As I started up the game today, I saw that the snow has now melted and the grass is green once again! Unfortunately, the lack of snow on my house revealed my pink roof that Genji painted back in December. Ugh.
I had a few valentines in the mail, and I also had a goodbye letter from Peaches. She rode off into the sunset.
My villagers seemed to have an unusual interest in my gyroids today. Candi pointed out that I don’t seem to be using my mega dingloid.
How would you know what I do with my mega dingloid?
She offered to give me a cabin wall for it, and I was okay with that. Later on, I ran into Candi again, and she wanted a tall harmonoid I had just dug up; she gave me a stone tile for that. But the best gyroid deal of the day came from Tom: He gave me 3,000 bells for a squelchoid!
Up at Nookington’s, I bought some green paint for my house. I would prefer blue, but anything is better than pink. So that should be done by the next time I play.
Near the top of my main ramp, there was a new house: Kitt the kangaroo has just moved in! She doesn’t remember, but she lived in this town a long time ago…probably back around 2003 or so. Wait, shouldn’t her joey have grown up by now?
Sadly, Savannah has moved out of town before I got the chance to meet her. I know, it’s my own fault for not playing the game frequently enough, but it’s still disappointing to see her go.
There was an igloo near Candi’s house, so I went inside and found Maple the bear cub. When I spoke to her, she took a liking to my ptera right wing (I got it in the mail from the Farway Museum). She wanted me to play a game, where I pick a card that has a price on it. She would then buy my wing for that price. I agreed, and I picked card #3. She ended up buying the wing for 1,230 bells–which was surely one of the middle prices.
I spoke with Hank over by Nookington’s, and I accidentally asked him for a job. He asked me to pick up his Game Boy from Belle. No problem, buhk buhk.
I met up with Static outside of his house. He told me he learned some things from Crazy Redd, and he decided to become a con man businessman too. So he told me he would list five items, and I would be required to buy one. Not cool. I was waiting for an item under 1,000 bells–but no item was priced that low. I ended up buying the fifth item, a conga drum, for 1,870 bells.
Fortunately, I had a pitfall in my pockets that I found earlier. I put it to good use.
Nice doing business with you.
I tracked down Belle, and not surprisingly, she did not have Hank’s Game Boy. She loaned it to Candi.
She has no respect for the classics. So why did she borrow it in the first place?
I then went up to Candi’s house and she gave me the Game Boy. Often, these item-fetching quests go on a lot longer than this, so I was glad to get the Game Boy back. Too bad I can’t play it…
Actually it is like you. But I guess you forgot that too.
Sydney was telling me how she likes to bury items in holes, and then later forgets where she buried them. She asked if I had the same problem, and I said no. But she took that as an insult somehow and got really mad at me. I felt like I didn’t deserve her anger, so I started pushing her around. She’s lucky I already used my pitfall on Static. She said I was passive-aggressive and she actually told me to get some therapy! 😀
I like how I’m not even looking at her.
I found a new house in town, and Peaches the horse was inside. She got startled when she saw me entering her house. She even called me rude. As if there was another way to actually meet her.
No, it would be rude if I put a saddle on you and rode you all over town.
After a stop at the post office and the dump, I returned to Hank to give him his Game Boy. He said he didn’t have anything to give me, so he just gave me some money: 572 bells.
After that, I returned home and ended my game for the night. Even though my roof is technically still pink, it’s covered with snow so you can’t see it.
As I started up the game tonight, I found a goodbye letter in the mail: Sandy has deserted me.
Nook’s was already closed for the night, so I was unable to unload my fossils or buy new paint for my roof. But I did find a new house belonging to Savannah the zebra! I’ve wanted Savannah for a long time! Unfortunately, she was already asleep. Hopefully I’ll get to meet her before she moves out.
When it got close to midnight, I headed over to the lake to check out the New Year’s Eve festivities. Tom, Tortimer, Ursala, and Maple were there to count down the minutes until 2016. Tad was also there, but he was on the other side of the lake by himself.
Once the timer reached zero, Maple began singing and Ursala set off some party poppers. Fireworks started going off, and I could see their reflection in the lake. Happy New Year!
After watching the fireworks for a bit, I left the party to walk around town.
Away from the lake, the game plays a version of Auld Lang Syne that I really enjoy. Over by the wishing well, Baabara tried to convince me that she’s a serious snowboarder. Sorry Baabara, but it’s January 1st, not April 1st.
I visited Hank for a bit and then stood around to enjoy the music before ending my game for the night. I hope you all have a great New Year’s and a wonderful 2016!
