Bob: Thank you.
Silence
Deano: Howabou... CLUNK !!
Bob hits Deano over the head with a frying pan
Bob: Nope, we're not there yet Deano. But thank you for not asking me again.

?: Oh... Just another towner are ya ?
Bob: Well, kinda... I left home to find a better life.
?: That's pretty noble of ya.
Bob: Yeah, I guess.
Who are you ?
?: Name's Iggy, I'm an adventurer too. Been out in the wild for years, lookin' to see the world, especially because I'm goin' blind in one eye, so I figure by travelin' alot, I'll see enough of the world's beauty before I lose my sight.
Bob: That's rough...
Iggy: Yeah, but I manage...
Iggy: I'm young, but as a skitter leaf, I lose my sight at a young age...
Bob: That sucks...
Iggy: Yeah, but seein' the world is what's keepin' me motivated.
Bob: wow. Hey, I wonder...
Iggy: yeah ?
Bob: maybe you could join with us, and find what you're seeking by doing so.
Iggy: Sounds like a deal, uhhh... whats yer name ?
Bob: It's Bob.
Iggy: Bob ! All right then. But It's gettin' dark out pretty quick.
Maybe we'd benefit from campin' here for now...
Bob: I agree. By the way, my sleeping friend over there is Deano. He's not so sure about the adventuring part of this... But, he'll see, I'm sure.
Iggy: well, let's get the camp site together at least. Got any food on ya ?
Bob: Yeah, actually. I brought enough for about a week...
Iggy: That'll do for now.
Iggy: let's dig in !
Bob: Right !

Bonus Info:
Character Profile: Bob
Age: 19 - Height: Medium - Weight: Average - Gender: Male - Species: Thorn Pikmin
X-tra Info:
Bob was once a highly respected individual in his home town. Even though he was young, many other pikmin looked up to him for guidance. One day while out for a stroll, he had noticed some green nectar (food coloring)
and he was hungry from not eating that morning, so he ate some. The results were't pretty, as he had gone from respected individual, to village idiot. To show how dumb he was, the mayor basically humiliated him, and was "trying to teach him a lesson". Bob hated the thought of being a sideshow freak in his own home town, so he finally decided to take off, and travel the world in search of a new home town. He plans to make sure anyone would be accepted for who they were, unlike he was. His pal Deano comes along as well, but not without some hesitation. Bob hopes he can show the world that you are who you are, and to not let anyone tell you otherwise.
