Big Top the Romantic

I found a new house in town tonight, and I was surprised to find out who was inside: Big Top the superhero elephant! I like Big Top a lot, and as some of you already know, I also have him in my New Leaf town. But here, he says everyone calls him Big Top the Romantic. That “everyone” will not include me. 😛

Big Top: Huh huh huh! That's why everyone calls me "Big Top the Romantic."Kiki was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her.

Kiki: I feel better! I... I can feel my toes again!Rod has been asking me for a cockroach for weeks. But the first one I caught (last week) got donated to the museum. So when I finally saw another one on a tree tonight, I knew I had to catch it for Rod.

Rod: What?! You caught one already? That's insane!He was quite happy with it, and he rewarded me by giving me 510 bells.

K.K. Slider was in town, and I attended his show to hear some live music. He performed K.K. Parade for me.

K.K.: I hooked you up with a boot of K.K. Parade.

But K.K. wasn’t the only animal in town that wants a singing career: Puddles told me she wants to put on some live shows too.

Puddles: Y'know, I'm trying to give my singing career a boost with a few live shows.I only found one fossil again today; I took it to the museum and Blathers returned it to me. Then at town hall, I made a 20,000 bell mortgage payment before returning home for the night.

Help Me Help You

Gracie was over at town hall today, along with her car. But I didn’t bother speaking to her this time.

Gracie stands near her car outside of town hall in Animal Crossing: Wild World.A new message of the week on the bulletin board said that exercise relieves stress, but nothing relieves exercise. 😛

*Message of the Week* Exercise relieves stress. Nothing relieves exercise.When I had a chat with Chevre, she told me she was looking for some fossils.

Chevre: J-rock, you have to help me find a fossil! Pleeeeease, la baa!But when I returned with one, there was no option to give it to her! I even had an identified one and an unidentified one in my pockets! So I don’t know why she couldn’t tell I was trying to fulfill her request. Help me help you…

There was a bonfire for sale in Nookington’s tonight, and it was putting out a lot of smoke. The bonfires in other Animal Crossing games don’t smoke like this, so I was a bit surprised to see all the pollution. This doesn’t seem very healthy for Timmy and Tommy to be working up here.

Lots of smoke rises from a bonfire in Nookington's.Outside, Kiki asked me for a new catchphrase. I told her to say “ki ki ki,” which is a reference to another Nintendo character named Kiki. (It’s a monkey from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past).

Kiki: Ki ki ki! I like the sound of that. It makes me sound...dignified.
Yes. As dignified as a greedy monkey.

Kiki also asked me to deliver a letter to Rod for her. I did, and then when I returned to her, Kiki gave me a plaster wall as thanks.

Moe’s replacement has not moved into town yet, so there are still just seven animal villagers.

I made a 20,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall, and then I wrapped up my game for the night.

Moe Stole

I got Moe’s goodbye letter in the mail today. It contained a surprising confession: He told me took a tile from the town hall plaza! Wow! You’re lucky I’m not the mayor. 😛

Oh, by the way, Jeff, Oh, hey! When I moved out of Forest, I took a tile from the plaza... Was Tortimer mad? I'm nervous! -Moe
I guess this makes Moe a cat burglar.

Today was La-Di-Day once again, and Puddles was telling me how it’s so hard being a chart-topping pop star. I think she’s been drinking a little too much swamp water.

Puddles: Sometimes it's hard being a chart-topping pop star, you know.Rod sang a tune for me, and it sounded familiar. I think I’ve had it before, in one Animal Crossing game or another. I hired him, so his song became the new town tune.

Rod: Rock time, J-rock! You ready to listen to my sweet muscle song?Outside, Static told me his song was a manly country ballad…unlike me. He didn’t actually sing it for me, but that was fine by me.

Static: Make sure you hear my song. It's a manly country ballad, unlike you!

La-Di-Day is actually a bit boring now. The novelty has worn off by now, and I’d rather not have the animals all talking about the same thing. This really doesn’t need to be an event that repeats every two months. Once or twice a year would’ve been plenty.

As I was looking for today’s money rock, I saw Baabara fall into a pitfall up near the museum. That’s always a nice sight to behold. 😀

Baabara struggles in a pitfall near the museum.Down in the Roost, I checked out a live musical performance of King K.K.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: King K.K.!I only found one fossil today, which has been the norm for me lately. The others must be well hidden behind something, or right along the grass/dirt lines where they often blend in.

I then wrapped up my night in Forest. Enjoy your La-Di-Day!
