Eloise Moves In

On Wednesday (September 21st), Maelle’s replacement moved in: It’s Eloise the yellow elephant! She’s a big improvement over Maelle, if you ask me.

Eloise: Tee hee! It's nice to meet you! I'm Eloise, and I love to walk around!

I’ve now had Eloise in four of the five main Animal Crossing games: In all games except New Leaf.

Interestingly enough, Eloise has the same wallpaper as Peanut…who stepped in some black tea she spilled. 😛

Peanut: Gaaack! I just stepped in the black tea I spilled yesterday!
Where’s Moppina when you need her?

Today, I wasn’t paying attention to the time when I heard a UFO flying by! Fortunately, it was flying from west to east, and I happened to be in the western part of town when I noticed it. So I had time to get my slingshot out, catch up to the UFO, and shoot it down!

Gulliver: A fiery meteor struck my trusty spacecraft, sending me spiraling to the ground!
Yes, a meteor that flew up from the ground. Of course.

After I retrieved Gulliver’s five UFO parts, he rewarded me with a Mouth of Truth. That’s the same thing he gave me last time (in July), but I decided to keep this one too; I put it in storage for now.

Goose asked to have a competition to see who could catch a bell cricket first. Since they’re pretty common, I was up to the challenge. I caught one and returned it to Goose for an easy win.

Goose: This...is for that sweet bell cricket! Rock on, nutty!

He rewarded me with a broken post. That’s the same item that Bones gave me last week. Are they going around breaking fences and pretending the broken parts are good gifts to give out? 🤔

Salty Ocean Food

On Wednesday, I received Maelle’s goodbye letter in the mail. I can’t say I’ll miss the ugly duckling.

Au revoir, Jeff! I'm leaving town! I wanted it to be a big mystery, but I'm actually just bored. See ya. I'm out! -From, Maelle

I found Pascal in town, so I listened to his words of his wisdom: He said that living in the ocean means he never has to salt his food. 😛

Pascal: Living in the ocean means never having to salt your food, man.

He gave me some sea view wallpaper, jumped into the ocean, and swam away.

Butch asked for a new catchphrase to replace “woowoo,” which he learned from Deena. I told him to say “bark bark” instead.

Butch: ...Bark bark! Isn't that a little too cheerful for me?

Wolfgang was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and then again today.

As I was talking to Peanut tonight, a shooting star flew overhead. Unfortunately, you can’t make a wish during a conversation, so I was out of luck. And no other shooting stars flew by during my session. Shoot.

Saharah was in town, and she asked me to make deliveries to Tom Nook and Phyllis.

Saharah: You will take it to Tom Nook, yes? Many thanks to you, friend!

When I was done, Saharah offered me a ringside seating or a lunar surface. Since I knew for sure that I already had a lunar surface, I asked for the ringside seating.

I caught a hammerhead shark in the ocean, and I think that was my third one in September alone! I don’t know why I’m seeing so many lately when I didn’t spot that many in the summer, but I’ll take it. 😛

Maelle’s replacement has not moved in yet, but I’ll be sure to find out who it is next week. Hope to see you then!

Short Stay, La-Di-Day

On Thursday, Bones gave me a free gift: a broken post. Sounds like a blog entry that won’t load correctly. 😉

Bones: I trust you'll treat my broken post the way you would me.

Today was La-Di-Day, and everyone wanted me to choose their song to be the new town tune.

Wolfgang: I've been practicing screaming at random people to improve my vocal power!
Bones: Hey, sunshine, wanna hear my funky jam?
Peanut: I've got an amazing voice, so I'm going to try to win today's big competition.

But Peanut was the first to sing for me, and I liked her song. So I chose her song as the new town tune. Congrats, Peanut!

Peanut: WOOHOO! I'm so happy, nutty! You have super good taste, sunshine!

When I visited Maelle, I was surprised to see she was already packed up in boxes and ready to move out! Even though I almost never do this, I decided to let her go…after just eight days in town! This has got to be one of the shortest stays in any of my towns ever.

Maelle: Don't make that face! I don't want to remember you with that ugly, sad face!
Well that’s how I remember you.

At the Roost, K.K. performed Aloha K.K. for me. At one point, the “camera” was briefly behind Brewster’s counter, so I got a close-up view of his siphon. 😛

See you all next time!
