Tom’s Little Nieces

Bones surprised me a bit when he said that a spider sounds pretty good. Was he looking for a pet, or a snack? 😛

Bones: A spider sounds PRET-ty good!

Even though I thought he was about to ask me to catch a spider for him, that’s not what this was about. He was just doing an impression of Nat, the Bug-Off host.

It’s Saturday night, so I headed over to the Roost for the weekly musical performance from K.K. Slider. I asked him for a random song, and he played K.K. Lullaby for me.

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

Puck locked himself out of his house, so I fished his key out of the river for him. After I returned the key, Puck rewarded me with 600 bells.

Outside of Able Sisters, Tom was talking about how well Sable and Mabel get along. He said they remind him of his two little nieces!

Tom: The little sister follows the bigger one around like they were attached at the hip. It's really cute.

They sound so cute! I wish we could see them in a cut-scene or something.

After I made a trip to the city and back, I ran into Bones again. He was telling me about his ideas for an original comic book. It’s about a little dude named Chill J who takes cares of the goats in a village in the Kingdom of Forest.

Bones: Sweet! Well, it's kind of an epic fantasy, and it takes place in a sleepy village in the Kingdom of Forest.
Hey, if it’s about me, how about giving me a cut of the profits! 😉

When I visited Portia, I saw that she was sick with a cold. She must be having some Dalmatian inflammation. 😛 I bought some medicine at the shop for her. Get well soon, Portia!

Portia: To be honest, I feel like pear mousse served with a side of sneezes.

Rasher’s Type

Yesterday, Maelle told me that she’s not attracting enough attention lately.

Maelle: Hey, Jeff. I'm not attracting enough attention lately, duckling.

Even though it sounded like she was talking about her “ugly duckling” appearance, she was actually asking me for a new catchphrase. But I didn’t have one to give her, so I told her to stick with the same she’s been using.

I had an even more awkward conversation with Rasher today. He told me that he develops crushes easily, and he has a favorite “type.” Tell me he doesn’t look at least a little bit creepy when he says this:

Rasher: I used to gaze longingly at them as a boy... Now that I'm grown, I think it's time to make one my own.

But it turned out that he was just asking me for modern furniture…in the oddest way possible. I agreed to help out, but the shops didn’t have any modern furniture, and I didn’t have any in storage either. So his furniture “crush” will have to go unfulfilled.

When I ran into Portia, she was talking about moving out of town. However, I told her to stick around longer, and she agreed to stay.

Portia: Oh, I know! I'll just put all thoughts of moving out of my mind, wolfman.

I got my first look at the inside of Maelle’s house today (well, the first look after she unpacked her boxes, I mean). She has lovely furniture and a birdcage in here. But when I turned down her request to find her a yellow bar shirt, she didn’t exactly seem very polite.

Maelle: What, really? OK, see if I care, duckling.

Sorry, but finding one specific shirt is hard to do! Able Sisters was already closed for the night anyway.

And over by town hall, Astrid told me that she felt sorry for people who never get to see her at nighttime…because she’s “prettier than a field of butterflies.”

Astrid: I feel so sad...for those who never see me at night! I'm prettier than a field of fireflies!
You would not believe your eyes…
at how hard I rolled my eyes. 🙄

I know Astrid helped me out by killing Kitty, but I don’t think I can look past her snootiness forever. 😛 I feel like the gratitude I feel towards her is slowly wearing down. But in the meantime, I’ll try to keep giving her the benefit of the doubt. 😛

If you haven’t seen the video I posted a few days, it compares my town of Forest in each of the five main Animal Crossing games. From details like the town fruit and grass shape, to my favorite and worst villagers I’ve had in each game (current and all-time), to things like my proudest accomplishment and remaining goals. Please check it out!

Duck No

The snow of winter has melted, and green grass has returned at last. It was raining in town tonight, and Goldie was happy because she got to use her favorite umbrella. 😛

Goldie: I'm so happy! Today, I get to walk around sporting my favorite umbrella ever, woof woof!

It must have been green furniture day at Nook ‘n’ Go today. The three furniture items available were a green bed, a tall cactus, and a green table.

Three green furniture items for sale at Nook 'n' Go.

At the Roost, Rasher was having some coffee. But he didn’t seem very thrilled to see me…probably because he was on a date with Phyllis! The secret’s out now! 😂

Rasher: Hey, Chill J, I didn't think I'd see you in the cafe at this time of night...

I found a new house in town, and Maelle was inside. I’m not a fan of the ugly duckling.

Maelle: Oh! Well, good evening! I'm surprised that I have visitors to my new house already, duckling.

She’s not an improvement over Monique. Not at all. Where’s an NES Zapper when I need one? 😛
