Marcel Marches Out

Yesterday, Queenie told me that she heard Blathers going on and on about fossils. (No surprise there.) Even though she didn’t relate to the fossil love, she appreciated his attention to detail.

Queenie: He loves info tidbits as much as I love berry crumble.

Marcel informed me that he’s going to be moving out of town! I didn’t say a word about changing his mind.

Marcel: Hey, J-rock, I know this is kinda sudden, but I have to move out of Forest.

Of my 1-hour 15-minute Friday night session, one hour was spent bug hunting. And in that time, I earned about 160,000 bells. I would have played longer, but I was falling asleep and I needed a nap. 😛

I only spotted one shark the whole time… and a mosquito bit me just before I had a chance to reel it in. Oof.

Boomer was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday, and then again today.

Boomer: I don't feel so good. I don't even feel like eating... I'm scared, human!

Tonight was K.K. Slider night, and the singing dog performed “Only Me” again. That’s the same song he played two weeks ago!

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

To my surprise, Marcel was already packed up in boxes today! He sure wasn’t clowning around about moving!

Marcel: It's been a blast. I'll keep my memories of Forest forever, like ratty, old stuffed animals.

Apollo wanted a new greeting, but I didn’t want to bother thinking up something. But I was mildly amused by how he looked so much bigger than me (because I was standing down in the sand). 😛

Apollo: Boss. Can I talk at ya for a sec?

But when Wart Jr. had the same request, I told him to say “Pop my warts.” 😛

Wart Jr.: Heh... Pop my warts!! I can feel myself sounding like a nicer person already!

In my one-hour, 45-minute session tonight, I earned more than 220,000 bells. I’m still a long way from my summer goal though, so I’ll be back at the bug-hunt grind soon!
