Subject: Bingo Cult
Capgras let me attend the Sunday night bingo game at the Sacred Hall of Bingo in Long Beach! I did not win. I don’t think I understood the strategy of the game. Next week I think I’ll do better, though! As for the Sacred Hall itself, I’m pretty sure it used to be some sort of diner. That or they retrofitted it to look like one. Also, I had a very cryptic conversation with the Elder Gameshow Host, Complexico. He gave us some cryptic clues to marinate over though he was very cagey about giving us any straight answers. Maybe next week, I can get the truth out of him.
S.O.T.
Complexico: Well, if it isn’t the Dover Demon!
Dover: How’d you see through my glamor so fast?
Complexico: A good host always knows his contestants.
Dover: Complexico?
Complexico: Correcto! So, what made you finally buzz in, Dover?
Dover: Oh, you know, just hanging around. Thought I’d give this Bingo thing a shot. There’s a lot more, uh—
Complexico: Humans?
Dover: Yeah! Humans. What’s with all the humans?
Complexico: You haven’t heard? Our bingo games have become quite the hit. I guess you could say all these folks are looking to be the next Doris O’Neal.
Dover: Doris O’Neal?
Complexico: They say she made quite the colored deal, snagged quite a steal, or perhaps it ended up more of a steel, as now she’s shackled up in the sky-like seal. Ready to buzz in?
Dover: Uh…
Complexico: Colored deal, steal as in take, steel as in metal, sky-like seal…?
Dover: Uhmmmm…
Complexico: Ugh. She’s—
Dover: No! No! Hang on! Let me try and get it!
Complexico: We’ll be here all night at that rate. Here. A card on the house, courtesy of the game master.
Dover: Jack?
Complexico: Incorrecto!
Dover: Jean?
Complexico: Incorrecto.
Dover: …Doris?
[Complexico let out a long sigh]
Complexico: It’s no fun when you can’t even buzz in on the easiest questions. Where is Shaka? Why aren’t they here?
Dover: Oh, you know, just busy and stuff.
Complexico: And you were part of the Last Cafe?
Dover: A truly pivotal member!
Complexico: Incorrecto…
