Smelly Rewards

When I played on Monday, I got a letter from Gulliver in the mail. He attached a Dala horse that he sent me from Sweden. I later gave it to Hornsby when he asked me for some new furniture.

Hornsby: Nice! I had my eye on a Dala horse just like this one.
In return, he gave me an arched window.

Boots asked me to return something that he borrowed from Lolly, but Lolly said it smelled sweaty. Yuck!

Lolly: Is it me, or does it smell kind of sweaty?

Lolly asked me to guess what it was (furniture, clothing, etc.), and it was pretty clear that it was clothing from how she described it. So for guessing correctly, she gave me the sweaty melon tee.

Lolly: Well, even though I just got it back, I actually want you to have my melon tee.

I don’t want to smell Boots’s sweaty melons! 🤢

It was raining yesterday, and Mira said “Ick” when she saw I was soaking wet. That’s not very nice.

Mira: Ick! You're soaking wet, pal! But...good morning, I hopped!

Oddly enough, it wasn’t even morning! Maybe Mira needs to be rebooted. 😛

I gave her a four-ball tee that Molly asked me to deliver to her, and she gave me a star globe in return.

Mira: A star globe! Hope you like it!

Today, Aurora asked me for a piece of fruit. I gave her a perfect peach, and she rewarded me with a portable toilet. Sure, I’ll stick it right next to my sweaty shirt. 💩

Aurora: Take my portable toilet, please.

Gulliver was in town again, and he was talking about a merlion…which has the head of a lion and the body of a fish.

Gulliver: Hey, did you know I have the head of a seagull and the body of a seagull too?
Gulliver: That's where you're supposed to laugh!

He was headed to Singapore, and he’ll be sending me a gift (a Merlion, of course) from there in the mail.

Rolf asked me to catch a butterfly for his niece, and I agreed to help out. I caught a peacock butterfly for him (and her).

Rolf: Oh, man! That is one good-lookin' peacock butterfly! Thanks!

He rewarded me with a pink parka, which wasn’t as smelly as a couple of my other recent favor rewards. 😛

Toilet Zapper

I played on April 9th (last Thursday) to see the pink trees and falling cherry blossom petals of early April. They’re so pretty, especially in the newer games (New Leaf and New Horizons). 🌸

The pretty cherry blossom petals and pink trees in early April.

Yesterday, Inkwell asked me for a piece of fruit. I gave him a perfect peach, and he loved it. He rewarded me with a portable toilet.

Inkwell: As a token of my appreciation... take my portable toilet!

I found a lost item (a mitten) on the ground, and I eventually returned it to its owner, Mira. She was glad to have it back, not that she needs it this time of year. To thank me, she gave me a No. 4 shirt.

Mira: I'm so glad! It's a real bummer losing your favorite mitten. The other one just isn't the same.

Today, Hornsby asked me for some new furniture. So of course, I gave him the portable toilet from Inkwell. It’s important to reuse our waste. 😆

Hornsby: Nice! I had my eye on a portable toilet just like this one.

He gave me a bug zapper, saying he didn’t need it any more. Is that because his new toilet is going to be so toxic, it’ll kill the bugs instead? 😆

Hornsby: Well, I don't need my bug zapper anymore, so take it as my way of saying thanks!

Jeremiah told me he bought a gift for Aurora, but he asked me to deliver it. Aurora was so surprised that her eyes turned red. 😆

Aurora: Wow! Something from Jeremiah for me?

It was a dawn tank, and she complimented the color. But her catchphrase made her sound insincere.

Aurora: Oh my goodness! A dawn tank... What a lovely color, not much!

But she didn’t try it on, because she said she got dirty when she was playing earlier. So I guess she’s going to wait until she bathes?

Aurora: I got dirty when I was playing earlier, so I'll wait until later to try this on, not much.
So she’s still rocking the Wii U shirt. 😎

She rewarded me with a bamboo shoot. I then returned to Jeremiah to tell her the news. Even though he appreciated me making the delivery, he looked hurt that she didn’t try the shirt on.

Jeremiah: Oh, so Aurora hasn't tried it on yet.
Aww, poor Jeremiah.

I found Gulliver down on the beach, and he was talking about winning a Nobel Prize someday. That meant he was headed to Sweden, and he’ll send me a gift from there next time.

Gulliver: But I plan on winning a Nobel Prize someday, so travel there I must!
