When I started up the game today, I received Nosegay’s goodbye letter in the mail. Maybe she sniffed out a better town.
To the southeast of Candi’s house, I saw a green frog. I thought it was Emerald at first, and I wondered why she was so far from her house. But then I spoke to the frog, and I saw that it was actually Lily! I’ve had Lily in my ACCF town for a while, until she moved out in June. But now I know where she was moving to: My GameCube town! 😛
After fishing a huge arapaima out of the river, I went up to Nookington’s. I felt it was time to change my clothes, so I bought this MVP shirt.
On the first floor, I also bought some sky blue paint for my roof.
I found Gulliver down on the beach, so I woke him up and he told me his tall tales of how he ended up in the ocean. He then gave me a Chinese lion for listening to all of his lion lyin’.
I met up with Baabara, and she was telling me that August 12th is June 28th according to the lunar calendar. And according to my calendar, Baabara is a bit loony.
Ursala told me my eyes looked bloodshot, so she decided to give me an eye exam!
After a few questions, she told me my answer was wrong (even though it wasn’t). But she said my eyes were okay, and she gave me permission to stay up as late as I wanted. Wow, how nice of her.
I then headed over to the lake. The night of August 12th is when you can see the annual meteor shower, based on the real-life Perseids.
In an apparent glitch, Emerald accused herself of hogging the best viewing spot!
Her next statement was even odder, saying “Emerald’d better leave room for the rest of us.”
After I was done talking to everyone, I went onto the pier and just watched the shooting stars. The calm, peaceful music that plays at this viewing party is one of my favorite songs in the game. In fact, I left my game on for a good part of the evening just so I could continue hearing it play as I wrote this blog entry.
Here is a video of the event, including a couple minutes at the end where I just stand and watch the shooting stars and enjoy the music.
Oh, nice! Is good to know that not only my version has a mistake on the eye exam dialogue. Or maybe it’s on purpose? Either way it made me laugh the first time I encountered it.
