(Budding Thorns) Interloper

There it is! Robert Page. He'd made his first debut on social media, releasing weekly videos and collecting 'likes'. Evidently the focus of his clips were on art and graffiti, which eventually kicked him off into a full-length television show. There are several links to his older work on his biography page, each one cataloging unusual collections of artwork from around the area. Mhairi, at least, has an idea of who the guy is now. Nothing along the lines of a phone number or address on his site, of course, but even minor celebrities would probably prefer that information kept a secret.

Scrolling through her list of contacts, Sera plugs and plays until she gets a bite; Page is going to host another art gala in downtown Sacramento! Word on the street is that it's an open house, this time. The guy probably just wants more people to pay attention to him... The event is happening early in February, giving Sera and Mhairi some time to plan things out.

"He's been around for a while," says Mhairi more to herself then Sera as the Nix was doing her own thing with her phone. Though the wisp speaks up when she sees that the Fairest has finished with her calls and texts.

"Graffiti all over, art shows...and a-a TV show...? Holy hannah." the wisp's fell flames flicker up at Sera. "How has this guy been around for this long, with thus level of....stuff going on, and we not knowing anything about it?"

[Seraphina]

She feels triumphant at finally getting some info.

Looking to the Wisp, she shrugs, "It's hard to say. Maybe we've just never noticed this before." absently nodding towards the sign. "Or maybe him, and someone else, have been slowly building influence." another shrug.

"But what I do know, is he's hosting another art gala early next month. It's an open house, so we wouldn't need an excuse to stop by and see what we can gather." she sucked at coming up with excuses on the fly. "If you want to go, I'm all for it. Those things are sometimes a bore, but we'll be there on a mission. And an excuse to dress up and mingle." always a plus for the Fairest. "So what do you say?"

[Mhairi Ankaa]

'Slowly building influence' sounded like 'insidious threat' to Mhairi's ears. "Yeah..." she said, not bothering to hide the nerves flickering through her voice.

The wisp nods, "We have to go." even if she really, really didn't want to, that had to. For the Freehold.

Then trying to cheer herself up, and maybe the Nix, though as always it was hard to tell if the Fairest (or anyone really) needed her to do so, "That means we have a shopping trip to plan dosen't it?"

[Seraphina]

An absent nod. Seemed they were going to the open house.

Chuckling, "I don't usually say no to a shopping trip, but I have outfits set aside for these types of things. Since dipping my toe into the entertainment world, I've had to had more business tailored clothes." and she already had her outfit planned. "But if you want to go shopping I guess we could. I'm sure I could find something I need."
