Summary of Receipt
Manager 0 leaves a receipt. He finds it possible that Manager 7 is an ‘Otherworldly 8’, and theorises that her arm markings are a manifestation of the Blight, similar to his eye. He decides to ask Manager 5 (Jericho Myerscough) - also linked to the Blight - for more information, as well as one of the still-living Princes of Hell.

I think it goes without saying that Manager No. 7’s... interaction with the Cath Palug is very odd indeed. In any case, Manager No. 7 is very special. There might be some truth that she is genuinely an Otherworldly Eight. Although, I suppose, time will tell.
First, she shows up after Broadway CaD returned from their own interdimensional adventure to the future timeline known as “Tuskkin,” claiming she needed urgent help. Second, she claimed she was being followed by a mysterious entity known as, well, we called it Miss. Masoch. Miss. Masoch was a pawn of the Elder known to us as the Wicked. The Wicked was not after only her but myself as well due to my “blight.” Long story. Not worth telling it here and now. But was Julia, or sorry, Manager No. 7, blighted as well? Could her arm be a manifestation of the Wicked’s blight? I mean, my own blight allowed me to see into the Otherside, and it seems her blight might enable her to control Otherworldly entities? No, it doesn’t exactly match up, does it? I should talk with the other members of our staff who are closely tied to the Wicked’s influence and see what they think. Perhaps they could shed some light on this. If anything, 5 is always good for a drink.
Once I showed up to help the former Broadway CaD the situtation devolved into Miss. Masoch/the Wicked trying to collect on my debt. Again, long story not the time or place for it. I think it is fair to say, however, that if Masoch was trying to collect my debt then perahps Manager No. 7 had or has a debt to pay as well. There is something here I am missing. I am sure of it. But what exactly? Ah, mon amour, if only you were here to lend your insights. I suppose I can settle for one of your siblings. But which one?
