Sydney’s Sea Bass

Today, I received a goodbye letter from Marcy in the mail. She has already bounced out of town.

Guess what, Jeff! I realize this is a little cuckoo, but I've decided to move. Have I lost it? No!!! I've just got to try to get a fresh start. I don't even know where I'm going yet! See ya! -Marcy

Just south of my home acre, I found an igloo near my central ramp.

An igloo near the central ramp in Forest.

Genji was inside, and he told me that he just built the igloo to surprise me. But it was a lot of hard work “for one beast,” and he was really tired.

Genji, falling asleep in an igloo: Just a little longer... Need sleep...

That peaceful igloo music makes me want to take a nap, too!

Over at Nookington’s, there wasn’t any buying or selling going on today. That’s because it’s the last day of the month: Raffle Day. I didn’t have any raffle tickets, but I did take a quick look at the prizes.

Tom Nook, on Raffle Day: Today's a raffle day, hm? I'm not selling anything.

Maple has a new next-door neighbor, Bangle the tiger! Tigers seem to have particularly huge heads in this game. 😆 She seems nice, but she was not aware that igloos have already started appearing in town.

Bangle: Oooooh! Hey! Do you think we'll start seeing igloos in Forest soon?

When I ran into Belle, she was up to her usual tricks. She wanted me to buy a mod wall for 5,150 bells. If I’m not mistaken, that’s nearly five times what Tom Nook sells it for! So naturally, I declined the offer. She wasn’t particularly rude about my refusal this time, but she did say that was the lowest she could go. Yeah, good luck ever selling it for that much.

Belle: Too rich for your blood, cuddles?

I found Gulliver washed up on the beach, and I woke him up. He used his infamous line that mentions the year, and I never get tired of this bit. 😆

Gulliver: Yawn... What a great nap! What!? It's 2025? But that means I've been asleep for over 150...
Gulliver: ...minutes.

He gave me a Lady Liberty (a model of the Statue of Liberty) for “saving his life.” 🗽

Over at the wishing well, I asked Sydney for a favor. She said she wanted a pet fish, but she insisted that she was awful at fishing.

Sydney: So, Jeff, can you please go catch a fish for me? Otherwise, I'll be forever fishless!

So I went down to the ocean and caught a red snapper. And then I went to catch another fish, because I’m certainly not giving her a 3,000-bell snapper. 😆 But I did catch a nice sea bass for her! 😉 She liked it, and she rewarded me with a lovely chair.

Sydney: I don't know if fish get lonely, but this one won't! I promise to talk to it every day, okey-dokey.

Her catchphrase is one she learned from Kody, “okey-dokey.” But just moments later, Kody asked me for a new phrase to replace his “okey-dokey.” Maybe he didn’t like the fact that Sydney was using it too. 😛 So I gave him a phrase that I once gave to Tammy in New Leaf: game cub.

Kody: Marry me, game cub! Whoa! That sounds awesome! I'm gonna be so popular!!!

I made a stop at the post office to mail away the fossils I dug up, and then I returned home for the day. I’ll see you all next month! Never Stop Crossing!

One thought on “Sydney’s Sea Bass”

  1. I admit there is a video I use on YouTube to get to sleep with just a long recording of the igloo music and sometimes the train going by in the background. Its quite calming!
