Frog Gone

Today, Midge told me she was on a hunt for buried treasure. The dialogue reminded me of the treasure hunt mini-game in New Horizons, but City Folk doesn’t have such a game. Instead, she was just asking me to find a fossil for her.

Midge: You see, I've been on a hunt for a buried treasure... Specifically, a treasure from our ancient history!

Robin asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek, and she gave me ten minutes to find her, Roscoe, and Big Top. Unlike the last time I played this, it was a slow process. I found Big Top about two and a half minutes into the game, and it took another two minutes to find Robin herself.

Robin: OH NO! Can't you pretend you didn't see me, la-di-da?

About a minute after that, I found Roscoe to win the game.

Roscoe peeks out from behind a tree during a game of hide and seek.

Robin rewarded me with a mega rustoid (a gyroid).

Robin: And you get something nice for winning, too... a mega rustoid!
But it’s all rusted!

Antonio was talking about buried fossils and gyroids, and he thinks there’s something even bigger buried underground somewhere. Unfortunately, he wasn’t having luck finding anything. But at least he used his catchphrase in a way that made sense. 😛

Antonio: Fossil hunting is like a vertical roller coaster. Finding 'em is...kind of a letdown, in a hole.

Speaking of letdowns, that’s what I felt when I stepped into Jeremiah’s pad. He is already packed up and ready to move out of town! ☚ī¸

Jeremiah: That's right, I'm leaving Forest. It's been great knowing you, but it's time for me to move on now.

Even though I like Big Top a lot, Jeremiah was my favorite villager in town. And it hurts that he’s leaving after only two months! Technically, even a bit less than two months. Oof. I’ll miss the guy (even though I still have him in New Leaf). 😔

Anyway, I gave one of the fossils I founds today (an iguanodon tail) to Midge. She thanked me and gave me a plush carpet in return.

Later on, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Gumbo for me at the Roost.
