Go, Roscoe!

On Wednesday, I was caught off guard when I walked into Peanut’s house. She thanked me for coming…that meant it was her birthday, and I completely forgot! 😮

Peanut: Oh, it's sunshine! Yaaaaay! You came!

I didn’t have any furniture to give her as a present, so I was a bit worried. But I did have an eel I just caught, so I gave her that. I was very relieved when she seemed to like the slippery gift.

Peanut: Sunshine, how'd you know I really wanted an eel?!

So she thanked me by giving me a cow skull. Wait, was she being sarcastic about wanting the eel?? 😛

Tonight, a flying saucer flew overhead! I was ready for it, and I promptly shot it down. Gulliver was surprisingly happy to see me. 😛

Gulliver: Are you surprised? So am I! It's a rare treat to meet a being from another planet!

He asked me to gather up his UFO parts for him, and of course I did. In return, he gave me some chocolates. Unfortunately, that’s another duplicate item that I’ve already earned before. 🍫

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

Roscoe was all packed up and ready to move away…

Roscoe: Hey, sunshine. I wasn't gonna tell anyone, but... I'm leaving Forest.

…and I decided to let him go. I don’t dislike him or anything (and I’ve actually saved him from moving a couple times before, though I may not have mentioned it in the blog). But I wouldn’t mind getting another new villager in town, so Roscoe can gallop off into the sunset. He had a good seven months in Forest, and that was long enough for me. 😛

Later, I found a free ranch couch in the recycle bin at town hall.

Muscle Insurance, New Goose

Yesterday, I was surprised to find a goodbye letter from Cyrano in the mail. He left without warning.

To Jeff, Finally! I picked up and left Forest! I was so tired of this stink hole! Anyway, come visit, OK? Don't cry. -Cyrano

I generally like Cyrano, but I’m not upset that he left. Especially since he insulted my town on the way out.

Snake told me that someone approached him recently, asking if he wanted to insure his muscles!

Snake: Just the other day, this dude came by and said Want to insure your muscles?

He said no, and Peanut later told him that it was a scam. I think it’s safe to assume he’s talking about Lyle, even though he didn’t mention him by name.

It was raining in town tonight, and Snake assure me that he’s not scared by the “savage drops of night rain.” 😂

Snake: Hey, hey! The savage drops of night rain don't scare me!
Then what exactly makes them savage?

I found Pascal near the sea, and I spoke with him. He told me not to insult anyone while they’re chopping wood. I guess that’s because they’d be holding an axe?

Pascal: If you're going to insult someone, don't do it when they're chopping wood.

He gave me a ship compass before jumping into the water.

After Cyrano’s departure, Forest didn’t have a vacancy for long. Goose already moved in today!

Goose: Hey, pleased ta meetcha! I'm Goose! Who are you, buh-kay?

Goose isn’t a bad chicken to have around. He’s not one of my favorites, but he’s not someone I hate either. Welcome to town, rooster.

Gull With No Name

Yesterday, Peanut wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a horse mackerel first. Since that’s a common fish, I was up to the challenge.

Peanut: Ah, to find the perfect horse mackerel... That would be DREAMY...

It took me a few minutes of fishing, but I did catch the horse mackerel. When I took it over to Peanut, she admitted defeat and gave me a stone tile as my prize.

Hugh wanted to give me a new nickname, and he called me J-bot! I remember first hearing that nickname in City Folk, and I’ve always liked it. 🤖

Hugh, giving me a new nickname: Yeah! It's J-bot. Isn't it just perfect, nay?

Shortly after midnight, I wished on a shooting star. Today, a letter from Wishy arrived in the mail; he sent me a sleeping bag. 😴

I spotted something else up in the sky today: Gulliver’s UFO! I shot it down, and then spoke to the pilot…who couldn’t remember his name. 😛

Gulliver: My name is...is... Wait a minute... I can't remember my name!

After I reminded him who he was (his name is supposedly embroidered on his space suit), he asked me to find the missing parts of his UFO.

When I ran into Peanut, she mentioned the fish I caught for her yesterday: She said since putting it in her room, she feels like a pretty underwater creature. 😂

Peanut: Ever since I put fish in my room, I feel like a pretty underwater creature!

It took me a long time to find the 5th UFO part. But once I did track it down, I returned all the parts to Gulliver. He rewarded me by giving me a Tower of Pisa. Unfortunately, that’s another duplicate item (my third Tower of Pisa, to be exact). It may still take me years to complete my collection of Gulliver items. 😣

Have a good weekend! See you next week!
