First Camper of 2019

Bob the cat has strayed away from Forest in search of snacks. I got his goodbye letter in the mail today.

To my pal, Jeff, I have a hunger...and while I normally just grab a snack to fill up, this hunger will only be satisfied by exotic foods from far-off lands. So, I'm now a wanderer! -Snackily yours, Bob

Genji was wondering where I’ve been for the past four weeks.

Genji: Where've you been, in a can? Partying? Whatever it was, I'm glad you're good, in a can!
I wasn’t in a can, and I’m not in a can now.

I met Bob’s replacement, T-Bone the bull. Even though I don’t have a beef with him or anything, I just don’t particularly like him. But then again, it’s hard for any animal to replace Bob. I should have T-Bone for dinner. I mean, have him over for dinner.

T-Bone: Anyway, I'm T-Bone. You must live here in Forest, don't you? Well, moocher?
Yes, and I’m having the time of my life.

Up on the cliff, Candi was getting excited about the fireworks festival coming up on Thursday night.

Candi: I need a good, old-fashioned fireworks show to really get me pumped for summer!

Ursala had an item that she couldn’t bear to throw away. It was a leaning stone, and she gave it to me for free! It’s not very often that Ursala does something nice like this.

Ursala: I found something I don't need anymore, but I can't bear to throw the poor thing away, unlike you.
Are you saying you’d throw me away?

I thought lightning was going to strike twice when Baabara told me she was feeling “VERY generous” near the wishing well.

Baabara: This is number 94 on my most-treasured item list, the sprinkler...

But her idea of being generous is selling me a sprinkler for 1,000 bells. I bought it just to be nice.

Belle was also hanging out at the wishing well, and she just wanted to know if I figured out how to use all my “stuff” in a tutu. šŸ˜®

Belle: Hey, have you figured out how to use all of your stuff, in a tutu?
Um, why do you ask?

In the spot where Chico originally lived (in the old days), I found a tent. It’s the first summer camper of the year!

The tent of a summer camper in Animal Crossing for Nintendo GameCube.

Rhoda the colorful chicken was inside, and she was not having a good time all cooped up in the tent.

Rhoda, the summer camper: Hello there. Are you enjoying the afternoon thus far? I don't mind telling you that I most certainly am not.

I made her day even worse by playing a game with her, and winning. She had to give me a green golf bag for free.

After that, I made a stop at the post office, finished pulling weeds around town, and then headed for home.

By the way, if you haven’t seen the Kotaku article about me and my GameCube town, check it out! I’ll be back with another entry in July. šŸ™‚

  1. Bob is cool, im pretty sad he left ur town. In my ACNL town, Aurora, im waiting for Coach to leave, and in my ACWW town, Blitzen, im waiting for Samson to leave.

    1. Feel your pain. Only way I got Samson out of my New Leaf town was an Amiibo card. Even then it wasn’t someone I particularly wanted, but desperate times call for desperate measures (and I need public works suggestions from the new character anyway).

  2. I knew that Bob was gonna leave the town. Sigh.. If only Ursula or Baabara…
    (and Iā€™m still waiting for Queenie to leave…)
