It’s a pretty time of year in Animal Crossing, because cherry blossom petals are now gently falling from the sky. On a less pleasant note, Tabby was talking about what makes her puke.

Perhaps Static overhead what Tabby said, because something made him sick. I gave him some medicine, so hopefully he’ll start feeling better soon.

As I was watering flowers, I fell into a pitfall right outside of Clyde’s house. The pitfall was hidden behind a tree, so I didn’t see it. Actually, this is where Merry used to live, and I often pitfall’d my Wi-Fi visitors here. 😛

Not far from there, I found a new house! Drift the frog was inside; he just moved in. He said it was good to meet me, but his face seemed to say otherwise.

Midge was talking about visitors from other towns, and then she started singing Cotton Eye Joe! 😛

Tabby asked to visit my house (no way!) to get decorating ideas. She said she needed some suggestions because “her honey” is going to visit her at some point. Who is her honey?! A blind beaver or something?

Tabby asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told her to say “crabby.” As in Crabby Tabby. She used her new catchphrase when she had a chat with Midge. Midge said that she wanted a big, bright house with lots of skylights. So Tabby called her a “trip and a half.”

After completing a trip around town, I realized that I hadn’t found any fossils today. So I made several more circles around town, this time making a more thorough search. And even though I found some weeds and gyroids I missed the first time around, I only found one fossil! The others must be hidden really well. I just don’t know where they could be, because I thought I looked everywhere. Oh well.

I received Champ’s goodbye letter in the mail today. He even had the snes sense to write it on SMB3 paper.

Kitty asked me to make a delivery to Samson, and I agreed to help. But really, why would a cat want to send a gift to a mouse? Still, I gave Samson the package, and it contained a dice shirt. Samson hated it.

I returned to Kitty and told her the news. She was a bit angry that Samson didn’t like the gift. But she gave me a gold screen wall for my trouble.

I rode the bus out to the city and got my hair done; it’s back to being brown now. And at Able Sisters, I bought a green tie-dye shirt. My Mohawk McClover outfit has gone back into storage until next year.

When I bumped into Tangy, she asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. So I had ten minutes to find her, Opal, and Midge. It took me over four minutes to find someone: I first found Opal hiding behind the empty house by the river.

Nearly two minutes later, I found Midge hiding behind Kitty’s house. And with about three minutes to go on the timer, I found Tangy hiding behind a sign post. This is where Champ lived.

For winning the game, I received a mega howloid from Tangy.

Today, Opal was walking around outside, holding a net. But she confessed that she has another reason for catching bugs: She can linger near her neighbors to listen for good gossip! She said her goal for the day was to catch two bugs and to hear five compliments.

When I went into Champ’s house, I was quite disappointed to see that he had all his furniture packed up in boxes. He’s moving out of town. This is what happens when you don’t play regularly–one of your favorite villagers may move away without you having a chance to stop them. It’s a shame he didn’t stick around longer. I’ll miss the guy.

Kitty asked me to make a delivery to Tabby, and I agreed to help out for some reason. The gift was a polar fleece, and Tabby just thought it was adequate. When I returned to Kitty and told her the news, she rewarded me with a cactus.

Tangy asked me for a yellow perch, so I went fishing for a while. On my way to Nookington’s to sell a bunch of other fish, Tabby noticed a carp in my pockets.

She wanted to buy it from me for 478 bells, and I agreed to the deal.

I continued fishing, but I never found a yellow perch for Tangy. However, I did fish a key out of the river!

The key belonged to Samson, who had locked himself out of his house. When I returned it to him, he rewarded me with a blue bookcase. Funny that he can carry around a blue bookcase in his pockets, but forgets to bring along his house key.
