CAFE RECEIPT
RECEIPT NUMBER: CWCC05
RECEIPT DATE: 10 11 1988
MANAGER TITLE: BALTIMORE
RECEIPT NOTES:
8 is already proving his value to the Cafe and Diner in spades. While my trusted associate is an expert in obscure—and often questionable—magic, and while mon amour is a literal Prince of Hell… they’re both confined by their own preconceived notions of what magic is and what they believe it can be. But 8? 8 is an artist. He’s a poet. He sees what we cannot, thanks to his unique gift—his ability to grasp the big picture better than any of us.
With this vision, with his ability to connect dots we’d never even notice, to write new verses fresh from his own mind, unfettered by the cold, controlling hands of Fate—he’s found a solution to our Chickcharney problem. Typically, traveling to and from the Planes of the Otherside involves heading to their “capitals,” so to speak: Aurora, The Mammonsoleum, the Vile City, the Hollow, the Isle of Asmayda, and the Spire. All my trusted associate’s sigils would have taken the Chickcharney to Aurora. Even mon amour’s magic would have pointed us to Aurora. But 8? 8 found a better way. He simply crafted a new sigil—a direct route to Backscatter, powered by mon amour. She is the Morningstar’s simulacrum, after all. No corner of her Plane should ever be out of her reach.
In turn, the Chickcharney has regarded the Cafe and Diner’s service as exemplary. He felt treated with the highest degree of respect, and for that, he offered us a choice, according to mon amour. We could either accept his good fortune, for as long as it might last, or we could take a token from him—a silken feather granting us a rendezvous with one of his associates in Backscatter, a woman known only as the Oracle. Our fortune has already turned for the better with 8’s arrival, so I doubt even the Chickcharney’s influence over karma could surpass that of Fate itself. So… it looks like we’ll be taking a quick trip to Backscatter, once my trusted associate and 8 work out how to expand his newly minted sigil to accommodate the entire Cafe.
