July Bug-Off

I saw Lolly up in the city today, wondering what was showing at the marquee theater. I wouldn’t know, since I don’t go in there any more, but it was good to see her again.

Lolly: I wonder what's going on over at the Marquee right now, bonbon...My old friend Puck was also in the city, talking about getting a haircut. He said his hair was shaggier than a shredded paintbrush! Really? It doesn’t even look like he has hair!

Puck: I was thinking about getting a haircut today 'cause I'm shaggier than a shredded paintbrush!Back in Forest, Lily was talking about today’s Bug-Off competition. But she said there was a problem…maybe she should try catching the bugs with her net instead of her tongue.

Lily: Everyone else entered, so, of course, I had to enter, too. But there's a little problem...Kiki wasn’t participating in the bug-catching. Instead, she was chilling in her house. She told me she put a lot of effort into her room. I tried not to laugh.

Kiki: I put a lot of effort into the look of my room... Can't you just tell?I circled around town and eventually spoke with Nat himself. He’s the judge of the Bug-Off competition, and he told me to find rare bugs for him.

Nat: In the mean, I ask that you search out rare bugs and bring them back here to me forthwith!I was a bit too lazy to catch any bugs myself, but I returned later to see who won. Octavian was the final winner, with a 55-point jewel beetle.

Nat: The 55-point jewel beetle caught by Octavian from right here in Forest.And before the night ended, I went up to the Roost to check the Saturday night performance. K.K. sang one of my favorite songs, K.K. Cruisin’.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Cruisin'.

Summer Night Chats

When I spoke with Kiki tonight, she told me of an interesting dream she had about Yann and polka music. (Kiki moved to Forest from Yann’s town Tropical).

Kiki: My old friend Yann showed up...and when she talked, only polka music came out...And Broccolo talked about how he says “eat it” too much. I wonder if he’s secretly “Weird Al” Yankovic. Or should I say Weird Al Broccovich?

Broccolo: Oh... I said eat it again, eat it.And in the Roost tonight, I caught Octavian enjoying some coffee. He said the coffee is rich and mysterious, just like him. To my surprise, I didn’t have any trouble saving this picture. Often, a glitch prevents you from saving pictures taken talking to animals here.

Octavian: The coffee here is rich and mysterious, much like myself.

Broccolo Moves In

As I started up the game tonight, I spotted a new house next door to my own. The new villager moved into the same spot where Elmer lived.

The new villager house near my own.I went inside and met Broccolo the mouse. I remember hearing of former ACCF friends who had him before and didn’t like him. But he seems pretty nice so far. And I haven’t even tried putting him in a salad!

Broccolo: Nice to meetcha! I'm Broccolo, and I'm so happy to finally meet someone from this town!Since it was Saturday night, I went up to the Roost to catch a performance from K.K. the singing dog. I let him choose a random song, and he performed K.K. Samba.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Samba.Outside, I ran into Friga. She told me she was going to buy a collection of western music. Uhh okay…that’s cool.

Friga: The sweet sounsd of western will fill my life soon!And I listened in on a conversation between Wendy and Ribbot. Wendy said she wants a boy to cook for her, but Ribbot said guys don’t cook.

Ribbot: Psssh! Cooking? Dude, no dude COOKS! We just grab old stuff from the fridge and chow down!Wendy then proceeded to call Ribbot a caveman. I didn’t know cavemen could be robots, but oh well. Have a good weekend, everyone!
