Wolf Scared Cat Out

Yesterday, I found a new house in town, and Wolfgang was inside! I most recently had him in my City Folk town, earlier this year.

Wolfgang: Whoa! I've never seen your mug before. You new here, snarrrl?

Back outside, I listened in on an interesting conversation between Butch and Peanut. Peanut said that she will never go to a tropical island until she has mended her broken heart (by staring out at the sea and eating chocolate).

Peanut: I've got to stare out to sea and mend my broken heart.

Butch accused Peanut of stealing those lines from a cheesy pop song. And then he suggested that Peanut should get her head checked out by Dr. Shrunk. 😛

Butch: You ever thought about getting your head checked by Dr. Shrunk?
Is he going to heal her with bad jokes?

Saharah was in town, and I helped her out big-time: I made deliveries to Tom Nook, Blathers, and Pelly. Saharah let me pick a blue tarp or tropical floor for my reward, and I chose the latter.

Saharah: Ah, yes! That is very rare! Take good care of it, friend! Many thanks again!

Deena’s illness is showing no signs of letting up. I gave her some more medicine yesterday, and then again today. Hope you can get rid of that funky cold, Deena!

Even though Wolfgang just arrived in town yesterday, I already have someone on the way out today: Olivia. She was all packed up, and I decided to let her leave this time. She’s been in town for over a year, and that’s longer than I thought I’d ever keep her. 😛

Olivia: In my litterbox! Welcome to casa de Olivia!

Did Wolfgang’s arrival scare her off? We may never know the truth. 😛

Snake Out

Yesterday, Snake was all packed up and ready to move out of town. I thought about it briefly, and I decided to let him go. He’s had a nice, nearly eight-month stay here in Forest, so he’s free to slither off to another dojo.

Snake: Don't ever forget me, man! You hear me? Never forget! Peace, bunyip!

Olivia was telling me about a weird new restaurant where they serve java-flavored ravioli.

Olivia: They serve java-flavored salmon ravioli...

She said she’d be happy to go with me there…if I paid. 😛

Deena has still been sick with a cold, so I gave her some more medicine yesterday, and then again today.

I received Snake’s goodbye letter in the mail today.

Hoo-ha, Jeff, I'm moving. I have my reasons. No worries, yo! I'm sure you'll remember me fondly. Keep pumpin'! See ya! -From Snake

Olivia was trying to teach me the difference between love and affection today. She said love is tomato soup, and affection is bananas Foster. So she said she’d rather have a lot of tomato soup…or tomato soup. 😕

Olivia: I'd rather have a lot of tomato soup or tomato soup.

And if that wasn’t confusing enough, she then told me to remember it’s a lie. 😛

Olivia: Remember that, it's a lie!

Bob asked me to make a delivery to Butch, and of course I helped out my two favorite villagers. After handing Butch the letter, Butch was surprised that I actually got off my rear to deliver it!

Butch: And you actually got off your rear to deliver the letter?
Excuse me? My rear? What about Bob?

Bob then rewarded me with a haz-mat barrel. I appreciate the gesture, but it may be a sign of a toxic relationship. âš 

See you next week!

Wild Fireworks 2022

On Monday, Wishy sent me my latest reward for wishing on a star: a kiddie stereo. Getting that letter must have distracted me, because I forgot to go stand by the gate after starting up the game. As a result, a UFO flew by, long before I had a chance to get my slingshot out. Oops.

Yesterday, Nookington’s had a spotlight product: I bought the lovely kitchen, if only for catalog purposes.

Timmy: You have a keen eye! That's our spotlight product...the lovely kitchen!

I spotted a scorpion outside, and fortunately I wasn’t holding my net at the time. So I was able to retreat, get my net out, and catch the creepy critter!

I caught a scorpion! But he didn't catch me!

Selling it, along with some other bugs I caught, helped my account balance reach five million bells!

Pelly: The current bell balance is 5,000,000.

And then tonight, the fireworks festival was underway.

Fireworks light up the sky during the fireworks festival in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Bob was hoping that the booms of the fireworks would cover up the sounds of his stomach grumbling.

Bob: <GRUMBLE...> Oh, oops! That was my belly doing the rumbling.

Even Tortimer got out of his coffin chair for the event. He handed me a sparkler so that I could participate in some small way.

Tortimer: Tonight, Forest will have a fireworks show. So please take this, sprout.

I made some more good catches under the fireworks-lit sky, including a rainbow stag and a blue marlin.

I caught a blue marlin! Why so blue, marlin?

Deena was sick with a cold today, so I gave her some medicine. Get well soon!

See you all next time!
