The next day everyone was pretty much passed out for the early hours of the day and only started to wake up around midday, some who had drank alot less than others managed to at least make it to their bedrolls the night before, whilst others were just passed out wherever their feet had managed to carry them to. By around 2 in the afternoon, almost everyone in the camp was up and moving around again...well, the best that they could anyway.

Hosea was quietly sitting by some makeshift table and chair made out of a few old wooden crates when Arthur came over to him only to be shortly interrupted by Dutch. Whilst meeting with Signor Bronte in his mansion the day before, Bronte had told them that they were to be invited to a ball/evening party at the Mayor's house. Dutch of course had agreed and hurredly rushed over to Hosea and Arthur. "So we doing this then?" Arthur asked looking over at Dutch. Hosea then slyly chimed in "It seems old Dutch is finally showing his true colours...socialising." Dutch just dusmissed the comment and kept walking past them "Signor Bronte has invited us to the ball, Cinderella..so let us go get you a gown." Dutch said with a slight bow.

Soon, Dutch, Hosea, Bill and Arthur were all dressed up in fancy suits and at the mayor's party. Whilst nothing too interesting was happening at the party itself, the men did learn some useful information from Bronte, although they still weren't fully sure if they could trust him or if they were just being played by the mob boss. The four of them managed to learn about three different possible opportunities for them to make some wealth.

The first one was a tip from Bronte himself about the train station in town in Saint Denis, which according to him was full everyweek with money in little safes. The second opportunity was a high stakes poker game taking place on a docked cruise ship of sorts in the harbour a few days from the night of the party. And the last opportunity was found out by Hosea and was about the bank of Saint Denis, however he said he would need more time to carefully plan such a risky robbery. The men then left the party and all headed back towards camp, once they arrived, they all pretty much instantly went to bed for the night.

The next day Arthur woke up to Dutch standing just outside his room on the balcony. Dutch explained that Hosea was working on scouting the bank, Trelawny was imvestigating the high stakes poker game and that Arthur should meet with him in town whilst Dutch went to see what he could find out about that train station Bronte told them about.

A little while later Arthur left to go and meet Trewlawny and Javier and Strauss about this poker game. Whilst he was gone however, it appeared that Kieran ever since the night of Jack's party had been missing and Mary-Beth who had grown quite fond of Kieran was quite worried as she was asking around to see if anyone knew where he was. Most said they had not seen him and alot of them would not have even been surprised if he had up and run back to the O'Driscolls by now.

Arthurs poker game took about the whole day and he only ended up returning to camp later that night along with the others. The next day, Sadie was sat just outside the main door in Shady Belle busy cleaning her gun whilst she sat in the chair. She had been spending a bit more time with Simon now and had got a bit closer to him as well as the rest of the gang, well of those she could tolerate anyway. Arthur came over and had a seat next to her "Mrs Adler" Arthur said greeting her as he sat down.

She glanced over at him quickly before going back to cleaning her gun "Well if it isn't Mr Morgan, I hear you and Dutch and joined High society now...my lord above." She said with a slight smile of amusement. "I think my days in polite society are over..." she said as she examined her hunting knife now.Arthur nodded "Well I just saw Bill Williamson, all dressed up and at a party at the Mayor's house so if he can do it, anyone can do it." He said playfully and teasingly. As he was bantering with Sadie, Dutch came over. "Arthur, a word please?"
