Since food isn’t doing the trick, you believe that chatting to other people will help ease Vera’s nerves. You approach Kangaroo Man and Ms. Bombshell! Vera must be dying to meet them since she was unconscious for a large portion of the adventure.
“Vera, this is Kangaroo Man.” You present them to each other.
“I know him already.” Vera frowns. “Would it kill you to ask what his name is?”
“I’m starting to believe that’s the case.” Kangaroo Man deadpans. You’ll ignore them because you aren’t done with the introductions.
“...And this is Ms. Bombshell Nguyen. She’s cool.” You point at the news reporter.
“Did you just call her a <span class="mu-i">Bombshell</span>?” Vera doesn’t like what she hears.
“D’aww, you actually think that’s my name? I’m glad you’re so charmingly naive instead of chauvinistic.” Ms. Bombshell looks at you like you’re the cutest puppy in the world. “That’s a pesky nickname my boss gave me. Please, just call me by my name.”
“Do it. Ask her. Ask her name. <span class="mu-s">Now.</span>” Kangaroo Man wants to see you do it.
“Ms. Nguyen, if you would be so kind, I’d like to know what your first name is, please.” You adjust your glasses as you’re clearly not taking this seriously.
“Gladly, I am Stacy, glad to make your acquaintance.” Ms. Bombshell Stacy Nguyen giggles in full satisfaction.
“What’s your name, Roo?” Vera feels like there’s no other way to know if she doesn’t ask herself.
“...Rodney.” Kangaroo Man sighs.
“<span class="mu-i">Rodney the Roo</span>? Are you kidding me?” Vera didn’t like the man’s name.
“My sources confirm that is *partially* his name.” Like a good reporter, Stacy backs this claim.
“Vera. Johnny.” Kangaroo Man doesn’t even try to make the introductions any decent.
“More like Rodney the Rude, am I right, everyone?” You throw your best pun so far.
“That’s the high brow humor we were all expecting.” Stacy smiles.
“Hey, Vera is laughing.” You point and shame.
“S-Shut up, I wasn’t expecting something so lame…!” Vera looks away in shame.
<span class="mu-s">Anything to say?</span>
