Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead!

I opened my mail and got a goodbye letter from Yuka! Yes! Ding dong, the witch is dead!

Yuka's goodbye letter.I went around town, pulling weeds and talking to my neighbors.

Maple: Fine! Be that way!I also met my new neighbor, Alli Gator.

Alli: It's been sort of a pleasure meeting you!She didn’t make a good first impression on me.

Alli: I highly doubt you have a talented bone in your body.Emerald offered to buy a gyroid I had dug up, which I didn’t mind since my pockets were getting close to full anyway.

Emerald: I thought you'd never want to part with your metatoid!I saw Static by the wishing well and he offered to read my fortune for free. He told me my horoscope for today is super good.

Static: Super good!Before I was done playing, I decided to give All a proper greeting. Alli, meet Pitfall.

Alli, in a pitfall: What the--!?Here is a video of her walking right into the pitfall:

April Fool’s Day

It’s April now, and many of the trees are now pink.

Pink trees.It is also April Fool’s Day, and as Copper warns me, many animals in town will try to trick me.

Copper: Everyone in town will try to trick you with lies and half-truths, so be on guard!Tom Nook told me that all items are 90% off! But he then followed by saying “April Fool!”

Tom Nook: I'm having a special one-day sale. Everything is 90% off!I’m going to show you the pranks the other animals pulled on me as well. Genji told me he saw my gyroid swimming in the river like a shark.

Genji: I saw your Gyroid making like a shark in the river.Booker tried to tell me he lost 20 pounds on his coffee and donut diet.

Booker: I lose 20 pounds on my, um, doughnut and coffee diet.Tom asked me if I was alien. Just because a guy drives a UFO doesn’t mean he’s an alien. Come on!

Tom: What's up with that UFO in front of your place?Even “Mom” played a joke on me!

Mom: We've decided to give you your inheritance early! You're rich!Pelly’s prank was to tell me her and Pete were going on their first date. She then confesses that she wishes it really was true.

Pelly: Tonight, Pete and I get to go out on our first date.Candi told me that she would sell me turnips for 7 bells apiece. This one technically wasn’t one of the April Fool jokes, but it definitely fit in with the other pranks.

Candi: As a special offer, I'll sell you some turnips for just 7 bells each.Baabara told me that Copper and Booker are starting a comedy show.

Baabara: Have you heard? Copper and Booker and starting their own comedy show!Even Porter was in on the jokes. He told me Resetti is bald!

Porter: I've heard that Mr. Resetti has no fur underneath his helmet.If you play early enough in the day (before 6 p.m. I believe), Tortimer will be by the wishing well. He will give you a fake NES game called Super Tortimer (if he hasn’t already given it to you in a previous year). But I played after 6:00 today, so I didn’t get a chance to see him this time.

Gracie and Her Car

Today is the 27th, and fortunately I remembered that Gracie would be in town today. As usual, she complimented me on my bod. Do you think she’s being sarcastic?

Gracie: Oh, just look at you! Love your bod, babe! Tee hee hee hee.I washed her car as fast as I could.

Washing Gracie's car.When I was done, the car was spotless.

Gracie: I'll give you a piece of fine clothing, as I promised.So she gave me one of her rare shirts, a snow shirt.

Trying on the snow shirt by Gracie's car.It’s a bit out of season…shouldn’t Gracie of all people realize that fact? After that, my pockets were full and I couldn’t sell my stuff because Nookington’s was closed (as it often is when I play). I mailed away a few fossils to be identified, and then headed home to save my game.
