Kchhhk... Kchkk. Calling all Investigators. Come in Investigators... This place is full of ninjas.

Well. This is certainly different. This is Alcuin, and I appear to be in a place called Suzuki Village in the near center of the peninsula. Will all those who can hear this please speak up with their name and location? I have a map with me and may be able to assist in guiding you if you need assistance.

Those of us who have arrived here appear to be traders or pirates of sorts. Which does not seem to alarm the inhabitants of the town in the slightest. This appears to be a regular occurrence.

Has anyone learned anything concerning a summit of sorts happening in Suzuki? What it might be about and how one might gain entrance?

Glad to hear from you, Jean.

[No, he really is. You may be part of the Eren Crew of Terror, but you're actually a reasonablish member. Dungeon crawler and everything.]

Did you retain a blade? Do you think you might be able to impersonate one of their members?

[rustyhonesty]

[Please don't tell Jean you prefer him over Eren, he'd grow more ego.]

I always keep one of my gear's blades with me - it doesn't look like a normal sword, but it should pass. And if I get the right sort of clothing, I might...

[Unless he looks too much of a horse to them too.]

[willyousee]

[Oh lord. Jean with more ego. Dully noted!]

I may be able to get you some coin to work with, should you need any, as well as a change in hair color. Have you any experience slipping into a group unnoticed?

[rustyhonesty]

I have some coins with me as well, for some reason. Though I have to admit that I've only disguised as Eren twice, but never really slipped into a group...

[Unless you count as voluntarily getting kidnapped as something like that.]

[willyousee]

You disguised yourself as Eren? ...That seems an odd choice, given your dissimilar builds and facial structures. But as Eren himself appears to be infiltrating further south, might I suggest a slightly different tactic? An entirely different personage. I... may be able to assist somewhat in providing a distraction to get you inside, but if we were to go that route, once inside you would be entirely on your own.

[rustyhonesty]

It's a long story... and it's not like I'd disguise myself as him here. [Though he almost asks how he knows where Eren is and if he's heard of Mikasa, but he stops himself from doing that.]

That's one option... I think I'd be able to handle things by myself if I had to.

[willyousee]

I know you could. [There's no waver in the mental voice, toneless though it is. He is convinced that you would do well, even in this strange land with little experience.]

There is an inn and tavern - The Heavenly Egg - where I have purchased a room for the night on the second floor. The third door on the right. Meet me there when you are ready and I will do what I may for you.

[rustyhonesty]

I think I passed by that a few times... Alright. I'll be there as soon as I can.
