Old Wayfarer

Old Wayfarer
Hey, now! You can tell me! There are no secrets between men of adventure! You came to this distant island in search of the elusive beast... The mystical creature that bewitches sailors from the waters of this island... You came in search of the mythical mermaid, right? Huh?No
Old Wayfarer
What?! Wayfarers must always be looking for adventure! In my search for the mystical creature, the mermaid... I sacrificed many of life's pleasures...friends, family, good snacks... I gave it all up to search for the mermaid. Take this pool, for example!
Old Wayfarer
That is where the majestic creature will lounge once I capture her! This pool cost a hefty fortune...for a man who follows his wayfaring heart. You are young. With age, I have learned to approach life's quests with passion!
Old Wayfarer
So, young man, if you see a mermaid, you'll tell me right away, won't you? We men of adventure must stick together!
Old Wayfarer
The mermaid, she is a sly, elusive creature. She will not show herself if monsters lurk nearby. If you see one, you must get her attention! Show off your wayfaring heart!
Old Wayfarer
Ah! Young man! Have you found her, the mermaid? YesNot yet

Joanne
...OWWWWWW! HEY! What are you DOING?!
Joanne
What's your problem? So I like getting dressed up like a mythical creature! I'm a human being, treat me like one! I'm not some freak you can throw stuff at! Don't just stand there staring at me! Apologize! Sorry?I'm sorry!
Joanne
Hmmmpf... OK, as long as you understand now that you can't go doing that. Maybe I'm wearing my mergirl costume, but I'm still me. And isn't this swimsuit cute?! I made it myself! Uh...Hrm...
Joanne
No way! You're saying there's an old wayfarer who thinks I'm a real mermaid?! Wow...well, that's not my problem, you know! Er...well... I mean... Between us... I've always thought that wayfaring tales were neat... In a high-seas adventure kind of way. Maybe we're fated to meet... I'm gonna go to that old man's hut and visit him! I hope he raves on and on about the romance of the sea. Thank you!
Joanne
Oh, it's you! I found this old wayfarer, all thanks to you!
Joanne
He's great, always raving about the romance of the sea and call of adventure! I'm going to pretend to be a mermaid for a bit and let him think I'm the real thing! Shhhh! It's our little secret...

Old Wayfarer
Haha! I finally met the mermaid of my dreams! Never would I have dreamed the mermaid would come to ME! You had a hand in this, young man, and so I want to give you this!
Old Wayfarer
I had that fishing rod made so that I could hook the mythical mermaid, but... I obviously don't need it anymore...so you can have it!
