Cyrano in Love

Last Wednesday, I got to see the inside of Deena’s house. I was surprised that it looked like a gym! There was a weight bench, basketball hoop, table tennis, and a bunch of lockers! I would’ve expected something like this inside of a jock’s house.

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

Snake has still been sick, so I gave him some more medicine last Tuesday and Wednesday. By Thursday, he was over his cold and he gave me a modern sofa.

Saharah was in town Thursday, and I made deliveries to Phyllis and Tom Nook for her. In return, she offered me an ancient wall or a lunar surface. I jumped at the chance to get the lunar surface; that’s what I’ve been hoping for!

Saharah: Do you want an ancient wall or a lunar surface?

I installed it in my space room, and it’s almost complete. All I need now is the rocket from Crazy Redd.

The lunar surface in my ACWW space room.
Just don’t ask me how there’s a moon on the moon.

When I spoke with Olivia, she mentioned that Katrina switched from using a crystal ball to using tarot cards instead. That’s an interesting tidbit of information, although Katrina now uses a crystal ball again in New Horizons.

Olivia: She used to use her crystal ball to see the secrets of the future, but...
Olivia: ...she recently switched props. So she uses cards now, it's a lie.

I wished on two shooting stars last week; Wishy sent me a robo-stereo one day and a cement mixer another. Neither is what I wished for. 😛

Today (Monday), I shot down Gulliver’s UFO. It was my 14th one overall. I gathered up the astronaut’s spaceship parts, and he gave me a compass. Unfortunately, that was another duplicate item that I already had.

Gulliver: I am known as Gulliver. I am an astronaut from what you call outer space.

Over by the museum, Cyrano told me about a time he got a leg cramp while sipping cappuccino at the Roost. He said Celeste rolled her eyes at him, and he thought he was in love. 😛

Cyrano: Celeste totally rolled her eyes at me... I thought I was in love, in my nose!

Later on, I wished on another shooting star. I can’t tell you what I wished for, but I’m hoping to donate it to the museum. 😉 See you next time!

Deena Flies to Town

Last week, I wished on a shooting star, and Wishy sent me a baby panda in the mail. Since Wishy can apparently send spotlight products, I may put more time and effort into looking for shooting stars on clear nights. It’s taking forever for Nook to stock the paintings I need, so I’ll try anything at this point!

On Wednesday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO for the 13th time. I gathered up his missing UFO parts, and he rewarded me with an Arc de Triomphe.

Gulliver: At last, I can repair my Porpoise and return home! I am indebted to you!

That was a duplicate item for me, and I still have the first one I got from him. So I sold this one to Tom Nook for 2,300 bells.

Today (January 17th), I found a new house in the spot where Kiki once lived. That meant that Goldie’s replacement has moved in! I went inside and found Deena the duck.

Deena: One night, you and I should go stargazing and see if we can spot Cancer!

She may not be the cutest animal around, but she does seem nice! Welcome to Forest, ducky! 🙂

Snake was sick with a cold today, and he did not look well.

Snake is sick.
How can I talk you out of ever making that face again?

I gave him some medicine, but I’m sure it will take many more doses before he starts to feel better.

Cyrano asked me to buy a nebula shirt for 530 bells, and I took him up on the offer. But after I handed over the bells, he called me a sucker for buying the shirt at that price.

Cyrano: Thanks, come again! (Heh, I should sell ALL my junk to suckers like this!)

I recently posted a video taking a look at 24 things that Wild World introduced–features, events, tools, and special characters–that are still around today. Please give it a watch if you have the time!

That’s all for today. See you next time!

Golden Retreater

I was very disappointed to find a goodbye letter from Goldie in the mail tonight. 🙁

My dear friend Jeff, I'm leaving. You've been the nicest person in Forest! Thank you so much for everything! Miss you! -Goldie
I’ll miss you too!

Goldie was my favorite villager in town (as you may have seen in a recent video), and she’s been in Forest for over two years. I hate to see her go. Bob now takes over the top spot as my favorite current villager.

When I spoke with Cyrano, he told me that this place reminds him of a bucket he once had.

Cyrano: Hey! This place always brings up memories of this bucket I had...

When I asked him to elaborate, he said he forgot what he was going to say. I’m really not sure what this is all about. I remember Big Top once had some bucket-related dialogue, but this was different. Not to mention, Big Top and Cyrano have different personalities. Maybe I’ll hear more about this bucket another time. Then again, maybe I don’t want to hear more. 😛

Peanut asked me to deliver a letter to Cyrano, so I headed back to the blue anteater. He said the letter wasn’t a completely unpleasant surprise in his nose.

Cyrano: Well, I guess it isn't a completely unpleasant surprise, in my nose!
There is something distinct about the way you speak. 😛

When I returned to Peanut, she thanked me, and she rewarded me with a citrus carpet.

Peanut: So, by any chance, will a citrus carpet do?

Two minutes later, Olivia told me a story about an ex-boyfriend of hers: He said that she was more aggressive than he was. Olivia thanked me for being supportive (by just listening to her story), and she too gave me a citrus carpet!

Olivia: Well here... Take this as my way of saying thanks. It's a citrus carpet.

It’s weird enough to get the same item from two villagers in the same day, but especially when they’re just two minutes apart! It’s also somewhat interesting that carpets appear as carpets when given indoors, and as a treasure chests when given outdoors.

Have a great day, everyone. I will see you next time. Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Update: Getting two citrus carpets two minutes apart is not the biggest coincidence that occurred today. Check this out:
