Chatting with Copper

While playing in my 2nd town of Ohio recently, Chief asked me if I knew how to catch a little giant beetle. That’s an oxymoron, pal! 😛

Chief: Hey! Have you figured out how to catch that annoying little giant beetle?

Another day in Ohio, I found a dig spot and dug up a moving painting!

Check it out! I dug up a moving painting!

I decided to donate it to the museum, and it was the first work of art. Even though I’ve had the town of Ohio for many years, I never really put any effort into things like fish, bugs, and art for the museum. Well, at least it has one painting now!

((Moving painting)) Donated by Scott.

I then did something I rarely do: I spoke to Copper at length. He gave me his whole spiel, and that included some dialogue I didn’t remember. For one thing, he threatened to bite me if I was mischievous!

Copper: You may enter the police station whenever you please... unless you are mischievous, in which case I bite.

He also said that he is “sort of new” to the force, and he’s not familiar with the laws around here. Wait, shouldn’t that be a priority for a police dog??

Copper: I'm ashamed to admit that I'm sort of new to the force. As such, I am not familiar with the laws around here...

He confirmed that there is no punishment for falsely claiming recovered items, which was something I was a bit worried about when I first started playing Animal Crossing. 😀 He then pondered what his role actually was, then. Is he just a doorstop?

Copper: But then...it begs the question, what role does that leave for an officer? Am I just a doorstop?
I’m afraid so, dawg.

It was an interesting conversation, believe it or not.

Copper: It is the duty of an officer to protect and serve the citizenry! Even if the citizenry behaves poorly!

But ultimately, he apologized for talking so much. He compared it to foaming at the mouth, which probably isn’t the best analogy for a dog. Someone might think he has rabies.

Copper: I...I'm so verry sorry! I didn't mean to start foaming at the mouth like that! Forgive me!

Later on, I got quite a surprise when I spoke to Nate. He said it had been 569 weeks since I last spoke to him! Is that even possible?! That’s almost 11 years! Wow! I know I don’t play in Ohio super often and Nate isn’t a guy that I would seek out for a chat, but still, that’s hard to believe! Oops!

Nate: ...It's already been over 569 weeks since we hung out together, hasn't it?

Nate: It doesn't that long if you say 131 months, but 569 weeks sounds really long, don't you think?
Actually they both seem really long.

And when I spoke with Cookie, she informed me that turnips are the root of all evil! Odd statement, but I guess she’s just making a pun.

Cookie: I don't even own any turnips, to tell you the truth. Turnips are the root of all evil!

And just a heads-up that I plan to post at least one Animal Crossing GameCube video in October, and perhaps more… Just subscribe on Youtube to be notified when they’re posted.

  1. Ohh super excited for this month with an animal crossing gamecube video coming out 🙂 also poor Nate haha

    1. Haha, oops. I’ve fixed it now, thanks. Hopefully CoPPer won’t arrest me (or bite me) for the mistake. That would be ruff. I mean, rough.
