On Thursday (Feb. 20th), I received a goodbye letter from Buzz in the mail. This breaks a three-month streak of the most recent villager moving out after just a month (or less). <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Dear<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Buzz moved in back in early September, so he lived here for five and a half months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also found some valentines in the mail from Baabara, Maple, Belle, and Sydney.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Dearest<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Kind words, scary stationery, and she even included a garbage can with the valentine. Talk about mixed messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puck was talking about igloos, and he gave me some helpful advice about them: Don’t try to eat them. Thanks for that ProTip, man!<\/p>\n\n\n

I met Buzz’s replacement, Boris the cranky pig. After insulting my fashion sense, he gave me a star shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n

I found Gulliver down on the beach, and he told me his tale of fighting off pirates. Or sharks. Or driftwood. Whatever it was, he was lucky to survive! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n

He gave me a matryoshka, just like the one he gave me in December. And yet, he assured me I won’t find another like it. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was surprised to see Tortimer hanging out near the wishing well, and I was trying to figure out if it was a holiday I wasn’t aware of. It wasn’t, but it was time for his annual vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Tortimer:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

He asked me to turn the lighthouse on each night for a week, but I’m not going to do it this year. Sorry, Tortimer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked Tom for a job, and he asked me to get his camera back from Bangle. I agreed to help out, but I ultimately had to get the camera from Boris…despite him just having moved in. But Tom thanked me for getting it back, and he said he was wrong for thinking I was such a big dweeb. Wow, thanks. (He also gave me a pineapple bed.)<\/p>\n\n\n

I played again today, and I saw a notice about a treasure hunt on the bulletin board. A jukebox is buried somewhere in Acre F-3.<\/p>\n\n\n

Baabara asked me what I thought about how she dresses, and I said “It’s OK, I guess.” She got furious at me for that, saying I should look in the mirror…where I’ll see “an idiot…wearing moldy trash!” \ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\n\n\n

That was very uncalled for. She specifically asked for my opinion, and there’s also the fact that she doesn’t actually wear <\/em>clothes. She wears a scarf, and that’s it. So I got out a pitfall and re-introduced her to the ground. But don’t worry, because her “clothes” didn’t get dirty!<\/p>\n\n\n

I found Static inside an igloo today. Unlike Genji, who recently boasted about building his igloo himself, Static said that he got someone else to build his igloo. (Maybe that <\/em>was Genji.)<\/p>\n\n\n

When I spoke with Emerald, my speech options were “other things” or “I’d like to sell.” I chose the latter, because I wouldn’t mind selling something in my pockets. But she took that to mean that I thought she was Tom Nook. She “corrected” me, informing me that she’s a girl and Tom Nook is a guy. \ud83d\ude44<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Emerald:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

She told me to never say anything like that to her again! Wow. All I did was say I wanted to sell something.<\/p>\n\n\n

Before saving my game for the afternoon, I went down and picked up that treasure hunt item. The jukebox was buried right next to the lighthouse. It was so easy to find that there might as well have been a spotlight right on it. \ud83d\ude1b <\/p>\n\n\n

Later on, I started up the game again and returned to the lighthouse to turn it on for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n

However, this is the only night I plan on doing this, so Tortimer will be mad at me when he returns next month. Oh well. \ud83d\ude1b <\/p>\n\n\n\n
