Summary of Receipt
2312 and 71 decide not to help with the Langley stone search since it’s not really their thing, and decide to get them and the remaining First Cafe members to help out investigating Satan’s note. Except that it wasn’t written by him, it has the handwriting of Seth Warren. So now the next questions are why and how he’s impersonating Satan.

Huh, I kinda forgot about the whole big Satan in the room. I guess part of that is that since we moved out of Long Beach, we don’t exactly see him at the grocery store anymore. Though, Satan is probably still someone we should worry about. And not just Satan. His whole hellish parish, Janos, Fitch, and Cece are not customers to sneeze at. I’m gonna be entirely honest: magic stones and evil fountains are not exactly my thing. Same with No. 71. So, I think we’re gonna let you all handle the McGuffin quest, and we’re gonna do what we first Cafers do best: bug the hell out Satan.
I’m going to do my absolute best to get No. 1 and No. 2 on board as well, seeing as they were there last time, but I know they are busy, and one of them is directly related to this whole Langley business. But consider this an open invitation to join me and No. 71’s Satan Squashing Squad. I’ll have to come up with a better name for it… Or not. The more I think about it, the more I think I like Satan Squashing Squad. Alliterations are always a ton of fun, aren’t they? Oh right… the letter. The whole main deal with SYS.
It’s not Satan’s handwriting. It’s Seth Warren’s. Only Seth does his “ths” like that. Also, not terribly shocking Scooby Doo unmasking here… Seth gave you the letter. I guess the question now is why is Seth larping as Satan, and how did he get the blood signature to match. Maybe they’re working together? I guess it’s possible, what with Seth being a demon now and all. Plus, he’s a demon who has the power to warp between planes of the Otherside. Just saying.
