Gray Grass

I played the game a bit in mid-November, and I found a goodbye letter from Maddie in the mail.

My buddy Hank had a quiz for me: He asked me if he worked out that day. He’s a jock, so I was pretty sure the answer was yes…and I was right. As my prize, he gave me a pitfall. It’s always good to have a pitfall or two on hand, and I was all out of stock. 😛

Hank: Here you go! This thing is really rare, so you better take good care of it, buhk buhk!

Since I was still wearing my patched shirt from a Halloween incident, I bought a fresh shirt at Nookington’s and changed into it. I later dropped off the patched shirt in the dump.

Timmy: That would be a fresh shirt you're looking at.

Over in acre B-1, I found Forest’s newest resident: Cheri the peppy bear cub.

Cheri: Hey, how's the evening air treating you? Nice?

She’s cute, and I was glad to have her around. But unfortunately, when I played again today (November 29th), she had already moved out. The good news is that I like her replacement too. It’s Cookie!

Cookie: Pleasant evening, isn't it? I'm Cookie!

As you can see, the grass is now a dark gray. I believe this is the last grass color change until the snow arrives on December 10th.

Jeff and Hank stand on the gray grass of late autumn.

Static tried to sell me a peach for 840 bells. That’s a foreign fruit, so that’s not a bad deal…if you don’t already have many peach trees in town. But I didn’t need it, so I declined the offer. Of course, that angered Static, and he (once again) called me a cheap, no-fruit-buying bum. 😛

Static: What do you mean, you don't want it?! What's wrong with you?

Baabara accused me of wearing the same clothes all the time.

Baabara: What do you do when you have to wash your clothes?! Do you stay inside all day? Do you go out...indecent?

But that was just the start of her sales pitch. (She should have her own infomercials!) She told me she would list five shirts at various prices, and I was forced to buy one of them. The first one was a U R here shirt for 720 bells.

Baabara: And so, without further ado, here's the first one. A U R here shirt for 720 bells!

I declined, but I later found out that I should have bought it. Because the other shirts were all at least twice that price. I ended up being stuck with a spade shirt for 1,470 bells. I was actually somewhat lucky, because that was the 2nd-lowest priced shirt she offered. I still hate forced purchases, though.

Happy holidays, everyone! See you next time!
