I received Maelle’s goodbye letter in the mail today. I can’t say that I’ll miss her, but she did send a nice letter.

As I spoke with my villagers, a couple of them mentioned that Pascal was in town (standing on a bridge, of course).

I didn’t have any scallops on me, so I had to go looking on the beach for one. Once I tracked one down, I took it back to Pascal. He was talking about birthday parties and free cake. Not exactly the most serious topic for a philosopher, but who doesn’t like free cake? 🎂

He gave me some sea view wallpaper in exchange for the scallop, and then he took a dive into the river.

After making my rounds, I went on a fruit-gathering run. It took me about eight trips with full pockets, but I managed to meet the milestone that I was talking about last week: I have now saved up 50 million bells!

Aside from being a nice, big, round number, it has some slight significance. After 13.5 years of playing this game, I am now halfway to earning the first feather (the green feather). They made these things wayyyyyy too hard to earn, but at least it provides some (very) long-term goals to keep working towards.

If you’re used to New Horizons or New Leaf, let me assure that bells are much harder to come by in the older games. There’s no island filled with tropical bugs year-round, there are no characters that pay bonus for fish or bugs, there’s no “Bell Boom” ordinance, and there aren’t even hot items that earn more money at the shop. Earning money is a slow grind in the older games.

It’s nice to reach this milestone, and someday, that green feather will be mine! 😂 I don’t know if I’ll ever earn the other feathers, but I’ll take life one feather at a time. 😁 See you all next time!

When I took a trip to the city on Thursday night, I saw the silhouette of Serena’s statue against the backdrop of the moon. I thought it looked pretty cool, so I snapped a picture.

I visited Marcel yesterday, and two of his lucky cats had been moved and turned. They now sat in the middle of the room, facing a gyroid and a fire extinguisher. I could understand a cat being intrigued by a moving gyroid, but why stare at a fire extinguisher? I’d think it would dampen my enthusiasm. 💧

While walking near the ramp tonight, I heard someone fall into a pitfall! (It’s not one that I planted.) I soon saw Goldie walking around normally, so it wasn’t her. But when I went up the ramp, I saw an angry Gaston stomping around. 😂 He was clearly the pitfall victim, even though I wasn’t fortunate enough to witness the incident myself. 😛

K.K. Slider was in town, and I asked him to play a feel-good song for me. He played Neapolitan, and I enjoyed the show.

And after seeing Maelle still walking around freely Thursday and Friday, she was finally packed up to move out tonight. Goodbye, duck!

I’m approaching a pretty big milestone that I may hit in the next week or three. It’s not really something that’s acknowledged in the game, though. I’ll elaborate when the time comes.

See you next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

My two cranky villagers, Tom and Gaston, both asked me for some new clothes tonight. So I went up to Able Sisters and bought a ribbon shirt (mainly to mess with them) and also a grass shirt. When I ran into Tom, I offered him the ribbon shirt, but he handed it right back to me. He said that “clown suit” was unacceptable. 😂

So I offered him the grass shirt instead, and he liked it much better. He rewarded me with a sky wall. I later offered the ribbon shirt to Gaston too, and he had the exact same reaction to it (calling it a clown suit). 😛

I ran into Maelle, and she was thinking about moving out of town. I told her to go ahead and leave. She’s one of four villagers in town that I don’t care for, so it was an easy decision.

Now I just need to get rid of Marcel, Curt, and Gwen.

I went over to the Roost to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. He performed K.K. Reggae for me.

At one point, Brewster seemed to be wiping down a glass in time to the music. 😛

When I visited Queenie, I saw that she was sick with a cold. I gave her some medicine… Get well soon, Queenie!
