Not Used

On Monday, I checked on my Guest character for the first time in months. He received a letter from Mom (about gardening), and it contained a very unusual item: It said “not used!”

An item called "not used" in Animal Crossing: City Folk that the player received in a letter from Mom.

It looked like a bag of flower seeds, and indeed, that’s what it was. When I planted it, it was some black cosmos. Perhaps because it’s a hybrid flower, it didn’t have a properly named seed bag? Regardless, it’s pretty interesting. I don’t recall Mom sending hybrids in the mail before, let alone any that said “not used.”

Playing as Jeff again, I started to realize that my house is a bit messy.

On Tuesday night, I built a snowman on the river bank. I immediately began taking pictures of it from different locations.

Goldie asked me to make a delivery to Monty, and she sent him a Dutch shirt. Monty hated it, and he said that even his grandmother knits trendier clothes. 😂

Monty: Oh, Goldie...I hate to be a jerk, but my grandma knits trendier stuff...

On Wednesday night, my previous snowman had slid over one spot (away from the river bank). So I built a new snowman in the spot where the first one originally was. Punchy came up behind it and gave it some ears.

Two snowmen, one with cat ears.

After I stepped away from the game for a while with the snowmen off-screen, I returned to find Tiffany in the river!

Without even trying, I triggered a glitch! The snowman on the river bank (or perhaps both snowmen) apparently interfered with the animals’ walking routines. By walking away and returning repeatedly, some more interesting things happened. This video shows it all.

By tonight, the original snowman had shrunk down to just a tiny little fellow. Oh, and the northern lights were out.

Pascal was in town, so I picked up a scallop to give him. In return, he gave me a keg…and some words of wisdom.

Pascal: If you beat yourself up, that means you lost TO YOURSELF! Oh, maaan, I can't even think about it.

I stopped by Nook ‘n’ Go to take another picture of the aurora.

As I came out of Able Sisters, Puck approached me and gave me a red grid shirt. But since Puck had earlier asked me for some new clothes, I spoke to him again and gave the shirt right back to him. He appreciated it (more than he should have), and he gave me 532 bells.

Puck: Uh huh huh huh huh huh! I'm gonna wear this to bed tonight for sweet dreams!
