Ch216, Sebastian gathering intel and gossip
I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, so my apologies if I've simply missed those posts, but our earl says "based on the information you collected":
Over the past few days, Sebastian has been going around, either eavesdropping or interacting directly with people -- possibly both inside and outside the hotel -- to gain an idea of how many visitors should be there now.
That's got to be Sebastian in the middle image:
That looks like either servants brought along with paying guests in the hotel... or possibly just some blokes at a local pub outside the hotel, but Sebastian is there. Dressed as a commoner or working class man.
So, what's going on in these two other images? Is Sebastian wearing a mask like "Vicar Rathbone" (and a light colored wig) to visit an opium den? (Or is he taking the appearance of the dark haired attendant?!?)
And is he taking the appearance of a dark haired maid to hear gossip from a maid at a nearby townhouse?
Because if he's just eavesdropping in the scenes on either side, where is he? Typically, we would see him hiding behind something or hanging upside down behind a window or grasping the walls in a ceiling corner. But we aren't seeing that at all here. Is he capable of shapeshifting into women (while under this contract) or is he just using masks and prosthetic boobs and shoving his feet into smaller shoes?
Because he seems to be interacting directly in all three scenes....
🤔
