Gladys Moves In

Forest has a new villager as of today: Gladys the ostrich. She’s not a villager I’m very familiar with. I don’t remember seeing much of her in any of the Animal Crossing games.

Gladys: I just moved here. My name is Gladys.Cousteau, the Frenchie frog, was telling me how he always used to forget about bathing. Yikes. He admitted to being a “stanky” frog.

Cousteau: Well, I used to forget to take a bath all the time... And, dude, would I ever get stanky, wii wii.Bud asked me to make a delivery to Bunnie, so I took her the gift (a wrap shirt). She actually liked it a lot.

Bunnie: Bud sent me a gift? Wow, how did I get on the Lucky List?I then returned to Bud to tell him I made the delivery. He thanked me and gave me a robo-floor for my trouble. He also couldn’t resist making a pun about his name.

Bud: I mean, when you got a bud like me, it just comes naturally.

Trapped with Broccolo

Mallary has officially moved out of Forest. I got her goodbye letter in the mail.

Mallary's goodbye letter.The Bug-Off competition was held today, but I played much too late in the day to participate. Nat, the judge and taste-tester, told me that Kitt was the ultimate winner. She caught a 53-point diving beetle that beat out everyone else. (Whoever else participated must not have been trying very hard).

Nat: The 53-point diving beetle caught by Kitt from right here in Forest.Saturday night is K.K. night, and I just barely made it to the Roost before midnight. He performed K.K. Casbah for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Casbah.And when I visited Broccolo, I temporarily got stuck in his house! There was only one way out, and he was standing in that one corner! I was unable to push him, so I couldn’t force my way out! Fortunately, he did move out of the way after a short time, but it is a bit frustrating when that happens.

Broccolo blocks the only way out of his house.
Move it, mouse!

Duck Departure Day

Friga informed me that Wendell was in town today. Of course, I had no need to speak to the starving walrus, but thanks for the info anyway.

Friga: But he's always more interested in scarfing down food than showing off his designs!
Well the guy has to eat.

Today is Mallary’s moving day! At last! It’s good to see her all packed up in boxes. Get the duck out of town.

Mallary: I'm getting ready to move out of town, like we talked about.Fang told me he likes to get his buddies to hide in deep shadows. It sounded a bit creepy, but he was really just asking me to play hide-and-seek. Thankfully.

Fang: One thing I do is get some buddies to hide in the deep shadows, then I go after them, see?He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Kitt, and Cousteau. But first he had to use the bathroom.

Fang leans out from behind the bulletin board, to see if the coast is clear.After finding Fang behind the bulletin board, I found Kitt hiding behind Cousteau’s house.

Kitt hides behind Cousteau's house during a game of hide and seek.It took me a while to find Cousteau, though. He was hiding behind’s Scott’s house. With the game completed, Fang rewarded me with a mini howloid.

Fang: Here, have a mini howloid. You deserve a little something for that performance.
Getting a howloid from a wolf seems strangely appropriate.
