Winter has arrived now, with snow covering the trees and ground. Except for the many dirt spots all over town, of course. Snowballs (for making snowmen) have also started appearing.
I saw Chevre walking around, so I was a bit relieved to see that she didn’t move out. She didn’t have anything interesting to say tonight, though.
I made sure to check the bulletin board for the new message of the week, and it did not disappoint.
I ran into Pudge outside of the museum, and he asked if I wanted to buy his plaster wall for 1,180 bells. After I told him that was too much, he gave it to me for free. I was grateful, but only for a moment. Until he called me scary, that is. What do you mean by that?!
Puddles was also nearby, and she wasn’t being any nicer than Pudge. She was making fun of me for being poor, and she joked that I would be her best friend if she gave me one bell.
I tried making a snowman, but I wasn’t having much success. Twice, I (apparently) crashed or otherwise destroyed snowballs behind trees. But I eventually found two of them fairly close together, and I was able to make a snowman. But, it was facing the back of Baabara’s house. Hopefully there’s not a window back there.
I found three fossils on my walk around town tonight. I think the snow makes buried items easier to see. Two of the fossils were donated to the museum, while the other one was returned to me.
I then made a 25,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall before ending my game for the night. See you again on Saturday!
While I was at the bulletin board, I decided to glance at the some of the other posts on there. And I’m glad I did. Many of these posts are entertaining, and even funny. Here’s a poem about eating:
And this message seems to have been written by whoever buries all these pitfall seeds around town. Phyllis, is that you?
These “messages of the week” and other posts are one thing that Wild World does better than any other Animal Crossing games. There may not be a bird that tells you when a new message has been posted like in City Folk and New Leaf, and there may not be clues to buried NES games and other gifts like on GameCube. But for sheer entertainment value, you can’t beat random messages like this.
I’ll have to remember to check the bulletin board more often.
When I visited Chevre, I saw that she was all packed up in boxes! She said there was a family crisis of some sort.
I kept talking to her repeatedly, telling her not to leave. And eventually, she agreed to stay. Kind of. I guess we’ll see.
I found two more fossils tonight, and I donated both of them to the museum. The store was already closed, so I couldn’t sell anything. I’ll have to do that (and make a mortgage payment) next time. See you then!
I had a chat with Bill, and he asked if bigger is better when it comes to houses. I said yes, and that pleased him. He said if I called the shots around here, Forest would be big-time. Hmm, good idea. Maybe I’ll even be the mayor some day! 😉
I found two fossils in town tonight, but the museum already had both of them. It was a pretty uneventful night overall, but I’ll back again on Saturday with more. Hope to see you then.
