In what looks like the dead of evening, Ruby's group goes through the carnival with determined looks on their faces. Before long, they manage to find the large stand where an Adachi clone is stationed somewhat close by to the massive circus tent.

Blake: "There it is."

Yang: "Let's put on our disguises."

Not a moment later, the group walked over to the stand and greeted the owner.

Ruby: "Uhm, hello sir... we would like some masks for each of us to wear, please."

The Adachi lookalike scans every single one of them before giving them a thumbs-up and takes a bunch of masks out of the wall they're hanging on, much to their collective surprise.

Weiss: "Well... this was easy."

All of them grab whatever mask they can get and put them on. Some of them rather enjoy wearing these decorative masks.

Nora: "Oooh~ I'm like a scary clown monster."

Ren: "Or just a regular clown."

Jaune: "Looks fine on me if I do say so myself."

Pyrrha: "Hehe, I suppose so."

Penny: "Yay! I'm a clown now!"

Yang: "Heh, not something to be proud of, but hey, looks pretty alright on me."

Sun: "Hey fellas, does this look cool on me?"

Neptune: "No."

Scarlet: "These are just disguises for us."

Sage: "Hm, very decorative ones."

Port: "Hm, the designs are not too shabby."

Oobleck: "Indeed. A lot of details are put into these."

While the rest are not exactly keen on wearing such peculiar-looking masks.

Blake: "Not exactly thrilled to wear a mask like this." ("Given my past with wearing White Fang masks.")

Ciel: "Me neither."

Weiss: "As much as I don't like this, we just have to endure."

Winter: "I agree. We can complain all we want once we all return to our world."

Glynda: "For now, we must wear these to bypass those tanks."

Ruby: "Alright, people. Let's get in."

With their clown masks on, the group walk towards the entrance of the nearby circus tent.

Ruby: "Play it cool, guys."

As she said this, the several face-painted Blitztanks shift their gaze to them as they make their way to entrance. Surprisingly, these sentient tanks don't do anything to them, prompting the group to head inside. They are then greeted with the circus interior as a large crowd of clown-masked lookalikes sitting on the wide bleachers, roaring with excitement and anticipation.
