Saving Del

I got a letter from Egbert today, thanking me for making his delivery yesterday. He also sent me 500 bells.

To Jeff, Thanks for delivering that thingamabob for me the other day! This gift is my way of saying thanks! -Your old pal, EgbertRowan was outside my house, and he said he looked through my windows and saw stairs leading down. So he figured out that I have a basement (what a genius he is). He then asked what I do down there. Simple. It’s where I torture nosy tigers.

Rowan: ...Whoa. It must be a basement! HOLD UP! What kind of crazy stuff are you up to down there?I went next door to Del’s house and after talking to him over and over, I eventually got him to agree not to move out of town.

Del: You've convinced me, Mr. J. I'll stay on as Forest's crankiest resident a while longer.I went to the Able Sisters’ shop and shockingly, they had three shirts that I needed for my catalog! The amethyst shirt, the aqua polka shirt, and the straw shirt. Here I am wearing the amethyst shirt.

It usually only takes that long if it’s on Wi-Fi. But when it did eventually finish, I switched to my Scott character. I had him put the chessboard rug in his Gulliver room to jazz it up a little.

Wendell’s Memo

I started off the day by going to town hall and depositing some money into my bank account. That money pushed my balance over 16 million bells.

Your current balance is 16,020,000 bells.While I was in there, I decided to change my town tune. I’ve been watching a lot of The Twilight Zone on Netflix lately, so I thought I would use its theme as my town tune again.

Wendell: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! Th-thank you! Good food!He gave me a memo pattern. It’s basically all white, but with a corner folded up. This has got to be the lamest pattern in the game.

Robin: Thanks for getting this to me. Please give Egbert my warmest regards, with worms.I returned to Egbert, and he thanked me. My pockets were full, so he said he would mail my reward to me.

Egbert: That kind of stinks! And here I thought it would be a great present!Later on, Del told me that he wanted to move out of Forest. I asked him to stay, but he didn’t change his mind. I’m going to have to keep working on him.

Del: Anyhow, I'm not vanishing this instant, just letting you know I'll be gone soon, landlubber.Bob had locked himself out of his house. So I went fishing for a while and eventually caught his key.

I caught a key! ...Whose key is this?I returned it to Bob. He thanked me and gave me 600 bells.

Bob: Yesssss! You found my key, on toast!

City and Saharah

I got a letter in the mail letting me know that Yann purchased my anchor that I had put up for auction. I was surprised someone actually bought it. 😀

My dear Jeff, Your anchor has been purchased by Yann of Tropical. We've deposited 1,000 bells to your account. -The Auction HouseSoon, I took a bus over to the city. Phineas was there, but I didn’t want anything from him today.

Phineas: Nothing to say? Well, that's all right. Come see me again if you remember what you wanted to talk about.I then checked out Crazy Redd’s shop for this week’s new items. He had a lovely end table, a solemn painting, and a stroller. I didn’t want any of those.

Bob: Letters from listeners keep us on the air, J-rock.I went into the Able Sisters’ shop and saw that they had a BB shirt. I decided to buy it. After all, it had been about a month since I changed my shirt.

Saharah: Your old carpets, you will bring them to me, yes? And for them, I will give you exotic carpets I have made!So I went around asking all my villagers for old carpet. Amelia, Del, and Bob had some for me.

Bob: Isn't it funny how old carpets make you, me, and Saharah all happy? It's like they're magic carpets!I then went back to Saharah and gave her the three old carpets. She gave me a chessboard rug in exchange.

There are still 11 of Saharah’s carpets that I never received, yet she keeps giving me things I’ve already had before. As for this rug, I gave it to Scott. Maybe it will look good in one of his rooms.
