When I spoke with Static today, he asked if I’d like to play a game of Cat Burglar and Private Eye. Once I agreed to play, he revealed that he was really talking about hide-and-seek. I figured as much anyway. He gave me ten minutes to find him, Samson, and Midge.
Three minutes into the game, I found Samson hiding behind a tree near the fountain. Another minute after that, I found Static trying to hide behind a sign post!
I probably spent too much time taking the above picture. I was waiting for him to lean out just right, and I got too picky. But I continued on my search. I ran into Groucho, and he told me he was thinking of moving away. I didn’t try to stop him.
There was only about a minute left on the clock by the time I made a full circle around town. I still hadn’t found Midge, so I began a 2nd lap around Forest. But by the time I made my way back to Samson again, time had run out. I lost the game. So I didn’t get a prize, and Static told me nobody expected me to win anyway. Thanks, pal.
When I met up with Opal, she told me she saw a philosopher standing on a bridge in town. I knew she meant Pascal, of course, but I don’t recall seeing this dialogue before. I don’t remember anyone referring to him as a philosopher, nor do I recall the game specifically telling you that scallops are what he desires.
Fortunately, I had a scallop attached to a letter. I took it over to Pascal on the bridge, and he gave me a ship deck (flooring) in return. He also advised me not to sweat the small stuff, unless it’s a virus.
Benedict asked me for a fossil, so I gave him an apato skull. He rewarded me with 520 bells; that’s not very much for a fossil! Then, he said he’s going to sleep with the skull tonight. Uh, okay…
In the western part of town, Opal gave me a new shirt–a kiwi shirt. I decided to put it on, since I was in need of new clothes. And this isn’t one of my usual shirts, so it’s nice to try something new occasionally.
While standing on the town’s southern bridge, Tangy told me that she was feeling bloated. She just ate 50 pounds of fruit salad! Wow.
Kitty locked herself out of her house, and I wasn’t interested in fishing for her key. But I was a bit surprised when I realized what she was wearing…the star bikini! Doesn’t she feel cold wearing it this time of year?
I spoke with Tangy, and she informed me of something that I didn’t even realize: Today is the autumn moon (aka harvest moon) celebration!
Since Mayor Tortimer was right up in my face, I chatted with him. He gave me a wheat bundle for the occasion of the autumn moon.
I didn’t take a picture of the wheat bundle, since I’ve shown it multiple times before. But if you really want to see what it looks like, check out 
When I visited Opal, she was sick with a cold. I gave her some medicine I already had in my pockets. I definitely don’t want any elephants sneezing on me. Talk about having junk in your trunk. Yuck!
I rode the bus out to the city, and I was quite surprised when I took a look at the new model room in the Happy Room Academy.
What was going on? I asked Lyle about the model room, and he said this month’s theme is the room with the most grown-up feel. And apparently, none of the rooms in Forest even qualified! So the empty room was just a default room for when nothing matches the theme.
Later on tonight, I returned to the game to take a look at the autumn moon. Have a good night, everyone!
