WHO: Fitcher, Marcoulf, Bartimaeus (+) & YOU WHAT: Ye Olde Catch'all WHEN: Nowish WHERE: Kirkwall, The Gallows, le Misc. NOTES: Starters in comments; if you want something/someone who isn't here, just hit me up and I'll scrape something together.
What's a sure-fire way to tip your hand in a situation like this? That's right, acting like you've seen something before. Luckily, because Athessa is not expecting a full bodied apparition to come trotting out in mid-air, her reaction is appropriately shocked, awed, and so on. For a split second, she buys her own con, forgetting that this ghost horse must be Bartimaeus, and she's just one among the group with an expression of wide-eyed wonder on her face.
But then she clues in, and puts her astonishment to good use.
"This is truly a special night, everyone. I can assure you that that," she gestures to where the horse was. "Does not happen often." Hazarding a glance at the Little Shit that's intent on ruining the tour, she's pleased to find angry confusion on the brat's face. Coconuts indeed.
The next stops go by smoothly; the bridge over the canal, rumored to be the site of a tragic abduction of some half-dozen children (featuring the soft sounds of baby crocodile tears). Then, the gallows, simple and obvious.
It's at the burned tenement that Athessa and Bartimaeus' pre-teen nemesis pipes up with:
