Isaac enters the mansion with his customary welcoming smile on his face. He looks around at the assembled nobles wondering if the nobles he is looking for are here. He looks around at all the potential new friends and his smile intensifies.

as Issac enters the doorway he is stopped by a rather large man wearing a finely tailored black and white suit. The man is well groomed with a slight beard and stands in from of Issac.
"I don't believe I have seen you here before sir, do you perhaps have an invitation I could see?"
"I don't believe I have seen you here before sir, do you perhaps have an invitation I could see?"

Isaac smiles at the man warmly.
"Oh no sir you would not know me as I am a traveler from far off parts. I have heard that some of the nobles of this fair city are known to gather here so I have come to offer my help to those who have missing family members. If you could see your way to letting me in and perhaps directing me to the specific nobles I am looking for i would be ever so grateful and be honored to call you friend. "

The man studies Issac for a moment before speaking.
"You do seem like a trustworthy fellow, but I can not risk losing this job as I am sure you understand. Are you perhaps someone skilled in searching for people? I could ask some of the guests here to speak to you."

"Oh I would never want you to risk your livelihood for me sir! I am not especially skilled at searching for people but I have other skills that I hope to devote to finding our wayward nobles. I always try to help those in need when I can. I would very much appreciate if you could ask some of those guests to speak with me or perhaps ask someone who could get me an invitation to speak with me."

With the steady rhythm of his cane proceeding him Duccio made his way up the front steps of the mansion adjusting his plain white stole and for the first time in a while the simple golden crucifix on the chain around his neck. Duccio's Alp was a simple black affair and his over all visage was that of a picturesque version of a cleric which was doubled by the air of purity and sanctity that flowed out from him. Stopping at the entrance Duccio smiled slightly as he saw a familiar face talking to the door man while leaning a little heavier on his elegant silver tipped and ebony to fish out the invitation he had brought with him, "Deacon Esposito has arrived, and is that Isaac that I see visiting this wonderful manor."
Aug 2, 2020 3:20 am
"Duccio! Its great to see you my friend! This fellow was just doing a wonderful job making sure noone gets in who isn't invited! Unfortunately that includes me but he was going to assist me in finding someone who could assist me anyway. He seems a good chap and is a credit to his profession i must say. I'm glad to have met such a polite doorman as he since a less charitable doorman may have been far less gentle in forbidding me entry. I am even more glad to see you in attendance! What brings you to this lovely manor this evening?"

Kristophe walks up to the front door as well. He's dressed in simple clothes, tight cloth of a few varied colors. Behind him is two others dressed similarly, a man and woman. He nods in polite greeting to Duccio and Isaac but makes no move to speak to them, instead walking straight to the doorman.
"Greetings kind sir. I believe I and my fellows here are expected. I do hope we aren't too late for the performance. I'm told the those gathered were quite enamored with my colleagues earlier in the day and we hope to maintain our good name." He gives the man a large smile, slowing his walk only enough to speak to the guard while seemingly planning to just push right past with little real regard to the answer.
"I do hope you get a chance to watch some, I love an audience. Perhaps these other two will be as well." He gestures vaguely behind him to the other two kindred as he continues to not let the guard get a word in and walks past him.

The Doorman allows Kristophe to pass without resistance. He turns to Duccio and speaks in a very formal tone.
"Deacon Duccio, do you know this Issac? He seems to be a very trusting and friendly man and as much as I would like to allow him entrance without someone to vouch for him or an invitation my hands are tied."

Duccio gives a reproachful look to Issac at his non-formal address as he moved slightly to the side to make room for Kirstophe and his posse to come through and nodding his head slightly to the lead man.
Turning back to the doorman and Issac Duccio sighs slightly, "It is good to see you as well Issac I came to finally get around to introducing myself to the nobility as it has taken me too to do so due to all of the activity in getting myself settled in this fine city. This fine doorman does seem like a very pleasant and professional individual. Speaking to him, yes I am acquainted with domine Issac here I am unsure if I can truly vouch for him due to not knowing of his ability of etiquette and how much responsibilities and would fall to me on his behalf if I were to do so."

Isaac looks somewhat hurt.
"I apologize for putting you in such an awkward position Deacon Esposito. I assure you that were you to vouch for me I would bring no shame to your name. "

Duccio looks down to his feet with a sad smile on his face before rapping his cane on the ground twice and sighing, "I am sorry to doubt you my son that was a very non-christian of me. Please follow me I will vouch for you." Duccio patted Issac on the shoulder on his way inside of the building at his slow and steady pace.
Aug 6, 2020 1:19 am
Isaac walks a step behind Duccio on his non-cane side and shows his gait to match.
"Thank you for your aid. I was becoming concerned I may have to think of some more....creative way to get in. I prefer not to use such methods when avoidable. While direct and easy they are often clumsy. If its alright with you I shall stay close with you for a bit in here to take a measure of the tone of the room so to speak. I plan to speak with the families of those who are missing but I do not need to rush directly to them."

[ +- ] In a hushed tone to Issac
"Do not worry about it I only wished to impress the need for tact with these kind of people as ones in our circles have a tendency to forget that. And it is best not to use more creative methods we are to maintain our secrecy here first and foremost."

Kristophe walks around the main room, taking in the gathered nobles and other individuals, as he begins speaking to those in attendance. "Greetings my friends, we are here to provide only the best in entertainment. I do hope you continue to enjoy our performances and continue to have us back."
With that Kristophe and the other two individuals he entered with begin performing a series of acrobatic tricks. Flips, cartwheels, handstands, jumps, and a variety of others. However, this performance does not turn out well. Starting with Kristophe dropping one of the other two during a handstand, directly onto the the third person to him mis-judging the distance for a jump and rolling directly into a server bringing out plates of food.
The finale however makes up for some, impressive in its own right. Kristophe sits balanced on the shoulders of one person while the other tosses a series of apples into the air and Kristophe shoots them with blunted arrows before the thrower catches them again by the arrow shaft. Having finished the performance the three take a bow and quickly move to the side, hoping that the ending made up some for the overall event.

A few of the nobles chuckle and then seem to lose interest in the performance but after the ending a few nod and clap in approval. Moment later conversations resume among the nobles, it seems many of the more well dressed are gathering around one table all paying attention to a rather short but handsome man laughing as he tells a story. Off to the side seem to be a number of well off artisans having a heated discussion.

Quietly trying not to draw attention to himself Isaac steps closer to hear the short handsome man's story.

Duccio politely claps at the end of the performance before silently along side Issac to makes their way over to the gather of finer dress nobles. With a pleasant smile Duccio draws close enough to be part of the group but doing his best not to disrupt the story being told so he can wait until prompted to make introductions.

The short man stops laughing for a moment, to take a quick drink from his glass of wine before he continues as he speaks he seems to look up to a rather tall and handsome man sitting next to him and he speaks " That is when richard up to his waist in mud and missing once boot chased the poor horse down the path while I lay on the ground still stuck in the barrel."
The crowd surrounding the man seems to laugh some truthfully as they enjoyed the story, others under the influence of wine. The man regains some of his composure but his face is still wide with laughter. The short mad seems to be in the early stages of balding as he has a rather humorous comb over on his head. The face tells a different story his cheeks flushed with wine, while wearing a rather impressive mustache. When he sees the new arrivals he gestures for them to come forward.
"Deacon!" he exclaims "Duccio you must come sit with us, have a drink. Wait can someone in your station drink? I don’t know but worry now none here will tell on you."
