Curly Leaving Early

With fall approaching, I decided to change my clothes for the first time in a couple months. 😆 At Able Sisters, almost everything still looked summer-like…except for this gray tartan. So I bought it and put it on. For now, at least.

Mabel: Oh, that looks absolutely perfect on you! Shall I wrap it up?

As the sun was going down, the sky was clear and it looked really pretty. I could see some of my constellations in the sky above, and I snapped a photo.

The pretty evening sky in Animal Crossing: City Folk.

This area does look a little empty, even if the camera did hide a tree or two when I looked up at the sky. This is essentially where I held my Pitfall Pandemonium six years ago, and I apparently never fully replenished the trees that used to reside here.

When I went in to visit Curly, I was surprised to find him packed up and ready to ditch town!

Curly: So, I'm gonna be packing up and moving. It'd be a waste to keep biceps like these in one town.

He’s only lived in town for five months, and honestly, it doesn’t even feel like it’s been that long. Maybe he found Forest life to be a boar bore. I’m a little sad to see him go, but I’m sure we’ll meet again somewhere. In one universe town or another.

After 8:00, I checked out K.K. Slider’s show at the Roost. I asked for a random song, and he played K.K. Dixie for me.

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

After the show, I took the long way home, walking along the beach. Maybe it’s the nostalgia of the 8 p.m. music, but I feel like I already miss bug-catching season…even though it just ended two weeks ago. I didn’t play as much this summer as I did last summer, and I’m just a bit sad that it’s gone. Or maybe I’m just in a weird mood tonight. 😛

See you next time. Never Stop Crossing.

Saddled

When I visited Roscoe tonight, he asked me to make a delivery for him. I agreed to help out, and he said he was sorry to saddle me with this. 😆

Roscoe: You're a real pal, pop star. Sorry to saddle you with this.

I took the item over to Mint, and it was a leopard shirt. Mint was flabbergasted that Roscoe would send such an item. She seemed horrified.

Mint: It's a leopard shirt! Now, why would I get a gift like that?

And yet, she put it on anyway! Go figure.

When I returned to Roscoe, he moped that he didn’t know that “noodlehead” Mint as well as he thought. But he gave me 520 bells for making the delivery.

Roscoe: I guess I just don't know that noodlehead as well as I thought. Sigh. Giidyup.

At the Roost, I checked out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song, and he performed K.K. Blues for me. It’s not the most exciting song, but it was alright.

At Midge’s house, I was looking through her drawers and I learned that someone “a little obsessive” lives here. 😆

Hmmm, someone a little obsessive lives here.

Wait, am I thinking that to myself? Or am I saying it out loud? Or is an unseen narrator saying it to me?? 🤔

Even though peak bug season is over, I was still happy to see (and catch) a goliath beetle and a rainbow stag tonight. So there are still a few good things to catch out there.

Circles, Beauty, Goal

Last Sunday, I made sure to check out the fireworks festival before August ended.

Tortimer: Today is the last Fireworks Show of the year!

I got a Roman candle from Tortimer, and then I proceeded to wax his shell. It’s tradition, you see. 😆

However, he seemed intent on walking in circles…for nearly a full minute, until I spoke with him again! This is the same thing that happened to Bones in 2019, after a fishing tournament. In the same spot, too! This must be a glitch that happens during events.

But anyway, I stopped at several spots around town to watch the fireworks. 🙂

Fireworks go off in the sky in ACCF.

On Monday night, I did a little bug-hunting. I also caught two sharks, which is pretty rare for me to even see two sharks in the same night. I also netted three elephant beetles, caught one tarantula, and outran a scorpion to Nook’s shop for safety. 😆 I made about 105k on the night.

On Thursday night, Patty confused me when she started talking about beauty…and her snot. 🤔

Patty: I'm so, like, moved by the beauty, I can't quit crying! Aaaaaugh! My snot! It won't stop, how-now!

But about a minute later, I started hearing shooting stars. It was a meteor shower!

It actually became a pretty heavy meteor shower, too. At least for City Folk. At one point, I heard four of them within a two-second span!

I spent some time catching more bugs and fish, and I didn’t stop until I earned 290,000 bells on the night. That’s what I needed to reach my summer goal: 64 million in savings! Mission accomplished! 😎

Your current balance is 64,000,000 bells.

Tonight, Big Top told me that he wished he was Tom Nook (ew). But he was really just wanting his own store…so I guess I can forgive him for that statement. 😆

Big Top: Sometimes I wish I was Tom Nook, in a tent! 'Cause then I'd have my own store!

At the Roost, I asked K.K. for a random song; he performed “Pondering” for me.

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

Here are a few other quick notes about tonight:

  • Patty was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine.
  • I shot down a balloon present that contained a sandbag.
  • I found a watermelon table in the recycle bin at town hall.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend (holiday weekend if you’re in the U.S.), and I’ll see you all next week!
