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. 🙂

Conflicting Rumors

After Savannah finished unpacking, I made to check out her new home. I like the dual cabana armchairs with the music player in the middle. She and a friend can sit there are listen to music–the White Stripes maybe?

Savannah: Oh, Jeff! Welcome to my humble household! Make yourself at home.Last Friday, Tom Nook trashed his store. So to speak. Two of his three furniture items were garbage cans!

I refuse to buy this trash.

I saw a large fish shadow in the bay today, so I stopped to catch it. Sadly, it was just a sea bass, but I like how this picture came out with the windmill in the foreground.

Fishing in the bay.Ben and Tutu were both talking about Mac and Savannah today, but their rumors were nearly opposites of each other! Get your stories straight, you gossipy animals!

Tutu: So, like, Mac and Savannah seem like they get along pretty well, right?

Benedict: What's the deal with Mac and Savannah anyway? They're always so cold with each other.Chow asked me for a butterfly fish, so I did a few minutes of fishing to see if I could catch one. And indeed, I did track one down. When I took it back to Chow, he rewarded me with 720 bells.

Chow: Fine work, old dog. Fine indeed. Take 720 bells for the effort, up a tree!
