The day passed in blood, liquor and black lace. Not so unlike the others. He expected the debauchery, the violence. The symphony of gunfire. An NCPD Enforcer set ablaze beneath the neon sky, the sound of it's burning only deafened by their laughter. But he did not expect the cake. He couldn't remember the last time he had had one. Sometime long before. Before he was this. Before the callouses and the scars. He could hardly even picture it now—delicate hands ripped away from the flame of a birthday candle. Another life, one that no longer belonged to him.
He plucked a chocolate frosted cigarette and placed it between his lips. An attempt to hide his smile. "You make this all by yourself?"
"Fuck no. Klepped it from some fucking kid."
"Smokes too?"
"Took 'em from your glove box."
"Fuckin' devil."
"Happy birthday, Dag."
The words rang sweet as the cigarette tasted. Like none he had had before.

We made it out of the Underdark, through the cursed shadowlands and are safely camping at the Last Light.
Random Harper: You must stay in the light! If you dont-
Lily: Yeah, yeah, cursed shadowcreatures, we've all seen them.
Rest of party: what?
Lily: Nothing
Jaheira still gave us drugged wine, Lily still drank it (I'm doing my absolute best to keep all her choices the same, even if I'm doing them in a different order).
Dammon gave Karlach her second upgrade, and then things went weird. She had dialogue she didn't have last time around, basically trying to drag Lily to bed.
Lily, shoving her physically towards Dammon: Go repeat that to the nice infernal smith. He's infatuated.
This time around I didn't fuck up the Last Light fight multiple times so everyone is still alive! Hurrah! I will have a store in Act 2! His Majesty still died though, which I am sad about. From the position of his body it looked like he was trying to trip up one of the winged horrors by winding around their ankles.
Lily, sobbing gently as she insists on burying him: Typical bloody cat.
Back at camp that night and again, the companions are being weird.
Karlach (with her approval of only 50 something): I can touch you. I could touch you forever.
Lily: That smith still fancies you. Go touch him forever.
Gale, with his approval of 94, still hasn't shown us an image of Mystra, offered to teach us to Weave or offered to show us a magic trick. Which honestly, Lily is fine with. He's a lovely man, she's just not into him.
We gave Shadowheart a statue of Shar and a night orchid, so she's all doe eyed at Lily again, but easily ignored.
Wyll though! OMG Wyll! Lily woke up in the middle of the night and he was practising his dancing! And he said he had a new partner!
Lily, stumbling about half asleep: mmm? tha's nice. Who is it?
Wyll: You
Lily, suddenly wide awake and backing away: Um, sorry dude, I just don't see you like that
Wtf? This didn't happen last time? Why is Wyll romancing us now? Don't get me wrong, Wyll is adorable, with his fairy tale prince vibes and wanting a chivalric romance and all. But Lily is a horrible blood covered gremlin most of the time and is not the girl for him.
I felt very bad about the sad puppy dog eyes I got, until I read @rederiswrites son's theory this morning. Lily just got up to pee and stumbled over Wyll with his secret dance practice accidentally. I no longer feel bad for saying no. The idea of Lily being just, "sorry buddy, but I really need to pee and you're in the way" had me wheezing.
Lily, grumbling to Astarion: I don't get it, why are they all being so fucking weird? At least you haven't changed.
Astarion: Darling, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about but I'll see your delicious self tonight.
Lily: Normality restored.
