Friends are Watches?

When I played on Wednesday, I received a letter from Curt in the mail. At first, I thought that meant he moved out, but that wasn’t the case this time. There is one other reason a villager will send you a letter: When they have a birthday coming up. He invited me to his birthday party on July 1st, and I thought this letter was pretty funny:

Hey there, Jeff, I'll be one year older on July 1st! So come to my place for cake and some sad jazz music. COME! From, Curt

I don’t often play on Tuesdays, but I’ll try to make an exception next week (if I remember).

Over by town hall, I listened in on a conversation between Whitney and Filbert. Whitney was taking a personality quiz, and she asked if I wanted to take it too. She asked what role a wristwatch plays in my life, and I chose “convenience.” She said watches symbolize friendship, so Filbert jumped in and said that according to me, “friends are just watches.”

Filbert: So according to you, bunny, friends are just watches.

Filbert and Whitney both got mad at me, for something I never said! Whitney even called me a big unfeeling robot. I wanted to clock them both. 😛

Filbert: I don't get you! At all!
Whitney: You think Filbert is a watch?! YOU'RE JUST A BIG, UNFEELING ROBOT!

And to think, these are (or were?) my two favorite villagers in town! And they ganged up on me to attack me for something so harmless. This might be the most unhinged conversation I’ve seen in Animal Crossing yet. So unnecessarily mean-spirited.

Yesterday, Curt was telling me that it’s not cool to rummage through villagers’ stuff. But as he did, he referenced the “population growing,” which is on the sign on the cover of the first Animal Crossing.

Curt: It's all fine and good that the population of Forest is growing...

It was raining, and Truffles was afraid the rain was going to turn her into Truffles soup! Yuck, I think I’d rather have some hot ham water. 😛

Truffles: But this rain will turn me into Truffles soup in, like, two seconds flat!

Robin asked me for a new catchphrase, so I told her to say “on a pizza.” Admittedly, it isn’t the most logical catchphrase…like it would be for Anchovy. But I’m hoping the randomness of it will spice up Robin’s dialogue a bit.

Robin: Yes, I, too, salute career ladies everywhere! After all, I am one, on a pizza!
Robin: Eeeek! OK, Robin, don't cry! It'll mess up your mascara! On a pizza!

Caroline’s sickness has continued into its third week! 😮 I gave her more medicine Wednesday and yesterday. By today, she was finally over her cold! She thanked me for the medicine and gave me some slate flooring.

Caroline: Here you go! Consider my slate flooring all yours, stop it.

After three weeks, I was wondering if she’d ever get over that cold. Well, better slate than never. 😛

Pascal was down on the beach today, and he told me some words of wisdom before handing me some sea view wallpaper.

Pascal: You only scrape your feet if you dwell on the bottom, maaannn.
