Ribbot has moved on to the computer heap in the sky. Okay, he just moved out of town. I got his goodbye letter in the mail. It’s sad to see him go so soon.
I had a bunch of junk in my pockets, but I couldn’t sell it because today was the last day of the month–raffle day. And I couldn’t participate in the raffle either, because I didn’t have any raffle tickets.
When I spoke with Maple, she said I must’ve caught a ton of fish. I responded “of course,” and she said she was being sarcastic!
Then she said if I have time to go fishing so much, then I should have time to help people. Well if that’s how you feel, then I’ll spend some time helping you feel closer to Mother Earth.
I found Gulliver passed out on the beach, and I woke him up from his long nap. He rewarded me by giving me a Chinese lion.
I saw Tom outside of his house, and I was going to speak with him. But once he saw me, he went right into his house like he was avoiding me! So I followed him inside. He told me about a letter he received, and then said he had to jet.
Where are you going to jet to? I have you trapped in a corner, punk. So I started pushing him around until he got angry.
Back outside, Baabara mentioned moving away. That would be great, except that I know she’s bluffing.
I soon bumped into my newest neighbor, Iggy the goat. His eyes are practically bulging out of his head.
Over by the wishing well, Belle was being her usual mad cow self. She was angry about something, but I don’t know what. When I spoke to her, she told me to stay away from her and said I’d regret it if I didn’t. Wow, so rude.
I tried pushing her around, but she never said anything about it. Maybe if a villager is already mad about something (or someone) else, they don’t complain about being pushed around. Interesting.
Ursala was outside of the museum, and she wanted to trade me her tulip chair for my dinosaur egg. No way! I declined the offer, and she got really mad. She asked if I knew who she was (sadly, I do). She then said she hopes I go through my whole boring life with drab furniture.
So I gave her a shove as well. These animals are getting on my nerves today.
My pockets completely filled up, and I was looking for a way to make space. If I attached some unidentified fossils to letters, I could mail them away. But I didn’t have any paper. Neither did the lost and found or the dump. And I couldn’t buy any, since Nook wasn’t selling anything today.
So I thought maybe I could get some stationery as a reward for helping someone out. Hank is a nice guy, so I asked him. But he told me he borrowed a book from Yuka the other day. Now, for one thing, that’s a lie. Yuka hasn’t lived here for five years!
And I was not about to take the train to Ohio for a simple task. Not to mention, the Yuka in my Ohio town isn’t even the same Yuka that lived in Forest in 2012. The Yuka in Ohio moved out of Forest a decade ago! So I said no to Hank, and of course, he got mad at me too.
At this point, I’d had enough. I returned home and promptly ended my game.
In acre B-1, I met Boots’ replacement: Poncho. They both share names with things you may wear when it rains. 😛
Candi was already in her house by the time I came by, so I went inside for a visit. She was a bit upset that I hadn’t visited her in so long, and she said if I didn’t come tonight, she would have banned me from entering her house! She was obviously bluffing, but still, that’s pretty rude.
