Bad Training Advice

Yesterday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO. When the camera cut to the crash site, I saw Octavian there! Did the UFO almost land on him, like it did to Eloise in November? Or did Octavian get off the UFO? He does have a space-themed house and he looks a bit like an alien! Maybe Gulliver was just his Uber ride home after a shopping trip in another galaxy. 😛

Octavian walks around immediately after a UFO crash.

I rushed over to the crash site, and Octavian wouldn’t discuss the elephant in the room. He made no mention of the crashed UFO right next to him, as if he didn’t see it or know anything about it. 😉

Anyway, I gathered up the missing UFO parts and Gulliver gave me another Moai statue for recovering them all. By the way, this was my 33rd UFO shot down…which equals the number I’ve shot down in City Folk! They’re much easier in Wild World though, which is how I’ve caught up despite playing Wild World half as long.

Today was Groundhog Day in North America, and it’s only mentioned via a letter from Mom.

Dear Jeff, Did the groundhog show his face today? There IS a groundhog in that odd commune you live in, yes? I must know! -Mom

When I spoke with Drift, he reminded me that the Bright Nights festival is coming up next week.

Drift: Hon! Guess what?! The Bright Nights are starting soon, mew!

But he gave me some odd advice: He told me to train for it with ice cubes in my shorts! I don’t think so! 🧊

Drift: Cold can make you cramp up, so train for it with ice cubes in your shorts, OK?

But I’m not the only one that thinks Drift is a bit strange. Caroline asked me to deliver a letter to Drift, and he showed me the letter (in which Caroline called him strange):

You're strange, Drift! Hey, Drift! Hear me out, will you? My feet grew after I danced to cabaret! See ya! -Caroline

But after reading that, I’m starting to think Caroline is a bit strange as well. 😛 When I returned to her, she rewarded me with a citrus wall for making the delivery.

Have a good weekend, everyone! See you next time!
