It was finally snowing in Forest tonight, for just the 2nd time this winter. That gave me a nice break from having to water my flowers. I ran into Saharah, and she told me she lost her map.
Wait…what? This dialogue didn’t sound familiar to me. Could it be…? Is it possible? Believe it or not, this is my first encounter with Saharah in Wild World! My town is 3 years and 2 months old… So how in the world did I go without seeing her for 38 months?!
Admittedly, most of the days I’ve played have either been Tuesdays (Crazy Redd days) or Saturdays (Lyle/K.K. days). But still, I’ve played enough other random days that I should have seen her before now! After all, I have seen Dr. Shrunk, Gracie, Pascal, Wendell, Katrina, and even Gulliver’s UFO…all multiple times! It’s weird that Saharah has eluded me for this long.
Well regardless, I had a job to do: Saharah asked me to make some carpet deliveries for her!
The first one was addressed to Phyllis. It was still Pelly’s shift at town hall, so I wasn’t sure if I would have to wait until later tonight. But fortunately, Pelly took it for me.
I ran into Kabuki, and he was being unusually nice today. He said he appreciated the fact that I came to talk to him even though it’s snowing out.
But on the other hand, he later gave me the nickname “Crazy J,” so maybe it evened out after all.
It took me a while to track down Saharah again, but she thanked me for making the delivery to town hall. Next, she wanted me to take a carpet package to Tom Nook.
I headed over to Nookington’s, and I couldn’t help but notice something: After years of making deliveries to animals for Tom Nook, and receiving ordered items from Tom Nook, this is the first time I’ve made a delivery to Tom Nook.
When I went back to Saharah, she told me my work was done. She offered me either a blue tarp or a western desert. I chose the latter…though after seeing what it looked like, I had no intentions of keeping it.
Well, working for Saharah was a new experience for me. Definitely not something I was expecting when I started up the game today. I guess I hadn’t even thought about not seeing Saharah yet in this game. But I do like how the Saharah experience is different in each Animal Crossing game.
On GameCube, you trade-in carpets (and pay a fee) to get new carpets. In Wild World, you make deliveries for her. In City Folk, you ask all your villagers if they have old carpets/wallpaper for her. And in New Leaf, she redecorates your main room’s carpets and walls for you.
Just a few other quick notes about today:
- I bought a satellite at Nookington’s for my space room.
- Mint was ready to move out, but I changed her mind (after many attempts).
- I delivered a letter from Goldie to Big Top. Goldie rewarded me with a chic wall.
Happy holidays, and I’ll see you all next time!
Hi, I’m from Spain and I had ANWW, but… I lose it. Anyway, here in Spain, Saharah is call Alcatifa, what an strange name. Honestly, I prefer Saharah
Merry Christmas for everyone (I know I’m late) and greetings from Spain!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 🙂
I had that same concern when Saharah told me to deliver something to Phyllis and I was playing too early in the day for her to be around (also alone; had a visitor been present Pelly would be at the post office window and Phyllis at the civic center window). I’d also not known then that Pelly and Phyllis are sisters.
Hey Jeff! I saw your post today and it was really cool how you got to deliver that carpet to Tom Nook. What did he say after you gave it to him? Anyway, I don’t look at these much but today’s story was very interesting. So thanks.
Tom Nook was surprised to see me delivering the carpet, and he asked if I came all the way there just to deliver it. He then thanked me and told me to say hi to Saharah for him.
