Rainy Season

When I played on Monday (June 23rd), I received a goodbye letter from Lulu in the mail. So long, Lulu!

To Jeff, I'm leaving town, and I'm not telling anyone where I'm going, but don't you worry! I'm off on a grand adventure that's totally going to rule! Wish me luck in my new life. Don't forget me! -Lulu!

Puck suggested we play a game, and all I had to do was pick left or right. I agreed to play, and I picked “right.” But then he forced me to buy a kitschy clock from him for 2,170 bells!

Puck: Looks like you're buying a kitschy clock for 2,170 bells, brrrrrrrrr!
Now wait just one second!

He never even said the game would involve a purchase; that’s not a game to me! That ticked me off. I ought to clock him!

It was raining in town, but Maple was trying to convince herself that she only felt humid because it was all in her mind. She thought that if she remembered that it’s June, she’ll be nice and dry? I don’t follow her logic at all, but I didn’t want to dampen her enthusiasm.

Maple: I just need to remember that it's June, and I'll be nice and dry!

Belle told me that the sound of raindrops makes her sleepy…and then right on cue, she fell asleep standing up. Luckily for her, I didn’t tip her over. 😛

Belle: Listening to the sound of raindrops always makes me sleepy, cuddles.

I wasn’t holding an umbrella myself, and Kody thought that made me pretty stupid. Thanks, pal.

Kody: You may be brave, but you're also pretty stupid! It's not healthy, Jeff!

In the southwest corner of town, I met my newest villager, Puddles. Even though she’s a frog, she couldn’t wait for it to stop raining.

Puddles: Aw! I wish the rain would hurry up and stop, splish!

What’s up with that? She’s literally named after a byproduct of rain. 🌧️

Over by the wishing well, Baabara tried to convince me that it was the exact moment that spring changed into summer.

Baabara: I'll have you know, this is the exact moment when spring changes into summer.

I asked why, and she said it was because Sydney caught a beetle already. That’s not how seasons work, and even if it was, that would have been the exact moment. Not the moment that Baabara tells me about the beetle. 😛

I played again today, and it was raining once again. Static was his usual cheery self, threatening to release the hounds on me. 😛

Static: No! I'm not interested! Go away, bzzzt! Don't make me release the hounds on you!
Chill out, Mr. Burns.

Belle was sick of all the rain lately, as was I. I’m ready for the rainy season to end already!

Belle: It feels like it's been raining all the time lately. I hate getting wet!

After a brief chat about muscle cramps, my best buddy Hank gave me a No. 1 shirt as a token of our friendship. Aww. 🙂

Hank: How about I give you this No. 1 shirt for free, okey-dokey! Enjoy it! It's a token of friendship!

Of course, I put the shirt on right away.

Down by the ocean, I found Gulliver washed up on the beach. He told me his story of how he ended up in the sea.

Gulliver: I jumped over the railing and into the ocean! The thing is, I don't know how to swim. I had forgotten that...

To reward me for helping him, he gave me a tiger bobblehead. I guess that’s claws for celebration. 🐅 Having earned my stripes, I headed home and wrapped up my game for the day.

I hope to see you all next time! Never Stop Crossing!
