Summary of Receipt
Bartlett and 611 obtain Tudor’s mirror shards. The only way to fix it would likely be with Shaka, since all other options are on the level of ‘dunk it in Miss. Augustine and pray it doesn’t become an Elder’. Bartlett warns them that with Manager 4’s arm infected, they are very, very much running out of time.

So we have the mirror now. Or, I guess, the shards of the mirror. Again, I don't think it's productive to point fingers around for why the mirror is broken. We should instead focus our efforts on fixing the mirror, right? And there are a couple of ways we could go about fixing it. However, pretty much every way we could fix it is another way to break it. And this thing's already pretty much shattered to pieces, so… hm. It's a real thinker, alright. I'd say we have one chance to get this right before it's back to the drawing board.
Not only that, we're on a bit more of a time crunch than before. I know Red said we have until April… but I think we have less than that considering the Big Guy's… uh… whoopsie. That thing isn't gonna heal. It's just gonna fester until we get Miss. Augustine out of their Cafe. If we get rid of Miss. Augustine, will it fix his arm? No. Probably not. But if we keep Miss. Augustine around it's only going to get worse. And if it was anyone else, I'd probably say arms aren't all that necessary. But… you and I know that it is one wicked bad cut. So, the faster she's out, the safer we'll all be.
I've got three main ideas. A good, a bad, and an ugly. My good idea is we make someone else fix it. Someone who's really good at this kind of stuff. Like Shaka or… uh… Shaka. Shaka. I think Shaka could fix it. A bad idea would be to let Miss. Augustine fix the mirror. That would probably work. But it could also invite a new customer altogether to the Cafe. You know. Cuz that's kinda how the whole thing works. And there is no guarantee that the new customer would be any better than Miss. Augustine. The ugly, UGLY idea is… we ask Mrs. Tudor if she can fix it. She probably could. It was her mirror, after all. But even if she can, I doubt she'd let us use it afterward. So! Maybe let's give Shaka a ring?
I’m also open to other ideas. But I’m only open ‘til the weekend cuz we are really running out of time here. Haha. It’s okay. It’ll be okay. Probably.
Comments
The_Librologist: I'd say Shaka is probably the best idea. For now at least. I can't really think of anyone else who'd be able to fix something like that... maybe Sophie? But I'm not sure how available she is right now.
