[ SEMI-OPEN ] MEDIUM, LIVE!

[knightscode]

Date: 17th to 31st of October, inclusive!
Plot: Medium, Live!
Areas: Manchester for the pre-London show, then Greenwich




Worldwide phenomenon Sarah Silverton is coming to London. The British Born psychic, medium and all round lady of the supernatural is doing a special tour ending with a Halloween show in the enormous setting of the O2 arena.

She's booked out the placed, too, tickets are sold out. They weren't exactly cheap, either.

Silverton has plenty of critics, but nobody can deny that she does put on a good show. Some put it down to publicity stunts, but every time she takes over a stage there always seem to be mysterious problems. Lights flickering, sound problems, all sorts of spooky goings on while stage hands swear blind they didn't touch anything. There have even been some who quit because they couldn't take it any more, claiming members of Sarah's team must have been deliberating interfering to draw crowds.

It's no surprise, then, that the Night Council has taken any interest. With the reports of strange goings on escalating (including a falling piece of set in one show that caused injury to one unsuspecting audience member) they've launched a full investigation. While most believe Silverton to be a fraud simply putting together elaborate stunts to sell tickets, any chance that she's a real member of the community flagrantly breaking the Statute of Secrecy must be addressed. Lancelot is charged with putting together a team and investigating carefully. Sarah Silverton is a celebrity, and they can't risk drawing attention to themselves in the process or causing any kind of public scandal. They have just over two weeks until her live show in London, and a lot of work to get done....

He nods and flops into the chair behind the desk, wheels back and yanks open a cupboard with various things. He digs out a bottle of still and a bottle of sparkling water, not really sure which she'd prefer, then a clean glass which he sets on the desk for her.

"There we go," he says softly, and digs for another one for himself -- sets it down on the desk and shuffles forward again to loosen the caps on both bottles. "Right, how can I help you then?"

Liadan decides to go with the sparkling water, pouring it into the glass. She takes a sip before responding. "Actually, I thought I might able to help you. I heard that you were investigating a medium?"

His eyebrows jump at that, and Lancelot visibly re-arranges the situation and how to approach it.

"Sarah Silverton? Yes, actually. The Night Council has suspicions she might not be the fraud we all assumed she was, which makes her a big secrecy breach if it's true."

[defy_the_stars]

Liadan nods. "I have some ability to see into the past, present, or even future, though I admit these powers can be unpredictable, to say the least. But I might be able to help determine if what she says is true or not."

[knightscode]

That... is actually extremely useful. He looks thoughtful for a second, turning it over, then frowns.

"I don't suppose you'd have time to go to Manchester for a weekend? Expenses paid, of course. She has a smaller show she's holding there first. I was hoping to send a few people up to scout it out, see if they can sense anything from her or from the show in general. It sounds like you might be exactly what I need."

Liadan nods. "I should be able to do that, assuming I can find someone to watch my son." Sean owed her a visit sometime and he was easy to get in touch with, given their psychic link. "What is the date of the show?"
