Jeff's Animal Crossing Blog

When I checked my mail today, I was a bit surprised when I saw that it was Rosie, not Robin, who has moved out of town. That’s too bad, because I really like Rosie.

Candi gave me a cherry (a foreign fruit), which was unusually thoughtful of her. Of course my town has plenty of foreign fruit trees, but it’s still nice. She informed me that she still has 74 left, in her ears. 😛

When I visited Static, he played a little joke on me. Such a prankster.

There was a tent set up, so I went inside to see the last camper of the season. It was Kabuki, and he seemed to be questioning why he even went camping. He even suggested that he may need a brain scan!

Baabara told me she would give me a kitchen wall if I could help her with something. She wanted to know which day K.K. Slider visited, and of course, I told her Saturday.

She admitted that I was correct, but then she claimed she forgot to bring my prize. 😡

Speaking of K.K., I actually forgot to check out his show tonight, even though he was in town! Oops.

Ursala asked me how I thought she dressed, and I said “OK, I guess.” This made her very angry.

However, she actually controlled her anger and did something nice! She gave me a chichi print shirt.

I met Rosie’s replacement, Anicotti the mouse. While she initially seemed nice, it didn’t take long for her to insult me.

In New Horizons, all villagers are technically islanders. But that wasn’t always the case, of course. I recently posted a new Animal Crossing GameCube video taking a look at the original islanders.

September is almost here, and that’s the best time of year in this game! There will be no sea bass (and no jellyfish) in the first couple weeks of September, so it’s easy to rack up large sums of bells by fishing in the ocean. I’ll be sure to take advantage of it, so the next blog entry might not be far off. I want to find a day when it’s also raining, so I can also catch some coelacanths and really cash in! See you soon!

My Cupcake from last month was growing stale, and has now been disposed of. Well, she really just moved out of town, but I was trying to sugar-coat the story. I received her goodbye letter in the mail today.

Speaking of pink villagers with sweet names, I ran into Candi tonight. She asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “sweetie,” so I told her to say “in my ears.”

She must not have enjoyed the new phrase, because she seemingly got revenge on me by forcing me to trade my dinosaur egg.

She offered me blue flooring or a concrete wall in return. I picked the wall, but it wouldn’t have been a fair trade either way…and she knew it.

She wasn’t done yet though. She next offered to take my mammoth torso in exchange for a tulip table! But this time, I had the option to turn down the offer…so I did. And she got annoyed at me, even though she again acknowledged this wasn’t a fair trade either.

I kept talking to her over and over. At one point, she told me the chance of rain tomorrow was 47%. Another time, she said the chance of rain tomorrow was 97%! And even though she was complaining almost constantly about the rain, she told me she sometimes begs for rain!

Why do I put up with this mouse? 😛 Sorry, this blog entry isn’t going to be just about Candi. I also met Cupcake’s replacement, Robin. She has lived in Forest before, back in 2012-13. But even though Robin has returned, there was no sign of Batman.

Since it was raining, I went fishing for a little while. I caught three red snappers, and also, a coelacanth!

Bonus trivia: The last time Robin moved into my town (May 20, 2012), it was raining and I caught a coelacanth…just like today.

I saw a huge fish shadow in the river, and it was considerably larger than the coelacanth shadow. So as you might expect, I was getting excited to fish it out. But when I did, it turned out to be just an old tire!

That was so deflating. Not long after that, I ended my game for the night.
