Baabara Wah-Wah

I received a goodbye letter from Rizzo today. He has moved out of town.

Rizzo's goodbye letter.And I went to meet my new villager, Bitty.

Meeting Bitty.I also said hello to Genji, as he was talking about a giant stag beetle.

Genji: Sounds like a big bug, huh? Like a big, scary bug.Genji: I thought I saw it once, but it was just Resetti.Over by the wishing well, Baabara asked me if I preferred eating or sleeping. I told her eating, and she began to mock me. She got very rude and nasty.

Baabara: You're just like a BABY! Waaah! Waah! WAAAAAAAAH!So naturally, I got my net out and started beating her senseless.

Baabara: Doing that really hurts me! You will stop NOW!Who’s the baby now?

I circled around town and found Emerald sleeping outside her house. I woke her up and she made a blatant reference to a Talking Heads song.

Emerald: This is not my beautiful house! How did I get here?After a stop at the post office, I returned home for the night.

Mystery of the Drone Beetle

Today, Puck was talking about how he hadn’t seen me in two weeks. Yeah yeah, I understand you were worried and all, but where exactly did your eyes go?

Puck: That sorta gets me wigged out about what you get up to.I also ran into Maple, and she offered to sell me a cabin rug or wood paneling for 9,397 bells. You must be out of your mind!

Maple: I'll let you buy either one for 9,397 bells!I saw a bug on a tree, and I caught it. It was a drone beetle.

I caught a drone beetle! I wonder where the queen is.I was wondering why they took drone beetles out of the later Animal Crossing games. And then I went to Nookington’s and saw that they only sell for 80 bells! And suddenly, I didn’t miss them so much any more.

I'd be willing to pay 80 bells.I ran into Hank and chatted with him for a bit. He seemed to be in a good mood, although Kody and Baabara seemed to be having an argument in the background.

Hank: I've been yukking it up all day long! You missed out!And as I checked my town status at the wishing well, Robin ran by, kicking a basketball. A moping Static followed close behind. Perhaps she stole his ball?

Robin kicks a basketball as Static looks depressed.In the lost and found at the police station, I picked up a flip-top desk. But not 30 seconds later, Tom noticed it and offered me 3,000 bells for it! It’s all yours!

Tom: Where'd you get that? I'll give you 3,000 bells for it!He probably should have used that money to buy some new clothes instead, because that dress outfit is not very flattering.

After that, I made a stop at the post office and then returned home. I’ll see you next time!

Goodbye Chow, Hello Rizzo

I got a letter in the mail from Chow; he has moved out of town.

Chow's goodbye letter.I started my walk around town and saw a summer camper’s tent! I went inside and said hello to Ace. He called his tent the home base of the ultimate camping experience.

Ace: Welcome to Ace's tent, the home base of the ultimate camping experience.
Does he really believe that, or is that just his poker face?

I played a game with him where I had to guess which kind of fish he caught. I guessed “large char,” but he said I was wrong. So he got to take my mega fizzoid for free.

I noticed a new house over in Puck’s acre. It belonged to Forest’s newest resident, Rizzo the mouse.

Meeting Rizzo.As I walked around the lake, I saw a big shadow in the water. That’s fairly unusual, so I knew it was probably something good. I fished it out, and it was a giant catfish! It’s worth 3,000 bells.

I caught a giant catfish!I actually talked to Belle for a change, and she was telling me about how she snuck into Static’s house to play NES games! She said Officer Copper chewed her out for that.

Belle: I snuck into Static's house to play NES, and I got caught!I had a lot of weeds in town, so I was pulling up as many as I could find. When I talked to Baabara, she asked me if I wanted to hear her dieting tips. I chose to say the “BO-ring!” option and she got quite offended. So she insults my weight, says that I have the maturity of a six-year-old, and then calls me a big loser.

Baabara: You big loser!
This is why I don’t like you, Baabara.

Over by the ocean, I made the mistake of speaking to Ursala. She forced me to buy some of her clothes.

Ursala: I'll do you the sublime favor of selling you my used clothes.It was one of those games where they list five items, one at a time, along with a price. For each one, you can buy or pass. But if you pass on the first four items, you are forced to buy the fifth one no matter what. In my experience, these games will have one item that’s priced under 1,000 bells, and all the others will be more. So I followed that strategy and bought the second item, a misty shirt, for 870 bells.

And since it’s Saturday night, I stopped over at the train station to watch (and hear) K.K. perform a song. He sang Imperial K.K. for me.

K.K.: You tapped for tunes? No problem. Dig this one, man.
