"Oh thank you!" Artemisia paused in her storytelling to take a sip of her newly delivered tea. She blowed on the liquid's surface before taking a very loud slurp. "So where was I?" she asked once she'd placed the cup back on the table.

"The show was cancelled during the interval," Margerie prompted. "Due to the star singer being spirited away."

"Yes, that!" Artemisia said, pointing a claw at her assistant before turning back to Bartholomew and Marian. "Obviously, being the first at the scene before any sort of law enforcement or paparazzi, it was imperative we got access to the backstage area for anyone else. See, while I appreciate the speculative efforts of others, it is unfortunately not uncommon to find certain aspects compromised by less talented investigators long before I've had a chance to-" Just as she was hitting her stride, the squad of fairy soldiers made their way through the doors and began exercising their authority upon the inn staff and patrons. The words froze in Artemisia's throat, and she suddenly looked a little sheepish, hoping none of them have overheard what she was saying.

She wasn't the only one either. The moment Bartholomew started shouting, Margerie also adopted an uncomfortable expression (not to mention, her cheeks starting to flush slightly when her father mentioned the praise she had had for Artie in her letters). The younger Boggart made a not-inconspicuous effort to hide behind her cider as the conversation continued.

It wasn't long before Lieutenant D'Arcy made his way over their table, in which he began scrutinizing each member of Artie's company before his eyes landed on Artie herself. Flustered and more than a little worried that his attention on them was because of her, she quickly tried to speak. "Oh, err, I can assure you, ah, sir, that neither me nor my company are involved in whatever it is you and you, ah, fine officers are investigating." She leans on the table in attempt to appear casual. "Err, if you don't mind me asking, because I couldn't help overhearing, what exactly makes you so certain the perpetrator you are searching for is a boggart?"

OOC

Artie did not succeed her Will+Society roll and is now scared.

Regardless of the answer, Margerie would definitely have told Artie a few things about Bartholomew on the journey to the Entry Hall.

- He's quick to anger and grumpy by default.
- He's casually racist towards Faeries and Sprites.
- He developed a lot of bad habits in his younger days. And while he is trying to break them now, he is finding it very difficult to.
- He is almost always completely penniless from a mix of charity and carousing.

In response, I'll put that in any correspondence between Margerie and her family about her employer, Margerie would have:

- Gushed about how brilliant Artie is
- Complained about how frustrating Artie has been while having burnout (particularly that she keeps switching rapidly between being irritable to being melancholic)
- Warned her parents prior to this meeting that Artie is 'eccentric'... in fact she's probably used the word 'eccentric' many times when describing Artie (with the slight temptation to use other, stronger words)

Margerie would know about Bartholomew's past. As for if she'd tell Artie, that would depend on how close they are.

@rush99999

Well that is a complicated question. I'll have to think on this. I'll try and get my post out tomorrow.

@rush99999 Actually, here's a question that I should probably ask before proceeding with my post: would Margerie know about her father's past? And if so, how likely would she be to tell other people about it (namely her boss)?

Working on my post rn, but err...

Spoiler alert, mah girl did not get a Basic Success.

Artie: Try not to look suspicious, try not to look suspicious, try not to-
D'arcy: Hey you!
Artie: Oh shit

Jokes aside, Fellsing, Zizzles is going to angst about for a few moments longer to act like he won some confrontation of masculine projection before seeing if Tabiah wishes to continue on. I'll save us all the few sentences of that in the IC and just pitch you the 'unless something else happens, he tries to move on...' here.

@Fading Memory

Aight. Tabiah is planning on standing up at this point and being like "Listen I don't know what all of this is, but we really should be going".

"Hm. I'm getting a strange sensation, like the shoe is about to drop. But I've already said that I'd make an effort to address these pesky internal biases, and so here we go. Trusting Brut and Jub. I believe in them. They wouldn't...disappoint...me..." She trailed off as she spoke, before sighing. "Ahem, I'm... I'm trusting them. This shop sounds like a wonderful time. Something ordinary."

@Fading Memory

... ya'll are doing this on purpose now, aren't you?

Oh my god it was only yesterday. What. My sense of time is so horribly mangled.

@Fading Memory

Iz fiiiiine.

After all, time is a myth created by watchmakers to sell more watches.

Gonna wait a couple more days before posting a response.

This one clip has been in my head for days. Why did you do this to me, Fellsing.

@Fading Memory

That's impressive since it's only been a day since I posted it Fading
