Prelude: An Unexpected Story Begins

What's this? Could it be the ending to Monkey 2 reenacted?!

Nope, just some kids playing around. You gain control shortly after Chuckie suggests picking up some Scurvy Dogs. Well, that certainly sounds tasty...best to listen to your friend and enter the Scurvy Dog shop. The proprietor is as Capitalistic as he is near-sighted, and wants money. The children were set loose in a park with no money, so we'd better go and find some. Luckily you can get two Scurvy Dogs for only one piece o' eight. Borrow the outhouse key attached to a pegleg hanging by the door and exit the shop.

Across the way is the very outhouse the key was designed to open. Use the key in the lock and head on in. There are all sorts of lovely sights in here, but the one to concentrate on is the small metal disc on the floor. Chuckie correctly identifies this as a metal slug when you examine it, and it is noted that it is roughly the shape of a piece o' eight. Pick it up and head back to the Scurvy Dog shop. Hand the slug over to the owner and he'll be fooled well enough to give you two Scurvy Dogs. Once you're done reveling in the mouth feels brought on by the incredible flavor profile, head to the right and through the arch to enter the park area.

Once in the park, you'll run into Chuckie's friend, Dee. She'll give you a To Do list of fun things to do in the park.

Win a race against Chuckie

There's a racetrack in the field to the right of the entrance, just select this area to initiate a race. Once Dee tells you to start, just run across the field (when using a controller, just run like normal. For mouse controls, quickly click just past the finish line). You're a winner!

Examine the Anchor

Right under where you met Dee is a large anchor. Just select it to take a look. Dee will launch into a lengthy history lesson on anchors, which you can listen to while making yourself a sandwich or skip through.

Feed the Duck

Head to the right until you stumble across the pond. There's a pile of bread sitting on the ground near the couple you harassed earlier, but they won't let you take any. Examine the picnic basket near them and Chuckie will try to see what's inside it, and the guy will stop him. While he's busy with his "kids these days" rant, pick up some of the bread and go to the dock on the other side of the pond. Once at the dock, toss some of your purloined bread to the duck.

Add some sauce to your scurvy dog

On the ground right behind the pond's dock is a blob of ketchup. Examine it and then pick it up. Combine the ketchup with your Scurvy Dog and then take a big ol' bite of the new treat.

Practice Swordfighting

Just click on the stage and the two friends will have a mock battle.

Find a Four Leaf Clover

There's a field of clovers to the right of the pond. If you highlight all objects that can be selected, you can spot this easily. Just pick it up once you find it.

Make a Wish at the Wishing Well

All the way to the right in the park is a Wishing Well. You can spot a coin sitting on the ground nearby. Just pick it up and toss it into the well and then make any wish that you want.

Find your real father

Once you finish filling out your list, open up the gate near the well. Walk through and approach Guybrush to complete the Prelude.

On to Part I!
