Peter is Sun Haven's fisherman and owns the fishing shop on the Beach. Peter is a goofy, fun loving sailor. He can often be found wandering the town in and fishing at the various ponds within. The first time the player visits the beach, Peter will give them his fishing rod for them to use to fish.
On Summer 15, Peter will appear on the player's farm, asking for their help in defeating his archnemesis, Herman. Herman is a giant squid who stole his lucky hook years ago. This event is one of the yearly seasonal bosses.
Peter wears a straw hat with a crab on it, has blue hair, and carries a red harpoon.
Peter has two schedules that he alternates between each sunny day and one that he uses during rainy days. A rainy day will replace any subsequent sunny day schedule.

General non-conversational dialogue between Peter and the player. If there is a seasonal token at the end of the dialogue, it means the player can only see that dialogue during that season.
:"Come take a look at my merchandise. You might spy something you like!"
:"Keep your eyes on the sea - she will tell you anything you need to know about the weather."
:"Something smells fishy... oh, that's me."
:"Are the fish biting for you?"
:"Don't you just love the open ocean? Breathing in that salty air... it gives me life!"
:"Fish get real hungry in the spring. Well, they're real hungry every season of the year... but hey, it's a great reason for some springtime fishing! "
:"Summer is hot, so don't overdo it! Just lay back and get a line in the water - your body will thank you! "
:"'Hoy! Staying cool, farmer? It's hot, after all! "
:"The ocean really sparkles when the sun hits it. It's almost blinding, really. "
:"Huh? Oh, sorry about that. I was thinking about which bait I was going to try out next. "
:"Maybe I'll close up shop early tomorrow and get out on the water... eh, nah. Emmett needs the work. "
:"Nice thing about the colorful leaves this time of year is they make great flies for fly fishing. "
:"I still have the best fishing gear you'll find! Stop on by the shop anytime. Door's always open! Except when we're closed. "
:"Sometimes I feel like casting off from Sun Haven and going on a good long sail. "
:"Beach really starts to clear off after Summer ends. Kind of nice to have it quiet around here. "
:"It's almost crabbin' season! Er- don't tell Shelby. "
:"Ever done some winter fishing, farmer? "
:"What are you after these days? I'm going for migrating shark! "
:"The worst day of fishing still beats the best day of being the bait, heh. "
:"You can really feel the shifting of the ocean tides. Well, I can. Can't you, farmer? "
:"You know it's getting cold when the sea foam starts to frost over in the mornings. "
Summer Boss
:"Hoy, [Player]! Ready to set sail after that beast? Make sure you have your best fishing rod - you're going to need it!"
:"You handle the fishing, farmer. I'll keep the waters nice and chummed to attract the bomb fish, so that you can catch them."
Conversations
Cycle 1
:
Hoy, [Player]! Can you feel that wind? It's going to be a beautiful day. You have a question for me?
Player:
So are you from Sun Haven originally?
:
I've lived here all my life, so you tell me! Yep, I know this town backward and forward. Not a thing I would change about it. Other towns just can't compare.
Player:
There are a few things I would change... -1 Points
:
Well, change them or don't. Complaints don't solve a thing.
Player:
I'll take your word for it! +2 Points
:
Well I've visited every port town on the western coast, so I'm not just blowing hot air here!
Player:
Have you always been a fisherman?
:
Not always. I used to run trade with my ship, but I got tired of that. I don't like traveling on routes as much as sailing the sea freely.
Player:
Does fishing allow you more freedom, then?
:
Sure does! Now I just follow the weather and my own natural instinct. The sea guides me.
Player:
Did you like having a trade ship?
:
It was a decent living with regular work. Boring, though. Not nearly as exciting as feeling the first nibble on the end of your fishing line.
Cycle 2
:
Hey there farmer! Spending some time with the sea today?
Player:
I have to ask... about the crab.
:
The what? Oh! You mean Shelby?
Player:
That's an adorable name! +2 Points
:
She's the finest lady I ever sailed with. I was shipwrecked once and washed ashore. Shelby pinched me right on the cheeks and woke me up before the tide swept me out again. She's my savior, and my first mate!
Player:
You named it? -1 Points
:
I named her, and she's the finest lady I ever sailed with. I was shipwrecked once and washed ashore. Shelby pinched me right on the cheeks and woke me up before the tide swept me out again. She's my savior, and my first mate!
Player:
What's your opinion on Withergate?
:
That's the city that's supposed to be dark all the time, right? I hear a lot of tall tales from port to port, but Withergate might be the tallest tale yet.
Player:
So you don't think it's true?
:
I didn't say that. In my experience, it's best to be wary of these things, true or not.
Player:
You aren't worried about the monsters, then?
:
I didn't say that. In my experience, it's best to be wary of these things, true or not.
Cycle 3
:
I caught a huge fish last night! It was too beautiful to keep, so I let it go. ... Okay, it broke my line.
Player:
Does that happen a lot?
:
Not with my lines, but this was one tough customer. I fought it for a full hour!
Player:
It sounds like your gear failed you. -1 Points
:
My equipment is top-notch, buddy. You think you can make a stronger line? Be my guest.
Player:
Some fish are really amazing. +2 Points
:
No kidding! This isn't a loss for me though - it's a challenge. One day, I'll catch that fish.
Player:
That's unlucky. You'll get it next time.
:
That's the right attitude. A fisherman's best tool is patience. I learned that from an old fish-trapper while I was waiting out a storm in the east. Can you believe they do all their fishing with traps over there? It's true, no lines or nets!
Player:
Do you use traps?
:
Nah, I prefer the struggle between fish and man. The instant you get a bite on the hook is a special experience. For a split-second, nothing else in the world matters.
Player:
Do traps work better than rods?
:
Maybe for small fish, but I'm always after the big fish. You strike me as a big fish kind of person, too!
Cycle 4
:
[Player]! Hey, you look strong. I guess sailing isn't the only way to build real muscle, huh?
Player:
When did you learn to sail?
:
I was born on the sea, so I like to say I started learning from day one.
Player:
You were born on a boat?
:
Sure was. I don't think my mother ever forgave me for that... I'm not even joking!
Player:
But when did you really learn?
:
I started early, can't be sure. Definitely when I was a kid, though. I might've been five? My little hands could barely hold a rope!
Player:
Okay, what's the story behind the spear?
:
Oh, this? It was a gift from an Elven village I found by accident. A storm forced me ashore on an uncharted island once. Uncharted islands are risky, so I didn't know what to expect. I sure didn't expect Elves! I promised not to reveal their location - you know how secretive Elves can be - and they gave me this as a parting gift. It's super sharp because it's made from coral!
Player:
It's good of you not to reveal their location. +2 Points
:
I guess so, but I don't know why I would even bother doing that. What's there for me to gain? An island of enemies? No thanks!
Player:
So... where was this island? -1 Points
:
Nice try, [Player]. I'm a sailor, and sailors keep their word.
Hoy again, [Player]! There's been an abundance of fish on the market these days. Would you have anything to do with that, eh?
Player:
Yeah, thanks to the fishing rod you gave me!
Player:
I was born to fish!
:
Since you've been fishing quite a bit, I wanted to give you a new tool that should really help a lot... It's a Small Fishing Net! This will catch fish for you even when you're not around.
Player:
Thanks, Peter!
:
You can cast nets like these into the waters on your farm. Though before you can do that, you'll also need a Net Permit. Don't worry, I've actually brought you one. Here, take it!
Net fishing is so effective that it has to be regulated to make sure no one is overfishing! Once you activate that permit, all you have to do is place it right in the water and check back later!
Player:
Awesome! How do I get more nets?
:
You can stop by my shop if you ever want more nets. I also sell Permit Upgrades, too. Just remember you can only use nets on your farm! Good luck with your anglin', [Player].
