Crazy Redd was in town today, and I used the password “be charged” to get inside his tent. He had a nice painting for sale, but I didn’t need it. The last couple of paintings always seem to take forever in Animal Crossing games.
Kiki has been asking me for some black furniture lately, and today I saw a modern bed for sale at Nookington’s. I bought it for Kiki, even though it cost me 2,320 bells. She was happy to have it, and she said she owes me dinner. She also gave me an ivy wall.
Big Top’s house was empty again, as he was planning on moving away. But once again, I got him to reconsider.
Curly asked me if I like Pelly or Phyllis more. I responded by saying Pelly. Curly said Pelly looks nice, but he likes more spice in his stew.
And I like you in my stew.
After I finished making my rounds, I cleaned up my pitfall seeds by the gate and put them in storage. I then checked my town status at town hall. Pelly said it wasn’t passing, but not failing either.
She then got a bit more specific, saying if we added some green, it would help. I’m really not looking forward to having to plant tons of flowers and water them every day, to be honest. So I’m still not tackling this issue just yet.
Note: I didn’t play last Saturday, so I didn’t get any new K.K. songs since last time. I’m not sure if I’ll play this Saturday either, but maybe.
On Saturday, I found a note in a bottle. It was actually a help-wanted ad from the Animal Crossing team! They were looking for adventurers to fish and pick fruit for up to 800 bells an hour.
Big Top was still sick, so I gave him some medicine once again. And at the Roost, K.K. Slider played some reggae for me.
Tom Nook had some new dialogue for me. He said that Harriet approached him and said that he would look good in a petriperm.
Tom Nook didn’t know what she meant, but he pretended that he did.
He said Harriet just laughed and laughed.
I played again today, and Big top was over his cold. He thanked me for the medicine and gave me a backyard fence.
I listened in as Bud and Hopper had a conversation about…nose hair. I didn’t want to get tangled up in that.
Crazy Redd was in town, and he had an opulent painting for sale. I didn’t need it.
There was a new Message of the Week on the bulletin board: Blood is thicker than water.
I went into town hall to check on my town status. Pelly told me that there were too many items on the ground. That’s because of my pitfall seed collection near the gate. I’ll need to clean those up sometime soon.
When I went into Nookington’s, Tom Nook informed me that he finally figured out what a petriperm was. It’s short for “petrified perm,” where the hairdresser gives you very tight curls. Tom Nook thought he’d look like a clown if he had one.
There was a new house in town, and Margie the elephant was inside. She seems nice.
Curly asked me to deliver a gift to Baabara, and the package contained a nurse’s uniform! Interesting. When I returned to Curly, he rewarded me with 500 bells.
My town is about a year and a half old, and I still have much I want to do. My goals are to complete the museum, to complete Boondox, and to achieve perfect town status.
I also want to shoot stuff down with my slingshot. Not only the UFO and Pete, but I haven’t even shot down a balloon present yet! Without a shadow on the ground, it’s so hard to judge the distances of whatever appears on the top screen. I’ll do it eventually, though.
Last Thursday, I spotted Katrina’s tent in town. Inside, Katrina talked about Tom Nook rehearsing his smile, and then she gave me a fortune that sounded fairly neutral.
But just a few moments later, I fell flat on my face! I think this was the first time I’ve taken a spill like this in Wild World. Clearly, it was due to the curse fortune from Katrina.
I didn’t want to be the only one that was falling down, so I grabbed a few pitfall seeds and planted some fun for my villagers. 😉 I managed to get Hopper, Rhonda, and Curly…although Curly took a little extra effort. He seemed to walk right over one pitfall without falling in! But I got him good a few moments later. You can see all of this pitfall fun in the video at the end of this entry.
Between pitfalls, Hopper told Rhonda a story about how his dad used to put on a hockey mask and jump out of his closet when Hopper was young. 😛
Rhonda said that explains why Hopper is so messed up. 😀
I didn’t check my mail on Thursday, and then I didn’t play at all on Saturday. So I had quite a few letters waiting for me today. I was particularly surprised to find a goodbye letter from Rhonda!
My villagers don’t normally move out without notice, but then again I don’t normally go more then 3-4 days without playing. This time, I went five days (since I played on Thursday instead of Saturday last week). So maybe that’s why. Well, at least it wasn’t Kiki or Rosie that moved away.
I also got a letter from Lyle; he sent me 100 bells because I fell last week. How does he know these things???
And of course, I also received the latest letter from Boondox. Apparently my 100,000 bell donation went to medicine for a sick turtle?
There was a blue feather attached to the letter, which means that Boondox just proposed to me. Oh wait, this is Animal Crossing, not Harvest Moon. 😉 I put the blue feather on. As for the green feather, I attached it to my first Boondox letter and stored it in the post office.
I also found a note in a bottle on the beach, and it seemed to have someone’s tax form inside.
Big Top was sick with a cold (did he catch it from the Boondox turtle?), so I gave him some medicine. He then sneezed away the chills.
Crazy Redd was in town, but I didn’t need the worthy painting he had for sale.
When I ran into Rosie, she was trying to unload her “old, lame junk.” She asked if I wanted to help her recycle, and I said yes.
So she gave me a cloudy shirt, and I decided to wear it. It’ll match my blue feather.
And now, here is my latest Wild World video, Ep. 14. It includes highlights of the past two months or so, including the pitfall fun I mentioned above. I hope you enjoy it!
