It was almost midnight when I started up the game tonight, so I quickly made my way to the Roost. I asked K.K. Slider to play a random song for me, and he played some soul.

Hopper wanted to compete to see who could catch a sea bass first. Since villagers can’t actually catch fish on their own, I figured it would be easy. So I agreed to the competition.

Puddles was finally over her cold, and she thanked me profusely. She also gave me an arched window.

I got a bit of a scare when I visited Kiki. She had all of her furniture packed up in boxes, and she was about to move out of town! But I breathed a sigh of relief when I remembered this was Wild World, and I could change her mind. And indeed, she agreed to reconsider on my very first attempt.

In front of my house, I ran into Baabara. She was talking about how she once wanted to be a pop star. When she was done talking, she asked me to pretend we never had the conversation.

With my walk around town complete, I decided to start fishing for that sea bass for Hopper. I caught several red snappers, a few octopi, two old tires, a boot, and even a hammerhead shark!

I also caught a stag beetle I saw on a tree. But it was taking me quite a while to catch a sea bass! There’s always lots of them, until you actually want to find one. 😛 But eventually, I did catch one. When I took it over to Hopper, he rewarded me by giving me his imperial tile.

I made one last stop at the museum, where I donated my hammerhead shark and stag beetle. My pockets are now full of stuff to sell when I play next time.

I saw a bug I hadn’t caught yet on a tree this evening. So I walked towards it…and then I scared it off. I reflexively swung my net anyway, and to my surprise, I actually caught it as it was trying to escape! I actually caught it the hard way. This was my first lanternfly.

I found a new house in town, and Hopper the penguin was inside. Even though he briefly lived in my GameCube town back in 2012, he’s not a villager that I’ve very familiar with. I haven’t seen much of him in any Animal Crossing game.

On the bulletin board, there was a new “Talking to Myself” post about TV shows. The writer (probably Phyllis or Pelly) talks about how she can’t tell which TV shows are real and which are fake.

Anyway, Nibbles was still bugging me about getting her some new clothes. And since I didn’t want anyone to have to see Nibbles’ naked niblets, I decided to buy an orange tie-dye shirt for her. She really seemed to like it, and she gave me a pilot’s cap to thank me.

Rod also asked me for new clothes today, so I bought a racer shirt for him.

He wasn’t thrilled with the shirt, but he gave me 510 bells for my trouble.

Puddles was still sick, and she described how she was feeling in way too much detail. She said she felt so queasy that she’s going to redecorate her shoes! That’s disgusting!

At the museum, I donated my lantern fly and identified two fossils. One of the fossils, a plesio torso, was one that I needed. It completed the plesiosaur.

I only need one more fossil (the parasaur skull) to complete this wing of the museum.

At town hall, I made a 23,000 bell mortgage payment. I then wrapped up my game for the night.

I received Yuka’s goodbye in the mail today. So long, Yucky Yuka!

June is a big month for new bugs to appear, and I caught several new ones tonight. That included this mosquito. I particularly liked the text that went along with the celebratory pose after catching it. I actually demand that the mosquito returns my blood! Unfortunately, I don’t have a good way of getting the blood back in. 😛

I also caught an oak silk moth, which is actually called a Japanese oak silk moth in Wild World, and a firefly. The fireflies look rather odd and squarish in this game.

Today is flea market day, and Big Top welcomed me to his “Mega Mart” store. He said the deals grab me by the lapels and punch me square in the teeth. Quite a dramatic statement, and it looks even worse when you take the second part of it completely out of context. 😛

I wasn’t interested in buying anything, despite his threats of bodily harm.

When I ran into Baabara outside, she said she was going to give me a present, but couldn’t because my pockets were full! Then why even tell me? With Yuka gone now, Baabara is the clear public enemy #1.

So I looked through my pockets to see what I could get rid of. I couldn’t sell anything, because the store was already closed for the night. So I buried a pitfall seed and then chatted with her again. But this time, she made no mention of a free gift! So I decided to try to push her into the pitfall. But things didn’t go quite as I planned. Somehow, she evaded my grasp and *I* was the one that fell into the pitfall!

Baabara may have won this battle, but the war is not over!

I went to the museum to donate my three new bugs. Blathers told me a tale of children that were unable to buy candles. He said they had to study by the light from fireflies! He found the idea of being that close to a bug vile and disgusting, and said that he’d rather read in the dark! Yeah, I don’t think most people have that ability though, Blathers.

Next, I headed downstairs to catch the Saturday night performance from K.K. Slider. He played K.K. Lament for me, which is a good song…but also quite sad. How depressing, K.K.! 😛

After the show, I checked in on Puddles. She’s still sick, and I couldn’t buy any medicine for her this time. Hopefully she’ll start to feel better soon.

I then returned home, put my new song in my stereo, and ended my game for the night.
