Case No. 19

Even if the Dark isn't right at our doorstep, the Midnight baristas—my friends—need me, each in their own way. Until all is well, the hour for me shall remain at Midnight.

Case No. 18

We are headed back to the Thorned Tangle now to pay Ms. Roussimoff's tab in full.

It has been a long time coming.

Case No. 17

Surely, there must be subtler ways to summon a large group of people to the Hollow than swallowing them up in a massive venus fly trap.

Case No. 16

We're on him now. The Giant. Forget the code names and mixed up pronouns, there's no time for that. We're a few hundred meters out from the Giant and the Seed of Sodom.

Case No. 15

The Thorned Tangle. Certainly lives up to its name. You know, "Thorned Tangle," is just a human translation. The real name of the region we are currently in is "Vuin" in the old tongue. Trap. And that is what it feels like.

Case No. 14

While I suspect Ms. Roussimoff has goals and motivations that are more complex than we perceive, I also feel, truly, deeply in my heart—the reign of Giants ended for a damn good reason.

Case No. 13

As mentioned in the prior Case File, we here at the Midnight Cafe and Diner are going to brew up a strong cup of Green Tea. And how does one make Green Tea? Well, we're going to start with some Ice Water.

Case No. 12

It would seem the Cafe and Diner Midnight needs to add Green Tea to their menu, if only temporarily.

Case No. 11

So, it would seem that I am here to stay. For how long? Hard to say, though I know that I will be working with Midnight until at least Ms. Roussimoff and her ilk have been served and the Cafe and Diner's presence in Palm Beach goes unthreatened.

Case No. 10

It is with some great pleasure that I begin this receipt.

Case No. 9

As the Cafe and Diner Network has been in operation for at least twenty years now, they have managed to acquire quite the stash of powerful, rare, and unique equipment of the Coffee Trade.

Case No. 8

And that is why I have put off working with Silenus thus far. They always seem to be neck deep in some sort of disgusting horror, be it body, mind, soul, or otherwise.

Case No. 7

You must imagine my surprise at running into Midnight, far out of their ordained jurisdiction, in the middle of New Orleans, chasing down their current bugaboo—the Mangrove Syndicate

Case No. 6

We had to talk about the big picture. The really big picture.

Case No. 5

This had better not be what it looks like.

Case No. 4

In truth, the Cafe and Diner Network exists to protect and safeguard the eight known Pieces of Fate: the 8-Ball, the Pocket Watch, the Cane, the Spoon, the Lens, the Bell, the Ledger, and the Locket.

Case No. 3

I would likely advise against using any clothing made from Mr. Geometer but… I suppose we all learn one way or another, right?

Case No. 2

Behram indirectly has his hands in a bit of everything it seems.

Case No. 1

Ms. Bradbury's absence has opened Requiem up to newer and perhaps more terrifying reservations yet to come.
