It was raining in town today when I started up the game, and I found Mint seemingly waiting on me outside my house. She said that some people think walking in the rain shows that you’re sensitive, but it really just means you’re getting wet. 😛

I found a new house in the southwest part of town, so that meant that Punchy’s replacement has moved in! I went inside and found Biskit the dog!!

I like Biskit a lot, and I’m very happy to have him in town! Even if his blank white eyes look a bit creepy sometimes. 😛

Felicity asked me to make a delivery to Marina, and the gift was a military uniform.

It seemed like an odd gift, and I briefly wondered if Marina was going to join the army. But as I was walking away a few seconds later, it hit me: Not the army… the Marines! 😆 When I returned to Felicity, she rewarded me with an old board floor.

I returned to the game a few hours later for K.K. Slider’s show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed “K.K. House” for me.

June is here, which means that sharks are out now. I haven’t caught any of them yet this year, but I did catch something just as good tonight: A coelacanth! It’s worth 15k, just like a shark. (And several thousands bells more than a hammerhead shark.)

On Thursday, I knew for sure that Felicity wasn’t moving out. That’s because Punchy was moving out instead! And it was too late to stop him! 🙁

Oof. That made me wish I had just let Felicity move out. Any time you save one villager, there’s always a risk a better villager could go next instead. Well, I’m sure we’ll meet again, Punchy. Until next time.

Over by Able Sisters, I had a little chat with Rosie. Apparently, she just learned that there’s a third Able Sister.

But she didn’t know who the third sister was, or that she works at GracieGrace in the city. Rosie wondered if the other sister was abducted by UFOs or joined the circus. 😛 I went into Able Sisters and talked with Mabel, and she threw some shade at Gracie.

I rode the bus out to the city, and I spotted two of my all-time favorite villagers there: Bob and Goldie! 🥰

Yesterday, Big Top wanted to borrow Rosie’s DVD of Dr. Shrunk’s Laffs and Gaffes, Volume 7. But Rosie said she was short on money, so she was going to charge him 3,500 bells per week as a rental fee. Big Top wasn’t happy, and he said he could just buy it for that much.

Today, I received Punchy’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Monty asked me for a new greeting, and those are never as fun as the catchphrases. But I told him to make some monkey sounds, “ooh ooh ahh ahh,” to be specific. 🐵

Down at the Roost tonight, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Salsa” for me. It’s not a bad song, but it’s the same one he sang for me three weeks ago.

For a while now, I’ve noticed that Big Top had the ringside seating in his house. So I ordered him a judge’s bell to go with it, and then I mailed it to him. On Wednesday, I finally got to see it in his house. But when I rang the bell, nothing happened!

In some of the games (GameCube and New Horizons, at least), ringing the judge’s bell would make the crowd (on the wallpaper) cheer and you’d also see the flash of their cameras as they took photos. But for some reason, that detail isn’t in City Folk. That’s disappointing.

Nana asked me for a new catchphrase, and I wanted to tell her to say “for an ugly” like I also used for Bob in New Horizons. But that wouldn’t quite fit in City Folk, so I had her say “for a ugly” instead.

I ran into Pete delivering mail, and he laughed about how Phyllis actually said goodnight to him after work. Um, congrats? 😛

I played again tonight, and Big Top asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Felicity, and Punchy. That was plenty of time, so I didn’t feel rushed. I went around and did my usual routine.

Robin told me that she locked herself out of her house, and she was losing hope that she’d find it. But as she was speaking, I spotted something else that I just found… Big Top. He was peeking out from behind Robin’s house!

And as I spoke to him, I could also see Felicity from there, in the background! Look closely in the upper-right corner of this screenshot:

It was pretty cool how each one led into the next. It’s like the game was giving me hints to each one! But Punchy wasn’t in that same area, so the oddity stopped there. But a few minutes later, I found him near the museum.

Big Top rewarded me with a plinkoid for winning the game.

After that, I returned to the museum for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Etude” for me.

I never went fishing for Robin’s key, but she’ll live. 😛

I posted my latest City Folk Moments video today, so I hope you’ll check it out.

Update: Felicity never mentioned moving again this week, so maybe she’s safe. Either that, or she’ll be gone the next time I play. No clue. 😆
