8th Cranky!

Goldie’s replacement moved in yesterday, and I couldn’t believe it. It was Hopper the penguin…who is another cranky villager! MY TOWN NOW HAS EIGHT CRANKIES! This is insane! AGGGHHHH!

Hopper: Hey, what's the big idea?! When you visit my house, let me know you're here! Knock! Yell! Something!

The others crankies are Apollo, Grizzly, Gaston, Curt, Vladimir, Harry, and Tom. Here’s my full villager list.

My current villagers: Boomer, Queenie, Apollo, Grizzly, Gaston, Hopper, Curt, Vladimir, Harry, Tom.

Today was harvest festival day, and I found Tortimer in front of town hall. He gave me a knife and fork to use on the special guest of honor, Franklin. 😉

Tortimer: You know, if you want do the Harvest Festival right, you need a knife and fork, sprout!

When I visited Curt, I accidentally told him I had a knife and fork for him. However, I wasn’t about to waste my silverware on him. 😛 So I cancelled that, and he was disappointed. However, I was quite happy to disappoint him. 😆

Curt: Oh, thanks so much for getting my hopes up, then smashing them to pieces! Like all my dreams...

Perhaps I should have given them to him though, because I could have used the hint on where to find Franklin. It took me a whole trip and a half around all of Forest before I finally tracked the turkey down. (I missed him my first time by this spot.)

Franklin: You go your way, I go mine, and we just pretend we never saw one another.

I gave him the knife and fork, and he gave me a harvest mirror in return.

Tortimer gave me another set of silverware, and I resumed my search. This time around, Franklin didn’t have the best hiding spot.

Franklin tries to hide behind a sign post.

He rewarded me with a harvest clock. When I found him a third time, he gave me a harvest lamp. I sold the three items for a total of 9,999 bells. I hope you all had a great harvest festival, Turkey Day, and/or Thanksgiving! 🦃

I have now built my bank account balance back up to the 53 million bell mark. As you may remember, I dipped below it when I bought that throne a few weeks back.

I posted a new Youtube Short today, taking a (very) quick look at 11 things you could do in City Folk, but not in New Horizons. Hope you enjoy it!
