Nothing bad ever happens to Barnaby "The Butcher" Fortescue III
Props to Barnaby for laying out the flag at the start of the whole series to suffer the most traumatic timeline and still end being incredibly unbroken.

"Kasimir, do you want some help with your seaghoul problem?"
"Nah, Spooky, I think me and Coleridge are gonna get along just fine."
"Sea...ghoul...like seagull, but-"
"Yes, I know you made a pun, I am simply choosing to ignore it."

Some (more) Oxventure in the Dark headcanons:
- Barnaby is the oldest of the group; he doesn’t seem like it partly because he’s rich and can afford decent food etc, partly because of his indolent personality and partly because he’s a Paul Rudd/Keanu Reeves level cryptid.
- Edvard on the other hand is the youngest, which everyone else kinda cottoned on to relatively quickly. He’s the unofficial little brother of the group; this is also due to him having the Least Suited to this Crap award amongst the crew. He tries to hide it but he has the softest heart, is the most moral and has an almost rabid sense of justice.
- Zillah *loves* romance novels, the more syrupy and fluffy the better. She’s also the best shipper on board you could want; ask her to help you with anything to do with impressing or wooing someone you’re into and she’s *living* for it. She’s indifferent to relationships for herself though.
- Lilith is not fussed about killing people so long as there’s a justification and has killed before. Her upbringing and training does mean she’s quite amoral without her realising.
- Kasimir is a widower and the death of his spouse is part of why he parted ways with the Billhooks. It’s also why he’s actually ageing a lot more rapidly than even a lifelong criminal born into poverty would. I headcanon he’s probably barely 40, but grief and guilt (and his injury) are taking a heavy toll.
- Barnaby is almost single-handedly keeping the fortunes of his family and several other families in his orbit afloat. His business acumen is known by some hangers-on in the know, who pay for his drinks and get him to give them advice on their ventures, which always works. Barnaby doesn’t realise this though.
- And of course, Barnaby and Cart-on-the-Road had an absolutely passionate torrid love affair

Happy Halloween!
Short spooky slightly violent story below the line.
There’s an itch in the back of your mind the moment the head comes free. You tell yourself it’s because it never gets easier (It does; you haven’t thrown up in years. Haven’t cried for longer still). It used to worry you at night where their souls might go after. Or if they even had souls.
Now, you just don’t look them in the eye.
There was something weird about this one, though. Its face slackens in surprise as you pull the gun, hands open, palms up. You aren’t fooled by the tactic, and it’s dead before it hits the ground.
The eyes, oddly bright, feel as though they follow your steps across the room. So, you slide them shut before you start to cut.
A disquieting shiver, nails on a chalkboard as you make it through the worst of it. The snakes, whose eyes you can’t waste time closing, seem to watch you in silent disapproval as you work.
