[There's a few beats as the man just stands there, trying to relax. It doesn't take as long as he's used to after being surprised like that. Like his heart isn't working right. That's...concerning. But it's not like he knows what to do about it, so Gary ignores it for now.]
Yeah, right. The life-sized masquerade action figures with too many articulation points? [He raps one of them on the shoulder with his knuckles.] Ditto. You're...the only other probably alive person I've seen in here, actually. What's your name?
