ADS06 (Apr 23, 2023)
Summary of Receipt
Pathologist, or Brent Hearse, leaves a receipt. He's the 'second opinion' Mercutio asks for, and lets the others know that he'll be able to head over in a few weeks while he closes up shop in New York - though he does mention that this won't be a 'formal employment application'. He's still no Cafe and Diner member. Lastly, he ponders why Capgras and Twain are making another group outside of the Zulus.

How curious. If this is what they consider a Cafe these days, it is sorely lacking. Not to mention over-salted. Though, I can’t resist a call for help, especially when such a fascinating specimen is involved. Though, if I am going to be helping out this two-faced Shaka and their sordid squad, I’ll need to close up shop in New York or at least find a suitable stand-in. Give me a few weeks to get my house and business in order, and then I’ll be down to help you with your passed Elder problem. I assume the body won’t decay. And if it does? Well, that is interesting.
Don’t consider this a formal employment application. Just because you gave me a CaDCom doesn’t mean I’m ready to get back into the Cafe business… even if the “Cafe” is less of a Cafe and more of a… well, what would you call yourselves? From what I can tell, you’re no Zulu Cult. That seems to still be a separate and distinct entity. I mean, of the six of you, only 2 are actually tied to Zulu and its Oath. You aren’t a Cafe either, despite the CaDComs provided by Blackwood. And your members are an Ozhog, a Juliett, an othertech-entrepreneur, and an actuary. You’re keeping rather strange company, myself included.
I suppose I am trying to figure out what exactly you two are up to. If you were trying to play your part, you aren’t playing it very well, are you? Sure, Shaka, the old one, was known to fraternize with many groups, even the Cafe and Diner, at various points. But Shaka never cultivated his own group outside of his Zulus. It would be rather redundant, don’t you think? Unless… your goals and the goals of the Zulus aren’t entirely aligned? Well, in any case, keep that body warm for me, as I’ll be there soon.
