This page is (probably) the first time we see two NPCs talk to each other with no PC around. We’ve been avoiding that from the beginning, to maintain the sensation that everything happening in-game is “actually” being described around the gaming table; this means it’s all part of the game. But it’s very rare for a GM to be detailed when they describe what’s happening off screen, like here. I only do so in the rare “Meanwhile…” moment, and two extras just exchanging some banter isn’t worthy of a “meanwhile” moment. (Also I wouldn’t trust myself to be able to improv banter on the spot)
But it’s funnier this way, so, let’s just assume the players are playing their assigned extras. That’s how I would have handled it as a GM anyway.
I would have also made all of these extras into Wild Cards, frankly, because they’re all important enough by now, but I can’t help it, it’s simply funnier to keep Natasha frustrated.
