Barreknar, the dagger is caught and juggled with ease. At one point she drops it out of the juggling to balance it on its point on her nose before flicking it up to join the rest.

Moneo, unfortunately despite your best efforts, the kenku seems to brush off the magic. She notices you casting it though, so goes to sneak off in a different direction but so focused on you that she walks into Revelry. She looks ready to try and bolt it, but seeing thay she is outnumbered she stops and puts her hands up. "What do you want with me. You don't look like you work at the carnival" 

"Why were you heckling that poor mermaid?" Moneo begins, keeping the fact that they've heard of this bird person to themselves for now.

 Dravos follows Barreknar through the gathered people, "I am not sure. Although, it might be wise to prepare for that possible outcome."

"Why does that concern you? Unless you have the power to make Mister Light and Mister Witch talk, I don't see this conversation going anywhere useful for me."

"I know someone who would care about that poor girl. I also know what it's like to be on stage. And whatever your problem is with the Misters, I don't see how making a mermaid cry will help," Moneo says shortly. "So again, why are you heckling this poor mermaid?"

"They know more than they are letting on. And they are refusing to talk. If I disrupt their carnival enough, they will have no choice but to talk to me."

"More about what?" Moneo asks, then hoping to get a bit more information adds, "And can't you do that without being an ass to the mermaid? She didn't do anything to you did she? Ah... and though you are the first Kenku I've met, you seem rather... easy to talk to..." ((insight 20))

“Isn’t the mime also have problem with this kenku?” He asks Moneo, trying to remember what it is.

Quote from AFlix >>

“Isn’t the mime also have problem with this kenku?” He asks Moneo, trying to remember what it is.

 Moneo glares sideways at his clearly socially inept companion, and says, pretending that he forgot, "Ah right! Maybe it is. That would explain how you have a voice! So Aflix ((please remember to put your character name in posts)), what do you think of this Kenku? Does he look like the type to steal a voice?"

The bird doesn't seem to be lying at all. Clearly not saying everything, but not hiding that fact. She just doesn't see you as needing to know, and is quite open about that.

"You certainly ask a lot of questions. If I'm to give answers, tell me this. What's in it for you?" 

“I just don’t like seeing people lose their voice. I cannot imagine how it would feel to lose mine, it’s the only thing I have,” Moneo replies. “Why are you trying to hard to meet the Misters anyway? They seem to be putting on a pretty good show. There is even the big top performance happening in…” looking up to the nearest clock to check the time.

(25 minutes left. Probably got about 15 minutes of talking to make sure you get there on time) 

"It's a long story. You wouldn't understanda. Something has happened to my patron and I believe they know something about it. But they just won't talk" 

Moneo pauses and thinks for a minute, then says, "Your patron you say? What's the name of your patron by chance? I happen to know someone with a similar problem. Though... this still doesn't explain why you stole the poor mermaid's boyfriend's voice..."

She suddenly seems more interested. "Her name is Zyblina. And I stole his voice as leverage against the owners. Nothing against him personally, I'm sure he is a lovely fellow, but the timing of it made the biggest impact."

“Well…” Moneo says, “that is interesting. It seems we’re actually here to find the same patron. Not mine of course. But a friend of ours has tasked us to find her as well. And why do you think the Misters are connected? Will you return the voice if we can get some information? I’m also on my way to the Big Top to see the show. Even if we can’t meet them, perhaps it’ll be a time to see the Misters. “

(persuasion 19 rolled in game log)

"I overheard them talking about some pact. But they won't say anything when I questioned them. Due to the pact I made with Zyblina I can't go to Prismeer myself. If you are willing to investigate myself I will give you back the voice. And I am happy to help you find a way to Prismeer anyway you think I can help"

"We're already looking into it... so I can tell you that we'll continue. But you need to give the voice back regardless. Your help getting there would be helpful. So far we've just been looking around the carnival. And now I should head to the Big Top. My friends are waiting and maybe I'll get a sight of the Misters. Where can we find you later?" Moneo asks, and once he gets the info heads to the big top to keep things moving.

She passes you over a small effigy. "Just get him to untie the string and his voice will return. If you need me, you can find me at the teacups. I will be in disguise so I'm not thrown out. But say my name, Kettlesteam, and I will come to you."

You all meet up and take your seats just in time. The lights dim and a hush falls over the crowd. A second later, a spotlight illuminates a lithe, elven figure sitting in a silver hoop, suspended above the center ring by silk ropes. The elf wears a dazzling suit of diamond-pane mirrors and a pair of butterfly wings. His scepter is topped with a spinning vane.

“Welcome, one and all, to this evening’s extravaganza! I am Mister Light. Prepare to be delighted!”

The extravaganza involves several of the carnival’s star performers and attractions, with Mister Light serving as ringmaster. Over the course of an hour, Burly the bugbear performs feats of strength, Palasha the mermaid serenades the audience from a clamshell bathing pool, Candlefoot the mime plays silent games with audience members, and faerie dragons with bright streamers tied to their tails perform dazzling acts of synchronized flying as a troupe of acrobats, clowns, and fire-breathers parade about.

As the end of the show approaches, Mister Light surveys the audience. "Does anyone here feel like entertaining everyone with their own act tonight?" there are a few volunteers. There is one very good singer, followed by a very out of tune pianist. A comedic act who had a mixture of funny and boring jokes. If any of you volunteer, make a performance check as well as a description of your act. 

Eyes in awe during the show, Moneo raises his hand when volunteers are asked for. Stepping up to front he pulls out a small pan flute and plays just a quick 5 second string to get the audience's attention and then tells a story of a famous Hag who had come to live in the city of Baldur's Gate, eating children to make them 'daughters' of her own, until a group of people banded together to bring them down with the help of some adventurers. All the while using prestidigitation to flourish and add effects to his story. He then sits down, and lets his heart slow itself. No matter how many times he gets in front of a group, it still makes him nervous.
