[ At first, she gawks.

And then she thinks. Because he does have street performer vibes, but also, she doesn't think a street performer would be taking their craft this seriously...? (The memorized-sounding personal ad coming from his mouth, yes, but not the apparent[??] offence from before.)

And then she's considering. ]

Soooo... what's your success rate?

[ Okay, this is what Rom is, but is he any GOOD. The real question. ]

[phenomerom]

That's an excellent question!

[ Said with a dramatic snap of the fingers. (It is not an excellent question. He gets it all the time from smart-aleck Youtube commenters who think they're being so clever with it.) ]

Consider, Miss Poppy -- the horror stories you've heard of hauntings and ghostly possessions. [ Said while doing wiggly fingers as he idly strides around Poppy towards a nearby table laden with occult items. The perfect backdrop for when he picks up a creepy-looking book and looks back to her. ] Gruesome, aren't they? Those are the sorts of matters I need to deal with on a daily basis, traveling to locations associated with the most terrifying legends and blood-curdling stories. And yet, I'm still here, alive and in one piece. Isn't that a testament to my efficacy?

[ Of course it is an excellent question. She has Youtube commenter cadence, and they raise good points, unless it's against her.

She does stare at his wiggly fingers though, a what the fuck is happening right now look on her face, but doesn't interrupt his spiel. She's doing great in the trying to take him seriously department. ]

That's assuming your whole bit is real, which considering some of the freakazoids here I concede might be the case, so... okay, yeah. That is a good point. [ Nodding. He has lowkey were you not loved enough as a child vibes but it's okay, who doesn't? Anyway. ] Okay, so you've survived the horrors you keep putting yourself in...

[ Bizarre thing to do, buddy. (Also kind of badass, respect entering her tone.) ]

... So... there anything good in here? The kind of thing that helps keep you alive and in one piece?

[ If they're here, and everything he's saying is true, might as well try to get a little more something out of it? (Or at the very least find something that could pass off as cool.) ]
