I played on Monday (October 26th), and I found a goodbye letter from Peewee in the mail.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Dear
R.I.P. Peewee<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Static had a pop quiz for me, asking which of three aquatic creatures can’t be caught in this town (or this game, really). I correctly answered with “snapping turtle,” and Static joked that Kapp’n might become a snapping turtle if you poke him with an oar. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

My prize for winning was a modern chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ursala asked what my favorite fall event was, and I chose the sports fair. She started telling me how bad she is at throwing balls around.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

She said it makes her realize her arms can’t throw correctly. And she keeps getting hit by balls. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

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

I played again today, and Peewee’s replacement has moved in. It’s Gonzo the cranky koala, who has lived in town previously back in 2012<\/a>. Just seconds after introducing himself, he already told me I was looking as awful as ever! How the heck would he know?<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Gonzo:
You can’t talk. Your shirt looks like Homer Simpson’s face.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

That’s definitely not the best first impression, although I don’t really like ugly koalas anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hank was over by the wishing well, talking about Wendell the starving artist.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Hank:
Shaggy from Scooby-Doo?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

He told me that if I give Wendell some food, he will…do something. But Hank forgot what it was! Haha, silly Hank. \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n

Have a Happy Halloween, everyone! I won’t be playing in this game, but I plan to play some City Folk on Saturday night. Stay safe and have a good time! \ud83c\udf83<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
