Less Harry

Last Saturday, I remembered to play before Gabi’s request expired, and I gave her the bunny shirt I ordered for her.

Gabi: Oh, look! There it is! The bunny shirt I've been waiting for!

She thanked me by giving me an ornate rug in return. That’s an okay reward, I guess. But it wasn’t necessarily worth the effort of specifically ordering her shirt and playing another day to give it to her. 😛

My newest neighbor Tutu was unpacked, so I got to see the inside of her house. She basically just has the bear essentials.

Nana asked for a new greeting on Sunday, so I told her to say “Oo oo ah ah!” 🐒

Nana: Oo oo ah ah!

Yesterday, Harry told me that he was thinking about leaving town. He’s my least favorite villager, so I didn’t try to stop him.

Harry: I'm a wanderer, and I can only stay in one place for so long.

By tonight, he was already packed up and ready to go! Goodbye, Harry! Forest will be a little less Harry from now on.

Harry: Well, well, well. I'm glad you finally made it here, Sugar J! 'Cause I'm leaving, bear with.

At the Roost tonight, K.K. Slider was performing K.K. Ragtime.

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

Back outside, I caught a flea that was on Queenie. She thinks someone must’ve planted it on her, in an effort to sabotage her beauty. 🙄

Queenie: It must be sabotage! Someone can't stand how beautiful I am!
Alrighty then.

And speaking of beauty, I recently posted a new hair guide for City Folk! Check it out anytime you want to get rid of that bedhead, or just want a new look for your character!

15th Anniversary!

Last Friday, I received Poncho’s goodbye letter in the mail. He used the SMB3 stationery, which is one of my favorites. 🙂

Yo, Jeff, It's time for me to bail on Forest and take these biceps on tour! They're just too big for one town. Don't worry, you'll see 'em again! Peace! -Poncho

Yesterday, his replacement moved in: Tutu the bear. I feel pretty neutral about her, just like I did about Poncho. So exchanging him for her is a bearable trade. 😛

Tutu: I'm Tutu, and I'm totally moving into your town!

As some of you may remember, Tutu lived in Forest before, back in 2016.

When I visited Harry, I saw that he put his fossils together oddly. He’s trying to create some new creature, I guess. 😛

That neck angle looks painful.

Today is November 16th, which is the 15th anniversary of Animal Crossing: City Folk! Happy 15th, ACCF! 🙂

Today is also the 15th anniversary of my town, Forest. Even though I didn’t have this blog back then, I did have Youtube. If you’d like to see my very first moments in ACCF Forest, just click play:

Anyway, Wendell was in town today, but I didn’t stop by to talk to him (or feed him). A few of my villagers were talking about him though, and Tutu said she would feed him some Pad Thai Surprise. (I’m pretty sure she didn’t actually do it, though.) 😆

Tutu: Hmmm... I guess I have a bunch of leftover Pad Thai Surprise he could eat, twinkles.

I visited Gabi, and she asked me for a bunny shirt! Isn’t anything she wears technically a bunny shirt? 🤔 But I actually went to Nook’s and ordered one for her. So hopefully Gabi will still want it by the time I play again. 😛

Gabi: So, like, if you find a bunny shirt, can you please bring it to me, bear with?

Happy anniversary to all the ACCF players who have been around since the beginning! I’ll be posting my annual “Year in Pictures” slideshow soon, so keep an eye out for that! See you next time!

Poncho Parts, Grizz Lies

Now that November is here, mushrooms can be found around town. Some, like the elegant and rare mushrooms, are quite valuable. And each day, one of the mushrooms will actually be a piece of the mush set in disguise.

I thought it was just a mushroom, but it was really a mush stool!

Thanks to my Halloween haul and November bank account interest (among other things), my savings balance reached 59 million bells recently.

Your current balance is 59,000,000 bells.

Nana was sick with a cold today, so I gave her some medicine. Here’s a rare screenshot of an upside-down pink monkey. 😛

Poncho was all packed up and ready to move out of town today. He’s a nice guy, but I’m not upset that he’s leaving. Good luck wherever you end up, Poncho!

Poncho: I decided to take my awesomeness on tour, and I was bummed I wouldn't be able to say bye to people.

Tom asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek, and I agreed to give it a try. He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Egbert, and Grizzly. He said if I didn’t win, I’d be hopeless. 😆 Even though that sounds a bit rude, it’s basically true. Fifteen minutes should be plenty of time to find three villagers (even if you’re not rushing to find them).

Tom: If you can't find all 3 of us in that time, then, well, I guess you're basically hopeless.

After a minute or two, I saw someone behind a tree and I thought I found someone. But it was just Queenie, who wasn’t even playing. 😆 But shortly after that, I did find Grizzly trying to hide behind a sign post.

A couple minutes later, I found Egbert behind Tom’s house, and then Tom hiding behind the museum. Tom congratulated me on my win, and he gave me a mini harmonoid.

Immediately after the game ended, Grizzly pinged me. He asked if I was interested in selling my flame shirt, but I said no. He then hinted he would have paid me 370,000 bells for it, which is a complete, outright lie! They’ll never pay anywhere near that much money. For anything…but especially not a shirt.

Grizzly: I guess I'll have to find some other use for my 370,000 bells, bear with.
That’s a Grizz-lie.

After making my rounds, I ran into Grizzly again. He wanted me to deliver a message to River. He told me to tell her to ask him about “outfits.” So I switched to River’s account, and she now has bedhead. 😛 When River reminded Grizzly about outfits, Grizzly gave her a big bro’s shirt.

Grizzly: Have a big bro's shirt! Enjoy!

That’s all for tonight, but I have been working on another guide that should be done soon-ish. See you all again soon! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
