Coffee-Flavored Gum

Just to follow up with last week’s post, I’ve confirmed that the safe can be re-ordered from the catalog…and for just 606 bells, too! Each safe can be exchanged for another of Tom Nook’s pics, so it’s not hard to get a replacement if you should ever destroy misplace it. 😛

By the way, if you have a safe in your pockets but refuse to give it to Tom Nook, he acts offended and says that he now views you as a competitor. 😂

Tom Nook: From now on, I can only think of you as a competitor!!!

Last Thursday, I shot down another UFO. One of the parts was right next to the UFO itself, which I don’t recall happening before.

A UFO part right next to the UFO.

After I gathered up the other parts, Gulliver gave me a Tower of Pisa. Unfortunately, that was another duplicate item.

Olivia was over her latest cold, and she thanked me for the medicine I’ve been taking her by giving me a mosaic wall.

At town hall, Phyllis had more gum-related dialogue. She revealed that she’s now chewing coffee-flavored gum. Even though I like coffee and I like gum, that combination doesn’t sound very good.

Phyllis: What? Oh... It's coffee-flavored gum.

But by Monday, Pelly and Phyllis were back to arguing about Pete. Even though Phyllis didn’t use his name, she referred to him as a “stupid little boy.”

Phyllis: But it's not me! It's that stupid little boy!

Today (Wednesday), Pascal was in town! So I grabbed one of my scallops and headed over to speak with him. I’ve already known that telling him you lost a golden axe gets you a golden axe, and saying “Uhh… what?” gets you his photo. But I didn’t know what happened when you said you lost a silver axe. So I chose that option, and…

Pascal: Maaannn, it really harshes me when I can tell you're lying...

He just says that he knows you’re lying, and he lets you answer the same question again. If you choose “silver axe” again, he just repeats the same response. So ultimately, you’re forced to choose a golden axe or his photo. So I opted for another golden axe.

I got the golden axe! This won't ever break!

So unlike most golden tools, you can get multiple golden axes. Even though the process is a bit complicated, it’s good to have the option if you should ever lose (or accidentally sell) the first one. But since Pascal swims away after talking to you, you can’t give him more than one scallop per visit.

Goldie has been sick, so I gave her some medicine Friday, Monday, yesterday, and today. Get well soon, Goldie!

At town hall, the pelican drama continued. Pelly told me she snapped at Phyllis, demanding Phyllis to butt out of Pelly’s business.

Pelly: I shouted at her, Phyllis! I know you're lonely because you don't have a love life!

By the way, even though I said last week that I don’t need to keep playing 4-5 times a week now, I still have been doing it. I really want to get those last two space items I need from Redd and Saharah!

See you all next time!

Sequence Complete

Saharah was in town yesterday, so I grabbed the turban I had waiting for her. When I handed it over, she gave me a red vase in return. That’s exactly what I was hoping for!

Saharah: That is a rare and valuable piece of art. It is called a red vase...

I spoke with her again to help her out; I delivered some carpet to Pelly and some wallpaper to Mabel. She then gave me some ringside seating as my reward.

At town hall, Pelly had some dialogue about Phyllis and her gum-chewing. Yes, Wild World actually has an extended storyline about gum. Such drama.

Pelly: Even long after the flavor is gone, she still keeps chewing it...

Phyllis swallows her gum, and Pelly is worried that Phyllis is going to be stopped up for seven years.

Pelly: I hate to be so indelicate, but at this rate, she's going to be blocked up...
I think you need a hobby.

As for the red vase, I didn’t have to wait long to pass it on. Crazy Redd was in town today (Tuesday), and I gave him the vase. In return, he gave me his safe!

Redd: And in exchange, I present you with the special Crazy Redd's safe!

The safe is black, and it lets you access your storage.

The safe in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Even though I wouldn’t mind keeping such a safe, this one still has another purpose: It’s meant to be given to Tom Nook. The shop was still open, so I headed over to Nookington’s right away. I gave it to Nook, and in return, he gave me his glamour shot.

Tom Nook: You'll never be able to get this any other way. It's my glamour shot!

Fortunately, the item is just called Tom Nook’s pic. I took it back to my house and put it on my snowman table…although I had to move Samson’s pic to storage because my room was too full. Nook’s favorite quote is “I’ll be there with bells on. Ho ho!” Apparently he thinks he’s Santa Claus.

The quote on Tom Nook's pic: I'll be there with bells on! Ho ho!

Now that I have Tom Nook’s pic, the golden axe, K.K.’s pic, and Pascal’s pic, I believe I am done with the trading sequence!

I do want to experiment a bit with Pascal’s options, but I already have two scallops waiting for him. So I may not continue playing 4-5 days a week like I have been for the last few months.

In other news: Olivia has been sick with a cold, or least that’s what she’s telling me. But I’m getting the impression that she might be lying for some reason. 😛

Olivia: AAACK! KARF! KARF! HAAACK! Oh, no! I think I'm catching a cold, it's a lie.
Karf karf?

So I gave her some medicine yesterday and then again today.

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Fish Trophy, Roscoe

On Monday, I received confirmation in the mail that I won the fishing tournament. 🙂

Master Reeler Jeff, All hail Jeff, the fishing champion! Your sea bass was an incredible 46.2 inches! November 21st Tourney

A fish trophy was attached to the letter, and I put it on my mush table…which has become my trophy table. I believe my trophy collection is now complete…and it’s nothing to sneeze at.

My bug trophy, flower trophy, fish trophy, and box of tissues on a mush table.

Outside, Bob was talking about the ways to hold a net. He said that Peanut holds a net in each hand…except that he called Peanut a “he,” not a “she.”

Bob: Peanut said he holds one net in each hand.

I gave Bunnie some more medicine on Monday, and she was all better by Tuesday. She thanked me for all the medicine by giving me a cabin rug.

Peanut asked me if I’ve seen a flea lately, and I said no. So she figured that maybe they’re out of season, and she blamed Bob for fooling her. And she called him a jerkface. 😛

Peanut: Huh... I think that total jerkface, Bob, may have fooled me again!

Yesterday, Phyllis was snapping and cracking her gum in town hall…and she didn’t care who was upset by it. 😛 She said she’s been stressed out lately, because of some “stupid boy.”

Phyllis: I'm sorry. How rude of me to be chewing gum at work. (But I'll do what I want!)

Olivia asked me for a new catchphrase today, so I told her to say “it’s a lie.” Now it will sound like everything she says is a lie. 😛 This has some potential to make some good screenshots in the future.

Olivia: In my litterbox! Sunshine, you're just on fire today! It's a lie!

Kid Cat’s replacement moved in today: It’s Roscoe the cranky black horse. I’m not sure how I feel about him yet; I don’t have much experience with him, but we’ll see how it goes.

Roscoe: Huh? I thought I'd met everyone in town.

That’s enough horsing around for this week. I’ll see you all next time. 🙂
