I started up the game today and got a goodbye letter from Eloise the elephant.
I also got a letter from “Mom,” who sent me an apple. This is one of the ways I originally got all the foreign fruits in my town. “Mom” will send them to you sometimes, and you can also occasionally get them from villagers. True, you can also take the train to another town to get foreign fruit, but I think I got all the fruits from Mom and villagers before I ever even used the train.
Near the bottom of the waterfall, I saw a house and Yuka was standing next to it. I was confused. “Yuka doesn’t live here,” I thought. And then it dawned on me. Yuka moved out of Forest five years ago. Yuka was one of the first villagers I had, and I had disliked her for years. I had her from late 2002 until early 2007, I believe. I was so glad when she finally moved out…but now she’s back!
And no, she didn’t remember me–this is not the Yuka from my Ohio town, this is a different one. So that also means I currently have Yuka in both of my GameCube towns, and in my Wii town as well!
Now she lives in acre D-4, south of where she lived B4 before, when she lived in B-4, next to Candi.
Later on, I talked to Hank and he asked me for a new catchphrase. Unlike in City Folk, it’s fairly rare for them to ask for new catchphrases in this game. I was going to have him say “bad rooster,” but it didn’t fit. So I just went with “rooster.”
I sold some fossils and furniture at Nook’s, mailed away some new fossils (and deposited money into the bank) at the post office, checked the dump (nothing good), and then headed for home.
