Pudge Packed

Baabara asked me to make a delivery to Rod tonight, and I agreed to help (for Rod’s sake, not Baabara’s). When I took him the gift, he was already holding a net in one hand. So how did he open the package? He seemed to shatter it using mind control!

Yikes, I better not mess with this guy! I don’t want him shattering my package!

The gift was a scale armor suit, and Rod put it on right away. On my way back to Baabara, Static also asked me for a favor. He wanted me to deliver a letter to Kiki. Don’t these animals know that the post office is open 24 hours a day?

Anyway, Baabara thanked me for the help by giving me an apple clock. I then went to Kiki’s house and gave her the letter from Static. Surprisingly, she actually showed me the letter!

What's up, Kiki? Ugh. this day is stupid. I wish I was still in bed. Rockabilly would be cool for the town tune! -Laters! StaticStatic gave me an exquisite rug to thank me for making the delivery.

When I entered Pudge’s house, I saw that he had all his furniture packed up in boxes. He’s moving out of town, and I did not try to stop him.

Pudge: I know this is sudden, but I've decided to move away. Don't try to stop me.Chevre and Puddles were both talking about the Happy Room Academy, and they were both upset that they’re not getting good home scores.

Puddles: AAAAAAAA! Why can't they see how totally awesome I am, splish?!I finally paid off the last 13,000 bells on my mortgage, and I celebrated outside of town hall.

ALL RIGHT!Tom Nook was shocked that I paid off the loan, but he was ready to expand my house again. He said I could add another floor now, and I had a choice between “Take me higher!” and “I hate heights!” I assume the latter option adds a basement instead, but I chose to go up. (Update: My mistake. There is no basement in Wild World).

Tom Nook: And built up! Let's add another floor! Of course, there would be a small fee.It will be finished tomorrow, although I won’t see it until I play again on Saturday. I’ll be back with more then. 🙂

Rod Moves In

Wishy the shooting star (who I wished upon last time) sent me a letter in the mail today. But Wishy referred to me as “Earthbound Jeff.” I’m pretty sure Earthbound Jeff is a different character altogether. 😉

Earthbound Jeff, I heard a special someone make a wish one night... It's my job to make that wish come true. -From Wishy the StarI found a jukebox attached to the letter; that’s not what I wished for! 😛

I also received a letter from the Snowman (he sent me a snowman wall) and, more surprisingly, a letter from Tom Nook. It said I’ve earned 300 points, so I am now a member. But I don’t want to be Nook’s member! A model of Nook’s Cranny was enclosed. Here’s a look at my new items:

Kiki: It's a lot harder to find a cockroach than I'd thought.She’s starting to think she’ll never find one…just like a boyfriend.

Kiki: Sort of like a boyfriend...

There was a new house in town, so I went in to meet my new villager. Inside, I found Rod the mouse. I’ve had him in ACCF before, so I’m quite familiar with him.

Rod: Hey, pleased to meetcha! I'm Rod!I visited Yuka, and she was making all sorts of noises. How disgusting.

Yuka: KAAAAAK! HRACK! HRAAAAAACK! I can't believe I'm making these sounds!
Cover your mouth please, before you get someone sick.

I found two fossils tonight, and one of them was new to the museum. In fact, it completed the seismosaur.

Several of my villagers reminded me that Yay Day is tomorrow, but I probably won’t participate this time. Yay Day wasn’t all that exciting to me.

Even though I started up the game before the shop closed today, I got distracted by a basketball game on TV. 😛 So I didn’t earn enough money to pay off my mortgage this time. But I’ll definitely be able to do it next time, just with the bells I earn from the money rock. Have a good day, and I’ll see you all next time. 🙂

Wishing on a Shooting Star

I found today’s snowballs pretty close to each other, so I decided I should make a snowman. But as I was rolling the snowballs to build them up, I spotted a shooting star up in the sky. There’s a meteor shower tonight!

So I wished upon the star. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a shooting star in Wild World, but it is the first time I’ve successfully made a wish.

I then continued rolling the snowballs to build the snowman. He was perfect, so he’ll be sending me a gift in the mail. But was he unhappy about one thing: He couldn’t see a snowlady anywhere around. Sorry, but you’re all alone here. *cold chill*

Snowman: Y'know, I'm a good-looking snowman, but there's not a snowlady in sight...I found a note in a bottle down on the beach, and it was a description of what Heather Smith did on her summer vacation. Of course, this game doesn’t have any online connectivity, so this had to have been put into the game by Nintendo. Is it based on a real person (perhaps a relative of a Nintendo employee) or is it completely bogus? We may never know.

My Summer Vacation: This summer I planted lots of peaches and went fishing a lot. I caught two fish. It was fun. -Heather Smith, Grade 3Gracie was standing near her car outside of town hall tonight, and I had a quick chat with her. She was asking if I came to try for a fashionista badge, but I said no. I’ve already earned mine, so I didn’t bother sticking my neck out to try again.

Gracie: Honey, i know you're here to get your Fashionista Badge! (Me: Buh-bye now.)

Static asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “tsk tsk” (which he got from Yuka–what a bad influence she is). So I told him to say “unlike you.” It’s a phrase I’ve used before in other Animal Crossing games, and it can result in some funny sentences.

Static: Sounds kinda tough, right? SPEED-WALKING! Serious stuff, unlike you.Pudge asked me for a fossil, so I gave him one that Blathers just identified for me. Pudge was standing behind Gracie near town hall, and he was impressed with the mammoth skull.

Pudge, standing behind Gracie: Whoa! Neat! Look at that mammoth skull! Pudgy!
Yeah, Gracie’s head is pretty big.

He only gave me a floral wall in return, which is a pretty disappointing trade for a large fossil.

I then went inside of town hall to make a mortgage payment. I was able to pay 30,000 bells this time, and I only owe 13,000 more! Hopefully I’ll be able to pay that off on Saturday (if I remember to play before Nook’s store closes, at least). I hope to see you then!

Update: Just because I’m weird, I made this GIF:
