No Bones About It

I was thoroughly disappointed when I walked into Bones’s house today. I saw my doggy all packed up and ready to move out of town. 🙁

Bones: Well, see, I'm actually leaving Forest. For good, woof woof.

Even though I also played yesterday, Bones made no mention of his plans. He has lived here since January 2019. And his departure will leave Forest with just two dogs (Goldie and Lucky), after I had four dogs for a good while recently. I’m sad to see him go. The only good news is that I still have him on my New Horizons island.

Anyway, that wasn’t the only questionable move involving bones: Tom put two fossils (both apparently wings) right in front of his door. The back half of his room is clear and empty, but you have to dodge some giant bony fossils as soon as you enter.

Tom's wing fossils in front of his door.
Did you hire an interior decorator, or did you just wing it?

At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He played K.K. Lament, which is a good–but sad–song. That was okay with me, because it matched my mood today.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Lament.

Last week, I mentioned that the door to Katrina’s fortune-teller shop is rarely used. But very close to that spot, there was an even less-frequently used opening tonight:

A light is on at the end of the street, indicating the Reset Center is open.

It’s the entrance to the Reset Surveillance Center, and I found Don–but not Resetti–inside. He said his brother “Sonny” just went to get a massage at Myrtle’s Macho Mole Spa. 😛

Don: Still, when I see him moussin' his whiskers in front of the mirror, I kinda feel like gaggin'...

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone.

Hit in the Head

I received a letter from Bones today, thanking me for a delivery I made last week. My pockets were full at the time, so he sent me a pyramid in the mail. It sounds more like a gift from Lucky, but I’ll take it.

When I visited Puck, I did some snooping in his drawers. He needs to get organized! 😛

Jeff, looking in Puck's dresser: ...Someone needs to organize a bit.

Wolfgang was locked out of his house, with no one to help him look for his key. Too bad, so sad. 😛

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, so I headed over to the Roost to check out the show. I asked for a random song, and he played K.K. Safari for me. I’d be lion if I said I enjoyed it a lot…but it was alright.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Safari.

Gwen asked me for a fossil, so I gave her an icthyo torso that Blathers just identified for me. Gwen rewarded me with some plaza tile.

Nothing was going on in town, so I headed out to the city. I decided to visit Katrina to get my fortune told.

Entering Katrina's shop.
A door rarely opened.

I paid her 100 bells and she dropped a bucket on my head. Sounds like a fair trade. Or maybe that’s just the brain damage talking.

Katrina: YEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee!
This was not on my bucket list.

She said that fortune may favor me, or it may not. Something bad may be in my future, or it may not. I left her shop more confused than when I entered, and now with a headache too. I think this may have been a mistake. 😵

Dressing the Queen

Last night, Queenie asked me for a green tie-dye shirt. I just had to take a screenshot because of the look on her face. 😛

Queenie: Aha, Jeff! Just the person I needed!

I didn’t have that shirt, but I ordered one from my catalog in case I played again today (which I did). But more on that later.

Pascal was in town last night, and he said that only runners can see the faces of other runners. I guess he means that the runners are going too fast for bystanders to see their faces? I kinda get what he means, but it’s not quite true…unless the runners are running at the speed of light. 🏃

Pascal: Only runners can see the faces of other runners, maaaan. Ouch! My braaain!
His eyes looked a bit frightening as well.

I gave him a scallop before he plunged into Forest River, and he gave me a ship compass in return.

I later listened in on a conversation between Rasher and Gwen. Gwen said that she never does laundry because she just buys new clothes whenever her clothes get dirty. Wow, she must be rich to be able to do that! Hmm, is her last name Stefani? 🤔

Rasher: Gwen, are you really telling me that you never do laundry at all? Ever? Woof woof?

I played again today (Saturday), and the green tie-dye came in the mail. I took it over to Queenie, and she put it on, and then thanked me by giving me some checkered tile.

Queenie: What?! This is the clothing I asked for! You came through for me!

At the Roost, I asked K.K. for a random song, and he played K.K. Calypso for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Calypso.

I ran down the dead end (in the eastern part of town) and found Tom. He pinged me and told me he was thinking about moving out of town! I told him not to go, and he immediately agreed to stay.

Tom: Well, I guess I don't wanna be hasty before I just run off to a strange town...

I was glad he gave a definitive answer instead of being vague. But I think I’m lucky I spotted him there, because I don’t always go walking down that dead end. It’s pretty rare to find a villager there!

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
