SEE: Do they make clothes like ours, but in like, doll sizes?
MONTY: I’ve seen some outfits in my books, and I want to dress Mint up at some point for sure…but it’s really hard to figure out which rewards I want the most.
MONTY: While I’ve definitely figured out a good system for getting them, it still feels like they make it harder over time…things that would have definitely got an impression before don’t now, and I have to really find something interesting to work with if I want my multiple reward strategy to work.
MONTY: Oh, there are actually a few things I’ve picked up along those lines, though, sort of…
They gesture for you to scoot over, using the extra space when you do to slip their backpack off and rifle through it. After a bit of sifting, they pull out another doll, holding it out to you.
SEE: What’s this?
MONTY: I got a few extra, because…I figured that people who are actually nice here could use some stress relief too.
MONTY: Even if it’s just a little toy to play with…
They look down at the ground, hesitating for a moment.
MONTY: Is that silly?
MONTY: Like, that doesn’t sound stupid or anything? Or naive?
SEE: Nah, like…that’s really cool of you, Monty.
You pick up the doll, the toy much bigger proportionally to you than your large companion.
SEE: I’ll take good care of it.
Monty looks better immediately, their head gently swaying from side to side contentedly.
MONTY: You have to come up with a name for it, to make it yours.
MONTY: That’s something I read in one of my books.
SEE: I have to think on that…but I will.
