Better Sleigh Than Never

Today I received Biskit’s goodbye letter in the mail. I knew it would be coming, but it’s still sad to say goodbye. He was such a good dog. 🐶

Dear Jeff, Moving day is finally here, and I keep thinking of the fun times we had. Those memories are what I'll take with me to my new town, not just boxes and stuff. I'll miss you! -Biskit

Rosie told me about a contest to find the next Little Miss Baked Ziti, and she asked if I would like to do it together. I assume she meant helping her out or whatever. 😛 But then she remembered that I was a guy, and she said boys are too stinky to enter.

Rosie: YOU can't enter! You're a BOY! Boys are too stinky to enter a contest like this. Everyone knows that.
You don’t have to be rude and call me stinky. 😛

I helped out Antonio by delivering a gift to Sydney for him. He thanked me for the favor by giving me a sleigh. It may be a bit out of season now, but it’s still an ice gift.

Moments later, Big Top wanted that same sleigh.

Big Top: Hey, could I have your sleigh to remind me of you?

I told him he could have it for free, but he paid me 368 bells for it anyway.

I took the bus out to the city and walked into Shampoodle. St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, so I paid 3,000 bells to make my annual transformation into Mohawk McClover.

Mohawk McClover stands in the Shampoodle salon.

Phineas was standing in the city, so I asked him for a balloon. Unlike last year, he gave me a red one this time…so it didn’t match my outfit.

Later on tonight, I returned to the game. I attended K.K. Slider’s show in the Roost, where he performed “Soulful K.K.” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Soulful K.K..

There was a meteor shower going on in the sky tonight, so I stopped to watch a few of them go by.

Two shooting stars fly overhead.
“Ahh, there goes two!”

Losing My Biskit

I received a letter from Big Top in the mail today, telling me that he is now over his cold. He sent me a shogi board to thank me for the medicine I gave him last week.

With Static moving back in recently, I’ve been thinking about what a great lineup I have here in Forest. Static, Big Top, Biskit, Rosie, and Antonio are among my favorites, and of course Scoot and Willow are pretty cool too. However, it’s hard to keep a great lineup together in this game, and one of my favorites is already on the way out (as I learned today). Biskit is all packed up and ready to move out. 🙁

Biskit: That's right, I'm leaving Forest. It's been great knowing you, but it's time for me to move on now.

When I visited Willow tonight, she said that it’s hard to stay in her house ever since someone wore a tacky outfit in her house!

Willow: Ever since someone wore a tacky outfit in my house recently...I've found it very hard to stay in it.
How is that possible? I’m the only one who visits you!

She said she even has the urge to move out! Wow, that’s quite a reaction to someone else’s clothes!

Willow: I've really been fighting the urge to move out, bo peep...

I went over to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s show, and he performed “K.K. Lament” for me. It’s a sad song, but that’s probably fitting for the day that Biskit is moving out.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Lament.

After the show, I ran into Rosie. She was talking about the Happy Room Academy evaluations, and how she gets creeped out imagining them snooping around.

Rosie: If I start to think about the creepy Happy Room folks looking in my house, I get kinda freaked out.

But then again, she’s also scared of gazpacho. 😛

Rosie: ...But I'm also scared of gazpacho, so you probably shouldn't listen to me! Tee hee hee!

No Dung

Yesterday, I received a letter from the snowman I built last week. He sent me a snowman bed to keep me cool as I sleep. But I just turned it into some cold hard cash instead.

Of course, the winter snow is gone now, replaced by the green grass of spring. So when Rosie asked me to catch a dung beetle for her, it was completely impossible.

Rosie: Yeah, so, Super J, would you pleeeease catch a dung beetle for me? Pleeeeeeeeeease?
Sorry, Rosie. I would if I could.

Big Top has been sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and today.

Deena asked me to deliver a gift (a lovely carpet) to Willow tonight, and I agreed to help out. Willow is so cute! Especially when she closes her eyes like this!

Willow: Hey, J-dog, thanks for going out of your way to deliver that to me.

When I returned to Deena, she thanked me for making the delivery by giving me 528 bells.

After selling some fruit, I was able to get my bank account balance up to 76 million bells.

Your current balance is 76,000,000 bells.

Later on, I went over to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night concert. I asked for a random song (as usual), and he performed “K.K. Waltz” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Waltz.

A couple days ago, I posted my latest ACCF video: City Folk Moments #32! A little birdie wants you to check it out.

See you next week!
