Returning Canberra’s Mitten

When I started up the game tonight, Big Top was right outside my house. He asked to visit my house. I said sure, so he told me to lead the way. So I turned around and went inside. He followed me in and he could hardly believe he was in “killer’s house.” Careful what you wish for, elephant man.

Big Top: Wow! I'm really in killer's house! I've been dreaming about this moment for so long!When he was done snooping around, I went back outside when Big Top was done snooping around. Molly told me she was going to move out of town on the 11th of this month. Permission denied.

Molly: I was about to make a big decision based on a whim! Thanks so much for making me reconsider!Hide and Seek

Before long, Teddy told me that he wanted to play hide-and-seek. Two days in a row? Sure, why not?

Teddy: OK, we're gonna go hide now!I had ten minutes (not 15 like yesterday) to find Teddy, Tabby, and Big Top. It took me nearly four minutes before I found anyone, though. Big Top was the first to go down, after hiding behind a tree.

A lost mitten on the ground next to my zen bell.But just across the bridge from there, I found Teddy. And with four minutes remaining, I found the last (and certainly least) animal, Tabby.

Sorry, but pole dancing is not permitted in this town.

I won the game, and Teddy rewarded me with a tall lantern. He also said I was a lousy winner, which was totally uncalled for. He needs to remember that I’m the mayor and I can have him stuffed.

Teddy: It pains me to do it, but you earned my tall lantern. I'll win next time, you...you...lousy winner!When I talked to Big Top again, he was talking about…actually I don’t remember what he was talking about.

Big Top: If I were you, I'd face the mountain and yell at the top of my lungs, "Alias is a show!"Returning the Mitten

The lost mitten didn’t belong to any of the hide-and-seek players, so I went around asking everyone. Then I went into Canberra’s house. She was surprised to see me willingly enter her house. I was surprised about that too, to be honest.

Canberra: Huh? I had a feeling I'd be getting a visitor. I didn't think it'd be you, though, mate.She said the mitten was hers. Oh no. My heart stopped. Please don’t give me your picture! Fortunately, she gave me a tan dogstooth shirt instead. I’ve never been so happy to receive a crappy shirt in exchange for a task. Whew, that was a close one!

Back outside, Teddy was acting just as strange as Big Top. What’s with everyone today?

Teddy: What's with that suspicious smile? Don't you wanna have some jungle adventures?
We Teddy and Jeff. Not Tarzan and Jane.
New Badge

But soon, I saw one of my favorite animals to see: Phineas! He gave me a new Refurbishing Beginner badge. It’s for customizing lots of furniture at Re-Tail.

I got the Refurbishing Beginner badge! I have the need to customize more furniture!New PWP Suggestion

Before I finished playing, I talked to Big Top yet again. And this time, he suggested a new public works project! But…it’s just a sandbox.

Big Top: A sandbox! If you agreed to it, we could put one right here!It looks like…a sandbox. Definitely one of the lamest projects.

Sandbox PWP: 36,000 bells.Something New
