"I," he says dramatically, placing one hand to his chest and reaching the other to the sky, "Am the wicked, villainous, utterly maniacal Doctor Edgar Slopnik, Master of the frozen mountains of Pinkwell! And I will feed your family dinner tonight!"
'Nice title. Escape from theater?'
"Nah, grew up pretty far from here. I've never really needed to escape from anywhere. Really, no one stops me from doing what I want most days, and I take advantage of that." He chuckles, then frowns. "What theater? Where?"
'Big theater up there? And there's small group actors, play at maintenance room for a couple coin'

"Were you being metaphorical, or do they, you know, capture people?" The kid can hear a faint lilt of cautious anger in his voice. It's not directed toward them, but it's like the doctor is ready to unleash a tidal wave of rage at a moment's notice.

'Big theater.... I don't know, maybe? Little theater, definitely nope. We safe though, we know how to hide from bad people'
He pats her on the shoulder, looking concerned. "Hey. Don't worry about it. No harm done."
She takes a deep breath and exhales "Very sorry, sometimes I trip over myself when I try and convey things.."
"Stop apologizing. Communication can be difficult. It took me years just to be able to talk about my master plans and inventions without people falling alseep. I employ theatrics for that reason." He takes a step back, giving her her personal space back. "I understand what it's like to deal with someone who doesn't understand. I always try to be better than that, but it takes me a bit sometimes."
Her smile turns softer, grateful in a way "Thank you." She shakes out her hands and turns to the doll "So! You said this this you right here would give incentive to parents to feed their children your meals? How would that work exactly?"

"I'm afraid I don't have that luxury. Too big, too loud. I've learned to shut bad people down. But it seems safe enough around here. If anyone bothers you, I want to hear about it."

"Well, kids want toys, and I'll give these out with kid meals. Kids will ask their parents for the good food that comes with the free toy, and the parents will give it a chance, find out it's cheap as can be hoped for, then they buy the meal." He pulls out two more dolls, identical except for the color. "These are for my first run. I already have what I need to mass produce them, but I'm gonna hold off until I know this will work."

"Ah. Big family. I didn't have one, but I understand how that could be bothersome. My parents barely had time for me even though I was the only kid they had. I can't imagine how bad it must be for a family of five or more."

He raises his eyebrow. "That's... quite a few." He thinks for a moment. "Forgive me for asking, but what are your parents?"

A beastfolk with rodent-like features is looking around the bar
Slopnik strides over. "Ah, activism? How prudent of you! Most these days simply wield violence as a means to an end, only to find that it was their end they were pursuing the whole time." He holds out a hand for a leaflet. "Now, what would your cause be?"
In a branching and likely reconnecting timeling, Slopnik approaches the rodentfolk. "Well, hello there! Are you one of that kid's relatives?"

He tilts his head. "Yeah, I gave him a meal yesterday. He gave me a vague location to deliver the food to, so apologies if we got the wrong place."
