A Busy Day

It was raining in Forest tonight. I checked my mail. One letter was a good-bye letter from Freckles. Another was the Clu Clu Land game I ordered from Nook.

Freckles' goodbye letter.I went to meet my new neighbor, Penny the mouse. She lives in acre B-1, in the spot where Chico once lived. Her catchphrase is ska-WEAK, which is definitely one of the more unusual default catchphrases I’ve seen.

Penny: Say, have we met before, ska-WEAK?I walked by Kody, who was enamored with a mosquito that was circling around. I let it bite me for his amusement. Although he didn’t particularly seem to enjoy it biting me. He just likes watching it fly in circles, I guess.

I also checked with the wishing well, which told me my town was satisfactory, but could be better. That’s because I haven’t been picking up weeds. I picked up all the ones I came across tonight though.

I then saw Gulliver on the beach. I woke him up and he gave me a stone coin, which looks like it’s about 8 feet tall. I wonder if I can use it to buy an 8-foot tall gumball.

A large stone coin I got from Gulliver.Ursala then wanted me to play a game with her. You know, the ones where she rips you off. I declined the offer and she got very rude.

Ursala: I should have asked someone with a spine, or a bit of humor, or some guts.I didn’t appreciate her comments, so I started pushing her around until she got pissed off. I wasn’t worried; Gulliver had my back.

Ursala: What do you think you're doing? Are you blind? Can't you see me standing here?After that confrontation, Gulliver was talking about his former loves that he left heartbroken…it turns out, he was only talking about goldfish. From now on Gulliver, I won’t ask and you won’t tell.

Gulliver: And I think of Helen often, since I left her heartbroken in Hyrule...After running to the store to sell some things, I went to my house to play some Clu Clu Land. It’s not an easy game to describe. Each level has a bunch of pegs. When your character passes between pegs, it may uncover a coin in that spot. All of the coins in a level make a picture, and you have to uncover the complete picture to clear the level.

There are also enemies you have to avoid in the process, and the controls are quite confusing at first. It’s actually not a bad game once you get the hang of the controls though. I played a few games of it, and ended up with a high score of 15,220 points. I’ll enter this in the contest on Animal Crossing Community. I’m sure I could improve it if I try, but I’m satisfied with that score for today.
