Drifting Away

Today, I found a goodbye letter from Drift in the mail. He has hopped out of town without warning. Was he upset that I didn’t use his song as the town tune last week?

Hoo-ha, Jeff, I'm moving. I have my reasons. No worries, yo! I'm sure you'll remember me fondly. Keep pumpin'! See ya! -From Drift

When I spoke with Pippy, she referenced the fact that two people live in my house. Villager is the other person, and I only created him to unlock spotlight items at Nook’s shop.

Pippy: Whaaaaaaaaaat?! There's only two of you in that house?!

She then went on to assume that Villager is cute?

Pippy: I'm guessing from your smile that the person you're roomin' with is cute!

She wanted me to introduce them, but that’s probably not going to happen.

Over by the museum, Truffles mentioned that Blathers wanted to be a pro archaeologist.

Truffles: Well, I heard that he once wanted to be a pro archaeologist!

She then said it seems like everyone has skeletons in the closet. And that made me wonder what was so wrong about wanting to be an archaeologist? But then, it hit me. Maybe she was making a pun. After all, it’s reasonable to think an aspiring archaeologist might literally have skeletons in their closet.

Truffles: ...Boy, seems like EVERYONE around here has skeletons in the closet, snoutie!

Filbert was sick with a cold today, so I gave him some medicine. Get well soon!

Later, I headed over to the Roost. K.K. Slider performed “Imperial K.K.” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Imperial K.K.!

Before wrapping up my game for the night, I decided to make a few laps around the “lake,” to look for a gar. On about my 5th trip around, I caught one!

I caught a gar! ...Nose like a GARden hose!

I’ll be saving this one for Wendell, so I put it in my house for now. Hopefully I’ll remember it the next time Wendell shows up.
