Recycled Fossil

Last night, I spotted this green balloon present while walking near the river. I shot it down and found a cube clock inside.

Bones was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine last night, and then again tonight.

Whitney told me she was thinking of moving out of town, but I was able to talk her out of it…after four attempts.

Whitney: But now you've made me realize that I have friends in Forest I can't leave quite yet!

Saturday is K.K. Slider night, so I checked out his performance. He played the song Neapolitan for me.

K.K.: Hey, Jeff. You here for a song?

I made a nice fossil discovery in an unexpected place: the recycle bin! Someone left a dimetrodon skull in there! I grabbed it, and sold it for 5,500 bells!

What makes it even more interesting is that the recycle bin was empty just half an hour earlier! It pays to check the bin each time you go inside town hall! Of course, valuable finds like this are pretty rare, but it sure is a nice surprise when they do pop up!

While bug-hunting, I found three scarab beetles last night, and three more tonight! I love this time of year in City Folk. 🙂

Yesterday, I posted the latest episode of Mario Plays ACCF. This time, Mario celebrates his birthday with some good news, and he fully pays off his house too. I hope you enjoy the video!

And if you haven’t seen this other video I posted last week, check out 7 More Things I’d Like to See in New Horizons. I can’t wait for that game to come out. 🙂

Roald’s Racquetball Robots

Yesterday, Roald told me he has always wanted to live in a huge house. In fact, he said his basement would go down 76 stories! At the bottom, he would build robots that can play racquetball! That’s one weirdly specific fantasy, dude.

Roald: It would go down 76 stories...and at the bottom would be a lab for building racquetball robots!

Bones asked me to make a delivery to Static, and the gift was a paw shirt. Static said it was Bones’ style. I guess it is, since Bones is a dog!

Static, wearing a paw shirt: Mmhmm... Yeah... This is Bones's style, for sure. Not bad, but not great. Let's see how it fits!

In the Roost, I found Whitney enjoying some coffee. She told me that she also wanted something sweet, like apple pie. But she knew Brewster would give her a funny look if she asked him for some!

Whitney: But if I asked Brewster to bring me something like that, he'd probably give me a dirty look!

I played again tonight, and Static was up to his old tricks. He told Goldie that she had something on her face. Eventually, he admitted he was just talking about her nose.

Static, to Goldie: Goldie, there's something icky on your face, zap it.

Sterling asked me for a plesio skull, and I said I’d help him out even though I know most specific fossil requests are impossible. However, when Blathers identified today’s fossils, one of them was indeed a plesio skull! I took it over to Sterling, and he rewarded me with some charcoal tile.

Sterling: Don't even doubt that I take care of my bros. You totally earned this! It's some charcoal tile!

Static wanted to move out of town, but I was able to change his mind. After a few attempts, that is.

Static: Whoa, old dog. What's with the long face? You really don't wanna see old Static go, huh?

I went on a short bug-hunting mission, and when I was done, my bank account balance reached 37 million bells.

Your current balance is 37,000,000 bells.

Wasted Wagon for Whitney

On Tuesday, Goldie again wanted to move out of town. I got her to reconsider.

Goldie: If you really feel that strongly, in my nest, I'll have to think a little bit more about my plans.

Whitney was looking for some new furniture, and she said she wasn’t picky. As long as it was something ranch, she said it would satisfy her. Nook ‘n’ Go had a covered wagon for sale, and that certainly sounded ranch to me. It cost 3,040 bells, but I can be nice to my villagers sometimes (contrary to public opinion). 😛 So I took it over to Whitney, and she seemed confused.

Whitney: Hmmm... This worries me. Why did you bring me a covered wagon?

You guessed it: She didn’t think it was ranch style. Ugh.

During a trip into the city, I saw that Crazy Redd had a ranch chair for sale. Now a ranch chair has to be ranch, right? I bought it, even though it cost 2,800 bells. I took it to Whitney, and this time, she was happy with the gift. But her reward for me was just 728 bells…after I spent around 6,000 bells on her. What a waste.

Whitney: Thanks, J-bot! I'd really like to give you 728 bells in return, snappy.

Roald asked me to buy his boxing mat, because he needed money to beef up his toothpick collection. Since I just spent all that money on Whitney, I turned down Roald’s offer.

Roald: Well...I'm a jerk. I guess it's hard for people to give the toothpick the props it deserves.

I got my net out and started hunting for valuable bugs. At one point, I caught a golden stag, while standing right next to Goldie. I made about 170,000 bells in just under an hour.

I played again tonight, and Puck asked if I had just pigged out on a bunch of veggies. I said yes (even though it wasn’t true), and he told me that his “honker” is never wrong.

Puck: I thought so! This honker's never wrong, brrrrrrrrr!

I shot down a balloon present and found a green pipe inside.

After making my rounds, I did a little more bug-hunting. I wasn’t having as much luck as I did on Tuesday, so I didn’t play quite as long. But I still earned about 60,000 bells on the night.
