Summary of Receipt
In the CAFE channel, Baltimore can now explain that the two investors are Mammon and Belphegor, Demon Prince of Greed and Sloth respectively, and two of Lucifer's older siblings. As for the actual deal, Belphegor has been entrusted with a 'powerful magical artifact' that is fundamental to the Universe's reality, while Mammon has asked the CaD to find...something, that would be very dangerous if he did actually get. Though Mammon doesn't expect them to find it soon.

CAFE RECEIPT
RECEIPT NUMBER: WTC02
RECEIPT DATE: X 21 19XX
MANAGER TITLE: BALTIMORE
RECEIPT NOTES:
They say never to make a deal with the Devil, but then how would I have met my beloved Lucifer? Not that she is the Devil, of course. But I’m sure there is some taboo against falling in love with the daughter of the Devil all the same. I believe it is clear that our other two investors are none other than Lucifer’s older siblings, Mammon and Belphegor. With their aid, we have been able to begin our Cafe and Diner in earnest in many more ways than just securing a physical location and forming a shell company.
As alluded to, the actual terms of our agreement are complex. Far, far beyond complex. And isn’t that I don’t want to share them with you, my beloved mon amour and trusted associate. But I fear that explaining the exact details would derail any progress toward what we are working for. Our Cafe and Diner. Our organization that will help maintain the ever-precarious balance between the Flipside and the Otherside. So, I beg your forgiveness if I am still being vague despite writing this in the CAFE channel.
As mentioned, Belphegor has been given one of my “antiques” to hold on to. It is, admittedly, a powerful magical artifact. Even calling a “magical artifact” feels like it belittles its importance. It is, in truth, a fundamental aspect of our very reality. This might seem dangerous, entrusting something so potent to the Demon Prince of Sloth. Well, she is lazy, isn’t she? I doubt she would have the drive to ever use it. And, as for Mammon, well, they have asked for something far more difficult to provide. They want us to find something for them. Of course, the Prince of Greed is seeking something. Something they probably shouldn’t ever get ahold of. At least they don’t expect us to find it anytime soon.
