Frobert Says Farewell

Today is Nature Day, otherwise known as Earth Day. Mayor Tortimer can be found outside of town hall, handing out cool globes.

Tortimer: On Nature Day, we surround ourselves with sky, sea, and land, and give thanks to the earth.I’ve received the cool globe numerous times already, but here’s a look at it in case you haven’t seen it before. This thing is bigger than me!

The cool globe in Animal Crossing: City Folk.Angus asked me to make a delivery to Broccolo. He was acting as if I had promised to help him out anytime he wanted (I didn’t). He was even using sarcastic quotation marks! He’d better start being nice to me or else he’s going to be surprised when he finds out what’s for dinner.

Angus: No? Weird. Well, I need you to keep your promise, even if you don't remember. Hop to it, toasty!I saw a pink balloon present floating by…and I hid inside of it! Well, behind it.

A pink balloon present. I was hiding my character behind it.I shot it down and found that it contained a flagpole. That’s funny, the present didn’t look nearly large enough to have a flagpole inside…

When I went into Frobert’s house, I found that he was all packed up and ready to move out of town. That’s disappointing, because I actually enjoyed his frogginess.

Frobert: So, I'm gonna be packing up and moving. It'd be a waste to keep biceps like these in one town.Bunnie was all cooped up in her house with a cold. I reluctantly bought some medicine for her.

Bunnie flips as she takes some medicine.I eventually found Broccolo and gave him the present from Angus–it was a tulip shirt. When I returned to Angus to tell him the delivery was complete, he thanked me and rewarded me with a lovely wall. He also offered me a root canal?!

Angus: You need anything, come to me, hear? Doesn't matter what! Help moving? Root canal? I'm your guy!Oh, no. The only way you’re going in my mouth is if you’re on a bun.

A Metroid from Gulliver

It was a nice, sunny day in Forest, and Frobert the frog was loving the great weather.

Frobert: Yo! Big bro! Dude, it's so nice out! I gotta go set some rays, toasty!But Friga wasn’t in such a good mood. She was complaining about not having friends, saying she watches rugby and eats tempura all by herself.

Friga: You know, I just watch rugby and eat tempura all by myself...Down on the beach, I found a crash-landed UFO and an unconscious Gulliver. It’s kind of funny that the UFO can endure long flights between planets, yet can’t handle getting hit by a pebble.

Gulliver the astronaut and his crash-landed UFO.I had to talk to Gulliver over and over, but I was eventually able to wake him up.

Gulliver: Boogity!I handed him his spaceship part; that will allow him to repair his ship and return home. Of course, his ship won’t disappear until tomorrow whether you give him his part or not.

Gulliver: You've found it! My...my interstellar astro-thingy! My missing spaceship part! Well done!In return, he gave me a Metroid. As you can see, it’s not my first one.

Three Metroids in my creepy furniture room.I had to shoot down 19 UFOs before I got my very first Metroid back in 2012. But since then, Gulliver has started to give me a Metroid nearly every time I shoot down his UFO! I guess he’s making up for all the trouble he caused me in the beginning.

First UFO of 2015

Fang sent me a letter to thank me for the medicine I’ve taken him recently. A blue clock was attached to the letter. I’m not sure how that fit in the mailbox, but I won’t complain.

Twiggy was talking about her old town, and how they used to throw parties for any old reason they could think of. Each spring, they would throw a party anytime a flower bloomed. In fact, they once threw a party over crabgrass!

Twiggy: It didn't matter what kind of flower. This one time we went all crazy over some crabgrass.Lily asked me to make a delivery to Broccolo, and I had just seen him a few seconds before, so I knew it would be a quick job. Once I returned, she thanked me by giving me 552 bells. There it is again! It seems that most of the times I get cash rewards for doing a job, it happens to be 552 bells! If you’ve been a long-time reader of this blog, you may remember me mentioning this before. There must be some significance to the number 552. Or the game’s random number generator is nowhere near random.

Lily: Here... Please take this. It's 552 bells. Just a small token of my appreciation.I later ran into Lily once again by Nook ‘n’ Go. She gave me a bit of a motivational speech. She said even when times are tough, look for the small things that make you happy. And she also had a flea on her.

Lily: If you can be even just a little bit happy every day, consider yourself ahead of the game, yeeowzitch!All indications were that today was a UFO day! And indeed, at 6:07, the UFO flew from west to east. I chased after it and hit it shortly before it could zoom away!

Shooting my slingshot at the UFO (Gulliver's spaceship).Even though I killed two gold roses in the process, that’s okay. I have extras to replace them. I believe this was my first UFO sighting sinceĀ March of last year, and I believe this is my first UFO shot down inĀ almost two years! That makes this my 27th UFO in total, and obviously, the first one of 2015. I found the spaceship part over by Mallary’s house.

Find the spaceship part behind a tree.I’ll have to play tomorrow to exchange my spaceship part for one of Gulliver’s items, so I should be back with another entry then. Of course, I’m not used to playing ACCF two days in a row, so hopefully I won’t forget!
