Like a Phoenix, I am reborn from the flames of my past. Death, they say, is often only a minor inconvenience at best. That, and it is damn hard to kill a number.

Well, this is rather strange. Although, I suppose I should have known things would be stranger than expected. It's not every day the universe is recreated on a whim.

Well. This is the long flight back. I guess technically, it's November now, but for record-keeping purposes, I might as well just file this as the 31st.

The owner has tasked me with looking into a rather... shall we say... "grotesque" order for our customer Mrs. Weekend. And I would say that I am eyeing alternatives for this eye-catching order.

Well, THAT was a smashing success, I'd say. Like, seriously, up your game Mr. Al Crow.

I'm glad you're here. There's been a lot happening lately, huh? Even if things seemed quiet on our end.

Well, that was harrowing, wasn't it? Mrs. Pleasant attempted to cause quite the scene in our little Cafe and Diner, but that's just like her. Thankfully, we were more than able to satisfy her late-night cravings.

Crap. Well, we did, in a way, find our customers. But of course, haberdashery is involved and not in a fun way, in a too tight and ill-fitting way.

Or, perhaps, everything is alright after all. Besides, we have greater things to worry about than Mrs. Pleasant. She is only a Mrs., after all.

Do you see this? Can you see this? Can you enter Hell?

Well, it's been almost a year now since our co-owner Lucy Fireald left us. I wish I could say we've been doing just fine without her, but you all know some days are more trying than others.

Thus, we tread the realms unending, chasing whispers, the truth ever-bending. Through the realms of ancient lore, we must seek what lies in and at The End.

First off, I should say this much, I knew God was missing. I've known this whole time. I've known since 1988 that God is nowhere within our universe.

I guess I should probably say something, huh? It's not that I didn't want to comment officially on the whole Miss. Ojai thing... I was just hoping it wasn't him. Not again. But all signs point towards yes, so that's where we're at right now.

Family up north has alerted us to a customer causing problems in and around the Border Lake area. So far, mainly on the Golden-side, no word yet on the Silver-side.

Happy new year, everyone! And a happy new CaD as well, I suppose. Things are... different. I don't know if it's for the better or worse yet.
