[ their dex is actually fairly decent so pretty good at bottle toss. they are looking and staring at the wig though. my god. ]
Sounds like you ended up in the right place. Let me get you a drink and you can tell me about it? [ they don't mean for it to sound like a question but they're also not going to force her to talk. they're curious though, the outside world of the bar is madness. ]
[ a low whistle follows while they shake their head. ]
Yeah, some of these drinks are showing up and I can't remove them from the menu? So I tried to counter it with other ones. [ they did not choose bald. but they'll turn to grab a glass and a few new bottles to make her something. ]
Am I right that you'd prefer something less sweet?
[ to work they go... they are in the process of making her an old fashioned, though they are only using the most minimal amount of sugar and are a little heavier on the bitters to mix well and mellow out before sliding it over. ]
It's exactly as it sounds. I was at the, um, love festival, and suddenly we both found ourselves acting as though we had deep feelings for one another. And then, eventually, it wore off.
If it makes you feel better, chocolates normally don't do anything. They're just candy and people give 'em out around the holiday. But if it's anything like the green soda I heard about maybe it's just another heavenly side effect.
I wanna toss out a disclaimer that some of these drinks are the bar fixtures and not my idea. I've tried to pull them from the menu and... yeah, I got nothing. But that explains the wig. How long's that supposed to last?
I would be very hard-pressed to believe heaven would leave you bald. If the guacamole soda only lasted a few hours I'm sure your beautiful hair will be back in no time.
[ there's no verbal response but the body language is relaxed all the same, like they're fine with her saying this. but they are eyeing the wig... ]
No? I wouldn't say it's bad but, uh, yeah not really what I expected. Couldn't find a different one? I mean I guess unexpected balding doesn't give you much time to plan.
They were all ugly, so it didn't seem worth trying to be picky. At least with this one, it looks like I picked it on purpose to be obvious.
[instead of just looking like she tried to find a wig that looked like her hair and failed. but also i was making a joke about her hair becoming white later.]
[yeah she changes her hairstyle in Act 3, depending on how things went down she either dyes it white or doesn't. either way she gets rid of the horrible bangs though.]
...Thanks. That does reassure me. Though I admittedly wouldn't mind seeing your face for real.
Then consider my job done. [ haha. but they shrug to that. ] I don't know how that's gonna work. Your eyes will adjust for the Angels, eventually, but I'm not that high-ranking. I might be regulated to... uh, well, basic NPC status for your stay here.
Probably more time. Probably the end of the trial period, and if you became permanent residents of heaven? I'm not... really a part of all of this. I'm extra hands, but I don't have the same job or abilities as the Angels. I'd ask God, but they tend to ignore me. So I get most of my information from the Angels and you guys.
[ which is fair, they think, since they are just a person who's extra help rather than proctoring the whole thing. ]

Think I need you to back up for me a sec. What's this about being temporarily in love with Anders? [ they have not seen the network... ]
no subject
Have you ever heard of such a thing?

Valentine's Day. [ and then, dubiously: ] What kind of food's over there?

I will hope for accuracy, then. I don't know if this color suits.

[ i truly have been sitting here going "what happens to her hair in bg3" because i keep seeing pictures where it's white, help. ]
Give it a couple of hours and you'll probably be fine.
