Daily Discussions

A penny for your thoughts?

You know, Player, I've been thinking about exploring lately. Which do you prefer: leisurely exploration or action-filled adventure? →  Leisurely exploration. Nice. I love exploring. Ariel does too. It's so exciting to find new things. New places! And when we do it together, we notice so much more. →  Action-filled adventure. Hey, there's nothing like grand adventures on the high seas! Diving into the unknown is dangerous sometimes... But that just makes it more exciting! →  Staying home. Ha! You're right. That's another important option. And some people do prefer it. Even I get tired of exploring sometimes. It's important to be able to rest and recover.

Any deep thoughts to share with me today?

Hey, Player. I had a thought — you know forks? →  Like, the cutlery? Yes. Forks, as in cutlery. →  Yes. I am aware of forks. Sorry, that was a silly question. Of course you're aware of forks. →  You mean "dinglehoppers"? Ha! Yes. Exactly. I was just thinking... They have a kind of boring name, don't they? "Fork." Ariel calls them "dinglehoppers." That's way more fun. Do you think we should change the name? →  Sounds kind of confusing. I guess you're right. But I still think "dinglehopper" is a great name. →  I think you're very in love with Ariel. Ha. Yeah, I am. Maybe changing the name isn't the best idea. I just love how excited she gets about dinglehoppers.

Any questions for me?

Settle a question for me, Player. I love sailing big ships. Galleons, with a crew and three masts. But Moana says there's nothing like skimming the waves in a small canoe. Which do you prefer? A big ship or a small canoe? →  Big ships. That's how I feel. I like a solid deck under my feet. And bigger ships means you can haul more, and carry more people. But maybe I'm just more comfortable with large ships because they're what I'm used to. →  Small canoes. Yeah? Well, they are useful. I can't deny that. Light and fast. Moana offered to teach me how to sail one. Maybe I should take her up on it. →  It depends. I guess you're right. Different kinds of boats work for different things. My kingdom needs large ships to carry trade cargo. But Moana's canoe is perfect for navigating between smaller islands. We're lucky we have both options.

Do you like living here?

I love Dazzle Beach. The salty sea air. The wind blowing in your face! There's nothing like it. →   I love the ocean. You do? We're pretty similar then. What's your favorite thing about the sea? →  The waves. I understand that. I love crashing over the waves, as long as they aren't crashing over the ship! →  The salty air. Yes! There's something about the air near the ocean. It smells so fresh and alive. →  The mermaids! Not everyone believes in them, but you and I know they're real. And one of them, at least, is pretty amazing. →  I get seasick. Oh, I'm sorry about that. I don't get seasick myself, but I have a friend who does. I know it's pretty unpleasant. Well, I hope you can enjoy the ocean from the shore.

Do you want to talk about anything?

There's this old riddle we used to ask new sailors on our ship. Would you like to hear it? →   Yes. Okay, here you go: What do you throw out to use and take back to stop? →  Trash. Huh? That's an interesting answer. It's not the one the old sea dogs taught me, though. →  An anchor. Yes! That's the answer. Pretty clever, huh? →  A net. Huh? That's an interesting answer. It's not the one the old sea dogs taught me, though. →  No. Guess you're not a riddle sort of person. That's okay.

Got a question for me?

Player, have you ever seen a dolphin? →  I have! Hey, that's good luck for you! →  I haven't. Oh, I hope you do someday. They're amazing. And good luck! There's an old sailors' legend that seeing a dolphin means good fortune for a journey. →  Are there a lot of dolphins around the Valley? A few. Sometimes I see them while I'm fishing. →  I didn't know that. Well, all the crews I've sailed with believe it. I like to think it's true. →  I love dolphins! I do too. Seeing them is always really impressive.

What are you up to?

Player, I really want to do something nice for Ariel. So I thought I should take her on a picnic. Just the two of us. Where do you think we should go? →  Dazzle Beach! That's a great idea! A blanket, some nice food... Watching the waves and the horizon. →  The Forest of Valor! Yeah, that'd be nice. I can lay down a blanket beside the river and she can swim up alongside me. →  The Frosted Heights! That's a little cold for us, but I bet Ariel would like to explore up there. It would be an adventure. Well, the location's decided. What should I bring along to enjoy with our main course? →  Fruit. Sounds good! I'll gather some different fruit and maybe visit Goofy's Stall. Ariel will love it. She gets almost as excited about surface food as she does about human objects. →  Freshly baked bread. Yeah! Merfolk can't exactly mill flour underwater. So I bet Ariel hasn't tried many different kinds of bread. I'll ask Remy if he has any good ideas. →  Chocolate chip cookies. Great idea. We definitely have to have a dessert. I'll ask Remy if he has any good ideas.

What's on your mind?

Hey, Player, I really love the fishing expeditions I've taken. I get to explore all the waters around the Valley. I haven't found many other islands yet, but I've seen a lot of reefs and strange fish. →  What do you need to go exploring? Just a ship and a fair wind. A map can be handy, but sometimes it's more fun to chart your own way. →  Is there anything special out there? Well, I won't know unless I look! That's part of what makes it exciting. Not knowing what I'll find. →  Is it safe? Well, I can't be completely sure. And that's part of the fun! Adventure is never guaranteed to be safe. Ships are safe in the harbor, but that's not what ships are built for. They're meant to sail out and explore.

Observed Conversations

General

With The Beast

What are your thoughts on dancing? Oh, I love to dance. Especially with Ariel. And when our work's done, I play my flute and dance with my fellow sailors. Even my dog joins us. You do? I would only feel comfortable dancing with Belle. I could never dance in front of so many people... Aw, I bet you could. You just need a little practice!

With Buzz

So you have a ship. But it's a ship...for water? Yes. It doesn't fly through space. Not even in a converted state? I'm afraid not. ... Understood. But I must say, I'm a bit disappointed.

With Moana

Eric, is it true that you used to sail on a really large boat? I did. We had a pretty big crew and sailed to a bunch of different kingdoms. So you're a voyager, too! What happened to your boat? It was wrecked during a storm. I've been caught in a storm on the ocean too! It can be scary. And I'm sorry about your boat. Aw, it's okay. It was scary, but no one was hurt. And if it hadn't sunk, I might've never met Ariel.

Quests

With Ariel ( Poor Unfortunate Prince)

Ariel! It's me! I'm finally human again! Oh Eric! That makes me so happy! I wanted to tell you... I'm sorry about the deal with Ursula. I just wanted to protect you and... It's all right. I made a deal with her once too, remember? Never again then? Never again. We're together now and that's all that matters.
