On Tuesday, Blathers had some new dialogue for me. He told me that he tried doing some fieldwork to find fossils, but he soon discovered how heavy shovels can be.
So he concluded that manual labor is not for him.
Puddles was finally over her cold. She thanked me for all the medicine by giving me a regal carpet.
On Thursday, Big Top asked me if my best friend was a banana bread.
I thought that was an unusual question. Besides, how did he know?! 😛 I answered “absolutely” and he said the banana bread would never let me down like a person would.
Hopper again asked me if I was from the countryside. To see what he’d say, I picked the “Wooo-haaa!” option (meaning yes). He responded that I’m probably getting money from a farm. Yeah, in Stardew Valley. So because of that, he said I probably didn’t need a Nile shirt. So he didn’t give it to me.
Rhonda showed me a letter she received from someone calling themselves “All Paws.” It was about taking over the world. 😮
Hopper told me to go wild during the Acorn Festival. He even said to unleash my mad acorn lust. 😮
Yesterday, Blathers complained about another aspect of doing fieldwork: Finding worms in the ground!
The only option to continue his story was for me to call him a wimp. And when I did, he got fired up! I can’t recall seeing Blathers mad like this before!
Today, Rhonda thought she was a comedian.
And I found an odd “Talking to Myself” message posted to the bulletin board. What exactly is going on in the kids’ section of the library??
Throughout the week, I’ve been collecting acorns every day and taking them to Cornimer. In addition to the rewards he gave me on the first day, he has since given me a mush dresser, mush closet, mush stand, mush table, mush TV, mush bed, forest wall, and forest floor. Here’s a look at the full set.
I wrapped up my day by making a 68,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall.
As of yesterday, I’ve been playing Wild World for a full year now. (Want to see my first entry?) It’s safe to say that the Acorn Festival is my favorite festival in the game…although I wish it didn’t take me six days to complete the mush set. Still, it’s the only festival in the game that really feels like a traditional Animal Crossing festival to me.
Don’t get me wrong, I like Bright Nights too. But it’s really just something cool to look at, and there’s not much you can actually do. So I’m glad I was finally able to participate in the Acorn Festival after all these years.
If you haven’t collected all 230 acorns you need for the full set, you still have tomorrow (Sunday) to pick another batch. Good luck to those who are still collecting acorns! 🙂
Here is a video showing the Acorn Festival.
He then introduced himself as the mysterious Cornimer. 😛
Cornimer explained that he uses his special powers to scatter acorns around town. He compared himself to the tooth fairy, but in reverse. There’s got to be a better way to say that.
He told me to bring him all the acorns I can find, but not any rotten acorns. If I take him enough acorns, he will give me prizes. So I began my search. Acorns appear under regular (non-fruit, non-cedar) trees, from what I can tell. So I began picking them up.
I returned to him with some acorns, but before he accepted them, he gave me my fortune. Apparently I’m a medium acorn.
He then gave me a mush stool in exchange for my first seven acorns. I continued my search as I made my rounds. Many of my villagers were also talking about the festival.
As far as I can tell, the shapes don’t matter. Other than the rotten ones of course, which you don’t want to give to Tortimer. I just put mine in the recycle bin at town hall.
Puddles was still sick today, but I didn’t buy her any medicine. I was actually going to, but I just forgot. Oops. But if the five doses I’ve already given her haven’t helped, I don’t know that a sixth would’ve made a difference anyway.
During one of my stops at town hall, I made a 15,000 bell mortgage payment.
There are more items to earn, so I’ll be playing more this week.
I chatted with Rod outside of Able Sisters, and he said it would be funny if Joey and Hopper turned out to be brothers. They may both be birds, but they’re different species. Joey is a duck, and Hopper is a penguin.
He then said it would be hilarious if they were actually sisters! Yes, that would be quite a surprise. 😛
Puddles was still sick, and I gave her some medicine…for the 5th time! I’m getting tired of this. But at least Puddles was very grateful. She even said I was at the top of her friend list. And I believe she actually meant it.
Today was Kiki’s birthday, so I attended her party. Baabara was also there to help her celebrate. For Kiki’s present, I gave her a ring! A life ring, that is.
Despite the shocked look on her face, she seemed to enjoy the gift. She then thanked me by giving me a lovely wall.
