Hide and Psychic

Mint is now over her cold, as she told me in a letter. She sent me a ranch bookcase to thank me for the medicine I gave her last week.

Astrid told me that she was thinking about moving out of town.

Astrid: Yes, I'm thinking it might be time to leave this town, hop on.

Even though she’s only been here for 3.5 months, I didn’t try to stop her. I just wasn’t in the mood to put any effort into keeping her around, when I don’t really care about a mediocre kangaroo. 😛 Not to mention, she lived in Forest just a few years ago anyway.

Near River’s house, Nana asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek with her and her friends.

Nana: Some friends and I were just about to play a quick round of hide-and-seek!

She gave me 15 minutes to find her, Mint, and Roscoe. Mint was the first one I found; she was hiding behind Nook ‘n’ Go. Her snooty personality was showing, and she somewhat angrily asked why I didn’t find the other hiders before her.

Mint: Oh! By the way, why didn't you go find other people before you found me?

I later found Roscoe behind a tree, and with eight minutes remaining, I found Nana peeking out from behind my house.

Nana gave me a mega alloid for winning the game, and she wondered if I have ESP. She even suggested that I should become a telephone psychic. 😛

Nana: Have you ever given any thought to becoming a telephone psychic, sparkles?
I knew you were going to say that.

Later on, I attended K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show at the Roost. I asked for a random song, and he performed K.K. Steppe for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Steppe.

No Jerkfaces

On Tuesday, Ruby told me that she wanted to move out of town. She hasn’t been here very long yet, so I asked her to stay. However, my words did not change her mind. At least not at first. 😛

Ruby: But it's no use! It's gonna take more than your salty, salty tears to halt this train!

However, I didn’t give up. After several more attempts, she eventually changed her mind and agreed to stick around a while longer.

Ruby: Wowza, pop star! You really want me to stick around that bad, li'l ears?

She also asked me for a baseball shirt, so I ordered one for her. Yesterday, I went to the moon to give it to her. 🌚 She rewarded me with a playroom wall, and she awkwardly complimented me by saying I’m not a jerkface? Kinda weird, but okay.

Ruby: If the world was full of you, there would be no jerkfaces, li'l ears!

Today, Curly told me that he once witnessed an argument between Sable and Mabel. He said that Sable won the fight, because she is more experienced. (Does that mean more experience arguing, or just more life experience?)

Curly: It figures that in the end, Sable would win the argument, nyoink!

Saharah was in town, looking for old wallpaper. I asked around, and three of my villagers had some to give me! It’s pretty rare to get that many all at once. Thanks, Tom, Big Top, and Grizzly!

Grizzly: Don't worry, your secret's safe with me. Take this and enjoy.

I took them back to Saharah, and she gave me a garden wall in exchange.

Saharah: Here...a garden wall. Very exotic... Treasure it. It is a very rare thing.

Mint has been sick with a cold this week, so I gave her some medicine on Tuesday, yesterday, and today. Get well soon, Mint!

Piggy Back

The fishing tournament was held today, and Chip informed me that Mint won the competition with a 44.3-inch sea bass. Meanwhile, Tom was just talking about karate for some reason. 😛

Tom: I tell ya, for a while now I've been just nuts about watching karate.
This gave me “I like turtles” vibes. 😛

Ruby told me that Antonio and Mint were having an argument earlier, and she didn’t know whose side to take. So she just walked away. 😛

Ruby: I ended up just sorta walking away until the fire died down, li'l ears.

Gabi’s replacement has moved in today, and it’s Curly the pig. I’ve had him before, and in fact, I had him when I started this blog in 2011. Welcome back, Curly!

Curly: WHOA! You must be one of my new Forest neighbors!

At the Roost, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Chorale for me.

K.K.: Here's a jam that'll shine the blues clean off your shoes... It's called K.K. Chorale.

In the city, I spotted my old buddy Rolf. I was also enjoying the sign for “The Marquee,” which you can only see in full from a few specific angles.

Rolf walks towards me in the city.

See you next time.
