Broccolo’s Sad Goodbye

It’s that time of year again. I dyed my hair green, put on a mohawk and a club shirt, and my transformation was complete. I am Mohawk McClover once again! As many of you already know, I become this character each March. I’ve been doing this every year since 2009!

Harriet: And here are your things back!Back in town, I got some bad news. Broccolo is moving out. 🙁

Broccolo: Oh, oh, it's boss... I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to take off without saying anything, so cheesy!Not only was Broccolo one of my favorite villagers, but he’s also the villager that’s been in town the longest…since 2014, in fact! I’ll miss him.

Static asked me to find a pill bug for him, so I went out and caught one for him. He rewarded me with a gold econo-chair.

Opal was infested with fleas tonight. On two separate occasions just 12 minutes apart, I found her itching from fleas! I caught the flea both times. She claimed someone gave her fleas the first time, and then she blamed the second one on a mud facial she received.

Opal: Someone gave them to me! Someone did this to me! Oh, just WAIT until I find out who, kerPOW!Opal: All those mud facials! What a price to pay for a radiant face like mine, kerPOW!After selling some fossils, gyroids, and fruit, I went to deposit some money into my bank account at town hall. My balance reached 29 million bells for the first time.

Your current balance is 29,000,000 bells.

Green Grass & Rain

The snow has all melted in Forest, and grass is green once again. I also changed my path back to the green bricks. But it was raining today, and Freckles wasn’t happy about that.

Freckles: I was gonna visit the city, but I'm afraid I'll slip in a puddle or whatever.When I visited Benedict, I saw that he was still feeling sick. So I bought some medicine for him once again.

Benedict flips upside-down as he takes some medicine.Savannah was locked out of her house again, so I went fishing to try to find her key. Along the way, Chow invited me over for drinks!

Chow: Boss! Just who I wanted to see! I'm having some folks over for drinks soon. Wanna join us?Sorry, but I had work to do. Fishing for a key. And after a few minutes, I found what I was looking for.

I caught a key! (animated GIF)When I took it back to Savannah, she thanked me and gave me a cabana chair.

Savannah: Here, it's not much, but this cabana chair should show you how much I appreciate your help!She also went inside her house, which at least makes me feel like I wasn’t fishing for nothing. Sometimes you’ll fetch a villager’s key and they’ll stay outside anyway.

Opal asked me for some retro furniture, and I was able to track down a retro TV for her. She thanked me and rewarded me with 720 bells.

Wearing Midna’s Mask

I had a letter in the mail from “TNPS” today, and I wasn’t sure what that meant. But then I saw that it was my Midna’s mask from Nook’s Point Tracking System. So I put on my new mask. It doesn’t exactly match my snow shirt, but it’ll have to do for now.

Me wearing Midna's mask outside of my house in ACCF.I saw a notice on the bulletin board that reminded me that Festivale is coming up on Monday (February 27th). It’s not my favorite event, but good luck to you if you choose to participate!

The three furniture items at Nook ‘n’ Go today were a storage case, a white golf bag, and a tiki torch. The tiki torch always reminds me of Survivor… and when I realized the other two items were basically a “work” item and a “play” item, this came to mind.

Outwork, outplay, outlast. (A storage case, white golf bag, and tiki torch).After going up the ramp, I noticed Opal down below. I decided to give her a shower sprinkle with my watering can.

Animated GIF of me sprinkling water on Opal.I found a house where Twiggy previously lived, so I went in to investigate. Inside, I found Freckles the duck. She just arrived in town, and she hasn’t finished unpacking yet. I also have her in my secondary GameCube town of Ohio.

Freckles: Oh! Hiya! I'm Freckles!When I visited Benedict, I saw that he was sick with a cold. So I gave him some medicine. He needs to be healthy before I cook him um, because being sick is no fun.

Benedict flips as he takes some medicine.After circling around town, I had a chat with Savannah. She asked me for some plantlike furniture. But Nook didn’t have any, Crazy Redd didn’t have any, the recycle bin didn’t have any, and I didn’t have any in my house.

My last resort was to try shaking trees. But the very first tree I shook had something else in it: Bees. And because my reflexes are practically plantlike, the bees got me. 😛 Although, this mask does hide my bad eye.

I got stung by a bee! Ow! Ow ow ow!When I ran into Opal again, she wasn’t being very supportive. But then again, I did dump water on her earlier, so I guess her rudeness was understandable.

Opal: So, why don't you go take care of YOUR face?I continued shaking trees, but I found more bees (four) than furniture items (two). And neither of those items were plantlike; they were a blue bookcase and a wooden box. Oh well, I guess I can’t help Savannah out this time. Hopefully there will be more opportunities in the future.

The snow will be gone by tomorrow morning, so enjoy the beginning of spring! 🙂
