(The outsider sits down.)
“Comfortable? I’ll get you some refreshments.”
(Barbara opens the fridge and puts several items from it on the counter: A pile of boxes of teabags, a cylinder of hot chocolate, a bottle of sickly-yellow soda, and a sugar bowl.)
“All set! What would you like?”
(The outsider moves to get up. Barbara quickly sits them back down into the chair.)
“WAIT! …Y-You’re supposed to sit down and enjoy yourself! …Uh, why don’t you point at what you want?”
(Barbara’s grimacing at what she just said; apparently, she realized how silly she sounds right now.)
(You can select Barbara. She’ll react as follows.)
1st time: (confused) …Wait…are you flirting with me?
2nd time: Uh, sorry kid, but I’ve already got eyes for someone. NOT TELLING WHO.
3rd time: …Alright, it was cute the first two times, but now it’s getting annoying. Cut it out.
Subsequent times: (gives you an annoyed look)
(You can also select a shovel leaning against a wall.)
“Uh, no, that’s not for kids to handle. That’s a weapon. …What? It is!”
(You can also select the fridge.)
“You want the entire fridge!? No!”
(If you select the sugar bowl…)
1st: That sugar’s for the tea. I’m not gonna give you a cup of sugar! I’m not the ice-cream lady!
2nd: A cup of sugar… That’s a good way to get ants.
(If you select the soda…)
1st: Oh, soda? Actually, even though you pointed to it, you don’t look happy about it. Heh, that’s fine. I think soda’s gross too! It rots your teeth, your mind, your muscles, your fighting spirit, EVERYTHING. …Huh? Why do I have it? (looks awkwardly to the side) Um…
2nd: Don’t ask me why I have that…
(If you select the hot chocolate…)
1st: Oh, you want some hot chocolate? Wait, wait, I just remembered: That container’s empty. I stopped getting it because it was always a hassle. The Grand Minimus kept getting marshmallows stuck to his nose! (snickers)
2nd: That container’s empty. Sorry.
(If you choose the tea, the blatantly correct answer…)
“…Tea, huh? Coming right up!”
(Near-silence follows as Barbara prepares the tea, filling the teapot with water, dunking the tea in, and placing the teapot on the stove.)
“It’ll take a moment for the water to boil.”
(After a few silent seconds, the teapot whistles.)
(Soon, she places a piping cup of tea with sugar in front of the outsider.)
(She sits at the table, across from the outsider.)
“It’s not THAT hot! G'wan, drink it!”
(The outsider sips the tea. It’s burning, but other than that, it’s pretty good.)
“It’s pretty good, right? Nothing but the best for my ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS FRIEND!”
“Hey… You know, it’s kind of strange you chose THAT tea. Violet tea… That’s the Grand Minimus’s favorite kind. Actually, now that I think about it…you kind of remind me of him. You’re both total wimps, haha! …Sort of.”
(To Be Continued…once I figure out how to write Barbara’s connection with the Grand Minimus beyond the fact that they went on adventures with Rayman, Globox, and the rest in Legends and Adventures.)
