Chicken Wants a Peacock

Static may be staying in town, but he’s also staying indoors. That’s because he’s sick with a cold. I bought some medicine for him tonight, though.

Static flips as he takes some medicine.Benedict had an unusual request for me: He wanted me to catch a peacock for him!

Benedict: This is where you come in, old pal. Think you could catch a peacock for me? Oh, please?
Are you aware this isn’t a hunting game?

He meant a peacock butterfly, though. Besides, Festivale has already passed, so I couldn’t get PavĂ© for him now anyway.

Freckles asked me to make a delivery to Savannah, so I took her the item. It turned out to be some ranch flooring. When I returned to Freckles and told her I completed the task, she rewarded me with some cloud flooring. But Tank was all up in our business.

Freckles: Check it out! It's cloud flooring! Yep! All yours, doyoing!
Give us some space, Tank. I can smell your breath.

Saving Static

Among some other letters, I got a notice from the Bank of Nintendo in the mail today. It told me I earned 99,999 bells in interest this month. (This was my first time playing in April).

The normal trees in town now have pink leaves, and cherry blossom petals are falling from the sky too. They make town look so pretty; it’s a shame they don’t last longer.

Poncho got locked out of his house, but I didn’t feel like fishing for his key. These scenarios seem to show up almost every week (even though I don’t always mention it in the blog, unless I help them out). It’s really kind of annoying.

I rode the bus out to the city, and I checked out the Happy Room Academy. My main room was the model room for this month, and Lyle seemed jealous (and a bit angry) that I had a piggy bank in my house.

Lyle: Lyle's been BUSTIN' HIS CHOPS trying to find him a piggy bank!Back in town, Static told me that he was thinking about moving out of town! I told him to stick around, and fortunately, he agreed to stay.

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

Chow asked me to catch an orchid mantis, and later Freckles asked me for a tiger butterfly. I spent several minutes looking around for those bugs, but I didn’t run across either one of them. Oh well.

Collecting for Saharah

I started off my day with a trip to the city. I went into Shampoodle and changed my hair back to its normal brown color.

Then, back in Forest, I found Saharah. She was collecting old wallpaper, so I began asking my villagers if they had any. Surprisingly, Opal was offended by the question.

Opal: Old wallpaper?! What an insult!My newest neighbor, Poncho, was much more helpful. In fact, he was the only one of my villagers that had some old wallpaper for me.

Poncho: That old wallpaper...is super dusty. Don't unroll it, li'l bear!I put that old wallpaper in storage with one other one I already had there.

In Able Sisters, I bought myself a night sky tee. That was so I could put my club shirt back into storage with my mohawk wig.

When I visited Tank, he told me that he had an idea he wanted to pass along to the mayor. He wants to have a huge festival for rearranging furniture. He even said that he’s a certified instructor, so he could teach everyone how to rearrange furniture like a pro. I’m not sure I believed him. I mean…this is what his house looks like.

Tank's house, with most of his furniture in a straight line across the center of his room.I visited Benedict later on, and he told me that Saharah took his rug, even though it was stained with fruit juice and food. He said that if not for Saharah, he’d still be living with that gross thing.

Benedict: If it weren't for Saharah, I'd still be living with that gross thing.
Um, have you looked at your current rug lately? Just saying.
