Ditches and a Crack

On Wednesday, I listened in on an interesting conversation between Octavian and Peanut. Octavian was trying to find a part-time job for Peanut, and he suggested digging ditches. 😆

Octavian: You love digging ditches, don't you? Well, of course ya do!

Of course, Peanut didn’t want to dig ditches. Instead, she wanted to sell waterfront real estate. 😛

Peanut: Don't you even know that the new 'it' job is selling waterfront real estate?

Octavian got mad that she didn’t like his suggestion, and he called Peanut a brat, and then a (spoiled) princess. They both walked away sad after that encounter.

Octavian: Hmph! You really are a brat, aren't you, Peanut?

I finally got to see the inside of Tank’s house now that’s he has unpacked. (He’s been outdoors just about every time I’ve played.) And his house is a bit…sparse. All of his furniture is along the north and east walls, leaving a huge open area. Well, maybe a tank like him needs a lot of room to operate. 😛

The inside of Tank's house in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Speaking of empty space, I found Peanut’s house completely empty yesterday!

Peanut's completely empty house in ACWW.

The reason? She was trying to move out of town! If a villager doesn’t have any regular furniture, just fish and/or bugs (which they can’t pack up), their homes will be completely empty when moving. Of course, I talked Peanut out of moving, so her catches should magically return. 😛 Some of you may remember that this also happened with Big Top a few years back.

Tonight, I spoke with Dotty and she was really excited about something that she found…

Dotty: Hon! I finally found one, hulaaaa!

It was a crack in the ground. Yeah, she found some crack, alright.

Dotty: What, you ask?! It's a crack on the ground! Can you believe it? A CRACK!!!

She didn’t even say where she found it.

At the Roost, I asked K.K. for a random song, and he played K.K. Ska for me.

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

Tank Paper Scissors

On Wednesday, I made a couple of deliveries for Saharah. I took some carpet over to Tom Nook, and then some wallpaper over to Mabel. Saharah rewarded me with a boxing ring mat.

Saharah: Do you want an ancient wall or a boxing ring mat? >Carpet.

Drift was still sick on Wednesday, so I gave him some more medicine. By yesterday, he was feeling much better. He gave me some ceramic tile to thank me for the drugs.

Yesterday, Tank wanted to play a quick game of rock, paper, scissors. But we both chose “rock.”

Tank: I'm a total ROCK!
Yeah, you’re built like a tank.

He initially thought he had won the game, but then he realized it was a draw.

Tonight, I played in the evening when the sky was purple. But I noticed that from a certain distance, the waterfall also looked purple. Pretty cool. 😎

The cliffs and waterfall appear purple in the twilight.

I listened in on a conversation between Bones and Tank, and they were debating who would win if they raced each other. Bones thought Tank would be careless, and would therefore lose the race.

Bones: Tank is fast, but overconfident and careless.

Tank laughed at that suggestion, comparing it to a fairy tale. 😛

Tank: Dude, that is the worst story ever! A fairy tale is more believable than that!

Tank was glad that he’s a jock, because he said all “thinkers” are nut jobs. 😮

Tank: 'Cause all you thinkers are total nut jobs!

I’m not sure I would consider lazy villagers to be thinkers, but I wouldn’t consider them nut jobs either. Just don’t insult Bones, man. 😛

Later on, I attended K.K. Slider’s Saturday night concert. I asked for a random song, and he performed Mr. K.K. for me.

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

How does my Wild World savings balance stack up against my savings accounts in other Animal Crossing games? (Spoiler alert: Not well.) But check out this animated line chart to see how it’s going (and which game it is gaining ground on):

See you next week! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

You Can’t Leave After 1 Week!

When I checked my mail yesterday, I found my weekly evaluation from the HRA (Happy Room Academy). My latest score was 280,900 points: A new record! Putting Dotty’s pic in my space room last week really helped out, even though that wasn’t my intention at all. 😆

Jeff, your room gets 280,900 points! Stylish! Elegant! SASSY! No matter where you look, this is a PERFECT room!!! -Happy Room Academy

Drift was still sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine. Today, I was on my way to buy him some medicine again, but I arrived at Nookington’s right as Tom Nook was closing up. Oops.

Tom Nook: So, I need you to leave...

That threw me off my routine, and I forgot to check for the UFO at 11:02. And I was unprepared when I heard it flying overhead. However, because I was on the side of town where it entered, I had enough time to grab my slingshot, race across town east to west, and shoot it down! Success!

Gulliver and his crash-landed UFO.

It was my 34th UFO shot down in this game, so my Wild World total has now surpassed my City Folk total. I gathered up the UFO parts (even though the last one took me a while to find), and Gulliver rewarded me with another Moai statue. That’s the same reward I got last time. 🗿

I was surprised when I entered Tank’s house and saw that he was already trying to move out! He’s only been here seven days! That’s way too soon for him to leave, so I talked him out of moving. I haven’t even seen the inside of his house (unpacked) yet!

Tank: My brain's all bamboozled... Maybe I should rethink the whole thing, kerPOW!
