I took the bus to the city to check the new emotions. I decided to get delight again as my “happy” emotion. Delight is the clapping one.
I returned to Forest to water my flowers. But there were no wilted flowers today, and I’m pretty sure it didn’t rain yesterday. But Megan told me there was a charm reward if I planted a tree in her town, and I did that last night. I’m hoping the reward was the non-wilting flowers one. That would be hugely awesome for someone with as many flowers as me to be able to go the rest of the month without watering! I’ll keep you posted to see if that is indeed the case.
Update: The monthly charm rewards only last one day, unfortunately.
But moving right along, I spotted a scorpion near the river. I backed up, got my net out, and crept towards it. It was hiding behind a tree and I wasn’t quite sure if it was still there or not. But I got close to where I thought I saw something, swung my net, and caught it.
I went into The Roost and had a cup of coffee next to Phyllis. For some reason, it wouldn’t let me save the pictures I took of her talking to me. I tried about five times, and none of them would save.
Avery approached me and said he wanted to move out of Forest (already?!). I told him not to go, and he decided to stay.
Rowan asked me what I thought of him. I told him he rules. He liked that.
I figured I’d do a little bug-hunting before I ended my game for the night. I decided I’d go from Nook’s, down to the right end of the beach, then left across the entire beach and back to Nook’s again. If I earned less than 20,000 bells in that span, I would stop there.
So I made the trip and ended up with over 21,000 bells. I gave the trip another try, and again I made over 21,000 bells. My third trip wasn’t as lucky; I only caught three dynastid beetles which netted me a total of only 4,050 bells. So I called it a night. But on my last beach walk, I did talk to Del. He asked me for a new greeting, so I gave him one.

Around 10:05, I opened my gate. Megan, Yann, and
I continued asking my villagers for old carpets, without any luck. I looked at my map to see which villagers I hadn’t asked yet and I saw something shocking. Even though today was Friday the 13th, I’m not superstitious. I’m not even a little stitious. (Yes, I stole that joke from The Office).
Jambette is, without a doubt, the worst villager in Animal Crossing history. She makes Rhonda look innocent. She makes Yuka look friendly. And she even makes Elise look tolerable. She would make Jorge’s ugly collection of villagers look like a decent group of animals.
Once that ordeal was over with, I went back outside. Trying to forget that traumatic experience, I continued asking my animals for old carpet. Nobody had any. Not even one.
I noticed Anabelle’s tail almost looked like a beak coming out of the Pac-Man ghost’s face on the shirt she was wearing. It reminded me of Buck’s tail as seen in
At the stroke of midnight,
Then we stood on a bridge, telling jokes and puns.
Shortly after 2:00, Brian came over to visit. So my town was full once again. He actually looked a lot like Jorge; he had the same hair style and color (green) that Jorge has worn before. We hung out, talked, and caught more fish and bugs.
I also got a letter from Becky in Megan’s town May West. I’ve had Becky before, but I’m not interested in hearing from her. Becky, how did you even get my address?
Megan is trying to get gold roses, so I told her to let me know when she got a wilted black rose and I would visit her and water it with my golden watering can. So she let me know today and I went to May West to water it.
So her wilted black rose will turn into a gold rose tomorrow. That’s all for now, check back late tomorrow night for a longer blog entry.
