The Trading Game

Bunnie has bounced out of town, and I got her goodbye letter in the mail today.

Jeff! I awoke the other day with the wanderlust, so I just up and left. Wild, huh? On the road, destination unknown! Anyway, thanks for dealing with my craziness! Cheery-bye! -Bunnie

Now that the snow has melted, my ugly green roof has revealed itself. I need to change that, even though I forgot to do it before the store closed tonight.

Static took a look in my pockets and decided that he wanted my tall clankoid that I just dug up. He offered 2,470 bells for it, which is about triple what Tom Nook would pay! I gladly accepted his offer.

Static: That's a pretty solid deal! Yeah, I don't think Old Man Nook would give you this kind of money for it...
That’s for sure!

Down on the shore, I found Gulliver passed out. I woke him up, and he gave me a bunch of excuses as to why he fell off his ship. He then gave me a tribal mask.

Gulliver: What!?! You think I didn't fight a giant squid at all? Then explain why my face looks like this!
maybe u just ugly. jk

Moments later, I met Bunnie’s replacement: Mickey Mouse! Well, okay, she says her name is Penny, so I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. 😉

Penny: By the way, what's your name, ska-WEAK?
Her catchphrase is a little… Goofy. 😛

She previously lived in Forest back in 2011, which was the first year of this blog. (Want to see that entry?)

Hank gave me some advice on making new friends. I don’t think I’ll take his advice, but I appreciate that he’s trying to help. 😛

Hank: You gotta be more aggressive! you gotta go to other villages and stuff, buhk buhk! And say: HEY! Be my friend!

I bumped into Baabara near the wishing well, and she wanted to play a game where we trade items. But not just once, repeatedly, until I say to stop. Believe it or not, I don’t recall playing this exact game before. I mean surely, I must have at some point, but I think it’s probably been many years. Unless I just declined when they asked.

Baabara: Now! The rules, Jeff. We'll trade items until you want to stop. Pretty basic!

She said the trading was limited to furniture, wallpaper, and carpeting. I agreed to the terms, and the trades were automatic and random (I couldn’t choose which items to give or receive).

The first trade was my gyroid for some modern tile (flooring). The second try was another gyroid for a citrus wall. After that, I stopped. I didn’t want to give away my tribal mask from Gulliver for more wallpaper. 😛

Once I was done making my rounds, I pulled all the remaining weeds I saw, and made sure my town status was perfect again. I then returned home and saved my game. Goodnight, everyone! See you next time!
