Summary of Receipt
Silenziosa believes the Bingo Cult is considered a 'cult' due to Felix Blackwood's membership and his knowledge of many of Zulu's secrets. She also remarks that they're mainly dangerous due to their lack of a goal, which can be either very harmless or very dangerous. Still, she doubts Jean's truly a nihilist, and probably still clings onto some hope that Lucifer will return.

Receipt: ZZ-BINGO04
Author: Silenziosa
Status: Super Secret
Subject: Bingo Cult
My, it seems like everyone is running a cult these days. I wonder if I should make one, too? Though I suppose “Bingo” already has plenty of cult-leader experience. Well, I suppose with his newfound freedom, what else is poor Jack to do? Though I am still struggling to consider the Sacred Hall of Bingo a cult… Jack, Jean, Felix, Complexico, and Umbra hardly make a cult. If anything, it’s a Last Cafe meets Sons of Ill-Intent crossover, with special guest star Felix Blackwood.
Ah, Felix. I had truly hoped he would take his retirement seriously. He is not a young man anymore. Worse, he has let himself go completely unassisted by magic, meaning his days are numbered regardless. But I can only assume that Felix is why Alfa is treating Jack’s gentlemen's club as a cult, correct? Like Rune, he holds Zulu secrets. Possibly dangerous Zulu secrets. I feel that there is something I have not been told either by you two or Alfa, but I feel like Jack is merely a cover for Alfa’s interest in this Bingo Cult, and the true target is Felix.
Of course, Jack is dangerous too. Same as Jean, Complexico, and Umbra. I wouldn’t want to have to deal with any of them solo, let alone as a united force. And Jack… oh, Jack. I can’t imagine he came out of that whole ordeal entirely… sane. I suppose the most dangerous aspect of their cult is their goal, which appears to be none. Nihilism is a paradox, both very dangerous and extremely harmless. When nothing is all that matters, what matters is nothing. Though… I don’t believe Jean-Marc could ever truly be a Nihilist, even with Jack serving it to him on a silver platter. It’s not like him to believe in nothing… at the very least, he must still believe that somewhere, somehow, his Morning Star can return.
