"Dear player,
How is the country life going for you? It's been lonely here without you, but I'm proud of what you're doing.
Love, Dad
P.S. Found an envelope with some money Grandpa left for you. "
“Thank you! I thought I was done for... I've been stuck in this cave for months!
...One more cave mushroom salad and I would've gone off the deep end... *shudder* ...so rubbery...
Anyway... I'm Professor Snail. I've been conducting a survey of this island's flora and fauna for the last year. Truly a remarkable place! Well, I think I'll go back to my tent and freshen up a little. I'm afraid I smell like mushrooms...
Hey... you should stop by the tent sometime! An enterprising individual like yourself could be a major asset in my projects... hee hee! Farewell.”
