Time to drop the act a bit, yeah? Not the, uh, well—actually, I know there’s been a bit of back and forth with the way I type, my accent, and the rhyming. Blimey, even my bloomin' name has come into question lately. To be crystal clear 'ere, I am exactly who I say I am; that is my real and truest name, and I’ve never even been to Brad Pitt, Alfie Moon, or 'eaven and 'ell forbid Leeds. Right? Good. Great. Anyway—I was referring to the caff lingo act… and I was gonna scribble up a bit about the Hatman, Mothman, and Redman.
Right, so I reckon the point still comes across for Redman and Mothman. Them two have been searchin' around for new members for the Hatman’s outfit known as the Dark. Mothman’s been takin' a more direct approach, attemptin' to break a few Maydaian demons out of Leviathan’s Locker. We gotta assume 'e was already successful, as we only caught 'im comin' back to tidy up the mess 'e 'ad already made. As for Rubeus Redman, 'e’s been playin' some sort of “game,” as 'e calls it, in Asmodeus’ nightclubs round 'ere. Some sort of test with an unknown black liquid… which… actually that gives me an idea. But I’m on “probation.” I don’t wanna be doin' anythin' daft, choice?
As for their gaffer, the Hatman, 'e’s been lookin' for the First Bible. Also known as the Enochian Bible, Angel’s Bible, or the “Universal Blueprint.” He’s been lookin' for that book for a donkey’s ears, maybe even centuries, at this point. Honestly, I’m not sure such a thing exists. It was only ever mentioned once or twice in some apocryphal writin's by the mystic John Dee. Even then, I think Dee was speakin' more metaphorically… or 'ell, maybe literally, in that 'e thought there was a 1:1 translation of the Bible into Enochian.
