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.

Pink trees in Forest, and cherry blossom petals falling from the sky.While walking around, I stopped to wave at several of my villagers. That included Savannah, Static, and Coco.

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.

 

New Next Door Neighbor

Freckles was sick with a bad cold today, so I bought her some medicine. She flipped as she took it. Hey, she looks like a duck upside-down too!

Puddles flips as she takes some medicine.I ran into Tank outside, and he commented on my mohawk wig. Is it that obvious it’s a wig? 😛

Tank: What's that on your melon? A mohawk wig?He said if he had one, he would wear it to skateboarding practice just to mess with people.

I found a new house next door to me, where Broccolo recently lived. That spot never seems to stay empty for long. Cyrano once lived there, Del once lived there, and Elmer too (his 2nd time in Forest). I guess it’s nice to (almost) always have a next door neighbor.

So I went inside, and found Poncho the bear. He’s an okay villager, but I don’t think I’ll like him as much as Broccolo (or Cyrano, Del, or Elmer).

Poncho: Forest's shaping up to be pretty rad. Here's to life in the awesome lane, li'l bear!Savannah asked me for a spider tonight, and I hate to turn down any of her requests. But after shaking trees for a while, I found four bees (three of which stung me), but no spiders. Sorry, Savannah.
