[ 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....

Faolan glances up at the familiar voice addressing him and finds his hackles lowering slightly. It's good to see someone he knows, here among the crowds. He didn't think he would, considering the nature of the event. He wasn't sure how much of a waste of time this whole trip would be, truth be told.

He raises his glass at her in greeting as she approaches. "It has," he replies, a bit more gruffly than he intended to, but he means well. "I take it that you saw the show as well?" Did Lancelot get her the tickets and send her along to investigate as well, he wonders? He hadn't known that they knew each other. For such a large city, the underground community seems a small world after all.

She smiles, not offended by the gruff tone. Though she does not know Faolan well, she has already seen enough to know what a busy man he can be. And she has known enough busy men - and women - to know how tiring that can be.

"I did," she confirms, "though I cannot say that I enjoyed it much."

[reticence]

Faolan shakes his head himself. "You and me both," he confirms, trying not to admit as much quite so loud lest they be overheard but at the same time relieved that she wasn't a true believer like the rest of them either.

He steps closer to her, so that they don't have to speak too loud to hear each other over the murmur of the crowd. But he has to ask, he has to know whether they are here for the same reason. "Forgive me, but. Do you know Lancelot du Lac?"

Liadan is a little surprised when he steps closer, or she is until she hears Faolan's question. She nods. "I do, indeed, though I have only met him once. I expect you can guess what the subject of that meeting was."

Faolan raises his eyebrows, surprised slightly by the idea that she would have been recruited after only knowing him for so brief a time, but he supposes that they had needed supernatural expertise for the case. He supposes he'll have to ask Lancelot about it later, if he really wants to know. He nods slightly in response to her last statement, though.

"It would seem that we are here on the same orders, you and I," Faolan replies. Though Liadan's are perhaps less official in nature. Lancelot isn't her superior, after all.

Liadan nodded. "And what is your opinion so far?" She was quite curious what a hunter's perspective on this would be and how exactly Faolan intended to determine if Ms Silverton was a fraud or not.
