Jon made the short trek back to the town, seeing no reason to stop at his house.
The town looked like he expected a long dirt and cobblestone path with building ons both sides. Jon wandered through the town before seeing a store that had a picture of hair on it. he went in.
for only 50 silver, which he learned was half a gold he could recustomize his hair.
it was pretty cool, he looked at a computer screen and could see himself, with several different hairstyles, at first he kept on looking not wanting any of them but finally decided he'd have to get one of them, so instead of thinking which one he liked the best he thought which one would look the best on a girl
finally settling on wavy blond hair with bangs. he sat in a chair and one of those hair dryer things went over his head. about 3 minutes later it lifted up and long blond hair fell out of it, and some in front of his face.
He was really embarrassed the only upside was that nobody he knew could see him now wearing these skimpy girls clothes high heels makeup and now with a girly hairdo.
He checked his stats he had an attractiveness of 4, he had gained 5 points at least.
The next store over it was a beauty salon. he looked over the options found that he could get his legs waxed, better makeup, and get his nails done, for 5 gold so he payed, being down to 4.5 gold now he sat in a chair, and this time instead of magic doing the work strips of paper covered his legs, then quickly they were all torn off causing him immense pain, he even saw a red "10" appear, it had taken half his health, and done more damage than the sword had! "damn ow!" he thought.
for his nails he chose pink since it had the highest attractiveness, he also noted that for every 1/4 inch in length it was another point. begrudgingly he chose 1/2" nails and watched as his nails grew a full half inch in length and turned hot pink. lastly he watched the makeup on his face change, his lips became a darker red, his eyeshadow went from black to green and his eyelashes got fuller. He could barely look at himself he was so ashamed.
he left the store, once again checking his stats, his equipment bonus had gone up one it was now 15+15-10, he had gained a good bit more, he now had a 15 in attractiveness. He wasn't sure how proud of this he should be, but atleast he was that much closer to beating the game and getting out of this nightmare.
He wondered what else he could do, he was as feminine as he could get, short of his physical body... could he change that.
He pulled out the paper and found a help guide, searching for a bit, he found that in every town was a store for body customization, but it cost 50 gold! that would take forever to get.
looking at details he learned something the anonymous player had already known he couldn't use his "Dance" and "Seduce" abilities in towns but if he was in a bar or Inn they gained different abilities, they temporarily increased his attractiveness, and not only that at bars and Inns players and other characters were allowed to give him money...
Was that his only choice? he didn't want to try fighting again, he didn't think he was nearly strong enough for that, maybe he could join a group but who would want someone as weak as him.
he looked in his bag, only 4 gold 50 silver, he wondered how much people usually gave dancers.
Jon looked towards the town's bar fearfully, but slowly made his way towards it.
Once inside Jon looked around there were tables around and there was a bar at the far side, he saw 3 other dancer characters positioned around the bar all were dancing seductively to the music, he could see hearts over the men's heads
Jon found an large open spot between 2 of the dancers, and concentrated and used the spell "Dance" only this time he didn't gain some instant knowledge on what to do, the spell was active but it was all on him.
Jon froze up, the only part that made him able to do this was that when he used Seduce earlier it was almost like the game took over and did it for him, but it seems that was just for beginners. now Jon had to do it himself. He looked at the dancers on both sides of him and decided to mimic their movements more or less.
He felt a breeze Emanate out from him and a few men turned their heads, their looks were creeping Jon out but he couldn't stop now. he saw a few hearts appear over some of their heads. that was good at least. though he was trembling with fear.
