[ SEMI-OPEN ] MEDIUM, LIVE!
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....
[ ooc; Post for the medium, live! plot. Still time to sign up if you want! Spooky content likely, in the spirit of Halloween. ]

"Um, tired?"
Yes, she is tired. Tonight has been draining. This entire day has been draining: the long (oh so long) train ride up with Agnes, followed by keeping a vigilant watch over the old women during the show, and then feeling forced to use her power to calm the crowd. All of that, plus enduring this drawn-out VIP party, has taken a toll on her.
"Yes... Er, no. Well...I did find the show to be a very powerful experience." That's a flattering interpretation of the truth. "But it's also simply been a long day. I do appreciate your concern, though."
She smiles politely, while refraining from making eye contact. Only minutes ago, while talking to another skeptic, it was easy to laugh off their host's supposed psychic gifts as pure nonsense. Now, being face-to-face with the celebrity medium, Gwen finds that she wants to avoid her gaze, afraid perhaps to see a glimmer of actual power, which would force her to give serious consideration to the content of the show.
So, instead of looking at Sarah, Guinevere focuses on her cat.
"And it looks like I might not be the only one who's feeling a little tired."
She nods in the direction of Lunar.

"Oh, it's definitely past his nap time. He likes a little attention, though. So many people to fuss over him. Where is your friend, though? Agnes?"
Sarah looks around as if she might see her, since a pair of tickets had been booked together by Ms Crutcher. That meant Guinevere should be with her, surely, but here she is standing all alone.
