Frobert Moves In

Today is Wednesday, and it’s a true hump day–Saharah the camel was in my New Leaf town as well as my City Folk town today.

Saharah: I came from far away. I wish to trade carpets. It is for carpets that I came to your town today.She was looking for old carpets, so I began asking my villagers for some. However, Bunnie had other things on her mind. Like barfing. Eww.

Bunnie: S-s-so c-cold... Gonna b-b-barf...or whatever...Across the street from Bob’s old home, I found a new house. Antonio lived in that spot once, way back when I still had Bob. But I don’t think anyone else has lived there for a while.

A new house in the spot where Antonio once lived.Inside, I met my newest neighbor: Frobert the frog! He looks a bit odd, but he seems pretty cool.

Frobert: WHOA! You must be one of my new Forest neighbors!Even though I have ten villagers in town, I could only ask seven of them about old carpet. I couldn’t ask Frobert because he’s new, I couldn’t ask Bunnie because she’s sick, and I couldn’t ask Mallary because she was locked out of her house. Well technically, I could ask Mallary if I found her key and returned it first, but that wasn’t about to happen. The only villager that actually had some old carpet for me was Chrissy.

Chrissy: This one is pretty gross, but it's yours if you want it, toasty.I bought some medicine for Bunnie, and she drank it down. By doing a backflip, of course.

Bunnie flips as she takes her medicine.Since I only got one old carpet, I didn’t have enough to trade in to Saharah a for a rare one. So I just put it in storage for next time. But while I was in my house, I decided to clean up a bit. So I ate the chocolate heart that’s been sitting there since Valentine’s Day.

The Mohawk is Back

I made a stop at Shampoodle’s tonight to complete my transformation into Mohawk McClover. I’ll be wearing this outfit at least through St. Patrick’s Day.

Mallary: Could you please find me a blue sweatsuit? Then I could go around in style, toasty! Me: Can't do it.It’s Saturday night, so I stopped up at the Roost for K.K.’s weekly performance. I let him choose the song, and he went with some smooth jazz.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Jazz.Back outside, Friga was talking about the museum and saying Forest at least has a few civilized people. Yeah, most of the town residents act like a bunch of animals!

Friga: A great museum shows visitors that Forest has at least a FEW civilized people who love culture.Genji’s replacement has not moved in yet, so there are still just nine non-human residents. Maybe I’ll get a new villager next week.

The Last Slice of Pizza

When I started up the game this evening, I got Genji’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Genji's goodbye letter in Animal Crossing: City Folk.Even though I’ve long had enough gold roses to line all my paths, my surplus continues to grow. If I ever accidentally destroy one (or 20), I’ll have no problem replacing it (or them). I actually have even more extras besides these; they’ve sprouted up at various locations around town.

My collection of surplus gold roses.Angus asked me to make a delivery to Broccolo, and I told him I’d help him out. Fortunately, I found Broccolo about three seconds later. But Broccolo was scared to open up the package.

Broccolo: From Angus? For me? Oh, I'm so excited! Or maybe nervous? Or is it... queasy?I have one spot in town where four Jacob’s ladders have grown in a square pattern. They’re often wilted (thought not usually all at once), and I water them when I see them wilted, but they never seem to die. That’s a bit surprising considering I only play twice a week.

Four wilted Jacob's ladders all together.I saw a balloon present floating by, so I whipped out my slingshot and shot it down. Inside the box, I found a starman.

Shooting down a balloon present. Pop!I took the bus to the city, and I saw that the cones (that normally block off the Reset Surveillance Center) were pushed to the side. I walked in, and nobody was home. But I had my eye on the last slice of pizza… I wonder if they’d know it was me who took it…

One slice of pizza left in the Reset Center.I wanted to dye my hair green to dress up as Mohawk McClover (like I did in New Leaf today), but Shampoodle was already closed for the day. I’ll try to do it next time I play (if it’s early enough in the day).

I finished up my night in Crazy Redd’s shop. I saw a plant for sale, so I asked Redd about it. It was a pothos! I’ve been looking for a pothos for years! Just for my catalog checklist, that is. But it’s about time it finally showed up!

Redd: Oh, ho! I see you've taken quite a shine to that there pothos, yes?
