Seeking Burglars

Last weekend, I received Queenie’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Dear jeff, The day has come for me to leave Forest. Thank you for making life here SO wonderful. I'll always remember you! -From: Queenie

Up in the sky, I saw the northern lights for the first time this season (and this year). I still think City Folk has the best-looking auroras.

The northern lights shine above town hall in Forest (ACCF).

Tonight, Roscoe asked me to play a game of Cat Burglar and Private Eye. He clarified that he would be the burglar, and I’d be the detective.

Roscoe: I'll be a burglar, of course, so it'll be your job to play the hard-boiled, tough-talking detective.
Of course, of course.

Of course, he was talking about a game of hide-and-seek. He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Antonio, and Grizzly. Since that is typically plenty of time, I didn’t rush. I went ahead and made my rounds. I first found Antonio hiding behind Roscoe’s house, and later, I spotted Grizzly trying to fit behind a palm tree.

Grizzly tries to hide behind a palm tree during a game of hide and seek in Animal Crossing: City Folk on Wii.

And with 4:56 remaining on the timer, I found Roscoe behind a tree near Mint’s house to win the game. Roscoe reluctantly gave me a tall buzzoid as my prize.

Roscoe: Way to, um, seek, Giddyup! I gotta be straight with you, I didn't think you had a chance.
Now I’ll throw you in jail, you criminal.

Up on the cliff, near the dead end, I found a new house. Astrid the kangaroo has returned.

Astrid: How much is it? ...What?! You're not here to sell newspaper subscriptions, my pet?
No more than you’re here to tell me my horoscope.

She lived in Forest pretty recently (from November 2020 until March 2021). During her stay, she did grow on me a bit…mainly because she helped me get rid of Kitty. 😆 However, I must admit that I’m not exactly thrilled about having her back so soon. I feel like there should be a 5-year ban on returning villagers. I’m getting a bit tired of semi-recent villagers returning lately.

Anyway, have a good weekend, everyone! See you again soon. 🙂

  1. I’m glad that Astrid’s back. But guess what? Bella finally left NOlivia! She’s been there since 5/20 last year!
