April Fools Day 2023

Today, I received Vladimir’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Jeff, Well, I'm finally moving out of Forest tomorrow. If it makes you feel any better, you're the only reason I stayed as long as I did. Thanks, pal. -Your pal, Vladimir

It’s April Fools Day, and I found Tortimer standing outside of town hall. He said he didn’t like the concept of there being a day when it’s okay to lie to people…

Tortimer: That said, I don't think I like having a day when it's acceptable to lie. I don't like lying, sprout!

And then he played a prank on me anyway. He gave me a leaf, which looks like a furniture item…but it’s a furniture item that looks like the furniture icon.

The leaf furniture item for April Fools Day in Animal Crossing: City Folk (ACCF) for Nintendo Wii.

You can even rotate it, but it’s not as recognizable from the other angles.

When I spoke with Tortimer again, he said it’s okay to play pranks…just not on him. 😛

Tortimer: It's OK to play pranks, but not on the mayor!

Of course, April also brings the pink petals of cherry blossom petals. I really liked this view of pink trees, the sunset, and Grizzly on the other side of the river.

Pink trees, sunset, and Grizzly.

Speaking of Grizzly, he asked me for a new catchphrase to replace me-YOWZA, which he stole from Tom. I couldn’t think of anything, so I told him to bear with. 😉

Grizzly: If you talk to someone with a really distinctive catchphrase, it can be infections, bear with.

And some of my villagers were trying to play tricks on me. Harry said that Tom Nook was opening up the back room of the shop, and everything was 90% off. Yeah, right. 😛

Harry: He's opened up the back room, and it's all 90% off! You should, er, stop by... ...Ah, who am I kidding?

Boomer was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine.

Happy April Fools Day, everyone! And enjoy cherry blossom season, it’s one of the prettiest times of the year! 🙂 See you next time!
