You don't look quite bizarre enough for him on your own, but with some help, you can attract his attention.

Description summary:
The remainder of the description changes with . Additionally, at Exhaustion < 4, an extra phrase is added based on .

Exhaustion	Description
< 4	He buys skeletons[…] and Viric Lizards. He pays in Memories of Distant Shores and Final Breaths. Quantities of Final Breaths scale with your amalgamy multiplied by itself.
≥ 4	He buys Viric Lizards. He pays in Rumours of the Upper River. At other times he would be able to pay well for skeletons with high Amalgamy, but his funds are too depleted at the moment.

Skeleton in Progress	Additional phrase after "buys skeletons"
0 (Hypothetical Skeleton)	(which you would need to assemble)
10 (Creature)	(though you would need to finish the one you're working on)

Game Instructions: [see below]

Amalgamy	Game Instructions
0	Since you don't currently have a skeleton with amalgamy to offer, this buyer will not be as rewarding as they otherwise might be.
1	Your current skeleton has only one point of amalgamy. This buyer will pay something for that, but you aren't getting the most out of their bonus effect.
2	Your current skeleton has only two points of amalgamy. More would make this buyer pay out more extensively.
3 - 4	Your current skeleton has enough amalgamy to make this buyer interesting.
5+	Your current skeleton has a lot of amalgamy. This buyer would love that.

Note that the cost of hiring the busker will be lost even if you decide not to do business with the Entrepreneur – so be sure you have something to sell him.

Unlocked with  13-14,

Locked with  4 (This is implemented as a soft-lock more than as a hard-lock; the player can still see this option and use it to sell anything other than skeletons.)

Success

One of his own

With suitable bribes and gifts, you attract the services of a Rubbery Go-Between, who stands beside your stall in a gingham apron. Its burbles advertise your wares for sale. The Tentacled Entrepreneur is soon drawn your way.
