a. spa party
[Well, Harrow was dragged here by Molly under the argument that it was an indulgence to spend all day lazing around in the spa, so. That's what she's doing. But also, some friends are invited? Or were bullied by others into coming?
Harrow is hanging out in the spa - she's being very much an awkward teen at a pool party, still dressed in an undershirt and shorts in the water, because she's not sitting here naked with you fucks. But she is relaxing in the warm water, with a mask on instead of face paint, sipping a glass of water with lemon and a little sugar in it as a tasty treat.
She seems to be having trouble truly relaxing? But it's fine.]
b. cosmetics
[At the end of the spa party, Harrow is using the assorted makeup to redo her face paint. But if you've ever wanted to get some cool skull makeup, come over? She can do you, too?]

[give her cool skull makeup too, harrow!!
which is to say, she's definitely coming over to get a look at what she's doing.]
...I always wondered how you did that. It looks really good!

Ah. It's only paint. [But she's pretty good at the detail work - dark lines and shading. The skull she wears on a day to day basis is pretty simple, but she can change it up.]
This is the classic Ninth House Mask of Death, though there are others that are far more intricate.

Would you like me to paint you one? It's hard to explain, without seeing for yourself. Different markings are emphasized, to evoke a particular tradition of the Ninth.
[molly's dick is probably not out because harrow and half the other people in this room would probably fucking kill him, but it's yalls loss. He's taken off most everything else that could get ruined by spa water though except one shiny new earring that he seems more reluctant to part with.
Also enjoying a nice sugar lemon water treat that also definitely is not water. it's just clear liquor. don't worry about it. someone will probably pull him out if he starts to drown.]
This is always the first thing I do when I roll into a new town. Find the bathhouse. Can't believe it took five weeks to get a proper one.

[she beams]
I'd love that! Make me pretty, okay?

[Maybe everyone except Harrow would have been cool with it. Don't assume.]
. . . It isn't terrible. My family used to use a ceremonial pool beneath the crypt for private prayer and contemplation and discussion of matters of highest secrecy. It's similar.
[It's not? At all?]

[It's not? At all?]
Ah - already done. I shall just have to ensure I don't ruin the effect.
[Okay, so she'll start by applying just kind of a white base foundation to everywhere except the eyes?]

[Please relax, ma'am.
Sheila herself isn't naked, either, which may or may not be due to the fact that Takeru is also here. Somewhere. Sassafras is out there. She sips at a hot drink in an opaque cup, sighing contently as she sinks further into the pool.]
What do you think? I could stay here forever...

That is not equivalent the use of the ceremonial pool.
I thought I'd dislike it - it isn't very productive, just lying here in the heat, but it isn't bad.
[Not being very productive is the whole point?]
[Not being very productive is the whole point?]
No, it had gas heating. All of Drearburh would be too cold for human habitation without it.
I'm sure you won't!
[she'll be very still while harrow's working!]
[she'll be very still while harrow's working!]
[Okay, well. Doing her eyes next. Just dark black racoon eyes - not the most flattering makeup look. And then a dab of black on the tip of the nose, too.]
[she giggles a little. that tickles!
she can't see this yet. but surely it'll turn out fine.]

[Cute. Okay, so for this part, she'll draw something a little more detailed than usual - usually she just does some cheekbone streaks, but she'll draw in a little more detailing, and then add lines for teeth to her mouth and one intricate looking crack detail running down the side of her temple.]
[note to self: if someone murders sqx this week have her skull get cracked in this exact spot so it's foreshadowing]
[Sorry that she loves her horrible frozen hell castle filled with bones that is on Pluto!]
. . . I do prefer this as well. My memories of the ceremonial pool are less than fond, even if it is all soothing somehow, to be immersed in water.

[Fuck off!!!!!!
Anyway, she'll finish it with some detailing around the chin and lip. There, she looks super goth and pretty. Go seduce your goth man away from his goth girlfriend.]
There. Prayers of the Martyred Priestess. It does suit your features, I think.

[to whom are you referring, exactly
anyway, she opens her eyes to check herself out in the mirror]
It looks great! Thanks, Harrow!
