Meeting Zoe

I played the game very early this morning, just after midnight in fact. I checked my mail, and believe it or not, I was actually disappointed to find Jambette’s goodbye letter. The reason for my disappointment isn’t that I didn’t get a chance to meet her; it’s because I was planning on pitfalling her before she left town.

I was hoping to find Wisp–that’s the main reason I was playing after midnight–but there was no sign of him anywhere in town. And my newest neighbor (Jambette’s replacement) was already asleep, so I decided to end my game for the morning.

I picked it back up this evening and introduced myself to Zoe, the new anteater in town.

Ankha: Long time since I saw you.When I returned to the chilly mainland, Curly asked me for a new catchphrase to replace his previous one, “nyoink.” I told him to say “piggy” from now on.

Curly: How do I sound now, piggy!After stopping by the post office and dump, I returned home for the night. I’ll leave you with an animated GIF of the GameCube menu screen from before I started up my Animal Crossing game last night. See you next time!
