You had been hired by the Kurokumo Clan, specifically Sayo, to retrive the Nuovo Fabric from The Carnival. Sayo was too busy with "other things". You didn't question what "other things" were because you were getting paid for this anyways.

Once arrived at the meeting spot, you saw three grotesque figures; Alpha, Beta and Gamma.

Alpha: "Greetings?"

Beta: "Greetings."

Gamma: "Middleman? Greetings."

Alpha: "Here from Kurokumo Clan? Here for silk. Nuovo Fabric? Prepared fabric."

They talked so weird... and their masks... it would give most people shivers, fear or disgust. Not like the Carnival would care for any of that though.
