Yesterday, Filbert told me that he is now over his cold. He thanked me for the medicine I gave him last week, and he gave me some diner tile (flooring). He felt the need to remind me that the medicine was vile, though. 😛
Today, it was Truffles that was sick with a cold! So I gave her some medicine too. These colds can be annoying in the older games, when the sickness just moves from one animal to another.
I noticed a new house, and I went inside to meet my newest neighbor: Frobert!
He’s pretty cool! And I thought it was interesting that Drift was replaced with Frobert. I traded one jock frog for another!
Another surprising thing was that he was already unpacked. So that means he actually moved in yesterday, but I didn’t notice! I apparently walked right by his house without realizing it belonged to a new villager. Oops. I wish villagers’ house lights were always on when a villager is home, like they are in City Folk. In Wild World, the lights are off in the daytime, so it’s easy to miss someone.
I spotted Wendell in town, so I went back to my house to grab the gar I had saved for him. I took it over to him, and he gobbled it down. He loved it!
As expected, he gave me the “overhead view D” pattern. It’s part of the Nazca lines, and I now have three of the four pieces to it. I had to replace one of my road patterns, but that’s alright. I wasn’t planning on using them anytime soon anyway.
Unfortunately, I’ll have to wait (at least) until next summer to complete the Nazca lines set. That’s because I need a giant snakehead for the last piece, and those are out of season until next June.
Speaking of fishing, I caught a few big (or valuable) fish in the rain tonight…but not a coelacanth, sadly. However, I reeled in a red snapper, a king salmon, and a blue marlin.
