100 Acorns

The Acorn Festival is underway this week, and I played today to check out the event. As expected, there are acorns everywhere, underneath many of the regular trees in town.

Acorns on the ground during the Acorn Festival in Animal Crossing: Wild World (ACWW).

The mysterious Cornimer was standing outside of town hall, and I started gathering acorns to give to him. He also gave me my acorn fortune for the year:

Your secret fortune: Medium Acorn. Life: Yes... I think. Hopes: Is it real? Karma: You're on track. Look behind you!

My villagers were also talking about the event nonstop. Wolfgang told me to unleash my mad acorn lust. I didn’t know there was such a thing.

Wolfgang: Unleash your mad acorn lust, you wild beast, you!

Wolfgang later suggested we could eat the acorns on some hot buttery bread. I think I’ll pass on that. Or maybe I could just eat the bread, and skip the acorns?

Wolfgang: Maybe we can eat 'em on bread? Y'know...hot, buttery bread?

Fortunately, I remembered that I had some acorns in storage from previous years. That gave me some extra ammo for Cornimer. Between those and the (non-rotten) acorns I found around town, I ended up with exactly 100 acorns!

Cornimer: The number of acorns you've given me is 100!

In all, Cornimer gave me seven pieces of mush furniture: A mush lamp, mush stool, mush end table, mush chair, mush closet, mush dresser, and a mush stand. I already have the full set in my house, so I sold all of these for a total of 15,600 bells.

Note: Drift’s birthday was on Monday, but I missed it. Oops.

Flea Market, Riddle

The flea market was held today, and I asked Drift about his mini drilloid. Unfortunately, he wanted 1,580 bells for it, so I didn’t buy it.

Drift: Whoa, what? No? You're missing out on some sweet sweat stains...

A riddle was posted to the bulletin board as the latest “Talking to Myself” post, and it’s about something that can be found in a garden pail.

-Talking to Myself- Today's daily riddle: Needs no shoes, has a tail, can be found in a garden pail. Oh! I forgot the answer!
A worm, perhaps? Let me know if you have a different answer!

When I visited Bones, I was intrigued by his dino droppings. 😆

Bones: Oh, are you looking at my dino droppings? Heh. I thought so.

I bought them for 1,100 bells, and Bones told me to treat them like one of my own children. 😆

Bones: Treat your new purchase like you would one of your own children, nutty!

At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed “Pondering” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Pondering!

After the concert, I checked the recycle bin at town hall. To my surprise, there was a cow skull in there! I wonder who put it there…and who the cow was. 😛 But I decided to just wrap up my game for the night.

The Acorn Festival is coming up next week! Hope to see you then!

Recycled Gift

Monday (September 25th) was Mitzi’s birthday, and I made sure to attend her party. I gave her a blue bench that I found in the recycle bin last week, and she seemed to enjoy it. She said she’ll treasure it forever…or until it breaks. 😆

Mitzi: I'll treasure this forever! Or until it breaks... Whichever comes first.
Does she know where I got it? 😉

Even though it was her birthday gift, Mitzi gave me a regal lamp in return. By the way, Peanut was the other friend at the party.

Peanut: Does this mean that Mitzi thinks we're equally important?!

Today, Jitters’s replacement moved in: It was Drift the red camouflaged frog. Years ago, I used to think Drift was ugly…but he has since grown on me. He’s pretty cool in my book.

Drift: Hey, nice to meetcha! I'm Drift!
Welcome to Forest. 🙂

Over by town hall, Bones and Dotty pinged me at the exact same instant.

Bones and Dotty both ping me at the same time.

I spoke with Bones first, and he offered to sell me a skull shirt for 380 bells. Since October is just around the corner, I thought it would be a good thing to wear for Halloween season.

Dotty had already forgotten whatever she was pinging me about, but I spoke with her anyway. She again asked me for new clothes, so I gave her the dawn shirt I had been wearing. She liked it, and she gave me 510 bells.

Dotty: Huh? You're giving me a dawn shirt? Truly, hulaaaa?

Eloise was sick with a cold this week, so I gave her some medicine Monday and yesterday. By today, she was feeling better, and she rewarded me with an exotic chair.
