Trading Boots for a Poncho

Today was my first time playing since Toy Day, and I got a letter from Jingle in the mail. He sent me Balloon Fight (the NES game) as a Christmas gift.

I also received a letter from Boots. Sadly, he has already moved out of town. I guess Boots was made for walking.

Poncho: Hey! Catching an evening walk, are we? I hear that. And by the way, nice to meet you, li'l bear!

I walked by Puck’s house right as the clock struck 10 o’clock p.m., and I saw his lights go out. When I tried to go in his house, the sign said he was sleeping. I think he was really just avoiding me.

Static asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told him to say “in a flash.” When I spoke to him again, he told me I looked awful as ever, and he asked who dresses me!

Static: You're looking awful as ever. Who dresses you?

The funny thing is, he dressed me! Well okay, he didn’t put the clothes on me. But this is the exact shirt (the gray tartan) that he gave me last time when he said I looked awful! If my shirt looks awful, it’s your fault, Static!

He gave me a jagged shirt, but I wasn’t interested in wearing it. I’m not taking fashion advice from him again!

I spoke to my buddy Hank, and gave me a birdcage as a gift. That’s a strange gift to get from a chicken. Maybe he’s just trying to get rid of one of his cousins or something.

Hank: This old birdcage gets in the way of my cross-training. It's yours!

Ursala surprised me by telling me how much she enjoys snowboarding! She said she’s going to hit the slopes this weekend. She’s worried that she might break her nose again, though.

Ursala: I just hope I don't fall down on my face and need another nose job, grooomph! ...I can't believe I said that.

I ran into Hank again, and this time, he asked me for a new catchphrase. I told him to say “at KFC.” This catchphrase has some potential. Hopefully it won’t start to bug me after a while.

Hank: But some insects, like cicadas, fly away if you run up to them, at KFC.

I spotted a balloon present flying diagonally through town, so I followed it. Unfortunately, it never ran into a tree. So I had no choice but to watch it sail away, out of my life forever.

She was a bit upset that I hadn’t visited her in so long, and she said if I didn’t come tonight, she would have banned me from entering her house! She was obviously bluffing, but still, that’s pretty rude.

Candi: Honestly? If you hadn't stopped by tonight, I was gonna ban you from my house, sweetie!

After running by the post office and the dump, I returned home for the night.

  1. Wait… Now saying that you haven’t played AC GC since Toy Day is giving me a feeling…

    I HAVEN’T PLAYED SINCE TOY DAY IN 2015!

    Also, I’m picturing. a pig.. On two legs.. That is snowboarding.. Imagine if that was in Zootopia/Zootropolis..

  2. This isn’t GameCube related but I just realized something. There were some unused villager files in Happy Home Designer. And all of these villagers were in the new Welcome Amiibo Cards. So I think they intentionally threw that teaser in before it was announced. I might be wrong though since HHD is about a year old.

      1. I can totally picture it. I have Ursala in Quigley and she’s absolutely giddy every time it snows. If I ever get to play this on the GameCube (I was late to the Animal Crossing scene, didn’t start New Leaf until 2015), I hope she moves in. She’s quickly become a favorite of mine.
