A Tropical Visit

Kid Cat apparently is no longer in danger of moving out. Why? Because now Del wants to move out.

Del: It's just about time I packed up my things and moved on, understand?I talked to him over and over, probably over 20 times, trying to get him to change his mind. But he never did. I think he’s a goner. 🙁

Later in the evening, my friend Yann invited me over to visit her town Tropical for the first time.

Yann: I caught something.. Jeff: A cold?She showed me her house…

Jeff, standing next to a toaster: It's nice and toasty in here.And I caught up with Anchovy, who moved from Forest to Tropical.

Anchovy: So, from now on, when you think "Anchovy," think "Tropical," OK, sugar cube?She gave me a tour of her town and I met all of her animals, except for Iggly, who was sick in bed.

Roccol: The name's Rocco. Tropical's nothing special, but I hope you enjoy it, hip hip!Kitty called me a cool foreigner! That’s a strange thing to say.

Kitty: Also, it helps me look more popular if everyone in town sees me with the cool foreigner!In Rhonda’s house, I noticed that her chair faces her mirror. So she can sit and stare at herself all day long, apparently.

Rhonda: Say, you don't look familiar... You're not from around here, are you, le horns?Jeff: Her chair faces the mirror.

A Sunday Trip to the City

I checked the bulletin board and saw this message posted:

~Weather Forecast~ We're expecting average amounts of snow this year. Temps will be higher than normal, so ponds shouldn't freeze over.It says ponds won’t freeze over this year, but of course it says that every year. Ponds don’t freeze over in this game, and that’s a shame. In some Harvest Moon games, the ponds actually do freeze over in winter. The ability to walk over frozen ponds can lead to secret items or secret areas. And it’s always rewarding to explore a new area and find something new. It would be nice if Nintendo could do something like that in future Animal Crossing games.

But moving right along, I took the bus to the city today. Phineas (the balloon guy) was there, but so was an old friend of mine, Antonio. He was one of my favorite villagers in ACCF, and he lived right across the road (path) from Bob before he moved out last year.

Antonio, in the city: Today's menu: scarf lunch, do some quick stretches to prevent shopper's cramp, then back to shopping!I also went into the marquee (theater). There actually was a Frillard emotion (sleepiness) this week, but it’s not one I was hoping for.

Clerk: What show would you like to see today?So I went back to town and watered my flowers. I found two new black roses today. I noticed a lot of animals were out, with several of them whistling/singing and enjoying the day.

Mint, Ruby, and Poppy walking around happily.Bob, who came into view about one second after I took the above picture, asked me to deliver a gift to Mint. As you can see in that previous picture, Mint was very close by, so it made for an easy delivery. It was a polar fleece, in case you were wondering.

Mint: A gift from Bob? I wonder why?But returning to tell Bob wasn’t quite as easy. Somehow he made it all the way back to his house in a very short amount of time. He probably hasn’t ran that fast since he heard the Meow Mix commercial on TV. But he thanked me for making the delivery and gave me an old board floor as a reward.

Bob: Huh huh huh! Here, I got a old board floor for you. I hope you like it, master!

Kid Cat Leaving?

I went to the city today and saw an old friend, Daisy. I said hi.

Daisy: You know what I need? A shoe shine!Back in town, it wasn’t raining (and I knew it wouldn’t rain later, since I caught the weather forecast last night), so I had to water my flowers. I got a bit of a scare when I talked to Kid Cat; he wants to move out!

Kid Cat: I've talked it over with myself, and I decided to bail and move out of town.I kept talking to him over and over, and he eventually changed his mind. Or so he says. But there have been times when animals have said that, and still left. So I won’t feel safe until a different animal is packed or at least talking about moving.
