Death of a Star

Wolfgang told me he was looking for a certain lucky bug tonight, and he said he’s heard that people call it a spider…as if I would be unfamiliar with the term “spider.” 😛 🕷️

Wolfgang: I hear people call it a spider... Rumor has it that it's good luck to have one.

When I visited Astrid, I was a bit surprised to see that she was all packed up and ready to move out of town. While she wasn’t exactly my favorite villager, I actually will miss her. I greatly appreciated her help in getting rid of Kitty.

Astrid: I'm moving out soon! I'm just too special to stay in one town for very long.
Thank you for your service. You’re a star.

I started shaking trees to look for that spider for Wolfgang, but I first found a bee instead. One of them stung me without me ever seeing it (because it was hidden behind a house). My villagers certainly noticed my deformed face.

Bones: Yikes!

I went down to the Roost to check out the Saturday night musical performance from K.K. Slider. He played DJ K.K. for me; it’s a good song.

Jeff and his swollen face listen to K.K. Slider perform.

After taking some medicine and shaking more trees, I eventually found the spider I was looking for.

I caught a spider! Look at all those eyes!
Look at my eyes! I have two of them again!

I took the spider over to Wolfgang, and he told me I deserved a medal. But he just gave me a pear dresser. That’s alright. I’ll take it. 🍐

Coffee Cat

I went to Shampoodle today, and made my annual transformation into Mohawk McClover. Harriet even hired me to work behind the counter (just kidding). 😛

Mohawk McClover pretends to work at Shampoodle.

Portia was still sick. I hope she didn’t have chicken pox, because she was covered in spots! 😉

Portia: I haven't felt THIS awful since I ate ten servings of peach crisp in one sitting...

Goldie asked me for a new greeting, and I told her to say “I’m golden!” I wasn’t in a very creative mood, as you can probably tell. 😛 But then again, it’s hard to think up something good when they put you on the spot like that.

Several of my villagers were talking about the fishing tournament coming up this weekend. But I don’t plan on participating.

After making two trips around town, I still didn’t see Tom anywhere. Villagers don’t hide in the museum exhibits in City Folk like they can in New Leaf and New Horizons, but there is one place where they can go: The Roost. He must really like the coffee!

Tom: Man, a fine, locally owned cafe like this is really hard to find these days, lone bone.
Tell me about it! I wish my island had one!

I spoke to him repeatedly, and he eventually spouted this classic line of dialogue that I’ve seen many times before from other characters.

Tom: The coffee here is rich and mysterious, much like myself.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! And good luck if you’ll be participating in the upcoming fishing tourney! 🙂

Tom’s Little Nieces

Bones surprised me a bit when he said that a spider sounds pretty good. Was he looking for a pet, or a snack? 😛

Bones: A spider sounds PRET-ty good!

Even though I thought he was about to ask me to catch a spider for him, that’s not what this was about. He was just doing an impression of Nat, the Bug-Off host.

It’s Saturday night, so I headed over to the Roost for the weekly musical performance from K.K. Slider. I asked him for a random song, and he played K.K. Lullaby for me.

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

Puck locked himself out of his house, so I fished his key out of the river for him. After I returned the key, Puck rewarded me with 600 bells.

Outside of Able Sisters, Tom was talking about how well Sable and Mabel get along. He said they remind him of his two little nieces!

Tom: The little sister follows the bigger one around like they were attached at the hip. It's really cute.

They sound so cute! I wish we could see them in a cut-scene or something.

After I made a trip to the city and back, I ran into Bones again. He was telling me about his ideas for an original comic book. It’s about a little dude named Chill J who takes cares of the goats in a village in the Kingdom of Forest.

Bones: Sweet! Well, it's kind of an epic fantasy, and it takes place in a sleepy village in the Kingdom of Forest.
Hey, if it’s about me, how about giving me a cut of the profits! 😉

When I visited Portia, I saw that she was sick with a cold. She must be having some Dalmatian inflammation. 😛 I bought some medicine at the shop for her. Get well soon, Portia!

Portia: To be honest, I feel like pear mousse served with a side of sneezes.
