Gifts for Static

When I started up the game today, I found Broccolo’s goodbye letter in the mail. I think Broccolo is my favorite mouse in the whole series, although Chico (from the GameCube game) is up there too.

Dear Jeff, Moving day is finally here, and I keep thinking of the fun times we had. Those memories are what I'll take with me to my new town, not just boxes and stuff. -From BroccoloFreckles asked me to make a delivery to Static, and I agreed to help out. Even as I handed Static the gift, which was clearly clothing, he asked if it was a castanet or a cheese pizza. Maybe he needs glasses.

Static: A gift? From Freckles? What on earth could this be? A castanet? A cheese pizza?It was a noble shirt, and he seemed to enjoy it. When I returned to Freckles, she gave me a dirt-clod wall to thank me. Wow. Great reward.

A couple minutes later, Benedict also had a gift for Static! It’s not even his birthday! The gift was a cabin rug. When I returned to Benedict, he gave me a stone wall for my trouble. I’m noticing a trend. 😛

When I ran into Savannah, she asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. I had 15 minutes to find Savannah, Freckles, and Chow. Savannah was the first one I found; she was hiding behind her own house!

Savannah: Have you ever given any thought to becoming a telephone psychic, old dog?
I knew you were going to ask me that.

Later, I went up to the observatory at the museum. I made a constellation, and then deleted it…just to get Celeste to say this. 😛

Celeste: ...Farewell, Wii U. I reunite you with your starry brethren.See you all next week!

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.

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.
