In a world that's less scary than their actual lives, Ballard would put together haunted house. Holly will decorate it with Spider silk and then sit and wait to jump scare some guests. Atl will also be a feature on the tour, like Holly, scaring by just... existing as a 9ft tall bug.

Oh! Oh!! Mori would run an ominous fortune telling business of sorts.
He *can* glean information from the dead if he's focused, so he can legit pull facts about a client and make logical deductions (kinda something he does on the side anyways).
The spooky stuff ain't special effects. 👻

Had a thought about "straight-looking" queer relationships, & I know that while we can "stealth" it out here, we have to be visible in the queer community so 1) we don't lose touch with ourselves in the liminal tug between identity & society's default, & 2) that way the community can just be bigger.

Tack would be a little freaked out by ghosts, but I think "Pirate Ghost Bar" would be the first thing coming to Uno's mind. 😆
Tack's lifelong band from Janda Town means they'd have to get a ship.
"The Flying Drunkman" floating tavern would make a killing.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

The Proust Questionnaire is a set of questions popularized by French writer Marcel Proust. Victorians answered these questions in parlor games, and modern interviewers now often use them. They can also be a great character development tool!
