I think… Well, I don't know if that was Miss. Bad… or… someone who just looked a lot like her? I asked No. 4, and he said it couldn't have been Miss. Bad because Miss. Bad's got a more petite frame though there's apparently no clear distinction between what makes a Miss. Bad looking customer and what makes a more… Edgar Allen Poe-looking customer. Though No. 4 was confident that No. 1313 would've known if Miss. Bad was more of a Poe than a… crow. Sorry, I know it's a little more Cafe than Diner, but I had to take the rhyme! Anyway, there was certainly someone fluttering about the Cafe.
Another reason I'm not sure if it was Miss. Bad or not is because this customer had a very masculine-sounding voice. I know that there's no correlation between how masculine or feminine someone's voice is based on their title, but I was pretty sure Miss. Bad identified as a woman. Women? Well, see, that's another reason that maybe it was Miss. Bad after all. She's supposed to be able to throw her voice three ways, right? Maybe one of her voices just sounds very… deep. Like a raven! I guess crows can also have deep voices, but I looked it up on YouTube, and I could swear this customer sounded like a raven.
And Miss. Bad hasn't been the only, as No. 5 would say, "bird" in the Cafe. We've really got to work on patching up some of the windows in here. I don't think we'll go all out and redo the stained glass or anything, but some boards or something. I mean, it doesn't rain that often here, but we'd be in trouble if it did. Oh, and also keeping the general wildlife out of the Cafe would be nice too. I guess in that sense, I could've just been seeing things, but I'll have No. 62 set up some sort of camera to keep an eye on who's actually coming into the Cafe.

I can confirm that No. 611 wasn't just seeing things. We definitely had another customer come into the Cafe unannounced, and as far as I or No. 1313 can tell, it wasn't Miss. Bad again. Though this customer does look similar, as No. 4 has pointed out, he definitely has a bigger frame than Miss. Bad. The strange thing is we've seen him come in and go out but still be in the Cafe. It could be a glitch with the cameras I set up, but by all accounts, it's as if he's in two places at once.
And, yes, this customer has been staying in the Cafe after hours. Using the footage, we've tried to track down where he should be, but no one's been able to actually see him in person besides No. 611. There's a chance he's some sort of Ottawa customer, though I can't help but feel like he looks more like he's from Quebec. At the very least, he's not showing up on any of our usual customer metrics. Maybe No. 7 can do her thing to get him to stop and actually talk with us before just running out on his tab again.
Ah, and yes, I think we're going with "Mr." for the time being. He certainly seems like a Mr. to me. Then again, he might turn out to be like Miss. Bad, where there's a lot of hidden power in such a small package. Hard to say without actually talking to the guy. Maybe we can board up the windows once we see him come in. I'm not sure he actually knows how to get out any other way. He seems like a bit of a birdbrain. I sure hope he is actually a customer and No. 611 hasn't just lost his mind.

Strange things about lately, huh? It could be Mercury entering into Pisces, perhaps things have always been this strange, and we haven't been able to comprehend them until now. I mean, I can barely wrap my head around all of this as is. And as strange as it already is, I fear it will only get stranger from here. Gross. Fear and here. I'll try to keep the rhymes in check, or should I say, leave the rhymes to Miss. Bad's checks? Anyway, sorry for rambling. We did actually get another regular order.
Seems like it could be a doozy. Reports of a Mrs. Entwistle, very haunting stare with a capital H. She's known to be pretty quiet and very gorgeous, almost like a movie star. We can assume someone so famous enjoys the nice hair of the dog that bit her, and she probably reaches for a Corpse Reviver most mornings. She's married, but not so much by choice. From what I've heard, she had a streak of unfortunate events follow her around, and anyone who gets too close to her, which is what led to her settling down.
Seeing as it's so close by, I already went out to take a look with No. 4 and 5. Nothing was out of place as far as we could tell. It was pretty mundane overall, I guess. I mean, it's just a bunch of big letters in the middle of nowhere. Though No. 5 did spot a lot of "tourists" hanging around. 23 of them. Which probably means they either got to Mrs. Entwistle first or they're also looking for her. Maybe No. 62 or 35 can dig something up about why they're here or what they're doing.
