You step out of the room as requested and leave the annoying reporter alone. With the door shut, you feel reasonably relaxed to start talking again.
“Ma’am, can my reward be a request that you dump a full pot of super hot coffee on him someday and record it, then upload the video to Youtube?” You deadpan. Kangaroo Man chuckles at your suggestion.
“I’d be my pleasure.” Ms. Bombshell’s smile is genuine this time. “I can’t wait to get fired.”
“...Thank you for having us.” Kangaroo Man says.
“I told you it was rather simple to get him to approve this, didn’t I?” Ms. Bombshell wiggles the files in her hands.
“She made the meeting happen, convinced him our information was legitimate, she’s on our side.” Kangaroo Man explains to you. “We became acquaintances during my last visit when my friend was interviewed here. She’s very kind.”
“And I’m <span class="mu-i">not</span> anyone’s assistant, I’m a news reporter myself, just working under his wing, even if it’s against my wishes.” Ms. Bombshell wanted you to know. Like, desperately so. “You’d know if you watch this channel, but I’m sure you don’t and I can’t blame you.” Well, your dad might watch it...
“Oooh.” You fake interest. “And you’re clarifying this to me because…?” You turn to the Marsupial.
“I don’t know the guy personally and never will.” Kangaroo Man really wants you to know that, as desperately as Ms. Bombshell.
“I guess none of you want to be associated with him?” You raise an eyebrow, a little confused.
“<span class="mu-s">Correct.</span>” The two of them say in unison. You don’t know their names, why do they care? What a strange pairing… If Ms. Bombshell had the appearance of another Zoo animal, this wouldn’t be that weird to you.
“Can I bring a friend to the tour?” Now that you’re thinking about animals, why not bring Vera?
“But of course!” Ms. Bombshell nods.
“Do we want the tour?” Kangaroo Man isn’t sure why this is a thing.
“If you want to leave empty-handed, be my guest. But if you stay, you’ll have free access to catering.” Ms. Bombshell wants to convince Kangaroo Man to take it.
“W-Why are you insisting, Ms. Nguyen?” Kangaroo Man doesn’t understand.
“Oh? Me? I’m merely being nice and agreeable! Just like everyone in this station likes me to be!” Ms. Bombshell giggles. “I’m going to refer you to one of our tour guides, and hand you some free passes. Follow me!”
You two wait at the reception for everything Ms. Bombshell Nguyen promised. You’re asked how many Tour Passes do you need.
<span class="mu-s">How do you respond?</span>
>You want one for Vera!
>You want two, one for Vera, and another for Mama Bodil!
>You want as many as you need to invite the entire Family! You’ll celebrate with catering!
>Write In.
