Talking in the Rain

Animal Crossing mirrored reality today as rain poured from the sky. Avery is not a fan of the wet stuff.

Avery: Oh, give me a break... Grrr. Look at this weather! Nothing puts me in a bad mood like a rainstorm!I enjoyed the rain in City Folk because I didn’t have to water my flowers today. So I spent my day in Forest just catching up with my neighbors. Rowan was telling me how he’s not very good at catching ocean fish.

Rowan: I'm no good at ocean fishing. The waves push the fish close, and my hugeness scares them off.It seemed that the rain dampened everyone’s spirits. But at least one animal was in a good mood…Ribbot was actually enjoying the rain. He’s a frog, so it makes sense that he would enjoy the rain. But on the other hand, he’s a robot too! So wouldn’t he rust?

Ribbot: Gettin' soaked to the bone always makes me feel all hardcore outdoorsy, toady!A bit later on, Melba and Avery were having a discussion by a bridge, with Pascal standing nearby, silently listening to every word.

Melba: Um...Avery, thre's something I gotta tell you...I drool.I went to check my beaches for a scallop for Pascal, but I couldn’t find any to give him. But I still talked to him to hear his good advice.

Pascal: Once you lie, maaaan, there's no going back.And then I watched him float over the waterfall.
