Jay Key

Mott asked me for some distinguished furniture today, and I told him I’d help him out. I had my doubts about finding anything like that, though. But things changed when I went into Nook ‘n’ Go. There was a tea vase on sale, and I thought it looked kind of fancy. So I bought it, took it back to Mott, and he liked it! He rewarded me with 752 bells.

Mott pays me 752 bells.
Not 552 bells? I’m shocked!

The next house I entered belonged to Aurora; she was sick with a cold. So I headed straight back to Nook ‘n’ Go to buy some medicine. I then took it back to Aurora. Get well soon, ice cube.

Aurora flips as she takes medicine.
Uh…I’m seeing a different side of you.

Outside, Static told me he was looking for a new catchphrase to replace “retweet me.” That one was originally Twiggy’s phrase. I hate when they spread catchphrases to other villagers, because it often ruins the pun. I told Static to just say “shocking” for now.

Static's new catchphrase, shocking.Broccolo told me he loves winter because it means free snow cones. He told me he takes a bunch of snow and pours juice over it. But he warned me not to try it myself, saying that only he is qualified to do it because he won the regional snow-cone eating contest seven times.

Broccolo shares his recipe for snow cones.Jay was locked out of his house, so I tried fishing to find his key. I caught this pond smelt in the waterfall…and I also caught my character making an awkward pose/face.

Catching a pond smelt in the waterfall.I took the key to Jay and he thanked me and gave me a lovely carpet. I didn’t have the heart to tell him I didn’t care for it.

I give Jay his key back.He immediately went into his house, which was good to see. A lot of times, you’ll return a villager’s key, only for them to stay outside all night anyway. But I followed him inside, and he mentioned his upcoming move. Again, I told him to stick around, but he said it’s too late and I can’t stop him. I’m not sure that’s true, but oh well. Jay’s kinda cool, but I’m not going to bend over backwards to try to get him to stay. If he goes, he goes.

Jay: It's too late to stop me!

Saharah & Savannah

Saharah was in town today, looking for some old wallpaper. So I began to ask around to see if any of my villagers had any to give me. My search started out well when Mott handed one over.

Mott: That old wallpaper is super dusty.But my good luck didn’t last. One after another, villagers denied my request. And many of them treated it like a big joke.

Tutu: Old wallpaper? Why, did you buy an old wall?The very last villager I asked about it, Aurora, actually had some wallpaper to give me. Thanks, Aurora! But two wasn’t enough, and I didn’t have any extras in storage this time.

Anyway, Jay told me that he was going to be moving out of town. I told him not to go, but he said it’s too late. I guess I’ll see what happens with him next time.

Jay wants to move out.Not much else was going on in town today, so I took the bus out to the city. I saw my favorite zebra there, Savannah. She said her shoes were dirty, and she wanted to get a shoe shine…but Kicks was not in the city today.

Savannah: My shoes are dirty.Peewee was totally judging her right there.

Northern Lights

Benedict sent me a letter, thanking me for the medicine I took him when he was sick recently. He included a gift (a Florence flask) with the letter.

Alli was telling me how much she enjoys catching bugs tonight: She walks quietly with her net out and then pounces. But she’s an alligator; why does she need a net? And why doesn’t she go after larger prey?

Alli ACNLMeanwhile, Aurora was more enamored with fossils.

Aurora thinks fossils are cool. ACNL
Don’t worry, I don’t think you’re a nerd!

I ran into Static, and he seemed to notice the Florence flask in my pocket for some reason. He offered to give me a shirt for it. Not a very fair trade, but I agreed to the exchange just to be nice.

Static noticed the Florence flask in my pocket.Shortly after 9:00 tonight, the skies came to life. I enjoyed my view of the northern lights from one of my town’s bridges. This is the first time I’ve seen them this winter.

ACCF Northern lightsI finished up my night with a visit to the Roost. I enjoyed a live performance of K.K. Casbah before saving my game.
