Not Stylish Enough

Roald sent me a letter in the mail, thanking me for the medicine I gave him last week. He sent me a jade econo-chair as my reward.

I saw Ruby in the city tonight, and she talked about Phineas. Well she didn’t mention him by name, but she referred to a “weird guy” that hands out balloons and streamers.

Ruby: Sometimes there's this weird guy here who hands out balloons and streamers and whatever...
Wait… Streamers?

Over by the Forest Museum, I found myself a four-leaf clover. Will I be lucky now?

Check it out! I found a four-leaf clover! Does this mean I'll be really lucky now?

Kitty asked me for a fossil, and I had two that Blathers just identified for me. I gave Kitty a plesio torso, and in return, she gave me a…white golf bag? Ugh. Why do I bother giving my villagers fossils for subpar rewards? I felt boneheaded.

Kitty: Thanks, Boy J. Here's a white golf bag for all your hard work, kitty cat.
I was teed off.

Goldie asked me for a new outfit, so I went to Able Sisters and bought a lotus shirt for her. But when I took it over to Goldie, she refused it! She said it wasn’t stylish enough!

Goldie: I know you went to a lot of trouble, and I appreciate it, but you should take it back.

After a quick stop at Nook ‘n’ Go, Roald asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. I agreed.

Roald: That's what I'm talking about, Jeff! I knew you were an ultragamer, I'm a jerk!

I had ten minutes to find him, Static, and Midge. It took me just one minute to find Static, who was hiding behind Whitney’s house. Another minute after that, I also found Midge. She was behind a tree, between the ramp and a pond.

Midge: Oh, bummer... And I was so certain that you weren't going to find me here!

Roald took me longer to find…not because his hiding spot was good. In fact, it was the worst of the bunch: He was hiding behind a sign post! It just took me longer because it was all the way on the other side of town.

He gave me a tall sputnoid as my prize for winning the game.

Roald: Hmm, what would be good? Oh, wait, here we are! A tall sputnoid! All for you, I'm a jerk!

I checked the lost-and-found for another shirt to give Goldie, because I sure wasn’t going to buy another one for her. Booker had a blue sweatsuit available, and I took it to Goldie. But once again, Goldie said it wasn’t stylish enough for her. Well, she’s just going to have to stay unstylish, because that’s all the clothes I’m getting for her.

Before ending my game for the night, I shot down a pink balloon present. I found a dart board inside.

I’m working on a new episode of Mario Plays ACCF, and I’m planning on uploading the video to Youtube tomorrow. I hope you’ll check it out, and have a great weekend!

Ghost of Christmas Past

After saving Goldie from moving out, I bought myself a firefighter tee at Able Sisters. It’s not a shirt I normally wear, but I thought I’d try something new. When I went back outside, I spotted a magic lamp on the ground behind the shop.

Over by the museum, I heard a balloon present flying overhead. I whipped out my slingshot and shot it down. It contained a beach table.

Pop goes the balloon present in ACCF.

Even though I had the magic lamp, I didn’t find Wisp anywhere in town. I think it was too early still, so I returned after 8 p.m. Over by town hall, a mysterious voice called out to me and scared me to death.

?????: Oh, ummmm... Helloooo.

Of course, it was Wisp.

Wisp: Oh, helloooooo again. Um, sorry for calling you back over, but...
Where’s Pac-Man when you need him?

I told him I had his lamp, but he requested that I rub it in the privacy of my attic. So I did. I normally ask him for furniture as my reward, but this time, I decided to ask for a hat. Hats can be fun to wear. To my surprise, he gave me a festive hat (Santa’s hat, in other words).

Wisp: OK! Here you go! It's a festive hat!

But Christmas was six months ago! Why this now? Is he the ghost of Christmas past?

I decided not to keep it on. It’s too late (or too early) to be thinking about Christmas.

Roald was still sick with a cold, and this time, I actually bought some medicine for him. Maybe I was just in the Christmas spirit. 😀

Bones sniffed out the barbecue in my pockets; I got it out of the lost and found a few minutes earlier. He offered to trade his “U R here” shirt for it, and I agreed.

Bones: I've always dreamed of having a barbecue for myself!

I sold some fruit and shook some trees before wrapping up my night. I didn’t spot any valuable tree beetles tonight, but I did catch a couple of emperor butterflies and a bee.

Noodly Vibe

Bones had a very important question for me tonight. He wanted to know if I just ate noodles.

Bones: Um, I have something super important to ask you... J-bot, did you just eat some noodles?

I told him no, and he was surprised. He said it’s because I was giving off a “noodly vibe.”

When I visited Static, he was sneezing on me! But he wasn’t even sick.

Static: Ah... Ahh... Ahhh... Ahhh... ACHOOO! ...Bah! Stupid sneeze!

Puck was standing near the bus stop, and he was talking about Static and Limberg. He said they seem so tight that they were even wearing matching outfits the other day! I don’t believe that for a second. But Puck just wanted to have a sidekick to wear matching outfits with.

Puck: I wish I had a sidekick to wear matching outfits with. Even if I was the sidekick, that'd be OK, too!
Well, there’s always Roald if you’re desperate.

Speaking of Roald, he was sick with a cold tonight. However, I didn’t have any medicine for him…and I was too lazy to go buy him some.

In the Roost, I checked out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song, and he played K.K. Soul for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Soul.

Goldie asked me to deliver a gift to Limberg, and I agreed to help. But only because I like Goldie. Limberg tried to guess what was inside the package, but his guesses were a bit unrealistic.

Limberg: Oh! So it's from Goldie? Whaddaya suppose is inside? Gold? Diamonds? My stubble?
Doubt it. Doubt it. I really hope not.

There was actually a kiddie bureau inside. Limberg said he was going to talk with Goldie about sending such expensive gifts…and yet he was hoping for gold or diamonds? 🤷

When I returned to Goldie, she thanked me and gave me a dirt-clod wall for helping out. Um, thanks? Well, at least she didn’t reward me with stubble, I suppose.
