Daily Discussions

Daily Discussions are conversations that can be had once a day with Villagers in the Valley. One conversation prompt at a time will randomly be offered to select whenever interacting with a Villager. Leaving the interaction and returning may cause a new topic to appear, but not all topics seem to shuffle on any given day, or are available under all circumstances (e.g. some are only available during rain, or after certain quest completions). Only one Daily Discussion can be had with each Villager per day, and the conversation prompt will disappear until the predetermined reset time.

Having a discussion counts towards the rotating Dreamlight Duty "Have a daily discussion.", and the Friendship Dreamlight Achievements "Have Daily Discussions!" (x1, x50, x100, x500, x1000).

The Sword in the Stone

Merlin

Did you hate the Middle Ages?

It's rather pleasant to be living in an era with so many modern conveniences. Magic is useful, but pales before the wonder of indoor plumbing. Tell me, Player, what is your favorite invention? →  Airplanes. Magnificent machines! Ahh, to fly through the sky like a bird without all those itchy feathers. →  I agree with you... indoor plumbing. It's a crowd pleaser, that is certain. →  Cell phones. Yes, those little connected boxes. They do seem more useful than pigeons... And unlike owls, they rarely talk back.

Do you have a question?

Player, do you know the distinction between Dark and Light Magic? →  I do. So, you already understand the nature of magic? Very good. →  I don't. It's a simple difference, really. Light Magic is performed for others. Dark Magic is performed for yourself. Dark Magic is not necessarily evil, but is more easily turned to evil. Now tell me: Which calls to you? Light Magic or Dark Magic? →  Light Magic. Light Magic. An altruistic choice. And one that will serve you well in your quest to restore the Valley. →  Dark Magic. Dark Magic can be powerful and compelling, but must be managed carefully. →  Both. A wise answer. Balance is difficult, but important.

Do you have time to talk?

I can tell by the look on your face that you have a question for me, Player. Well, what is it? →  Why do you wear a blue robe and pointy hat? Why, it's what I've always worn since I was a young lad. And I do suppose it helps people understand that I'm a wizard. Part of being a wizard is managing people's expectations, you know. That may even be the most important part. →  How do you do magic? There's no simple answer to that. But I can say that it takes years of study. One must understand the nature of...well, nature! And how to influence it. That is the secret to true power...knowledge. →  How old are you? As old as my tongue and just a bit older than my teeth.

• Got any advice? [Added 1.3]

Have you ever time-traveled?

I have traveled extensively through time, Player. I've visited the past, and I remember a great deal of the future. →  That sounds confusing. Well, it gives me a unique perspective. And makes me an extremely valuable advisor. →  That sounds useful. Well, it gives me a unique perspective. And makes me an extremely valuable advisor. →  Can I learn to time travel? Player, I do not believe in impossibility. So I will say merely that it is improbable.

Let's do something fun!

Player... Now, I know you're not a wizard, but have you ever heard of a Wizards' Duel? →  Yes. Then you know how it works. My last bout with Madam Mim... well, it... it was a bit of a grudge match, you might say. We needn't be so brutal. →  No. Well, it's a classic battle of wits, where each player takes turns changing into different things. The goal is to defeat the other player's form! Since you can't change forms, we'll just say the names of what we WOULD change into. And let's stick to animals, shall we? Here, I'll start... I choose the form of a tortoise! →  Raccoon. A reasonable choice... A raccoon might be able to prey on a young tortoise. But I assure you I am an old, venerable tortoise and quite immune to your raccoon attacks. I win this duel. →  Rabbit. A rabbit? Do you intend to challenge tortoise-me to a race? Well, I know a fable that will tell you how that goes. Heh-heh. I win. →   Elephant player Elephant. Seems a bit extreme, but I suppose in a contest of brawn an elephant would win against a tortoise. Then I shall become a mouse and terrify your elephant. →   Cat. player Cat. Yes, that is a classic response. Cat catches mouse. Then I will make the classic response in turn and transform into a dog. →  Wolf. Hmph. Wolf and dog. One is a descendant of the other, so the forms are quite close. I shall declare this contest a draw. →  Human. Very clever! Humans are indeed animals. And they've domesticated almost every dog on the planet! An astute response. I concede the game to you, Player. You win! →  Dragon. Ah! No creatures of legend! That is against the rules... I did tell you that part, didn't I? Well either way, there is no rule-bound response to dragon, so our little contest is over. →  Dog. Hmph! Any mouse worth his salt can evade a dog. No, I think I've won this one. →  Robot. A robot is not an animal. I win by default!

• Something wrong? [Added 1.3]

Something wrong? [Added 1.3]

Now, I must say, something is perplexing me, Player. Clearly, not all the laws of physics apply here in Dreamlight Valley. From the way you're able to cross between worlds, it appears space and time here are merely strong suggestions... not ironclad laws. Yet other things remain immutable. Take gravity, for instance. What goes up still invariably comes down! →  I wish it didn't. I'd love to fly. TODOResponseToAnswerI'dLoveToFly →  It's weird. Maybe we should run some tests. TODOResponseToAnswerRunSomeTests →  Maybe the laws of physics only work if we believe they do. A fascinating idea! Perhaps if we could get all the Villagers to try NOT to follow the law of gravity anymore, it would disappear! No, no, no. That's preposterous. How would that even be possible? Never mind me. In any case, it seems that we are bound together by something much greater than gravity. I've a theory that it's friendship, but I'm still investigating.

• Something you wanted to ask? [Added 1.3]

Time for another philosophical question!

Have you ever considered being a squirrel? →  Sounds fun! Well, I suppose the leaping about can be a bit fun at first, but a squirrel's life is hazardous. Downright dangerous, even! →  Sounds dangerous. Indeed it is! The squirrel is a tiny creature with enormous problems! How it's survive throughout the ages is one of nature's big mysteries. →  Can you do that? I could. Though I won't; not now. We have other things to do. But I still encourage you to CONSIDER being a squirrel. Think about it... The squirrel's life is hazardous. Downright dangerous! Almost all the world is larger than the creature, and a good portion wants to eat it! Now, what do you think we can learn from a squirrel? →  Empathy for the vulnerable. Yes, yes. That is a noble lesson to learn. What a promising thought. →  How to survive. A practical and important lesson indeed. When life is hard, we must find ways to carry on. →  Walnuts are good. I suppose that's technically true, but not really what I was driving at.

• What's on your mind? [Added 1.3]

• What are you doing today? [Added 1.3]

You had a question?

Tell me, Player... what do you think is the most important quality for being a good leader? →  Pulling a sword from a stone. Heh-heh. Yes, I see you know how to play to your audience. But Arthur could never have done that if he didn't inherently have the quality of compassion! →  Taking care of people. Yes! That is the very essence of leadership! Caring for the people that you lead. →   Being awesome. Awesome? Hmph. But for what purpose are you being "awesome"? →  To do good. Yes! That is the very essence of leadership! Having a true purpose to care for the people that you lead. →  To feel awesome. You, my friend, have a lot to learn.

WALL-E

WALL-E

Do you have a question?

Yoo-hoo! Uhh... player What is it, WALL-E? You have a question? player Hmm. He's pointing at... →   Me. player Do you want to know more about me, WALL-E? whistles* player What should I tell you... →  I'm a human! You've met humans before. whistles* Wow! →  I'm in charge of the Valley. Whoa! →  I like long walks on the beach. Whoa! →   My hands. player Those are my hands, WALL-E. Hmmm... player Yeah, they're not like yours. →  Mine aren't made of metal. Whoa! →  Look how many fingers I have! Whoa! →  These little things are called fingernails. Whoa! →   My clothes. player These are my clothes, WALL-E. Huh? player How do I explain clothes...? →  They protect my body. Whoa! →  They keep me warm. Whoa! →  They're super stylish. Whoa!

• Feeling bored? [Added 1.3]

Feeling bored?

Dir-ect-tive? player You're looking for something to do? Ee-ah. player Oh? Are you bored? Can you even get bored? sigh* player Hm... maybe you could... →  ...do some gardening. TODOResponseToGardening →  ...mine some rocks. TODOResponseToMining →   ...sit back and relax. Huh? player Oh... uh... you know. Relax. Like... →  ...listen to music. TODOResponseToListenToMusic →  ...read a book. TODOResponseToReadABook →   ...go for a walk. Huh? player Oh. I guess you don't "walk." Uh, go for a "roll"? WALL-E!

Got something to show me?

Oh! Oh! player WALL-E's showing me something. It's a... →   Sandwich. player That's a sandwich, WALL-E. Where did you find that?! Uhh... player A sandwich is... →  A kind of food. Like what Remy makes. Ooh! →  Not really relevant to you. Ooh! →   Delicious! Is this pastrami? Huh...? player Right... you wouldn't know what pastrami is. Don't worry about it. →   Light Bulb. player That's a light bulb, WALL-E. Did you unscrew that from somewhere...? whistles* player A light bulb is... →  A little round thing that gives off light. Ooh! →  Something that uses power. Like you! Ooh! →  Delicate. Be careful with it! Ooh! →   Leaf. player That's a leaf, WALL-E. A very nice leaf. Huh? player Well, a leaf is... →  Very common in the forest. Ooh! →  A tiny part of a tree. Ooh! →  Like a tree's hair. Only it all falls out once a year. Ooh!

How are you?

WALL-E! →   I don't know what you're saying! WALL-E! WALL-E! WALL-E! →  What other words do you know? Uhh... EVE-ah! Directive! →  What means "yes"? whistles* →  How do you say "no"? No. player We'll continue this another time... →  But it's a start. Whoopee! →  I'll never understand you. Aww... →   I'm gonna guess what you're saying! whistles* →  You want to be best friends! Whoopee! →  You want to go swimming! ... →  It was Belle in the library with a candlestick! Huh?! [Response to previous question] →  I got it! Whoopee! →  This could use more work at another time. Aww... →   I understand completely. Whoa! →  I agree! Whoopee! →  Sorry, but you're wrong. Aww...

• How's it going? [Added 1.3]

How's it going?

Whoopee! →  I love seeing you so happy! TODOResponseToLoveSeeingYouSoHappy →  Whoa! Calm down. TODOResponseToCalmDown →   What's got you so excited? Oh. Oh. Oh! player Hm, you're gesturing towards some crops... player Oh! Did you try to harvest them and got a lot more than usual? Ta-da! player Yeah, that happens sometimes. I think it all just depends on luck.

Is everything okay?

Aww... player WALL-E looks a little sad today. I should try to cheer him up. player Hey! Hey, WALL-E! Huh? →   You're adorable! player You're adorable! Awww! player He's looking a little happier. What else can I say? →  Your work is important! Oh... Whoopee! →  You're very lovable! Oh... Whoopee! →  Your collections are awesome! Oh... Whoopee! player I think I cheered him up! →  You're doing a great job! [no answer, dialogue closes] →  You're great at compacting trash! [no answer, dialogue closes]

Is there something you need?

Yoo-hoo! Uhh... player What is it, WALL-E? You have a question? player Hmm. He's pointing at a... →   Bird. player That's a bird, WALL-E. Huh?! player Well, a bird is... →  A small animal that flies. Ooh! →  A pretty tuft of feathers. Ooh! →  Like a tiny dinosaur. Ooh! →   Squirrel. player That's a squirrel, WALL-E. Huh?! player Well, a squirrel is... →  A small mammal that climbs trees. Ooh! →  A cute critter that eats nuts. Ooh! →  Like Remy but with a bushy tail and less cooking experience. Ooh! →   Tree. player That's a tree, WALL-E. Huh?! player Well, a tree is... →  A big plant that's been growing for a long time. Ooh! →  A telephone pole, but you don't have to build it. Ooh! →  Where wooden things come from. Ooh!

Let's try to speak again!

WALL-E. player Let's try one WALL-E for yes and two WALL-E's for no. →   Do you like the Village? player Do you like the Village? WALL-E! player One WALL-E means "YES"! So, do you prefer... →   Fishing? player Fishing? WALL-E, WALL-E! →   Gardening? player Gardening? WALL-E! →   Meeting new people? player Meeting new people? Oh... WALL-E? →   Do you miss your world? player Do you miss your world? EVE-ah... player Is EVE... →   Your friend? player Your friend?

What's up? [Added 1.3?]

Da de da do de-da dah doo-day! →  Ba dum dum dum! Da de da do de-da dah doo-day! →   Nice moves, WALL-E! Oh! Bzzzzz-bzzzzz-bzzzzz. player Oh no! I made him bashful all of a sudden. It's okay, WALL-E. I was just excited; I wasn't yelling at you. Whew! ... Da de da do de-da dah doo-day!

You want to tell me something?

Yoo-hoo! WALL-E! player What's that, WALL-E? Oh, it's a toaster. Huh? ... Ooh! Ooh! player Yeah, those are the dials. You turn them to set how toasted you want your toast. player Wait. You probably don't know what toast is. Toast is bread that you cook and then eat. Uhh... player Bread is human food. It gives us energy. →   Like you get energy from the sun! player Ooh! Ta-da! →  It's great with jam or peanut butter. Whoa! →  It's an essential part of any good sandwich. Whoa!

Moana

Maui

Do you have a question?

Player, I need to ask you something VERY important. It's to settle a little disagreement with Moana. If you had to name one thing you like MOST about me, what would it be? →  Your tattoos. Great answer. My tattoos are kind of a chronicle of all my feats. They show up when I earn them. →  Your heroics. They don't call me "hero to all" for nothing! And I've got the tattoos to prove it. →  Your humbleness. Huh... Now that you mention it, I am INCREDIBLY humble for a demigod. I mean, NO ONE'S more humble than I am. Thanks, Player!

How are you today?

I can tell what you're thinking. How does he have such great hair? It's kind of my thing. →   That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. See! And to answer your obvious next question... Yes, I DO wake up looking this good. I don't think your human brains could handle me looking any better. →  Actually, your hair is a bit frizzy today... What?! How did that happen? Too much salt spray? I've, er... gotta go. Bye! →  Keep doing what you're doing! Right? Why improve on perfection? YOU are smart. It's always great talking to you, Player. →   That's NOT what I was thinking. At. All. Oh? Then you were admiring my tattoos. player I was thinking... →  Your hair's a bit flat today. What?! How did that happen? Too much salt spray? I've, er... gotta go. Bye! →  You're too full of yourself. Hey, it's hard being this perfect all the time. Maybe that's my flaw... I'm too perfect. →  Just keep doing what you're doing! Right! Why improve on perfection? YOU are smart. It's always great talking to you, Player.

• How's it going? [Added 1.3]

How's it going?

player Hey, Maui, I-- You're making a statue to commemorate my many awesome deeds? Thanks, buddy! →  Uh... TODOResponseToAnswerUh →  Huh...? TODOResponseToAnswerHuh →  Not exactly... [continue to next line] And you're probably wondering where you should put it once it's built. Say no more. Dazzle Beach would be great. No. Wait. Maybe right in the middle of the Meadow... →  I guess I'd put it on Dazzle Beach? TODOResponseToAnswerPutStatueOnBeach →  I guess I'd put it in the Peaceful Meadow? TODOResponseToAnswerPutStatueInMeadow →   I'm not building a statue of you! player I just wanted to say hello! ... Oh. Well... if you ever DO decide to make a statue of me... Just let me know if you need me to pose for the sculptor. Gotta make sure it captures all my awesomeness!

I have a question...

Saw you eyeing my magical fishhook. Nice, isn't it? →  It's very impressive. EXTREMELY impressive. And I'm the only one who has one. It's an exclusive club. Population: Maui. →   It's just a hook. Ah. Excuse me. the word "just" has no place in that sentence. This fishhook lets me shapeshift into a SHARK! What do you say to that? →  That's actually pretty impressive. EXTREMELY impressive. And I'm the only one who has one. It's an exclusive club. Population: Maui. →  Meh. Meh? Meh?! Nothing about Maui is "meh"! You wouldn't know awesome if it bit you. With shark teeth!

So, I have a few questions.

I know being face to face with a demigod is a lot. But you gotta relax! I'm just an ordinary guy who happens to be a demigod. Ask your questions. →  What's the biggest monster you've ever fought? If you're talking about raw size, the award definitely goes to the lava monster. It was like mountain-big! →  Tell me about your tattoos. Sure. Check out Mini Maui. He's my best bud! A real stand-up guy. Always has my back. Mostly because he spends a lot of time on my back. →  How did you become a demigod? That is a sad and personal story. And I have a limit of only one sad personal story per year. Moana used up this year's supply. Check in with me in a decade or so.

• Something on your mind? [Added 1.3]

Something on your mind? [Added 1.3]

Hey, Player, there's something I've been thinking about lately... The Forgetting... it's pretty scary stuff. And trust me, I'm not scared by much. But what if I started to forget all my greatest heroic deeds? →  Yeah. It scares me too. XXXXX →  Don't worry. I won't let that happen. XXXXX →   It could help get your ego under control... What--? Sorry, I got distracted for a minute. player Oh, haha, nothing, nothing!

Tell me something about yourself...

So one of the great things about being a shapeshifter is that I know what it's like to be a bunch of different animals. Ever wonder what it's like to be a shark? Tell me which of my animal forms is your favorite, and I'll tell you about it. →  Hawk. The giant hawk is possibly the greatest. You've got flight, which is helpful and awesome! And also sharp talons for putting the hurt on giant shiny crabs. →  Shark. Oh yeah, I love being a shark. Who doesn't like three rows of teeth! You want to bite something? You want to be a shark. →  Iguana. The iguana is a vastly underrated animal. It's small, sure, but it's a good climber. And sometimes it helps to be small so you can wriggle through tiny spaces.

• What are you up to? [Added 1.3]

What are you up to? [Added 1.3]

Hey, Player. Anything I can help with around here? player Hmmm... let me think... what do I need help with... →  You could harvest some crops. TODOResponseToAnswerYouCouldHarvestCrops →  You could mine some gems. TODOResponseToAnswerYouCouldMineGems →  You could catch some fish. Fish, huh? Sure. I could team up with Moana and bring you back a lot of fish. Like more fish than you've ever seen before! And that's a Maui promise.

You look like you have a question.

Player! Got a question for you. Which of these do you think is the BEST animal to turn into... Sneaky beetle? Fearsome shark? Or awesome, powerful, giant hawk? →  Definitely the hawk. Good choice! You have power, you have flight. There is literally no downside to being a hawk. →  I like the idea of sneaking around as a beetle. It has its uses. But you gotta be careful when you're tiny. A chicken might try to eat you. →  I personally like shark head. You like... Oh great. Moana told you about that, didn't she? I make a mistake shape-shifting one time, and I never hear the end of it!

Moana

Are you okay, Moana?

I was just thinking about my Gramma. I still really miss her. →  Who is that? My Gramma Tala. My father's mother. I loved her so much. She... she understood me. She told me the story of Te Fiti. And that our ancestors were voyagers. Sometimes I feel her spirit with me, but I still miss what we had. I was really lucky to have her. →  The grief will pass. I know. The sadness... it's softer than it used to be. When she died I was so sad; it was like a sharp pain. But now it's like a distant ache. Familiar, almost comforting. I guess that's the love. →  You'll always have her memory. You're right. And that's really comforting. She wouldn't want me to stay sad. And I won't. But she was important. I don't want my heart to forget her.

Did you always want to sail away?

When I was young, my father wanted me to be happy where I was. To focus on my responsibility to our people. But there was something inside me that called me to the ocean. I found a way to bring those two things together. Our people are voyagers again. →  I'd like to voyage someday. Oh, I know you'd love it! After seeing how you were in my canoe, I can tell the ocean calls to you just as much as it does to me. →  I'm happy right where I am. No voyaging for me. I know a lot of people who feel that way. And I love Motunui. I'm always happy there. And in your Village, too. But the ocean is always calling to me to sail and explore. →  I'm glad you found a way to bring those two things together. Me too. I'm so grateful. Discovering who we were made who we are even more incredible!

Do you have a question?

Player, I'm curious. Have you ever sailed on the ocean? →  I'm afraid of the water. That's understandable. The ocean can be frightening, especially in a storm. But if you get to know the currents and learn to sail, it can be amazing! →  Never, but I want to! That's great! Maybe someday we can take a voyage together. →  Of course I have! The water calls me. Me too! When I was little, I'd go to the shore every chance I got. And one day... the ocean introduced itself to me! At least that's what Gramma Tala said. I was just a baby, so I don't really remember.

• How's your day going? [Added 1.3]

• I've got a question for you... [Added 1.3]

I've got a question for you... [Added 1.3]

player Have you noticed anything interesting in the seas around the Beach? I found lots of little islands. But there's something strange about this place. Whenever I try to go back and find the same island twice... it's gone. →  Maybe you navigated to the wrong spot? TODOResponseToAnswerMaybeNavigatedWrong →  Maybe it drifted somewhere else? TODOResponseToAnswerMaybeIslandDrifted →  Maybe... I don't know. Dreamlight Valley is weird You're right. It is. I just wonder if it's weird in a way that I can figure out, and use that to help us.

Let's talk about nature.

Ever since I was a little girl, I could feel the ocean calling to me. Is there a place in nature that makes you happiest? →   It's hard to decide. I love nature! That's great! For me, it's definitely the ocean. Even if sometimes I have a hard time figuring out what it wants. But if you HAD to choose, what's your favorite place in nature? →  I love the forest. Really? I'd love to learn more about the forest. I've seen so many new trees just in the Village! →  I love the ocean. It's incredible, right? So beautiful and yet so wild. I could never live away from the water. →  I love the mountains. I've seen the mountains here in the distance, but I haven't been there yet. I bet the view is amazing! →   I like the indoors best! Really? What do you like to do indoors? →  I like to read books. Interesting... I'd love to know more about that. You'll have to show me sometime! →  I like to cook. Well, if you ever want to cook for me, I'd be okay with that. Being out on the water always makes me hungry! →  I play video games. I'm sorry, I don't know what that is. But it sounds interesting.

Tell me about food on Motunui?

Do you ever think about coconuts? I mean, REALLY think about them? →   Yes. player Yes. You do?! Oh... Well, what do you think of coconuts? →   They're useful. Sure. They're definitely useful. We use the fibers and leaves. We drink the water and eat the meat. But there's more to life than coconuts, right? →  Right. Thank you! Don't get me wrong; I'm grateful for coconuts. But a person can't live on coconuts alone. A person needs to explore, and find out who she is! ... Wait, you know I was just using coconuts as a metaphor, right? →  No, only coconuts. Okaaaay... You'd really like my dad. →  They're kind of boring. That's what I think! Don't get me wrong; I'm grateful for coconuts. But a person can't live on only coconuts. A person needs to explore, and find out who she is! ... Wait, you know I was just using coconuts as a metaphor, right? →   No. Well, my dad does. A LOT. And coconuts are definitely useful! We use the fibers and leaves. We drink the water and eat the meat. But there's more to life than coconuts, right? →  Right. Thank you! Don't get me wrong; I'm grateful for coconuts. But a person can't live on coconuts alone. A person needs to explore, and find out who she is! ... Wait, you know I was just using coconuts as a metaphor, right? →  No, only coconuts. Okaaaay... You'd really like my dad. →  I'm allergic. You're allergic to coconuts? Wow, that must be really hard. On Motunui, almost everything is made from coconuts! I guess you can eat fish, though? I hope you like fish.

What's on your mind? [after Coconut ingredient unlocked]

Now that we have coconuts in the Valley, I hope everyone gets a lot of use out of them. They're pretty good for just about anything. →  Coconut soup. Mm! I'd need to catch some fish, but coconut milk can make a delicious soup. →  A coconut helmet. You know, on our journey together, Maui and I faced off with some tiny scavengers called the Kakamora. They use coconuts as armor. →  Nets out of the fibers! Yes! Wait -- I think I taught you that one.

Will you go sailing today?

I'm not sure if I'll go sailing today. It depends on the weather. →  Have you sailed in storms? A few. It's dangerous. ...and maybe a little bit exciting. →  What's the best weather for sailing? It depends on what you're doing. Cloudy days are good for fishing. The sun feels amazing, but you want to make sure you have some shade. So it's good that you can use a sail for shade when you need it.

You look a little down.

When I miss Gramma Tala, I go to the ocean shore. She loved to dance in the shallows. What do you do when you miss someone? →   I tell stories about them! That's really smart. We tell lots of stories on Motunui. Gramma Tala was an amazing storyteller. →  What kinds of stories did she tell? All kinds. But her favorite was about our history. How Maui stole the heart of Te Fiti and about the demon who tried to get it back! Some of my friends used to get scared, but I was just excited. →  Do YOU tell stories now? I do! My favorites are the scary ones about the Realm of Monsters! Not that I want to scare anyone. Unless they like that! →  Did you have a favorite story? I do. It's about how Gramma Tala came to me when I lost my way. She really helped. →   I call my friends to hang out with them. I have a lot of people to talk to, too. But Gramma Tala was... different. She really understood me. →  What did you like best about her? She didn't care if people thought she was different. She was just so much... herself. →  Do you think you're like her? I hope so. I try to follow my heart. I think she did that too.

Ratatouille

Remy

Do you have a question?

Is there an organization that inspects food safety in the Valley? →  I don't think so. Well, we need one. I want people to know it's safe to eat at my restaurant. Actually, you've cooked with me. Maybe you could give the restaurant a safety rating? →  I can do that. Great! All right. I'm ready. Go ahead. →  Why would you want that? Because I want my restaurant to be certified "safe." I want people to feel confident eating there. Actually, you've cooked with me. Maybe you could give the restaurant a safety rating? How would you rate my restaurant on safety? →  Extremely safe. Excellent! I was certain everything was up to code, but it's nice to have the reassurance. →  Pretty safe. Excellent! I was certain everything was up to code, but it's nice to have the reassurance. →  Unsafe, but only when villains eat there. Oh. That's a good point. Maybe I should put up rules for villains? But they're villains, so they'll just break the rules... I need to think about this.

• Got a question for me? [Added 1.3]

How are the new recipes going?

You've gotta taste this! It's not really a smoky taste. It's more of a...ZAP-KAPOW kind of taste! What do you think? →  Delicious! Right?! Go ahead! It's all yours. →  Definitely ZAP-KAPOW. Right?! That's what I'm saying. I got it that way by being struck by lightning while I was cooking. It was intense, but worth it for the flavor! →  Needs salt. Really? Let me taste it again... You're right! This is under-salted. Thank you!

Is running a restaurant as easy as cooking?

So, it turns out that running a restaurant is a lot different than cooking. →  It is? [continue to next line] →  That makes sense. [continue to next line] →  Aren't they the same thing? [continue to next line] When you're cooking, you can focus on just the food. But a restaurant... is an entire experience! You have to decorate the space... ...manage the customers, order supplies, shop for ingredients... It's a lot of work. →  Do you need help? Actually, I'm okay. You already help me a lot, Player. And I really appreciate it. →  Is it worth it? Absolutely! It's completely worth it. →  Maybe you should take a break. No way! I love the work. Having my own restaurant lets people experience my cooking. And watching them enjoy my food... there's nothing like it.

Let's talk about flavor!

Player, do you prefer savory things or sweet things? →   Savory. Good choice. That gives you an extremely wide variety of flavor profiles to enjoy. Okay, do you enjoy salty, savory things? Or fermented things like cheeses? Or spicy stews? →  Salty. Got it. I have to be careful not to make meals too salty. But a touch of salt improves almost any savory meal. →  Fermented. I agree. I hate to be a cliché, but I am INCREDIBLY fond of aged cheese. →  Spicy stews. Excellent! On a cold day, there's nothing better than a spicy, savory stew. →   Sweet. A sweet tooth, huh? Well, I've been getting more interested in desserts lately. Do you like pure sweetness? Or maybe sweet and sour? Or fruity sweets? →  Pure sugar. Then you might like puff pastry with powdered sugar. I'll keep that in mind. →  Sweet and sour. Two flavors that complement each other amazingly! I'll keep that in mind. →  Fruity. Lots of desserts get their sweetness from fruit. It's a very natural source of sugar.

Teach me about baking!

Today is all about pastries. I'm gonna try and push my restaurant's pastry game to the next level. But I need to focus on one at a time. What's your favorite pastry, Player? →  Croissants. Classic. Now, the trick to croissants is getting them crisp and flaky. Most people associate croissants with France... ...but did you know they were actually invented in Austria? True fact! Thank you, Austria. →  Donuts. Donuts ARE a pastry. But I don't generally serve them. So I don't know much about making them. Which is something I should fix. Okay, I'm gonna learn about donuts! →  I like them all!. Ha! You sound just like my brother, Emile. He'll eat just about anything.

Tell me more about your job!

Do you know how many different kinds of cooks there are? You've got sous chefs, sauciers, pastry chefs... The list goes on! →   What's a sous chef? Oh, a sous chef is very important! They're responsible for the kitchen when the chef's not around. A sous chef has to know how everything works. →  That sounds hard. It is, so you need someone who's extremely qualified. →  I bet I could do that. You've already done it! When you were in Paris, you were my sous chef! →   What's a saucier? Just what it sounds like! They're a chef who's entirely in charge of sauces. →  I love sauces! You should! →  That doesn't sound very important. Oh, but it is! Sauces can add a finishing touch, or infuse an entire dish with flavor. A good sauce can make or break a dish. →   Do pastry chefs only make pastries? Yes. But there's no such thing as "only" a pastry. Pastries are very important. Dessert is a customer's final experience with the restaurant. →  A last chance to make a good impression. Exactly. You get it. →  I love dessert. You and most of Paris! Which is why pastry chefs are so important.

• What's up? [Added 1.3]

Where did you learn to cook?

Have you ever heard of Auguste Gusteau? →  Yes. Of course you have! He was possibly the greatest chef ever. →  No. Well, Gusteau is an amazing chef! And my idol. →  Isn't he dead? Well, yeah, he is. But while he was alive, he was an amazing chef. I learned so much from him. About good food, savoring everything, and being brave. →  Good food? Yes! He used to say: "Good food is like music you can taste, color you can smell!" Eating is a full body experience. You have to engage all the senses! →  Savoring everything? Yes! He used to say, "There is excellence all around you! You need only be aware to stop and savor it." So I always try to stop and savor everything. →  Being brave? Yes! You have to be brave to be a great cook. You've got to try things that may not work, be willing to fail. "Anyone can cook, but only the fearless can be great." At least, that's what Gusteau said.

• Where do you get your ingredients? [Added 1.3]

Where do you get your ingredients?

Player, did you know that when it comes to fresh ingredients, Chez Remy is the first Goofy-to-table restaurant? player Goofy-to-table...? Yep! Goofy's Stall provides me with all the freshest ingredients. Of course, I have to import some rare items through Mr. McDuck. Which can be a bit expensive... →  It's worth it for quality ingredients. TODOResponseToAnswerWorthItForQuality →  Maybe you could work out a better deal with Mr. McDuck? TODOResponseToAnswerWorkOutBetterDeal →  Running a restaurant seems complicated. It is. But at the end of the day, it's also simple. You either make a meal that someone loves... or you don't. The rest of it doesn't matter.

You seem preoccupied...

Hey, Player. I've been thinking... →  What about? About cooking. Of course, I'm always doing that... →  A dangerous pastime. Yeah. That's what my brother always says. But this time I was thinking about the Night Thorns and how we need to get rid of them. So... what if I found a way to cook them? →  I think they're poisonous. You can cook some poisonous things in a way that makes them safe to eat. But I guess that would be too dangerous to try. I better give it some more thought. →  I think they're mystically dangerous. Mystical, huh? That sounds a little beyond me. Guess I better not mess with the Night Thorns. →  I think they'd taste bad. You'd be surprised at how bad some raw ingredients can taste. But sauté them, add a little garlic, and they can totally transform.

The Lion King

Scar

Moved to Character page

The Little Mermaid

Ariel

Do you have a question, Ariel?

You're a human, Player. What would you say your favorite human thing is? →   Probably fire. Before I saw it, I was so curious about it. I know it can be helpful and also hurtful. What do you like about it? →  It's warm and cozy. Mmm. That does sound nice. →  It's bright and beautiful. It is! And it's warm too. →  It's useful. Yes! It provides light and heat, and I know humans like to cook their food over it. If I'm on land when it gets cold, I like being near a warm fire. →   Shoes are nice. Oh. When I wore them, they pinched a little. Why do you like shoes so much? →  They protect my feet. Oh, I guess that makes sense. The water doesn't hurt my feet, but I suppose there are things on land that would if I didn't wear shoes. →  They make me taller. Really?! I didn't know shoes could do that. →  Mine look cool. Let me see... Oh, you're right. Your shoes are so neat! →  It's hard to choose just one! I would have trouble choosing, too. But please do try. At least tell me one you like a lot. [reprompt]

Do you have anything on your mind? [Added 1.3]

Do you like living here?

I've been learning so much more about human stuff since I came to this Village! Why don't you give me a test?! Tell me the name of a human object, and I'll tell you what it's used for. →  Fork. Oh, that one's easy! It's for combing your hair. And I believe the more common term for "fork" is "dinglehopper." →  Shoes. Oh, shoes. Those are the things humans put on their feet for some reason. I'm not completely sure why. They already have feet for walking; why do they need shoes? Now it's my turn. I'll tell you the name of a human object, and you tell me what it does. Do you know what a snarfblatt is? →  A fish. No, silly! A snarfblatt is a musical instrument. You use it to make music. It's a little tricky to play, though. →  A shark. No, silly! A snarfblatt is a musical instrument. You use it to make music. It's a little tricky to play, though. →  A trumpet. That's right! Wow, you really know your human stuff.

Do you need any help?

Player, I want to get a present for Eric. But I could use your advice. What sorts of things would a human man like? →  Something from under the sea? Do you think so? He IS very curious about my world. Almost as curious as I am about his! Maybe I could find him a beautiful shell. Or sea glass! →  Something from your collection? But my collection is all things from the human world. He already has so much of that stuff. Unless... Maybe he would like something familiar if it's picked out just for him. I'll take a look at the gizmos in my collection and see if any of them are shiny enough. →  Eric likes your singing. That's true. Maybe my present can be singing for him! Oh, thank you, Player! That's just what I'll do.

Have you got a question?

Player, I have a very important question for you. What's your favorite thing to do on land? →  Dance. Oh, we dance underwater too! But it must be so much harder when you have to stay connected to the floor. →  Ski. Oh, Merlin told me about skiing! You put sticks on your feet and throw yourself down a mountain. That sounds so exciting! I'd love to try it someday. →  Fly kites. Oh, I've seen those! They're almost like the sail of a boat, but in the sky. There are so many interesting things to do on land. →  Yeah, it can be pretty cool. Thank you for telling me about it! →  I think the sea is better. giggle* I know a crab who agrees with you. →  I think they're both amazing in their own ways. I guess you're right. There are lots of fantastic things about both of them.

How is your collection going?

Since I can go on land whenever I'd like now, I want to find things to add to my collection. What do you think I should start looking for? →  Stamps? Hmm. Stamps get sticky when they're wet, right? I'll have to make sure I keep them very dry. I'll find a special place in my House for them. →  Hats? Ooh, that would be fun! I've already seen so many different kind of hats; there must be even more. And I could learn their names! I really want to know what a "fascinator" is. →  Thingamabobs? I already have twenty thingamabobs. I'd really like to collect something different.

I've got a question for you!

Hello, Player. Do you have a question for me? →  How many merpeople are there? Oh my gosh, I don't know! Just in Atlantica, there's more than I can count. →  Do you get tired swimming all the time? Well, I do get tired. But I'm not sure if it's because I'm swimming or just because I've been doing a lot. →  What's the biggest fish you've ever seen? Well, I've seen some pretty big whales. But fish... I guess I'd have to say a whale shark, which is actually a fish, not a whale. Isn't that confusing?

Is living here any fun? [Added 1.3]

Let's talk about you.

I have an idea, Player! Let's see how much we know about each other. It can be a game! I'll start... I'm the daughter of the king of the ocean. What's my father's name? →  King Triton. That's right! Okay, the next question is a little more difficult... →  Poseidon. No. My father's name is King Triton. / Maybe you know the answer to this question: How many sisters do I have? →  The Tuna King. giggle* I'm not a tuna, Player. I'm a mermaid. My father's name is King Triton. / Maybe you know the answer to this question: How many sisters do I have? How many sisters do I have? →  You're an only child. No, I have six older sisters: Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella and Alana. But that was a tough one. / I promise the next question is easier! →  You have six sisters. Yes! I have six older sisters: Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella and Alana. / Wow, you won't have any problem with the next question! →  You have two brothers: Flounder and Sebastian. No, Flounder and Sebastian are my friends. I have six older sisters: Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella and Alana. / I promise the next question is easier! I have a collection of gizmos and thingamabobs and all sorts of stuff. Do you know what the things in my collection have in common? →  They are things found on land. You're right! I think human stuff is very interesting. OR [3/3] You're right again! I think human stuff is very interesting. →  They're coral. No, there's a lot of coral in the ocean. It would kind of be like collecting sand. I collect human stuff. I think it's very interesting. →  Shark teeth, of course. Oh no! That would be too dangerous. I collect human stuff. I think it's very interesting. [0/3] Well, you've only gotten one answer right so far, but let's see how you do on the next one. OR [1/3] You only got one answer right so far, but let's see how you do on the next one. OR [2/3] Okay, two out of three is very good! Let's see if you can answer the next question! OR [3/3] Okay, let's see if you can answer the next question... What did Ursula want from me when I asked her to give me human legs? →  Your fins. [0/4] Oh, I'm sorry, Player. She did give me legs, but she asked for my voice in return. / Now there's only one question left. What's the name of the human I saved from drowning? OR [1/4, 2/4]Oh, I'm sorry, Player. She did give me legs, but she asked for my voice in return. Are you ready for the next one? [TODO-verify 2/4] OR [3/4] Oh, I'm sorry, Player. She did give me legs, but she asked for my voice in return. Are you ready for the next one? / What's the name of the human I saved from drowning? [asks same question twice] →  Your father's trident. I'm sorry. She wanted my voice. / Now there's only one question left. What's the name of the human I saved from drowning? →  Your voice! [1/4] You got it! That's one right answer so far. Let's see if you can get this last one... OR [2/4, 3/4]Oh my gosh, you're right! Now there's only one question left... OR [4/4] Oh my gosh, you've gotten every answer right! Now let's see if you know this very last one... What's the name of the human I saved from drowning? →  Flotsam. No. That's the name of one of Ursula's horrible eels. I saved Prince Eric. →  Eric. Yes! He got hurt saving his dog during a storm. I'm so glad I was there to help. →  Max. No. You're thinking of his dog. I saved Prince Eric. [0/5 correct] Gosh, that wasn't a very big success, was it? I hope we get to know each other better. OR [1/5 correct] Well, you only knew one thing about me, but I hope we get to know each other better! OR [2/5 correct] You do know some things about me! I hope you had fun. OR [3/5 or 4/5 correct] Gosh, you really know a lot about me! I'm glad that we're becoming such good friends. OR [5/5 correct] That's amazing! You know so much about me. That makes me very happy. Let's talk again soon! I can't wait to learn more about you.

Tell me about your hobbies.

I love to sing. And Sebastian says I'm pretty good at it. Do you like to sing? →   Yes. That's fantastic! Tell me, what's your favorite kind of song? →  Love songs. Oh, I like love songs too. I used to think they were just pretty. But ever since I met Eric, I understand them so much better. →  Dance songs. Oh, I love those too! Sebastian is really good at writing dance songs. He can get the whole ocean dancing! →  Rock anthems. Oh, I don't think I've ever heard of those. They must be songs that rockfish sing... →   No. Oh. Well, do you enjoy listening to singing? →   Yes. That's fantastic! Tell me, what's your favorite kind of song? →  Love songs. Oh, I like love songs too. I used to think they were just pretty. But ever since I met Eric, I understand them so much better. →  Dance songs. Oh, I love those too! Sebastian is really good at writing dance songs. He can get the whole ocean dancing! →  Rock anthems. Oh, I don't think I've ever heard of those. They must be songs that rockfish sing... →  No. Oh, I understand. Well, I hope you have other things that you enjoy. Like maybe... dancing or art. I saw a puppet show once. Maybe that's it! Maybe you love puppet shows! →  Badly. Oh, I don't think anyone truly sings badly if they enjoy it. That's the most important thing about singing. Having fun!

What are you thinking about?

I've always been so curious about the human world. And I just realized... You might be curious about my underwater world! Is there anything you'd like me to tell you about? →  What's the deepest you've ever dived? Well, I've explored an underwater trench. It was very dark and very cold. →  What's it like being friends with fish? I guess it's the same as being friends with humans. All fish are different but most of them are friendly. →  How do you breathe? Oh! I don't know. I just do! I can breathe the water like we can both breathe in the air.

What's up?

Where would you most like to go exploring, Player? →   The forests. Oh, I'd love to do that too! What do you like about the forest? →  They're dark and green. Hmmm...I've been in kelp forests like that. →  They're full of tiny critters! That sounds like the ocean... except we have schools of fish. →  Sometimes there are scary witches. Oh, the ocean has those too. →   The tundra. That sounds so interesting! What do you like about the tundra? →  It's nice and cold. Brrr. I wonder if it's as cold as the trench near Atlantica. →  There's so much snow. I'd like to see that. It snows over the ocean sometimes. My father took me very far north once, and there was ice on the water! →  There are gorgeous mountains. We have mountains underwater, too! But you swim down them instead of climb up them. →   The desert. I don't think I've heard of deserts. What do you like about them? →  They're wide and open. That sounds like the open ocean. There's room to swim in all directions. →  They're warm and sunny. That sounds nice. I like going to the surface to feel the sun. →  There are lions! I wonder if they're like the sea lions we have in the ocean. Sea lions can be very silly.

You look very happy.

Eric is wonderful, isn't he? He has the warmest smile and the kindest heart. What do you think about when you think of Eric? →  His smile. Oh, I love it when he smiles! He looks so happy. Like he's about to laugh! And he has a wonderful laugh, too. It really lets you know how much he cares. →  His personality. Me too! He loves exploring, just like me! And he's so understanding. When I couldn't talk, he was very patient. I'm really looking forward to discovering all the things we have in common and what our differences are too.

You seem preoccupied.

What do you do when you feel homesick, Player? →  Visit friends. Visiting friends always cheers me up, too. Especially my friend Flounder. He and I have gone on the most exciting adventures together. →   Look at mementos. Oh, that's smart. I spend so much time collecting human stuff, maybe I should get a few things to remind me of home. player Hmm. Maybe you could gather... →  Seashells. I do have some favorite seashells from when I was a little girl. I'd love to have those here to remind me of home. What a wonderful idea, Player. Thank you! →  Sheet music. Oh, what a good idea! I'm sure I could find some of the concert music that Sebastian's written. Then maybe I could get some friends here to sing it with me! →  Fish. You mean like in a bowl? I could never! Fish don't belong in bowls, Player. They need to be free in the ocean. →  Distraction. You mean that if you don't think about home, you won't have time to miss it? I guess that makes sense.

• You seem to be looking at the Well... [Added 1.3]

You seem to be looking at the Well... [Added 1.3]

Player, does anyone ever drink from the Wishing Wells in the Valley? →  Yes, I imagine some Villagers do. TODOResponseToAnswerIImagineYes →  I don't know. Why? TODOResponseToAnswerIDKWhy →   I hope not. They're MAGIC Wells. player It'd be very dangerous. player And kind of weird. I use them to travel. Oh, then it might be dangerous to swim in them too. I'll keep on avoiding them then. Thank you, Player.

Prince Eric

• A penny for your thoughts? [Added 1.3]

A penny for your thoughts? [Added 1.3]

You know, Player, I've been thinking about exploring lately. Which do you prefer: leisurely exploration or action-filled adventure? →  Leisurely exploration. TODOResponeToAnswerLeisurelyExploration →  Action-filled adventure. TODOResponeToAnswerActionFilledAdventure →  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? [Added 1.3]

Any deep thoughts to share with me today? [Added 1.3]

Hey, Player. I had a thought -- you know forks? →  Like, the cutlery? TODOResponseToAnswerLikeTheCutlery →  Yes. I am aware of forks. TODOResponseToAnswerIAmAwareOfForks →  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. TODOResponseToAnswerSoundsConfusing →  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? [Added 1.3]

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? [Added 1.3]

Got a question for me?

Player, have you ever seen a dolphin? →  I have! TODOResponseToAnswerIHaveSeenDolphins →  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? TODOResponseToAnswerAreThereManyDolphins →  I didn't know that. TODOResponseToAnswerIDidn'tKnowThat →  I love dolphins! I do too. Seeing them is always really impressive.

• What are you up to? [Added 1.3]

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! TODOResponseToAnswerDazzleBeachForPicnic →  The Forest of Valor! TODOResponseToAnswerForestForPicnic →  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. TODOResponseToAnswerFruitForPicnic →  Freshly baked bread. TODOResponseToAnswerBreadForPicnic →  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? [Added 1.3]

What's on your mind? [Added 1.3]

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? TODOResponseToAnswerWhatDoYouNeedToExplore →  Is there anything special out there? TODOResponseToAnswerAnythingSpecial →  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.

Ursula

• Did you need anything? [Added 1.3]

Do you have time to talk?

What is it? Well, speak up! Mustn't lurk about, silent as a clam. It's rude. If you have something to ask me, ask! →  How did you learn magic? Oh, I've always had a natural talent for it. When I lived in Atlantica, I did research on magic and alchemy. And after I was banished, I experimented on anyone-- I mean, anything I could find. →  Why do you turn merpeople into those shriveled gray beings? You're talking about my garden? The unfortunate souls who failed to meet the terms of our agreements? It's simple really. I can't let word get out that my contracts are breakable. Besides, it makes me happy to see Triton's subjects writhe on my particular type of hook.

• Something bothering you? [Added 1.3]

Something bothering you?

Player, just who I wanted to see. I'm in need of a sympathetic ear, dear. →  What's wrong? TODOResponseToAnswerWhat'sWrong →  Are you all right? TODOResponseToAnswerAreYouAllRight →  What is it now? [continue to next line] I've had it up to here with a certain pointy-hatted, long-white-bearded, know-it-all wizard... →  Why are you upset with Merlin? TODOResponseToAnswerWhyUpsetWithMerlin →  I have no idea who you're talking about. Do I have to spell it out for you? M-E-R-L-I-N. Merlin! That windbag goody-two-shoes is always lecturing me on the proper uses of magic. As if I need lessons in magical etiquette! Ugh, now I"ve got myself all in a lather. Just be sure to keep that pompous barnacle away from me.

What are you thinking about?

Oh, Player, it's you. I was just musing over the distant past. Did you know that I used to live in Atlantica? In the palace, in fact. →   Why did you leave? It wasn't by choice, you can be sure of that. King Triton, the tyrant, exiled me. I was banished to waste away in the darkest part of the ocean. →  That's terrible! Isn't it? All the world turned against poor innocent me. And what did I do? Practically nothing! I only gave the merfolk what they asked for. Is it my fault they didn't like the price? →  Why? Oh, it was over practically nothing! I only gave the merfolk what they asked for. Is it my fault they didn't like the price? It was all an excuse. I know Triton was really frightened by my power. →   Did you like it there? Of course! It's a palace! Oh, I miss the comforts. The feasts, the festivals. Servants at my beck and call. What would you miss if you were driven off and forced to live in the... well, I suppose for you it would be the woods? →  Ice Cream. Oh, I've heard of that. A cold, sugary treat, am I right? I wonder if anyone here makes it in kelp flavor? →  Television. Hm. I have no idea what that is. Some sort of ludicrous human invention, I suppose. →  Video games. I have no idea what that is. But I do enjoy games. Especially when I get to make the rules. →  Why do you look different? You mean why am I not a waifish merperson with a dinky little green tail? I look different because I AM different, dear. Not just different. Better!

• What are you up to today? [Added 1.3]

What are you working on?

I need a new potion to attract customers. Player, what sort of magical potion do you think would be most in demand here? →  Love Potion. Oh, those tired old things. I've made a million of them. Though I suppose I could make one that's designed just for the Villagers here. They're not all merfolk, after all. →  Beauty Potion. That's called makeup, angelfish. Though I suppose I could add a little magic to some. Maybe a cheek color that only blushes when you want it to. Hmm... that might be quite the seller. →  Luck Potion. Luck spells are tricky, but they do sell well. Not a bad idea.

• What's going on? [Added 1.3]

• What's on your mind? [Added 1.3]

You seem lost in thought.

I came so CLOSE to becoming ruler of all the ocean! I had the trident in my hand and the crown on my head! Can you imagine the power? →   I don't want that kind of power. You're lying to yourself, dear. Domination over the seven seas. If you tasted that power, you'd crave it as much as I do. →  No way. Oh, so certain, are we? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Heh-heh-heh. →  ... Maybe. That's what I thought. →  That sounds amazing. It was. It was! And then that insipid little princess and her petty prince ruined it all. But I'll get my revenge. Just you wait and see. →  That's probably why you lost... You got distracted by power. Hmph. Well, you're not wrong. I might have gotten a little carried away with the storm and the whirlpool. But it was so exciting! I couldn't help myself.

Frozen

Anna

Do you have a question?

What's your favorite kind of sandwich? →  Egg sandwiches. Good choice! I especially like them with cheese. →  Bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Oooh. That sounds good! I kind of want one of those right now. →  Hamburger. Huh. I've never heard of them, but I definitely want to try one! I've been thinking a lot about sandwiches lately. Sometimes, when you share a love for something fantastic -- like sandwiches -- with a horrible person, it can ruin that thing. You try to enjoy sandwiches, and you find yourself thinking about that horrible ex-fiancé... err, person. And what do you do then? →  Stop eating sandwiches. No! I refuse! Sandwiches are too good to give up! →  Keep eating sandwiches. EXACTLY! I WON'T let anyone ruin sandwiches for me! →  Eat more sandwiches. EXACTLY! I WON'T let anyone ruin sandwiches for me!

Do you need to talk, Anna?

Player! You've been working so hard, I wanted to check in with you. Have you eaten lately? Stretched? Had plenty of fluids? →  I feel okay! Great! That's good to hear. I just wanted to make sure. I like to check in on the people I care about. →  Oh! I'm thirsty. Then you should go get something to drink -- right now! It's easy to get dehydrated. It's even happened to Elsa. You would think that since she has ice powers it wouldn't, but it doesn't work that way. I have to remind her to drink water a lot. →  I haven't stretched in a while. Oh, then you should do that and move around! Don't want you getting cramps or pulling any muscles. I always stretch before Kristoff and I go hiking. Or skating. Or swimming. Basically, I stretch a lot.

Is there anything you want to ask?

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have powers, like Elsa does. If you could have any power, what would you choose? →  Flying. Oh, that would be amazing! Can you imagine soaring through the sky free as a bird? It would have made following Elsa up that mountain a lot easier. →   Shapeshifting. Oooh. You could turn into a bird! Or a squirrel. Or a reindeer! But I shouldn't choose. It's your power. What would you turn into? →  A bird. That's really smart! You can shapeshift, AND you get the power of flight at the same time! →  A reindeer. Now that would be fun! You could gallop across the snowy meadows with the other reindeer and you wouldn't even need boots! →  A squirrel. Yes! You could climb any tree you want and never tear your clothes or scrape your knees! →  Ice powers. Having observed ice powers up close, I can say they're pretty amazing.

Let's talk food!

Player! You have to tell me -- what's your favorite food? →  Pizza. Pizza? What's that? Because it sounds delicious. Maybe Remy could make me a pizza so I can try it. →  Fresh bread. Mmmm. Fresh bread, right from the bakers. Good choice! →  Chocolate. Mmmm! Good choice! I LOVE chocolate. Ooh, but what I'm really hungry for right now is krumkake! It's a waffle cookie shaped like a cone. And you can put anything inside of it! Fruit, ice cream, chocolate -- change the filling and it becomes a completely new dessert!

Elsa

Do you have a question? [talking to people]

You spend a lot of time talking to people, don't you? I still find that difficult sometimes. →   It's easy. That's what Anna says. What makes it easy for you? →  Trust. Hmmm. That makes sense. I usually trust the person I'm talking to, so I shouldn't worry that they'll be upset if I say the wrong thing. Thank you, Player. That helps. →  Indifference. I guess it is easier to talk if you don't care about the people you're talking to. Fortunately, I am seldom in that position. →   Just say what you feel. Well, I am getting better at understanding what I feel. I suppose that's a good step. →  It is. Thank you, Player. That helps. →  If they don't like what you say, that's their problem. I don't think that's a very responsible approach. →  Just start. Well, that's what Anna and Olaf do. They just start talking. It's almost like they jump off a cliff into words. It's kind of impressive and...really brave.

Do you have a question? [opinion on Kristoff]

Player. What do you think of Kristoff? →  He's a stand-up guy. I'm glad you think so. I value your opinion. He seems to make Anna happy. So I like him. →  He's a bit of a fixer-upper. You think so? I guess he's a bit rough around the edges. But he seems to make Anna happy. So I like him. →  He smells like reindeer. He does. I suppose that's something of a drawback. But he seems to make Anna happy. So I like him.

Elsa... have you ever considered getting into fashion design?

What do you mean? player You've made so many beautiful dresses! →  I love the shimmery blue dress you made. Ha! I enjoyed that one. It was important to me to wear something new. Though thinking back on what I did back then is embarrassing. →  I like the white dress with the diamond pattern. Thank you. I was very proud of that one. →  The dresses you wear around Arendelle are so pretty. Oh, I don't make those. Those are normal dresses. Other people sew them. I do commission them, though. I enjoy thinking about the cut and shape of clothing, what it means and how it makes people feel. When I was young, I used it to control myself. My gloves. →  I'm glad you got rid of those. I am too. They felt necessary at the time, but they were painful to wear. It's good to feel the breeze on my fingertips. →  You wore those to keep Anna safe. I did. I felt so guilty for so long. But I was a child. It's silly to blame a child for an accident. →  Now you're older. I am. And I know how to trust myself.

Tell me about your powers.

Ice and snow. They come in so many shapes and textures. Hard ice. Soft flurries. Frost. Blizzards. They're all distinct. They feel different when I control them. →  What does ice feel like? Ice is sharp and clear. It's very hard... it never bends, but it can curve. I enjoy working with ice. It's precise. →  What does snow feel like? Snow is light and airy. It's made up of so many little flakes. That can make it harder to control. I'm keeping track of many parts. →  Does it feel different to create life? Yes. It's strange... it's like there's this warmth within the ice. But it's not normal warmth. It's cold warmth. And it's aware. You can probably tell... it's hard to describe.

You know a lot about magic.

I've learned a lot about my powers in the last year. And about the Spirits of Nature. Would you like me to tell you about any of them? →  Water. The Water Spirit is also called the Water Nokk. It takes the form of a horse and has the power of the ocean. The Nokk guards the Enchanted Forest fiercely and won't respect you unless you prove yourself worthy. →  Fire. The Fire Spirit appears as a tiny salamander who leaves a trail of fire as it runs. We call it Bruni. Its flames can be frightening, but it only makes them in times of unrest of strife. Bruni likes it when I make snowflakes that it can eat. →  Earth. The Earth Giants can be dangerous if you disturb them. They sleep most of the time, so you might mistake them for hills or mountains. But if they wake, they stomp and throw boulders. So... it's best not to wake them. →  Wind. The Wind Spirit can be a playful, gentle breeze, or a swirling vortex. Olaf named it Gale. My mother knew Gale when she was a young girl. Gale helped her save my father. And Gale guided us at many points during our journey through the Enchanted Forest.

• You look preoccupied. [Added 1.3]

You look preoccupied.

Player. I've been thinking about Olaf. →  What about him? TODOResponseToAnswerWhatAboutOlaf →  He's a sweetheart. TODOResponseToAnswerOlafSweetheart →  He's annoying. He can be a little exasperating at times. He was the first living being I made out of snow. I've started being more careful about making life. →  That's smart. TODOResponseToAnswerThat'sSmart →  No! Make an army of tiny snowmen! I kind of already did. I had a cold. And I accidentally made snowmen when I sneezed. There are a lot of them. And I feel responsible for all of them. Probably no more living snowmen for a while.

Kristoff

Can I help you?

What do you think's the most romantic way to spend an evening with someone you love? →  Candlelit dinner. Huh? I thought that might be cliché, but maybe clichés are good sometimes? Especially when it comes to romance. Thanks, Player. You've given me a lot to think about. →  Playing charades. Really? I think that's fun, but I'm not sure I'd call it romantic. Let me know if you have any other ideas. →  Cuddling by a campfire in the snowy woods. Really? Because that sounds perfect to me! Thanks for the idea, Player!

Do you need my advice on anything?

I'm hoping you can settle something for me... What would you think if someone told you they'd gotten engaged to someone they'd just met that day? →  Terrible idea. Exactly! The first day you meet someone, they're practically a stranger! Thanks. I was pretty sure I wasn't alone in thinking that. →   True love! What?! You can't really get to know someone in just one day. What if he's secretly plotting to steal your kingdom? What if you hate the way he picks his nose? →  That's a good point. It is a good point! Thank you. →  Doesn't matter. True love. No. I'm sorry. You can't just say "true love" like it answers all the questions! →  Ew. All men do it. Sorry.

Is everything okay?

Is talking about feelings as hard for you as it is for me? Why is that? →  Because they're important. I guess that makes sense. You don't want to mess up something that important. And it's easy to get confused about feelings. →  Because they're scary. Wait -- why would feelings be scary? They can't bite you, like wolves. You can't fall off the side of a feeling and die. They just sit inside of you, always there, haunting your every waking moment and changing everything. ... Yep. You're right. Feelings can be terrifying. →  Because they're weird. You're right, feelings ARE weird. Things were so much simpler when it was just me, Sven and the trolls! Simpler... but not as amazing. So I guess feelings are worth it. How do YOU talk about feelings, Player? →  Be honest. I'm always honest. It's just sometimes the words I use don't end up saying what I really mean. Like one time I called Anna crazy for getting engaged to a man she just met. That wasn't the right word at all. I should have said "impetuous," or "eager," or "passionate"! Because Anna is all those things, and I love that about her. →  Be sensitive. Yeah, being sensitive isn't really something I learned while climbing mountains and harvesting ice. But ever since I met Anna, I've been trying my best. →  Just ignore your feelings. Does that work? I don't know if that's a good idea.

Need any help?

Hey, Player. You know Goofy, right? →  Yeah! We're friends. [continue to next line] →  I know him. [continue to next line] →   Who? You know, Goofy. He runs the market Stall in the Meadow? player Of course I know Goofy. I'm just joking around. Why do you ask? He seems like a nice guy. I'd like to get to know him better. It'd be great to make some more friends around the Village. Does he have any hobbies I could talk to him about? player Hmmm. Goofy likes... →  ...fishing. Fishing, huh? I can work with that. →  ...talking to people. Oh... I'm not generally a big talker, but I am a good listener. Maybe that'll work. Thanks, Player.

Something on your mind?

Player, some people think it's weird that I spend so much time in the woods. Do you? →  Not at all. Good to know. →  Yeah, a bit. Oh, Hmm... →  It's okay to be weird. Thanks... I guess everyone's weird in their own way, right? The forest is just what I'm used to. It's simple there. Just me and Sven. The trees. The birds. A guy can really think, ya know? →  That sounds nice. It is. It's always worked for me. →  It's where you grew up, right? Yeah. The forest and Troll Valley. Guess that's why I feel at home there. →  Just don't stay alone for too long. I promise I won't. Don't want to lose touch with everyone I care about. And besides, there aren't a lot of carrots in the forest for Sven.

Something wrong?

Player, you've seen those odd-looking, sharp plants, right? I think they're called Night Thorns. →  Believe me, I've seen them. It seems like they're everywhere. →  They're kinda hard to miss. It seems like they're everywhere. →  I have to deal with them constantly. Sorry. That doesn't sound like fun. The trolls believe that everything in nature has a purpose. Do you think we could make something useful out of them? →  That would be dangerous. They're magic. Oh, wow. It is not smart to mess with magic. →  Like what? Oh, I don't know... tea? Thorny wreaths? Actually... →  Maybe if we purified them... That sounds like magic. Which I try not to mess with. I'll just leave dealing with the Night Thorns to the magic professionals. Mainly you.

What are you thinking right now?

Reindeer are better than people. Agree or disagree? →  Yeah. People suck. Well, that's kind of harsh. I mean a lot of people aren't great. But most of them are okay. And a few are even incredible. →  People smell better. Okay, you've got me there. A definite advantage. →  I like both equally. Me too! Well, most people. ... But ALL reindeer!

What are you up to today?

So, I was thinking of climbing an icy mountain today. →  That sounds fun. It is fun. And I like the feeling of accomplishment when I get to the top of a tall mountain. I can't wait to look down and see the whole Valley in one glance. →  That sounds dangerous. It can be, but I've been climbing mountains my whole life. →  Why? Why does anyone climb a mountain? To get to the top. I can't wait to look down and see the whole Valley in one glance. →  That sounds beautiful. I'm sure it will be. Sights like that really make you understand your place in the world. →  I bet you'll enjoy that. I will. I bet it's gonna be incredible. →  Don't slip! Don't worry. I'm an expert. I'll be fine.

You look upset. [while raining]

Ugh. Working in the rain is definitely not my favorite thing. →  Tell me about it. You get wet, which means you're cold. And rain turns everything muddy. And if it gets colder, your wet gear freezes! Which is dangerous because frozen gear is hard to use and breaks easily... Did I mention I don't like working in the rain? →  Isn't snow worse than rain? No. Snow is much better than rain. Snow you can just shake off. Snow just makes things cold. And I like the cold... When it's dry. →  Except for working in sleet. You're right. Sleet is definitely worse than rain.

You seem confused.

Player. Do you think the magic here is strange? →  Very strange. Yes! Thank you! →  I think it's more magical. Right... because it's magic. But the magical stuff I've seen here is definitely strange. →  I'm starting to think of it as normal. Really? Huh. Because the magical stuff I've seen here is definitely strange. This isn't the kind of magic I'm used to. Some things here just don't make sense to me. →  Yeah. Me neither. Phew! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. →  Is it different from the trolls' magic? Totally different! They're love experts and never confuse things or make you lose your memory. →  Is it like Elsa's magic? No. Elsa's magic is ice and snow. Pretty useful stuff, actually, speaking as an ice expert.

Do you want to know anything about me?

Player, what's your favorite season? →  Winter. TODOResponseToAnswerWinter →  Summer. TODOResponseToAnswerSummer →  Spring. TODOResponseToAnswerSpring →  Fall. Fall is so pretty! I like to think of it as early-winter. Ooh! I like winter too! In fact, I was born in winter. It's such a good tiem to stay in and get cozy around a fire! What do you like to do in winter? →  Go sledding. TODOResponseToAnswerGoSledding →  Make snowmen. TODOResponseToAnswerMakeSnowmen →  Have a snowball fight. Oh, you should really meet my friend Marshmallow! He is excellent at throwing snowballs... and snow butts.

• Got a question?

Got a question?

Player, what does the word "hyperbole" mean? →  It means something is exaggerated. TODOResponseToAnswerCorrectDef1 →  It's when a bole is very hyper. Interesting. I love learning new things! →  I don't know. TODOResponseToAnswerIDKDef1 Next question... What does "defenestrate" mean? →  It means to throw someone out a window. TODOResponseToAnswerCorrect2 →  It means to defend a strate. You are so knowledgeable. Thank you, Player! →  No clue. TODOResponseToAnswerIDKDef2

• How's your day going?

• Is there anything I need to know?

• Something on your mind?

Something on your mind?

I've been thinking, Player. WALL-E and I have a lot in common. Do you agree? player I guess you do. After all... →  ...you're both curious about new things. TODOResponseToAnswerBothCurious →  ...you're both kind of tiny. TODOResponseToAnswerBothTiny →  ...you both make a lot of interesting noises. That's true. Though I do know more words. Oh, and don't forget... ...we were both brought to life by magic. →  WALL-E's not magic. He's a robot. TODOResponseToAnswerWallENotMagic →  I guess that's kind of true... TODOResponseToAnswerKindaTrue →  Does being so similar make you friends? Well, it does help to have things in common. But I think what makes us friends is that we're friends!

• What are you up to?

• What's up?

• You look like you have a question...

• You seem especially happy today.

You seem especially happy today.

You know what one of my favorite things is? Having favorite things! gasp* Maybe I have favorite things I don't even know about. Quick! Player, ask me what my favorite something is! →  What's your favorite season? TODOResponseToFavoriteSeason →  Who's your favorite person? TODOResponseToFavoritePerson →  Who's your favorite reindeer? That's easy. Sven! He tells the best bedtime stories. And he's so good at voices. Let's do another! Ask me for another favorite thing. →  What's your favorite animal? TODOResponseToFavoriteAnimal →  What's your favorite book? TODOResponseToFavoriteBook →  What's your favorite color? Oh, that's a hard one. There are so many to choose from! I'll have to think about this for a while...

Tangled

Mother Gothel

Anything you need?

Player, you have my attention. Shall I give you some motherly advice? →  Okay! Oh, it's so nice to have someone appreciate my kindness! Unlike some ungrateful children who will remain unnamed. →  You're not my mother. True, but I give very good advice. →   Your advice is kind of toxic. Toxic! Oh, I'm wounded, Player! I come to you offering nothing but support, and you insult me. player sigh* Fine. Give me some advice. What would you like advice about, dear? →  Life. Well, life is a race, Player. If you're not winning, you're losing. And most people are forever losing. You must make sure you win -- always. →  Romance. Oh my advice about romance is simple... Don't. It's never worth it. You can only depend on yourself. →  Reasons I shouldn't leave my tower. I see. Now you're the one teasing me. I'll remember that.

Do you never tire of looking at yourself?

Ahh, I never tire of looking at my cheekbones. High cheekbones are universally attractive, and mine are particularly fine. Good bone structure is the foundation of beauty. →  That's kind of creepy. Only for those who don't share it, dear. →  I imagine you like that because it doesn't fade with age. Very insightful. Now be a dear and never speak to me of age again. →  Beauty comes from the inside. People say that, but they never mean it.

• I love taking care of the Valley. [Added 1.3]

Something bothering you?

Have you seen that absurd stall in the Meadow? Run by... who is it... Doofy? The selection is so paltry. →  What do you mean? The wares are nothing but bland, common items. →  I like Goofy's Stall. And I'm sure it's fine if you need something common, such as apples. →  Excuse me. His name is Goofy. Whoever he is, he has an inexcusably sparse stock. It's completely useless if you're in need of more... unique... ingredients. →  Like what? Well, as a purely theoretical example... A youth serum. Or parsnips. →  Are you gonna brew evil potions? Evil potions? Never. Perish the thought. And don't ever confuse me with Ursula again. →  You could talk to Goofy about it. I've spoken to that... individual. I fear that whatever changes he attempts to make will be less than inspiring.

What's wrong?

Player, I'm feeling a bit run-down. Unappreciated. Alone. Say something to make me feel better. →  Your hair is so dark and glossy. I've often thought it's one of my best features. →  Your dress sense is on point. It is, isn't it? This is velvet, you know. →  You're capable and cunning. Mmm. That's true, I am. Go on. There must be more. →  You're absolutely ruthless. I'll assume you meant that as a compliment. Ahh, I feel much better now. Thank you, dear. →  You're a strong, independent woman. I am, aren't I? Ahh, I feel much better now. Thank you, dear. →  Your skin has very few wrinkles! Correction, dear -- my skin has NO wrinkles. Clearly, your eyesight leaves something to be desired.

• You know so many things. [Added 1.3]

You know so many things. [Added 1.3]

Player, I feel that I must share a bit of my knowledge of the world, so you have a chance to survive out here on your own... Now, you must have noticed the flowers growing around the Village. So beautiful and majestic... like me! Ha-ha-ha! →  I love flowers! TODOResponseToAnswerILoveFlowers →  What about them? TODOResponseToAnswerWhatAboutFlowers →  Ugh, flowers... Player, you really don't have an eye for beauty, do you? Oh well, not everyone can appreciate the finer things. Still, you should remember that every part of the Valley is home to one or two specific types of flowers... Some flowers even grow on the sand of Dazzle Beach. Hydrangeas and Sunflowers to be exact.

You look like you have a question.

Tell me, what do you think magic is, Player? →  Power. Oh, you couldn't be more wrong →  Cheap trickery. Ha! That skepticism will serve you well. But you're wrong. →  I'm not sure. Well, at least you're willing to admit your ignorance. Magic is simply an advantage. A tool to be utilized to meet one's goals. →  That's very cynical. Perhaps to you. To me, it's merely practical. →  That's very practical. Perhaps to you. To me, it's merely practical. →  I believe there's more to magic than that. And people will use that belief to take advantage of you.

You look worried.

Player! Did I see a gray hair in my reflection? Look at my hair. Is any of it gray?! →   No gray hairs. Oh, what a relief! One must be very careful about one's appearance, you know. →  You look great! That's kind of you to say. Of course it's true, but it's still sweet of you to say it. →  How old are you? Didn't anyone ever teach you that it's impolite to ask a woman's age? And I know you'd never be impolite to me. Isn't that right, dear? →  I see a wrinkle. AHHHH! NO! MY BEAUTIFUL SKIN! →   I see one gray hair. Grrr... I must find Rapunzel quickly. If only she cared about her poor, dear mother. →  You're such a good mother. I am, aren't I? Why ever would Rapunzel run away? She's terribly ungrateful. →  You only want her hair. What a horrid thing to say! I love my daughter. It's the cruelty of the world that wants to take advantage of her gift. →   Lots of gray hairs! No. NO! I'm becoming old and withered! →  You look fine. Do I? Well. Perhaps for now. But this is just the start. After the gray comes the wrinkles. I will NOT lose my youthfulness! →  There's nothing wrong with getting old. Ha! You're almost as deluded as my daughter. When you're old, the world discards you. You become... irrelevant. I WILL stay young, no matter the cost! →  Yep. So cruel. When YOU are old, I hope YOU have an unfeeling reprobate who taunts you with it.

You seem to have a lot on your mind.

Player, good. Let's talk through a purely hypothetical situation. If you were, say, tracking your wayward daughter through the forest... How would you convince her to come home? →  Ask her nicely. Yes, I'll just ask her politely to stop acting out and sit in her tower like a good girl. You've obviously never met a teenager. →  Trick her. Well, of course that's my instinct as well. I'm glad you agree, Player. →  Let her go. Never! Rapunzel belongs with me, and NOTHING will ever change that.

• You seem to have a lot on your mind. [Added 1.3]

Mickey & Friends

Donald Duck

Hello, Donald!

Hiya, Player! Say, who do you think's the best entertainer? Mickey or me? →  Mickey. Aw phooey! Everybody always picks Mickey. →  You. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Thanks, Player! →  Me, of course. Drat! I didn't see that coming.

• How are you today? [Added 1.3]

How do you like your neighbors?

Oh boy. My Uncle Scrooge is already here in the Village. →   You don't sound thrilled. Well, Uncle Scrooge and I don't always agree on things. But he's my family, and you know what that means. →  You have to stick together. Yep! He's always there for me when I need him. And I'll always be there for him. →  Friends are more important. It's not a competition. My friends AND my family are both important to me. →  No, I don't. Well, family's important to me. They're not always perfect, but we always stick together. →  He's been very helpful. That's great. But I'd be surprised if he helped you do anything for free. →  He's kind of greedy. I'm not sure about that. But he does love his money. He even has a special display case for the first dime he earned!

How is your day going?

sigh* Why do bad things always happen to me? →   Because of your attitude! WHAT?! I don't have an attitude! What makes you think I have an attitude?! →  Face it, you're grumpy! Only when I have a reason to be! If everything's going the way I like it, I'm perfectly pleasant. →  Suuuuurrre you don't. Sarcasm, huh? Well, I only get mad when I have a reason! If everything's going the way I like it, I'm perfectly pleasant. →  I'm sorry, Donald. That's okay. I know I can be grumpy sometimes. But only when things aren't going my way! →   Look at all the good things around you! Such as... →  Your friends! Aw, you're right. My friends are pretty stupendous! →  The Village! Aw, you're right. It's great having all my friends in one place... even Goofy. Heh-heh-heh. →  Me! You're right! I AM glad to have a friend like you! →   What happened this time? I was reeling in a great big fish when Goofy came by, tripped over my bucket of worms... Knocked the bait in the water, and scared away all the fish! A whole day of fishing, and I've got nothing to show for it. →  I'm sorry, Donald. Thanks, Player. At least someone cares. →  Maybe bad things DO always happen to you! That's what I've been saying!

Why do you look so upset?

Hey! Player! Who do you think you are? I just heard you call me a blockhead! →   I didn't say that! You didn't? I could've sworn I heard you say that. →  I didn't. Well... okay. I'm sorry. Guess I made a mistake. →  You misheard. Hmm... maybe. But I'm gonna keep my eye on you. →  I called you a nincompoop. WHY YOU...!!! →   Donald, calm down. Don't be a hothead. I'm perfectly calm! Don't say that I'm not calm!!! First you call me a blockhead, and then you say I'm a hothead?!?! →  I didn't call you anything! Even if you didn't the first time, you just called me a hothead! ~!^$#%@!&?#! →  You are clearly angry. I AM PERFECTLY CALM!!!!!!!!! →  What a blockhead. WHAT?!!! Why I oughta... →  You are a blockhead. Oh, that's the last straw!!! WHAT?!!! Why I oughta...

You look agitated.

My friends always say I have a bit of a temper, but I don't know what they're talking about. What do YOU do when you're really mad? Not that I'm asking for any particular reason... →   I meditate to try to calm down. Meditate? How do you do that? →  Close your eyes and breathe deeply... in... out... ... ... ... zzzzzzzzzzz... →  Stand on your head and spin for three minutes.

Goofy

Do you have a question?

Gawrsh, we never had Night Thorns before the Forgetting. Why do you think they showed up? →  They're just weeds. You think? Well at least we can get rid of 'em like weeds! Cut 'em down, dig 'em up, and make the Valley safer for nicer plants. →  I think they're attracted to negative emotions. Hmm... that's an interesting idea. I know I'm unhappy when Thorns are around. But am I unhappy 'cause of the Thorns? Or are there Thorns 'cause I'm unhappy? Gawrsh, that's a pickle of a question. →  They're probably a metaphor. A metaphor? You don't say. And all along I thought they were more like a simile.

Do you have time to talk?

Gawrsh, Player, you've got a sort of curious look on your face. Do you have a question for me? →  How do you stay so cheerful all the time? Well, I'm not always cheerful, but I sure try to be. If I'm feelin' down, I try to think about a real good memory of spending time with my friends. That's sure to put a big smile on my face! →  Why did you open a Stall? I sorta just stumbled into it! I was walking down the street with some apples and ran into Uncle Scrooge. He asked how much they were, but I said he could just have one! He said I shouldn't be giving' away somethin' for nothing. So, I asked him what I should do instead. Then, before I knew it, I'd opened this Stall! →  What's your favorite kind of sandwich? Aw, that's easy. Every sandwich! Today, I'm really lookin' forward to the pickle and peanut butter on rye one I made last night.

Howdy, Player. I'm doin' a customer satisfaction survey, and you're one of my most loyal customers. Is there anything you'd like to change about my Stall? →  Lower prices. TODOResponsetoAnswerLowerPrices →  A more diversified inventory. Gawrsh, I try to change up my stock as much as I can... ...but don't worry. I'll keep looking for more stuff to sell! →  No complaints. You're doing great! Really? Wow! Uncle Scrooge is always tellin' me I gotta be more savvy about business. But I guess all that really matters is making your customers happy. Thanks, Player. I sure do appreciate the feedback.

Tell me about your plans for the weekend.

Well, you're always welcome to join me if you change your mind! →  Camping? Like sleeping outside? Ew. Well, if you ever change your mind, come find me. See ya around, Player!

• What are you up to today? [Added 1.3]

What are you up to today? [Added 1.3]

Gawrsh, Player, I could use your help. Uncle Scrooge says I should do regular inventory of all my stock to make sure nothing's gone missing. Got any advice on the best way to do that? →  Count everything you have in stock. TODOResponseToAnswerCountEverything →  Beats me. Sounds like a lot of work. Well, Uncle Scrooge says I've gotta count everything I've got in stock... ...then count it again in a little while and see if they match up. So you've got to count it all... just so you can count it again later? [presumably should be Player, but is Goofy] Yep. But should I count stuff by the piece or by the pound? Apples would be easy to count by the piece, but seeds could take a while. I'll keep thinkin' on it. Thanks, pal!

What can you tell me about yourself?

You know, the Goof family has a long and distinguished history. →  Neat! You bet it is! →  Really? For really really! →  I don't believe you. Aw, I'm not kiddin'. If you like, I could tell you about my Uncle M. Angelo Goof, Cousin Wernher von Goof, or Aunt Goophelia! →  M. Angelo Goof? Uncle M. Angelo Goof's an artist! He's into post cubical expressionism and la-de-dadaism. I don't always understand his paintings, but they sure are interesting to look at! →  Wernher von Goof? My cousin Wernher's a certified genius! Yep, he's a real smart fella. You can tell 'cause he has that poofy white hair geniuses have. A-hyuck! →  Aunt Goophelia? Dear old Aunt Goophelia... She brings her kitchen with her whenever she visits. Ooh, and you should taste her Torpedo Chicken. It's guaranteed to sink the strongest stomach.

What's it like to have a Stall here?

It's real inspiring to run a Stall in the same town as Donald's Uncle Scrooge. He's a savvy customer, and an even savvier businessman! →  Yeah, he's awesome! Yep, I hope someday I'm as good at business as he is. He's taught me a lot about how to run a Stall. →  I don't like how miserly he is. Gawrsh, I think he's just real proud of all the hard work he's done. And he's taught me a lot about how to run a Stall. →  I don't know him very well. Then you can take my word for it! Scrooge has taught me a lot about how to run a Stall. He's even got a motto. Let me see if I can remember it. He says you gotta be smarter than the... →  ...dummies Nah. I don't think that's it. →   ...smarties. And you gotta be tougher than the... →   ...toughies. And you gotta make your money... →  ...triangle. Nah. I don't think that's it. →  ...circular. Nah.

Folks especially love my meatballs and how I serve 'em. I whack 'em towards ya with a ping-pong paddle so you can catch 'em in a bowl! Pretty fun, huh? player ... Maybe you can do something else. [reprompt] →   Building things? I'm great at construction work! Hammering, and sawing, and pouring cement are my specialties. Though I oughta tell you: There've been a few accidents on some of the jobs I've worked. player How many? Five hundred and thirty six. What're the odds, right? player ... Maybe you can do something else. [reprompt] →   Cleaning? Sure, I'm real good at cleaning. Oh, except for the time the vacuum escaped and got the cat. And the time I accidentally set the windows on fire by exploding a broom. player ... Maybe you can do something else. [reprompt] →   Fishing? Oh, I go fishing all the time! And I catch lots of fish, too. I've even got a signature cast I can show ya. And you won't fall in more than nine times out of ten. player ... Maybe you can do something else.

Do you have a question?

Do you believe in magic, Player? →  Yes. Me too! I've seen all sorts of magical things around here. You should see Merlin when he's packing for a trip. He can fit his whole house into just one suitcase! →   No. Gosh, I didn't expect you to say that. Well, if that's the case, what do you think it is that Merlin does? →  Elaborate lighting tricks. If that's true, those are some really impressive light tricks! →  Swamp gas. Huh? I didn't know swamp gas could do all that. →  I'm kidding... I do believe in magic. Me too! I've seen all sorts of magical things around here. You should see Merlin when he's packing for a trip. He can fit his whole house into just one suitcase! →  I literally know a wizard, Mickey. Heh.

Certain crops seem to grow a lot faster in certain parts of the Valley. player Hm... I guess it must be the climate and soil... Yep. So if you wanna grow a lot of vegetables fast, you've gotta start lots of gardens all over the Village. player Thanks for the tip. When it comes to gardening... →  ...I'm great at it, but I can always use more help. TODOResponseToAnswerGreatAtGardening →  ...I'm getting better, but still need some tips. TODOResponseToAnswerGettingBetterAtGardening →  ...I'm hopeless! I need all the help I can get. Aw, don't sell yourself short, pal. Just keep planting things and harvesting 'em. I bet you'll get the hang of it soon.

Mickey... you're really famous, aren't you?

You think so? Gosh, I just like getting to do fun stuff and make friends. →  What's your favorite part of being famous? Aw, it's not about bein' famous.

I can't believe how much you can fit in there! →  I'm exhausted from lugging all this stuff around! TODOResponseI'mExhaustedFromLugging Just remember, if it ever gets too full for ya, you could... ...try puttin' some stuff in a chest in your House for safekeeping. Some folks around the Valley even have a bunch of different chests in different colors for all the different kinds of stuff they like to have. →  Sounds like a great idea! TODOResponseSoundsLikeGreatIdea →  Sounds a little TOO organized for me. I understand. I know I'd have to write down what I put where. Like, are my other yellow shoes in the yellow chest for "yellow" or the silver chest for "shoes"? Ha-ha!

Tell me about your past.

You know, as an actor, I've gotten to do all sorts of fun jobs. If you're curious about any of 'em, I'd be happy to tell you. →   Steamboat operator. That was the first job anybody got to see me do! And Minnie, too! I had a great time whistling and driving that steamboat down the river. →  Sounds fun! It was! Especially since Minnie and I got to work together. →  Sounds boring. Nah. It was great! I got to be out in the fresh air and work with Minnie. I loved it! →  Sounds muggy. Well yeah, it was a steamboat! Ha-ha! →   Sorcerer's apprentice. Gosh, that one was a lot of work. Carrying all those water buckets was harder than it looked. But it got really fun after I made that big mistake... →  What mistake? Well, I tried to do some magic. And it kinda got out of hand. →  Did it involve brooms? Yep, LOTS and LOTS of brooms. Ha-ha! →  Musketeer. Aw, that was a blast! Goofy, Donald and I got to battle with swords and race across the countryside. It was awesome!

• What are you up to? [Added 1.3]

What are you up to?

I'm just takin' care of some chores around the Village. But you know all about that. You're always runnin' around pulling out Night Thorns or digging holes or any of the other things you do. →  I just like helping people! TODOResponseToAnswerJustLikeHelpingPeople →  Ugh. It's exhausting being me. Oh gosh. Well, don't forget... You can always ask us to come along and we'll help ya take care of all your Dreamlight Duties. Of course, we'll be a lot more help if it's somethin' we're good at. Ha-ha!

What do you think of my work?

Gosh, Player, you sure are doing a swell job fixing up the Village. I know it's a lot of work! Are you gettin' tired? →  I'm raring to go! Awesome! Be sure to let me know how I can help. →  Maybe a little. Well, be sure to take a break if you need it. You can't forget to take care of yourself. →  I'm exhausted. Oh no!

Say, Player, I really like what you're doin' to spruce up the Valley. →  Aw, thanks, Mickey! TODOResponseToAnswerAwThanksMickey →  It's nothing, really. [continue to next line] →  Somebody had to clean this place up... Gosh, uh... we tried before you got here, but none of us could get rid of those Night Thorns. Hey, I just remembered! I wanted to pass on a little somethin' I learned... Make sure you leave room so you can make a garden big enough to grow lots of different kinds of crops. Ya never know what you might need around here!

You seem preoccupied.

Say, Player, do you have any friends who have a short temper? →   A few. Gosh, I think everybody knows somebody with a short fuse. Like my friend Donald Duck. When he thinks something's not fair or somebody's being treated badly, he can get real mad real fast. What do you do when that happens? →  Empathize with them. You mean you let your friend know you understand why they're angry? Wow, that's real nice. I bet they appreciate that. →  Give them space. That's probably smart. I know Donald never stays mad for long. You sure are a great friend, Player. →  I'm not sure. Yeah, sometimes it's hard to know. With Donald, I've found that the best thing to do is just give him some space. Of course, if I can fix whatever he's mad about, that helps, too. →  No... All my friends are very calm. Then I guess you haven't met Donald Duck yet! Ha-ha! But don't worry. He's a great guy. I couldn't ask for a better friend. →   There is Donald Duck. That's just who I was thinking about. When he thinks something's not fair or somebody's being treated badly, he can get real mad real fast. What do you do when that happens? →  Empathize with them.

And I especially love getting to make new friends! →  Is it hard to walk in heels all the time? I guess I'm just used to it. And I always make sure to have a wide heel so it's very comfortable and safe.

Do you like living here?

I've been thinking of writing a song about the Valley. But I'm having trouble thinking of a good name for it. →  "Dreamlight Ditty." Oh, that's adorable! Thank you! →  "The Valley Twist." That would be a perfect name for a dance tune! →  "Let It Go." Hmm... Sounds familiar. Hee-hee!

What do you look for in a partner? →  Humor. Me too! Mickey's so funny. It's one of my favorite things about him. →  Intelligence. That's very important! I love how clever Mickey is. He can find a smart solution to the stickiest problem. →  Money. Oh. That's never been very important to us, but I hope you find whatever makes you happy. →   You seem perfect for each other. I think we are! But every relationship takes work. Mickey can be rather impulsive. And sometimes I can be a little stubborn. So, we do have the occasional argument. What do you do when you argue with someone you love? →  Try to win. I can understand the temptation to try and argue your point. But when Mickey and I disagree, we always try to look at it from the other's point of view. →  Try to understand. That's a very good idea. I know it can be difficult in the moment. But I think it's wonderful that you try! →  Cry. Oh, I can understand what you mean. Being upset with someone you love can hurt. I hope you always find a way through it. →  You look really similar.

Oh, I'm not sure I'd go that far. There's a reason they're called "villains"! Besides... I think it means we have the chance to show them the value of kindness. If they see how much good comes from helping others, maybe they'll change their perspectives. →  That would be great! Wouldn't it? Let's be sure to set good examples. →  Kindness? Sounds boring.

How's it going? [Added 1.3]

I've got another piece of advice for ya. When it comes to investments, you've got to diversify your portfolio. →  What does that mean? It means don't put all your Star Coins in one basket. →  Like... invest in lots of different kinds of stuff? Ay, you've got the right idea. There are lots of ways to make money in Dreamlight Valley. A little bit of fishing here, a little bit of mining there... But the best investment is real estate. Keep clearing away Night Thorns and opening up more of Dreamlight Valley. And always be ready to go on an adventure to the far side of the Village. There are lots of precious gems you cannae find if you stick to the Meadow!

You know what this Village needs? A money bin so I can go for a swim. →  We can't afford that. Not yet, perhaps. But a few savvy business decisions and a daring adventure or two, and you'll see. It's how I've made one fortune, and how I'll make another! →  You can't swim in money. Not with that attitude you can't! I've spent many a year perfecting diving and backstroking through gold. →  You could swim in the ocean. And get salt in my feathers?! Who do you think I am?! The world's second-richest duck?

What are you up to today? [Added 1.3]

I've been reminiscing about my time in the Yukon near Mooseneck Glacier. The valleys between those mountains... they were so... so... →  ...pure and beautiful? TODOResponseToAnswerPureBeautiful →  ...clean and untouched? TODOResponseToAnswerCleanUntouched →  ...full of potential for profit? Aye, there were plenty of ways to turn a profit. But I appreciated them for more than just that. No fancy meal has tasted half as fine as the beans I cooked on my own campfire under the Klondike stars. Before stock options and crop futures and compound interest, my tools were my gold pan, my pick, and my shovel. With those, I worked the icy creeks and frozen tundra... ...and earned every cent with my own two hands. →  Sounds amazing! TODOResponseToAnswerSoundsAmazing →  Sounds like a lot of work. Aye, it was, but it was noble work. Sometimes I think more than gold or assets in banks or properties around the world... ...I'm richest in memories.

What's your success story?

I'm Scrooge McDuck! I made my fortune being tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties. →  How tough were the toughies? Oh, they were the toughest. Yukon miners and Beagle Boy bandits! But I out-hiked, out-swam, and out-explored them all! →  How smart were the smarties? Oh, they were the smartest. Cunning foxes and ruthless entrepreneurs. But I outfoxed the foxes and out-ruthed the ruthless. Is "out-ruthed" a word? Well, if it is, I did it! →  Never heard of you? No? Well then, can you show me to the rock you've been living under? I've made many a fortune exploring places remote and rarely traveled.

You must have a lot of stories to tell.

Have I ever told you about any of my great adventures, Player? Searching a Scottish castle? Hunting for gold in the Klondike? →  What were you searching for in those castles? I was searching for a family treasure hidden in the McDuck family's ancestral castle in Scotland. The treasure had been lost for years, but I found it with an X-ray machine! There was also a meddling ghost, but Donald and I got the better of him! →  Did you find a lot of gold in the Klondike? That I did! I found a golden rock the size of a goose egg. It was the start of my fortune! I used it to buy land in Duckburg. And the rest, as they say, is history. →   Tell me something different. Aye, I'll tell you the story of how I earned my first dime! I was a young lad in Glasgow, earning my way shining shoes. My very first customer was a ditch digger with an inch of mud on his boots! I scrubbed with all the strength in my small body and left his boots spotless. But he paid me with an American dime, which was useless in Glasgow! The cheat! I vowed then to always be honest in my dealings and earn my money square.

You're a businessman, right, Scrooge?

Aye. Specifically, I consider myself an adventure-capitalist. I made much of my fortune searching for treasure, and investing it wisely. Do you have some questions about money? I'd be happy to answer 'em for you. →  How did you get so rich? By being smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies! I'm not like some folks, born to riches. I was born to a poor family in Scotland and earned every dime I've got! →  Why do you care so much about money? Aye, that's a fair question. And I'll answer it true. I was born to a poor family in Scotland. I know what it means to not have what you need. So, I know the real value of money. →  How do I make as much money as you? Well, you have to work hard and be clever and stubborn, too. And it doesn't hurt to be lucky. But most importantly, you have to treat folks fairly. Not like some who got where they are by cheating, and taking advantage of folks. And the more money they have, the more they cheat. →  How do we stop them? Ooh, that's a hard question. Money's a powerful thing. You've got to have rules about how money can be spent, and how workers can be treated. But those that get rich by cheating will spend to keep cheating. So you've always gotta keep your eyes open. →  Why aren't you like that? Aye, well... I've done some things I'm not proud of. But I like to think I've learned my lesson. I suppose it's my family, and the good folks I've worked with. I wouldn't want to do anything to change how they see me. →  Cheating sounds fun. What?! Cheaters are nothing but no-good, spineless, rotten apples! Trust me: Nothing worthwhile ever comes from cheating.

• Got a question for me?

Got a question for me?

I've gotta know something, because when I tell Antonio about you, he's gonna ask. What's your favorite animal? →  Chigüiro. TODOResponseToChigüiro →  Jaguar. TODOResponseToJaguar →  Butterfly. TODOResponseToButterfly →  It's too hard to choose! I understand that. Antonio can never pick a favorite either. He says they're all his friends.

PLAYER, how are you? Just checking in. You do a lot around here, which kind of reminds me of my sister Luisa. And people who take on a lot... well, sometimes they take on too much. →  I'm just getting started! TODOResponseToAnswerJustGettingStarted →  Maybe I should relax some more. TODOResponseToAnswerIShouldRelax →  I'm cracking under all the pressure!!! ¡Ayyy! That's not good. And, in case you didn't know, your eyelid's twitching. If you're overdoing it, you need to take some time for yourself.

• Some weather we're having, huh? (when raining)

Some weather we're having, huh?

When the weather's like this, I always think of my Tía Pepa. →  Why is that? Tía Pepa's gift is that her moods can change the weather. →  Is her gift being able to predict the weather? TODOResponseToAnswerIsHerGift →  I bet her gift has to do with the weather. TODOResponsetoIBetHerGift It's really easy to tell how she's feeling. You just have to look up!
