ITN01

Summary of Receipt

Black Coffee considers this a half success and temporarily relaxes the conditions on what goes in the Cafe or the Diner channel. Also, their main concern right now is Galao, who’s now just a regular human.

RECEIPT AS OF: 9/01/01
BARISTA ON DUTY: BLACK COFFEE
RECEIPT FILED AS: ITN-01

Well… half success. We’re still not entirely sure what happened, though the outcome is more than clear. The Taglocked Tag sucked us into the Necropolis. It must’ve reacted with Galao’s own powers, probably because, in a way, she was already tied to another of the Tags—Simulacrum and all that. I hope this receipt is making it to the CaDCom Database. I received a message from Lungo saying that our CaDComs should still work as normal, though our sense of time will certainly be “off.” Seeing as we aren’t exactly State-side at the moment, it’d get cumbersome to make every receipt Cafe or higher, so I’m temporarily loosening the expectations of the Diner.

So, the current rules are: General locations are fine for the sake of the Diner. There’s no point in dancing around where we’re at, right? Necropolis, Spire, Labyrinth, Rings, etc. Customers should still be referred to by their Cafe name, though due to the nature of the customers we’re bound to run into down here, we can drop honorifics for the Gens-Diabolique and probably just call them by their first names if they have one. Anyone higher than the Gens-Diabolique should still be referred to by full honorific in the Diner. As for the general atmosphere—think of this like a casual Friday. Or… wait, it’s Saturday now, according to my CaDCom. Casual whatever-day.

You can all still keep things Cafe if you’d like to, though, especially if you plan to get detailed in your receipts. We’re in uncharted territory, unfortunately. Hopefully, we can find our way home soon. Though, Galao’s powers have been… Uh, well, we’re still trying to assess the full damage of it… but… she’s basically human now. So, we’re trapped here unless we can find a cheap flight back.

Yours, in a sense, deceased,
