Trading Turkeyfish

Mac is now unpacked, and I was able to see the inside of his house yesterday. He has a doghouse in between two trees to pee on. He also has a pool and a beach chair; I like what he’s done with the place!

The inside of Mac's house.In the city,  I found the entrance to the Reset Surveillance Center open, so I walked right in. Resetti and Don were arguing about food. Apparently, Don took some of Resetti’s food without asking him. But there’s still a piece of pizza left, guys!

Resetti: Yeah, that's right, YOU said it. And here we are. You ate it without permission, so ya STOLE it!Stinky asked me for a new catchphrase tonight, so I told him to say “in undies.”

Stinky: In undies... In undies... FRESH! It's like breathing a glacier, in undies!After talking to him a few times, I started to wonder if I had made a huge mistake.

Stinky: Yo, boss! There you are, in undies.I did some fishing tonight, trying to catch a can. Yes, a can. It’s a hard fish to catch! 😛 It’s for a video I’m working on. I caught a boot at one point, but that’s not what I needed.

Alli noticed the fish in my pockets, and she proposed a very even trade. She wanted my zebra turkeyfish, and she was willing to give me…a zebra turkeyfish for it!

Alli: Do I see you have a zebra turkeyfish? That doesn't suit your style! My zebra turkeyfish is a much better fit!
Most pointless trade ever.

Once I gave up on fishing for the night, I took a trip out to the city. I wanted to check the marquee for two emotions, mischief and fear. Surprisingly, they had both of them!

Dr. Shrunk performing at the marquee.I’ll probably be back with another update in a few days, so I’ll see you then!

Mac Moves In

There was a new house in Forest today, and I found Mac the dog inside! I used to enjoy talking to Mac back in Sarah’s town years ago, and now I finally have him in my own town! Welcome to Forest, Mac!

Mac: Right on! Good to meet you. This is my first day living here. They call me Mac.When I visited Alli tonight, I found an unusual furniture arrangement. I’m not sure where all of her furniture went, but this is all she had left.

Alli's furniture all on the left side of her house.This isn’t the first time she’s had a strange setup. Remember five shirts and a stereo? But anyway, she asked me for a fossil. I didn’t have one on me at the time, but I later found one, had it identified at the museum, and returned to Alli’s house. Her jaw dropped as I gave her the pachy torso.

Alli: What?! Let me see that... It's a pachy torso!Tutu was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her. She chugged it down like Polar Pop.

Tutu: ...I drank that medicine and now I'm s-sweating like a beast.As she said, she started sweating like a beast. And let me tell you, a sick, sweating bear does not smell very good. I got out of there as quick as I could. But get well soon, Tutu.

I may be playing the game a bit more frequently than usual in the coming days or weeks, as I record some clips for a future video. So there might be more than the usual one entry per week–depending on how much happens in town on those days.

Ocean Cork

When I started up the game last night, I got Marina’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Marina's goodbye letter.Even though City Folk doesn’t have a Cherry Blossom Festival like the GameCube version of Animal Crossing does, some trees still turn pink and cherry blossom petals fall from the sky this time of year.

Falling cherry blossom petals.Today, I found Pascal standing on my southern bridge. I gave him a scallop and he gave me a helm in return. He also told me that there’s a cork at the bottom of the ocean that keeps all the water from draining out!

Pascal: And the government don't want people to know about it, maaaan!
It’s a cork-spiracy!

Near another bridge, Aurora said that there a lot of empty houses in town. That’s not true at all! The one she was standing by is the only one! Check your facts, penguin.

Aurora: There sure are a lot of empty houses in town, have you noticed? It seems like such a waste!A bit later, I heard a balloon present and shot it down. I was able to snap the picture in mid-pop. The present inside was a coin–the Super Mario coin.
