Last Thursday, I spotted Katrina’s tent in town. Inside, Katrina talked about Tom Nook rehearsing his smile, and then she gave me a fortune that sounded fairly neutral.
But just a few moments later, I fell flat on my face! I think this was the first time I’ve taken a spill like this in Wild World. Clearly, it was due to the curse fortune from Katrina.
I didn’t want to be the only one that was falling down, so I grabbed a few pitfall seeds and planted some fun for my villagers. 😉 I managed to get Hopper, Rhonda, and Curly…although Curly took a little extra effort. He seemed to walk right over one pitfall without falling in! But I got him good a few moments later. You can see all of this pitfall fun in the video at the end of this entry.
Between pitfalls, Hopper told Rhonda a story about how his dad used to put on a hockey mask and jump out of his closet when Hopper was young. 😛
Rhonda said that explains why Hopper is so messed up. 😀
I didn’t check my mail on Thursday, and then I didn’t play at all on Saturday. So I had quite a few letters waiting for me today. I was particularly surprised to find a goodbye letter from Rhonda!
My villagers don’t normally move out without notice, but then again I don’t normally go more then 3-4 days without playing. This time, I went five days (since I played on Thursday instead of Saturday last week). So maybe that’s why. Well, at least it wasn’t Kiki or Rosie that moved away.
I also got a letter from Lyle; he sent me 100 bells because I fell last week. How does he know these things???
And of course, I also received the latest letter from Boondox. Apparently my 100,000 bell donation went to medicine for a sick turtle?
There was a blue feather attached to the letter, which means that Boondox just proposed to me. Oh wait, this is Animal Crossing, not Harvest Moon. 😉 I put the blue feather on. As for the green feather, I attached it to my first Boondox letter and stored it in the post office.
I also found a note in a bottle on the beach, and it seemed to have someone’s tax form inside.
Big Top was sick with a cold (did he catch it from the Boondox turtle?), so I gave him some medicine. He then sneezed away the chills.
Crazy Redd was in town, but I didn’t need the worthy painting he had for sale.
When I ran into Rosie, she was trying to unload her “old, lame junk.” She asked if I wanted to help her recycle, and I said yes.
So she gave me a cloudy shirt, and I decided to wear it. It’ll match my blue feather.
And now, here is my latest Wild World video, Ep. 14. It includes highlights of the past two months or so, including the pitfall fun I mentioned above. I hope you enjoy it!
Well, either Boondox proposed or donating to them is how you get the blue feather to propose to someone with. That said, I’m totally okay with Animal Crossing in general not having a marriage mechanic- for the player or the animals (other than the married NPC couples in New Leaf).
I agree. It works in games like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley, but those are all humans. It’d be awkward to have a gorilla married to a squirrel. 😛 Not to mention all the divorces that would happen because animals move away so frequently.
Goodbye Rhonda I guess.
We’ll you start going for perfect town soon?
Oh, I forgot all about that! I may not try for it immediately, but I may start stocking up on flowers. I may discuss this and some other long-term goals of mine in the next entry.
