Now that November is here, mushrooms can be found around town. That also includes a piece of mush furniture each day, which will be disguised as a mushroom (like this mush bed).

Big Top told me he was planning on moving out of town, but I told him to stay. However, that didn’t convince him. So I kept speaking to him to try to change his mind, and he wondered if I kept talking to him just because I liked his cologne.

Way too many of my villagers have started using Big Top’s catchphrase, “in a coma.” So when Deena asked for a new one, I jumped at the chance. I told her to say “I’m down” instead. Of course, it’s a pun on the down feathers that ducks have.

As I continued talking to Big Top throughout my session, he started talking about his desire to ride a bike alongside the river! I don’t think a bike exists that would support the weight of an elephant, but it’s a nice idea at least.

Rosie asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek, and I agreed to the competition. She gave me 15 minutes to find her, Fang, and Big Top. Within a minute, I found Big Top trying to hide behind Nook ‘n’ Go.

A few minutes later, I found Rosie behind the museum and Fang behind this sign board. So none of them actually hid behind a tree this time, surprisingly. And I found all of them within five minutes!

Rosie was frustrated to lose the game so quickly.

But she rewarded me with a tall nebuloid for winning the game.
Over by the museum, I shot down a balloon present that contained a koopa shell. Now I can relax and just kick it.

A bit later, Rosie noticed a walkingstick sticking out of my pocket!

She offered to give me a harp for it, and that sounded like a great deal (with no strings attached). 🎶
Even though I talked to Big Top many, many times, he never brought up moving again. So either he changed his mind about moving without explicitly mentioning it, or he’s still planning on moving and just didn’t bring it up again for some reason. But I had the game on for nearly two hours (though I wasn’t playing continuously), so I gave it up for the night.
Maybe I’ll give it a quick try again tomorrow or Sunday, but there’s a chance he might move. I’d hate for his stay to end this way, but I didn’t want to spend all night working on it either. Hopefully he’ll be okay. See you all next time!
