Sydney’s Sea Bass

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
