Well, it would seem that I haven't gone crazy yet. We did indeed have a new customer come into the Cafe last Sunday, Mr. & Mr. Inn. They're brothers. They are both very clever, and yet… not all that bright. To put it bluntly. Bird-brained is probably the most accurate way to describe them. And unlike Miss. Bad, who is single and ready to mingle, Mr. & Mr. Inn are firmly set in their fraternal companionship. Of course, the Mr. Inns are closely associated with a presumed Miss. Wednesday, though she has not yet graced our Cafe with her presence. That we know of. I suppose the Mr. Inns were supposed to do that for her.
With the appearance of the Mr. Inns, we are starting to learn more and more about the layout of Quebec and how its customers might be distributed. We've known for a while that there should be four regions of Quebec, but I believe it's safe to confirm at least two of them now. Of those regions, we've picked out some appropriate drinks to satisfy those particular customers' thirsts, Apple Juice and Mead. Apple Juice for customers like Mrs. Kay, Mrs. Lludd, and Mr. Cowon and Mead for Mr. Inn and Miss. Wednesday. Of course, that still leaves us two drinks short, but I'm sure we'll figure them out in time.
As for Mr. Inn, we did send him on his way home. Usually, No. 7 is the one to ring out our Quebec customer's tabs, but Mr. Inn knew the way back up north on his own once we let in some air. How Mr. Inn intends to book a flight is still unknown, but we figured it was best to just let him do what he needed to do. Of course, we came to that conclusion after a less-than-successful attempt at following him. So, we win some, and we lose some. Hopefully, word of good and accommodating service reaches Miss. Wednesday.

Once again, Miss. Bad has left us a poem upon her check, though coffee might have been spilled upon it—at least a speck. If her words are to ring true, and her kin from one plane flew. And should logic follow suit, Mr. Inn took a northern route. This leaves us with two more regions unknown, though some hints were left by the crone. A place where swans are lined with gold, and place where toads are bold. If I had to wager a guess, it wouldn't be long before we see their mess. And to hint and connections most prideful, the cause of Quebec might indeed be spiteful. Though I was unaware she was with child, it would seem her babe's powers are rather wild.
Miss Bad
Babe of Lucifer with locks of gold,
Half-Prince unleashing horrors fourfold.
To the north where Ravens fly,
To the south where the Golden Swan lies,
To the east where the Princess and her toad plots,
And in the west we Crows circle the ersatz.
Yet, do not blame your kin 'n youth,
For the man in gold cuffs knows the truth.
He too seeks the prize in and at the End,
My advice would be to trust your friends.

I think I know what the S&P meant by 7N now. It seems like we have a more tangible customer at the sign, Mrs. BECky. She enjoys Corpse Revivers despite her young age. She's rather rambunctious, always ending up with a black eye or two. I'm pretty sure all three Cafes have dealt with her or one of her siblings before. She might be a Mrs., but her individuality makes her less of a threat. Unlike her other siblings, Mrs. Becky requires an explicit invitation to dine in or out. It's not out of the realm of possibility to assume that she was invited by S&P to keep us occupied while they hid their LA project from us.
As for Mrs. Entwistle, we either believe she already paid her tab or never came in, to begin with. Still, the initial reports are concerning and line up with the flyer we found from the Lighthouse. Howls louder than wounded dogs from an un der pass are never a good sign, especially when heard throughout the dead of night. Well, if you consider 8:21 P.M. to be the "dead of night." You might need to check my time on that. Though with all the presumably displaced Corpse Reviver drinkers, it might not be all that surprising to have some blood-curdling wailing every now and then.
Well, as for Mrs. Becky, No. 44A has said she can take care of them. She apparently had to deal with quite a few of them back when she was in Florida, as they were often a favorite of Miss. Umbra. While No. 44A handles her, No. 6, 17, 62, and I will see if we can't figure out what Project LA is and how to stop it, if need be. We probably don't have too long before the S&P wipes everything, so hopefully, No. 44A can put on a good show.

We've received reports of a rather troubling customer over where the sun rises. A bit out of our way, but considering the customer, it's worth the trip. We had previously established that this customer had no interest in the Cafe and Diner, but it seems that has changed since they moved to Quebec. Luckily, No. 26 can book us a flight, so myself, along with No. 4, 71, and 53, can take a look. No. 71 is tagging along for the espresso served over there. No. 53 due to her unorthodox and undisclosed connection with Quebec customers. And No. 4, because, well, we might need the muscle.
Mrs. Mizuki enjoys a runny egg yolk despite being as thin as bones. Getting her to eat is hard, and we're worried she might be starving herself. Of course, she loves to be the center of attention and is always living large. She's at least 15 times bigger than your average customer, so I worry we won't be able to sate her endlessly starving appetite. If Mrs. Mizuki is here and has the same general customer behaviors as other customers from Quebec, there's a good chance Miss. Satsuki shouldn't be far behind.
Due to her larger-than-life status, it hasn't been hard to track her down. She Only Gets Interested when the lights are off, it seems. Maybe that's what drew her there. While it is a stretch, I think she might avoid heavily developed places, not due to the people but the electricity. Thankfully, not many have seen her, and those who have are friends or family. Despite her immense size and strength, she should be containable, but I'll leave that up to No. 4 to figure out.

It would seem we've gotten another report of yet another strange Quebec customer. Mrs. Celaeno, like Miss. Bad and Mr. Inn, is also a bit bird-brained, though she takes her coffee with more of a half-and-half. And, while I could be mistaken, I believe she enjoys another new type of drink, something luxurious and exotic like an Ichor cocktail. I imagine it is similar to a Blood & Sand cocktail or a Bloody Mary. The actual drink is, of course, less important than the name.
I suppose there could be some confusion over whether Mrs. Celaeno prefers Apple Juice, Mead, Ichor, or the fourth drink No. 1 is looking into right now. To be fair, she doesn't seem to be that picky of a customer, and we've had customers like her in the past as well. Though, from her description, she sounds a whole lot like someone Virgil or Hesiod would be familiar with. We also can assume she is married as it seems she's got quite sharp nails which she isn't afraid to pull out if service is subpar.
As for where Mrs. Celaeno has been spotted, family has seen her swooping by the Hum out in the Land of Enchantment. Once No. 26 is back and recharged, I'll have him chart us a flight. No. 116 and 161 are on board with helping, and of course, we'll have No. 7 tag along due to her beautiful handling of Quebec customers. Additionally, No. 611 has confirmed that the hot, well-cold drink in that region right now should be OJ. So, if there is some connection between Quebec and Ottawa, let's hope that the acidity of OJ doesn't carry over.

I really hope the Quebec customers stop popping up all over the place. It gets really exhausting bussing everyone around. Though with the state of things, it's probably better to keep ourselves away from public transportation anyway. Anyway, we all made it to the Hum just fine. Though things here are definitely… weird. This place has this sort of uneasy feeling, and I don't think it's from the Hum itself. There's a sort of… air pollution that nowhere else has. Sort of like things are bending in ways they shouldn't.
That's not really why we came here, though; we came for Mrs. Celaeno. Unfortunately, we don't have the advantage of our customer being hidden away in the middle of nowhere. More than just our family has had run-ins with Mrs. Celaeno, and she is certainly living up to her title. From what the tourists around here have said, she's been swooping down left and right to tear them a new one over nothing in particular. She's been most active out by the Pueblo attacking tourists going to and from there. I'm guessing she is trying to reserve a spot or something, but the Cafe and Diner is first-come, first-serve, as always.
No. 116 and I will go see if we can't catch her ire ourselves. Hopefully, I can convince her to move somewhere less populated, like Pueblo Peak or Capulin Peak. Taking her higher up might be a bad idea, but I'd rather have her out of the way of tourists. Hopefully, she'll be willing to talk, though I don't know what languages she speaks. Meanwhile, No. 7 and 161 are going to see if they can figure out what's going on with the weird air around her and see if it's related to Mrs. Celaeno.
