I went into the city today and saw a scary sight…a Francine look-alike! It was Chrissy, who must be Francine’s (slightly less evil) twin!
Back in Forest, Saharah was out and about, looking for old carpets. As I went around asking my villagers for carpet, I noticed a new house and stepped in.
Peaches! She’s not homeless anymore! In a comment left on an earlier blog, Hannah informed me that when you see an animal in the city repeatedly like that, it means they’ve moved out of a friend’s town and they basically are indeed homeless, until they move into another town. Even though I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about the game, I never knew that.
And sure enough, Peaches moved in today…and she came from a friend’s town. Onett would be Ash’s town, and Ash just recently started playing the game again, so it all makes sense. So thanks to Hannah for teaching me something new. 🙂
Also, Peaches’ arrival marks the first time that a former resident of my ACCF town has moved back in. It’s happened many times on GameCube, but that’s because I’ve had my GameCube town for a long time. It was bound to happen eventually in City Folk too, and Peaches is the first to do it.
But moving right along, I eventually got old carpets from Pierce, Ruby, and Mint. That was three, so I took them to Saharah and exchanged them for a tropical floor.
One final note. While walking around town, I had my net out briefly to catch a bug. I put it away and then when I walked a bit farther, I saw a tarantula. My net being out had riled him up, so I couldn’t catch him the calm way (where he will slowly walk right up to you, if you don’t rile him up first).
So I backed up a bit, got out my net and he CHARGED at me! I swung my net…….and got him! It was the first time that I caught one the hard way, when it’s charging at you. I sold the tarantula, an oak silk moth, and a few other bugs I caught, and then I saved and quit the game.
