Flea Infestation

Lucky approached me tonight and said he was thinking about moving out of town. I told him to stay, and he indicated that he’d like to stay, but he’s not sure if he can.

Lucky: Oh, J-bot... I'd really like to stay. But I don't know if I can get outta this one, in 2021...

I took a bus ride out to the city, where it was raining. My New Horizons enemy Rizzo was there. He wanted to check out Crazy Redd’s shop, but he was nervous about going to that “sketchy” part of the city. 😛 Since when is a rat afraid of being caught in a bad neighborhood?

Rizzo: That part of the city is awfully sketchy, you know, squee?

Back in Forest, I heard the unmistakable sound of fleas hopping around. My newest neighbor Gwen had fleas! I was kind enough to save her from the infestation.

I caught a flea! Itchy itchy!

She was mad about it, and she insisted that someone else gave her the fleas. I laughed off that excuse, but one minute later, I realized that she might have been telling the truth. Again, I heard fleas hopping around, this time on Goldie!

Goldie: I feel so dirty! Thank you for taking care of them for me...woof woof.

I also saved Goldie from the fleas. If Goldie gave her fleas to Gwen, I’m sure it wasn’t on purpose. Goldie is a good dog!

I continued talking to Lucky to see if he would mention moving again, but he kept talking about bugs and clothing.

Lucky: I sure hope I look as cool as a glass of ICE-COLD hot cocoa!
Umm… what?

He also asked me to catch a pill bug for him, and I did. When I gave it to him, he rewarded me with a manor wall.

I talked to him many times tonight, but he never brought up moving again. So I think he might be staying, although I’m not 100% sure about it. I hate when they give vague responses; I’d rather hear a definitive answer so I knew if I had to keep trying to save him or not.

Anyway, I hope you all have a good day…and don’t catch fleas! 😉

  1. It once took my 20 tries to get Egbert to stay before he said he would stay. He moved away a few months later.
