When I spoke with Kiki tonight, she invited me to see the fireworks on New Year’s Eve. I think I’ll do just that. 🙂
I also had a little chat with Bill. Kiki and Bill both live near me, so I usually see them before I see other villagers. But not only did Bill call me a dumbbell again, but he also got mad at the way I answered his pop quiz about how ripe of a banana he is.
So I took the rotten, mushy banana peel known as Bill and buried that trash in the ground.
Well, I found the money rock that I never tracked down last time. And I know why I had trouble finding it: It’s hidden behind a tree. In fact, I only got a couple of money bags from it this time because I didn’t realize money came out after the first hit. So I went into Nookway, bought an axe, and then cut that tree down. Timber!
Gracie was parked outside of town hall. She gave me a quiz to see if I could earn her Fashionista Badge, and I apparently did quite well this time. I even got a drumroll out of her.
She handed me a certificate which called me a true fashionista! Did I really just ace her quiz on only my 2nd try?
Even though the paper is called a certificate, Gracie refers to it as the Fashionista Badge. I was expecting the fashionista badge to be a physical badge, but I’ll certainly accept the award regardless.
In case this helps anyone trying to complete Gracie’s fashion pop quiz, I’ll post each of her questions along with my answers (in bold print). Of course I was just trying to say what I thought she wanted to hear, but that strategy worked!
- People who won’t settle for anything but designer labels… Have standards.
- Honey, I just heard someone say, “That kid is the new hotness!” What do you think of that? Me?
- You hit up a hot sale. You only have time to run for one area. Where do you go? Shoes.
- When is it appropriate to sport legwarmers? Never!
- What’s your greatest asset? Long legs!
Afterwards, she offered to sell me an outfit. I got to choose how much to pay, and I went with 2,250 bells. She gave me a grape shirt and some funky glasses. I kept the shirt on, but ditched the glasses.
In the museum, Blathers had more new dialogue for me. He told me he plans to take Celeste camping once the summer comes. He feels bad for all the scenes he’s created by getting scared over insects. Hopefully the camping trip will go well.
I found Chevre packed up and planning on moving out of town once again. I kept speaking to her until she told me she would consider sticking around.
That’s all for now, but I’ll be back late on Saturday night (technically Sunday morning) with my blog entry for New Year’s Eve. Hope to see you then!
Update: Here is a video showing me earning the fashionista badge from Gracie.
It was snowing in town tonight, and Kiki commented on how the world seems quieter when it’s snowing.
Static seems to be the town grinch. Apparently just saying hello to him makes him angry. Lighten up, man.
Poor Pudge was still sick. Being sick is never fun, but being sick during the holidays is the worst. I bought some medicine for him; I hope he starts feeling better soon.
If there’s one thing Wild World does right, it’s giving backstory on some of the special characters. Even though Sable’s interesting dialogue has now been reduced to commenting on the day of the week, I’m now continuing to hear more about Blathers.
After having him identify two fossils, I went downstairs to the Roost. K.K. performed Surfin’ K.K. for me. I actually enjoyed the song more than I expected.
Remember how I said Static was the town grinch? Well, Bill is even worse than a grinch. Since it’s Christmas Eve, I’ll try to say it as nicely as I can: He’s a jerk. He decided to give me a new nickname: Dumbbell! I wanted to grab a NES Zapper and go Duck Hunting.
For the first time , I failed to find the money rock today. I guess I could have spent more time looking for it, but I had a lot to do with it being Christmas Eve. Speaking of which, I hope you all have a great Christmas and holiday season! I’ll see you all next time!
In Able Sisters, I decided to buy this one-way tee. I was due for a change of clothes anyway.
Katrina had a tent set up outside of town hall, so I went inside and paid her 100 bells to tell my fortune. She said a shooting star caused a lost camel to second-guess itself. So how does that affect me? She said it may mean nothing…or everything.
Pudge was still sick with a cold, and this time I was able to buy some medicine for him. Get well soon!
At the museum, Blathers told me how he’s trying to overcome his fear of bugs. He got out his dictionary of insects and he runs his talon over each picture, as he tries not to retch.
I donated a mammoth torso fossil, and that completed the mammoth on display! The museum is slowly, but surely, coming together.
Back outside, I ran into Puddles. She wanted a new greeting, so I told her to say Captain Froggy. Her reaction was stronger than I expected.
