Mary is like: i can excuse ritualistic murder but i draw the line at profiting from it

[rydertheashen]

Can we all just collectively shudder at the pure manic joy in Jon's voice as he cracks open the floorboard compartment?

[margo]

Oh boi oh yes this was one of my absolute favourites. Specially the "using it to make money!? It sickened me. It still does." Keep up the beautiful job dear team!

[IFalled]

Anyone who says Gertrude and Mary liked eachother have evidently never had a grandparent who despised someone.

[theWeaverofTales]

Is a high sass level a requirement for the position of Archivist?

"I do hate the smell of burning skin"
sounds like... you're familiar with it. Anything you wanna share with us, Gertrude?

[muffinn]

- "Tea?"
- "god no, I hate that stuff."

In a British show, she just has to be a Villain, there's no way around it.

"Statement of Mary Keay"

So much adrenaline shot through my body at that line.

[joxterrose]

"I rather hate the smell of burning skin. Anyway-"
HON YOU CANT JUST DROP THAT

[b-blythe]

I wasn't expecting to love Mary Keay, but here I am. I think her voice is my favorite so far.
Also, her saying she prefers to "diversify her portfolio, " I feel like it sort of backs up my theory that the Magnus Institute is associated with one specific entity (probably the giant eye one) and Mary decided she'd rather dip her toes into all of them.
The creaking floorboards!!! Those have been bothering me in the background of all Gertrude's tapes because I thought they were doors being opened! But early hints at a secret storage area? This podcast is so satisfying gosh dang.

So there's a flesh book, a tiny animal bone book, a bone fuckery book, a book that smells of ozone and gives you vertigo (which has been burned), and a book that burns/boils people. Mary has the flesh and tiny animal bone book. Gerard used it on her???? Jared has the bone fuckery book (The Boneturner's Tale). Ex Altiora, the ozone-vertigo book, was burned by Gerard. The burning/boiling book is in the possession of the police force because they got it from Jose after he burned a house. That or Jose got it back or something.


Gotcha.

[mackenziedillon]

Jonathan and Gertrude think alike, don't they.

[eyesgalore]

i've only had mary keay for 22 minutes but if anything happened to her i would throw a party

[LunDruid]

"I'd never killed before. I didn't particularly enjoy it." is such a freaking creepy and unsettling statement!

[Companion]

Wow, Mary is really creepy. I'm happy that Jon found the laptop. Can't wait to see where this leads

[tieflingteeth]

whoever theorized in the episode when the leitner books were first show that the book was made in human flesh

you got it

[TheJuliana]

oh GOD there are so many lines that Mary says that are just so... indicative of her personality. she's... certainly interesting, and oh boy her dynamic with Gertrude. also who's Eric??

[nanahuatli]

Yes, Mary is just as delightfully creepy as Michael... and wow, lots of biblical names, huh.
But holy crap, so much is happening.

[Tanaka_Kenshin]

Becomes a little bit hard to track all this plot lines... Guess, I'll start to file and organise all this statement's data...

[Julian-bqqv]

first thought - Mary sounds remarkable like Salad fingers... kept waiting for her to say how much she likes rusty spewns....
