Goodbye, Friend

This afternoon, I suddenly realized that I never played ACCF yesterday! I was afraid I had lost a bunch of black roses, so I started up the game ASAP to check the damages. Fortunately, I didn’t find any black roses missing, as far as I can tell. But I did find lots of wilted ones, which will be gold roses tomorrow.

A number of wilted black roses.But that didn’t mean I avoided misfortune for the day. Tragedy struck when I went into Bob’s house. To my shock, horror, and disbelief, he was packed to move out!

Bob: I didn't get a chance to tell you until now. I feel bad that it's so last-minute...Bob was leaving me, without warning. Without a chance to change his mind. Bob has been in Forest since early 2009. Nearly the entire existence of my town. He had been my favorite villager for just as long. Lots of good memories with him, and with all my old Wi-Fi friends that liked him too.

Bob: Even though we'll be apart, we're always gonna be pals! We're like peanut butter and jelly! Huh huh!Forest will never be the same without him. In a way, Bob was Forest. This is truly saddening.

I reluctantly continued on to water my flowers. Pinky asked me for a new catchphrase, so I had her say “R.I.P. Bob.” But her heart clearly was not in it.

Pinky: R.I.P. Bob! Like, look at me! I'm happy!

My Weird Villagers

Tonight, Pinky was telling me how where she came from, they’d come up with any excuse to have a party. Even “Gramma’s day at the softball finals.”

Pinky: Gramma's Day at the Softball Finals.When I went to visit Octavian, he told me that many people don’t think his room fits his personality. I’d have to agree. I don’t know many octopi that are obsessed with outer space and have a collection of hazardous materials.

Octavian: You know, a lot of folks have told me this room doesn't really suit my personality...And outside of Nook ‘n’ Go, Becky was going on and on about how great Tom Nook is. Please, spare me.

Becky: I mean, without all the marvelous goods he sells, we'd be nothing more than animals!And Lily was rearranging the room in her head. What a weird frog.

Lily: I was just rearranging my room. In my head. What? There's nothing weird about that! Is there?I found two new black roses today. My gold rose collection is growing nicely…I think in just a few more months, I should be done lining all my paths with them. I’ve been working towards this goal for close to three years now, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’ll be sure to make a new town tour video once I’m all done with it.

Explorer’s Day

Today was Explorer’s Day (Columbus Day) and Tortimer was outside town hall to celebrate the occasion.

Tortimer: The finer points escape me, but today is all about exploring...stuff. I think...He was handing out sailboat models. Mine looked pretty nice with my wallpaper and carpet.

The sailboat model I got from Tortimer.I went around town to water my flowers and found a couple of new black roses. When I went into Octavian’s house, he was telling me about the “scandal” of Redd selling fake paintings.

Octavian: Hey, humanoid! You heard about the scandal? It's all about Redd, that shopkeeper in the city.You’ve got to love the faces he makes sometimes.
