Welcoming Wolfgang

I visited Purrl tonight, and she asked what I noticed first as I came through her door. I actually noticed her shirt first, but that wasn’t an option, so I said it was her. That made her feel really happy. 😛

Purrl: And I look even better when I'm appreciated!
I appreciate you, Purrl! 🙂

Kitty was outside, walking around with a watering can. She told me that she waters wilted flowers whenever she can. That’s a lie, but okay, sure, Kitty.

Kitty: I can't bear to see withered flowers, so I water them whenever I get a chance.

There was a new house in the spot where Static lived, so I went inside to investigate. Wolfgang the wolf was inside. He’s a cranky guy, but I guess he seems okay so far.

Wolfgang: My name's Wolfgang. If the boxes didn't give it away, I just moved into town today.

I headed down to the Roost to check out the Saturday night show. I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed K.K. Calypso for me.

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

After the show, Goldie asked me for some white furniture. Nook ‘n’ Go didn’t have anything white, and neither did the lost and found. So I took the bus out to the city, and I saw that Crazy Redd had a dice stereo for sale. It cost 4,300 bells, but my favorite villager Goldie is worth it. I bought it and took it back to her, and she loved it!

Goldie: You know, this is exactly as white as I'd hoped it would be!

She gave me a common floor to thank me. Not the best reward, but the true reward is her friendship. (Okay, that’s super corny, but I just lost Static, so let me be corny). 😛 🌽

Stylish Cereal Spills

I received Static’s goodbye letter in the mail today. 🙁

Jeff, Thanks for being here for me. I'm a better animal for knowing you. I'm leaving Forest behind, but I'll be thinking of you in my new home! -Your pal, Static

That letter was a keeper, so I went over to the post office to save it. Apparently the last letter I saved was Savannah’s goodbye letter, which was from three years ago this week. Those two letters are apparently the only letters I’ve saved in the post office since online play officially ended in 2014.

That got me thinking about my current villagers. Goldie now takes over the top spot as my favorite villager, followed by Puck and Bones. Purrl and Punchy are in the next group, and that made me realize that I have three villagers whose names start with PU. 😛

I have four villagers I dislike: Lucy, Rasher, Kitty, and Violet.

Anyway, I listened in on a conversation between Lucy and Puck. They were talking about having a picnic, and Puck didn’t want any healthy food there. Lucy suggested she could bring some lemon tea…sounds good to me!

Lucy: What if I bring a cooler full of lemon tea? It's just the thing for a picnic, I've always said!

Puck agreed with the idea too, although he said it would be even better if Lucy poured the tea into batter and then deep-fried it. I don’t think that would work out very well, but okay. 🍋

I visited Violet, and she was sick with a cold. And yet Rasher seemed to be feeling under the weather too.

Rasher: I should wash my hands more. And eat healthier. And drink plenty of hot cider.

At Purrl’s request, I delivered a black pawn over to Lucy. When I returned to Purrl, she gave me a Persian wall as thanks. Since Lucy was still standing nearby, I spoke with her again. She left out Purrl’s name when she said this:

Lucy:  owes you big-time, if you ask me. Thanks again, lone bone!

Purrl complimented Punchy, saying the tiny spots on his clothes were “dazzling.” Punchy said that it was just his breakfast cereal that he spilled on himself. It turned out that Purrl already knew…but she was complimenting him on how he spilled the cereal so fashionably.

Purrl: I was complimenting the stylish way you spilled on yourself!

I bought some medicine at Nook ‘n’ Go and took it back to Violet. Get well soon, gorilla.

Violet takes her medicine from Jeff in Animal Crossing: City Folk.

I recently posted a new ACCF video, City Folk Moments #10! Here it is if you haven’t watched it yet:

End of a Long Run

I was very disappointed, and downright sad, to discover that Static had his belongings packed up in boxes tonight. He’s moving out of Forest.

Static: Usually you're not super quick, and yet somehow you manage to pop up at a strange time like this.

Not only has Static been my favorite villager in town for years, but his exit comes five years (almost to the day) of his arrival. He moved in on May 20, 2015, and leaves on May 21, 2020.

It’s always sad when a favorite villager moves out unexpectedly. But when that villager has been in your town for that long, it stings even more. Maybe I just have a case of Static cling. I know I still have Static in my GameCube town, but that’s not helping much right now. 🙁

After saying goodbye, I went outside and tried to cheer myself up. I saw my two least favorite villagers, Kitty and Rasher, hanging out together. So I decided to pitfall them both.

Rasher, in a pitfall: Whaa!
Kitty, in a pitfall: Stop right there! Turn the other way! This is just TOO humiliating!

Punchy asked me to catch a tiger butterfly for him, but it was too late to find one (and I probably won’t be playing in the next day or two). So I told him I couldn’t help.

I went to the city and made a rare visit to the fortune teller, Katrina. I gave her 100 bells, and she bashed me over the head and gave me a vague fortune. “You must just remember that impressions of you are not affected by your own personal preferences.” I didn’t know what that meant.

Katrina: YEEEEEEEEEeeeeeee!

I returned to Forest, and…my day got worse. Kitty, of all people, was suddenly attracted to me! Yikes. Go away, Kitty!

Kitty: I can't stand downwind, because your scent makes me feel...wowie-wow!

After that, I just gathered some fruit to sell, earning about 60,000 bells. I found a lovely lamp in the recycle bin before ending my game for the night.

Good night, everyone! I hope you all have better luck with your favorite villagers than I did tonight!
