Elmer Returns

When I started up the game last night, I was happy to find that it was Derwin, not Rosie, who moved out of town.

I started up a conversation with Candi, and she offered me some turnips for just three bells apiece. However, I knew she was lying and wasn’t really going to sell me any…so I declined her offer. She was glad to know I wasn’t one of those “greedy, turnip-trading types” (her words).

She then admitted what I already knew (from seeing this dialogue before): That she didn’t actually have any turnips to sell.

At Nookington’s, I bought myself a No. 1 shirt, and sold the zipper shirt I had been wearing.

Ursala asked if I wanted to her join her new football club, and I said yes. However, she said we now have two people…and need 20 more. Yeah, that’s not going to happen. 😛

My new neighbor was Elmer the horse, although he was asleep in his house when I played. A few of you may remember him from GameCube Moments #3, when he fell asleep outside his house and I pushed him down the ramp (and he couldn’t get back up). 😂

But I played again today so that I could meet him and say hello. Despite that little prank ten years ago, I do like Elmer. He’s one of my favorite horses in the series.

Today is the last day of the month (April 30th), so Tom Nook was hosting a raffle. But I didn’t have any raffle tickets, so I couldn’t participate. And I couldn’t sell the fossils and fruit in my pockets, either.

I asked Maple for a job a couple minutes later, and she politely told me she would like more flowers in front of her house. I blindly walked all the way up to Nookington’s and went inside, completely forgetting that today is raffle day. So I couldn’t buy any flowers for her. (And you can’t pick up existing flowers in this game).
