Catching a Coelacanth

It was raining in Forest as I started up the game. I checked my mail; one letter was advertising a stunning dirt model for sale at Nookington’s.

Letter: We have a special offer today on a stunning dirt model.Another letter informed me that Alli has left town.

Alli's goodbye letter.So I went to go meet Alli’s replacement Robin, who lives in acre B-1.

Robin: Good evening to you. Do I know you, la-di-da?I then went into Nookington’s to take a look at that dirt model. Wow, how stunning. I’m surprised Nook didn’t say that toilet was stunning too.

A dirt model and a toilet on sale at Nookington's.Back outside, I talked to Tutu. She wanted me to help her get through the maze in the back of her Nintendo Power magazine. I hate these things.

Tutu: OK, let's keep going! Right or left?I went looking for a coelacanth, and after a couple minutes, I found one!

Would you look at that!After that, I stopped by the post office to mail a fossil away (and to deposit some bells). I also ran by the dump and then headed for home.

Mother’s Day

Today is Mother’s Day and I got a letter from home:

Mom: I'm always joyous on Mother's Day, regardless of whether you give me flowers or worms!Tortimer was at the wishing well talking about mothers. If this is your first Mother’s Day talking to him there, he will give you a lovely phone. Of course, it wasn’t my first time, so I didn’t get anything from him.

Tortimer: Mothers care for and protect us. They heal our boo-boos.Tortimer: I love my mommy!Ursala asked me to name the animals of the Chinese zodiac in order. I correctly guessed that rat was the first one, but I got the second one wrong. I don’t remember ever seeing this text before.

Ursala: Which one comes first?I talked to Static, and he was talking about Katrina the fortune teller.

Static: I got a reading from Katrina once. It made me feel strange.I talked to Kody, and he told me he can still see the cherry blossoms. He says they’re burned into his memory. Okaaaaaaayyyyy….

Kody: The vision of cherry blossoms is burned into my memory forever!It was raining, so I thought I’d do some fishing to look for coelacanths. I didn’t find any, but I did catch six red snappers and a barred knifejaw.

A Rainy Day

I started up the game and it was raining heavily in Forest. I changed into the racer shirt that I got in a grab bag way back on Sale Day. I talked to Candi and she gave me a peach (a foreign fruit).

Candi: I totally picked this one peach tree clean.I went into Nookington’s and saw they had a space shuttle (R.I.P.) for sale. I bought one for my house.

Buying a space shuttle at Nookington's.I talked to Belle and she said she wants to sleep all day, probably because the weather is so nice. Uhhhhh….

Belle: Maybe it's because the weather is so nice... I just want to lay in the sun all day!Hank was talking about how Saharah travels from town to town by walking everywhere. He then started talking about how fit she must be and how he wants to meet her. I guess he likes a shapely camel. I got out of there because I was afraid he was going to start singing My Humps before long.

Hank: I bet she's in really good shape! I'd love to meet her!I went fishing for a few minutes and I caught six red snappers. Not bad.

Six red snappers in my pockets.I then went to sell my fish, deposit some money in the bank, and mail a letter. After that, I headed for home.
