Well, well, well. It seems as if we need to track down the ever-elusive Shaka of Zulu… That is what I would say if we weren't a few doors down from the Zulu Cult. One of the benefits of working for the Lighthouse is we are an arms reach of most of our closest friends. However, Shaka himself can be a bit tricky to get ahold of. But from what I've heard, he makes at least one daily appearance in the Zulu Division's "office." If you can, call it an office. It's more like a church or chamber. Most offices don't have an altar and fog machines. Well, maybe half of that statement is true.
In any case, while I have been waiting here, I have been getting caught up with a few of the errant Zulus fluttering about. For a secretive bunch, they sure are chatty for a few pumpkin cookies and hard candies. In particular, the twins, Magogo and Solomon remind me of my own little Geminis. According to Solomon, Shaka has been increasingly busy as of late, popping in and out of the Zulu Chambers. As for why? Well, only the Devil knows, I assume. Even if these Zulus knew, they probably couldn't share. And Magogo mentioned that Shaka has been collecting "things" as of late. What things? As if she would say willingly.
That nasty little Code of Zilence sure is binding. I could never take such a restrictive oath myself. My lips are far too loose. However, I don't think Secret is all that bad. Certainly better than their other cohorts, Fate, Wicked, and Phantom. If anything, our little Cafe and Diner has been spreading his doctrine for years now with all these ciphers, codes, and passwords. A secret is only good if it's worth sharing, right? Well… I will continue to wait for Shaka to arrive to see if he can fix Mrs. Tudor's mirror.
