Not So Fast!

Not long after starting up the game tonight, I realized something was wrong. In fact, last week’s blog entry was wrong! Mathilda did not waltz away after all. She’s still living in Forest!

Mathilda: Phew! It's not easy being so pretty, roo'd. It's hard work!

I thought I was letting her leave last week! I still had video of last week’s session, so I went back to check her reactions each time I told her to stay. This is what she said:

  1. Don’t try to stop me! My life depends on it!
  2. I won’t be able to get away from this place if you keep saying that!
  3. It’s not you, it’s me. I knew you’d understand…

Number 2 must’ve been the one that changed her mind. But I was always under the impression that it was the last thing they say that determines whether they stay or go. Apparently that’s not the case…unless number 3 doesn’t mean what I thought. I don’t know if posting this will help any of you with potential move-outs, but I figured it doesn’t hurt to document it. In the meantime, I still have Mathilda in my town.

When I spoke with Antonio, he was discussing the “brain freeze” you get after a cold drink. Not only does he claim to love brain freeze, but he thinks it actually makes him smarter!

Antonio: Y'know, the moment that ache starts in my sinuses and creeps into my brain...
Antonio: I just FEEL myself getting smarter and smarterer... honk!
Smarterer?

Big Top asked me for an amazing outfit that will knock everyone’s socks off. I went to Able Sisters and decided to buy a spade shirt for him. While I was there, I spoke with Sable, and she gave me some advice: She said the quickest way to get something done is to just do it.

Sable: The shortest route to getting something done is to just do it!

A bit obvious perhaps, but it’s certainly true! 😉

Down at the Roost, I checked out a musical performance by K.K. Slider. I asked him for a random song, and he played “To the Edge” for me. It’s a bit boring and repetitive; not my favorite song.

After that, I took the spade shirt over to Big Top. However, he said it wasn’t “daring” enough and he refused it! Ugh. Fine then, no shirt for you!

Big Top: I want something that's daring! Something that'll make people's hearts race!
Try bungee-jumping off town hall then.
