Today is Christmas Eve in the real world, but not in Wild World. Sadly, ACWW is different from other Animal Crossing games in that respect. But I did receive a letter from “Mom” in the mail today, and she mentioned that the holidays were here. She enclosed a red boom box to the letter. I guess that’s my present. 😛
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.
He told me that his attempt to get over his fear of bugs is failing; he even fainted after looking at his bug book. He’s really struggling with this, and I kind of feel sad for the guy. The other Animal Crossing games never made me feel anything about Blathers other than annoyance that he talks so much.
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.
In the museum, Blathers had some different dialogue today. He kept rambling about how he’s afraid of bugs, and how he thinks butterflies’ bellies are waiting to spew something at him.
I went down to the Roost to catch some live music, and K.K. performed a familiar song for me: DJ K.K.
I found the snowman I built last time, and he seems to have lost some weight. And height. He’s a tiny little guy now!
I rolled up today’s snowballs and built another snowman not far from my old one. And unlike my first one, this one said he’s perfect!
Of course the first one still sent me a gift, so maybe he was perfect too (but just didn’t explicitly state that fact). Regardless, I know for sure this one will be sending me a gift in the mail.
I know my house is still disorganized and has a random assortment of items. Eventually, I’ll probably come up with some ideas for it. But I’m still early in the game (relatively speaking), so it’ll take some time to build up a decent sized catalog of items.
