I’m Not a Pikmin!

Yesterday, a UFO came while I wasn’t prepared for it; I was speaking with Robin. But I ended the conversation, got my slingshot out, ran to the edge of town, and just barely hit the UFO. It was probably the closest call I’ve ever had (at least in Wild World), but I got it. To be honest though, it doesn’t look like I should have hit it. This is the frame in which the UFO got hit:

Three pellets appear to fly past a UFO, even though the UFO registers a hit.

As you can see, my three pellets already appear to be already up and above the UFO (and too far to the left). I’m lucky they gave me credit for this one.

I was searching for the UFO parts when Robin pinged me. She told me she heard snythpop music coming from somewhere, and she said it must mean that nighttime is starting.

Robin: Hmm... I hear the sound of synthpop coming from somewhere!

I have no idea what she was talking about. 😛

In the southern part of town, I found two UFO parts practically right next to each other. Nice. ⚙️⚙️

Two of Gulliver's UFO parts next to each other on the ground.

Once I gathered up all five parts, I took them over to Gulliver. In exchange, he handed me some chocolates. I’ll probably save them for a future gift for one of my villagers.

As I spoke to Gulliver more though, he said my head looks like a seed pod!

Gulliver: Is your head made of animal or vegetal matter? It looks somewhat like a seed pod.

He even said he’d love to see the flowers that bloom from my head-bulb! OMG, does he think I’m a Pikmin?!

Gulliver: How I would love to see the flowers that would bloom from your head-bulb!

Caroline has still been sick with a cold, so I gave her some more medicine yesterday and again today.

Dr. Shrunk was in town today, and I asked him to teach me the “distress” emotion. So he told me a little about his best childhood friend.

Shrunk: ...My best childhood friend was a lizard. That did some damage on the psyche.

I replaced “fear” with “distress,” even though I pretty much never use these emotions in this game.

Over at town hall, I put 100k into the bank and my savings balance reached 16 million bells. Ka-ching!

Pelly: The current bell balance is 16,000,000.
