Month: September 2020

I found a new dog walking around town, and his name is Walker.

The interesting part is that he was already outdoors and not unpacking. I must have missed his house when I played last week. But his arrival means that Forest now has three dog villagers, to go along with three cat villagers! There’s not much species variety in town right now.

• 3 dogs (Goldie, Bones, Walker)
• 3 cats (Tom, Purrl, Kitty)
• 2 pigs (Gala, Rasher)
• 1 penguin (Puck)
• 1 wolf (Wolfgang)

I went to the Roost tonight, to check out another dog: K.K. Slider. I asked him for a random song, and he performed K.K. Safari for me.

After the show, I listened in a conversation between Tom and Bones. No, they weren’t fighting like cats and dogs, but they were talking about food. Bones told Tom that yesterday, he ate some fruit salad with cream, and then shortcake with honey for dessert.

Leave it to Tom to turn that into something negative. He said that just hearing about all that food gave him heartburn, and he stormed off angry.

Not much else was going on, so I went around shaking trees. I actually got stung by bees four times! I’m so used to catching bees wasps in New Horizons, and the technique used in that game doesn’t work in City Folk. So I’m out of practice with ACCF bees. 😛

I did find two furniture items that were up in trees, though: a tea tansu and a pinball machine.

Have a good night, and I’ll see you next time!

Over by town hall, Purrl told me that Puck and Rasher have been fighting lately. She think it’s going to keep escalating, and there’s going to be a food fight before long.

I think Puck will have the advantage, because he’s already wearing a protective helmet. 😉

Bones was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine at Nook ‘n’ Go for him. Get well soon, doggo!

And just outside of his house, Purrl and Gala were having a conversation that started out very nice. Purrl complimented Gala’s outfit, and asked if it was expensive. Gala said it was a hand-me-down…but actually, she was wearing the guard’s uniform (DLC pattern). 😛

Anyway, Gala tried to return the compliment by saying Purrl’s face was looking lovely. But she then asked how much money Purrl spent on plastic surgery. 😮

As you might imagine, Purrl was furious about the accusation.

I tried going on a bit of a bug hunt, but I didn’t find much other than an emperor butterfly and a couple of oak silk moths. Even though you can find some good bugs in September, it’s hard. Because most of the bugs that spawn are worthless ground bugs, like crickets. The tree bugs don’t show up nearly as often as they did in the peak of summer season.

I rode the bus out to the city, and I saw my recently departed villager Violet there. She said she saw someone in the theater laughing hysterically the other day. She compared it to…watching a volleyball game on a stage filled with lasagna? I’m not sure I know what that even means…

Maybe they were just having noodles of fun.

I received Violet’s goodbye letter in the mail tonight.

Of course other villagers have also used this letter before, and I never really understood it. She said she hopes we bump into each other in Forest, but that’s not really possible in this game. Villagers are already gone by the time we get the goodbye letter.

Tom asked me to make a delivery to Puck, and it almost felt like I was playing in my GameCube town. What a throwback. 🙂 Tom and Puck have both lived in my GameCube town for over a decade.

Gala asked me for a new greeting, and I didn’t want to disappoint her by not helping. So I told her to say “Fry my sausage!” It’s just a general pig thing, and nothing personal. I wouldn’t fry Gala. 😛

I found Saharah the carpet-trader nearby, standing by that same ramp. Today she was looking for old wallpaper.

So I began asking my villagers for wallpaper. I couldn’t ask Kitty, though, because she was locked out of her house.

After completing my first trip around town, I still hadn’t run into Puck. But I eventually found him just south of the fountain…standing right next to Tom! So I gave him the delivery from Tom. He told me to thank Tom for him, even though Tom was standing right there. 😛

But I did thank Tom anyway, and he rewarded me with 532 bells for making the delivery.

As for the wallpaper search, Goldie and Puck each gave me some. But I had none in storage, and I was still one short of a special wallpaper from Saharah.

There was one option left, but it meant helping Kitty. So I went fishing in the river for her key. Thankfully, I found her key on just my 3rd try! When I took it over to her, she thanked me with a lovely wall. And with that quest completed, I was finally able to ask her about old wallpaper. To my surprise, she actually had one for me!

I took the three old wallpapers back to Saharah, and I exchanged them for a (rare) bathhouse wall.
