Origin[]
Viktor Oliva was a Nouveau artist who fell in love with the bohemian Parisian lifestyle in the late 1880's, and had a fondness for absinthe and ballooning. His most famous work was "Absinthe Drinker". The painting featured an absinthe drinker, and a green woman. It was based on the phenomenon known as "The green fairy", a euphemism from the hallucinogenic effects of the absinthe.
Effects[]
When a person looks at the painting and then consumes any kind of alcohol within the next three hours, an apparition of a green woman will appear. Only the affected will be able to see and hear her. She is actually very nice, and is quite funny. Unfortunately, she will not disappear until three hours have passed.
Collection[]
Artie and James collected this from the Café Slavia in Prague, leaving behind an exact copy. They were alerted to this artifact by consistent reports of a "green waitress" whom no one else could see. Artie occasionally will activate this artifact and reminisce with the Green Fairy when he is feeling lonely.
