuz: That is strange. Though, I am sure he knows something we don't. We can't all be infinite.

Oboon: Yeah, about that. I wanted to ask you, Cold. When are we revisiting the Apocalypse?

Zeuz: Soon. I think. Though I need something before we can go.

Oboon: Oh?

Zeuz: You're recording this, aren't you?

Oboon: How'd you guess, haha.

Zeuz: Well, in that case, I'll just say there is another 8.

Oboon: Another 8?

Shaka: Surely there can't be?

Zeuz: Well, maybe not the same 8. There is a weakness in the current design. A gear is loose.

Shaka: So, what's the plan then? Toss this new 8 into the Apocalypse and rewind again? We would first need-

Zeuz: No, no. Nothing that drastic. I just thought we could use another 8. Or, maybe I should say an other 8. Another. Another. Other. Other. Other. Otherside. Otherworld. Otherman. Other Otherman. H- h- hello. My name is Indrid Cold. Do not be afraid.

Shaka: Satisfied?

Oboon: I mean, not entirely. But it does clear some things up.

Shaka: Speaking of clearing things up, did your other self say why the Staff was to be the prize?

Oboon: No. We don't tend to talk much. Though it seems like the doll has a pretty big role to play here, huh?

Shaka: For now. Though I can only assume the Cafe will make quick work of the plaything. There's a darker force at work pulling his strings.

Oboon: Uh, yeah. That is their whole deal. They are the Dark.

Shaka: Darker than the Dark. Though I can't say much more than that.

Oboon: Darker than the Dark? Wait, do you mean the literal Darker? Or...

Shaka: ...

Oboon: Gotcha. Not something I need to know right now. Well, thanks for the help M.B.

Shaka: Always a pleasure, Game Master. See you again, in another other time and place.

E.O.T.
