I checked the bulletin board and saw this message posted:
It says ponds won’t freeze over this year, but of course it says that every year. Ponds don’t freeze over in this game, and that’s a shame. In some Harvest Moon games, the ponds actually do freeze over in winter. The ability to walk over frozen ponds can lead to secret items or secret areas. And it’s always rewarding to explore a new area and find something new. It would be nice if Nintendo could do something like that in future Animal Crossing games.
But moving right along, I took the bus to the city today. Phineas (the balloon guy) was there, but so was an old friend of mine, Antonio. He was one of my favorite villagers in ACCF, and he lived right across the road (path) from Bob before he moved out last year.
I also went into the marquee (theater). There actually was a Frillard emotion (sleepiness) this week, but it’s not one I was hoping for.
So I went back to town and watered my flowers. I found two new black roses today. I noticed a lot of animals were out, with several of them whistling/singing and enjoying the day.
Bob, who came into view about one second after I took the above picture, asked me to deliver a gift to Mint. As you can see in that previous picture, Mint was very close by, so it made for an easy delivery. It was a polar fleece, in case you were wondering.
But returning to tell Bob wasn’t quite as easy. Somehow he made it all the way back to his house in a very short amount of time. He probably hasn’t ran that fast since he heard the Meow Mix commercial on TV. But he thanked me for making the delivery and gave me an old board floor as a reward.
Back in town, it wasn’t raining (and I knew it wouldn’t rain later, since I caught the weather forecast last night), so I had to water my flowers. I got a bit of a scare when I talked to Kid Cat; he wants to move out!
I kept talking to him over and over, and he eventually changed his mind. Or so he says. But there have been times when animals have said that, and still left. So I won’t feel safe until a different animal is packed or at least talking about moving.
We also visited Scott’s house.
After we went back outside, we noticed the northern lights (aurora borealis) were shining up in the sky.
We went into the Able Sisters’ shop and discovered that Bushido has white hair now. He tried on a chef hat and put lemons on his face. We soon ended up in Kid Cat’s house. Bradley’s hat was going through the bars of Kid Cat’s weight bench.
Also, I amused myself by using my beak to peck on his drum for a while. We then went to Rowan’s house. He has two of the talking totem poles in his house, so we made them speak and had some good laughs. TZ left shortly after 11:00 and everyone else left by 11:15.
Shortly before midnight, Skye also came in. We all hung out until 12:45, when I closed the gate for the night.
