PRIORITY: CAFE

CUSTOMER & ORDER: PLEASANT, COFFEE BLACK
SERVER: MANAGER
Right, heaven and hell, we caught up with Pleasant at the bleedin’ Denver Airport. Figured there’s only one drum out in Denver worth going to for a heap o’ coke like Pleasant. Slippery and smug as ever. But, if he’s telling the bloomin’ truth, it would seem that he has no interest in Umbra and Aka’s tulpa project. No… seems like the Rob Roy is trying to find the lanes between. Open closed doors. Damn it.
S.O.T.
Manager: OI! Dust-breath, end of the line.
Pleasant: Ah, [Manager]. How did you beat me here?
Manager: And spoil the surprise?
Pleasant: You’re no fun, you know that? So, what, are you here to stop me? On Cafe business?
New Guy: Stick ‘em up!
Pleasant: Ho... Savo al alm'adan otso ilora.
New Guy: Savo "al alm'adan otso" igitim, akan./
Pleasant: Hoa? Ilora ig atla'demonik akan. Leik sereti.
Manager: Eci. Both of you. Ringan Storm isn’t to be messed with, you know that. You can’t control—
Pleasant: Oh, I agree. Fully.
Manager: Wha—
Pleasant: I am letting those fools mess around with their lightning in a bottle. Let them get struck.
Manager: So… what are you doin’ then? Flyin’ ‘round the country and all that?
Pleasant: And spoil the surprise? Ha. Let’s just say you aren’t the only one who knows a few shortcuts. A few… lanes between.
[A dark energy began to amass around the Blue Mustang statue.]
Pleasant: See, I have no interest in playing with dolls. I have higher aspirations. Much higher.
Manager: Lanes between… you mean, the Ph—
[Pleasant held a single claw to his mouth, as he glanced upwards.]
Pleasant: Ascension. To reach realms you or I could only dream of. La alm'sigelo phorda sava age'eked sits sigelo phorda.
[Pleasant flew to the top of the Blue Mustang, and with a flash, was gone. Pleasant left the CaDCom Transcription Range.]
Manager: What was that he said?
New Guy: …To open doors that have long since been closed.
Manager: Damn it.
New Guy: What’s wrong, [Manager]?
Manager: As if one wasn’t bad enough…
