Blathers’ Wee Break

Flower Fest is still underway, with tomorrow being the last day. Poor Tortimer was getting tired from standing outside all day.

Tortimer: Oh, Jeff... I'm so tired. My feet ache from standing here all day.When I spoke to Rod, he informed me that shamrocks don’t count as flowers. Actually, he responded as if I was the one that told him the news.

Rod: What?! Shamrocks don't count?!In the museum, Blathers had some new dialogue for me. He said that keeping the museum open 24 hours a day is a ferocious work schedule, and of course he’s right about that. But he said that when the museum is empty, he sneaks downstairs for some coffee and a wee break.

Blathers: I go downstairs for a cup of coffee and a wee break, hoo! Oh, such naughtiness!
So you wee in the Roost?

After Blathers identified two fossils I dug up, I went downstairs too. But not for a wee break, but to hear K.K. perform. He played K.K. Dirge for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Dirge!Next, I visited Puddles, and she said she bought a gift for me! But when she went to hand it to me, she couldn’t find it. She left it at the store! Sounds like she never really bought it for me in the first place.

Puddles: Shooot! I must've left it at the store! Dang!After finishing my rounds, I made a 20,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall and then returned home for the night.

Tomorrow is the last day of the Flower Fest, so I imagine I’ll find out the results the next time I play. See you soon!

Flower Fest Begins

Now that April is here, the regular (non-fruit) trees are now pink. It’s cherry blossom season, so enjoy the colorful trees while they last. 🙂

Pink trees in April for cherry blossom season in Animal Crossing: Wild World.The flower fest is now underway. Before I got over to Tortimer for the full explanation, Big Top was telling me that flowers bloom brighter when they hear good jokes. He warned me against telling any “groaners.”

Big Top: So don't go around telling any groaners, OK? They could do permanent damage!Static let me know that Sunday is the last day of the flower fest. He told me to keep it in mind while I’m losing.

Static: Sunday's the last day! So just keep that in mind when you're losing, loser!I then made my way over to town hall, where Tortimer explained the event to me. He said that this week, Forest residents will transform the area around their homes into the garden of their dreams. On Sunday, he will judge the gardens and give the winner the title of Green Thumb.

Tortimer: Then I will grant the best gardener the esteemed title of Green Thumb!He then gave me a white pansy bag, to thank me for letting his heart’s garden bloom…with arteriosclerosis.

Tortimer: This is just a symbol of my thanks for letting my heart's garden bloom...

With arteriosclerosis! WAAH! Heh heh heh HOORF!
That’s exactly the type of groaner that Big Top warned me about.

The latest message of the week on the bulletin board said that there’s no “i” in team, but there is one in “traitor.”

*Message of the Week* There's no "i" in team. But there IS one in traitor!After finding today’s money rock and picking up my bells, I heard someone fall into a pitfall. It was Static! I didn’t even put that one there, it was just the day’s random pitfall.

Static: Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! I'm stuck! Unlike you!
That’s what you get for calling me a loser.

Chevre had all of her furniture packed up in boxes, and she was ready to move out of town! But I got her to reconsider on my first attempt.

Chevre: Jeff, if you want me here so badly, I'll think about it. But no promises!When I visited Kiki, I saw that she finally over her cold. About time!

At the museum, Blathers had something bothering him again. He was upset because someone (clearly Crazy Redd) tried to sell Brewster some fake art. Blathers basically called Brewster simple and gullible. Blathers said he saved the day by scaring off Crazy Redd before Brewster bought anything from him.

Blathers: This wretch was trying to sell Brewster a counterfeit piece of art! Hoo-rrific!I only found one fossil today, an iguanadon skull. But it was one that I needed for the museum, and in fact, it completed the iguanadon.

When I returned home, I saw that my yard wasn’t really fit for a garden. The stone pavement in front of my house doesn’t leave room for me to plant many flowers! But honestly, I’m trying to win the flower fest anyway. I planted the white pansies that Tortimer gave me, but that’s all I’m doing. 😛 Good luck to the animals in town!

The stone pavement in my yard.

Blathers’ Bad News, Good News

I found a note in a bottle on the beach tonight.

A note in a bottle on the beach. Inside, I found a letter from the Animal Crossing team! It suggested playing Animal Crossing for an hour a day to avoid boredom. 😛

Caution: 1) Avoid excessive heat. 2) Avoid extreme cold. 3) Avoid boredom by playing for an hour a day. -Animal Crossing TeamCrazy Redd had a tent set up outside of town hall, so I went inside to see what he had. I took a chance on this solemn painting for 3,920 bells.

Redd: Yes, yes. Now that there solemn painting is quite the little item.A note on the bulletin board informed me that the flower festival would be starting up on Monday! It said to buy a watering can and some flower seeds.

-Festival Notice- The Flower Fest will begin next Monday. Buy a watering can and seeds and get to work!At the museum, I got some bad news about that painting I bought from Crazy Redd. It’s a fake! Too bad Animal Crossing doesn’t have a flamethrower tool, so I could burn down Redd’s tent.

Blathers: Hoo now? This painting... Upon closer inspection, it is a COUNTERFEIT!I got better news from Blathers when I handed him a fossil to identify. It turned out to be a dimetrodon tail, and that completed the dimetrodon.

Blathers: ...Does this mean that the dimetrodon is complete?!After that, I made a 25,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall, and then headed to Kiki’s house. She was still sick (!), so I gave her some medicine for the 5th time.

Kiki flips as she takes her medicine.She’s lucky I like her so much. I wouldn’t buy medicine five times for just any villager. 😛
