Limberg Out, Fang In

I got a goodbye letter in the mail today. Limberg didn’t linger around town very long.

Limberg's goodbye letter.So I went to meet my new neighbor, Fang the wolf.

Fang: Good to meet you, cha-chomp!On my walk around town, I saw an igloo and went inside. It was Kody’s, and he was bragging about how he built it all by himself. Riiiight…

Kody: I wanted to surprise you, so I built it myself.I saw Static and Belle by the river, so I tried pushing them in. It didn’t work. I think I accidentally made some new enemies.

Static and Belle angry at me.I stopped at the post office to deposit some money. On the way home, I stopped by the train station. K.K. was there, and he sang K.K. Samba for me.

K.K. sings to me.

Groundhog Day

Late last night (after midnight), I started up the game and Tortimer was there, just waiting to scold me for not taking care of the lighthouse.

Tortimer: How could you? I'm disappointed in you. You deserve no present.Jerk! I didn’t drop the ball, you dropped your own ball, you old fart! I told you I didn’t want to do it!

Later on, it was time for the Groundhog Day festivities.

Everyone... Groundhog Day festivities are about to begin!Tortimer was at the wishing well and couldn’t remember his story.

Tortimer: Today, the Groundhog Fairy hands out groundhogs. Wait, what's the story again?At 8:00 a.m., Resetti popped up out of the ground.

Resetti: Hey! I got no shadow!He didn’t see his shadow, so that means spring is coming soon!

Resetti: That means spring's comin' on fast!Of course it doesn’t mean anything in reality, and even Tortimer knew Resetti was full of it.

Tortimer: Resetti doesn't have the foggiest clue what he's talking about.Tortimer then said he bribed Resetti to say it. So why would he say Resetti didn’t have a clue what he was talking about? I think Tortimer is the one without the foggiest clue.

Tortimer: Those 20 bells I bribed Resetti with sure did their work!Anyway, if you go back to the wishing well later in the day, Tortimer will give you a flower model (but only one time). He didn’t give me one, so I apparently got mine years ago. (I got the other flower models by trading with people). But even though I got my flower model in a previous year, this was my first time attending the 8 a.m. Resetti appearance.

Later on, I went into an igloo and Ursala wanted me to play a game where I had a 50% chance of buying a tea room wall from her for 3,000 bells. Uh, no thanks.

Ursala: You don't want to? You sniveling coward!And on that pleasant note, I ended my day in Forest.

Here is my video of the Groundhog Day festival:

Oxford Out, Limberg In

Oxford has moved out of town. I got his goodbye letter in the mail today.

Oxford's goodbye letter.I then checked to see who my new neighbor was. It’s Limberg the mouse.

Meeting Limberg the mouse.I found Gulliver down on the beach, so I woke him up. He gave me a Merlion as thanks for “saving his life.”

Gulliver: Thanks for the whole saving my life thing.An igloo was near the beach, so I went inside. Robin was in there, and she wanted my mega quazoid that I just dug up. She asked to play a game to determine the price and I lost the game miserably. So she only paid me 250 bells for it.

Robin: That's a really nice-looking mega quazoid you've got there.I ran into Puck, and he asked if he could have my Merlion. I told him yes, and he gave me an ornate wall in exchange.

Puck: That's so awesome. Can I have it?I later saw Tom, who took notice of a mini squelchoid I dug up. He offered me 3,000 bells for it. We have a deal!

Tom: What's that! You've got a mini squelchoid!I then stopped at the post office to deposit some money and mail some fossils away. On the way home, I picked up two pads of paper from the dump.
