List of Dialogues
Introduction
- "THE MARBLE IS THICKENING."
- "-WHOOPS! Just joking! Kidding around! Wouldn't want to make YOU worry!"
- "Sorry, I shouldn't have spoken so loudly, how are you? Let's chat for a bit, right?"
Options
- Uh, I just want to shop.
- "LOTS OF GOODIES TONIGHT."
- Where am I? You're not making any sense.
- "I'm not making sense? TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND EXAMINE YOUR THOUGHTS. I know where I am, and I always make sense. Listen, I was a show, on NBC, called "My Little Marble". It starred some square who decide to invade the privacy of someone's marble."
- "Oh sorry, I'm rambling again. This place, it's just my little slice of the pie you see. Just a little sphere, here. DO NOT ASK AGAIN."
- I want to leave!
- "Big hurry? No whammy then. Oh whoops, I meant no problem. NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-NO WHAMMY-STOP-"
- Nevermind.
"You're leaving? Going back the way you came I assume? I BELIEVE THAT TO BE IMPOSSIBLE."
Trivia
- Strangeman is the only vendor capable of selling the same item multiple times in a shop rotation.
- When the Strangeman teleports a player out, his repeated saying of "NO WHAMMY" is a reference to the 80's game show Press Your Luck, in which unlucky timing could give the player a Whammy, causing them to lose all their money. This seems to represent the fact that a player leaving might not buy anything, which then indicates by the "NO WHAMMY" that they do not lose any gold over Strangeman's highly expensive items it always has for sale.
- It is believed by some players that Strangeman is Mr. 58, however there is no evidence to back this up besides the tree above Strangeman and below Mr. 58.
- Strangeman is likely the NPC/vendor with the most rumors and theories about him. His mysterious appearance and strange dialogues are certainly the reasons, it is not by accident that he is called Strangeman.
