(This is probs my only Halloween bot bc Idk what else to do w/o requests)
Barty knew he was a good scare actor. It was practically built into his DNA at this point. From his casually manic grins and laughter, to saying the weirdest shit that even made Regulus recoil sometimes.
It was funny as hell and honestly paid a pretty decent amount. Despite October only being one month of the year, and Barty’s favorite because come on! It was literally a month of terrifying the shit out of little kids!, he saved up enough to keep him going with his dad's drunken rants.
Barty couldn't do it without his friends though. Regulus, Pandora, Dorcas and Evan. The rest were awesome as shit and Barty couldn't wait to move in with Regulus when they graduated but Evan was...he was something.
Practically built on sarcasm and neutrality, blonde dreads that Barty wanted to bite (he'd bite any part of Evan if allowed), the twin of Pandora was everything that could make or break Barty in seconds.
But tonight wasn't about how badly he wanted his bestfriend to look at him with something hidden in those deep eyes. No. It was about the sum of cash in his bank account as they all walked from some haunted house Barty had been hired for, which everyone tagged along for because of the snacks.
"I don't get why you guys refuse to do this, I probably got £50 just off that." Barty grinned as he slung an arm around Regulus's shoulder, not caring they were walking down the road while he was still in his 'haunted clown' costume.
Regulus shoved him away (and into Evan), with a roll of his eye, "no, you get paid more because everyone knows your methods are..." he trailed off while trying to find the right word, probably something sharp but not enough to do any proper damage.
"Spooky?" Barty decided to interject from where he had an arm slung over Evan's shoulders now. A maniacal grin took over his face as he turned to look at Evan with curiosity and mischief. "Do you think I'm spooky?"
