The patrons all drew a name then left to go to other rooms. "Fuck me." Maya said, her paper reading, Shock Betrov. Harley's paper reading, Asura Blackwillow. Ace's paper read the name April Habita. "Let's split up." Ace spoke. They all went to different rooms. Ace walked to a library that had bookcases stacked to the roof, filled with exotic printings. He walked to the next room which turned out to be the room for the dining table. Rows of strange, outlandish foods. The main dish was at the center of the table. A roasted and seasoned Lemon-bellied Tartiack. Its horns were removed along with the fur but everything else remained. The beast was well known for its lemon flavored flesh and thus was famous among royals, despite it being almost extinct. Ace scouted the rooms for anyone that stood out.
He spotted a somewhat short woman sitting alone by herself on a cushioned bench, gazing out a window. Ace walked closer and saw she had a bowl of olives in her right hand and ate them, one at a time, with her left. She had hair a color similar to dark chocolate. She was wearing a mask of a Queensland Heeler. She stared out the window that overlooked the span of wilds, lit up by the celestial moonlight. Ace walked up and stood behind the bench by a good three feet and to the right of her. "Do you need to sit here?" The girl asked, eating an olive. "No. Just enjoying the view. Same as you." Ace said as he continued standing. "Well do you need something?" The girl asked, eating another olive. Ace decided to change the subject and ask. "You must really like olives huh?" "Not really but some guy, really young you could just tell. He came up and gave them to me before walking away and laughing to himself that he "olived her"." The girl said. Ace sighed because he had an idea of who that was.
Ace decided to test his new voice and sat down then asked. "Care to tell me your name?" "Why would I tell you that?" The girl asked. "I'll make you a deal. Show me your name you drew from the box and, if I know who it is, I'll tell you who it is. Only if you tell me yours though." Ace said. "I don't trust you." The girl said. Ace put more honey to his voice and closed his right eye and then said. "Come on you can trust me. There's at least a hundred plus people here. What are the chances that you're my name?" He said as he slowly opened his right eye, it now a shade of purple rather than the normal blue. "I uhh…" The girl started to say but droned off. She stared deeply into his eyes and a strip of drool came out from under the mask. "A… april." The girl said in a monotone voice, handing over her paper.
Ace unfolded the paper and saw the name that was written read, Harley Prisco. "Sorry I don't know who that is. Luck isn't on your side; you were my name." Ace said as he shut his eye and walked away. The girl still stared into the same spot for a few seconds until Ace was far gone and then returned to consciousness. Ace walked to the box and put the paper back and walking away. As he was looking for both Harley and Maya, a man with a with shoulder length red hair and gentle green eyes that shown through his mask. His mask was in the shape of a dragon, symbolizing he was of incredibly high stature. He didn't have any body markings, tattoos and scars, which told Ace that he probably hadn't been in a fight in his life. The man walked past Ace but put his hand on his shoulder. "Stay safe." The man said before quickly walking away and disappearing in a crowd. Ace felt strange after that. He felt stronger and quicker.
Ace found Harley sitting at the table eating a plate of Tartiack. He sat down next to her and asked. "Any idea where Maya is?" Harley replied through a full mouth "As far away from her name as she can be." "I can see why." Ace said as he looked over at Shock, who stood out like black to white because he was so much younger than everyone else. He looked further to the right and saw the princess enter the room. Everyone one else bowed as she walked by and, to keep up appearances, he did the same. What stood out though was that she came in three times again. Each one was an exact copy, height, voice, mask, and clothes. The only difference was the color. Black, red, blue, and white. They went to each and every patron and asked if they were having a pleasant evening. They now walked towards Ace and Harley. Ace stood up and gave a formal bow, resembling the formal bow of Aukhovaria, a faraway kingdom surrounded by scorching sands, in order to throw everyone off. "How is your evening doing?" The princesses asked all at once. "Fine madam. How's yours?" Ace asked. "My my such a gentleman." One said. "Attractive even with the mask." Another said. "First time someone has asked us ours." A third said. "Absolutely extravagant." The last said. "You're absolutely extravagant even with your mask. Can you believe that I'm more of a gentleman in bed? I would bet that that's the first you've been asked that." Ace said. "Oh smart thinking." Red said. "I'll hold you to that" black said. "Such a charmer." Blue said. "Care to tell us your name?" White said.
"You know I can't do that my sweet." Ace said taking the one in black's hand and kissing it. Black chuckled to herself. "Aww such a stickler for the rules." Red said. "Why is she getting all the attention?" Blue asked. "There's more fun to be had ladies. Let us be off." White said before all four of them left. "Was that really necessary?" Harley asked. "I'm doing it to throw off my trail. I wouldn't do that shit under different conditions." Ace said.
