Pascal’s Olympic Tryout

It rained earlier in the day today, so I again didn’t have to water my flowers. I really enjoy the break from watering, but unfortunately, the extra rain isn’t translating into more hybrids. In fact, I’ve hardly been getting any new black roses lately. I’d guess I’m averaging about 0.5 per day over the past couple weeks. Very disappointing.

Anyway, I still went around town and talked to some of my animals. Kid Cat said he wanted to move out, but I talked him out of it.

Kid Cat: Since you're gonna go and cry about it, I won't move away, come on!!I just don’t understand why it’s almost always the animals I like that want to move out. Why can’t Yuka ever ask me? I would love to tell her to get out. In fact, I’d pay for her bus ticket out of town! 😛

Pascal was in town today. I gave him a scallop and he gave me a barrel before taking an Olympic dive into the river. I’d rate his dive a 8.0. Not bad, but it made too much of a splash. He’s not quite ready for the Olympics. 😛

Tree-lined Wall

Today is Wednesday, so I checked Crazy Redd’s store to see his new inventory for the week. He had a baby bed, a moving painting, and a rocket. His goods did not interest me this week.

A baby bed, a moving painting, and a rocket for sale at Crazy Redd's shop.Once back in Forest, I went to Nook’s and sold some things. The total came out to 1,776 bells, which is appropriate considering Independence Day is next week. (The United States declared independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776). In case you’re wondering, 1,776 bells is the amount Nook offers when you sell two gyroids and three regular (non-hybrid) flowers.

Tom Nook: Ah, for all of that, I'll give you 1,776 bells!Saharah was in town today, looking for old wallpaper.

Saharah: Your old wallpaper, you will bring some to me, yes? And for them, I will give you exotic wallpaper I have made!So I went around, asking all of my neighbors for some.

Egbert: You need old wallpaper? Hmmm... I don't think I have any, McNugget.Along the way, I taught Del a new catchphrase. Del has a cranky personality, so I thought this catchphrase fits right in with that.

Del: Well, I guess I'll be using this new catchphrase from now on, you punk!Del, Rowan, and Avery each gave me an old wallpaper. I took them to Saharah.

Saharah: Yes, now I give you.She then gave me a tree-lined wall. It was one I needed for my checklist, even though I don’t plan on keeping it.

Return of Avery

I was walking around town, and I saw a house where it wasn’t supposed to be! Someone dropped a house on my path!

A new house sitting on my path.It was Avery, the eagle. Avery was actually one of my original villagers from when I first started my town in 2008! I think he moved out in 2009 sometime, but I’m not sure exactly when. This wasn’t the same Avery of course, so he didn’t remember me. But it is nice to have one of my original villagers back in town.

Avery: I'm Avery! I just moved to this town!Today was the flea market. I wasn’t really planning on doing any buying or selling, but I stopped in Egbert’s house just for the heck of it.

Egbert: What do you think? Is there any piece of furniture that just grabs you by the lapels and shakes you silly?He refused to sell one of his precious possessions: A yellow butterfly! Ha!

Egbert: Oh, um, sorry, J-dog. The yellow butterfly is kinda important to me, so I really can't part with it...I played too late in the day to check the theater for emotions. Hopefully I’ll remember to check tomorrow. I just watered my flowers and then I wrapped up my night.
