Time Capsule

Big Top is the latest villager to come down with a cold. He proved to be surprisingly athletic when I gave him some medicine.

Blathers had some new things to say about his fieldwork. He’s not sure he’s up to it any more, despite still being in his 20s. Wait, what? I certainly wasn’t expecting to hear that!

Blathers: I should be able to take it. It may shock you, but I'm still in my twenties...

But he continued, telling me that his shovel recently hit something very hard in the ground. He got excited, thinking it was a fossil, but it was actually a time capsule!

Blathers: Ah-hoo! The thing I had pulled from the earth was a sort of time capsule.

Inside, he found two letters. The first one said “I want to own a shop so big that I can stock anything I want!” He implied that it was written by a child…a young Tom Nook perhaps?

Blathers: The penmanship was squiggly and childlike, like worms on the paper. Ugh.The other letter said “Even if it’s small, I want to own a pretty shop.” It also seemed to be written by a child. Mable or Sable maybe? Anyway, Blathers then put the letters back in the time capsule and re-buried it.

A new “Message of the Week” was posted to the bulletin board, and it warned people to flee from strangers and their candy. That kind of defeats the purpose of Halloween, doesn’t it?

*Message of the Week* Strangers are scary! Flee from their candy!Rhonda was all packed up and ready to move out of town, but I decided to ask her to stay. I might not do the same next time, but for now, I didn’t want her moving away just yet.

Rhonda: Jeff, if you want me here so badly, I'll think about it. But no promises!
