Robin Shuffled Out of Town

Yesterday, I was disappointed to find a goodbye letter from Robin in the mail! She left without warning! I’m sad to see her go, but you have to play the hand you’re dealt.

Good-bye, Jeff, I'm moving and I hope that you're a little more stylish the next time we meet. Sound like a plan? Happy now... Robin
I guess I didn’t play my cards right.

The worst part is that I never earned her photo, despite her living in town for over a year! And I’ve certainly helped her out with favors, giving her blue furniture all the time. And to think, Marina gave me her pic after just three months! Oof.

Pascal was in town, and he told me to be like a river and carve my own path. I really like that one. In fact, I think it’s one of my favorite quotes of his that I’ve seen!

Pascal: Be like a river, maaannn, and, like, carve your own path.
He gave me a keg before jumping into the sea.

Today is May 1st, and I received my monthly bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 98,200 bells in interest this month.

I found a note in a bottle on the beach, and it was talking about an upcoming film that cost $20 billion to make! It might be hard just to break even on that film. 😆

Just announced! A film with a production cost of $20,000,000,000 and an all-star cast coming soon! Don't miss it!

When I spoke with Chief, he was laughing over something he saw: He witnessed Derwin falling over! 😆 I’d be laughing too if I had seen it!

Chief: Heh heh heh heh heh... I'll never forget the sight of Derwin falling over!

I accidentally shook an orange tree as I tried to talk to Frobert, and he said he was giving me a free ornate rug.

Frobert: I'm gonna give you my ornate wall for free, fribbit!

But he immediately changed his mind, saying it’s not my color. This guy’s been getting on my nerves lately.

Frobert: ...Hey, on second thought... it's really not your color, so never mind, fribbit!

I ran into Chief again, and he told me he needs to be in a big city, with people he can lead.

Chief: I need to be in a big city, with people that I can lead, know what I mean?

Enjoy your weekend, and I’ll be back with more next week! Never Stop Crossing!

Crunchy Bodies

Yesterday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO for the third time this year so far.

The UFO falls from the sky after being shot by a slingshot.

I went around town to collect Gulliver’s missing UFO parts and then returned them.

Gulliver: Let me see... I now have a total of one, two, three, four...
I read this in The Count’s voice (since I recently added The Count to my Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream island).

Gulliver thanked me by giving me a pagoda. It’s the 4th one he has given me. One, two, three, four pagodas, ah ah ah.

When I spoke with Derwin, he was talking about doing exercises before taking a bath. And then he started talking about bugs and how their bodies are so crunchy. Derwin is an odd little fellow.

Derwin: But what about bugs? Their bodies are so, uh, crunchy, derrrr.

He was (indirectly) asking to have a competition to see who could catch a yellow butterfly first. But it was already nighttime, and those bugs weren’t out, so I declined his request.

I played again today, and Derwin again asked for a yellow butterfly. But this time, I had one ready for him. He actually got mad at me for “being so competitive!” This is what he wanted, though!

Derwin: It's just a game, you know! You don't have to be so competitive ALL THE TIME!
Derwin: Now I'm mad, so I'm just gonna have to take this yellow butterfly!

He did reward me with 510 bells, but I don’t appreciate his rudeness.

When I visited Frobert, I noticed that he had a pair of pears! 🍐🍐

Frobert: The way I cluttered the place gives it a subtle manliness, huh, fribbit!

However, he also had a pair of melons. 🍉🍉

Two pear furniture items and two watermelon items in Frobert's house.

Greedy Lifestyle?

It was raining in town last night, and Frobert was being poetic about it. He said the “savage drops of night rain” don’t scare him at all. 😆

Frobert: Hop to it!! The savage drops of night rain don't scare me!

He asked me to deliver a letter to Derwin, but Derwin didn’t show me the letter. Frobert then rewarded me with a ukulele.

Over on the bulletin board, I saw a notice posted about the Flower Fest. The results are in, and Marina was declared the winner!

***Final Results*** The biggest blossom of the Spring Flower Fest is Marina's garden! Way to go!!

I have no idea what criteria Tortimer used to determine that Marina’s flower garden was the best, but congrats to Marina regardless! 🐙

Saharah was in town, and she asked me to help out with some deliveries. I took a carpet package over to Mabel, another carpet to Tom Nook, and some wallpaper to Pelly (for Phyllis).

Pelly: Oh! Well, well! This is that item that my sister ordered from Saharah.

When I returned to Saharah, she rewarded me with a Saharah’s Desert (flooring).

Pippy told me she was obsessed with fortune telling, and she wanted to practice on me. She said my lucky sound of the day was ear-splitting polka. 🎶

Pippy: Hon's lucky sound of the day is...ear-splitting polka!

Today, Chief told me that it’s cool to collect a hoard of cool items…and I wasn’t sure where he was going with this…

Chief: I guess it's cool and all to collect a hoard of sweet stuff.

But he was apparently talking about my house having so many things in it? He said my “greedy lifestyle” isn’t for him. Wow. And I said nothing to provoke this, either. He’s just being a jerk for no reason.

Chief: But, no offense, that whole greedy lifestyle of yours isn't for me.

When I visited Frobert, he wasn’t much better. First, he said I was looking haggard…

Frobert: Whoa, WHOA, gorgeous! Aren't you looking a little haggard, fribbit?
Well am I looking gorgeous or haggard?

And then he told me not to breathe near him, because he didn’t want to catch my cold! I don’t have a cold! My villagers just irritate me sometimes in this game. 😛

Frobert: Don't you breathe near me! I don't want your cold, fribbit!

When Pippy asked me for some blue furniture, I decided to give her the elephant slide I had been saving for Robin. (Robin hasn’t asked for more blue furniture in over a month.) Pippy loved the slide, and she rewarded me with 510 bells.

Pippy: It makes my house like a million, BAJILLION times cuter!
