Tabby’s New Clothes

The day after I posted the Pitfall Pandemonium video, I walked out of my house and fell right into a pitfall! Did my animals do this for revenge?

Jeff struggles to get out of a pitfall in ACCF.

After putting some money into the bank, my account balance reached 31 million bells.

Your current balance is 31,000,000 bells.

On Sunday, Tom Nook had an orange cone, a bromeliaceae, and a garden gnome as his three furniture items for sale. What’s so special about that? They all have orange-ish points on top!

Is this a three-point (screen)shot?

The reason I kept playing over the weekend is that I was trying to save Tangy. Even though she never told me she changed her mind, I knew she was safe once someone else was considering moving. That someone was Static, and he agreed to stick around a while longer.

Static: And moving's such a hassle, anyway. All right, you've convinced me. I'll stay in Forest!

Today, Tabby had a request for me: She wanted new clothes!

Tabby: Remember, I need clothes that look good on ME! I'm counting on you!
I’m not a miracle worker!

I agreed to help her out, but not to make her look good. I looked through my catalog, and I wanted to get a moldy shirt for her. Unfortunately, it couldn’t be ordered. But I got her the next best thing: an ugly shirt!

Ugly shirt: 336 bells.

Once it arrived, I took it to Tabby. She loved it! (Seriously!)

Tabby: Ohmigooooooosh! It's a real ugly shirt!
It fits you perfectly.

Just for fun, I pitfall’d myself behind a large snowball. Unfortunately, it didn’t entirely block my face. But it was a cool place to just chill.

I have the opposite problem now. Everyone’s wearing them, and I’m tired of it. So I swapped out the bikinis in Able Sisters with some other designs. Maybe these critters will finally change their clothes.

Pitfall Pandemonium

On Wednesday night, I decided to have some fun with all the pitfall seeds I’ve been hoarding lately. I built a large snowman, and made sure Tabby was outside (so she could participate in the pitfall party I had planned). 😉

So I started trapping the five outdoor villagers into an area I had sectioned off. Some of the animals accused me of being a bully, but it’s for their own good! It’s so they can enjoy a fun pitfall party! 🙂

Clyde: Now you're just being a bully, Jeff.

I dug holes and buried 25 pitfall seeds. I left myself a safe corridor where I could walk around the large animal trap without falling in any pitfalls.

Before I started the fun, Midge seemed a big angry. But interestingly, I saw that all of the trapped animals had changed into rainbow bikinis!

Midge: Excuse me. Now's not a good time, tweedledee!

After falling into a pitfall myself (and replacing it), I started the party! Clyde was the first to get down, and Midge was next. But the others needed a push to get started. But I we had a good time.

Okay, well maybe they weren’t all happy about it…

Clyde: I feel like cotton candy that someone sat on...
Why the long face?

In other news around town, I found a weather forecast on the bulletin board. It said temps will be higher than normal, so ponds shouldn’t freeze over.

~Weather Forecast~ We're expecting average amounts of snow this year. Temps will be higher than normal, so ponds shouldn't freeze over.

This corrects a mistake that was in Wild World. In ACWW, the similar message said that low temps will prevent the lake from freezing. Oops. 😛

Static was feeling better, now that he’s over his cold. He didn’t thank me for the medicine I gave him, though. Apparently one dose isn’t enough.

Static: See? My face is all drained of color. Am I right, cluck?
Actually, you look a little blue. I mean, purple.

And speaking of purple animals, I found my old BFF Bob in the city. It’s good to see him again, even if he doesn’t remember me. *sniff sniff*

Bob: Hm. The shoe-shine guy doesn't look very busy right now...

Back in town, Midge tried to sell me a Nintendo Labo.

Midge: Hey, skippy, do you have any interest in this cardboard box, tweedledee?

Since she only asked for 112 bells, I went ahead and bought it. At least her price is reasonable.

Today, Tangy told me she was moving out of town. No, not her! That’s the wrong cat! I told her not to go, but she said she’s going to move anyway. I’m going to have to keep trying to save her.

Saharah was in town, looking for old carpeting. Opal and Static were the only villagers that had some old carpet for me.

Static: Anyhow, you've come to the right place. I just put down a brand-spanking-new rug, cluck!While attempting to save Tangy, she asked me for an MVP shirt. I ordered her one, and later took it to her. She seemed to like it, but then she rewarded me with a vision tester. Wait, didn’t I buy the right thing? 😛

Tangy: All I'm gonna do is give you a vision tester and be totally happy!

Just minutes later, I caught Kitty and Tangy gossiping about me! I swear, Kitty is always causing trouble. But the worst part is that Tangy had already changed out of her MVP shirt!

Tangy: No way!

I’m finally starting to see that Kitty is such a bad influence on everyone in town. She needs to go. Bad Kitty.

Tabby & Monkini

I found a new house in town, and I went inside. But what is this? It’s not Halloween! Is this a practical joke? No, Tabby has just moved into town. Ugh. Why?

Tabby: Well, I'm Tabby, and I'm the newest resident of your awesome town!
Why did I ever let Dotty leave?

Well, on the bright side, maybe this will motivate me to have my planned pitfall fun sooner rather than later. I’ll want to make sure Tabby is one of the victims participants. 😉

Static was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine. Get well soon, squirrel friend.

Static: Whoa, everything went dark for a minute just now. Was there an eclipse, cluck?

Champ the monkey became my latest villager (and the first male animal) to start wearing a bikini. It’s Forest’s first monkini.

Champ, wearing a skimpy bikini: You know, there are some cool handmade clothes out there, choo CHOO!Champ wears a bikini in ACCF.

Tangy asked me to make a delivery to Opal. The gift was a poncho, and Opal didn’t particularly like it. But she still put it on. Tangy then rewarded me with a round cactus.

Tangy: You totally have to take my round cactus! Go ahead, I'm a gem!
What a prickly situation.
