“
Cause you can burn the swap meet and the drive-in and the all-night diner to the ground, Milo-- I want new experiences... I want to feel good about my life.
— Lola to Milo (if they chose to do Lola's idea during a Seal quest)
 ”

Lola Woolfe is one of the two protagonists of the game Afterparty from Night School Studio.

Personality[]

Between Milo and herself, Lola is the more assertive and nonchalant one. She is fairly sarcastic, and she and Milo have constant witty banter. Lola is usually the one leading out of the pair, with Milo acting as moral support. She is a generally antisocial person, choosing to focus on activism rather than being social in her youth. She dislikes people who choose to spend their free time getting intoxicated and partying, rather than working towards making societal change.

Between her and Milo, Lola is more confident and prone to coming up with thought-out alternate solutions, such as manipulating Danny and his doll demon into distracting the bouncer or convincing Beth to reunite with Asmodeus in order to obtain his Seal. Lola tends to point out Milo's bad ideas, one of which being to outdrink Satan in order to escape Hell.

Official Description[]

"Happy to be done with school and the swirling social anxiety that comes with it, Lola feels ready to go out and change the world... if only she knew how.
Overwhelmed by the prospect of making any difference at all, she regrets not finding her true calling in life, but hopes to get back home to continue the search."[1]

Appearance[]

Lola has dark skin, and has neck-length dark brown curly hair that has a blonde gradient. She wears a white short-sleeved mock neck top under short denim overalls with ripped black tights, Dr. Martens-esque black boots, and red socks. She has a few colored buttons and a button in the shape of a skull pinned to her overalls.

If they choose to beat Satan and escape Hell, Lola is seen after the timeskip wearing a yellow shirt with a white collar under a dark red jacket and black, high-waisted pants.

Background[]

Lola's father had a past marriage with three daughters (Sarah, Nina, and Dinah) whom he left behind to raise Lola with his (now ex) wife, Lola's mother. When she was a baby, Lola's grandfather said her hair looked like a cartoon, earning her the nickname "Doodle" among her sisters.

Lola was never a religious person; though her mother made her go to church until she was twelve, she would often just "[sit] there and read Mad Magazine" until the service was over. This caused tension between her and her sisters; during Christmas, she would spark debate over evolution and stare at the table as her family said grace before dinner.

Lola and Milo have been friends since at least pre-school, where they were paired up due to being the last ones left in a buddy system.[2] They attended Jefferson Junior High together, where Lola once spearheaded an incident which would end in getting half the school detention, being assigned hall monitor duties for a month, and causing someone named Jack Smogor to break his leg while "[wanting] to get to lunch on time."[3] According to Wormhorn, Lola once discovered that a student named Cynthia Lackey had cheated on her Algebra test and told a teacher on her, and was also afraid of "talking to taller boys." While in tenth grade, Lola's dog was run over by her neighbor, causing her to have to wash her jeans after the incident; she kept the jeans in her closet, lying on top of the "wish chest [she] prayed on to shrink two inches."

While at college, Lola switched majors often and considered going to law school at one point; her application essay was entitled "What's the Point of Majors When the World's Burning".[4] Lola also frequently involved herself in homeless shelters, animal shelters, donating money to organizations, and soup kitchens. She once participated in a protest to get lunch workers equal pay; however, it was later discovered that they were putting bleach in rich students' coffee, causing them to be fired and replaced by robots. She also petitioned to have an ex-con hired as a counselor, who would later burn down the Dean's house. Though she didn't dislike college, she also states that she won't miss it, partially because she'll "never have another hot flash cause someone's in [her] seat".

While driving with Milo, Lola was involved in a car accident at the stoplight at Oak Grove due to another driver running a red light. She died on impact, while Milo died three hours later.[5] According to her tombstone in promotional material, Lola was born in November 19XX and died in August 20XX. Depending on who they chose on the invitation mission, Satan can either say that Milo and Lola were sent to Hell for deceit ("With one denying truth, there goes to Hell; that one having done says 'I did not'.")[6] or commerce ("Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.").[7]

Plot[]

[TBC]

Relationships[]

  • Milo - Milo and Lola have been friends their entire lives and are very close as a result, often teasing and poking fun towards each other. Lola and Milo have a pact to always drink the same amount of alcohol so they "can't lie to each other about how drunk [they're] getting". [TBC]
  • Allison - Lola dislikes Allison, calling her an idiot and predicting that she'll be "drinking pina coladas out of some cruise boat magician's navel" over the summer.
  • Dinah, Nina, and Sarah - Lola's half-sisters looked down on her for her lack of interest in social situations and devotion of her time to altruistic causes. Though Lola denies it, Wormhorn states via puppets of the sisters that, while she considers their nickname for her a "distancing and alienating moniker," Lola likes it as a form of acknowledgement from the "original family." Despite viewing them as ignorant and mean, Lola loved her sisters despite their rough relationship, stating: "They’re my family, and... you gotta care about 'em. Cause there's nobody else to."
  • Wormhorn - [TBC]

Quotes[]

Milo: "Hey, I have said that we should go to parties more, since they can be, by definition, fun."
Lola: "Frat parties aren't like how they are in the movies. They have two settings: boring or traumatic. So let's just be thankful it's this."
— Milo and Lola (if Milo chose "Yeah, this is fun." earlier and says "Parties can be fun!")
"College was a nonstop, inescapable popularity contest where the winners rule over an imaginary world. You think anyone in society is gonna care what they called you in college? What's gonna be etched onto your metallic space crypt will be what you did in the actual real world... And the real world starts right fucking now!"
— Lola to Milo at the mixer (if Milo says something after she's spoken to the Intellectual Couple/Movie Guys)
"Hey, uh, guys, having--having a problem over here? 'Cause maybe we can exacerbate the issue into a real disturbance--I mean, uh, help with whatever your thing is."
— Lola to Danny and the doll demon (determinant)
Milo: "So... should we... like... talk about what just--"
Lola: "You know, Milo, I... I just don't want to. Okay? I'm gonna take a mulligan on this one, I just-- I don't wanna think about it, so I'm just not. There are some things that are just beyond... Like--I--I really like chocolate milk. I really like it. And I-- and I donated a lot of my time to homeless shelters and animal shelters and money to organizations and-- and so fuck it, okay, I'm gonna enjoy chocolate milk without any-- pontificating about how the cows are sad and the workers are sad and the truckers that ship it are sad-- and how the agricultural industry is fucked up in countless ways and--and--so--I... I'm just--I... I am chocolate milking this."
— Milo and Lola after obtaining Fela's invite. (determinant)
"How are we gonna do this?! You know, you hear you got to outdrink Satan a bunch of times and it sort of just becomes something you think you can do-- Like when people say, "Just cut out sugar, you'll get fit fast." And I'm like, "Yeah, that's easy. Fuckin' cave men didn't eat sugar, right?"
— Lola to Milo after meeting Satan for the first time.
"Oh... whoa. That shot's wearing off... I feel like I just walked off the plane from Cancun and realize I live in Cleveland."
— Lola if Milo told her to take the shot from Asmodeus.
