Wednesday DE: Oooooo ghosts

[angry_friendship_wolf]

How superstitious is your pup? Do they believe in anything that doesn't provably exist in their world, like ghosts or aliens?

Cisco - Cisco doesn't actively believe in ghosts or alien visitors, but when he finds himself in spooky ass situations like dark spaces or creepy houses his brain is totally willing to start considering the possibility. Especially after he's spent time watching scary movies.

Superstitions like black cats and ladders earn eye rolls. He figures there are more important things to worry about, like the eventual rise of the machines or zombie apocalypse which are things that could actually happen.

Barry - Barry isn't superstitious at all. Ever the optimist, his focus is more on hope and making things better than than on bad luck or omens.

He also doesn't believe in ghosts, but he's not going to argue anybody who does or claims to have seen one. Based on science and the vastness of the universe aliens totally have to exist somewhere out there, but whether or not they've visited his Earth yet he's not 100% sure. He's also not 100% sure that they haven't either, though! So, door's open on that one.

Matt - Matt doesn't believe in any of it. He's too cynical and has his hands full juggling his regular crisis of faith to worry about superstitious crap.

Logan - Logan knows aliens, and he's dealt with ghosts in one form or another. Like so many things it's all just different day, same bullshit.

Bill - Bill has also dealt with ghosts and aliens. It sucked. A lot. He's not actively superstitious, but he also doesn't press his luck. Walking around a ladder instead of under it ain't so hard so why not just skip the risk?

I don't know about superstitious, but there is a lot of 'do this to avoid bad luck' sort of things that Wei Wuxian follows in a sort of 'this is the way it is' way. I mean. There's all sorts of actual ghosts and spirits and whatnot out there, it helps not to attract more trouble than you can deal with.

..
He really needs to get better at that.

Wilson is the inverse of superstitious, as opposed to just not being superstitious. Ghosts and magic provably exist in his world but he absolutely hates admitting the former and flat out refuses to acknowledge the existence of the latter.
