Tabby Tourist

Last Monday, June asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “in snow.” I’m a bit tired of winter and snow myself, so I decided to look forward a bit. Her new phrase is “in spring.” Hopefully we’ll get there soon. 😛

June: Thank you so much! I feel like I've discovered a whole new side of myself, in spring.

Because of all the crafting I’ve been doing lately (for the donation box submissions), I’ve also started going to Kapp’n’s islands again to stock up on materials. Believe it or not, weeds are one of the materials I’ve been frequently running out of.

On Tuesday, I ran into another unwanted tourist in Forest: Tabby! She even called herself a gorgeous tourist! Wow.

Tourist: Despite appearances, I'm not an A-list celeb, but a gorgeous tourist by the name of Tabby!

Of course, I just had to pitfall her. She almost dropped her sandwich. 😛

On Thursday, Klaus was camping at the campsite for the 4th time. I keep getting ugly campers and they keep coming back again and again. 😛

Klaus, at the campsite: Ahoy. Klaus is my name, and traveling, making playlists, and dance are my passions three.

On Friday, Pascal popped up after I caught a scallop. He told me he had a nightmare that a scallop was eating him!

Pascal: I had a nightmare once that a scallop was eating me. But when I woke up, I thought about it, and...fair play.

Over the past week, I’ve led three new tourists to the hotel: Bluebear, Anchovy, and the super cute duck, Molly. 😍

I’ve put them all in standard rooms. I know I’ll need to design more rooms at some point, but I’m not in a rush right now.

Yesterday, one of the bonus items at the shop was a pile of cash! I decided to make one to see how much it would sell for. It requires three 99k bags of bells to make it (297,000 bells). I crafted it and took it over to Timmy and Tommy. But even with the double bonus price, it sold for…297,000 bells. So all I did was break even. 😛

Timmy: A pile of cash! I'll give twice the usual amount, so... 297,000 bells. Is that OK?

I suppose it would be a different story if you had the bell boom ordinance. And that would work particularly well now that we can multi-craft items. But in my case, there was no benefit.

Today, Static was sick with a cold. I used his own workbench to craft him some medicine (using materials from my storage). He took the medicine and started to feel better right away. He thanked me and gave me a patchwork tulip hat.

Here are some other quick notes about the past week:

  • I returned a lost item to Kid Cat last Tuesday, and he thanked me with a peacoat.
  • C.J. was in town, and I sold him 32 fish for 251,250 bells.
  • I recovered Wisp’s spirits for him, and he rewarded me with a bathroom sink.
  • I helped out Gulliver on Wednesday, and he sent me an elder mask.
  • Friday, I played a treasure hunt game with Bob. I found the item in time, and I won a pleather trench coat.
  • I returned a lost book to Ankha, and she said I should have some head bandages! 😛
  • Last night, K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Flamenco” for me and Bones.

See you next time!
