Nan is moving out of town; I found her all packed up and ready to go today. I don’t know why she’s running away, but I’m okay with it. She’s not bad, but I’m not really a big Nan fan.
At Able Sisters, there was a Jingle shirt for sale. Since it’s almost December, I decided to buy it and put it on.
Over by the waterfall, Samson asked if I’d like to play a game of hide-and-seek. I agreed, so I had ten minutes to find Samson, Opal, and Benedict. I found Benedict after one minute and Opal after two minutes, so I thought it was going to be an easy game.
However, the timer kept counting down as I circled around town without finding the mouse man. But with two minutes to go, I found Samson behind a tree. He actually wasn’t far from where Opal was. It wasn’t easy, but I won the game. Samson rewarded me with a folding chair. Not a gyroid? Surprising.
I visited my newest neighbor, Champ the monkey, and he told me that he recently challenged Tangy to see who could stay awake the longest. It took him 98 hours, but Champ is the…well, champ.
But staying awake for long periods isn’t the only thing Champ and Tangy have in common: They both own that cool train set. 🙂
I decided to shake a tree, and the very first tree I shook had a bee in it! But fortunately, I was able to catch the bee before it stung me.
Midge locked herself out of her house, but I didn’t bother helping her out. I saw Pete out delivering mail, which meant that today was not a UFO day. It’s been a year and a half since I’ve last shot one down (May 2016)! One of these days, I’ll shoot that ship down once again…
Tangy was using the holiday to…look for a boy? She was hoping a boy would fall in love with her after seeing her elegant cutlery moves. And she just happened to be wearing a very skimpy bikini as well.
I gave him the knife and fork, and he gave me a harvest lamp in return. I went back to Tortimer for another knife and fork, and continued my walk around town. The next time I found Franklin, he gave me a harvest dresser.
When I visited Benedict, he told me the plan for today: Stuff your face, complain about being full, and then go back for more.
Once I finished making my rounds, I focused on hunting down Franklin. I’d give him the knife and fork, get a piece of harvest furniture, get new cutlery from Tortimer, and then look for Franklin again.
Tangy, who also lives nearby (just a bit to the south, near the windmill) was sick with a cold today. She must not be eating enough Vitamin C! I bought some medicine for her. Get well soon, Tangy!
The gift was a fire hydrant. Seems more apt for a dog than a mouse, but Samson seemed to enjoy it. With the delivery a splashing success, I returned to Dotty. She rewarded me a pastel-dot wall.
Even though Halloween is over, I spotted Tabby in the city. She told me how she followed a girl back to her bus. I guess Tabby is creepy in more ways than one.
And today is the 9th anniversary of Animal Crossing: City Folk! It came out on November 16, 2008. Here is my annual slideshow of ACCF pics.
