Marina on the Move

On Thursday, Deena said that it felt like autumn snuck up on us. It always seems to happen that way, doesn’t it? 😛

Deena: Autumn just snuck up on us, huh, woowoo?!

When I visited Felicity’s house, I noticed that she has most of her bugs lined up on her back wall, next to her kitchen sink! Seems like a weird place to put them, unless she plans on cooking with them?

A while back, I gave Monty a catchphrase of “my key,” which sounds a bit like “monkey.” But yesterday, he used it after asking me to find his key, so it was a bit repetitive.

Monty: Hey, wanna earn major brownie points, kiddo? Wouldja help me look for my key, my key?
I didn’t help him find his key, his key.

Big Top also used his catchphrase in an interesting way, saying that fossils are like dirt-covered candy, in a coma. It kinda makes sense, doesn’t it?

Big Top: A huh huh! This shovel means it's fossil time! Fossils are like dirt-covered candy, in a coma!

Today, I missed out on another fishing tournament. But Chip informed me that Fang was the winner, with a 41.2-inch sea bass. Congrats, Fang!

I was saddened to find Marina all packed up and ready to swim out of town. 🙁 I’ll miss her, but it’s likely that we’ll meet again in one game or another.

Marina: I hope that we meet again someday, somewhere, I'm afraid!

On a more pleasant note, my savings balance reached a new milestone today: 74 million bells.

Your current balance is 74,000,000 bells.

I took a bus ride out to the city, and I even attended a Dr. Shrunk show at the Marquee theater! It was the “happiness” show, but his joke didn’t make me happy.

Shrunk: Huh?! Orange you glad I didn't say happiness again?

Elvis and Pippy were also at the show, and I loved what Pippy said about Dr. Shrunk. She’s scared of him, and she thinks he wants to eat her! 😮

Pippy: I'm, like, totally SCARED of him, li'l hare! I think he wants to eat me.

When I returned to Forest, I went over to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Salsa” for me.

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

And on the way back around to the shop, I shot down an orange balloon present. I found a block floor inside.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone! I’ll see you next time.

Solar Wolf

When I started up the game today, I found a letter from Rosie in the mail. She is over her cold now, and she thanked me for the medicine by sending me a deluxe range.

Fang was out enjoying the nice weather, and he said he thinks he’s actually solar powered!

Fang: Good to see ya! Some weather today, eh? I think I'm actually solar powered, I howled.
Aren’t you nocturnal, though?
How would that work?

Biskit asked me to deliver a gift to Mint for him, and I agreed to help out. But Mint wasn’t so sure that a gift from Biskit would be very tasteful.

Mint: From Biskit? I guess I shouldn't expect anything too tasteful from HIM then, hmm...?

But the gift was a birdhouse, and she seemed to like it. Well, she said “Wow!” When I returned to Biskit, he rewarded me with a cabin wall.

Several hours later, I played again at nighttime. There was a heavy meteor shower going on, and the little shooting star chime was going off almost constantly. 🌠

A shooting star flies overhead.

I went over to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night performance, and I asked him for a random song. He played “K.K. Chorale” for me.

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

Biskit had another request for me: He wanted a freshwater goby. I told him I’d help him out, and I tried. I tried and tried, but I wasn’t finding any freshwater goby! I eventually gave up and left his request unfulfilled. Sorry, Biskit! Maybe next time.

If you haven’t seen my latest Youtube Shorts video, with my animation of villager arrivals and departures for September, here it is. It was a busy month, with four villagers departing (across four different games) and another four moving in.
