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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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!

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!

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!

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

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. 😛

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.

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.
