Petriperm

On Saturday, I found a note in a bottle. It was actually a help-wanted ad from the Animal Crossing team! They were looking for adventurers to fish and pick fruit for up to 800 bells an hour.

Wanted: Part-time Help. Seeking new and seasoned adventurers to pick fruit, fish, and much more! Earn up to 800 bells per hour! -Animal Crossing Team

Big Top was still sick, so I gave him some medicine once again. And at the Roost, K.K. Slider played some reggae for me.

Tom Nook had some new dialogue for me. He said that Harriet approached him and said that he would look good in a petriperm.

Tom Nook, quoting Harriet: Nook, I bet you'd look absolutely scrumptious in a petriperm!

Tom Nook didn’t know what she meant, but he pretended that he did.

Tom Nook: Oh, yes, yes, a petriperm. I had those all the time when I was younger!Tom Nook: ...Yes, yes, a blatant lie. I acted like I knew what it was, yes?

He said Harriet just laughed and laughed.

I played again today, and Big top was over his cold. He thanked me for the medicine and gave me a backyard fence.

I listened in as Bud and Hopper had a conversation about…nose hair. I didn’t want to get tangled up in that.

Bud: You're got a serious nose hair issue going on, bigfoot!

Crazy Redd was in town, and he had an opulent painting for sale. I didn’t need it.

There was a new Message of the Week on the bulletin board: Blood is thicker than water.

*Message of the Week* Blood is thicker than water. That's kinda gross.

I went into town hall to check on my town status. Pelly told me that there were too many items on the ground. That’s because of my pitfall seed collection near the gate. I’ll need to clean those up sometime soon.

When I went into Nookington’s, Tom Nook informed me that he finally figured out what a petriperm was. It’s short for “petrified perm,” where the hairdresser gives you very tight curls. Tom Nook thought he’d look like a clown if he had one.

Tom Nook: The curls are firm as rock! Why, if I did that, I'd look like a circus clown!

There was a new house in town, and Margie the elephant was inside. She seems nice.

Margie: Anyway, I'm Margie. I really hope we can be friends, tootie!

Curly asked me to deliver a gift to Baabara, and the package contained a nurse’s uniform! Interesting. When I returned to Curly, he rewarded me with 500 bells.

My town is about a year and a half old, and I still have much I want to do. My goals are to complete the museum, to complete Boondox, and to achieve perfect town status.

I also want to shoot stuff down with my slingshot. Not only the UFO and Pete, but I haven’t even shot down a balloon present yet! Without a shadow on the ground, it’s so hard to judge the distances of whatever appears on the top screen. I’ll do it eventually, though.
