Clue
Hover over the clues if you require!
Clue 1: It really is quite fun to go back to the classics. Any number-code the CaD used to use?
Clue 2: A certain Menu Code, maybe.
Clue 3: See the Zodiac files for how the Menu Code works.
Clue 4: Shift the 'wheel' such that Orange Juice - number 14 - corresponds to A and Q, with the other numbers and corresponding characters shifting similarly.
Clue 5: '1:01 PM sharp' doesn't correspond to 10-1. Treat the 0 simply as a space - or maybe as an asterisk.
Clue 6: Who are the Anathemas? Refer to LBN06. You'll have to figure out their real names.
Answer and Explanation
Answer: Jean-Marc Sahir Aelan Jennifer Nicholas Alex Salenna Felix Nicole
Explanation: The numbers are Menu Code, which when decoded with Orange Juice says “Anathemas By Name”. Writing all the first names of the Anathemas gives the answer.

BLOODY HELLS. LAWDS ABOVE AND BELOW ME, WHAT A NIGHTMARE THIS HAS ALL BEEN. I hope, lord help me, I HOPE, I’ve proven myself to you lot now. Do you know how long it’s goin’ to take for me eyebrows to grow back? It’s not going to be pretty, innit? And- wait. I don’t have to do my cockney gimmick here, do I? well, that’ll make typing this out easier than the usual fair, I suppose. Though, I am actually rather peeved about my eyebrows and the general lack of safety this whole “initiation” had. But the past is in the past, we’re all still alive, and I am ready to defy.
Question though—is Victoria and Julia in on this as well? And what about Amber? It seems to me that a lot of the Cafe is starting to catch on to secrets this club is trying so desperately to cling to. Why’s that? I’m sure Nick can fill me in as he is generally wiser to these sorts of things than I am. I just want to make sure I’m not stepping out of place, choice? I almost died to join this group, and I’d rather not screw it up again. Assuming it was actually me who screwed it up the first time around.
Another question that’s on my mind with this whole Satan business… What’s our end game? I know the old man said we’re going to be killing off the lot of them, preventing Satan from escaping, but don’t we have more pressing things to worry about, like his brother who is actively trying to take control of the bloody universe? Hell—I’m not even all that concerned about Mammon. It’s just Mammon. He never wins these sorts of games. I’m worried about his coconspirator, Belphegor. She’s what, the oldest and strongest of the Princes? The fact that she’s doing anything at all is a bit terrifying. I get it, she was on our side at one point, but clearly, ever since this Otherworld popped up, she sure has been taking her swings at us. Like I said, Mammon, we can handle. We can defy his will. But Belphegor? Jean… I understand she’s your mate… but lord, she’s starting to act more like a friend than a mate.
