Big Top’s Bad Day

Yesterday, I received Benedict’s goodbye letter in the mail. He used some awesome hamburger stationery. The greeting and closing fit perfectly on the burger buns.

Good-bye, Jeff, We had some good times. Sleeping... Eating... Hm... Eating some more. But now I'm moving. See you around! See ya! -Benedict

Today, I started up the game and shot down my first balloon present in a couple of years! That’s because I’ve mostly been playing at night until lately (and they only appear during the day in Wild World). The present was a CD player.

But I wasn’t done using my slingshot for the day… At my first x:x7, a UFO flew by overhead! Since I was ready for it, I shot it down with relative ease. I actually had more trouble with the slow-moving balloon present. 😂😂😂

This was my third UFO shot down in Wild World overall (and my 2nd in June). I rushed over to Gulliver and woke him up. Eventually.

Gulliver: Flag on the moon... Numm numm numm... How did it get there...?

He asked me to gather up the missing parts of his spaceship, so of course I did. When I took them all back to him, he rewarded me with a Metroid! That’s the item that took me forever (19 tries) in City Folk! But I added it to my space room, along with a lunar rover I bought at Nookington’s yesterday.

Later on, I listened in on a conversation between Big Top and Rolf. Big Top tried to get Rolf to take a quiz, but Rolf wanted no part of it. He was actually mad about it! He asked if I was going to allow Big Top to quiz him, and I said I saw no problem with it. So Rolf called us both idiots!

Rolf: Idiots! Both of you!

He then said Big Top’s hemming and hawing are going to ruin this town! 😮

Rolf: Your hemming and hawing is going to ruin this town, grrrolf!

He made Big Top cry! For someone that’s one of my top-five villagers in the whole series, I really, really dislike him right now. I may not even keep him around after he gives me his photo.

Big Top’s day got even worse a few minutes later. As I was fishing a carp out of the river, Big Top fell into a pitfall!

Big Top struggles to get out of a pitfall.

Margie is still sick, so I gave her some more medicine.

Even though this is my 3rd blog entry this week (and 4th in five days), I may not be done just yet. I’m still playing daily to check turnip prices, and I’m also trying to find Wendell so that I can give him my red turnip and get this trading sequence underway. So I’ll probably be back soon with more! See you then!
