Claudia the Mail Thief

Yesterday (November 22nd) was Claudia’s birthday, and I attended her party. I’m not a fan of Claudia, so I decided to give her a skinny mushroom as her birthday present. But I guess the joke was on me, because she loved it!

Claudia: Mmm. You know the way to my heart. This looks delicious. Thank you, Tiny J!

Interestingly, she said she would cherish it forever, or at least until her next birthday. But if she’s going to eat it, then how would it still be with her by next year? Maybe I don’t want to know.

Claudia: I'll cherish this gift forever and ever. Or at least until my next birthday, in igloos!

Molly was also at the party. Maybe she felt sorry for Claudia.

Molly: I'm glad you came to celebrate with us! When it comes to parties, it's certainly the more the merrier.

Today, Aurora told me she keeps having dreams about a mummy’s casket! Sounds like a nightmare!

Aurora: I keep having this dream about a mummy's casket.

But she was just wanting to buy mine; she gave me 1,320 bells for it.

Claudia told me a package meant for Hornsby was delivered to her house instead. So naturally, she expected me to solve her problem.

Claudia: I can't keep it! Everyone will say I took it from Hornsby's mailbox! You KNOW how people talk!
Hey, everybody! Claudia stole from Hornsby’s mailbox!

I took the package over to Hornsby, and there was a Papa panda inside.

Hornsby: It's a Papa panda!

He said he ordered it to give it to me, and he mentioned what a big coincidence it was that I brought it to him. But of course, this situation occurs far too often for me to believe it’s just a coincidence. 😛

When I spoke with Lolly, she told me she has wanted a Papa panda for a very long time.

Lolly: You may not know, but I've wanted a Papa panda for a very, very long time.

She paid me 864 bells for it.

Lolly also mentioned that she was carrying around a fishing rod so that she could catch fish in 5 years! Now that’s what I call being prepared! 😂

Lolly: I'm carrying around my fishing rod so I can catch fish, in 5 years. Why else would I have one?

At Re-Tail, Rolf bought that genie’s lamp that Claudia was selling last week. Wait until he finds out there are no wishes left. 😛

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Jake from Florida, Toad from Maryland, Logan from Farbourn, and Betsy from Hotwheel. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Podium Predictors

Today, I found an old genie’s lamp for sale at Re-Tail.

As if I would buy that! She probably used up the three wishes already, and that’s why she’s selling it. Or maybe it never granted any wishes to begin with. Claudia still looks like Claudia, so I’m guessing there’s no real genie inside.

Big Top told me he was nervous about the awards ceremony, to which I replied (in my head), “What ceremony?”

Big Top: Man, I'm so nervous about the awards ceremony!

Apparently, there was a fishing tournament today. I didn’t even realize it. 😛 But I talked to more villagers… Both Vivian and Claudia told me they were expecting to win.

Vivian: Blue or red? Oh, I'm just wondering what color to wear when I take first place at the awards ceremony.
Claudia: Will it be awkward if I give an acceptance speech after winning first place in the tournament?

When I visited Lolly, she told me her latest obsession was sleeping in the space between the bed and the wall. That sounded a bit weird, but cats do sleep in some strange places/positions sometimes.

Lolly: My latest obsession is sleeping in the space between the bed and the wall.

I then entered Chip’s tent to attend the fishing tournament winners’ ceremony. Interestingly, all three villagers who spoke with me about the tournament were up on the podium! Big Top finished in 3rd place, Claudia was in 2nd, and Vivian was the overall winner.

At Club LOL, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Mambo. Kabuki was also in attendance, so I chatted with him briefly.

Kabuki: Confession time: I came by because I was missing Forest. Isn't that just like me?

As I returned to town after the show, I saw a train go by.

A train goes by in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

I stopped over Lolly’s house again, and she gave me a mummy’s casket for free. Even the body inside of it was all wrapped up. Thanks, Lolly!

Lolly: Oh! Chap! I seem to recall you saying you wanted a mummy's casket!

My latest dream visitors include Alex from Tokyo, Francois from Alderman, and Katie from Elenwood. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good night (or day)!

Late for a Walking Stick

Boots approached me tonight, and gave me his stool!

Boots: Champ! Look, just take my stool, and don't say a word about it!
I’m not your doctor.

Apparently, just passing the stool (over to me) was a major accomplishment for him. 😀

Boots: Yes! Major accomplishment!
You’re a big kid now!

Lolly later gave me a taiko drum for that stool. But she also asked me for a favor: She wanted me to catch her a walking stick.

Lolly: I'd like you to catch a walking stick for me, please.
Can’t you just borrow Tortimer’s?

I agreed to help her out, but I soon realized there was a problem. It was too late at night for walking sticks to be out! How am I ever supposed to earn her picture, when she asks me for impossible tasks? Ugh.

Up at Club LOL, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Ragtime. Dizzy and Tom were also there at the club, enjoying the show.

K.K.: Enough tuning--let's groove. This next one is for you, Jeff. It's called K.K. Ragtime.

When I got back to town, Hornsby wanted to trade his peachy tank for my kiwi tank. I agreed to the trade; it was one fruity shirt for another.

Hornsby: Wanna trade it for my sweet, sweet kiwi tank?

My recent dream visitors have been Stewie from Hotwheel, A+ from IDK, Fraussie from Pelltown, Sammy from Kalos, Caden from Powell, and Juliette from Okanwe. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
