RECEIPT NOTES:
Alright, I think I'm picking up on the vibe around here, and I gotta say, it's pretty bleak. So, if you recall my last receipt, I mentioned that L.A. is next to a faultline, which allows the Otherside to leak into the Flipside more easily. With that in mind, the next logical piece of the puzzle has to be what part of the Otherside is leaking into the Flipside at this spot.
For the most part, where the Otherside "is" in relation to the Flipside is dictated by celestial phenomena. There are, of course, exceptions, and it gets even more complicated when it comes to non-natural links to the Otherside. But if we're talking strictly leylines, faultlines, and other natural connections between here and there, then it's pretty predictable. In fact, we have a big ol' celestial pendulum hanging around us at all time. The moon.
Depending on the phase and placement of the moon, one can guess where the Otherside is at the same place as the Flipside. Of course, this changes based on your relative position as well. All that to say, L.A. is lined up to the Hauntaurskald plane of the Otherside about two-thirds of every month. The only planes that don't appear naturally in L.A.'s rotation are the Ouroboros and Infernus. Ouroboros isn't that surprising; only a few spots globally line up with that plane and only during rare celestial alignments like syzygies. And from what I could tell, Infernus is just on the tail end of L.A.'s alignment rotation. If you needed to get to the Infernus, just take a trip over to Vegas. Not that there's much happening in the Infernus anyway :)
So, with our Cafe and Diner being set up here, it means we will most likely be dealing with boogiemen and other Hauntaurskaldian demons. It's definitely the roughest plane to be aligned to, but I suppose there's a price to pay for that west coast lifestyle, eh? However, I still see this as a positive. It means we're right where the worst of the worst will show up, giving us the best chance to protect the Flipside.
One last thing I figured I'd mention. I don't want to point fingers, but this location wasn't chosen by chance, was it? The location of the Cafe and Diner is in a rather unique spot, lined up almost perfectly with the eighth plane of the Otherside. Now I can imagine why Lucy might be interested in having the Cafe and Diner set up here... But again, I'm not pointing fingers. Who knows? Maybe it was just fate?
