Sass and Coffee

In front of Nook ‘n’ Go, Fang and Friga were arguing about which one of them was more likely to scare children. Fang was saying that kids love him, while Friga only loves herself.

Fang, to Friga: You just like yourself, toasty.I found Lily nearly standing on my UFO pattern. Was she waiting for a UFO to fly by? Good luck shooting it down with a fishing rod.

Lily: So, J-pie, what do you think? How do I look with this fishing rod, in a pond?When I went to visit Chrissy, she asked me how well she was dressed today. Of course, she was standing behind a couch, so I couldn’t even see. But still, I told her she looked sloppy. I’m just nice like that.

Chrissy: Eek! For seriously?! Wow, I didn't think I was slobby at all. ...Maybe I dressed it down.In the Roost, both Bunnie and Phyllis were enjoying cups of coffee. Bunnie, who apparently didn’t have a face, was trying to look sassy.

Bunnie, in the Roost: I can make it look kinda sassy if I hold the cup just right. Think anyone will notice, toasty?But nobody can out-sass the bird sitting next to her. Phyllis is the queen of sass. Although she was trying to be somewhat nice for a change (until I heard her muttering under her breath).

Phyllis: Yeah, well... Um... How's it going? (Great, Phyllis. Now he's going to think we're friends!)To my surprise, I was able to save both of those pictures on the first try. If any of you have tried taking pictures talking to coffee-drinkers, you’ll know that a glitch of some sort often prevents those pictures from being saved for some reason. But it worked just fine tonight.

Just a heads-up: The flea market is coming this weekend. I rarely participate, but I know some people enjoy the opportunity to buy your villagers’ furniture or trick them into overpaying for yours. I’ll see you all next time!

Chrissy Moves In

Chip was over at town hall today to judge the fishing tournament. I skipped the full rules, but simply put, the largest horse mackerel wins.

Chip: Dull for me, dull for you. Dull for all the fishies, too! Nyuuuk nyuk nyuk nyuk!So I grabbed my fishing rod and headed for the ocean. After I caught a couple of horse mackerels, I took them back to Chip. The first one wasn’t big enough, but the second one was 17.1 inches and took over the top spot.

Chip: Ah, it's...a 17.1 incher!I lacked the motivation to catch more fish and improve my score. So I just waited it out. My laziness paid off, because when I returned later, my fish remained the #1 catch and I won the tournament!

Chip: The winner, with a fine horse mackerel of 17.1 inches, is you!Chip told me my prize would be in the mail.

When I walked over by my house, Bunnie was standing there in front. She gave me a bath mat for free, because she was embarrassed that it was featured in Nerds and Wyverns Weekly.

Bunnie: My bath mat was just featured in the latest issue of Nerds and Wyverns Weekly!I saw a human wearing a bunny hood, and I thought Francine (aka Frankengaga) had returned to Forest. But it wasn’t her. Instead, it was her partner in crime, Chrissy. She just moved into town. Oh joy.

Chrissy: Oh, hey! You, like, live around here, right? This is my big debut here in Forest!Fang asked me to make a delivery to Lily, so I took her the item. It turned out to be a polar fleece, which Lily didn’t seem to care for.

Lily: Oh... A polar fleece.I noticed the northern lights (aurora borealis) up in the sky, so I stopped for a moment to enjoy them.

The northern lights in the night sky above Forest.Soon after, I returned to Fang to tell him I made the delivery. He thanked me for helping a “simple country animal” and he gave me a cityscape wall to reward me.

Fang: It's really nice of you to help out a simple country animal like me. Thanks, toasty!

Rabbit Duck Feud

When I started up the game today, I was a bit surprised to find that I had no mail. I haven’t played since Saturday, so I thought it seemed a bit odd to go four days without receiving a single letter. Oh well.

I went to visit Prince, and I had to question his sense of interior design. His house is filled with steel drums! What’s up with that? Maybe he’s just practicing to join Stomp (or the Blue Man Group).

Three steel drums lined up in Prince's house.When I met up with Genji outside, he asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. He gave me ten minutes to find him, Friga, and Mallary.

Genji: Time limit is 10 minutes. There's 3 of us, right? You gotta find us ALL in that time.It only took me a few seconds to find Friga, since she was hiding behind a nearby tree.

Friga: Oh no! How did you know I was here, so chill?!A couple minutes later, I found Mallary. But I was having trouble finding Genji. I made a full circle around town, and shortly after I began my second trip, time expired. About 20 seconds later, I found him. So close…

Genji: Wah ha ha ha ha ha ha! That's right, time ticked down, so it's our win, on a bun!To get my revenge, I waited until he was involved in a conversation with someone else and then I fired off a party popper above him to scare him to death. He was not happy.

Me standing on a cliff and firing a party popper over Genji's head. Genji looks up at me angrily.Actually, he was just having an argument with Friga for some reason.

Mallary asked me to make a delivery to Bunnie, but she only gave me about half an hour to complete the task. However, I had no trouble finding Bunnie since she was at home. However, she seriously did not like the gift Mallary sent her (an optical shirt). In fact, she was downright mad about it. She even declared Mallary her mortal enemy! Wow!

Bunnie: I can't BELIEVE it! Mortal enemy, thy name is, like, Mallary!When I returned to Mallary and told her Bunnie didn’t like the gift, she was peeved. I think we have ourselves a Forest feud.

Mallary: No way. Not possible! Well, see if I ever send a special gift to THAT neighbor again!To get away from all the negative vibes around town, I took a bus trip out to the city–where it was snowing once again. I met up with my old friend (and former neighbor) Rolf the white tiger. He was talking about Phineas, the sea lion who gives out balloons and other prizes.

Rolf: No one knows where he comes from or why he does it, but sometimes there's a guy who hands out prizes.Rolf wondered if Phineas could be K.K. Slider in disguise. He thought giving out balloons could be K.K.’s day job. I don’t think so, Rolf. But it’s good seeing you again.
