Month: February 2013

It’s official: Egbert is gone.

One interesting thing I realized is that it was around this time last year (February 7) that he first moved into Forest. He couldn’t even stick around for a full year.

Anyway, I carried on with my walk around town. A notice on the bulletin board announced that Festivale is February 11th. That’s next Monday.

Yesterday when I played, it was too late to check the emotions available at the theater. So I checked them today.

Back in Forest, I stopped at the spot where Egbert’s house was. Well at least I can replace my path now. Although that’s not much of a consolation.

But Del seemed to have a different idea of what happened to Egbert.

Anyway, I watered my flowers and found two new black roses. I decided to shake some trees before I ended my game, but that didn’t turn out so well either.

Today I got my Happy Room Academy letter telling me my HRA score.

The mere fact that I got that letter is a mystery. I’m quite sure that I have my settings set to not receive HRA letters. It seems like this has happened a few times since I’ve transferred my town from my Wii to my Wii U. Has anyone else experienced this?

On my way around town, I found out Caroline is sick…and uh…koffing.

So then I went and bought Little Miss Primary Colors some medicine.

Avery asked me to delivery a package to Robin. It was a daffodil table.

Just a couple days ago, I saw a topic on an Animal Crossing forum that asked you to rank your current villagers. I made my list and I had decided that Egbert had moved ahead of Del and had become my 2nd favorite villager.  So that made the following surprise even harder to take.

Egbert is packed and ready to move out! He didn’t even tell me! I didn’t have a chance to save him! Ugh!

I wasn’t happy about that bit of news, but I grudgingly trudged along. I then told Avery I completed his delivery for him and he thanked me and gave me a cradle. A cradle?! What is he trying to tell me??

I ended up finding one new black rose today. I then finished up my night in Forest.

Today was Groundhog Day, so Tortimer was at town hall, handing out Resetti models.

At 10:00, I opened my Bananas gate. Fumiko (formerly known as Maria), Jake, and Matthew (Fumiko’s friend) came over to visit. I had a small patch of land filled with landmines pitfalls. I caught three people in them! Unfortunately, one of them was me.

After a bit, we went to The Roost to watch K.K. perform a song.

After the song ended, the game got stuck on K.K.’s “You’re a real gone crowd” message. I couldn’t move; I couldn’t do anything.

Jake and Matthew were moving around, but Fumiko and I were stuck. I didn’t find out until later, but Fumiko’s batteries had died. So that solved that mystery. But it didn’t take long for another mystery. Shortly after we escaped that, Matthew left town unexpectedly, without saying goodbye or anything. It always seems a bit fishy when people do that.

A bit later, Fumiko asked if her other friend Andy could come. Since no one else had come to fill the empty spot anyway, I agreed. I added him and he came over. We said hi and everything, and within two minutes, he said he had to leave. Again, not sure what to make of that. Oh well. Several minutes after, Megan came over to visit. After a bit, we went to see K.K. perform again.

We also marveled at all of the fish in the Bananas museum. Well the fish in there are all amazingly transparent, so we marveled at the rocks and seaweed instead. What a great museum!

We hung out in my house for a while. Fumiko’s batteries kept dying all night. We figured she must have bought them from Crazy Redd.

There were lots of mole crickets out tonight. In fact, we all caught one.

We ended up pushing Tortimer to the beach to see if he would return to town hall on his own; he didn’t.

And he even started walking in circles. We think he was drunk.

We eventually started talking about Mario Kart Wii and how we all had the game. So around 12:35, we decided to all go play some Mario Kart.
