[ This, more than anything else so far (even the hot dog offer!), is what cements Otto in her mind as a Good Guy. Nobody but a bona-fide Science Dork would give their robo-tentacles rhyming names. Her universe's Otto probably would have just numbered them, or called them... TentacleTron #1-4 or something. Nothing she'd heard about the guy indicated a sense of humour.
Anyway, this is incredible. Doreen's gonna learn how to knit, and then knit each of the tentacles a different-coloured scarf for Christmas. ]
Ok, ok, this is the best thing I've heard all day! If there were only three of them, one would have to be named Curly, right? Oh! Hang on, just a sec, if we're doing introductions...
[ Doreen tugs at the collar of her jacket and makes a few chirpy noises under her breath, until a grey squirrel wearing a pink bow pokes her head out to give Otto a baleful look. ]
Otto, this is Tippy-toe. She's hiding out in my jacket because frankly it's still pretty nasty out here, [ Doreen punches out another ghost midsentence, as if to emphasize the point ] but she's my partner and best pal!
