Last Friday, Cyrano wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a pill bug first. I banged some rocks and caught the bug, and Cyrano said he was rewarding me with a plunger…in his nose. 😂😂😂

However, he was joking about the plunger. That’s actually not an item that’s in the game. 😛 So he gave me 510 bells instead. But his jovial attitude quickly shifted to rage! He said he hates losing to losers like me! 😮 This dude has some anger issues.

So I hit him with my net a few times. *whack*

Goldie was feeling better after suffering with a cold for a while, so she thanked me for the medicine by giving me a citrus carpet.

On Monday, Phyllis continued to complain about Pete.

Not only is she annoyed by Pete, but she’s also irritated by the fact that Pelly is supposedly “in love” with him. She wished Pete would just fly away, except that his flying isn’t very good. 😛

Bob is the latest animal to come down with a cold. I gave him medicine on Tuesday and Wednesday, and he was already feeling better by Thursday! That was unusually fast! He gave me a cowhide rug for helping him out.

Today, at the first x:x7 (which was 9:27 p.m.), I checked for the UFO as usual. It didn’t come. So I tried getting a few things done before checking again at 9:32. You know, banging some rocks, looking for fossils, and so on.

As I was starting to head up north for the next possible fly-by, Bob pinged me and gave me a new nickname: J-monkey! That’s an odd one that I don’t think I’ve heard before.

As the conversation was ending, I heard a UFO! I was nowhere near the northern part of town, so I was in trouble! I grabbed my slingshot from my pockets, which takes precious seconds, and then started running to the northwest (since the UFO was flying east to west). It wasn’t going to be easy to catch up to it, but my chances crashed from slim to none when I fell in a pitfall. Yeowch.

I still tried, but it was well gone by the time I reached the river. It’s actually been a long time since I failed at a UFO crossing. It was totally Bob’s fault for pinging me. 😉 But I’ll try not to take it out on him.

I really struck out with special visitors this week. Saharah didn’t come to town, Redd didn’t have what I needed from him, and then I failed at shooting down Gulliver’s UFO. Oof. Maybe I’ll have better luck next week.

When I was visiting Roscoe, I noticed that he bares a resemblance to his black knight. 😛

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

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. 😂

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.

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.

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.”

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…

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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. 😛

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

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
