Pecan Splits Town

Saharah was in town today, looking for old wallpaper. I started asking around, and I was surprised to see Samson so eager to help me out. Just look at his face! 😆

Samson: Old wallpapers? Yeah, I got some!

Not everyone was quite as helpful. Bluebear even laughed at the thought of asking for old wallpaper.

Bluebear: Old wallpaper? Why did you buy an old wall? Tee hee, peach! Teeeeee hee hee hee!

I couldn’t ask Pecan about wallpaper though, because she was all packed up and ready to move out!

Pecan: I'm getting ready to move out of town, like we talked about.
“I’m nuts about this town, but it’s time to split!”

Actually, it wasn’t a complete surprise. I played last night, and she told me she was thinking about moving out of town. I tried to stop her, but I wasn’t able to change her mind after a couple of attempts. I thought I’d likely have another chance today, but clearly that didn’t happen. But I’m okay with that.

As for my wallpaper quest, Willow and Cube also helped me out. But when I was speaking with Cube, all I could think about was his table tennis table. How can he play ping-pong when he can barely see above the table? 😆

Cube: Huh huh huh! Doing nice stuff is like getting a bear hug around your heart, in a tray!

I took the three wallpapers back to Saharah, and she gave me an ancient wall in return.

Saharah: You bring me many wallpapers!

After making my rounds, I went out to the city. Phineas was there, handing out gifts. But I stopped to speak with a couple of the villagers there, and Gaston told me not to wait any longer. He wanted me to go get a gift from Phineas right away! 😆

Gaston: There's no need to pretend to be all grown-up for my benefit! Get over there and get yourself a prize!

So I did! Phineas gave me a bunny balloon. 🙂

Have a great weekend, everyone! I’ll be back for Halloween next week! Check out my Halloween Guide if you need a refresher! 🎃

Ewe So Nosy

I received a letter from Mom today, telling me she accidentally hit Dad in the face with her racquet (while playing racquetball). Ouch.

Dear Jeff, I tried playing racquetball with your dad, but I accidentally creamed him in the face with my racquet. Whoops! -Mom
There’s got to be a better way to say that.

Right outside of my house, Willow and Apollo started up a conversation. Apollo said he was looking for ideas for something to do with a certain someone. But Willow couldn’t concentrate on ideas, because she was more concerned with who the “someone” was. (The suspense must’ve been shear agony for her.) Naturally, Apollo didn’t want to reveal who he was talking about.

Apollo: All right, if you REALLY have to know, I'm talking about Nunya Bizness from the town of Shutyertrap!

That just angered Willow, and she said Apollo had a screw loose.

Willow: ...Oh dear, I think you have a screw loose, with yarn.

She continued, saying Apollo is living in a fantasy land that’s only in his head. That’s quite rude of her, but that’s a snooty for you.

Willow: You're living in a fantasy land. It's only in your head.

Apollo walked away depressed. 🙁

When I finished reading my mail, I found my blue zap suit that I ordered last week. It will be my Halloween costume this year, and I went ahead and put it on.

Sydney asked me to deliver a gift to Peaches, and it took me a while to track down the wild horse. 😛 The gift was a robo-wall, and she loved it. Sydney later rewarded me with a green counter.

Scoot pinged me and sneakily asked if I wanted to buy a fluffy shirt. He said he needed the money to buy a new…toothbrush?

Scoot: Pssst. Super J. Wanna buy a fluffy shirt?

He was acting a bit sus, so I declined the offer. Actually, I just didn’t want the shirt anyway. 😛

Strong Mouse Returns

Saharah was in town tonight, looking for old wallpaper.

Saharah: I came from far away. I wish to trade wallpaper. It is for wallpaper that I came to your town today.

See that house right there, on the right? It’s where Antonio lived recently, and a new villager just moved in today. It was Samson the mouse.

Samson: Yo! You must live right here in Forest!
He’s so strong that his ear goes right through the wall. 😉

He lived in Forest back in 2017-18, and he was one of the victims participants in my infamous Pitfall Pandemonium video. He must want some more of that! 😉 I’m fairly neutral towards him, although mice in general aren’t my favorite animals.

I recently gave Sydney a new catchphrase “in Oz,” and she used it tonight when talking about Saharah. She even seemed to call Oz a far-off, distant land. Yeah, that fits!

Sydney: I hear Saharah's in town, peddling her exotic carpets from a far-off, distant land, in Oz!

Willow was the first of my villagers to give me some old wallpaper for Saharah. In fact, she was very eager to help me out. Thanks, Willow!

Willow: I do! I do! Here, you can have it!

Pecan was the only other villager to help me out, so I had two old wallpapers. Fortunately, I also had two of them in storage. So I grabbed one of them and took three back to Saharah. Unfortunately, she only gave me a blue tarp in exchange. It doesn’t get much more disappointing than that. 😛

Peaches was sick with a cold, so I went back to the shop to buy her some medicine. While I was there, I also bought the daily piece of candy. Halloween is coming up in a few weeks, after all! Speaking of which, I also decided on my costume for this year. I was a pirate last year, a cavalier in 2024, and a mummy in 2023. So I wanted something different: I ordered myself a blue zap suit, so I’ll be a blue superhero this year.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
