I’m Not Your Grandma!

When I went to visit Fang today, I saw he was still dealing with that cold of his.

Fang: COUGH, HACK, WHEEZE! Ugh...Grandma, is that... you? No...? Oh...nice of you to visit, toasty.
I’m not your grandma!!

I went up to Nook’s to buy him some medicine, and it made him feel warm and tingly inside. Unless he ate three little pigs while I was out at the store.

Fang: Huh? Heeey! I feel all warm and tingly inside! Is this what happiness feels like, toasty?Mallary asked me to make a delivery to Angus for her, and I decided to be nice for a change. The gift turned out to be a kitchen wall, which brought back some memories for Angus. Maybe he narrowly escaped becoming a hamburger at one point?

Angus: A kitchen wall? That takes me back. Mallary's got a memory like an elephant!I returned to Mallary and told her the deed was done. She rewarded me with 552 bells.

Mallary: Oh, your reward! Please accept 552 bells, toasty.I spoke with Lily, and she said she loves the smell of unearthing a fossil…in a pond.

Lily: I love that smell of fresh earth when you dig a new fossil up, in a pond.I continued my walk around town, and I ran into Lily once again five minutes later. She asked for a new greeting, and I told her to say “I’m gonna croak!”

Lily: I'm gonna croak!! Teehee! It has such a happy ring to it, doesn't it, in a pond?

Bunnies Everywhere!

Fang was sick today, so I went up to Nook ‘n’ Go to buy him some medicine. I’ll never understand how sick animals, who act like they’re dying, are able to do backflips when they get their medicine.

Fang does a backflip as he takes some medicine.Bunnie asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek, and she gave me ten minutes to find her, Chrissy, and Prince. Those are three animals that should probably stay hidden.

Bunnie: Um, do we have everyone? OK! Now we're gonna hide, and you have to find us in under 10 minutes!I didn’t realize this until now, but with Chrissy in town, Forest now has three bunnies. They’re multiplying out of control! 😛 I have no interest in turning Forest into a bunny town (like Avenir) though.

Anyway, I began my search. Chrissy was the first one I found, trying to hide behind a palm tree in the southwest corner of town.

Prince: How did you find me?! I was sucking in my belly and everything!Broccolo wasn’t one of the hiders, but I stopped to have a chat with him briefly. He told me he was planning on moving out of town soon! I told him not to go, but he wasn’t sure if he could get out of it or not.

Broccolo: But I'll try asking if there's some way I can stay!With about two and a half minutes remaining in hide-and-seek, I found Bunnie hiding behind Guest’s house. I’m sorry, but she looks a bit creepy peeking her head out like this.

Bunnie leans out from behind Guest's house.Finding her meant I won the game! She gave me my prize, a mega oombloid. I know the prizes usually aren’t anything great, but a gyroid? Something she dug up from the ground? From someone’s grave? Surely you can do better than that.

Bunnie: ...Oh, well! It was still fun! Here's a mega oombloid for your trouble and stuff, toasty.I decided to test out my rusty snowman-making skills, and I think I did pretty good. This guy was happy with his appearance, so he should be sending me some furniture in the mail.

Snowman: I'll be looking fine when I represent Forest in the 2015 Mr. Snowman Snowslam!I later saw Chrissy from across the bridge, and I stopped to wave at her. Too bad I couldn’t use the hand that pops up to push her into the river. 😛

Sass and Coffee

In front of Nook ‘n’ Go, Fang and Friga were arguing about which one of them was more likely to scare children. Fang was saying that kids love him, while Friga only loves herself.

Fang, to Friga: You just like yourself, toasty.I found Lily nearly standing on my UFO pattern. Was she waiting for a UFO to fly by? Good luck shooting it down with a fishing rod.

Lily: So, J-pie, what do you think? How do I look with this fishing rod, in a pond?When I went to visit Chrissy, she asked me how well she was dressed today. Of course, she was standing behind a couch, so I couldn’t even see. But still, I told her she looked sloppy. I’m just nice like that.

Chrissy: Eek! For seriously?! Wow, I didn't think I was slobby at all. ...Maybe I dressed it down.In the Roost, both Bunnie and Phyllis were enjoying cups of coffee. Bunnie, who apparently didn’t have a face, was trying to look sassy.

Bunnie, in the Roost: I can make it look kinda sassy if I hold the cup just right. Think anyone will notice, toasty?But nobody can out-sass the bird sitting next to her. Phyllis is the queen of sass. Although she was trying to be somewhat nice for a change (until I heard her muttering under her breath).

Phyllis: Yeah, well... Um... How's it going? (Great, Phyllis. Now he's going to think we're friends!)To my surprise, I was able to save both of those pictures on the first try. If any of you have tried taking pictures talking to coffee-drinkers, you’ll know that a glitch of some sort often prevents those pictures from being saved for some reason. But it worked just fine tonight.

Just a heads-up: The flea market is coming this weekend. I rarely participate, but I know some people enjoy the opportunity to buy your villagers’ furniture or trick them into overpaying for yours. I’ll see you all next time!
