It’s early April, and that means it’s cherry blossom season! Aside from cedar trees and golden trees, all other trees (even fruit trees) will now be pink. In addition, cherry blossom petals fall from the sky. It’s one of the most beautiful times of year in Animal Crossing.<\/p>\n

\"Pink
Do you see me?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Down on the beach, I found a dead<\/del> passed out Gulliver wedged into a corner.<\/p>\n

\"Gulliver
That looks painful.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After I woke him up, he started to tell me a dirty joke. But he caught himself before he got to the punchline. So instead, he gave me an item from a far-off land, a shogi piece.<\/p>\n

Over at the wishing well, the main event was going on–the Cherry Blossom Festival. The festival runs for three days each year, April 5th through 7th. The atmosphere is very festive, with animals laughing, drinking, and dancing. Food is placed on the tables as well; it’s like an Animal Crossing party!<\/p>\n

\"Ursala,Genji was the dancing beast this year. He wanted me to lose my inhibitions on his bum! I think I’ll look for a better place.<\/p>\n

\"Genji,<\/p>\n

With all the food sitting out, I hope no flies get on it! But that wouldn’t be a problem for Tad–that just increases the amount of food available!<\/p>\n

\"Tad,<\/p>\n

But leave it to Static to turn a happy occasion into something sad and depressing.<\/p>\n

\"Static,Once I was done at the festival, I headed out to the island. I went over to the flagpole and raised the Cavs flag.<\/p>\n

\"Raising
Wait, I’m raising a flag that’s a picture of another flag. Flagception?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I then went in Ankha’s house to see if she used the ivory piano she made me buy her last time<\/a>. But her house was almost completely empty–nothing in here but a fossil and a spooky lamp.<\/p>\n

\"Ankha's<\/p>\n

So I had to speak to her to see what the story was. She again thanked me for the piano…<\/p>\n

\"Ankha:<\/p>\n

…and she gave it back to me! After all that trouble I went to!<\/p>\n

\"Ankha:<\/p>\n

I gave her a few whacks with my net before I returned to the mainland and ended my game for the day. In case you’re wondering, nobody moved in or out of town this time.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested, here is a video of the Cherry Blossom Festival that I recorded last year:<\/p>\n
