For ten [[coin]]s, Carson will tell one of sixteen stories he has collected over the years. They range in scope from the [[Pixl]] uprising to [[Count Bleck]]'s minions. If the player does not have enough coins, has listened to all of Carson's stories or does not accept the 10 coin charge, he will tell one the player has already heard before for free. | ||

Both establishments are named after the game's realms of the dead, [[the Overthere]] and [[the Underwhere]]. Carson and Garson take the roles of [[Russ T.]] and [[Wonky]] from the past two [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' games]]. The original ''[[Paper Mario]]''{{'}}s Russ T. offers much more information throughout the game and tells it for free, while in [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|the sequel]] Wonky has a wider range of topics and tells them for five coins. | ||
