It’s good to be back. Though I left the Second Cafe on… less than amicable terms… I always missed it. Yearned for another sip of that silky black brew. There is something about working for the Cafe and Diner which I cannot explain. There was a saying I heard a few times, something along the lines of: “The Cafe and Diner is always so much trouble—but always worth it.” Perhaps that best sums up my feelings for this endeavor. Besides, I was beginning to grow a bit restless with our current work.

To catch our fresh blood up, I suppose I should explain a bit about what the Cafe’s goal is and how it should be run. Simply put, the Cafe and Diner seeks to maintain the precious balance between the Flipside and Otherside. It hunts wayward cryptids to return them to their rightful home and deals with demons who threaten the established order. It’s not too dissimilar to the odd jobs we’ve done in the past. And, I imagine, it has some similarities to your prior work at the Company, R.

As for these strange bricks with screens—well, I must admit they are a bit outdated, aren’t they? Glorified word-processors. But, don’t be mistaken, these bricks contain a glut of Othertech, which allows them to do… well… as much as our cellphones nowadays would do. But back in the early 90s, these were quite impressive. Still are—to some extent. But the important part for you to know is the difference between the three channels they operate on. There is the DINER channel, CAFE channel, and AND channel.

DINER

Largely unencrypted, and as such, you should be careful with what you say there. Encode your text with “Diner-Speak” thematic euphemisms to obscure the true nature of our work. There are already a good deal of established codewords, which N.L. and I can catch you up on in person.

CAFE

Lightly encrypted. The actual encryption is nothing terribly special in the Flipside—but the lateral logic tends to be more than enough to keep unwanted demonic eyes from uncovering our secrets. Still, mind what you say here, as a few demonic and other entities can bypass this, not to mention the Indigos.

AND

Then, there is the AND channel. It is more or less the same as the CAFE channel, except the receipts written here are “unlisted.” Only those who know where to look can find them. This channel is good for private thoughts or especially sensitive information.

That’s all.
