Two Slides

Yesterday, Truffles was very excited to tell me what she found…

Truffles: What, you ask?! It's a crack on the ground! Can you believe it? A CRACK!!!

A crack on the ground. But the dialogue didn’t have much of a point to it. She was just saying that you can dig where you see cracks in the ground to find what fabulous things were buried there. Just obvious, Day 1, tutorial type dialogue. 😛

Pippy has still been sick with a cold this week, so I gave her some more medicine yesterday and again today. However, she said she’s still not fully recovered yet.

Today, Curt was being unusually nice to me. It was odd.

Curt: I don't mean to sound like a kiss-up, hon, but you're good people.
Curt: Hmm... Yeah, I like that you come over and talk to me! You're all right!

Even though that conversation felt weird, that was nice of him.

Robin asked me for some blue furniture, so I kept an eye out when I went to shop at Nookington’s. I spotted an elephant slide, which is mostly blue, so I decided to buy that for her.

I went up to Robin’s house, but my heart dropped when I walked inside. She already had an elephant slide!

I know in some games (at least New Horizons), they won’t accept a gift if they already have one. But I tried it anyway, and to my surprise, she accepted it! She liked it, and she rewarded me with a cowhide rug! But this begged the question: Would she display them both? So I left and re-entered her house…and the answer is yes!

She even said it was weird to think about life without it!

Robin: Sometimes it's weird thinking about what life was like before I had it.

That’s such an odd thing to say, considering she already had one. 🤔 But hey, if she likes having two slides, that’s fine by me.

Frobert told me there was a lot of furniture he likes, but first he had to worry about his sweaty floors. Why would his floors be sweating? 😉 No, I guess he meant he had dripped his own sweat all over his floor, which sounds even worse. Gross…and an odd thing to say.

Frobert: But before I buy anything, I gotta do something about my sweaty floors!

At first I thought that was just (weird) random dialogue. But after I heard him say it a 2nd time, I wondered if he was actually asking me for some new flooring. So I went back to the shop and bought him some red tile (flooring). However, when I returned to him, he made no mention of the flooring in my pockets. I guess buying it was a waste of time (and bells).

At town hall, I found a birdcage in the recycle bin! Not sure who threw out a bird, but I guess they were trying to be Earth-friendly…you know: Reuse. Recycle. Re-tweet. 🐦

After selling some fossils and fruit, my savings balance reached 18 million bells.

Pelly: The current bell balance is 18,000,000.
