Collecting for Saharah

I started off my day with a trip to the city. I went into Shampoodle and changed my hair back to its normal brown color.

Then, back in Forest, I found Saharah. She was collecting old wallpaper, so I began asking my villagers if they had any. Surprisingly, Opal was offended by the question.

Opal: Old wallpaper?! What an insult!My newest neighbor, Poncho, was much more helpful. In fact, he was the only one of my villagers that had some old wallpaper for me.

Poncho: That old wallpaper...is super dusty. Don't unroll it, li'l bear!I put that old wallpaper in storage with one other one I already had there.

In Able Sisters, I bought myself a night sky tee. That was so I could put my club shirt back into storage with my mohawk wig.

When I visited Tank, he told me that he had an idea he wanted to pass along to the mayor. He wants to have a huge festival for rearranging furniture. He even said that he’s a certified instructor, so he could teach everyone how to rearrange furniture like a pro. I’m not sure I believed him. I mean…this is what his house looks like.

Tank's house, with most of his furniture in a straight line across the center of his room.I visited Benedict later on, and he told me that Saharah took his rug, even though it was stained with fruit juice and food. He said that if not for Saharah, he’d still be living with that gross thing.

Benedict: If it weren't for Saharah, I'd still be living with that gross thing.
Um, have you looked at your current rug lately? Just saying.

 

New Next Door Neighbor

Freckles was sick with a bad cold today, so I bought her some medicine. She flipped as she took it. Hey, she looks like a duck upside-down too!

Tank: What's that on your melon? A mohawk wig?He said if he had one, he would wear it to skateboarding practice just to mess with people.

I found a new house next door to me, where Broccolo recently lived. That spot never seems to stay empty for long. Cyrano once lived there, Del once lived there, and Elmer too (his 2nd time in Forest). I guess it’s nice to (almost) always have a next door neighbor.

So I went inside, and found Poncho the bear. He’s an okay villager, but I don’t think I’ll like him as much as Broccolo (or Cyrano, Del, or Elmer).

Poncho: Forest's shaping up to be pretty rad. Here's to life in the awesome lane, li'l bear!Savannah asked me for a spider tonight, and I hate to turn down any of her requests. But after shaking trees for a while, I found four bees (three of which stung me), but no spiders. Sorry, Savannah.

Gifts for Static

When I started up the game today, I found Broccolo’s goodbye letter in the mail. I think Broccolo is my favorite mouse in the whole series, although Chico (from the GameCube game) is up there too.

Dear Jeff, Moving day is finally here, and I keep thinking of the fun times we had. Those memories are what I'll take with me to my new town, not just boxes and stuff. -From BroccoloFreckles asked me to make a delivery to Static, and I agreed to help out. Even as I handed Static the gift, which was clearly clothing, he asked if it was a castanet or a cheese pizza. Maybe he needs glasses.

Static: A gift? From Freckles? What on earth could this be? A castanet? A cheese pizza?It was a noble shirt, and he seemed to enjoy it. When I returned to Freckles, she gave me a dirt-clod wall to thank me. Wow. Great reward.

A couple minutes later, Benedict also had a gift for Static! It’s not even his birthday! The gift was a cabin rug. When I returned to Benedict, he gave me a stone wall for my trouble. I’m noticing a trend. 😛

When I ran into Savannah, she asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. I had 15 minutes to find Savannah, Freckles, and Chow. Savannah was the first one I found; she was hiding behind her own house!

Savannah: Have you ever given any thought to becoming a telephone psychic, old dog?
I knew you were going to ask me that.

Later, I went up to the observatory at the museum. I made a constellation, and then deleted it…just to get Celeste to say this. 😛

Celeste: ...Farewell, Wii U. I reunite you with your starry brethren.See you all next week!
