Gator Goodbye

When I went to visit Alfonso today, I found out that he was all packed up and ready to move out of town. This was unexpected, but it’s no problem. Alfonso wasn’t in Forest in long enough for me to grow attached or anything.

Alfonso: Well, see, I'm actually leaving Forest. For good, it'sa me.At the Roost, I caught Phyllis enjoying a coffee before starting her shift at the post office. She was her usual non-friendly self.

Phyllis: Yeah, well... Um... How's it going? (Great, Phyllis. Now he's going to think we're friends!)Twiggy wanted to trade for a classic bed that I just picked up from the lost and found. But how did she know I had it? Turns out she has spies everywhere!

Twiggy: Tee hee... My spies are everywhere! I have birds and beasts and whatnot.

Fresh Bones

I got a letter from Jack in the mail. He told me to start saving candy for Halloween on October 31st.

Loyal subject, Round up all the candy you can so you can give it to me on the big night! -JackFang told me to forget about the fossil he asked me for last time. He said if he really wants bones, he can get some fresh ones. Yikes!

Fang: Seriously, if I want bones, I'll get some fresh ones, you know? But thanks anyway, toasty!By my northern waterfall, Static was telling me that he works hard to make sure he always looks good.

Static: I don't mean to boast, but I work twice as hard as the next guy to make sure I always look good.I headed into the Roost to catch a performance from K.K. Slider. I asked for a random song, and he played K.K. Bossa for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Bossa.Kitt was talking about clothes, and then she asked if she should wear this to the city. But then she said “child.” Was she calling me child, or was she asking if she should wear her child? As in “belt or no belt, child or no child?”

Kitt: I was planning on wearing this to the city, but I don't know, what do you think, child?I told her to go ahead and wear it. Child included.

Hungry For Fossils

Alfonso asked me to play hide-and-seek tonight, in his own unique way.

Alfonso: Your heart starts pounding and the butterflies in your belly start flapping around like crazy. It's so fun!I had 15 minutes to find two gators and a kangaroo (Alfonso, Allie, and Kitt). I quickly found Allie behind a house and Kitt behind Nook ‘n’ Go.

Kitt: Jeff, I'm impressed! How'd you know I was here, child?!A few minutes later, I found Alfonso behind a tree. It was an unusually quick game of hide-and-seek this time. Alfonso gave me a nebuloid as my prize for winning.

Alfonso: Since you're so good, I want you have to a nebuloid!My villagers were hungry for fossils today! A whopping four of them asked me to find fossils for them! Bunnie didn’t care which type of fossil it was, but Friga, Fang, and Twiggy had specific ones in mind.

Twiggy: I need an ankylo torso! Then I'd look smart and be able to ask questions about politics or whatever!On the bridge near the museum, I found Pascal hanging out. He was talking about kids squids, and how they never sleep.

Pascal: Squids don't sleep, maaan. They just close their eyes and pretend to snore!I gave him a scallop and he gave me a barrel in return.

When I identified my fossils, I found one of the ones I was looking for (Twiggy’s ankylo torso). I took that to her, and I also took a dinosaur egg to Bunnie. She was wondering where it’s been all her life. Is she some sort of dino Easter bunny?

Bunnie: It's a dinosaur egg! Oh, where have you been all my life?I don’t know if she’s going to try to hatch it, or if she just wants to decorate it. I was afraid to ask.
