Boondox Complete!

As expected, I received a letter from Boondox today…the final letter from Boondox (aka Boondopolis). Apparently, my donations have been helping someone (who can’t be bothered to sign their own name) to get into Lake University.

Dear Jeff, I've been studying day and night for the Lake University entrance exams. I hope I pass! -From Boondox

The rainbow feather was included. For those of you who just played the Festivale event in New Horizons or New Leaf this week, don’t be fooled. Unlike in those games, the rainbow feather in Wild World is a difficult item to obtain. You only earn it once Boondox is complete, which requires a total of 6.4 million bells in donations. I’m glad to finally have it done. Woohoo! ðŸĨģ

I also received a letter from the snowman I built last week, and he sent me a snowman table. It’s a large item, so I had to change up my main room again. Here’s a look at (part of) my room, and also my new rainbow feather.

Jeff, wearing his new rainbow feather, stands in his room of snowman furniture.

The table is my 10th snowman furniture item, so it appears that my snowman set is now complete. Technically, the snowman does give another item (a snowman), but it seems to count as a separate item and not a part of the furniture set itself. So I’ll see if I get a nice bonus in my HRA score next week (I scored 113,968 this week.)

Back outside, Antonio was wondering who built the museum. He figured that it couldn’t be Blathers, because he doesn’t have the “wing strength.”

Antonio: He may be smart and all, but I doubt he has that kind of wing strength!

Goldie was packed up and ready to move away, but I gave her some doggie treats to get her to reconsider. 😉 ðŸĶī

Bunnie was still sick with a cold, so I bought some more medicine for her. Hopefully it will help, because her hallucinations are getting pretty bad. 😛

Bunnie: Is that medicine? Or am I hallucinating? GET 'EM OFF ME!!! Oh, like, whoa...

I wrapped up my night by making another snowman. Hopefully he will send me the snowman item in the mail. We only have one more week until the snow is gone!

Snowman: I felt like one of them hamsters in a wheel! Just rolling in place...

See you next week! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Bright Nights 2021

Today, I received a letter from the snowman I built last week. He sent me a snowman clock, which is one of the items I still needed. So I moved my main room around a bit to make room for it. I now have nine of the snowman furniture items to go along with the floor and wall; I’m almost done!

Rolf was in a bad mood today, and he was being more than a bit rude.

Rolf: Oh, hello! You tryin' to make me mad? 'Cause you're succeeding!

I rolled up today’s snowballs and made a perfect snowman.

Snowman: All flawlessly executed! And my face... Perfection!

Nookington’s had a spotlight product today, but it was just a plum bonsai. Even though it’s not a painting like I was hoping for, I still bought it because I needed it for my catalog.

Bunnie was sick with a cold, so I asked if she needed some medicine. She then called me a mean old liar because I didn’t have any on me. I never said I had it yet, I just asked if she needed it! It seems like everyone is being rude today!

Bunnie: You don't have medicine! LIAR! MEAN OLD LIAR! ...Oooh, I'm gonna be sick... BLARRG!
Did she just puke on me?!

But I did go buy some medicine for her anyway.

The Bright Nights festival is underway this week, with villager houses (and some trees) decorated with festive lights. I decided that Bunnie’s house looked the best, mainly because she had two decorated trees nearby.

Tortimer was outside of town hall for the event, and he seemed to be the only one in town that was in a good mood today. Well, aside from the snowman.

Tortimer: And I'm the mayor... Life is good, sprout! Whooo-eee! Heh heh heh HOORF!

I told him that Bunnie was my choice for the best house, and he said he’d pass along the compliment to her. I returned to Bunnie’s house to see if she’d mention it, but she only spoke about the medicine I gave her. Well, at least she’s feeling better now…and not leaking.

Bunnie: You know, 'cause the medicine totally made my head stop leaking!

With all of my tasks completed, I started gathering and selling fruit. Once I met my goal, I made my final million-bell donation to Boondox. Uh, I mean, Boondopolis.

Pelly: I will continue to send your donations to Boondox... I mean, Boondopolis.

So unless I made an error in my calculations, Boondox should be complete and I should receive my rainbow feather in the mail the next time I play. I’ll be sure to let you know next week. 🙂

How Town Hall Was Funded

When I visited Rolf today, he said that even though we’re still just casual acquaintances, he has a feeling that we have chemistry…and that scares him. 😛

Rolf: ...I get this feeling that we've got chemistry, and it scares me...

Margie reminded me that the Bright Nights festival is coming up soon (next week, apparently). Pretty cool! That’s still one of Wild World’s best exclusive events.

Margie: The Bright Nights party starts soon, tootie. It lasts all week long.

Mathilda was talking about the town hall building and how impressive it is. She even said she heard that someone made a killing on turnips, and built town hall with the profits!

Mathilda: I heard that someone made a killing on turnips and built it with the profits...

So I learned something new today! I’m guessing it was Tortimer that hit the turnip jackpot? Maybe it was so long ago that Tortimer and Joan were both young! Now that’s hard to imagine. 😛

Bunnie was all packed up and ready to move out of town already, which surprised me. It’s barely been a month since she arrived, which is way too soon to let her go. So I asked her to reconsider.

Bunnie: Oh, what should I do? Should I change my mind, grrrolf?

I see she’s already using Rolf’s catchphrase. 😛 It doesn’t seem to fit her. 😀

It’s February now, and the snow will be gone in just three weeks. So I made sure to build a snowman today, and he turned out good. I would like to complete my snowman set before the winter is over. But then again, snowmen do send duplicates in this game, so my chances may not be great.

Snowman: Just waiting and waiting for a nice kid like you to come along and finish me.

I went on a fruit-gathering run, selling practically all the foreign fruit I could find. Between that, today’s fossils, and the money rock, I made a total of 75,000 bells. I now only need 67,000 bells to make my final Boondox donation! So I may be able to do that by next week, as long I don’t play so late at night that the store is already closed. 😛
