Inner Charm, Ruby’s Retreat

I got to see the inside of Marina’s house today. She said her house was a mess, but it really wasn’t. It looks really nice! Or should I say…lovely? 😉

The inside of Marina's house in Animal Crossing: City Folk.

I spoke with Nana outside, and she said the best thing about moving to Forest was getting to meet Mint. But she said this as Mint was walking by! Did she just say this because she saw Mint coming over? We may never know. 😛

Nana: I think maybe the best thing about coming to live here is that I got to meet Mint!

But moments later, things weren’t so cheery. I listened in on a conversation between them, and Nana felt like her life was so boring. So she asked Mint how to be more interesting. Mint responded by confirming that Nana looked “plain” on the outside, although she suggested Nana has “inner charm.” 😆

Mint, to Nana: And while you might look a little plain on the outside, I'm sure you have lots of inner charm, it's minty.

But I got dragged into the middle of the situation when Mint put me on the spot! She asked me which one of them had more inner charm! That’s a no-win situation there. 😆

Mint: So tell us, if you were to look at us and judge us right now, who would you say had more inner charm?

Since the whole purpose of the conversation was to make Nana feel better about herself, I said that Nana had more inner charm. And that indeed made Nana feel better! But it also made Mint feel depressed that nobody ever says that about her. Oof. This whole thing was her idea though, and I was basically just agreeing with her suggestion anyway. So I didn’t feel bad for her.

Mint: Oh, drop it. You are NOT invited to my pity party, it's minty...

When I went to visit Ruby, I was surprised to see that she was all packed up and ready to move out of town. I didn’t really want her to leave yet. (She moved in last March.)

Ruby: Hiya, li'l guy! I know this is kinda sudden, but I've decided to move to another town.
Another town, or another planet?

Good luck wherever you go, Ruby!

Over at the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. I had a howling good time as he took me on a safari. 🦁

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

I haven’t made many snowmen in Animal Crossing this winter (in any of the games), and the snow will be gone in another ten days. So when I saw two snowballs very close to each other, I rolled them up into a snowman tonight. Surprisingly, he was perfect! So he should be sending me a gift in the mail next time.

Snowman: I am an ivory idol! A frozen confection! And I owe it all to your skills! You have my eternal gratitude, sir!

Punchy asked me to catch a centipede for him, so I put on my walking shoes and did just that.

Punchy: Mrmpht! I can't believe it! You did it! It's a centipede!

Punchy rewarded me with 528 bells. That’s about five bells per foot. 😉

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you next time!

    I’m sure you’ve heard of homebrewing your consoles or in this case the wii and I was curious to ask if you would ever homebrew your wii and play animal crossing city folk online again?
