Bunny Day, Fish Tourney

Last Sunday was Bunny Day (aka Easter Sunday), and I decided to participate in the festivities again this year. The event brings Zipper T. Bunny to town, and Rosie thought Zipper was cute…even though he was “kinda dorky.” 😆

Rosie: It was kinda dorky and moved all funny and had big ears, and it was SOOOOOO cute!

I went around town, digging up all the bunny eggs I could find. Eventually, I found all 12 of the prize tickets (called bunny foils).

The twelve prize tickets.

I tediously traded them all in for the full egg furniture set, and then sold them all for 107,776 bells.

One funny thing is that if you keep talking to Zipper without any bunny foils to give him, he gets annoyed. 😉

Zipper: Look, if you're not going to play right, don't bother me! I don't want to see you 'til you've got some Bunny foils!

I played again today, and I received Deena’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Dearest Jeff, I'm leaving Forest today... I know it's the right step, but I'm still sad, because I'll be leaving you. I hope I see you again someday. Signed, Deena

The fishing tournament was held today, and Antonio said he was going to resort to some trick plays…like a fly-fishing flea-flicker!

Antonio: Time for me to pull out some trick plays. Here comes the fly-fishing flea-flicker, up my nose!

It took me a while to find my first sea bass of the day, but it was a big one: 46 inches! It overtook the top spot (sorry, Scoot) and Chip rewarded me with…a cradle.

Chip: And of course, the prize... A cradle! Yes! All for you!

I decided to call it quits right there, but I returned in the evening. Chip sent me a letter to confirm my win, and he included a gold trophy.

I went over to the Roost for the Saturday night show, and K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Love Song” for me.

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

Static asked me to deliver a gift (a four-ball shirt) to Scoot, and I agreed to help out. Scoot seemed to enjoy the shirt, and he put it on right away. Static was happy to hear the news, and he rewarded me with some diner tile.

Static: To be honest, my gifts are usually either the best ever or total flops. I like winning, up my nose!

Deena Departing

Today, I found that Deena had all her belongings packed up in boxes. She’s moving out, without notice.

Deena: The boxes probably gave it away, but...I've decided to move, I'm down.

Not to sound insensitive, but I’m okay with her moving. Best of luck in your new town, Deena!

It’s early April, which means there are lots of pink trees around town. It’s certainly a pretty time of year. 🌸

Pink trees abound in Forest.

Tiffany asked me to make a delivery to Willow for her, and I agreed to help out. But Willow seemed disappointed that the gift was just a kappa suit.

Willow: Oh! Could it be?! Hmm...no. It's actually just a kappa suit.

Still, she did put it on…as a scarf, of course. When I returned to Tiffany, she rewarded me with a lovely wall.

Rosie was telling me about a movie that she borrowed from Antonio, called The Coprolite. That’s…dino poop. That doesn’t sound like the best movie to me, but it did inspire Rosie to become a fossil hunter. And she even vowed to never give up the hunt!

Rosie: So, starting today, I'm gonna be a fossil hunter, too! And I will NEVER give up the hunt!

Over by the fountain, Sydney told me that she bought a tiger butterfly for me!

Sydney: Hey, J-boo! I just bot a tiger butterfly, in a coma!
It was in a coma? I guess that makes it easy to catch.

She said it cost her 781 bells, and she asked if I’d pay her back for it. I guess I was feeling nice, so I handed over the money. (I’ll sometimes agree to these things if the price is under 1,000 bells.)

I rode the bus out to the city and got my hair changed back to its normal style and color. I ended my game for the afternoon, but I returned again later tonight for K.K. Slider’s show at the Roost. I asked him for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Ballad” for me. It’s a good song!

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

Just as a reminder, Bunny Day is tomorrow! I’ll try to participate in the festivities, but I may not post another blog entry until later in the week. If you need a refresher on how it works in City Folk, check out my Bunny Day Guide.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate!

Big Top Picky About Tops

Tiffany was at home today, so I got to see the inside of her house for the first time (since she moved back in). One odd thing I noticed is that she put her dartboard directly in front of her window!

The inside of Tiffany's house in Animal Crossing: City Folk for Wii.

I attended K.K. Slider’s concert at the Roost tonight, and he performed “Steep Hill” for me. It’s one of my favorites.

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

Big Top told me that he got a letter from his mom, in a coma! But he said not to worry, because it’s nothing serious! (When has a coma not been serious?)

Big Top: I just got a letter from my mom, in a coma. Oh, don't worry, it's nothing serious!

In a very indirect way, he was asking me for some new clothes. I wanted to help him out, but Big Top was being picky about tops. Here’s a list of the clothes I got for him…that he turned down because they weren’t cool enough:

  • A gaudy sweater, from Able Sisters.
  • A samurai suit, from Able Sisters.
  • A Latin uniform, from Able Sisters.
  • A seven-ball shirt, from the lost and found.
  • A club shirt, from off my back!
Big Top: Oh, um... Well, this outfit doesn't say cool as much as I was hoping it would.

He turned down five shirts! I went above and beyond any reasonable expectations, trying to help him out. But nothing was acceptable to him, so I guess he’s just not going to look “cool.” You’re on your own, buddy.

See you all next week!
