Well, good to know we’re starting off pretty easy, yeah? Book-king, 14th-15th century, don’t want to “lock” anything in… so you need a “key.” The Key of Solomon! One of the most well-know books in the coffee trade, and one of the more accurate Flipside accounts of general demonology. Though, I don’t really know what Complexico meant by it not “feeling right.” Well, actually, on that note…
What the heck is this next complexity? It’s… it’s totally nonsense, right? I… I don’t even know where to start! And, yes, I asked the cards for some guidance. I don’t think that’s cheating, right? But even if they COULD have helped, they aren’t. I just keep pulling up the 7 of Cups. Total confusion. Hmm… there has to be a reason the third line is missing the first letters of each word, right? Except… why isn’t “rapping” missing it's first letter? It would make sense with the quote, right? Ugh… I am not built for this kind of puzzle solving.

He was the magilla in Treme, True Detective and perhaps the Walking Dead?

WELCOME LADIES, GENTLEMEN, AND OTHERS, TO THE FIRST EPISODE (FOR HERE AND NOW, …AGAIN?) OF "STOP RECORDING WHAT I SAY, OBOONEXRE I DON'T APPRECIATE IT!"
Your loving cast of ill-intent:
Your Gamemaster: Oboonexre
Your Great Ape: Zehhurozzm
S.O.T.
Zeh: Return it to me. At once, Gameshow.
Oboon: Ugh. Déjà vu. Return...? What exactly?
Zeh: The Staff of Solomon. I know you took it from my collection.
Oboon: Did I personally take it? No. That would be rude. Also, do you mind if I record this for the folks back home?
Zeh: What? Gah, I hate dealing with you most of all, you know that, right?
Oboon: Lots of people say that. I don’t think they mean it, though. And I will take your exasperated grunt as a yes. Though I will note it was not an enthusiastic yes.
Zeh: I don’t have time for your delusions, Oboonexre. I demand my prize back.
Oboon: Funny you should use the word “prize,” actually. Well, not funny haha more funny in a cosmic sense. Though I don’t think you’d like the setup to that joke.
Zeh: Do I need to rip it from your gaudy green suit?
Oboon: Easy, Zeh, I don’t have it on me. I never keep prizes on me. I always give them to a third party for safekeeping.
Zeh: So, you admit you stole it from me?
Oboon: Again, I did not take it from you. I did use it as a prize, though, for my current game. I find it’s better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
Zeh: That is completely idiotic.
Oboon: Maybe, though it does tend to yield quicker results.
Zeh: Take me to your “third party.” Now, Gameshow.
Oboon: Hm. I will, on one condition, Ape. You let me record it. And use it for my pilot. Well, it’s more like a reboot- or a, well maybe a spinoff actua-
Zeh: Fine. What do I care? Now take me to MY prize.
Oboon: Alright, alright. Though fair warning, if someone were to win the game, it would go to them. And then, well, neither of us can get it.
Zeh: So, you will hurry, or you will suffer.
Oboon: Alright, alright. Pushy.
