Summary of Receipt
53 (Amber) figures out that Masoch is Le Loyon, the Ghost of Maules. She was in their files after her disappearance in 2013, which is strange since no Cafe was active at the time and actively focused on stuff like Masoch. So there are three options: either Masoch did it herself, the O.C. somehow did it even though they don’t use the Mr./Mrs./Miss. system, or Sophie Grenbelrn (belphegor) did something.

CAFE AND DINER RECEIPT FROM */30/19
MANAGER 53
RECEIPT: JULIAISHERE04
STATUS: OPEN
HANG ON, BABIES! IT. HAS. COME. TO. ME!! I know who or what, Miss. Masoch is!! Okay, yes, the name helped a little, to be fair, but I figured it out! Miss. Masoch is the Ghost of Maules a.k.a Le Loyon. So who/what is that? It’s this creepy guy who walked around in Switzerland for like 10 years. I mean, ok, there’s more to it than that. Basically, he’s a guy who wears a boiler suit and a gas mask and just walks around the woods. That’s all that is known about him a la Baltimore. Or maybe I should say wore? He disappeared in 2013 under mysterious circumstances. Some, pretty heavy and dark mysterious circumstances. However, I would say he probably didn’t commit suicide if he is here, stalking around Julia’s apartment.
NOW! What is ever so strange is that we already had Miss. Masoch in our files. The name is clearly tied to Le Loyon’s alleged suicide note, which would place it at around 2013. Problem. There was no Cafe in 2013. Right? The first Cafe was around from 92-97 and the second Cafe was around from 01-04. Then J-bae started this bad boy up in 2016, right? So….. where did this come from? It couldn’t be the Florida weirdos… they started up around the same time as us, like 2017 afaik. I mean… it COULD BE from the second Cafe. 2003 was right in their prime, though I don’t think they were too concerned with some forest creep at that time. Plus, like I said, the name. “Miss. Masoch.” It definitely indicates that this customer was named AFTER their “death” in 2013. Now, I know it seems like I do very little, but that’s cuz I tend to brew the coffee behind the scenes. And as someone who brews the coffee, this is very sloppy. Very, very sloppy. Too sloppy. Intentionally sloppy as all hell.
OPTION ONE: Miss Masoch did this herself somehow. We know who/what Le Loyon IS, but we don’t really know what Le Loyon can DO. Miss customers typically have a degree of techno-magical blah blah blah, so maybe it slipped itself into our systems? Why?? I don’t know. You know, the more I think about it, the less this one makes sense. So…. scratch that.
OPTION TWO: The Floridian Cafe has been around for longer than we know. This MIGHT be the case. From what I know, they all met in like 2006… so maybe this is just a weird remnant of their earlier work? However, the big problem there is they don’t use Mr./Mrs./Miss. Classifications. I guess they could’ve dropped them when they started dealing with the Dark… but… mmmm…. No, that doesn’t feel right either. Even if it was them, we can’t ask them now, seeing as they are Topside or whatever.
OPTION THREE: The investor. “Sophie.” The mysterious lady who gave J the keys. Hmmmmmm… I will leave it at that for now. I know the big number likes to discuss those kinds of things in person and not in writing.
