Hover over the clues if you require!
Clue 1: I assume, if you're doing Taraxacum, that you know quite a bit about the Archives. What is a 'burger' or 'fast food joint'?
Clue 2: Mammon's Cult. Second Cafe.
Clue 3: Do you remember the Janitor, or Gilzer, sub-plot in Date With Death? What cults were said to be active there - and how are their codenames linked to the actual organisations, or their leaders?
Answer and Explanation
Answer: Luxor Las Vegas
Explanation: In JFB04, of Debt Come Due, 'DeLuxor Burger' is implied to be a cult of Mammon (in JFB03, the Daggers and Mammon were stated to be active; the other mentioned cult - Caesar's Salad Palace - is linked to daggers via Julius Caesar). 'Luxor Las Vegas' is a famous ancient Egyptian-themed casino in Las Vegas, playing into Mammon's theme of greed and wealth.

Well… if that ain’t a troubling sight here in Eden. No. 71 was right—what’s left of Mammon’s cult has been keeping themselves mighty busy, setting up some kinda… well, shoot, must be a ritual or something like it. Worse—Mammon himself is here, pitching in to get the job done. I don’t reckon we were spotted. We kept a good distance, and Mammon rarely pays attention to anything that ain’t shining. From what we could tell, though, it wasn’t just Mammon’s crew. Some Hauntaur-like folk were helping build what looks like a… gate, I guess.
Now, why would they need to build a gate, you reckon? If Eve’s planning to bust the Devil out of Hell’s Gates… don’t they already exist? Maybe Eden shifting back into reality has messed with the actual Gates of Hell, or maybe the whole “Gate” thing was just a metaphor what have you. Hell’s more like a quasi-pocket dimension God tossed the Devil into anyway, right? Doesn’t seem like it would need a physical exit… unless’n, of course, you build it one.
Anyway, we’ve seen more than enough. Got a few good pictures of the gate Mammon and his lackeys are working on, and we’re heading out right quick. Once we’re settled back down, we’ll get the magically inclined folks to take a look at what we saw and see if they can’t find some weak spots or what have you. No. 1331’s gonna debrief everyone tomorrow about the whole Eden expedition. Real twisted-up place, but worth the trip. We learned a lot, broke a lot, and sneaky little No. 3—well, she did what she does best and swiped quite a few trinkets and treasures along the way.
