I'm well aware I left you in a bit of an awkward position, and I did so intentionally. You're supposed to be feeling a little confused, and that is totally fine. I actually don't mind if you take some liberties yourself in terms of what you feel like would be a good plan of action, or a good way to handle the situation at hand.

edit: lol whoops, you already replied

edit 2: Oh man what a great reply. I'm going to have so much fun with this.

So, my reply might be a bit awkward to update. Feel free to take some liberties as to what kind of verbal exchange Duke might have with the trainer as he relays his plan and how carries it out, if you want. If you do, just keep in mind that he's in full stoic poker face mode right now. Otherwise, I'll be sure to retroactively "fill in the gaps" during my next reply.

Your update is up! Sorry for the delay. I edited it into the post.

Hey so I suppose I should remind you that you are currently on B2F, and B1F is upstairs.

I figured it would only make my cover stronger, and I don't mind "losing" the money anyways. Gotta say, I've been enjoying these a lot so far!

You don't need to bet. Betting was optional, you just had to buy a beer as a cover charge. I should have wrote that in. But, up to you!

Sweet! I'll retroactively update one of my earlier posts to reflect on the expenses. Since I already know the outcome of the match, I decided to have Duke bet on the losing side prior to proceeding with his infiltration, if that's ok with ya.

Also, crap. I totally forgot to give you a price for the beer. It was $10!

Sorry for the delay - update is up!

"You knew that Orchrist was one solid snake..." I see what you did thar.

By the way, how much was the beer? Yes, I really do intend to pay for that.
