Chloe had wondered whether to go through with the harvest party once Lalo had disappeared, but as they say, the show must go on. There's still a lot worth celebrating, and people need something hopeful after the mess last month. Luckily her house had made it through everything all right.

The poster had said to wear a costume, so she's hoping to see a lot of those, and she’d recruited some people to help her put together the menu exactly to Lalo’s specifications, so unfortunately no one is safe from British Potatoes. There are even candles for the birthday cake.

Chloe herself is dressed as a sexy lumberjack, with one of Lalo’s old flannels tied in a knot under her breasts and denim cutoffs made from the jeans Kostya had gotten blood on (shh). She's got a fire roaring, because otherwise she’d freeze.

"Oh- yes, the Creole gentleman." It's a neutral-positive statement, a plain description. "Only briefly, I happened to pass the store during the aurora, I heard his phonograph. He seems fairly upright, all things considered."

He's a jazz lover from a similar time period to him, and a Black man on top of that; upright largely meant 'wouldn't sell you out for a single corn chip'.

'Upright' definitely isn't Chloe’s own impression of Louis, having caught him sulking in his coffin after breaking into his house, then having him show up bawling on her doorstep because he thought she’d been sleeping with his boyfriend. However, she does realize that this is the image he's generally trying to project.

“He makes half-decent tea too, all things considered.”
