A Sad Goodbye & Chicken Lips

My jaw dropped when I checked my mail tonight. Kiki, my favorite villager in town, was gone. She sent me this goodbye letter.

This is sad, Jeff, I'm sick of being normal! I wanna be peppy or angry or tired or...anything! So I'm moving! See ya! Be well... -Kiki

When I play once a week, as I have been, it’s rare for anyone to leave without warning like this. They’ll often be a villager in boxes ready to move out, sure. I don’t always mention that in the blog if I’m making them stay. But for someone to already be gone by the time I play, well that doesn’t happen very often.

Maybe I can blame Halloween for the black cat taking off. Just kidding about that, but it is really sad to see her go. Not only was she my favorite villager in town, but she had been here for over three years. In fact, my town was only a week old when she moved in!

Anyway, Tom Nook was asking me about the way he dresses at Nookington’s tonight. He wasn’t sure if he commands enough respect with what he was wearing.

Tom Nook: Are you trying to confuse me? Does it please you to taunt me, hm?
Tom Nook: These clothes just don't suit me...

Teddy asked me to deliver a letter to Rosie, and I agreed to help out. Rosie enjoyed the letter, and then told me to say hi to Teddy for her…even though Teddy was standing right next to me.

Rosie: OK then, don't forget to say hi to old Teddy for me!
Or you could do it yourself?

But as soon as I got done speaking with her, she saw Teddy and immediately accused him of stalking her!

Rosie: Teddy...I know you're a big fan... But would you stop following me?!
Oh by the way, Teddy… Rosie says hi.

When I ran into Benedict, he asked what his best side was. I chose “right,” and his response was nearly as shocking as Kiki’s goodbye letter. He asked if I wanted him to kiss me! WHAT THE HECK, BENEDICT?

Benedict: You think my lips are cute? Why, do you want me to smooch you or something?
No thanks. And do you even have lips?

What a weird night it was in Forest. It almost feels like a dream. Wait, is it a dream? Am I writing this blog entry in my sleep? I’ll let you know when I wake up. 😉
