Bye Bye Blaire

Blaire moved out of Forest this morning, and I got her goodbye letter this evening when I started up the game.

To: Jeff, I wonder where I'll be when you get this letter? Well, I know I won't be in Forest, because I've moved away. Thanks for everything. And take care! -BlaireAvery asked me for a fossil, and I just happened to have one in my pockets. So I gave it to him and he gave me a steel flooring in return. But then he started acting a bit arrogant. He said he can charm his way into anything. Jerk.

Avery: Yes! My perfect streak continues! There really isn't anything I can't charm my way into, awk awk!Some of my long-time readers may remember my “hot spot” for hybrids next to Scott’s house. The two blue roses on the left used to produce a black rose for me fairly often. Well, the hot spot hasn’t been very hot lately, but they did produce a new black rose today.

Hide-and-Seek with Miranda

Today, Ribbot asked me if he looked like a cover model. I answered “not really,” and he got offended. Oops.

Ribbot: KA-BLAM! Humanoid! Do I look like a cover model for Shovel Stud magazine or what, I drool?When I saw Pinky, she said she had been looking for me all day. She said she was going to give me a cool shirt. But since she couldn’t find me, she used it to clean her sink instead.

Pinky: So I ended up using it to clean my sink instead. What a bummer. But at least my sink is clean!I ran into Miranda a bit later, and she tricked me into playing a game of hide-and-seek! She asked me a question, but it sounded like it was just normal conversation. But when I answered yes, the screen turned black and we were all at town hall. Anyway, I had ten minutes to find Miranda, Pinky, and Blaire. Pinky was the first one I found, hiding behind a tree.

Pinky: Aw, muffins! You got me, I drool!A couple minutes later, I also found Miranda.

Miranda: OH NO! Can't you pretend you didn't see me, I tweeted?It took me a full trip around town before I could find Blaire. She was hiding behind Scott’s house. With that, I had won the game and Miranda rewarded me with a mega drilloid.

Miranda: Still, you won fair and square, so here's your prize...a mega drilloid!Speaking of Scott’s house, I had ordered a GameCube dresser for his house. Scott has lots of hybrid flowers in his storage, and I got the purple roses for Bob’s grave from his collection. But several new purple roses have popped up since then, so I’ve been leaving them by Scott’s house to replace what I took.

But Scott didn’t have a dresser to access the storage! He had to go to the auction house before. So when this GameCube dresser arrived, I had him immediately put it into his house. It’s so much easier this way.

Pascal Appearances

Blaire approached me tonight, asking if she should move out of town. I told her to go right ahead.

Blaire: Hmm, I drool. Well, since you're giving me the thumbs-up about it, maybe I'll give it thought.Ribbot asked me to make a delivery to Miranda for him. I agreed, so I tracked down the pink duck. The present turned out to be a camel shirt, which she didn’t seem to care for.

Miranda: It's a camel shirt! Now, why would I get a gift like that?Since Pascal was right there (on my northern bridge), I decided to go ahead and give him a scallop. He gave me a ship deck (carpet) and advised me not to wake a sleeping person to give them sleeping pills.

Pascal: If you wake up a sleeping person to give them a sleeping pill, you're not helping, maaan.I then started searching town to see where Ribbot had wandered off to. Eventually I found him on my peninsula. I told him I completed the delivery, and he rewarded me with a ceramic tile.

Ribbot: I got nothing but thanks for you, though, humanoid. I appreciate it!And then, Pascal just happened to float by! I didn’t plan that or anything; my focus was on finding Ribbot and I forgot all about Pascal floating down the river. It’s kind of funny when you see him unexpectedly.
