Flower vs. Seeds

Sunday was Mother’s Day, and I had a letter from Mom waiting for me in my mailbox when I played today.

Dear Jeff, Today (and today only), your dad is doing the laundry and cleaning. It's my once-annual day off, and I intend to enjoy it! It's my day. -Mom

She sent me a bag of pink carnation seeds. Out of curiosity, I decided to check to see what Tom Nook would pay for the seeds. As it turns out, he refuses to pay anything for the seeds, although he does offer to dispose of them for free. But if you go outside and plant the seeds, pick up the resulting flower, and then talk to Tom Nook, he offers 500 bells for it!

Tom Nook in Panel 1: But if you just don't want it, I can dispose of it, hm? Would you like me to get rid of it for you?
Tom Nook in Panel 2: Yes, yes, I'll take that for 500 bells!

So it’s worth more “used” than it is brand new. 😛

Violet lost her key and locked herself out of her house, so I went fishing for her key. I never did find it, but I caught several fish along the way. Goldie noticed an angelfish in my pockets, and she gave me 4,087 bells for it!

Goldie: Um, I should pay you for it. How does 4,087 bells sound...woof woof?
Sounds like we have a deal. Uh..woof woof.

When I took a bus to the city, I saw my mortal enemy Yuka there! She said she saw a stylish guy coming out of the salon the other day, and she seemed smitten with him. She then said she thinks he lives in Forest! Oh no, don’t even think about coming to Forest! Stay away from all my towns forever, please!

Yuka: I've GOT to find out where he lives. I've heard that it MIGHT be Forest.

Pig Fight

Punchy was sick with a cold today, so I bought some medicine for him. Get well soon, Punchy!

Punchy: If germs are so much tinier than I am, why are they kicking my tail so hard?

Both of Forest’s ugly pigs were walking around west of the bus stop, and they started up a conversation with each other. Rasher told Lucy there was something icky on her face. 😛

Rasher: Lucy, there's something icky on your face, swine.

Lucy tried to get it off her face, and then Rasher admitted it was just her eye. Unfortunately, Lucy didn’t have any good comebacks…even though Rasher’s face is considerably worse.

Another ugly villager of mine, Violet, was having coffee in the Roost. She was upset that the whole day slipped away from her. Join the club.

Violet: Wow, is it already 10? I let the day just slip away from me!

In New Horizons, I recently checked out the tarantula and scorpion in the museum. In that game, they are kept in separate displays. I was disappointed, because they were allowed to actually fight each other in some of the older games (including City Folk). So I made sure to visit them in the ACCF museum tonight.

So that Rasher/Lucy argument wasn’t the only fight in town tonight. 😛

Have a good night, and I’ll see you all next time.

Another Ugly Pig

I caught a flea that was hopping around on Goldie tonight, and she couldn’t believe it!

Goldie: No way!
Sorry, Goldie. Good dogs get fleas too.

With Monty moving out recently, I thought Forest was taking a step in the right direction. Some of the uglies were starting to leave, and things were looking up…or so I thought. But that hasn’t turned out to be the case at all. I saw a new house today, and this thing just moved in!

Rasher the ugly pig glares at me.

It’s Rasher the pig, and he’s worse than Monty! He’s also much uglier than my other pig, Lucy. Yikes.

Rasher: Huh?! Who are you?
I’m your worst nightmare.
But to be fair, you’re also my worst nightmare.

Static asked me to find a mantis…that he apparently already ate. 😉

Static: So, wanna join me on my quest to find the elusive mantis, I ate it?

It was already too late in the day to catch a mantis though, so I told him I couldn’t help him.

Pascal was in town, standing on a bridge. So I looked around on the beach until I found a scallop to give him. But when I took it back to him, I accidentally pressed the wrong button and told him to get lost! So he jumped in the river without sharing his words of wisdom with me. Oops.

Anyway, Punchy was sick with a cold. I bought some medicine for him and he knocked it down.

Punchy takes his medicine.
Get well soon, Punchy!
