On Monday, I received Hopper’s goodbye letter in the mail.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Jeff,<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Yesterday, his replacement moved in. It’s Gabi the rabbit, who was actually one of my starters back in 2008! I’m not a huge fan of Gabi, but she’s certainly not as bad as some <\/em>villagers I have in Forest right now.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Gabi:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Speaking of those worse villagers, I pitfall’d one of them. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Jambette,<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Queenie asked me to visit her house, which is actually a pretty rare thing in this game. I agreed, but she made me schedule a time (5:00). In the meantime, she went home, locked her door, and put up this sign. This is something I don’t see very often!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Sign<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I ran into Pascal on the southern bridge, and I found a scallop on the beach to give him. But first, he wanted to talk about reading the dictionary. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Pascal:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

He then asked for the scallop and gave me a helm in its place…before he jumped into the river and swam away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jambette asked me to make a delivery to Queenie, but there was a potential problem: She wanted the delivery done by 5 p.m.! And Queenie wasn’t going to open her door until then…or so I thought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I went by Queenie’s house, and fortunately, her door was open early. In fact, it was just barely after 4:30! However, she wouldn’t let me give her the delivery; she was only interested in me visiting. And she kept asking me to touch her furniture. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Queenie:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Once I was done touching everything (ahem), I decided to leave. She asked what I thought of her house, and I told her it was awesome. But she thought I was being sarcastic, and she got mad!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Queenie:<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Once I was outside, I re-entered her house to make the delivery. When I told her it was from Jambette, she said she didn’t expect anything too tasteful from her. \ud83d\ude06\ud83d\ude06\ud83d\ude06 (After that, I just had <\/em>to forgive her for getting mad at me.) \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Queenie:
The gift was a fire hydrant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Once I finally tracked Jambette down again, she rewarded me with a floral wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Queenie sent me a letter, thanking me for visiting yesterday. She attached 500 bells as a gift. Ooh, big spender. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gabi was outside today, so I didn’t get to see the inside of her house yet. But she was discussing decorating, saying she was conflicted by the battles of angel Gabi and devil Gabi. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Gabi:
You might want to see Dr. Shrunk about this problem.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I posted a full gameplay video of yesterday’s session, so check it out if you’d like to see a fairly typical session of mine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
