[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]
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.
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.
[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?
Hunh. Sort of surprised there's still ice cream.

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.

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