In this case, since your server script needs to ask a client for something and get the result back, you should create a RemoteFunction, invoke it from the server, and handle it on the client.

See this section of the RemoteFunction Wiki page for an example on how to call a RemoteFunction from the server and wait for the client (LocalScript) to finish. Also, in your case, you'll want to return a string from the client (eg. at the end of onCreatePopupRequested).
