	~~Ah, but what~~ is ~~an “Unspeakable Horror”? Besides being another name for Elders~~, ~~in the simplest of terms~~, it is ~~a being whose soul cannot pass on or reincarnate, granting them~~ the ~~curse or blessing of immortality~~. ~~Of course, an Elder’s body~~ can ~~be destroyed though most~~, if not ~~all, Elders~~ have ~~developed strong enough magic to safeguard their chosen bodies against any physical damage, including disease and aging~~. ~~Elders go by many names, such~~ as ~~Eldritch Beings, Old Ones, Aberrations, Abnormalities, Ancient/Deep/Unspeakable Horrors, Deathless, Nephilim, Granpè… And I’m sure I~~ could ~~go on and on. Though the most commonly accepted and most neutral of connotations tends to be simply “Elder.” And Elders come~~ in ~~three categories: Typical, Nephilistic, and Extracyclical~~.~~<br>~~		A quick way to know that the coffee has boiled over is when things go <i>Detroit ’72</i>. To say that things are or have gone Detroit ’72, or even just ’72, is to say that the worst-case scenario has happened. Often Detroit ’72 is used more as a warning that things can go wrong, not that they necessarily have yet. It is often used as a shorthand to express oncoming danger or peril that could result in death or worse.

	~~Typical Elders, usually only referred to as Elders~~, ~~are the common masses of the undying. How~~ one ~~becomes an Elder varies greatly from Elder~~ to ~~Elder~~. ~~Some stumble upon an erè in the Universe which corrupts their soul from mortal to immortal. A well-known example would be the Great “Ape,~~” ~~Zehhurozzm. A monkey—despite what he may claim—who drank the “primordial soup” which granted him immortality. Other Elders spring out of erè in the Universe themselves~~, ~~born from chaos, confusion, and concepts. A good example of one of those Elders would~~ be ~~America’s Favorite Gameshow Host: Complexico. He is a strange aberration in~~ the ~~Universe and is a manifestation~~ of ~~the concept of complexity itself~~. ~~Others pursue immortality on their own accord though such a task is messy and often produces a “half-Elder” or “Elderling,~~” ~~a being who mimics the immortality of Elders, though it is more so simply very difficult to kill.<br>~~		For example, one could say: “We need to clear our schedules should things go ’72 on us.” Meaning, “We need to be ready for the possibility of an employee dying or worse.”

	~~Then, of course,~~ there ~~are the Nephilistic Elders, better known as Angels, Celestials, Djinni, Devathas, Sidhe, and on and on~~. ~~Often considered more… benevolent(?) than riff-raff of the common Elders~~, ~~they are often much stranger than even common Elders. Plenty of Typical Elders have at one point been mortal~~ or at least experience some degree of mortality—Nephilistic Elders do not. They are the creation of the Universe and act as agents to serve and maintain its order. They often care not for mortal plights and see the world in unequivocal black and white. However, some of the younger Nephilistic Elders have displayed greater degrees of mortal sympathy, possibly due to being forced out of the Topside due to lack of status and space. While I would say Angels are “stronger” than Typical Elders, there are many weak Angels and very, very strong Elders.<br>		Another example post danger could be: “Things went Detroit on us back there.” Meaning, “Someone just died <b><i>or worse.”</i></b>

	~~Lastly there are the Extracyclical Elders, also known as Intercyclical Elders, Cold Elders, and… controversially, Archons. I suppose there~~ is ~~room for debate whether or~~ not ~~Archons are of a separate ilk to~~ the ~~Cold Elders, but for~~ the ~~sake of this receipt, we can consider them one and~~ the ~~same, no? As it turns out, the Universe does not revolve around itself~~. ~~Yes, it is all we know and all we possibly could know, but there are Universes outside~~ of ~~our own, and in those other Universes~~, ~~there~~ are ~~also Elders. And, as Universal Laws work differently~~ in ~~each Universe, some Universes offer greater opportunities to “travel” to other Universes~~. ~~While one might assume that Extracyclical Elders are the most powerful of Elders~~, ~~this is only partially true.

A quick way to know that the coffee has boiled over is when things go Detroit ’72. To say that things are or have gone Detroit ’72, or even just ’72, is to say that the worst-case scenario has happened. Often Detroit ’72 is used more as a warning that things can go wrong, not that they necessarily have yet. It is often used as a shorthand to express oncoming danger or peril that could result in death or worse.

For example, one could say: “We need to clear our schedules should things go ’72 on us.” Meaning, “We need to be ready for the possibility of an employee dying or worse.”

Another example post danger could be: “Things went Detroit on us back there.” Meaning, “Someone just died or worse.”

Things going Detroit ’72 is not the same as putting on the Neons or Closing the Cafe. Instead of a tangible reaction to a threat, things going Detroit ’72 often are in a hypothetical or existential sense. At any time, anywhere, things can go Detroit ’72, but that isn’t a good reason to always have the Neons on or the Cafe closed.

HISTORY

The term Detroit ’72 was coined by the original Owner of the Cafe and Diner. It is a very personal term to him, as his parents died at the hands of Miss. Cadillac in, you guessed it, Detroit, Michigan, in 1972. This event would spark an interest and obsession with the Otherside and the Coffee Trade for the Owner. It is also part of what shaped his unending optimism in life because, to him, nothing can be worse than what happened in 1972 Detroit.
