Stormy Day, Bitter Animals

I started up my game today and there was a thunderstorm to deal with. I started walking around town, and I ran into a peeved Static. What crawled up his shorts today?

Static: DON'T SCREAM IN MY EAR, IDIOT!I also saw Belle, who told me to build a library in Forest. She didn’t care if I had to sell my house to do it. What a friend.

Belle: I don't care if you have to sell your house, but build me a library!I made my way around to Hank’s house, and he was one of the few animals to be in a good mood. He says the rain doesn’t bother him at all.

Hank: Shrug it off like water off a duck's back!Meanwhile, Twirp has apparently turned into Mr. Burns from The Simpsons.

Twirp: Go away! Don't make me release the hounds on you!And Tortimer was at the wishing well to commemorate Nature Day (Earth Day).

Tortimer: When you grow up, I hope you'll take care of the land, and of me...Meanwhile, Emerald was telling me I needed some carpet or wallpaper for my house. In fact, she would sell me one or the other for only 10,114 bells. Hmm, let me think about that…NO!

Emerald: I'll let you buy either one for 10,114 bells.After that, I decided to make a few trips back and forth to the island.

Kapp'n and I arriving at the island.On my first visit, Ankha asked me for a new catchphrase. I told her I still liked her current one, “in my tomb,” so she agreed to keep it.

Ankha: I'll keep wowing everyone with this catchphrase, in my tomb.And of course, Kapp’s sings his songs on the boat rides. He also makes some crude comments.

Kapp'n: Me little grubber... Always keep yerself clean, if ye know what I mean.On one of my return trips, there were two fish right next to each other by the dock. This was nowhere near an acre boundary, so I was a bit surprised to see this.

Two fish swimming side-by-side.After I was done boating (and feeling a little seasick), I returned home.

Chucking In On Ohio

Today I decided to check in on my rarely-played 2nd town, Ohio. I had a few weeds…

Lots of weeds here.I had been looking for a bull villager (to take a screenshot for my Animal Crossing parody called Animal Chopping), and I saw that Chuck lived in Ohio. He seems to be stuck in a time warp, though…

Chuck: You disappeared off the face of the earth! It's 2010!After that, I started up my main town, Forest. I got a letter in the mail from Lobo, who has moved out of town.

Lobo's goodbye letter.While walking around town, I saw Maple and Static having a fight. Afterwards, Static was depressed.

Static: I can't believe I screwed up so badly...I found a dig spot and dug up a black bishop.

Check it out! I dug up a black bishop!And I then got to meet my newest neighbor, Twirp. I already don’t like her him.

Twirp: I knew there was someone I hadn't met. I have you now!As usual, I finished up my day by pulling some weeds, depositing some money into the bank, and mailing a few fossils away at the post office. See you next time!

Cherry Blossom Festival

Today is the third and final day of the Cherry Blossom Festival, and cherry blossom petals were falling from the sky.

Cherry blossom petals falling from the sky.I stopped at Nook’s and decided to replace my blue check print with a different tablecloth shirt,  the jade check print.

Timmy: That would be a jade check print you're looking at...I talked to Static and he said spring is the time to start something new…a new leaf! My thoughts exactly.

Static: Time to start something new. A fresh start. A new leaf.I then headed over to the wishing well for the Cherry Blossom Festival. Of course Tortimer was there. Kody was the dancing animal this year, and it almost looked like he was ice skating.

Robin: Drink, eat, and dance. Parties can make you forget everything.And Emerald and Belle were at the other table. Belle was getting drunk, and Emerald couldn’t stop laughing at her.
