Remembering the Dead

[sweetcandygirl]

Harley Quinn is seated on a large rock in the Nexus today. She seems to already to be in the Halloween spirit, as the colorful young woman is dressed as a circus ringmaster. But despite her colorful costume, her usual energetic spirit seems to be missing today.

She has a bouquet of flowers in her hand. And takes one of the flowers, then slowly removes the petals of the flower one-by-one, scattering them underneath her.

"This year is going to be the first time that I am not in Arkham, during a death-a-versary. And I am not really sure what I should do?" She bites her bottom lip for a moment. "How do you remember those who are gone, without letting the memories overwhelm you?"

Briefly distracted by an anatomically inaccurate skeleton spider, it takes her a moment or to catch up with Harley. She looks over the picture and smiles. It's not quite what she expected, but she likes the look of it.

"It's beautiful. I think that would look very nice on you."

Her smile turns shy and she tugs on the strap of her messenger bag. "Um... have you ever heard of Carmen Sandiego? She's a character in a video game that teaches Earth geography. She goes around the world stealing famous treasure."

Harley grins when Adia explains her costume. "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego..." she hums a little.

"She had nothing on me or my gang. But damn, that woman could hide..."

"You know the song!" she squeals, before blushing over her fangirl outburst. "Yeah, that's her," she adds more quietly. "I ended up playing her game when I was reading up on Earth. I really like her outfit."

"Are you going to be a ringmaster? That's what you're dressed as, right?"

[sweetcandygirl]

"Yep. I thought I would bring a little circus to the Nexus."

The Nexus is already a circus, is what Adia thinks, but she doesn't want to rain on Harley's parade. "Well, it's a lovely costume. It suits you. Are you planning to go to the party at the Crossroads Café? It's always a great time."

[sweetcandygirl]

"Oh I plan to be there." Harley grins. She is feeling in a better mood already.
