Carp Handshake

Last Sunday, I played again to try to save Big Top (if necessary). But he still didn’t mention moving, so I’m pretty sure he’s safe for now. Some of those bits of dialogue just don’t sound as conclusive as they apparently are. But after chatting with him for a bit, I took this photo of him…and my cat constellation up in the sky.

Big Top walks by in the background as I look up at the sky (and my cat constellation).

Yesterday, Mom sent me a letter about it being the season for catching colds. She actually sent me some medicine with the letter.

Dear Jeff, Wrap up and stay warm. It is cold season, after all. Make sure you've got a little medicine and a LOT of soup! Mom knows best! -Mom

Today, the November fishing tournament was held. It was a carp-only contest, and Antonio informed me that he hasn’t caught many carp…up his nose. I would never have even thought to fish there!

Antonio: So...a carp, huh? Haven't caught so many of those, up my nose.

Big Top told me about a dream in which he won the tournament. He was congratulated by a giant carp who shook his hand. 😛

Big Top: I dreamt last night that I won the tourney, and this gigantic carp shook my hand!

Monty asked me for some white furniture, so I tried giving him a mush TV that I found while picking mushrooms. He was happy with it, and he rewarded me with an exotic wall.

Monty: Finally, I won't have to live without mush TV things any longer!

Biskit was sick with a cold this week, so I gave him some medicine Sunday, Wednesday, and yesterday. By today, he was over his cold. He thanked me, and he said he’ll send me a reward in the mail (since my pockets were full).

Biskit: I'll never forget the taste of the medicine you gave me, or candy!

I caught two carp for the tournament, and I took them over to Chip. They measured 32.2 inches and 28.6 inches. However, neither of them topped Big Top’s top catch that was 32.9 inches. So I did not win this tournament.

Chip: Big Top caught a respectable 32.9-inch carp. Yup. Ate it with my own mouth.

I don’t know if that was the final result or not, but it looks like Big Top’s dream may have come true! Well, except for the handshake from the giant carp.

I recently posted a compilation of my top eight tarantula moments in Animal Crossing: City Folk. If you’d like to check it out, here it is:
