Also thinks abt marcia dedicating the first like 50 years of her time as a ghost to pissing off marcellus

#marcia as a ghost any time marcellus has a minor inconvenience: have you tried kidnapping a child about it? #marcellus to seemingly thin air: THAT WAS ONE TIME AND I APOLOGISED #sep talks #septimus heap #marcia overstrand #marcellus pye #she also appears to septimus 100% of the time without fail EXCEPT for when she knows marcellus will go insane trying to convince septimus #that she really is there and he's not losing it #he'll go 'she's right there!! Floating!!!! Laughing at me!!!!' #and septimus will be like. She literally always Appears to me why would that change now? She's not that petty #and marcellus just has to put up with this. Bc marcia is dead and no longer has any limitations on how much time she can spend making #his day worse #he'll be doing alchemical experiments and stuff will start just falling over for no reason when he rlly needs it not to #and he'll just go 'marcia I know you're there. Stop that this is important for the sake of the castle' #except this time it's alther #anyway marcia decides to be a poltergeist until she gets bored and when that happens she's like. Totally civil with marcellus and acts like #nothing happened
