assumed the identity of Randell
Coventry and began traveling with Stephanie to archaeological digs to
gain actual experience at the position he had faked his way into.
Before he left Hallmark, however, he met with one final investor –
someone he'd wanted to seek out for some time – Orphee deLander.
What passed between them was to be revealed to the public late that
year and will be discussed in our next installment, in which Clive
steels himself to finally face Cary Bradcroft.

Now it's time to take a
sideways glance at a wild cluster of subjects interlaced to forge a
complete portrait: a sharp slice of the Hallmark “street scene”
over 30 years of mutations andpermutations, at its very nexus point
on Flicker Street itself. This is only one such scene but we explore
it here as a respite from the labors of the Aggregate.

Explored within is the
history of the infamous Lucifer Club, from 1952-1982. Through the lives of its owners
and patrons we can trace the bloody fingerprints left on the world by
the wounds and scars of an American city (albeit a unique one).

II. The Lucifer Club

In 1952, the man called
Javier, son of Biazel Karollus, was embracing his Exodesian side and
was assisting Arch-Priest Urias the Grand Necromancer as Urias made a
bid to become one of the birthing SkullCorp's inner circle. Javier
envisioned an exclusive club where the more decadent and, shall we
say, curious denizens of Flicker Street and beyond could congregate
and indulge themselves without a care.
