Talking to the Animals

I started up the game and went to quickly check to see if someone’s gate was open; it wasn’t. Then I rode the bus to the city, where I saw an old enemy friend, Gabi. I snapped a picture and laughed when I saw it…but not because of Gabi.

Gabi: The clerk at GracieGrace is, like, sooooo cute! And she's totally full of charisma, too!I talked to Ruby and taught her a new catchphrase.

What's the catchphrase? "on my UFO"She then used it in a sentence.

Ruby: Hey! I bet just TALKING to you will send my financial fortunes skyward, on my UFO!I also talked to Rowan, who has a very high opinion of himself. Usually he says he’s grrreat, but this time he says he’s awesome.

Rowan: But I have to say, it was tougher than I thought. Good thing I'm awesome.I saw a snowball and I pushed it off the cliff like Zelda pushed Link.

A snowball breaks apart as it hits the ground after I pushed it over the cliff.And of course, I also talked to Bob. I’m still waiting for him to use a greeting I taught him a week ago, but no luck so far.

Bob: Today is my chill-at-home day, or, as I like to call it, Pants-Free Day. I love living alone!I watered my flowers and found a whopping four new black roses today.

Friday Night Forest

I’ve finally changed my town tune today, from Deck the Halls to the Metroid item-pickup tune.

Town tune notes for the Metroid item-pickup jingle.I opened my gate and my town quickly filled up with TZ, Bushido, and Bradley.

T Zelda: I'm not into football. Bradley: Go Giants! Jeff: Go Giants!I came to the realization that Animal Crossing needs a new emotion: The hiccup!

Jeff: I want a hiccup emote.For some reason, Bushido turned into Princess Bushy and sliced my eyes out with his/her umbrella.

Bushido, wearing a woman's wig, slices my eyes with an umbrella.When going in Puddles’ house, we discovered that she was already packed and ready to move out.

Puddles, with her furniture all packed up in boxes and ready to move out.Unfortunately, there was some drama between two people that made things a little uncomfortable. And one of those people put some of us in awkward position later on, with a long, drawn-out story that killed the mood and made the rest of us feel bad, only for that person to later say it was all a joke.

Frankly, I’m not happy about all the drama and I’m not sure if I’m going to continue Friday Night Forests. If I do, I think I’m going to remove a couple people from my roster because the game is not fun when people are arguing and bringing everybody else down. If you can’t get along and play nice, I’m not going to keep you on my roster.

Groundhog Day

Today is Groundhog Day, and Tortimer is in front of town hall. In this picture, Yuka’s net is going through his head.

Tortimer: So, is spring coming early or not? We still don't know the answer?!Tortimer gives us a Resetti model to celebrate the holiday.

My new Resetti model on display in my golden furniture room in ACCF.This is only in the American version of the game, so other regions won’t get this. I’ve received a Resetti model several times before, and I may still have one in storage, so I’m saving this for someone.

It was snowing in town today, so I didn’t have to water my flowers. I still walked around and found two new black roses. One of them was at my blue rose hot spot.
