Summary of Receipt
Manager 1, Manager 5 and Employee 17 meet Marie Laveau, the Queen of New Orleans. She, Manager 5 and 17 debate about their patrons (they’re all warlocks - 17 is of Lucifer, and 5 is…probably of the Wicked). Anyway, they discuss how to stop Mrs. Morrison - she’s of an ancient race known as the Fishfolk, of which there was a half-fishfolk half-demon prophesied to make an endless army of fishfolk. So Marie castrated him. Anyway, the only way to stop Morrison (temporarily - for 13 years) is to mark him with the blood of the Sunkenman of Algiers.

S.O.T
[The Queen] "Ah, if it’s isn’t [17]. What brings your traitorous face back here?"
[17] "Lovely to see you too, Marie.
[The Queen] "Have you come to spit in our traditions again? Or perhaps you’re looking for more kindling for your fires?"
[17] "There is time to berate me in the afterlife, for now I need your help."
[The Queen] "Why not simply ask your Met Tet? Oh, that is right, you severed your connection. And for who? Lucifer? And how is she doing? Is she still giving you all the powers you so desperately craved?"
[5] “Listen love, this a problem you created.”
[The Queen] “And who might you be?”
[5] “A warlock. Same as, [17], but we venerate different masters, choice? I’m sure someone of your caliber can tell that I still ‘ave my Met Tet, yeah?”
[The Queen] “Trying to impress me? Ha, you’re cute, but it’s not special to still have a Met Tet. It’s far more impressive to fully sever that connection in favor of a Prince of Hell. Besides, even with my… developed senses… I can not see a Met Tet just like that. If anything my powers in that regard have waned since my death.”
[1] “Sorry about them. Warlocks are… vainglorious at best. We came to ask you about [Mrs. Morrison].”
[The Queen] “Now why did you not just say so? You should let her speak for you more often! Yes, yes, [Mrs. Morrison]. I was foolish, but I still was able to stop an apocalypse, no? You all know stopping great threats has great sacrifices. Let me tell you, there are beings who lurk in the swamps and ocean. Beings before Bondye. Beings of elder blood. We have called them the Finfolk for as long as we have known of them. Of all the Finfolk there was one, half fin half demon. He was a devil baby and when he would grow he would be able to breed with other demons and humans to create an endless army of the Finfolk. So on his first birthday I cut out his testicles so he could never fulfill this dark prophecy.
[5] “Oi…”
[The Queen] “Ha! Sometimes we do dark things to save the light, no? Well, the only way to stop [Mrs. Morrison] would be to mark them with the blood of the Sunkenman.”
[17] “The Sunkenman? He is real?”
[The Queen] “Oh there are many things that are real, even though your prince told you otherwise. Yes, go find the Sunkenman of Algiers and get his blood. It can silence [Mrs. Morrison] for another 13 years.”
