Trouble with Truffles

I received a goodbye letter in the mail today: Pippy has squeaked out of town.

Guess what, Jeff! I realize this is a little cuckoo, but I've decided to move. Have I lost it? No!!! I've just got to try to get a fresh start. I don't even know where I'm going yet! See ya! -Pippy

I quickly found her replacement just one acre to the south: It’s Truffles the pig. I’m not a fan of pig villagers in general, and Truffles is one the uglier pigs in the series. Well, at least she probably won’t stick around long.

Truffles: Good evening! You seem kinda lost to me... Do you live in this town, snoutie?
I must be lost, if I decided to speak to you. 😛

When I visited Carmen, she had some really mean things to say about Gracie (who is supposed to visit town soon). She even said Gracie has a face like a horse!

Carmen, talking about Gracie: She has quite the forked tongue and a face sort of like a horse!

This is some dialogue that I did not include in my recent Villagers Insulting Special Characters video. Well, maybe I’ll make a Part 2 someday.

Ursala told me that she was planning on going on a picnic with her boyfriend next week.

Ursala: I'm thinking about going on a picnic with my boyfriend next week...

She wanted to know if muffins and apple juice were a good combination. Sounds good to me!

Genji asked if I wanted to be the manager of his tumbling team, and I turned down the offer. He said maybe tumbling isn’t very popular, but he put an extra space in between the words “isn’t” and “very.” Not a big deal of course, but I noticed it. 😛

Genji: Hmm, I guess tumbling isn't very popular... Watching it is such a blast...

Puck was looking forward to the Cherry Blossom Festival coming up in early April. I usually check it out each year, since it is a 3-day event (unlike most events in the game). So perhaps I will again. 🌸

Puck: I can't wait to go down to the wishing well plaza for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, brrrrrrrrr!

I didn’t get to speak to Emerald or Sydney tonight, because they were already in bed by 9 p.m.

Have a good day (or night), and I’ll see you all next time!

Word of Mouth

Opal the green elephant has already moved out of town. I received her goodbye letter in the mail today.

Dearest Jeff! During my entire move, I was sure I was forgetting something. You know what it was? I forgot to say adieu to you. I hope this letter will ease your devastation... All the best! -Opal

Her replacement was a rude, pink mouse. No, not Candi; I already have Candi. It’s Carmen, and she’s even worse than Candi. 😛

Carmen: Stop shouting! I'm right here! I can hear you fine, bumpkin!
I think I see why you didn’t return.

She lived in Forest a decade ago (back when my blog entry titles were almost as long as the entries themselves). And even back then, I thought she was a returning villager. So that means this is likely Carmen’s third stint in Forest. Hopefully, it will be a short one.

Tom Nook is apparently having a sale on March 1st, and that’s all most of my villagers would talk about.

Belle: Tom Nook's gonna be throwing a major-league, blow-out sale, in a tutu!

Pippy even tried to convince me that Nook isn’t having a sale…so that I wouldn’t buy up everything. Some villagers are afraid of the competition.

Pippy: Because Tom Nook's definitely not having a sale soon!

Of course, Nook’s sales just have one item for sale, and villagers can’t buy them anyway. But whatever, Pippy. 😛

Tom had a very different approach to the sale, and I found it amusing. He said it doesn’t matter if you miss a sale or not, because Tom Nook will end up getting your money one way or another. Too true! 😂

Tom: It's no big deal if you miss out on a sale. Nook'll get your money one way or another! Ha ha ha.

Now that winter is over and the snow has all melted, I changed out of my winter sweater. I’m now wearing a stormy shirt, even though I don’t even remember where I got it. It was in my pockets somehow. 😀

I asked Static for a job, and he asked me to deliver something to his buddy Puck.

Static: Take these clothes to my buddy, Puck!

So I delivered the gift (a jagged shirt), and Puck really liked it. He rewarded me with a blue table.

Puck: Oh yeah...I just know people are gonna be checking me out now, brrrrrrrrr!

I recently posted a video that takes a look at the insulting things villagers will say about special characters like Tom Nook, Redd, Blathers, and more. It includes clips from this game, but also some from Wild World and City Folk. I hope you’ll give it a watch!

See you all next time!

Igloo Thief

Gwen has already moved out of town; I received her goodbye letter in the mail today.

My little Jeff, I can't stand for anyone to see me cry... You must know, that's the only reason I left without saying goodbye. Even now, the tears are... I can't bear it! Farewell! -Yours, Gwen

When I ran into Pippy, she asked me if I would give her a new catchphrase to replace “li’l hare.” I knew she likely wouldn’t be sticking around long, so I told her no. However, she refused to take no for an answer!

Pippy: No way! I'm not taking no for an answer! Come on...I need you to think up something good for me to say!

Since she forced me to pick something, I told her to say “I’m rude.”

I visited Puck, and he was talking about Katrina and her upcoming visit. He said that she just mutters nonsense and takes 50 bells. Too true. 😛

Puck: She mutters some nonsense at you and then takes 50 bells, brrrrrrrrr!

Genji was wondering about my gyroid’s dance moves, so he told me that he’s basically going to stalk my gyroid to learn its secrets.

Genji: I'm gonna hide out and watch your gyroid every day until I learn the secrets of its mad dance moves! You'll see!
Are you off your meds again?

Ursala told me that she likes igloos, but she thinks she’s above manual labor. So she’s going to wait for someone else to build an igloo, and then just take it for herself. 😮

Ursala: I'll just wait for someone to build a nice igloo, and then I'll take it, grooomph!

Speaking of igloos, I found Emerald in one tonight. She wanted to just eat chowder and warm up by the fire. 💚

Emerald, in an igloo: Let's sample the chowder and warm up by the fire, sproing!

Just before wrapping up my game, I met Gwen’s replacement, Opal. Even though she’s a snooty too, I like her much more than Gwen. Welcome to town, Opal!

Opal: Mine is Opal. Well, nice to meet you, snoot!

See you all next time. Never Stop Crossing!
