Summary of Receipt
M.J. finds the CaD’s base of operations. He goes ‘wow this game has a high budget’ and figures out what the numbers mean - Lucifer, Mammon, Satan, Belphegor, Beelzebub, Levithan, Asmodeus, Elder, Nephilistic Elder, and Extracyclical Elder. The higher the number, the more linked to that thing the demon is. Thus, since Jason’s linked to Satan the most, he’s Hauntaurskaldian.

CAFE
DATE: 5/17/2016
Okay… so this is weird. Like, in general, weird. Cool. But weird.
Again, the production value is through the roof on this game. Maybe it's like an extended escape room? Because I don't think J.L. could afford a whole fake Cafe like this. I mean, the space is super cool. It's got a Cafe and Diner front, and then in the back, there's like a massive vault, a bunch of computers, holding rooms, a huge break room. I mean, this is Long Beach property. It's gotta be in the millions, right?
Anyway, I started messing around with the "blood" data and came up pretty empty on my laptop. It doesn't seem to be a code of any sort. Or, if it is a code, I don't have enough information or a large enough sample to start solving it. However, when I started messing with the data on the computers in the Cafe place, I did get some new information to pop up. It seems like the letters next to the numbers are:
Lucifer, Mammon, Satan, Belphegor, Beelzebub, Levithan, Asmodeus, Elder, Nephilistic Elder, and Extracyclical Elder.
I know, I know, I'm an absolute tech-WIZARD to have figured this out, right? Well, kinda. I hovered over the letters with the cursor. So, I mean, I recognize Lucifer, Satan, Beelzebub, and Levithan. And I did some quick searching and found that Mammon, Belphegor, and Asmodeus are also demons. Apparently, the seven of them are the Princes of Hell, according to Peter Binsfeld's Treatise on Confessions by Evildoers and Witches. Also, totally a guess, but I'd say that this customer's blood data is strongly correlated to Satan if that's the case. Again, according to Binsfeld's hierarchy, Satan is the Demon Prince of Wrath. So, this customer is probably a pretty angry guy.
So… what do we do now to progress in the game?
