[have a fellow angsty redhead! comes in from the street, picking bits of thread off of his sleeveless shirt - is rocking that look, with suspenders and a dark green, worn-looking pair of pants]

Hunh. Sort of surprised there's still ice cream.

[hello there, angsty redhead. have a friendly smile to greet you as soon as you walk through that door]

Well, the methods used are probably quite dated as compared to what you're used to, but yes. Ice-cream has been around for several decades.

[tilts his head, belatedly:] Good evening, sir.

Evening. ... Found a few nickels in my pocket. Is that enough? ... No idea how or when we get money here. [and after the day he's had? he could use some sugar]

Five cents will be quite enough. [that's what the mun is guessing, anyway. besides, Albus is a sap, and seeing a tired guy like this, who'd deny him some ice-cream?]

Nor I, really... Have you been assigned to a farm or ranch or place of business?

I have. [fishes a grubby nickel out of his pocket and puts it down on the counter] Working with some women in the tailor shop. So far I think I'm the only one who knows how to sew.

[takes it, and gets his scoop and stuff ready as he goes over to the ice-cream buckets or whatever. they've got vanilla, chocolate, and an assortment of fruit flavours. he gestures, asking silently which the gentleman would like. he smiles, amused]

Well, some of the placement seems to have been extraordinarily arbitrary. I think we have an atheist as our priest.

An atheist. [somehow, that actually gets a laugh. it's quiet, and small, but still, gasp and surprise!] Might actually get me to church.

[points to the one that looks like it might be strawberry] I'll have that one.

Certainly. [aaaand he ladles you up a nice helping in a plastic/paper cup, or whatever they served ice-cream in those days. he sticks a little stick/spoon in it and hands it over] Here you go.

I may find myself attending as well, just to see what the service is like.

Thanks. [nibbles at it for a few moments. yay, sugar]

... Seem like you're okay with all of this.

You're welcome.

[he beams] Well, I'm not used to the surroundings, the but time period is somewhat similar. And I work in an ice-cream parlour. [laugh] I'm very okay with it.

The entire situation is disconcerting, of course, but what can we do but weather it?

Much worse places to have been put, yes. ... [sighs, heavily, and helps himself to a seat. mutters] Still wish they hadn't taken my face.

[leans on the counter. his face is sympathetic as he makes a guess]

The transition to human changed your appearance?

shrt_temper June 24 2009, 02:42:08 UTC
No. Was always human. ... This ... this is my other face. Don't usually show it to people.

lifeandliesof June 24 2009, 03:06:36 UTC
Ah.

[pause. think]

Well, when you put back on your other face, people won't know it's you, shall they? No harm done.
