Being Watched

Gracie was in town yesterday, and I hadn’t seen her in a while, so I made sure to chat her up. As she was, uh, taking my measurements, all the girls in town came over to watch! Rosie and Margie pinged me, and Mint was just walking towards me.

Gracie: Darling, let's start with your measurements.
Can I get some privacy here?

Once Gracie was done measuring me and moved on to a pop quiz, the girls all lost interest and walked away. 🤣🤣🤣

Gracie: Oh, sweetie. Time for a fashion pop quiz!

She gave me a certificate saying I was a true fashionista. I didn’t get a prize or anything, but now I realize that I should have kept talking to her more, and I didn’t. Oops. Maybe next time.

When I mentioned “all the girls in town” above, that wasn’t entirely true. That didn’t include Goldie, who had been sick for a while. She was in her house, but she was finally feeling better today. She gave me a conga drum (and a kiss?) to thank me for the medicine.

Goldie: Here you go. As promised, a conga drum, just for you, woof.

Even though I’ve been playing more frequently over the past week, it’s not because of snow. In fact, it hasn’t snowed again since last Tuesday! I was thinking snow was more frequent once winter started, but that hasn’t been the case so far.

Today, I spoke with Teddy and he asked what happened to my face. And no, I had not been stung by a bee. He was just being rude.

Teddy: Yo, champ! WHOA! Man... What happened to your face...

Anyway, he asked me if I thought all he does is work out and get big, and I answered yes. That’s all he ever seems to talk about (when he’s not being rude), after all. So he got mad at me for my answer, gave me a “How DARE you,” and basically called me ignorant.

Teddy: Yeah, I take time out to school ignorant folks on my habits, too, in a pond!

I am SO ready for him to leave town. As much as I like him in other games, I’m starting to strongly dislike him in Wild World.

At the other end of the spectrum, I just seem to be liking Margie more and more. She was talking about how much she loves Forest. How cute. 🙂

Margie: Forest is such a cute town, like gum! I heart Forest!

Goldie was in her house again today, and she was talking about designing. I didn’t quite understand why she told me she didn’t have a pencil in her house, though.

Goldie: I don't have a pencil in my house...
Well your gyroid kinda looks like a big pencil…

After having Blathers identify my fossils, I went to Benedict’s house. He has been asking me for a fossil, so I gave him an archaeopteryx. He gave me an exquisite rug in return. I wanted to see if he would display the fossil, so I left his house and then re-entered. He did indeed display it, and he joked that his house was like a new mini-museum.

Benedict: It's like the opening of a new miniature museum, uh-hoo!

When I spoke to him again though, he asked for another fossil. I gave him a plesio skull and he gave me 500 bells. At this point, I stopped talking to him before he wanted any more fossils. I’m losing out by giving them away for rugs and 500 bells. But he sure seemed happy with his little museum. 🙂

I found a striped cone in the recycle bin at town hall. It’s not particularly worth much, but it seems rare to find much of anything in there in Wild World. So I’ll take any freebies I can get.

There hasn’t been any change in my town status, despite the flowers and trees I’ve been planting. But I’m going to keep trying! See you next time!
