Mint’s Personal Trainer

On Wednesday, Rosie asked for more pink furniture (surprise, surprise) and I gave her a lovely loveseat. She was outdoors, so I haven’t seen it in her house yet, but she rewarded me with a striped cone. Sadly, it was a traffic cone, not an ice cream cone. 🍦

The next day, Rosie told me she was nearing the finish line.

Rosie: I'm getting CRAZY close to the finish line now!

I’m guessing she must have a goal of having a certain number of pink furniture items in her house before she’s satisfied. I originally wasn’t a fan of the way villagers ask for the same thing over and over in Wild World. But now I’m starting to appreciate the process more.

Basically, they seem to want their house decorated a certain way, and they use us to accomplish their goal. I’ve been remembering to save my pink items for Rosie. It makes me feel more involved than if it was just a random request each time.

Note: Kabuki has been asking me for green items, so I’m starting to shop for him as well. I just wish I could have given Kiki more black furniture before she moved out.

Goldie told me that she’s been helping out Mint lately, acting as her personal trainer.

Goldie: Lately, I've been helping Mint with some personal training.

She even showed me how she does it!

Goldie: Let me show you how I do it, meooo-OH!
Goldie: You can do it, meooo-OH! Feel the burn! Feel the burn!

Goldie is so adorable! I think I like her more and more every day.

Yesterday (Friday), it was finally snowing in town for the first time this year.

As I was entering Goldie’s house, I heard the UFO flying by! But the animation of me knocking and entering Goldie’s door had already begun, so there was nothing I could do. It’s too bad I didn’t notice a second earlier; I was far enough north that I may have had a chance at it!

Well at least it confirmed that 1) UFOs can come on Fridays in Wild World, and 2) UFOs can come while it’s snowing.

Today (Saturday) is La-Di-Day, and several of my villagers had songs to sing for me. Big Top was the first one to audition.

Big Top: All right, focus your attention, if you will, to my gut, villain!
Ol’ Lyle back there looks shocked. Bang.

Because elephants “sing” tunes with a booming percussiony “voice,” it’s hard to tell what the actual notes are. So I didn’t hire him; I wanted to hear some more songs first.

I ran into Rosie, and she gave me a lovely carpet for free. This is something that would match her pink room, though! Oh well.

Kabuki performed a song for me, and it was the Super Mario theme! But I hear that all the time in Mushroom, so I didn’t need it here too. I entered Margie’s house, and she also sang a song for me.

Margie: Would you care for a little live concert, tootie?

Even though her song, like Big Top’s, was too full of booming drum hits to detect much of a melody, I went ahead and hired her. It will be the new town tune in Forest.

Nookington’s didn’t have any pink items for Rosie today, but I did buy two green items for Kabuki. Unfortunately, Kabuki didn’t bring up the topic even though I chatted with him many times. I’ll save them for another day.

I put up a new ACWW video episode today! It covers events from November and December. I hope you’ll check it out. 🙂
