Summary of Receipt
Doppio mentions how they went searching for Mrs. Weyer, and found nothing. She also mentions that there are alternate methods to finding Mrs. Weyer in the nightclubs, and decides to make a charm to track Naberius down, though she mentions that whoever used the charm would need to use an equal amount of power to Naberius, of which only Lucifer (Galao) and Belphegor (Red Eye) would qualify.

BARISTA ON DUTY: DOPPIO
RECEIPT FILED AS: C-NCN-03
My, that was a rather fun night, wasn’t it! I haven’t had much time to party lately, so it was nice to cut loose a little. Poor Black Coffee, nightclubs are truly not her thing. It was a little painful to see her stuck to the wall like that… At least Galao was able to get into the spirit of things! All that fun aside, we were there for business, of course.
No sign of Mrs. Weyer. In fact, I’d hardly say there were any demons around. I’m guessing all the demons have moved on to the Gray Lining or Marquis Masquerade. They certainly wouldn’t have any reason to revel with tourists. I acquired a good few dozen or so phone numbers, which we can use to potentially track down these private events. I’m almost positive a few of those phone numbers are from club officials. Perhaps I can charm my way into getting invited to one of the private events.
Should that fail, I did hear from some of the staff that the manager does stop by at least once a night—usually, before the event begins, to check on things. I’m guessing this manager is Mrs. Weyer, or at the very least some associate of Mistress. I could try and make a charm of finding which wouldn’t be too tricky considering Mrs. Weyer is a well-known customer. The only issue would be a sort of law of equivalency. To find, you have to seek with an equal force of power. If Mrs. Weyer is truly hiding with a glamor and possibly other concealing magics, well, that would make it difficult for most of us to find her. Perhaps Galao, but even then, Galao is also glamored. I suppose I could just make the charm in case, and if it’s useful, it’s useful.
