Two more screenshots--Mushroom Gatherer and the Captive Mermaid--she gives you a quest to take a letter to her sister in the ocean under the waves and to bring her back a conch shell so she can once more hear the sound of the ocean which, in captivity, she'll never really hear again. She was captured into a circus side show. I haven't coded her dialogue into the game yet but this is what it says more or less:
Ingrid: Oh! You're so beautiful!
Aeryn: Yes, but sad. I must stay in this tiny bowl when once I had the whole ocean to play in. I never knew how good life was until I was captured by a landling. Please, if you go to the ocean, dive deep and bring this letter to my sister, Korrie. I’ll toss it to you. I wrapped it in sealskin for waterproofing.
Ingrid: I wish I could help you more.
Aeryn: Just warn my sister of the landlings and bring me back a conch so I can once more hear the sound of my beloved ocean.
Am really learning a lot about the overlay function--it has numerous possibilities.:
