|ID = 248708, 248712
|Description = You don't look quite respectable enough for her on your own, but with some help you can attract her attention.
|Description summary = The remainder of the description with {{IL|Bone Market Exhaustion}}. Additionally, at Exhaustion < 4, an extra phrase is added based on {{IL|Skeleton in Progress}}.

{{Variant table
|Condition = Bone Market Exhaustion |Condition alias = Exhaustion |Effect = Description|Compact = yes
|Value < 4 = She buys skeletons[…], Epaulette Mates, and Weasels of Social Discomfiture.

She pays in Memories of Light and Tailfeathers as Brilliant as Flame.

Quantities of Tailfeathers scale with your antiquity multiplied by itself.
|Value ≥ 4 = She buys Epaulette Mates and Weasels of Social Discomfiture.

She pays in Surface Currency, Tailfeathers[…], and Moves in the Great Game.

At other times she would be able to pay well for skeletons […], but her funds are too depleted at the moment.

{{Variant table
|Condition = Skeleton in Progress |Effect = Additional phrase after "buys skeletons" |Compact = yes
|Value 0 (Hypothetical Skeleton) = (which you would need to assemble)

{{Variant table
|Condition = Skeleton: Antiquity |Condition alias = Antiquity |Effect = Game Instructions |Compact = yes
|Value 0 = '''''Since you don't currently have a skeleton with antiquity to offer, this buyer will not be as rewarding as they otherwise might be.'''''
|Value 1 = '''''Your current skeleton has only one point of antiquity. This buyer will pay something for that, but you aren't getting the most out of their bonus effect.'''''
|Value 2 = '''''Your current skeleton has two points of antiquity. More would make this buyer pay out more extensively.'''''
|Value 3 - 4 = '''''Your current skeleton has enough antiquity to make this buyer interesting.'''''
|Value 5+ = '''''Your current skeleton has a lot of antiquity. This buyer would love that.'''''

Note that the cost of hiring the busker will be lost even if you decide not to do business with the Ambassador – so be sure you have something to sell her.

|Success title = Socially acceptable
|Success description = The Impoverished Viscount has no money but plenty of social credit. Restock his cellars, and he's happy to make a few discreet introductions and assurances on your behalf. An hour or so later, he comes round with the Ambassador on his arm.
