Nook vs. Mabel

Yesterday, I received Victoria’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Um, like, hi, Jeff, Thanks for being so nice to me in Forest! I'll cherish our memories forever! TOTALLY FOREVER! -Sincerely, Victoria

I also received a letter from Mom. She told me that she heard people in big cities like to wear smaller clothes. She sent me an elephant shirt along with the letter.

When I visited Big Top, he again asked for clothes to wear while taking a bath. I offered him the elephant shirt, since he is an elephant, after all…and he loved it!

Big Top: An elephant shirt?! You understand me like no one else!

He gave me a puffy hat to thank me.

At Nookington’s, Tom Nook was asking me about the way he dresses. He asked if I thought he commands the respect that an owner of a shop, and I answered “Uh, maybe?” Keep in mind there was no “yes” or “no” options; only “maybe” and “that’s enough.” He rambled a bit, and said his clothes don’t suit him. I’ve seen this bit of dialogue before, but there’s more to this later in the entry.

Margie was still sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her.

I played again today, and Tom Nook had some follow-up dialogue. And it caught me off-guard!

Tom Nook: ...Remember the other day, Jeff, when you said my clothes were ugly, hm?

I did NOT say his clothes were ugly! But he said Mabel said that to him, and she told him to dress more hip. Tom did not appreciate the insult, and he called Mabel a child.

Tom Nook: Yes, yes, her conduct just goes to show that Mabel is still a child.

Anyway, Nook had a spotlight product today. However, it was just a regal clock.

Margie was still sick, so I bought her some more medicine once again.

Victoria’s replacement moved in today, and it’s Patty the cow. I’ve had her in my GameCube and City Folk towns before. I have a fairly neutral opinion of her: She’s not one of my favorites, but I don’t really dislike her either. Welcome to Forest, Patty!

Patty: Evening! I'm Patty. I gotta say, I just love to walk around.

My 2nd-newest villager Rolf asked me for a fossil, so I gave him one that I dug up today: a shark tooth.

Rolf: Huh? Wait, what? This shark tooth fossil is for me? ...Thanks!

He rewarded me with 520 bells.

See you all next time!

Victoria Vamooses

Antonio was talking about flowers today, including pansies, cosmos, roses, and…toobies?

Antonio: Pansies! Cosmos! Roses! Tu... Tubles! No, Toobies!

I’m guessing he was thinking of tulips, but he couldn’t think of the correct word. 😛

Nookington’s had a spotlight product today, but it was an exotic chest again! That’s the same item as last week, and it’s at least the third time the exotic chest has shown up.

Goldie apparently had an argument with Benedict, and she was feeling really down. I hope you feel better soon!

Goldie: ...Right now, my heart is sinking deep into the well of sorrow, meooo-OH.

Victoria was all packed up and ready to move out of town. I like Victoria, but I did not try to stop her.

Victoria: Oh, J-puff! Listen, just so you know, I'm gonna move out soon...

Margie was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her.

Big Top asked me for some clothes he could wear while taking a bath, so I bought a fresh shirt for him at Able Sisters. But when I gave it to him, he refused it!

Big Top: You know what? I think this fresh shirt would look better on you.

And suddenly, I remembered why I stopped helping out with these clothing requests for a while. 😛

Rolf Moved In!

On Tuesday, I received Kabuki’s goodbye letter in the mail. He said he was so tired of Forest, which he called a stink hole! Wow, what a jerk. I’m glad he’s gone now.

To Jeff, Finally! I picked up and left Forest! I was so tired of this stink hole! Anyway, come visit, OK? Don't cry. -Kabuki

Tuesday was Crazy Redd day, and Benedict shared Redd’s password with me: one ugly fellow (talking about Tom Nook, of course).

Benedict: Crazy Redd's password this time is one ugly fellow! Huh huh! Keep it on the DL!

However, Crazy Redd didn’t have anything I needed. His work of art this week was the perfect painting, which I already have in the museum.

Yesterday, Benedict gave me a flame shirt for free, and I decided to put it on.

Today, I found a new house in the spot where Kiki used to live. I went inside, and I was very happy to find Rolf inside!

Rolf: My name is Rolf. Well, nice to meet you, grrrolf!

Rolf is one of my favorite villagers in the entire series, and it’s grrrrreat to have him! I just hope the rudeness of Wild World (especially with Rolf being a cranky) doesn’t ruin him for me. 😛 For those who may be unaware, I also have Rolf in my New Leaf town.

When Tom Nook told me that there was a spotlight product for sale today, I briefly wondered if an already good day could turn into a great day. However, the spotlight product was just an exotic chest, and not one of the paintings that I’m still hoping to see. 😛

Back outside, Margie apparently had an argument with someone. She was really feeling sad, but she didn’t dish any specifics.

Margie: J-puff, have you ever eaten something that makes your stomach feel queasy?
Margie: That's how I feel right now, but I didn't eat anything. I think I'm just sad...
Who did this to you?!

When I visited Antonio, he told me he was going to give me his Mr. Flamingo for free. And then he said it’s not my color, so never mind. This may be my least favorite bit of dialogue in the game. Don’t offer me free stuff and then change your mind!

Since this will be the last day of the month that I’ll be playing, I put all of my bells into the bank. I’ll make a bit more interest this way.

Have a great Halloween, everyone! I’ll see you next week. 🙂
