Windsocks & Indecisive Otis

I made a quick trip to Nookington’s today, so that I could finally sell all the junk I had in my pockets (and some items I had left on the ground, too). Then, I checked out the dump, where I found a paw shirt…and put it on.

I put on a paw shirt in the dump.

I believe today is the last day of the windsocks that are on display around town each May, so I made sure to pose by one. Now the whole town smells like fish! 😛

The fish-shaped windsocks that are on display each May.

I spoke to Otis, and he told me about Nook’s upcoming sale on clothing. Otis told me he wasn’t interested, so I didn’t have to worry about him buying up the clothes before I got the chance.

Otis: Clothing...? Oh well... It's not like I'm all that into it, but I thought you'd like to know.

But when I spoke to him again, he told me his clothes were all getting small. And he said he hopes Nook has some good clothes at the sale! Wow, Otis needs to make up his mind, I s’pose.

Otis: I hope he's selling some cool duds, I s'pose.

Back outside, I approached Static…only for him to quickly go indoors. When I followed him inside, he got mad at me for coming in uninvited.

Static: Eh, it's just you. If you don't mind terribly, DON'T COME IN HERE UNINVITED, in a flash!
Why? Are you afraid I’ll ask why you have a picture of Tom Nook?

Belle wanted to sell me an item that was “amazing and rare.” She said stores will never carry it, and she had to special order it. And then, she wanted all my money for it. All 29,267 bells. No. Way.

Belle: It looks like you've got 29,267 on you. That oughta be enough. What do you think?

When I bumped into Baabara, she informed me that I have an authentic alarm clock. Wow, an alarm clock. Amazing. 😛

Baabara: Don't you know you have in your possession an authentic alarm clock? Don't try to hide it!!

She felt that the alarm clock was too sophisticated for me, so she offered to give me an arched window for it. I agreed to the trade. But an arched window seems a lot more sophisticated than an alarm clock to me. 😛

Baabara: I'll tell you what! Don't you think that alarm clock better suits my sophisticated tastes?

I was asked about the catalog in this game, so I figured I would also post this picture here. Each time you complete a section of the catalog, the item count is marked with a star.

The catalog shows a star next to the item count to indicate when a section is complete.

It’s a very helpful feature that did not make it to the later games. In fact, the newer games don’t even give you the item count! (Wild World did, but not City Folk or New Leaf). So far, I’ve completed the sections for (handheld) items, stationery, gyroids, fossils, and music.

  1. When I saw the title, I thought “wow, Otis just got here and you already had to save him (from leaving?”, but then I remembered that you can’t really “save” anybody in the GC game.

    1. Yes, yes! I suppose it’s only fair we know how it feels 😛
      And I totally missed the windsocks, so thanks Jeff for this and the frequent updates!
