So I know what this is all about– Marcus heard that we took the equipment on the road to accommodate Alfgar, and now he’s insisting that we do the same for him.

Says he’s too busy. Says he works, too.

Marcus does not work.

Marcus relies on the kindness of oth–

What?

Oh?

I’ll believe that when I see–

Marcus insists that he goes to school. Dual enrollment, even. AND he has a job, which does not involve, cough, personal services, AND he still performs now and then.

Well, Marcus, you know what they say:  Trust, but verify.

*rolls eyes*

Bard’s College.

Please. How much do you really have to do to become a bard? Learn a couple songs, maybe read a book of poems?

I heard you just gotta pay the fees, show up a couple of times, maybe take a night class or two– I mean, listen to that Mikael fellow.. or whatisname the orc down in Morthal? Isn’t he a graduate? Yeesh.

What about that guy at your last gig?

Yeah, him–

Marcus says no, really, that guy’s just a singer.

We’ve all heard the Bard’s College takes anybody.

Ten septims a month and it all can be yours… it’s not like Marcus been accepted to the College of Whispers or the Scholar’s Guild,or–

Oh.

Marcus explained that, yes, he was at the College of Winterhold (for obvious reasons) for awhile–

— but after what happened, he doesn’t want anyone’s sympathy, he just doesn’t wanna hear it.

Well, we were very sorry to hear about all of that.

Marcus is a student in regular enrollment now, he says. He’s passed his apprentice levels (Illusion/Alteration), and his preceptor is Urag gro-Shug. Right now he’s working on a little project for the library– you know they’ve had to rebuild it after–

Marcus says it has been exciting times at the College for sure, and it keeps him busy.

 

Marcus said that ties into the work he does for Auryen Morellus back up at the Museum:

Um, Marcus?

Isn’t that just hanging around and serving drinks?

Marcus insists that he is, in fact, a relic collector:

 

Alright, we get it.

Marcus has a job, Marcus goes to school, Marcus is a busy person.

We take the equipment on the road to accommodate Alfgar– that’s the problem, isn’t it? Whatever Alfgar gets, Marcus wants?

Now Marcus is advising us that HE is Alfgar’s boss. Because it’s the relic collector who figures out where the artifacts are, and which ones are worth getting– Alfgar’s just the muscle, really…

You know what, I give up. We’ll go up to where Marcus is; we’ll follow him around and do kind of a day in the life…

But I’m not bringing in lunch. Not after what happened with the mead bottle.

And yes, Marcus–

You have to wear the armor at work. That’s the whole point, yes?

Why are we going in via the window?

Uh-oh.

I did try to get a picture of Marcus lying on the floor after he fell off the shelf, but I had a sudden problem with the camera and we had to get out of town rather suddenly–

Clothing is Furb’s Scoundrel’s Armor Remastered and that headache-inducing but lovely ENB in the outfit pics Snapdragon Prime ENB with some hamhanded edits.

We’re hanging around in Immersive College of Winterhold and Legacy of the Dragonborn and are apparently burglarizing um.

Well, this is embarrassing, I have no idea where we were. [Maybe Dragon’s Rest Estate ? I’m not certain.]

Marcus says that’s good. Plausible deniability.

Or, at least I won’t be able to give it up under torture.

 

Solstheim.

Solstheim sounds lovely this time of year, don’t you agree?

Marcus says he’s got a cute little place up there.
