Subject: Another Debt
Be not afraid.
Though I’m not sure how necessary that is, all things considered. I suppose it’s a good habit, if nothing else. I was wondering if there would be one last cup of coffee, and it looks like there shall be. Well, there would have been another cup of coffee, regardless. There always is. Even if you aren’t the ones to serve it. And it certainly feels like this will be your last. Coffee does eventually go cold, after all, and if someone were to re-spark a true Cafe and Diner, I’m afraid they would’ve already done so.
What is a Cafe and Diner, anyhow? Does it require the 8 to be legitimate? Or does it merely require good intentions? Or… perhaps it only necessitates a certain blessing. I have seen many organizations who would qualify as a Cafe and Diner, though they lacked the theming. Perhaps that is it? Outward aesthetics are what make a Cafe and Diner so? Hm. I wonder if the next Cafe and Diner would even be called as such? A blend by any other name would brew as black, I suppose.
In any case, the Court is in total disarray again. We are rapidly heading toward an ending, a rewinding if we are lucky, and so much deliberation is left to do. More than just the Caelus is rotting, you know. In Spheres past, should the Devil escape or be freed, the Bird was quick to reset things. This is something of an oddity, then, isn’t it? The Devil and the Bird finally having their prophesized battle for control of the Universe. God’s Debt comes due at last.
Win, lose, or draw; it is unlikely this current Sphere will go unchanged. Should Bird win, He is certain to rewind things as He has in the past. Should the Devil win, things will likely be rewound much, much further. Seeing as things are already falling apart, a draw will likely only lead to a slow and quiet death. Waiting for the outcome is agonizing. Allowing the outcome to proceed without our input? Well—the trouble always seems worth it in the end. There is one other of the Last Cafe who I would like to invite to our final service, as I am certain he would like to see the ending for himself.
