Origin[]
The 1960's in the US are known as the "Hippie Decade". In response to the post-war industrialization, McCarthyism paranoia, and the growing civil rights movement, many of the youth of America took a counter-culture stance. Those within the "Free Love" spirit aimed for peace and harmony to defy rigid social structures and politics that they saw as oppressive. Tie-Die shirts, long hair, and love beads were common fashion statements at the time.
Usage[]
When worn, the beads will fill the user with feelings of peace and love. They have also been known to cancel-out the effects of hate artifacts. Caution is to be used when wearing this artifact, as the wearer will be extremely mellow regardless of the severity of the situation.
Collection[]
Artie bought this artifact off of an "interesting woman who smelled of corn chips" at a flea market. She insisted that she wanted to be free of "materialistic slavery" and was thus selling everything she owned to join a commune. The beads are placed within the Hall of Hate in order to nullify the effects of more unpleasant artifacts.
