Tom & Puck Throwback

I received Violet’s goodbye letter in the mail tonight.

To: Jeff, I'm moving out of town. I hope we bump into each other in Forest, so I can say good-bye in person! If not...farewell! From: Violet

Of course other villagers have also used this letter before, and I never really understood it. She said she hopes we bump into each other in Forest, but that’s not really possible in this game. Villagers are already gone by the time we get the goodbye letter.

Tom asked me to make a delivery to Puck, and it almost felt like I was playing in my GameCube town. What a throwback. 🙂 Tom and Puck have both lived in my GameCube town for over a decade.

Tom: Sooo, go on and take this to Puck for me, me-YOWZA!

Gala asked me for a new greeting, and I didn’t want to disappoint her by not helping. So I told her to say “Fry my sausage!” It’s just a general pig thing, and nothing personal. I wouldn’t fry Gala. 😛

Gala: Fry my sausage! Teehee! It has such a happy ring to it, doesn't it, oink oink?

I found Saharah the carpet-trader nearby, standing by that same ramp. Today she was looking for old wallpaper.

Saharah: I came from far away. I wish to trade wallpaper. It is for wallpaper that I came to your town today.

So I began asking my villagers for wallpaper. I couldn’t ask Kitty, though, because she was locked out of her house.

After completing my first trip around town, I still hadn’t run into Puck. But I eventually found him just south of the fountain…standing right next to Tom! So I gave him the delivery from Tom. He told me to thank Tom for him, even though Tom was standing right there. 😛

Puck: Thanks for bringing this, lone bone! And please say thanks to Tom!

But I did thank Tom anyway, and he rewarded me with 532 bells for making the delivery.

As for the wallpaper search, Goldie and Puck each gave me some. But I had none in storage, and I was still one short of a special wallpaper from Saharah.

There was one option left, but it meant helping Kitty. So I went fishing in the river for her key. Thankfully, I found her key on just my 3rd try! When I took it over to her, she thanked me with a lovely wall. And with that quest completed, I was finally able to ask her about old wallpaper. To my surprise, she actually had one for me!

I took the three old wallpapers back to Saharah, and I exchanged them for a (rare) bathhouse wall.

Saharah: Here...a bathhouse wall. Very exotic... Treasure it. It is a very rare thing.

    1. After you’ve had Nookington’s for a certain amount of time, City Folk gives you the option to revert to a previous store (Nook ‘n’ Go or Nookway) if you value longer hours over a large selection. Since I often play late at night when Nookington’s would be closed, I keep my store at Nook ‘n’ Go. It’s similar to using the night owl ordinance in New Leaf, just done in a different way.

  1. Did Tom ask you to deliver a picture book, or a Gameboy, or a video tape to Puck? Then it really would be like a Gamecube town.
