Ed’s Early Exit

A message posted to the bulletin board today reminded me that Bunny Day is coming up tomorrow. I like how it says to “get your shovel ready,” as if we’re going to be attacking Zipper T. Bunny with our shovels…and then possibly burying him. Oh, wait, maybe that’s just me? 😆

4/19/2025 ~Notice~ Tomorrow, April 20th, is the day Zipper T. Bunny comes to town! Get your shovel ready and see you in front of the town hall!

When I visited Ed, I was surprised to find he was all packed up and ready to leave town!

Ed: Whoa! Jeff?! I was trying to move out in secret, but you must've heard my muscles flexing.

He has only lived here for three weeks, so he barely had enough time to unpack his hay! 😉 I guess he couldn’t stirrup the will to stay. But three weeks is the same length of time that his predecessor Groucho spent here. I guess the new guys must not like it here for some reason.

At the Roost tonight, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. That worked out well, because he played “Steep Hill” for me; one of my favorites!

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

After the show, Mint asked me to play a game of hide and seek with her. She gave me ten minutes to find her, Big Top, and Nana. I found Mint very quickly, right behind Marina’s house. The other two took me a few minutes, because they were both in the northeast part of town (near the museum). I seemed to scare Nana when I found her. 😛

Nana: Eek!

With that, I won the game…but Mint swore that it was the last time she’d ever lose to me.

Mint: Maybe you are pretty good at hide-and-seek, after all. But...that's the LAST time I lose to you!

My pockets were full, so she’s going to send my prize in the mail.

Bunny Day is coming up tomorrow! I’m not sure if I’ll play or not, but it is a fairly easy way to make about 100k. Feel free to check out my Bunny Day Guide for more info! Have a Happy Easter and I’ll see you next time!

Chip’s Fish Market?

Yesterday, I ran into Phineas in the city. He gave me a yellow balloon, and then I chatted with a yellow rabbit…my old buddy Gaston.

Gaston, in the city: I came by to check out the auction house. It's nice to keep an eye out for bargains there.
No one bids like Gaston.

Today, Chip was hosting the April fishing tournament. You could catch any type of fish you wanted, but it needs to be big.

Antonio: Today's the fishing tourney! Any kind of dish is OK, as long as you catch a humongous one!

Felicity wondered if Chip runs a fish market, since that would explain his need for all of these fish.

Felicity: I wonder if he runs a fish market... Ohmigosh, that would make PERFECT SENSE!
Let me guess, it’s called Fish ‘n’ Chip’s.

That might sound like a good story, until you realize that Chip immediately eats all the fish you give him. So there’s nothing left that would make it to market.

I caught a zebra turkeyfish and gave it to Chip, but it was only 9.6 inches long. The current record was a 41.1-inch sea bass that Felicity caught, so I went back to fish more. A couple minutes later, I caught a sea bass. It measured 46.1 inches, so I took over the top spot. Chip gave me a caladium as my prize.

Chip: And of course, the prize... A caladium! Yes! All for you!

I returned later tonight to find a letter from Chip in the mail. He confirmed that I won the tournament, and he sent me a gold trophy.

Results Announcement: The big winner of the April 12th, 2025, fishing tourney is Jeff's 46-inch sea bass! You're number one! -From Chip

I then made my way over to the Roost. I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Waltz” for me.

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

Between Able Sisters and Big Top’s house, I fell into a pitfall that was hidden by a tree! Big Top must’ve planted it there for me! Well if so, he got me. 😛

Me, struggling to get out of a pitfall in Animal Crossing: City Folk (ACCF) for Nintendo Wii.

Here are a few other quick notes about yesterday and today:

  • Yesterday, I found a Spaceman Sam & a mega howloid in the recycle bin.
  • Ed asked me to catch a common butterfly for him, so I did. He rewarded me with 528 bells.
  • Tonight, I delivered a manor wall from Big Top to Monty. Big Top also gave me 528 bells.

See you next week!

King Appetite

Now that April is here, so are the pink trees of cherry blossom season! 🌸 Be sure to enjoy the pretty sights to see, in whichever Animal Crossing games you may be playing! 🙂

Pink trees for cherry blossom season.

Big Top was sick with a cold today, so I gave him some medicine. Get well soon!

Felicity asked me to make a delivery to Monty, and I agreed to help out. She sent him a candy gingham, and he hated it so much that he even barked like a dog. 😆

Monty: ...Woof. That's...quite a candy gingham. Yeah, that looks like something Felicity would make.

I thought that was harsh…but he wasn’t done! He continued to insult all of Felicity’s stuff! 😆

Monty: It's got that schlubby look, like all Felicity's stuff. Well, I for one won't roll over and accept this.

I went back and told Felicity the bad news, and it made her cry. But she rewarded me with a kiddie carpet for making the delivery.

I turned off the game for a while, but I returned tonight. Mint asked me to deliver a gift to Marina, but I was surprised by the present: It was a jungle camo! Why would an octopus need jungle camouflage?

Marina: Oh... Jungle camo.

Even though Marina wasn’t thrilled with it, she accepted it. So her reaction definitely wasn’t as bad as Monty’s earlier. When I returned to Mint, she rewarded me with a cowhide rug.

I went up to the Roost, and I found Felicity drowning her sorrows…with coffee.

Felicity, at the Roost: Psst! Hey! Dumpling! Whaddaya think, huh...? Do I look all grown up and stuff, drinking my coffee?

But she wasn’t just thirsty, she was hungry too. Very hungry!

Felicity: There's a little man haunting me today... And his name is KING APPETITE!

She referred to her seat as “VIP seating” for K.K.’s show, even though she’s facing the wrong way. 😛 But I sat down and enjoyed a performance of K.K. Rally before wrapping up my game for the night.
