An Elegant Gift

Mom sent me a letter in the mail, telling me that she sent Dad to bed without dinner. 😛

Dear Jeff, Your dad and I had a little spat, so I sent him to bed without dinner. Remember when I used to do that with you? It still works! -Mom

But the most interesting part is the gift she attached to the letter: It was an elegant mushroom, which sells for 10,000 bells! Wow, thanks Mom!

At the Roost, K.K. Slider performed Imperial K.K. for me.

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

I took a bus ride out to the city, and I paid Katrina 100 bells to smack me over the head.

Katrina: YEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee!
“I predict a headache in your future.”

She told me that something bad may be in my future, or it may not be. So helpful, as always.

Katrina: But remember... Even the most skilled swimmer may only swim where there is enough water.

When I returned to town, Simon told me that he recently competed in a race. Tom won first place, Big Top finished second, and then Simon was last. That’s pretty bad to lose a foot race to an elephant.

Simon: I was in a race a while ago. Tom came in first place, Big Top came in second place...

I shot down a balloon present and found a bass inside. The instrument, not the fish.

Objet d’Art

Wolfgang wanted to move out of town tonight, but I again told him to stick around.

Wolfgang: And moving's such a hassle, anyway. All right, you've convinced me. I'll stay in Forest!

Goldie asked me for a fossil tonight, so I gave her a fern fossil that I dug up. She rewarded me with a blue bookcase, and then immediately took the fossil home. She now has four fossils in her house (all thanks to me, I’m sure). She liked it so much that she started speaking French. 😛

Goldie: You know what looks great? My place, thanks to that awesome little objet d'art you dug up for me!
I thought you were a golden retriever, not a French poodle.

It was K.K. Slider night, and tonight’s song was K.K. House. It sounded pretty good tonight.

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

Gwen was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her from the shop. When I took it over to her, she said she’s never felt so unpretty. I found that hard to believe. 😀

Gwen: P-p-please. Never felt so... unpretty. Qu-qu-quickly...

I saw my bank account was nearing a milestone, so I gathered up a few loads of foreign fruit. I took my earnings over to town hall, and my balance has now reached 48 million bells.

Your current balance is 48,000,000 bells.

I’ll be back with more next week. Hope to see you then!

Balancing a Big Top

Three weeks ago in Wild World, Big Top suddenly moved out of my town without warning…after living in town for four and a half years. So what does that have to do with City Folk? Well, guess who just moved into ACCF Forest? Big Top!

Big Top: Nice to meetcha! I'm Big Top, and I'm so happy to finally meet someone from this town!

Big Top is one of my favorite villagers, and the timing is great to get him here so soon after he left my Wild World town. I wish things always balanced out like this. 😛 He instantly becomes my 2nd favorite villager in ACCF Forest, just behind Goldie (and just slightly ahead of Lucky and Tom). Welcome to town, Big Top! 🙂 🙂

Chip was in town for the fishing tournament, and he told me that Gwen won the competition with a 41-inch sea bass.

Since it’s Saturday night, I made sure to check out K.K. Slider’s performance at the Roost. He played Cafe K.K. for me, and I felt it was fitting since New Horizons is finally going to get the Roost cafe soon. But it’s a pretty good song regardless.

When I visited Goldie, her dialogue almost sounded like she was asking me to play a treasure hunt game!

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

But she was really just asking me for a fossil. City Folk doesn’t have treasure hunts, after all. 😛 So I gave her a pachy skull I had in my pockets, and she rewarded me with 532 bells.

Maelle asked me to make a delivery to Lucky, and the item turned out to be a burglar’s shirt. 😛 (And yes, Simon was being nosy.)

Lucky: Oh, a burglar's shirt! Huh huh huh huh huh! Maelle is the one who sent this, woof woof?

Lucky loved the shirt and he put it on right away. He said Maelle must’ve been reading his mind. I guess Lucky is planning on breaking into some houses and stealing some stuff tonight! 😛 When I told Maelle the good news, she rewarded me with a paper lantern.

See you all next time!
