A Note on the Beach

As I was walking around town tonight, I saw Kiki fall into a pitfall! Despite the shovel in my hands at the time, I didn’t plant it there! Poor Kiki.

Kiki falls into a pitfall.But for better or worse, animals don’t seem to be mad after falling into a pitfall in this game.

When I visited Biskit, I found all his furniture was packed up in boxes. A lot of boxes! I don’t know if I’ve seen a villager have this many boxes before! That’s a lot of dog biscuits!

Biskit, packed up in boxes: Whoa there, Jeff!He was about to move out of town, of course, but I told him not to go. So far, everyone has stayed when I’ve asked them to. Hopefully that trend will continue; I like the guy.

Since it’s Saturday night and my music collection is still very small, I headed to the Roost to enjoy some live music. K.K. played Neapolitan for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Neapolitan!Back outside, I saw something I definitely was not expecting: A note in a bottle on the beach!

A note in a bottle washed up on the beach.I got excited for a moment. How was this possible? But I was disappointed to find that it was just an advertisement from Lyle.

This special offer is just for you! Sign up now before it's too late! Don't be fooled by imitations! -Your insurance agent, LyleI visited Baabara, and she told me that Sunday is Yay Day. That’s tomorrow? I guess I’ll have to check it out. Baabara warned me to choose my words carefully.

Baabara: This Sunday is Yay Day, you know, daahling! Choose your words carefully.When I went to see Puddles, she was talking about how lost items should be taken to Booker. But she hinted that she might keep a lost item if it was valuable and no one was around.

Puddles: But I might keep it if nobody was around and it was worth tons of bells...
How can I convince you to never make that face again?

I actually found three fossils in town tonight, which is better than I usually do. I donated one of them to the museum, but the other two were duplicates. The store was closed though, so I couldn’t sell them yet.

After doing a little fishing, I wrapped up my night in Forest. I’ll be back tomorrow as I experience my first Yay Day. Hope to see you then!

Nookway Opens

My first palm tree is full-sized and all grown up now. *sniff* It has even grown a pair of coconuts.

My first coconut tree, all grown up.I found another coconut washed up on the beach, and I planted it further east. I also caught a zebra turkeyfish, which I donated to the museum.

When I went over to the store, I saw something new: Nookway! Apparently Nook ‘n’ Go has Nook ‘n’ Went.

I wonder why part of the “k” in Nookway is yellow, while the rest of the word is blue?

Nookway is large inside, with five furniture items on sale, along with aisles for wallpaper, carpeting, stationery, tools, and more.

The inside of Nookway in Animal Crossing: Wild World.I headed over to Able Sisters next, and Sable once again had a lengthy story to tell me. Apparently their father bought some marbles for Mabel one time, and Sable was upset that she didn’t get any. Their father said Sable was too old for toys. After crying for a while, she took Mabel’s marbles.

Sable: Without thinking about it, I snatched away all of Mabel's marbles.Mabel started crying, their dad got furious, and Sable ran outdoors without shoes on. Mable then switched to another story about how her mother helped calm them and made them feel special.

Sable: So, even when work is at its worst, I'm fine because my claws are special.Sable: They hold Mother's love inside of them...Back outside, I ran into Wendell the walrus. He was starving, so I gave him a crucian carp that I caught in the river.

Wendell: I'm back from the brink! Thuh-thank you so much! Sweet, sweet food!
You’re going to be wal-right now.

Even though that was a different fish from what I gave him last time (a barbel steed), he still gave me the same design as my reward: the road 4 pattern.

Baabara showed me a letter she received, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Of all the ways I pick on Baabara, I never thought to make fun of her earlobes! Great idea! 😀

Dearest Baabara, Your earlobes are like fresh, plump grapes in a royal fruit salad. Seedless, of course. -Your Secret Admirer
The start of a juicy rumor.

I found a new house in town, and Puddles the frog was inside. Welcome to Forest, Puddles!

Puddles: Jeff? Aha! I knew it! I knew you'd have a cool name! I'm Puddles!I went over to the post office to make a mortgage payment (25,000 bells again) and check the recycle bin (empty).

And when I ran into Biskit, he showed me a strange letter that he received from a “Helpful Hint Guy.” Wow, what a great tip.

Tip of the day: When someone asks a question and you don't know the answer, just yell 'Figure it out!' -Helpful Hint GuyI then returned home and wrapped up my night. See you all next time!

Go Hug Yourself

I played shortly before Nook ‘n’ Go closed tonight, and I bought myself a sphinx for 3,200 bells. It’s not very detailed at all in Wild World, and it doesn’t look quite right. But I still put it in my house for the time being.

In Able Sisters, Sable continued her newfound chattiness with a story about a zit. Her current pimple reminded her of a story from when she was younger. She said she had a big zit on the tip of her nose in one of the photos behind her, and she was really distressed by it. But her mom got the photographer to erase it from the photo.

Sable: It's just that... Well, I have this whopper of a zit on my nose...I’m just surprised she has so many stories to tell.

The coconut I planted last time has survived! It’s still small, but it’s doing well. Say hello to my first coconut tree!

My first coconut tree.
Actually it doesn’t talk, so you don’t need to say hello to it.

When I visited Static, he got defensive for some reason. He said people think he doesn’t have any friends, but he’s friends with Chevre. Okay…

Static: Got that? I'm not alone! You heard me! NOT ALONE! PEOPLE LIKE ME!Since it’s Saturday night, I made sure to visit the Roost for some live music. I let K.K. choose the song, and he played Imperial K.K. for me.

K.K. performs some live music for me.Biskit asked me to deliver a letter to Chevre within ten minutes. I agreed to do it.

Biskit: If you could do it in the next 10 minutes, that would be great.
The time limit is ruff, but I’ll try.

I quickly hunted down Chevre and handed her the letter. She didn’t read it out loud, but she did laugh as she read it to herself. She said the letter was wonderful and made her very happy. Then she told me to give Biskit a hug for her, and to hug myself too?

Chevre: Please give a big hug to Biskit, it'sa me. And give yourself one, too!When I returned to Biskit, he thanked me by giving me a tartan rug for my trouble.

Over by town hall, Kiki gave me a chain-gang shirt for free. I tried it on and decided to keep wearing it for a while. Kiki is so nice.

Kiki: I hope it brings you lots of happiness, kitty cat!I didn’t find any fossils in town today, which is unusual. Maybe I need to look in the daylight hours. But I did catch a couple of new fish for the museum, an olive flounder and a yellow perch.

Blathers: Indeed, these fish are available for perch-ase all over the world, wot!After that, I returned home. I put my new song in my stereo and then went up to bed. See you next time!
