This is Halloween!

[we_bring_hell]

The Bar loves her holidays, but she is also capable of respecting religious strictures. That's why she put a lot of thought into finding a Halloween costume for Harrow that works with her face paint and general insistence on the monochromatic.

Harrow, for her part, is baffled by the white-pinstriped black suit and the oversized bow, but the gloves are very cool, and the buckled shoes suit as well. She has no idea what's going on but she can live with this.

The Bar seems even more unusually populated than usual, and there are a lot of gourds around. Hm.

Fair enough.

"Indeed," she says. "You have certainly had remarkable discoveries."

[acrookedpath]

Wei Wuxian flashes a quick grin, pleased by the acknowledgement. "Perhaps now that I am dead, they will see them that way, too."

He doubts it. Very much so. But as long as he is making wishes on birthday candles at Madam Bar's behest, he may as well wish for that, too.

"I suppose it comes of living among secretive cultists," she muses. "But public acknowledgment has never drawn me... there's something so romantic about taking a secret to your grave."

[acrookedpath]

His smile goes a little crooked, a little wry.

"It is not so much that I want to be lauded endlessly," he says. "I don't. But if they ever acknowledge what I discovered, as more than something wicked and evil, then perhaps the next cultivator who wishes to forge their own path will not have as much trouble."

"Of course," she says. "I apologize for making light."

[acrookedpath]

He waves his free hand to dismiss her concerns, shaking his head. "Ah, don't apologize, there is no need," he says. "You have seen me. I will make light of anything given half a chance -- others are free to do the same."

"I have no skill for speaking frivolously," she says. "I shall leave that art to you and Gideon."

[acrookedpath]

Very solemn, as he holds up three fingers in a pledge:

"And we will hold the line of frivolity for you, Reverend Daughter."
