Eagle Flies Away

Tonight, I saw the back of Tom’s head just below the similarly-shaped cat head constellation in the sky. 😉 I just had to snap a photo of the kitties.

Tom stands below the cat constellation in the sky.

When I visited Apollo, I saw that he was all packed up and ready to move out of town.

Apollo: I mean, it's not like I was trying to give you the slip! Seriously! I'm just bad at, you know, good-byes.

I’m a bit disappointed to see him go, but at least this will decrease the number of cranky villagers in town. Of course, the crankiness level of Forest will still be sky-high, even without this eagle.

Despite Apollo’s exit, I was still in a good mood tonight. So I told K.K. Slider I was feeling good, and he played K.K. Salsa for me.

K.K.: Here's a peppy number that'll make you flip. This one's called K.K. Salsa.

I later caught up with Chip outside of town hall. He told me that a fishing tournament was held today, and Tom was the winner with a 41-inch sea bass. Good job, Tom! He’ll be a star someday.

This Isn’t Blue

Vladimir came down with a cold today. As tempting as it may be to let the cranky bears start dying off, it unfortunately doesn’t work that way. 😉 So I gave him some medicine…but it didn’t seem to help just yet.

Vladimir: What? It's not...like the medicine's going to...work right...this minute or anything, sparkles...

Down at the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed K.K. Sonata for me.

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

I later visited Queenie, and I was snooping through her bureau. I think she saw me. 😉

It's surprisingly clean and tidy in here.

Curt asked me for some blue furniture, but Nook ‘n’ Go didn’t have anything that was clearly blue. But they did have a wave breaker, which looked like a slightly bluish shade of gray. It was only 1,408 bells, so I bought it. However, Curt bluntly told me it was not blue. Well it was the best I could do!

Curt: Hey, kiddo, you know this isn't blue, right?
Lay off me, I’m colorblind!

8th Cranky!

Goldie’s replacement moved in yesterday, and I couldn’t believe it. It was Hopper the penguin…who is another cranky villager! MY TOWN NOW HAS EIGHT CRANKIES! This is insane! AGGGHHHH!

Hopper: Hey, what's the big idea?! When you visit my house, let me know you're here! Knock! Yell! Something!

The others crankies are Apollo, Grizzly, Gaston, Curt, Vladimir, Harry, and Tom. Here’s my full villager list.

My current villagers: Boomer, Queenie, Apollo, Grizzly, Gaston, Hopper, Curt, Vladimir, Harry, Tom.

Today was harvest festival day, and I found Tortimer in front of town hall. He gave me a knife and fork to use on the special guest of honor, Franklin. 😉

Tortimer: You know, if you want do the Harvest Festival right, you need a knife and fork, sprout!

When I visited Curt, I accidentally told him I had a knife and fork for him. However, I wasn’t about to waste my silverware on him. 😛 So I cancelled that, and he was disappointed. However, I was quite happy to disappoint him. 😆

Curt: Oh, thanks so much for getting my hopes up, then smashing them to pieces! Like all my dreams...

Perhaps I should have given them to him though, because I could have used the hint on where to find Franklin. It took me a whole trip and a half around all of Forest before I finally tracked the turkey down. (I missed him my first time by this spot.)

Franklin: You go your way, I go mine, and we just pretend we never saw one another.

I gave him the knife and fork, and he gave me a harvest mirror in return.

Tortimer gave me another set of silverware, and I resumed my search. This time around, Franklin didn’t have the best hiding spot.

Franklin tries to hide behind a sign post.

He rewarded me with a harvest clock. When I found him a third time, he gave me a harvest lamp. I sold the three items for a total of 9,999 bells. I hope you all had a great harvest festival, Turkey Day, and/or Thanksgiving! 🦃

I have now built my bank account balance back up to the 53 million bell mark. As you may remember, I dipped below it when I bought that throne a few weeks back.

I posted a new Youtube Short today, taking a (very) quick look at 11 things you could do in City Folk, but not in New Horizons. Hope you enjoy it!
