Moon from the Stars

Snow now covers the ground in Wild World (and the other Animal Crossing games as well). It’s a pretty time of year, although I know we’ll all be sick of the snow in a month or so. 😆

On Wednesday, Truffles interrupted me as I was hitting the money rock. She prevented me from getting the full payout!

Truffles: So you wanna chat with me some more, right? Yeah, I like chatting with me, too!
You just cost me a few thousand bells!

Caroline told me that she’s (finally) over her cold, and she thanked me for the medicine by giving me a concrete wall. This will surely help us cement our friendship. 😛

After I came out of Whitney’s house, a shooting star flew overhead! Fortunately, I was able to wish on it before it zoomed out of sight.

The next day, I received a letter from Wishy in the mail. He sent me the moon! That’s a pretty big gift! I wonder how much he had to pay for shipping…the cost must’ve been astronomical! In fact, I’m sure it eclipses any shipping cost I’ve ever observed! 🌚

Tank was talking about pouring some miso soup over pear salad, and he asked what I thought of that. A slider popped up with the two extreme options being “So good!” and “Awful!” I moved it just a tiny bit below the midpoint, and Tank became furious at me.

Tank: Oh, c'mon! Come down off your snobby horse and try something unique!
Sorry, I’m not feeling soup-er adventurous today.

Filbert asked me for a fossil, so I gave him a fern fossil that I dug up. He was happy with it, and he rewarded me with a plaza wall.

Today, Mom sent me a letter about drinking cocoa around the holidays. She also sent me an apple, which is a foreign fruit. But it’s also a fruit I already had, so it wasn’t super useful. But still, it is nice to be able to get foreign fruit this way.

Drift jokingly wondered if Curt and Filbert could be brothers. Yeah, I don’t think so. 😛

Drift: Wouldn't it be funny if Curt and Filbert turned out to be brothers?
Come on, they bearly look related.

When I visited Filbert, he was still talking about the fossil I gave him yesterday. He said he was so excited that he couldn’t help but dance!

Filbert: I'm so excited that I can't help but dance! Shake it! Woot!

See, now this is the true reward that makes favors worthwhile, not the crummy wallpapers they give. 😆

Bones told me he’d love it if it would snow year-round! I strongly disagree with him about that.

Bones: It sure would be fun if it snowed all year long, for a bite!
For a bite? Yeah, frostbite maybe.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I’ll be back again next week.

Telling Gulliver No

On Wednesday, I received my monthly bank statement from town hall. I received 68,500 bells in interest this month. The amount grows a little bit each month.

I shot down Gulliver’s UFO, and I went over to meet him. But when he asked me for help recovering his UFO parts, I said no! I wanted to see how he’d respond, and he didn’t disappoint. First, he said he must’ve misunderstood me…

Gulliver: The language of your people baffles my foreign ears! I think I misunderstood you.

And then he asked again, while also insulting my intelligence. 😆 As you’d expect, this part just loops back if you say no again.

Gulliver: I shall ask you again, using simpler words your alien mind can understand.

As I searched for the missing parts, I stumbled onto this cool view of the UFO from across the river, during sunset.

Truffles asked me to deliver a letter to Curt, and I agreed to help out. Curt enjoyed the letter, and he said Truffles isn’t all that bad!

Curt: That Truffles isn't all that bad, fuzzball.
I disagree.

But then as soon as he said it, he turned around and walked right into a pitfall! 😆 I didn’t push him, and it wasn’t even my pitfall! He saved me the trouble by doing it to himself! 😆

I returned to Truffles, and she thanked me…but she didn’t give me a reward. My pockets were full, unfortunately. (And she never mailed me a reward, either!)

Once I found all of the UFO parts, Gulliver rewarded me with another compass.

Yesterday, Whitney asked me what I thought about her outfit. I said it made her look like a rock star, and she agreed. She said the outfit was a keeper.

Whitney: Tee hee! Yes, I am a rock goddess! This look is a keeper, snappy!

But just a few seconds later, she said she was in a clothes rut and needed to update her look!

Whitney: I think I need to update my look and get more clothes, snappy!

Today, Tank was looking forward to the next flea market. He was trying to think of all the wonderful products he could sell.

Tank: Shabby shirts, sweaty rags, and too-tight pants...
Tank: Man, I have SO much stuff to sell, yip yip!

Remind me not to shop at Tank’s house next time. 😛

Caroline has still been sick with a cold, so I gave her more medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and today. Hopefully she’ll be over this cold soon, because this is dragging on too long.

I posted my latest Wild World video today, episode 72. It covers highlights of the past three weeks or so, through yesterday. I hope you’ll check it out!

Enjoy your weekend!

First Flurries

On Wednesday, Forest had its first snow flurries of the season. Whitney the white wolf welcomed the winter weather, saying the cold air feels like it’s scrubbing her insides clean. That’s a weird way of wording that. 😛

Whitney: When you breathe it in, it feels like it's scrubbing your insides clean!

When I spoke with Filbert, he told me that he left some sparkling cider outside overnight. But when he found it in the morning, it had turned into sherbet!

Filbert: And it turned into sherbet! Huh huh huh! I'm so happy! It's delicious, yip yip!

He was so happy about that…until he asked me to catch a black bass for him and I declined. He was bummed out then. Sorry, squirrel.

Yesterday, Curt was already trying to move out of town! He’s only lived in town for two weeks! Even though I don’t care for Curt much, I don’t like letting anyone move out after just two weeks. (Well, unless it’s someone I really hate, like Jambette or Yuka.)

Filbert told me that he’s the undisputed champ of figure skating. Well, the undisputed champ of watching figure skating on TV. 😉

Filbert: When it comes to watching it on TV...well, I'm the undisputed champ!

Tonight, Bones asked me to make a delivery to Truffles…for a bite. That’s his new catchphrase, which I mentioned last week.

Bones: Come on, champ, can't you deliver it for me, for a bite?
A bite of food? Or are you going to bite me?

I took it over to Truffles, and the gift was a bold check shirt. Truffles called it a “safe” choice, despite the shirt’s claim of being bold. 😛 When I returned to Bones, he rewarded me with some old flooring. Fortunately, no bites were bitten. 😛

I headed over to the Roost in the museum, and K.K. Slider performed “K.K. Technopop” for me. It’s a pretty boring song when sung live.

After the show, I visited Caroline. She’s sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine.

By contrast, Whitney was feeling really good. In fact, she thinks she’s going to start playing lacrosse! That was random, but sure. Good luck with it, Whitney!

Whitney: It's been a while since I've worked out, y'know. Maybe I'll try lacrosse.

Does she realize it’s a team sport, though? She’s more of a lone wolf. 😉

See you all next week!
