For a while now, I’ve noticed that Big Top had the ringside seating in his house. So I ordered him a judge’s bell to go with it, and then I mailed it to him. On Wednesday, I finally got to see it in his house. But when I rang the bell, nothing happened!
In some of the games (GameCube and New Horizons, at least), ringing the judge’s bell would make the crowd (on the wallpaper) cheer and you’d also see the flash of their cameras as they took photos. But for some reason, that detail isn’t in City Folk. That’s disappointing.
Nana asked me for a new catchphrase, and I wanted to tell her to say “for an ugly” like I also used for Bob in New Horizons. But that wouldn’t quite fit in City Folk, so I had her say “for a ugly” instead.
I ran into Pete delivering mail, and he laughed about how Phyllis actually said goodnight to him after work. Um, congrats? 😛
I played again tonight, and Big Top asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Felicity, and Punchy. That was plenty of time, so I didn’t feel rushed. I went around and did my usual routine.
Robin told me that she locked herself out of her house, and she was losing hope that she’d find it. But as she was speaking, I spotted something else that I just found… Big Top. He was peeking out from behind Robin’s house!
And as I spoke to him, I could also see Felicity from there, in the background! Look closely in the upper-right corner of this screenshot:
It was pretty cool how each one led into the next. It’s like the game was giving me hints to each one! But Punchy wasn’t in that same area, so the oddity stopped there. But a few minutes later, I found him near the museum.
Big Top rewarded me with a plinkoid for winning the game.
After that, I returned to the museum for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Etude” for me.
I never went fishing for Robin’s key, but she’ll live. 😛
I posted my latest City Folk Moments video today, so I hope you’ll check it out.
Update: Felicity never mentioned moving again this week, so maybe she’s safe. Either that, or she’ll be gone the next time I play. No clue. 😆
