I think the owner of the club, but honestly, I wonder if that intel from the task board is accurate.
They might have accomplices, so we have to be ready for anything.
What would you say to meeting there in an hour?

[phoenixwiz]

Okay then, I will try to find my way to the club through teleporting and meet you there.

(He has no idea if whether his recent makeover could potentially attract some unwanted attention from whoever is running the club and that they might not be human at all.

[fooligans]

Harry, hey.

[ Akira spots Harry almost immediately when he arrives at the meeting spot, but the change in his appearance doesn't go unnoticed. ]

New look? You have to be careful out there, they might want to hire you.

[phoenixwiz]

Hey, Akira: Yeah, I did finally ditched the glasses once I got around having my eyes’ vision corrected.

Oh wait a minute, they might find me attractive enough to get me trapped inside? That is really weird.

[fooligans]

Now I'm the only four-eyes...

[ He laughs softly before removing his glasses and lets them hang on the edge of his shirt collar. ]

They might. But I guess looking good shouldn't hurt during this mission. We might get a chance to reach the knights faster that way.

[ It's risky, though. ]

[phoenixwiz]

Hm, that is a good point, so maybe being good looking does have its benefits after all?

(Oh boy, Harry hasn’t heard a single word from people that he looks like a blue-eyed James in months since he came to Avalon and it feels so oddly refreshing. And without the glasses, the chances of him getting those comments are getting slimmer over time.

Despite being uncertain of what to expect inside the club and what could be inside besides trapped knights in danger, he’s going to trust Akira to lead in the quest.)

Alright then, let’s get inside and find the knights.

[fooligans]

[ While sneaking through backdoors seems tempting if they're discovered it would be all over. That's why Akira suggests going in just like they were customers. That would allow them to ask specifically for the newly hired knights.

Needless to say, this raises some suspicion among the staff, but in the end, it works out in Harry and Akira's favor—the knights are supposed to accompany them for an hour. ]

Maybe we should ask for a more private room?

[ Preferably with an air vent, so they can escape through it. Although Akira doesn't mention that openly. ]

What do you think, Harry?

[phoenixwiz]

Yeah, I think that it would be a good idea: we’re new here, so we don’t want to get into trouble with the other club patrons.

(He could have sworn that he might have sweat dropped as he spoke those words out of his mouth. It is a miracle that his voice didn’t faltered as he speaks.

So far things have been going uneventful for the time being.)

[fooligans]

[ The knights are actually thrilled to show them to a private spot hidden behind velvet curtains—it's exactly a place Akira's been hoping for, to be honest. He goes to the air vent right away and pulls out a screwdriver before looking behind his shoulder. ]

Just try to act normally, I'll take care of this. What do you even do here?

[ One of the knights explains that they usually serve drinks and simply talk to the patrons. ]

There's one more thing we do, but the owner made us ask to pay extra for it.

[phoenixwiz]

That seems to amount to a lot of gold if you ask me, sir.

(He is hoping not to attract unwanted attention from the main staff and he is too afraid to ask what is this other thing the owner wants from them. He doesn’t want to risk blowing up this stealth quest to get the knights out of here.

Wondering what to do next, he decides to ask one of them a request to cover for Akira while he unscrews the air vent.)

Okay, I do have one request: you did said you serve the patrons drinks. Maybe perhaps you can get us some drinks and possibly some snacks.

(Well, he is partly hungry first of all, but he is also using the drinks and snacks as a ruse to make the owner not to think twice and do a double take in the two of them.)
