Summary of Receipt
Mon Amour continues looking into potential customers. The three from her Plane wouldn't be a challenge, since - as the Prince of Morningstar - she could just send them back by touching them. Instead, she suggests Mr. Perez, a Chupacabra, as their first 'true' customer. Since the various Mr. Perezs don't belong to any one Plane, that poses enough of a 'challenge' to send it back, and Perez's general friendliness means they'll be able to handle it easily.

CAFE RECEIPT
RECEIPT NUMBER: SFE04
RECEIPT DATE: X 27 19XX
MANAGER TITLE: MON AMOUR
RECEIPT NOTES:
While Felix has been keeping himself busy looking for employees, I’ve been working on getting us our first customers. As mentioned in my previous receipt, I’ve got three potential customers already in mind. Mr. Min, the Min Min Lights, Mr. Andros, the Chickcharney, and Mrs. Berkeley—the Nameless Thing. Each of those are cryptids and demons from my plane, the Morningstar, and so returning them should prove exceptionally easy. All I’d have to do is get close enough to touch them, and that should be enough to send them home. Though…
That isn’t what makes for a good first customer, is it? It almost feels like cheating if our first customer already belongs in my domain. With or without the Cafe, I could have already dealt with the Min Min Lights, Chickcharney, and Nameless Thing on my own. Of course, my siblings rarely bother with fetching absconding souls themselves. In fact, Satan tries his damndest to send his boogeymen into the Flipside. But, with all that said, I’ve been doing some research into some other cryptid and demon sightings we could investigate first.
And while I would love nothing more than to deal with your greatest tormentor, Miss. Cadillac, I think we should aim a bit lower for our first case. We will deal with Miss. Cadillac, my love, I promise. But… No “Miss.” or “Mrs.” customers. Not yet. An easy, friendly, stray “Mr.” would be perfect. And… I think I’ve found just the cryptid. Mr. Perez, a Chupacabra, has been spotted around San Diego. A Chupacabra would make for the perfect first cryptid, as no Prince of Hell has true domain over them, and they’re often quite friendly! Plus, we’d need to figure out which of the Seven Planes he escaped from, which adds a nice bit of challenge.
