Coffee Talk Game Dub
Ekcoes for Gala
Gala is a werewolf that works at the local hospital and one of Coffee Talk's best customers. Also friends with Hyde. Like Hyde, Gala doesn't age normally as they both met in the 1960s. He's what you'd call a Noble Wolf as he works at a hospital specifically to help improve and save lives. Like all werewolves though, he does have to transform at least once a month and is actively looking for a solution to prevent his transformation. All werewolves have their own means to help subdue their transformations and Gala thinks coffee is his solution. Hence why he goes to the coffee shop. He displays an average range of emotions and always keeps his emotions in check and never raises his voice. But he's still a happy nice guy. He appears on Day 2 and Day 4 (aka chapters 2 and 4).
So for his voice, I was thinking Bigsby Wolf from The Wolf Among Us but slightly deeper (https://youtu.be/0gaY2tvgtKE). Since he is a hefty man I think a deeper voice would suit him best and add some gruff to it as well. But he is a pretty happy nice guy so add some Jollyness too it as well. Santa Clause voice pops in my head but obviously Gala isn't gonna start Ho Ho Ho'ing. Hope that makes sense. But as always feel free to try your own takes on what you think he should sound like.
(Context: Hyde and Gala are having a discussion about what Gala does for his job at the hospital)
(Normal Response) Admission Officer.
And yes, I’m still a hospital admission officer there.
(Hyde Line: “They should give u a promotion.” [DON’T READ])
(Normal Response) They offered me a managerial position.
But I declined. I prefer doing this.
(Context: Freya is lecturing Hyde on his brutal honesty and how it comes off as pretty mean. Gala is agreeing with Freya.)
(Compassionate Advice) Listen to her Hyde.
She’s got a good point.
(Hyde Lines)
(A Bit Surprised) I was a bit surprised, though.
Usually, you don’t bother with this kind of thing.
I’ve seen you actively avoid it.
(Context: Hyde is asking Gala if he’s found a less painful way to suppress his monthly fury. [Because he’s a werewolf and werewolves gotta transform])
(Normal Response) A certain combination of ginger and caffeine.
(Hyde Line: “Is that why you got coffee with ginger?” [DON’T READ])
(Normal Response) Yes, I’m exploring the possibilities.
But this drink wasn’t the one
I guess there’s too much caffeine in coffee for it to be the remedy.
