Games with Big Top

I received Static’s goodbye letter in the mail today. I knew it was coming, but it’s still a bit of a bummer to be reminded of my loss after starting up the game.

Jeff, It's been a blast, pal, but I've made up my mind and I'm moving far away. I've always been a drifter at heart: I'm going wherever the wind takes me. -Static

After making my rounds, I later went over to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. He performed “K.K. Folk” for me, and I actually enjoyed it. I particularly like the double howl he does at several points in the song. 😆

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

Over by the river after the show, Big Top told me that he lost some weight. Congrats, Big Top! Or should I say Medium Top? 😛

Big Top: Guess what! Um...I...lost some weight!

He asked me to play hide-and-seek with him, and I was game! He gave me ten minutes to find him, Scoot, and Tiffany. But it only took me a matter of seconds to find Scoot and Tiffany, who were both very close to the starting point! Big Top took me a bit longer to find, but that was just because he was in a different part of town. It had nothing to do with his hiding spot, at all.

Big Top tries to hide behind a sign post.

Big Top rewarded me with a mini sputnoid for winning the game. He seemed to enjoy the game even though he didn’t win, saying hide-and-seek is more fun than sit-and-eat. If that’s how he feels, then I guess that explains how he lost some weight!

Big Top: Hide-and-seek is even more fun than sit-and-eat!

Not much else was going on in Forest today, so I just sold some fruit and wrapped up my game for the night. But we have just three weeks until sharks return!

I hope you’re all having a good weekend! See you next time!

Static’s 2nd Stint Cut Short

Tonight, Scoot told me that he’s planning to have an all-nighter party. He said it’s going to start with an hour of knitting sweaters, and then we’ll go right into some power lifting.

Scoot: Kickin' off with an hour of knitting sweaters, then an hour of power lifting. It's gonna be H-core!
That sounds sew random.

Over at the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed “K.K. Soul” for me.

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

After the show, I went in to visit Static and I saw something I did not want to see. He is packed up and moving out of town! 🙁

Static: See, this whole moving thing came up so fast I didn't think I'd have time to say good-bye to folks.
I guess he just had to bolt. ⚡

It was great having him back in town these past couple months, but it hurts to see Static’s second stint cut so short. I guess I can’t complain too much when I still have him on GameCube and in New Horizons, but I really liked having him here too. So long, old buddy!

Sydney asked me to deliver a gift to Rosie, and I agreed to help out. The present was a tin shirt, and Rosie didn’t seem very thrilled about it. But still, she did put it on.

Rosie: And now, to try it on! Um...privacy please!

When I returned to Sydney to tell her the delivery was done, she rewarded me with a ranch wall.

Before wrapping up my game for the night, I gave Scoot a new catchphrase: “So scoot.” We’ll see if he uses it in any interesting ways in the coming weeks.

See you next time!
