Month: June 2017

I saw a bug I hadn’t caught yet on a tree this evening. So I walked towards it…and then I scared it off. I reflexively swung my net anyway, and to my surprise, I actually caught it as it was trying to escape! I actually caught it the hard way. This was my first lanternfly.

I found a new house in town, and Hopper the penguin was inside. Even though he briefly lived in my GameCube town back in 2012, he’s not a villager that I’ve very familiar with. I haven’t seen much of him in any Animal Crossing game.

On the bulletin board, there was a new “Talking to Myself” post about TV shows. The writer (probably Phyllis or Pelly) talks about how she can’t tell which TV shows are real and which are fake.

Anyway, Nibbles was still bugging me about getting her some new clothes. And since I didn’t want anyone to have to see Nibbles’ naked niblets, I decided to buy an orange tie-dye shirt for her. She really seemed to like it, and she gave me a pilot’s cap to thank me.

Rod also asked me for new clothes today, so I bought a racer shirt for him.

He wasn’t thrilled with the shirt, but he gave me 510 bells for my trouble.

Puddles was still sick, and she described how she was feeling in way too much detail. She said she felt so queasy that she’s going to redecorate her shoes! That’s disgusting!

At the museum, I donated my lantern fly and identified two fossils. One of the fossils, a plesio torso, was one that I needed. It completed the plesiosaur.

I only need one more fossil (the parasaur skull) to complete this wing of the museum.

At town hall, I made a 23,000 bell mortgage payment. I then wrapped up my game for the night.

I received Yuka’s goodbye in the mail today. So long, Yucky Yuka!

June is a big month for new bugs to appear, and I caught several new ones tonight. That included this mosquito. I particularly liked the text that went along with the celebratory pose after catching it. I actually demand that the mosquito returns my blood! Unfortunately, I don’t have a good way of getting the blood back in. 😛

I also caught an oak silk moth, which is actually called a Japanese oak silk moth in Wild World, and a firefly. The fireflies look rather odd and squarish in this game.

Today is flea market day, and Big Top welcomed me to his “Mega Mart” store. He said the deals grab me by the lapels and punch me square in the teeth. Quite a dramatic statement, and it looks even worse when you take the second part of it completely out of context. 😛

I wasn’t interested in buying anything, despite his threats of bodily harm.

When I ran into Baabara outside, she said she was going to give me a present, but couldn’t because my pockets were full! Then why even tell me? With Yuka gone now, Baabara is the clear public enemy #1.

So I looked through my pockets to see what I could get rid of. I couldn’t sell anything, because the store was already closed for the night. So I buried a pitfall seed and then chatted with her again. But this time, she made no mention of a free gift! So I decided to try to push her into the pitfall. But things didn’t go quite as I planned. Somehow, she evaded my grasp and *I* was the one that fell into the pitfall!

Baabara may have won this battle, but the war is not over!

I went to the museum to donate my three new bugs. Blathers told me a tale of children that were unable to buy candles. He said they had to study by the light from fireflies! He found the idea of being that close to a bug vile and disgusting, and said that he’d rather read in the dark! Yeah, I don’t think most people have that ability though, Blathers.

Next, I headed downstairs to catch the Saturday night performance from K.K. Slider. He played K.K. Lament for me, which is a good song…but also quite sad. How depressing, K.K.! 😛

After the show, I checked in on Puddles. She’s still sick, and I couldn’t buy any medicine for her this time. Hopefully she’ll start to feel better soon.

I then returned home, put my new song in my stereo, and ended my game for the night.

When I visited Nibbles tonight, she told me that all of her dresses shrunk when she did her laundry. She said she’s going to have to walk around naked! No, don’t do that!

Big Top found a can of food that expired on the first of last year! He asked me to open it for him, so I did. When he looked inside, he freaked out. He said there was a weird cocoa-colored thing inside. I don’t even want to know what it was.

I saw a large dragonfly flying around, so I got my net out. But of course, it crossed the river and kept flying away. I chased it and chased it, until I finally caught it. It was…a darner dragonfly? It was so big, I thought it was a petaltail!

When I went in Yuka’s house, I saw that she had all her furniture packed up in boxes. She’s moving out of town!

I quickly said bye and then did a little dance to celebrate. 😀

I went to the museum to identify fossils and donate my darner dragonfly. But while I was there, Blathers had some more new dialogue for me. He was talking about more odd customers the museum has been getting lately, including an arrogant man who appeared to be a driver or a pilot.

He said the man would go to each exhibit and start ranting, saying things that just weren’t true.

Unlike last time, when Blathers seemed to be talking about Lyle, this one doesn’t sound like anyone obvious in the Animal Crossing world.

Outside, I caught some more bugs. The subsequent darner dragonflies I caught were much easier than that first one. 😛

Kiki asked me for a new greeting, and I told her to say “Gimme 100 rupees.”

After that, I bought some medicine and took it to Puddles. Get well soon, froggy.

Gracie was in town, but I just kept walking right past her. In town hall, I made a 30,000 bell mortgage payment before wrapping up my day in Forest.
