Animal Crossing in a Nutshell

Saturday nights are when K.K. performs music at the Roost, so I headed up to the museum to see him. I asked him for a random song and he performed Señor K.K. for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Senor K.K..I went around town to water my flowers. When I saw Miranda, she asked me for a new catchphrase. So I told her to say “duck ugly.”

Miranda: ...Duck ugly, huh?And Octavian was telling me how he sells fossils and other things for money. He said he’ll dig himself out of debt by selling various objects he finds. And that right there is Animal Crossing in a nutshell.

Octavian: That's it! I'll dig myself out of debt by selling assorted objects! Good-bye, loan payments, glub glub!

Late Night Chats

Lily approached me tonight, telling me Rowan insulted her choice in clothing. What, just because you’re wearing a caveman shirt? I told her it didn’t matter, and that she can wear whatever she wants.

Lily: If you love what you wear, you shouldn't let other people tell you to change, frogger!When I went to speak with Rowan, he was still talking about clothes. But he was just bragging how the chocolate pattern from Wendell makes his biceps look huge. Yeah, keep dreaming.

Rowan: People are into how it makes my biceps look HUGE. Well, they haven't said it, but I can tell.Elmer was over by the one empty house; he said he asked the ladies at town hall if he could use it to store his snacks.

Elmer: Even though I asked really nicely and promised to give her some, she said no.I went in to visit Pate, and she has these two gyroids in her house. They alternate between looking depressed and looking frightening.

Two gyroids in Pate's house. One looks scared, while the other looks scary.But Pate isn’t the only odd duck in town. I found Miranda walking in circles around a gold rose. I stood there for a while, and she just kept going and going.

Won’t he rust? He was only concerned with what people would think of him if he smelled good and had smooth skin. Well, they’d probably think you weren’t a robot, for one thing…

Ribbot: What would people think if I smelled good and had smooth skin?!

Ducking Out

The other day, the snowman I built sent me this snowman lamp in the mail.

A snowman lamp I got in the mail from a snowman I built.And last night, Pate talked to me about moving out of town. I barely know anything about him her, so I asked her to stay in town. She said she was going to move out anyway, though. We’ll see.

Pate: Well, I'm still gonna leave! Although I did think it over pretty hard, down under.Then today, it was snowing in town. That provided some relief from having to water my flowers. I spoke with several of my villagers, including Avery, who was sick and could hardly talk.

Avery: Huff, huff, huff... Can't speak... Too...painful, awk, awk.I bought some medicine for him and he gulped it down. Hey, no flying in the house!

Avery flips as he takes his medicine, appearing to fly.Every once in a while, I try to post an updated list of my current villagers. So these are the animals living in Forest: Ribbot, Lily, Pate, Miranda, Melba, Avery, Octavian, Nate, Elmer, and Rowan. That’s two frogs, two ducks, a koala, an eagle, an octopus, a bear, a horse, and a tiger. And here is a look at my current town map. I just noticed that no villagers live west of the river right now.
