"Uh, excuse me, is that your Ramster?" What? There's a human man with a big beard in the water next to the dock? He doesn't look like any of the pirates!
You and Ramster peek over the dock at the human man.
"Who are you?"
The human man scratches his beard and looks up at you and Ramster and says "Uh... my name is Yuji, I represent the Nickelneck Merchants and Tradesmen Association."
...You don't know what that is!
Yuji glances at Ramster and then looks up at you. "I, uh, I couldn't help noticing how well that Ramster of yours took care of that other mon!"
Ramster brushes his front paws together and says "Ram-ram!"
You crouch down on the edge of the dock and grin down at Yuji.
"I'm Mashi!"
"Nice to meet you, Mashi." Yuji wades closer and climbs out of the water onto the dock next to <span class="mu-r">the spilled pile of coins</span> and starts scooping them back into the ripped sack. "Uh, those pirates have been causing us a lot of trouble lately. And, uh, nobody can figure out where their hideout is." Yuji wads the ripped sack of coins up and stands back up and looks down at you and smiles and says "Maybe we can work out some kind of deal?"
[SFX: stomach rumbling]
You and Ramster can't help holding <span class="mu-r">your stomachs</span> because you're both so hungry!
Yuji looks at Ramster and then looks at you and says "Uh, why don't we talk about this over lunch?"
Ramster is nodding his head! "Ram-ram!"
Yuji points at <span class="mu-r">a semi truck with a long trailer</span>. Yuji puts the coins in the semi truck and then leads you around to the back of the trailer and rolls up the door and climbs into the trailer and starts looking around. "Uh, let's see what we have..." He sticks his head into a big box and holds up a jar. "Uh, how about a <span class="mu-r">jar of preserved sweet berries</span>?"
Ramster holds out his front paws and says "Ram-ram!" and them pops open the jar lid and scoops out a bunch of berries and stuffs them into his mouth and says "Rmm-rmm!"
Yuji looks around in the back of the trailer again and then he reaches into a big box and pulls out <span class="mu-r">a cardboard box with a picture of fruit on it</span>. "Uh, and here's a <span class="mu-r">jumbo-sized box of dried fruit</span> if you want it, Mashi."
You're nodding your head!
"Thanks, Yuji!"
You open the cardboard box and take out a piece and eat it and then eat another piece and another piece! You didn't realize you were so hungry!
Yuji digs through another big box and finds <span class="mu-r">a can of salty fish</span> and then you and Ramster and Yuji all sit on the edge of the trailer eating. "Uh, so about that job offer..."
>Try to set a trap for the pirates with Yuji
>Pretend to join the pirates with Ramster
>Ask Yuji to drive you toward the ancient tower
