A Taste of Halloween

Yesterday, I received Pinky’s goodbye letter in the mail. She didn’t stick around long, but that’s fine by me.

Candi told me that she recently visited Katrina the fortune teller. Everything Katrina said came true, so Candi was convinced Katrina could see through time…in her ears. 😀

At Nookington’s, I bought up all five pieces of candy…and a froggy chair.

I met my newest neighbor, Maddie the dog. She seems nice, and she lives up on the southeast cliff, next to Maple. That’s the spot where Hank originally lived.

Belle tried tricking me into thinking she was Saharah. She wanted to sell me some carpet, but I declined the offer.

I’m not sure what was happening at the wishing well, but Baabara, Kody, and Static were all walking around depressed.

K.K. Slider was hanging out at the train station, so I stopped to check out his show. He performed K.K. Lament for me.

I played again today, and it was raffle day at Nookington’s. Here you can see Nook’s prizes: a NES game, an ivory piano, and a robo-stereo. But I only had one raffle ticket, and you need five of them to enter the drawing, so I was out of luck.

At 6:00, the Halloween festivities started. I was quickly reminded how ruthless villagers can be during Halloween. They ambushed me and took my candy; my first three pieces were gone in practically no time. So I knew I had to move my candy to letters, and just let the other villagers do their worst.

My clothes were ruined, but I eventually found Jack, the czar of Halloween himself.

I gave him a piece of candy, and he gave me a spooky carpet in return. I later found him again, and he gave me the same reward. At that point, I was out of candy and I had other Animal Crossing games to play, so I called it quits for the night on GameCube.

I only had a small taste of Halloween in this game this year, but that small taste was enough. This is the most frustrating version of the Halloween event in the Animal Crossing series, by a wide margin. But whichever games(s) you played, I hope you had a great Halloween! 🎃
