Rowan & Melba Walk the Aisle

Soon after starting up the game tonight, I saw Rowan and Melba over by town hall. They were standing side-by-side, perfectly still, and facing front. They stayed this way for several seconds; it was very odd. It’s like they were about to walk the aisle and get married.

Rowan and Melba near town hall, both standing still and facing the camera.I went to Lily’s pad to talk to her, and she was talking about the clothes she was wearing from Yann’s town Tropical.

Lily: I love wearing foreign designs. It makes me feel nice, wearing clothes you can't get just anywhere.I also spotted Pascal on one of my bridges. For once, I actually had a scallop for him! I gave it to him and he gave me a barrel. He also uttered one of his Pascal-isms and then jumped in the river.

Pascal: The final shape of an object is what decides its known form, maaaan.On a different bridge, I stopped to admire the sky…and a balloon present flying by overhead.

The clear night sky, with a present floating by, attached to a red balloon.And a bit later, Bob asked me to catch a shark for him. I told him I would, just so I didn’t disappoint him…but there’s no way I’m giving him a shark. You have expensive tastes. I’ll buy you some Fancy Feast and that’s it.

Bob: And what's mellower than an aquarium, Dr. J? It practically SCREAMS "SIT DOWN AND RELAX"!

Pinky Moves to Town

Jeremiah’s replacement has already moved in. I met Pinky today.

Pinky: I, like, just moved to Forest five minutes ago!And Saharah was in town today, looking for old carpeting. I went around asking my villagers, and one after another, they said no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Avery: Sorry, I can't help ya. Next time one of my rugs starts to look grungy, I'll save it for you, I drool!But with three villagers left to ask, my luck started to change. Two of them, Robin and Melba, had some old carpeting for me.

Robin: What great timing! I was about to go toss this one out! If you want it, I'll happily give it to you!So I had two, but that wasn’t enough for a rare carpet. I didn’t have any in storage, either. Oh well. I’ll save these for next time.

Anyway, when I talked to Bob, he gave me a new nickname: Dr. J!

Bob: In my dream, I kept calling you Dr. J!

Animal Talk

Out on a bridge, Felicity and Ribbot were talking about smells. Felicity said she went to the city and smelled a guy that smelled really good. Ribbot countered that nothing smells as good as a nice sweat stench.

Ribbot: C'mon, Felicity! I'm sure that was nice, but it's nothing like a good after-workout stench!Over in Becky’s house, Becky told me that I don’t speak politely! I don’t know what that out-of-season bird-brain is talking about!

Becky: Oh, hey! I've been hearing people talk about you! They're saying that you don't speak politely!And Rowan was saying we should have a fishing competition. He thinks he’s so good that he could teach everyone how to be a pro.

Rowan: I'm a certified instructor, so I could teach everyone how to be a pro, online!Outside, I spotted a tarantula. Unfortunately, it caught me.

Me passed out with my head lying against a tree, after I was bitten by a tarantula.
