This… isn't good. Well, I guess it could have been worse. The good news is that we do seem to be in the Otherworld, in the Olympus Plane. I knew No. 7 could do it! Though we're missing No. 7… so… I'm not sure how we'll get back to the Flipside. In fact, we're missing a lot more than just 7; we're down 35, 53, and the anagramable 116, 161, and 611. Though on a much stranger note, we're actually up one person—Mr. Rattazzi, the Underworld’s very own bard.
To be clear, Mr. Rattazzi is not the same as the cafe's other well-known lyricist, Mr. Rilke. Same name, different… people? I guess? No. 71 has been trying to explain it to me, and I guess the gist of it is that there is a good deal of overlap between Demons and Myths with Greek names/origins. Something, something, double Daedalus' and some sort of "Mythological Realism" theory she's been working on. But that's all she was willing to share due to the "covert nature" of the Espresso Affairs. She does know I'm literally No. 3 in this organization, right?
Regardless, Mr. Rattazzi has been more than accommodating to us so far. From what he told us, we ended up in the Elysian Descent, a series of twisting caverns birthed from the machinations of Chaos obscured by the darkness of Nyx. It's apparently a path out of the Underworld, the same path Orpheus was tasked with walking on in mythology. The same general rules seem to apply; don't look back, or you'll end up deeper in the Underworld than you started. While a potential path out of here is generally good news… don't we want to delve deeper into the Underworld? It's the whole reason we came here, right? Not to mention, we need to find out where the other half of our group ended up.
