C28 Solomon’s circus

I read the letter, in it is detailed the plan he's following. My jobs is simple, we have to make them meet, therefore if I take Celeste out while he drags Ave Iron from her place it'll be easy, he doesn't seem to realize that Celeste can see the things he does. When he contacts me to ask if I have any problems with the plan I ask him if he can pull her from her home at night, since Celeste rules the light he agrees with the change. Apparently Ave Iron trusts him a lot, and is willing to let him lead her around. "Hey, since we aren't leaving yet, do you mind if we return to the city we went to last night? I want to see that circus before we leave." That's the easiest place to get them to meet, since it wouldn't seem to out of the way for us both to be there. She looks at me for a few moments and I can tell she's confused by my incessant want to see this circus "I've never been to one, I would like to see this circus while it's here, because I don't know the next time we'll have the chance." She nods and holds put her hand, when I put mine in it she pulls me towards her and we appear on the stairs that we were on last time, she grabs my arm again and I swear that the reactions when we step down are the exact same, from the older man in the corner who's eyes widen when he sees her to his subsequent reaction when he notices I'm paying attention to him. I didn't put much importance on him before but when I agreed to the mission Robert gave me the run down in the organization of the underworld in the city, that man is a well known human trafficker. We exit and walk around until dark, she learned from Robert that that's when the circus opens, though it doesn't start until later on tonight.

"Salutations!" He drags out the word, taking almost his whole breath to get it out. "To Solomon's circus. I hope you're ready to laugh, because I assure you, you're going to bust a gut like I have!" He's a big guy, it looks like he hasn't missed any meals either. He slaps his stomach, and watching wiggle a few of the younger kids in the audience laugh. "I won't bother you with details, nor with the fails, of my circus, we'll get right into the best of the best! I hope you have a wonderful night, and a glorious laugh!" He's dresses all in red, with a white tie that has a magic circle on it, that's probably why we can hear him even though he's on a platform in the middle of the tent. The platform lowers and suddenly it rises again, a donkey sits on it this time though. As soon as the first person walks out from behind the curtain it starts to bray loudly. It sounds almost exactly like laughter, soon the younger audience is cracking up, especially as one of the roadies fall the donkey starts laughing harder, pointing to him from its spot. "That donkey seems to be the main attraction." Celestes smiling but she's managed to keep from laughing. "I disagree, the donkey isn't going to be there long, the noise will wear off soon." The platform starts lowering as I say that, but this time it just comes to rest on the base they made, the donkey gets up and walks off, while multiple animals, smaller beings mostly, but I think I see a wolf among them, come up and start goofing off. The roadies work around them as if they've done this often enough, at least they do until the animals starts piling on top of one of them, soon they're all in a pile, the roadies are trying to dig the original offender out and the animals are having fun piling on. A net drops on top of them all and picks them up slowly, the smaller animals hop out and run off the base as an elephant rises up, this one is a tamed beast, and it picks up the net before shaking them out. The roadies are the only ones still in the net and the elephant tosses them over its shoulder before walking off the base. After that the show gets even more out of this world and soon everyone is laughing loudly. I hear someone sit beside me and look over to see an older woman, she smiles at me and turns back to the show, then Robert sits at her side, I lean over and shake his hand and ask about the files I asked for, he says that he brought them but had to leave his suitcase outside, if I wanted to follow him we could go get them. Neither of the ladies bothers us, and soon we exit the tent. "Do you think they realized this was planned?" I shake my head after a moment, Celeste might, but I don't know about Ave Iron, I haven't even met her. "Thank you for the help in any case, maybe with this they will iron out their differences." He snorts at his pub and I look at him a moment, "if you've got more jokes I suggest you let them out now, we're in the right place after all." He laughs and picks up his suitcase, handing it over to me, I did ask for some files after all "are they all here?" He nods as I open it and I start reading through them "all the strongest players that we know of are in those files, anyone that has a skills that can counteract the sunlight scripture, anyone that uses darkness as well as Ataraxes, everyone I can think of that you might need to know. I've also put the famous underworld figures in there in case you ever meet them." I nod and thank him while closing the case. There aren't ordered well, he put them in order of which class they're in, but I'll work it out easily. "Thank you, since I'm being inducted into the strongest group I need to know more about the people."
