Tabby & Monkini

I found a new house in town, and I went inside. But what is this? It’s not Halloween! Is this a practical joke? No, Tabby has just moved into town. Ugh. Why?

Tabby: Well, I'm Tabby, and I'm the newest resident of your awesome town!
Why did I ever let Dotty leave?

Well, on the bright side, maybe this will motivate me to have my planned pitfall fun sooner rather than later. I’ll want to make sure Tabby is one of the victims participants. 😉

Static was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine. Get well soon, squirrel friend.

Static: Whoa, everything went dark for a minute just now. Was there an eclipse, cluck?

Champ the monkey became my latest villager (and the first male animal) to start wearing a bikini. It’s Forest’s first monkini.

Champ, wearing a skimpy bikini: You know, there are some cool handmade clothes out there, choo CHOO!Champ wears a bikini in ACCF.

Tangy asked me to make a delivery to Opal. The gift was a poncho, and Opal didn’t particularly like it. But she still put it on. Tangy then rewarded me with a round cactus.

Tangy: You totally have to take my round cactus! Go ahead, I'm a gem!
What a prickly situation.

I received Dotty’s goodbye letter in the mail today. I’d say I’ll miss her, but…I won’t. 😛

My friend Jeff, I'm moving away from Forest. Thanks for all the memories, Jeff! Byeeeee! -Yours, Dotty

But that letter was one of eight in my mailbox! I also received my monthly statement from the Bank of Nintendo, and new year’s greetings from Mom, Opal, Kitty, Benedict, Tangy, and Static.

Jeff! New Year's Greetings - Stuff this card under your pillow, and you've got my guarantee that your first dreams in the new year will be good ones! -Static

I walked over to town hall (which isn’t far from my house) and had a chat with Tortimer. He had a gift for me, the New Year’s shirt for 2018!

Tortimer: But first, since it's the new year and all, I need to give you something.

I put it on and went into my house for a closer look at it (since you can’t zoom in the camera outdoors). It has 2018 on the back and a dog on the front, since 2018 is the year of the dog in the Chinese zodiac.

I then spoke with all of my villagers, and they all wished me a happy new year.

Samson: Happy New Year! WOOOOOOO!

Tangy said that the 2018 version of her is more powerful. Does that mean her juice is more concentrated?

Tangy: The me of 2018 is a new, more POWERFUL me!

I spotted a balloon present and shot it down. Will it contain something lucky for the new year? Nah, it was just a green counter.

Happy new year, everyone! I hope you all have a great 2018! 🙂
