Ugly Duckling

It was raining in Forest today, and even Alli the gator wasn’t very happy about it. I don’t mind the rain myself, since it saves me from watering flowers. While I do have mostly gold roses (which don’t need to be watered), I do have some purple roses (at Bob’s grave) and some Jacob’s ladders that I like to water each time I play.

Alli: Hello, boss. This is some very unglamorous weather we're having.My walk around town led me to a new house. Inside, I found an ugly duckling named Gloria! What an un-glorious surprise.

Gloria: Well, the rumors are true! I am the newly arrived Gloria that the whole town is talking about!When I stopped by Static’s house, I found that he was sick with a cold.

Static: COUGH, HACK, WHEEZE! Ugh...Grandma, is that...you? No? Oh...nice of you to visit, in a flash.
Are you nuts? Do I LOOK like your grandma?!

I went to the store to pick up some medicine and then returned to the squirrel’s house. I gave him the medicine and he gulped it down; hopefully he’ll start feeling better soon.

Static takes his medicine.Outside of the museum, I met up with Broccolo. He told me that he doesn’t liking talking about fossils with Blathers or constellations with Celeste. He said they get so excited that they keep rambling on for a long time.

Broccolo: Those two just LOVE nerding out over stuff they're into, on Tumblr.

June Bugs

I received Tutu’s goodbye letter in the mail when I started up the game tonight. She told me not to forget her when she’s gone. Wait, which one was Tutu again? 😛

Tutu's goodbye letter.I also got a letter from the post office, informing me that I’ve earned 99,999 bells in interest on my bank account. That kicked my balance over 27 million bells.

Your current balance is 27,010,000 bells.The new month also brings new June bugs, including oak silk moths and fireflies.

I caught an oak silk moth! Pretty? Or pretty hideous?!Pascal was standing on my bridge tonight, but his words of wisdom this time were a bit disappointing.

Pascal: You ever tried to play an oboe underwater, maaan? It ain't easy.I gave him a scallop, and in return, he gave me a sea view (wallpaper). He then jumped into the river, went over the waterfall (you otter be more careful!), and flowed toward the sea.

Tutu’s Adieu

I was surprised to see a striped alien when I went into Savannah’s house tonight! Ahhhhh!

A striped alien? Or just Savannah from behind?Fortunately, the alien turned into Savannah when it turned around. Whew.

I got another surprise when I went into Tutu’s house: She was all packed up and ready to move out of town.

Tutu: I know this is kinda sudden, but I've decided to move to another town.Tutu was never one of my favorites, but I suppose it was nice to have her in town for a while. I guess I couldn’t really expect a polar bear to stick around for long–even though it is cold of her not to give me any warning or explanation. 😛 Summer is almost here, and she probably needs to take her icy nature to a chilly climate.

Of course, Aurora is a penguin, and yet she can handle the weather just fine. She has trouble keeping track of her house key though, as she locked herself out of her house tonight. I helped her out by doing a little fishing for her key.

I caught a key! ...Whose key is this?When I returned it to her, she thanked me and gave me a nebuloid in return.

Wendell was also in town, and I decided to catch a fish for him (for a change). Once I caught the one I was going to give him though, I couldn’t find him! Then I realized, the clock recently struck 12 midnight, and that caused him to leave town immediately. I even confirmed with Booker that no visitors were in town. Oh well, I’ll put the fish in my house for next time.

Last month, I mentioned I was redecorating my basement. Since I didn’t post a pic at the time, I’ll show it now. It has an Arwing (from Star Fox) and a bunch of asteroids.

As you may know by now, it was for the video I was working on. It’s called “What if Animal Crossing Sounded Like Star Fox 64?” and it has clips from ACCF (and the original Animal Crossing) along with voice clips from Star Fox 64. If you haven’t seen it yet, or want to see it again, here it is. I think it’ll make you laugh. 🙂
