A Starter Returns

On Monday, I received Hopper’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Jeff, I've made up my mind to move out of Forest. This place is great, and I'm gonna be sad to leave it, but it's time to move on! Keep your ears clean, kid! -Hopper

Yesterday, his replacement moved in. It’s Gabi the rabbit, who was actually one of my starters back in 2008! I’m not a huge fan of Gabi, but she’s certainly not as bad as some villagers I have in Forest right now.

Gabi: Oh! Hiya! I'm Gabi!

Speaking of those worse villagers, I pitfall’d one of them. 😉

Jambette, in a pitfall: Eeeek!

Queenie asked me to visit her house, which is actually a pretty rare thing in this game. I agreed, but she made me schedule a time (5:00). In the meantime, she went home, locked her door, and put up this sign. This is something I don’t see very often!

Sign on Queenie's door: Tidying up. Have patience.

I ran into Pascal on the southern bridge, and I found a scallop on the beach to give him. But first, he wanted to talk about reading the dictionary. 😛

Pascal: You ever just sat down and READ a dictionary, maaan? It's got EVERYTHING in there!

He then asked for the scallop and gave me a helm in its place…before he jumped into the river and swam away.

Jambette asked me to make a delivery to Queenie, but there was a potential problem: She wanted the delivery done by 5 p.m.! And Queenie wasn’t going to open her door until then…or so I thought.

But I went by Queenie’s house, and fortunately, her door was open early. In fact, it was just barely after 4:30! However, she wouldn’t let me give her the delivery; she was only interested in me visiting. And she kept asking me to touch her furniture.

Queenie: If there's something you like here, I'll let you touch it. Just this once!

Once I was done touching everything (ahem), I decided to leave. She asked what I thought of her house, and I told her it was awesome. But she thought I was being sarcastic, and she got mad!

Queenie: Well, I've had enough of your smart-alecky pants for today.

Once I was outside, I re-entered her house to make the delivery. When I told her it was from Jambette, she said she didn’t expect anything too tasteful from her. 😆😆😆 (After that, I just had to forgive her for getting mad at me.) 😛

Queenie: From Jambette? I guess I shouldn't expect anything too tasteful from HER then, hmm...?
The gift was a fire hydrant.

Once I finally tracked Jambette down again, she rewarded me with a floral wall.

Today, Queenie sent me a letter, thanking me for visiting yesterday. She attached 500 bells as a gift. Ooh, big spender. 😛

Gabi was outside today, so I didn’t get to see the inside of her house yet. But she was discussing decorating, saying she was conflicted by the battles of angel Gabi and devil Gabi. 😛

Gabi: Within me, fierce furniture battles rage between the angel Gabi and the devil Gabi!
You might want to see Dr. Shrunk about this problem.

I posted a full gameplay video of yesterday’s session, so check it out if you’d like to see a fairly typical session of mine:

See you again soon! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
